Notes: A lovely creative approach to generative synthesis. Dual voices with triangle/square wave oscillators, shift register and envelopes can be patched via banana cables to create unique grooves and drones.

Supplier's Notes:
Double Knot v3

The Double Knot v3 is a small generative synthesizer with two voices and corresponding sequencers. This instrument has a simple architecture which is capable of a wide variety of sounds, including rhythms and drum patterns or textural and grating noise sounds. The interface is made up of knobs, switches, and banana plugs for patching. The two voices of this device each consist of a triangle/square wave oscillator, a shift register sequencer, an enveloper, and a voltage controlled amplifier. A clock sets the tempo of the shift registers.

The voices of the Double Knot are pre-wired, in a linear chain of functional blocks. The patch points are available to route modulations, influencing the simple linear voices. The game of this device is to investigate the relationships between the elements of the synth using the knobs, switches and patch-points.

FAQ

How many banana cables do I need? and what length?

8 or 10 cables around 12" long is a great start.

Can I patch this with my other synth?

Only what is safe for this synth. The banana ports of this device can handle max +/- 8V at all inputs and outputs assuming at least a 1k output impedance in the other device. The response range of the voltage inputs is ~1.2v - 8V (range of a TL07x powered by 9V).

Is this synth good by itself, or does it rely on other devices to be useful?

Some good sounds can be had using this device and a handful of banana cables.

Notes: An exact replica of the legendary Pearl SY-1 Syncussion drum machine, featuring expanded I/O board. Classic analogue sound with individual trigger inputs, two voices and six different oscillator modes per voice.

Supplier's Notes:
The Michigan Synth Works SY-1 Drum synth is a full size, exact replica of the Pearl SY-1 Syncussion. Every detail has been replicated from the original board layouts to the mechanical construction. The assembled version has been modernized to use current manufacturing processes while still using the original board layouts and all parts have been carefully chosen to match the behaviour of the original. Case, boards, and I/O Boards are all interchangeable with the original Pearl device.

Assembled versions come with the METAL back standard, the wood case is available as a DIY kit separately.

The Syncussion:

The Syncussion is a 2 voice drum synthesizer with two oscillators per voice and six different modes. Five modes mix and modulate the oscillators plus a noise channel. Each voice has controls for TUNE, DECAY, SWEEP amount, SWEEP Speed, Sweep up/off/down, LFO amount, and LFO speed, LFO Shape (Tri or Square), and sample and hold.

OSC Modes:

A: One oscillator sound, at this position the regular drum synthesizer sweep can be effected.

B. Sound of one oscillator adjusting the other oscillator frequency; produces a metallic sound.

C. Sound of a mix of two oscillator outputs; sound is similar to that of a vibraphone.

D. Sound of mix of two oscillator outputs; produces a low to high sweep and is done by hitting pad softly or hard; there is no connection to SWEEP SPEED and SWEEP RANGE

E. Sound of one oscillator adjusting the other oscillator frequency with a mix of noise; produces a sound similar to hitting thin metal.

F. Sound of only noise

Triggering:

The SY-1 is designed to be triggered via drum triggers which output a very low pulse signal. Modern 5V trigger signals (v-trig) can be used, how it i recommended experimenting with simple audio samples or more dynamic triggers. One of the more interesting features of the Syncussion is the dynamic response to the drum triggers and just sending a straight pulse which maxes out the trigger inputs does not do the device justice.

Tuning:

The original SY-1 uses a tune pedal to adjust the pitch of both oscillators while playing. This functionality has been retained in the original configuration but is of limited use without the pedal. The expanded version DOES have per voice CV control (1v/Oct) as well as the MIDI.

The inputs and outputs use 1/4" Stereo to 1/4" (3 included) to greatly expand the capabilities of the device. The Mod input is prewired to VCF freq but can easily be switched to decay via jumper on the voice cards.

The SY-1 ships with a metal base panel but the DIY wood case can be used instead. It is provided UNFINISHED and sold separately.

