Borderlands Granular – Spicing up a pad sound with filter automation
Background video description:
I hadn’t used this cool feature of Borderlands Granular before, so I thought I’d share a little demo. All the grain cloud parameters can be automated using the motion recorder.
I’m just doing traditional synth filter sweeps here, but you can do some pretty wild stuff by motion recording other parameters.
All sounds from custom Animoog guitar timbres – please see my other videos for more details on that malarkey.
Reverb added in ToneStack using ZoneVerb plate setting with Borderlands Granular running as an IAA instrument.
Recorded with QuickTime, no additional processing.
The pad sound and chord change is from the first “x2” video – please check it out:

Doepfer brings vintage machines and new Euroracks to NAMM
Eurorack modular creator Doepfer will be introducing ‘Vintage Versions’ of their A-100 modular synth line and they will also introduce several new modules.
A-110-3 is a Thru Zero VCO with triangle core. The term “Thru-Zero” means that even “negative” frequencies are generated. But this a bit a misleading term as negative frequencies do not really exist. “Negative” means in this connection simply that the triangle wave will stop when the linear control voltage reaches 0V and continue with the opposite direction as the linear control voltage becomes negative and vice versa.
A-110-4 is a Trapezoid Thru Zero Quadrature VCO. The module is based on an idea by Donald Tillman from 2003 but has been revised for the use of modern electronic circuits (no OTAs/CA3280). Because of it’s unique trapezoid core it’s totally different compared to other VCOs. But the trapezoid core is not the only specialty: it is also a quadrature VCO and features linear thru zero frequency modulation.
Module A-121 is a voltage-controlled multi-mode filter with a cut-off slope of -12 dB / octave. Four simultaneous outputs are available, each with different characteristics: low-pass, band-pass, high-pass and notch (or band reject). The cut-off frequency determines the point at which the respective filter effects appear. The frequency can be adjusted manually, or by voltage control (Filter modulation, for instance by an LFO or ADSR). Two CV inputs are available, whose control voltages are summed. Resonance (Emphasis or Q ) can be adjusted manually, or by voltage control, right up to self-oscillation, in which case it will behave like a sine wave oscillator.
Module A-168-1 is a pulsewidth modulation generator (PWM Module). It derives a rectangle signal with adjustable pulsewidth from an external triangle, sawtooth or sine wave. The external signal can be an LFO, VCO or any other signal with falling/rising slopes (e.g. ADSR). In addition the pulsewidth can be modulated by a CV signal (e.g. LFO or ADSR). The typical application is the generation of a rectangle signal with PWM from VCOs or LFOs which do not yet have this feature (e.g. A-110-4, A-145, A-147-2, A-143-4, A-143-9).
Note: The colorful alternate faceplates are only a design study, made with a self adhesive foil printed by a color laser printer. There are no plans to offer these versions of the modules commercially. But Doepfer plans to offer the panel designs as downloadable designs that owners can print. Doepfer has also previously introduced colorful knob options.

Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument)
The ‘Mother’ of all samplers. The technology that today is used world wide to compose sampled sounds started with the The Fairlight CMI. Featured on the program ‘This Week’ from ABC-TV Australia (1980) and is demonstrated by one of the designers Pete Vogel and composer Michael Carlos playing his composition of the theme for TV series “Timewarp”.
Modular beast in action – Footprints in the Snow
Claude Debussy’s classic “Des pas sur la neige”. Made with a patch up of the large format and Euro rack format modular synthesizer. Recorded in real-time to a stereo track in Cubase with Valhalla Shimmer added in places for reverb.
