Really excited to share this big change in the way I'm producing Eurorack modules. Last week I took delivery of a desktop SMT Pick-and-Place machine. It's an assembly robot that will help me greatly, in lieu of stuffing hundreds of boards a year all by hand using tweezers. Having spent almost a week getting up to speed I'm happy to share my thoughts about my foray with in-house production automation.<br>

Today I'm investigating an issue with a Roland Juno-106. Voice #4 is a lot quieter than the others. And it's not a calibration issue. 99% certain it is NOT the brand new voice chips I put in as seen in a previous video. Troubleshooting will confirm that statement. So what else could it be? Maybe something EVERY 106 owner will want to be pro-active about mitigating?<br>
<br>
This video is posted for general information about my experiences. Always observe safety working on electronics, and never tinker around inside power supplies without first unplugging the power cord. De-soldering components on the Juno-106 must be done VERY CAUTIOUSLY to avoid lifting very tiny delicate traces. If you're not sure about anything, there's no shame in taking your instrument to a qualified service technician.<br>

Got around to patching the Behringer System 100 today. Plays well with Arturia Keystep Pro. Give the 172 module phaser and chorus effects a spin. And that 182 sequencer, I love how it is not pitch quantized and gives a weird Stranger Things vibe. Let's do this! No additional mastering or post-effects. This video was not sponsored.<br>

Quick Comparison of 3 Spring Tank Reverbs using my Reverb Driver version 2-1. I saw that many users were wanting to experiment with a variety of tank sizes, myself included. Now in my driver module version 2-1 I have added a jumper setting which makes it fast and easy to change the driver optimization for short tanks, medium tanks, or long tanks. Audio has been recorded direct, no other mastering or posts effects.

0:12 Ruby Tube 2EB2C1B Short size tank
0:55 Vintage Folded Line, Medium size tank like those in a Roland Space Echo

Today I'm auditioning a few humongous bass patches featuring the Gyrinx VCF, no effects. Feeding only a couple of 101-VCOs and Pittsburgh DNA Symbiotic Waves. Modulation by 2xADSR and Feedback Modules LFO, Sequenced by Keystep Pro. Headphones or good monitors recommended. Recorded direct to Tascam DR-05, no other mastering just a little normalization.<br>

This is the Korg SDD-1200 vintage effects unit. Featuring two completely independent digital delay lines. You can patch up the delays any way you like: In series, parallel, internal or external feedback loops.

I performed this little demo patch at the DFW Synth Headz Synth Meet over a week ago joined by MOTS.DFW at The Creatives Factory.

Today I'm investigating issues with a Sequential Drumtraks. While it is making sounds, the display is glitching out and the control functions are not working. In the end it was only incidental I was able to get it working again, for reasons I don't fully understand. The same phenomenon happens with my Drumulator, that's how I knew what to check for. It's my hope posting this video, that someone more knowledgable will be able to comment about this phenomenon.<br>
<br>
This video is posted for general information about my experiences. Always observe safety working on electronics, and never tinker around inside power supplies without first unplugging the power cord. If you're not sure about anything, there's no shame in taking your instrument to a qualified service technician.<br>
<br>
Since filming the video, I've discovered the batteries are still made in Japan. Also, the numbers on the battery may or may not necessarily be a date code. My new battery says 2132, so maybe it was made in 2021? Since the manufacture date and date installed may differ by a couple of years, I now write a date on the battery with a sharpie when I install it.<br>

Today I made a couple of demo songs featuring my Spring Tank Reverb Driver version 2. The module has been optimized for Ruby Tube 2EB2C1B Short size tank by changing R8 to 3K value resistor. I'm quite taken with this tank, it's nice and drippy. I will be offering some module/short-tank optimized combos for sale in my reverb store - see link below.<br>

Introducing my Spring Tank Reverb Driver version 2. Same great sound and features as before. But now in 4HP with added Feedback knob. The Drive setting is now a trimmer on the PCB Set-and-forget. In today's video I will be auditioning the module with a few different spring tanks and various patch scenarios. Like pairing the reverb with Synthrotek DLY. While my driver module is optimized for Medium length tanks, it can easily be modded to handle long and short size tanks well. Which one is your favorite? Special thanks to my friend Seth, for contributing Behringer System 2500 sounds and footage for this episode!<br>
<br>
On the 2500 patches, the dry signal was mult-ed such that the wet/dry mix was handled by a mixer off camera. Audio has been recorded direct, no other mastering or posts effects.<br>

Quick no frills comparison demo. The left Delta VCF has the LM13600 chip. The right one has the LM13700 chip. Is there a difference between them? Caution!: full resonance at the end of the clip. Recorded direct to Tascam DR-05, no other mastering or effects.

First time playing live! It was a lot. The first track went mostly well. Here it is w/ direct audio dubbed over from a rehearsal session for better audio.

These works were lovingly curated around mostly candid, found cassette recordings of total strangers. To find these sounds I scoured secondhand tape recordings in thrift stores using a walkman. Then turned to an arsenal of vintage and modern synths, including my own hand-crafted eurorack modules you know and love. The result is expansive, melodic, and dreamy lo-fi. Downtempo indie electro: pure ear-candy bliss for your listening pleasure. Textural layers, loose and free. Stream-of-consciousness, freestyle improvisation with ambient liquid flow. Tape hiss wow and flutter, down-sampling, clicks + pops, and little happy accidents. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. <a href="https://gstormelectro.bandcamp.com/album/superior-mirage">Download now</a>.G-STORMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12875694724894414824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331708782113928652.post-25257591272651944522023-04-18T08:43:00.002-07:002023-04-18T08:43:52.061-07:00Nord Electro 6D Can Do Vintage & Lofi Synth [Sounds Only Demo] |No Talking|<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/Y-3dYg0XSZI" frameborder="0"></iframe><br>
The Nord Electro 6D. It's not just for organ/piano/EP sounds. There's a plethora of sick vintage + esoteric + obscure + lofi synth sounds in the Synthesizer Engine. Yes, it's not actually synthesis but rather samples. But IMHO very very nice samples very well done. A lot of these samples aren't even assigned in the factory presets! It's up to you to load them up and give them a whirl. And there's even more to download into the synth on the Nord website. Today my playing is not really up to par for me, but hopefuly you'll still enjoy auditioning these tasty sounds.<br>

The anticipated new Pittsburgh Modular Taiga synth just rolled in the door. I knew I was going to be messing with it all day, so I figured may as well film it and share some curated noise with you. Patched some bass sounds and one clip making weird sound effects. Sounds really good, looking forward to using it in some new tracks.<br>
<br>
This video was not sponsored by Pittsburgh Modular, nor Cre8audio. Paid for this unit with my own money. After all, I'm just another synth enthusiast just like you :D<br>

A small amount of delay coming from Behringer DD400 for stereo widening only. Otherwise recorded direct to Tascam DR-05, no additional mastering or effects.

<b>JU60-VCF</b> is an analog 4-pole low pass filter adaptation of <i>Roland Juno-6/60</i> using a vintage IR3109 chip with a BA662 OTA chip in the resonance feedback loop. This topology was also used on the <i>Jupiter-8</i>, with a switch for tapping the 2-pole mode. Resonance will self-oscillate and produces a nice sine wave alone. <b>JU60-VCF</b> won’t turn your system into a polyphonic synth, but it has a classic sound at a sweet price. Time to get out your favorite stereo chorus modules and pedals!<br>