Whats included:

SY-1 Synthesiser

Universal Power adapter (100-240V, 12V DC out, Tip Positive)

Expanded I/O: 3x 1.5m TRS 1/4" Phone to 2x TS 1/4" Phone

Notes: An interesting creative approach to programming and performing with MIDI instruments, the NGEN allows you to generate 16 tracks based on algorithmic and generative principles. Create sequences, then tweak and manipulate in real time.

Supplier's Notes:
NGEN is a unique 16-track MIDI sequencer designed in Sao Paulo / Brazil that lets you combine multiple algorithmic / generative generators and MIDI FXs to sequence multiple hardware or software MIDI instruments.

It offers a completely new way of creating and performing music by abstracting the composition process. Instead of writing sequences from scratch, NGEN lets you quickly generate a new sequence for your drums, basslines, melodies, and chord progressions with a push of a button.

NGEN includes classic Spektro Audio generators (ACDGEN and Polyform), completely new algorithmic generators (Drumgen, Samba, Arper, MARP, Pop, Turing, Shuffler), and practical generators (Input Sequencer, MIDI Player, Thru).

Each generator features an unique algorithm that combines different composition techniques with randomness so each generated sequence is unique.

After generating a sequence, you can tweak it in real time using the parameters available for each of the generators. Take things even further by applying MIDI FXs such as Chord or Glitch to your sequences.

All tracks in NGEN follow the same key and scale so it's easier to get multiple sequences that work well with each other.

Quickly save and restore your creations using patterns and projects stored in the microSD card.

NGEN's design is primarily focused on live performance so it features a 1.3" OLED screen, a minimalistic and easy to read interface, mechanical switches (Gateron Green), shortcuts for accessing different features, per track Program Change selector and auto-variation, extensive MIDI CC implementation, and a Performance mode for controlling up to 4 parameters at the same time.

NGEN also includes a variety of tools to let you explore this world of algorithmic sequencing such as assignable CV outputs, a built-in MIDI monitor, different clock generators, and much more.

Notes: Super versatile granular filtering. Incoming sounds are granulated, then processed with eight contrasting filters. Hands-on and CV controls allow you to manipulate and modulate the output.

Supplier's Notes:
Sisyphus is built around a granular engine and a palette of eight original filters. Its granular system allows multiple grains to coexist within a single stereo audio stream, where they combine and interact with each other.

This filter is based on a comprehensive granular approach to sound: rather than a granular engine followed by a filter, it offers true integration of filtering into the grain-generation process. Each generated grain carries the filtering characteristics defined by the musician and will be combined with other grains according to evolving, configurable patterns.

These filters have been developed entirely from scratch in-house, without using typical filter libraries, so they each have their own unique color for you to explore!

Filters

Lowpass: Attenuates high frequencies above the cutoff frequency. 12 dB/oct slope.
Highpass: Attenuates low frequencies below the cutoff frequency. 12 dB/oct slope.
Bandpass: Lets through a band of frequencies around the cutoff frequency. 12 dB/oct slope.
Notch: Dips around the cutoff frequency while letting the rest of the spectrum pass through.
Peak: Boosts the band around the cutoff frequency while allowing the rest of the spectrum to pass without a drastic cut.
Comb: Creates a series of cancellations and resonances based on an internal delay and feedback.
Karplus (Karplus-Strong: Simulates the vibration of a string or looping resonance by combining a short delay, feedback, and damping.
Ladder: Inspired by Moog-style analogue filters, with four stages in cascade. Features a steep slope (24 dB/oct) and a distinctive resonance that can reach self-oscillation.

Filter Controls

Cutoff (Cutoff Frequency):Defines the filter's cutoff frequency or center frequency (depending on filter type), ranging from 10 Hz to 20 kHz.

Resonance: Emphasises frequencies near the cutoff frequency, from a slight bump up to the edge of self-oscillation.

Feedback: Re-injects part of the output back into the filter input.

Variations: Introduces an instability in the setting of the cutoff frequency, resonance, or feedback (depending on the selected filter), allowing for a more or less "organic" filter character.

Grain Controls: The incoming sound is continuously sampled and segmented into buffers. Each segment is analysed, filtered, and then extracted to become a grain. You can change the length of each grain, the interval between grains, the way grains follow one another, how they are arranged in relation to each other, and their density (number and influence).

