Stepper connected – on Modular Synth
An improvisation inspired by the era of accustic modems, when FidoNet was more affordable than internet. And printers and floppys were using stepper motors that we made music with.
The main arp voice is steadily modulated by random envelopes, and gates and notes are also triggered with probabilities from Black Sequencer.
Typhoon gets triggered from time to time and freezes into an interesting long spectral reverb cloud….

Eurorack – Bloom v1
Bloom v1 – on Modular Synth
My first try creating a melody with Qu-Bit’s Bloom fractal sequencer.
I tried to let it sound a bit underwater bubble like, with some whale like noises in between.
Almost everything is modulating everything else, hard to tame….

Beautifying my Eurorack
Befaco Bananuts – beautiful color anodized aluminum nuts
since I’m a visual guy everything has to be color coded in my rack,
who wants to learn every jack’s function or read fancy fonts when you simply see which color does what
My color coding:
Midi/Clock – Purple
Audio – Blue/Red
CV – Silver
V/Oct – Yellow
Trigger – Green
Modulation – Black
After Later Audio Popple
a clone of Mutable Instruments Ripples V1, multimode filter
Another Behringer Eurorack Go case
same problem, too many modules and still not enough power 😀
After Later Audio SHTH
a sample and hold, and track and hold module in 2HP
Time to save more money, another module via Reverb
This time, the Klavis Quadigy quad programable envelope generator
A new 2nd hand eurorack module from Reverb
The QU-Bit Electronix Bloom fractal sequencer.
Eurorack – Endorphines Cockpit Firmware Update video
Since a lot of people are asking in forums how to update firmware on STM devices like the Endorphines Cockpit, I decided to make a few slides and record this process so people can follow easily.
Just mute if you don’t like the background track.
I was just doing a quick 3min patch with my Ochd and Quasar to see if all went fine.
Thanks to Endorphin.es for continously improving their firmware releases.
Sequencer – Dnipro Metamorph
Voice – Behringer Brains
Modulation – Instruo Ochd
FX – Qu-Bit Nautilus, Neuzeit Instruments Quasar
Mix – Endorphines Cockpit
Eurorack update
another two modules added to my Eurorack
Doepfer A-130-8 a linear 8 channel VCA
DivKid Ochd
the ultimate modulation source
Some more tiny upgrades to Eurorack
Doepfer A-160-2 Clock Divider II Vintage Edition
I gave up on using my self made clock divider, as this module is so much more capable, especially for prime divisions
Synthrotek MIX
more passive mixing needs, so I bought two of them
Neuzeit Instruments WarpEx Expander
a Midi extension for the Warp module to control the 4 voices individually
Again eurorack
sorry for so many eurorack posts, at work I’m pretty busy lately so I do not have much time for any other hobbies than eurorack currently
My latest modules are:
Joranalougue Audio Design Filter 8
a static filterbank which provides 8 outputs at once,
it can also be used in low frequency mode to provide 45 degrees phase shifted control voltage
Klavis Twin Waves II
a fantastic dual VCO with tons of waveforms and embedded quantization (once tuned)
Eurorack – She was my queen
She was my queen – on Modular Synth
This song is my own creation.
The rap part is from the royalty free Apple Vocal Loops.
Don’t be confused by the amount of patch cables and modules, there’s simply a second song patched as well.
