Raw Voltage – new Maschine Expansion featuring sounds of a huge modular synthesizer system
Native Instruments today introduced Raw Voltage – a new Maschine Expansion which features the sound of a huge modular synthesizer system. Raw Voltage contains kits, instruments and patterns based on the organic sound characteristics of analog synthesis.
Here are all the details from NI:
Sampled from a one-of-a-kind analog modular system, RAW VOLTAGE has a wide sonic scope, inspired in part by experimental and avant-garde electronica. The drum and percussion sounds are punchy, loud and direct, while the sampled basses, leads, pads and soundscapes are rich in detail and analog atmosphere.
The expansion also includes 140 expertly-programmed patterns, providing a wide selection of styles from broken, jagged rhythms to steady, flowing grooves.
Raw Voltage is based on a unique custom modular system used and created by Norwegian synthesist Roger Grønberg (Frodebeats). The system includes modules from Modcan, MOTM, Oakley, CGS, STG, Encore, Buchla plus many unique custom and DIY modules, as well as analog synthesizers like Arp Odyssey/2600 and Korg MiniKorg 700s.
A compact version of Raw Voltage is also available for iMaschine for iPhone.
Raw Voltage is available at the NI Online Shop for $59/49 EUR. For owners of iMASCHINE, the compact version of Raw Voltage is available via in-app purchase for $0.99/0,79 EUR.

The duo Dupont has since their debut in 1998 moved from classic EBM to darker electronica. As one of the initiators of the second old school EBM wave they have toured Europe several times and also supported Covenant in the early years of the millennium. Dupont has become known as a dynamic live act now with a broader audience than ever.
The latest album “Entering the ice age” has received excellent reviews and reached top positions at the alternative charts as for example no. 1 on GEWC in Germany.
“I’m afraid the audio-input on the camera got overloaded a few times during but I think it sounds ok.”
Voltage – modular synth video
Just like modular synthesizers, people connect with each other in order to achieve diverse objectives. In Voltage, robots, half-human and half-synthesizer, powered by a huge amount of energy, connect to each other in an electric and chaotic trance.

TC-11 – tutorial on sequencer notes and scales
This tutorial looks at the basics of sequencer programming in TC-11. Starting with a non-pitched patch, we insert a sequencer to quantize the frequency to note values. Two approaches are taken: building a specific scale, and using the Add parameter to quickly fly through a note scale.
TC-11 is a programmable modular synthesizer on the iPad, controlled by multi-touch and device motion controllers. All synthesis parameters can be controlled by these two sources, which allows the user to create countless unique patch configurations.
TC-11 does not use on-screen objects like knobs or buttons for synthesis control. Instead, your touches are the controllers. Distances, angles, rotation, speeds, and timings created by the touches are used to push synthesis parameters in real-time. TC-11 opens up every inch of the screen for performance. Plus, the iPad’s device motion capabilities can be used as controllers. The accelerometer, gyroscope and compass can be assigned to synthesis parameters to turn your iPad into a expressive motion-controlled synth.

Demo time: Dual AtomoSynth Koe modular
http://www.atomosynth.com/
Just a quick demo using the AtomoSynth dual Koe modular for the acid bass and lead, a bit of reverb and delay added with a lexicon, drums from the motif, all sequenced by midi with Cubase.
Kilpatrick Format Modular Synth
Here’s a quick overview of the Kilpatrick Format Modular Synth touching on some of the features of modules K1, K2, K3, K4 and K5. The system shown in the video is the original prototype system running in the Kilpatrick Audio studio.

Modular synthesizers/Modcan: METAMORPHIC ~backhalf~
The second half of Tangerine dream’s Through Metamorphic Rocks.
performed entirely on the modcan a system.
3 parts patched and performed in real-time; no overdubs or external processing involved.
-patch 1:
VCDO noise into synthacon filter and phase/timbremod then 4vca. run by touch sequencer channel 1 GATE output
-patch 2:
3vco & anti-oscillator into 48 dB lowpass filter, then 4vca. run by touch sequencer channel 2 CV&GATE output
-patch3:
ZerOscillator saw out and pulse(to /2 divider for sub-octave) to mix6, then to megaohm delta filter. triggered by Programmer
Gates trigger the 04 EG, and quad EG which moves the 4VCA and both filters independently
mix out from 4VCA to DDL 59a w/ Dual FS in feedback loop
out to anything module then to ZED R16 interface
Echophon vs. Bill Monroe
Signal path is Discman –> A-119 –> Echophon
A-119 Gate out –> Echophon Freeze in
Echo time and feedback, as well as pitch shifting frequency and depth, are played by hand.
“Make Noise, a company whose logo and beautiful faceplates you may recognize from basically every synth video I’ve made, was nice enough to send me their new pitch shifting echo module– the Echophon— a couple weeks before it hits the shops, to try out and film something with. “
the echophon is a collaboration between dsp software pioneer tom erbe (soundhack) and modular synth nerd tony rolando (make noise). the module utilizes erbe’s gorgeous algorithms on hardware developed by make noise. the echophon flips the script on the 20 year trend of software synthesis emulating classic analog hardware putting the powers of a true dsp coding genius into the analog modular synthesizer.
description: pitch shifting echo with smooth time modulation, tempo sync, saturating feedback and a unique pitch shifting algorithm inspired by the springer tempophon, lovingly engineered by dsp guru tom erbe (soundhack).
features:
shift pitch of signal +/- 2 octaves
fractional delay with exponential control of delay time -maximum delay time 1.7 seconds, minimum delay time 7 ms
tempo input allows synchronization of echoes to multiple or division of a master clock
two independent internal digital feedback paths (loop 1 and loop 2)
external analog feedback path for filtered or processed echoes
freeze button/ gate input allows for hold, stutter and sampling techniques
24 bit adc/dac, 32bit processing, 16bit delay storage operating at 40khz
vactrol based mix circuit for smooth blending of dry and wet signals
all analog dry signal path
voltage control over all parameters.