Grain Length: Adjusts the length of the audio grains. The shorter the grains, the more the sound fragments into a "grained" granular texture; the longer the grains, the closer the result is to the original sound, but filtered and delayed. When multiple grains are played simultaneously, longer grains make echo effects more noticeable.

Grain Interval: Determines the time between the start of two successive grains (or the probability of automatic triggering).

Pattern: Grains are organized according to predefined, adjustable patterns. Several scenarios allow you to explore different ways grains can combine, from highly organized to more chaotic.

Density: Determines how many grains are played simultaneously and their intensity.

Variability: Sets the magnitude of the special effects specific to each pattern.

Transition: Defines the shape of the envelope applied to the grains as they link together.

Input and Output: Sisyphus works with two parallel channels that share the same settings. You can use it either in stereo mode or as two separate mono audio channels.

CV Inputs: Four CV inputs allow control of Sisyphus using other Eurorack modules. These inputs accept the standard Eurorack voltages (0 to 8 V).

The four basic parameters that can be controlled via CV are: Grain Length, Density, Cutoff, and Resonance.

However, you can configure the module differently using an external file on an SD card. In that case, any CV input can be assigned to any control, the input voltage range (from 1 to 8 V) can be set, LED brightness can be adjusted, and more.

Supplier's Notes:
Modbap Trinity 2.0 - Digital Drum Synth Array for Eurorack

Introducing Trinity 2.0, the updated and improved digital drum synth array eurorack module from Modbap Modular. This compact 20HP design packs innovative features, such as six different drum synth algorithms - including the newly added ORB and CLANG - as well as enhanced connectivity and expanded control options. Each of the three independent drum channels offers a wide range of sound design possibilities, with seven main controls for shaping tone, pitch, and texture, in addition to extensive CV and USB-C MIDI inputs.

Trinity 2.0 now incorporates advanced preset management, featuring 12 customizable presets (four per channel), a MIDI-based 12-pad finger drumming mode, and the capability to select presets via CV. Additionally, it retains its legacy features such as Cycle Modes (Round Robin and Random) and Stack Modes (layering two or three voices), providing infinite creative potential. With dimmable LEDs and USB-C connectivity, Trinity 2.0 caters to modular synth enthusiasts, hobbyists, beatmakers, and sound designers, offering a vast array of percussive textures and tonal possibilities. Compatible with both the original and refreshed hardware, Trinity 2.0 firmware elevates modular percussion to new levels of versatility. More than a module, Trinity is a powerful drum synth brain disguised as a Eurorack module.

Drum Synth Algorithms

BLOCK (Analogue Inspired): Drum synth building blocks featuring sine and triangle core. Great for traditional electronic drum creation.

HEAP (Additive): Additive drum synth with 8 partials. Great for fun natural sounds and pitched percussive sounds (i.e. bells, chimes, steel drums, and wood blocks etc.).

NEON (FM): FM drum synth engine. Great for high quality FM drums, clangourous metallic percussion and more.

ARCADE (Noise): Quirky noise generator synth, reminiscent of classic 1980's arcade games sounds - zaps, crashes, explosions etc. Great for claps, hats, even some vinyl noise approximations, and all sorts of fun percussive and degraded noises.

New with Trinity 2.0

Orb (Modal): Modal synthesis for resonant tonal percussion, ideal for creating rich, bell-like tones, tuned drums, and dynamic resonant textures. This algorithm excels in producing harmonic structures with natural decay, making it perfect for adding depth, warmth, and intricate timbres to rhythmic compositions.

Clang (Metallic FM / RM): Metallic FM/RM synthesis for bright, resonant cymbals and hi-hats, perfect for designing sharp, cutting high-frequency percussion. It is particularly suited for crafting hi-hats, cymbals, and other metallic percussion sounds with complex overtones and a crisp attack. It excels at producing metallic textures, chimes, and clangourous timbres with complex overtones.

Modes

Cycle Modes

The cycle modes can be enabled and disabled per channel.

'Round Robin' mode will switch between each drum synth type sequentially with each new trigger to the drum channel.

