Crum Drum is a new DIY 4-voice drum machine. with built in randomization and probability.

Rhythms can be created and manipulated using the internal random sequencer or externally via MIDI USB. Press the beat button to generate new rhythms, adjust the probability to create continuous variations, and increase the randomness to modulate the sound of your beats! Generated sequences can also be sent out via MIDI, and Crum Drum can also sync via analog clock in and out.

The 4 – voices of Crum Drum are Kick, Snare, HiHat and Bass (FM). There are 8 parameters knobs to sculpt the character of each voice, allowing for wide variety of tones. It is easy to create varied and organic sequences by adding modulation via the Probability and Randomness controls. Probability sets the chance that the selected voice will play per step of the sequence, while randomness increases the parameter modulation for each voice. The higher the randomness, the more each instrument parameter is modulated per step.

The INST knob is used to select which voice is active for editing as indicated by the four LEDs. All instrument parameters can be edited independently per voice, and when the INST knob is turned all the way to the left, all LEDs will light up and it’s possible to control all four voices simultaneously.

The BPM knob sets the tempo of the internal sequencer, and becomes a clock divider if an external clock is being used (MIDI or analog). The Step switch sets the length of the internal sequence between 16, 32 or 28 steps.

Press the beat button to generate new rhythms – when the Beat button is pressed it will generate a new sequence for the current step of the currently selected voice. To generate an entirely new sequence, select all voices & press down the button for the duration of the entire sequence length.

In addition, Crum Drum features four global effects: Overdrive, Reverb, Delay and Swing. The delay-time is tempo synced and the subdivided differently dependent on the BPM.

Power is provided via micro usb cable (not included).

Features:

• 4 instruments: Kick, Snare, HiHat, Bass
• 8 sound parameters per instrument
• Overdrive, Reverb, Delay & Swing
• Send & Recieve Analog & Midi clock
• Send & Receive Midi sequencing
• Randomized and probability based sequencing

Crum Drum is available now for £165.83 (Excl. VAT).

Behringer today shared a sneak preview of a new frankensynth, the BX700, that takes parts from classic analog and digital synths alike, adds a drum machine and remixes it all into a minisynth groovebox.

BX700 is also much more original than their straight-ahead knockoff designs.

Behringer describes the BX700 as “a DX7 on steroids, as it has an authentic CS-80 analog filter, a drum machine built in and a few other cool features.”

The BX700 appears to take a 6-operator FM synth engine, based on the Yamaha DX7, and run the output through an analog filter based on the Yamaha CX-80. This is similar to what Arturia did with the Minifreak, combining a polyphonic digital synth engine with a single analog filter, used more as a global effect than as a core part of the synth engine.

The Behringer BX700 prototype also features mute buttons for Synth, Bass, and three Drum parts, so it’s clear that the instrument has groovebox features that will let you sequence 5 parts.

Details on the Behringer BX700 synthesizer are still to come. In the meantime, check it out and share your thoughts in the comments!

Electronic Music Works (EMW) shared this preview of the new T-Sequencer, a Eurorack module that combines Turing Machine algorithmic sequencing and quantizer features.

The original Music Thing Modular’s Turing Machine is a module that creates clocked stepped randomly changing control voltages that can be locked into loops of repeating notes. By combining this with a quantizer, it can create random riffs that often sound very musical.

What EMW say about the T-Sequencer:

“Introducing the T-Sequencer module — a versatile and inspiring tool designed to ignite your musical imagination and push the boundaries of sonic exploration.

The Turing is more than just a traditional sequencer; it’s a dynamic hub for unleashing your creativity and crafting intricate musical patterns.

With its intuitive interface and innovative features, this module empowers you to create captivating sequences that evolve and surprise with every note.”

EMW T-Sequencer is available now for $186.
