Ahead of Superbooth 2025, scheduled for May 8-10 at the FEZ-Berlin, Make Noise has introduced Jumbler, a six by six channel analog signal combiner and distributor for the New Universal Synthesizer System (NUSS) or any Eurorack modular synthesizer.
Jumble is one of the NUSS concepts where the routings of a patch could be re-configured, or jumbled, instantly via voltage control to produce variations on a theme.
Jumbler gives you two-parameter access to the rearrangement of both origins and destinations for up to six modular signals. One to six inputs are routed to one to six outputs, in an order determined by the Rotate control, and combination determined by the Radiate control. Unlike a simple switch module, Jumbler’s analog VCA-based design is specially geared for smooth transitions and hybrid signals.
Jumbler can be used for hybrid control voltage mashing, complex waveform mixing, on-the-fly effects re-routing, gate and clock re-combinations and more.
Features:
Mix and Match up to six signals for up to six destinations
Use as a voltage controlled mixer or continuously crossfading switch
Dynamically blend waveforms from a single or multiple oscillators
Ahead of Superbooth 2025, scheduled for May 8-10 at the FEZ-Berlin, Doepfer– the creator of the Eurorack standard – has announced six new modules.
The new modules include:
A-119-2 Dual Input/Amplifier – The module contains two amplifiers with separately adjustable amplification levels. Each channel is equipped with an overload display. The module can be used also for stereo signals, e.g. the stereo output of a smartphone.
A-145-2 Slim LFO – this is a compact version of their existing LFO module.
A-149-3 Fluctuating Random Voltages – Module A-149-3 is based on the “Fluctuating Random Voltages” by Buchla. Compared to the historic original, a lot of functions have been added. For example, the user has access to virtually all internal signals (e.g. Noisy Triangle or S&H) and there are a lot of adjustable parameters which were fixed in the original.
A-155-2 Miniature Ratcheting Analog Sequencer – Module A-155-2 is a compact analog sequencer with a lot of features. The sequence length is 8 steps. Each step has available a control for the adjustment of the control voltage for this step and an illuminated momentary switch (button). The buttons are used in the standard running mode to turn on/off the gate of the step in question. In combination with other controls at the bottom of the front panel, the buttons are used for additional functions: depending on the position of the Program toggle switch the button Function is used to program the length of the sequence (switch position Limit), the running direction (switch position Direct.) or to call up the preset management (switch position Preset) .
A-188-9 High Speed VCO – Module A-188-9 is a so-called high-speed VCO that tracks to the 1V/oct scale in the frequency range of about 15kHz … 500 kHz. The main application is the exact drive of BBD modules (A-188-1/2) to generate sounds realized by means of the so-called Karplus-Strong synthesis. The module can be used also as an audio VCO, as it features the standard waveforms sawtooth, triangle and rectangle with adjustable pulse width.
A-198-2 Ribbon Controller II – this is an enhanced version of their simple Trautonium/Ribbon Controller module A-198-1.
Details on the new modules are available at the Doepfer site.
Ahead of Superbooth 2025, scheduled for May 8-10 at the FEZ-Berlin, Eternal Research shared this preview for the Demon Box, an instrument that lets you explore the hidden world of electromagnetic frequencies.
With the Demon Box, you can use any object emitting electromagnetic waves to create unique sounds.
Here’s another demo of the Demon Box:
Development of the Demon Box was funded via a Kickstarter campaign. The Demon Box is available to pre-order via the campaign for $699.