'Random' mode will generate a new random drum sound with each new trigger to the drum channel.

Stack Modes

The stack modes group the channels together allowing 2 or 3 drum channels to be triggered by the primary channel's trigger and v/oct inputs.

Stacked drums can be spread out similar to unison mode on a traditional synthesizer. Stack modes are inspired by the characteristics of chopped breaks where drums tend to overlap and fan out depending on the content of the chopped source material.

MIDI Finger Drumming Mode

MIDI Finger Drumming Mode allows control of drum voices and presets using an external MIDI pad controller connected via USB-C. It allows for triggering drum sounds with assigned MIDI notes via drum pads or keyboard controller. This mode enhances real-time performance and integrates seamlessly into MIDI-based music setups for dynamic, hands-on beatmaking and sound design.

This module features six drum algorithms utilizing various synthesis methods:

BLOCK: Classic drum synth using subtractive synthesis
HEAP: Additive drum synthesis with rich partials
NEON: Frequency modulation (FM) drum synth
ARCADE: Noise-based synthesis inspired by retro gaming sounds
ORB: Modal synthesis for resonant tonal percussion
CLANG: Metallic FM/RM synthesis for bright, resonant cymbals, hi-hats, and metallic percussion

Notes: A super impressive offering from Xaoc, the Samarkanda is a quad delay module designed for hands-on, real-time performance. Dial in everything from loops to stereo delays, resonators, modulation effects and much more.

Supplier's Notes:
Xaoc Devices Samarkanda is a digital quad delay module with extensive patching capabilities and a lot of flexibility for signal mangling. It can be used as four entirely independent delays, a dual stereo delay, a complex/multi-tap or multi-channel delay, a quad/polyphonic resonator, dual chorus, dual flanger, reverb, looper (with sound on sound!), and granulator, or any combination of those. You can reverse the delayed signal, hold it, squeeze and stretch it beyond all recognition and still go back to the original piece of audio captured in the buffer! The internal lossless normalization (the signal doesn't leave the digital domain) combined with top-notch components (including 24-bit AKM converters and 32-bit internal processing) are responsible for high sound quality. Samarkanda has been conceived in the truly modular spirit. Not only can you control almost all its features remotely with CV/gates, but the external feedback path gives you the opportunity to process the delayed signal with other modules.

Samarkanda offers a wide range of delay times beginning at a mere 0.5ms and reaching up to 15 seconds per channel. That means that, by stacking its four channels, you can achieve up to one minute delay! There are two operating modes switchable individually for each channel. Analogue delivers pitch changes that resemble classic analogue tape and BBD delays. When you combine it with the looping Hold function, you can play Samarkanda with any 1V/octave CV source. By using the Sync function you can even loop single wave cycles. The Digital mode gives you a granular buffer-scrubbing effect (no pitch change) across the whole delay time range. You can seamlessly switch back and forth between modes without losing any information. You can use Samarkanda for multiple tasks at the same time - from four independent delay lines through any combination of channels processing the same signal up to a quad behemoth. You can also use the linking feature for ease of operation (the first channel in the chain acts as the main control source for the others).

As most settings operate on a per-channel basis, you can freely combine different features (such as analog/digital behaviour, delay time range, reverse and hold functions, etc.) in a configuration of your choosing. You can synchronize each of its channels separately to a different source, either via the Sync input, or by using the tap-tempo functionality (with multiplication and division galore). Should you ever get lost, the Purge button comes in handy when/if things start to spiral out of control!

Notes: Based on technology from the award-winning LVX and MercuryX pedals, the Enzo X is a superbly powerful six-voice modular synth, with polyphonic pitch detection and no special pickup needed on your guitar.

Supplier's Notes:
Combining 5 synth modes, Enzo X incorporates each of these into a modular system UI/architecture from both the award-winning LVX and MercuryX pedals.

In addition to being a 6-voice poly synth, Enzo X includes 3 reverbs which are adapted from Mercury X (Prism algorithm), 5 Drives (including Bitcrush), a full stereo 2.5 second Delay and 5 modulation types.

To make this complex system immediately intuitive to navigate, Meris again leveraged the simple and easy to use UI first developed for LVX.
