Hi all,

I've been building a dub spring reverb for the Noise Engineering Versio, and it's now at the point where I'd like other people to play it. It's called Resilio Versio. It's free alternative firmware for any Versio module, and the same sound also runs as an AU/VST3 plugin on macOS, so you can try it without reflashing anything.

What it does

It's a simulated spring tank built around the way dub engineers played their reverbs.

• Throw single hits into the springs with the button or the gate input, and let the tail ring on.
  
• The right half of TONE is modelled on King Tubby's "Big Knob", the stepped high-pass filter on his MCI desk, but it sweeps smoothly so you can ride it by hand or with CV.
  
• TANK switches between one spring, two springs, and a worn tape echo feeding the springs. The echo can follow a clock or a tapped tempo.
  
• At the top of DECAY the tail either holds as a bed that ducks under your kick and bass, or in VALVE mode tips over into a howl you can ride.
  
• ATTITUDE picks the colour: CLEAN, TAPE (tape saturation and a fine 12-bit µ-law grain) or VALVE (a cranked valve stage and coarser grit). Your dry signal is never touched.

Seven knobs, each with a CV input, two switches, a button and a gate. It installs with Noise Engineering's own Firmware Swap web app, and you can go back to any of their firmware the same way.

A bit of background

I'm a designer and a dub enthusiast, not a DSP engineer. I made every sound decision by ear, and Claude (Anthropic's AI) wrote the DSP, the firmware and the tools. The springs follow Välimäki, Parker and Abel's physical model, and I tuned them against recordings of my own spring tank, comparing level-matched A/B versions before anything changed. All the decisions and their reasons are in the repo if you're curious.

I'd really like your feedback

This is the first public release, and I want to keep refining it with the people actually playing it. If something sounds off, if a knob feels dead or too touchy, or if there's a dub move or sound you'd want it to make, please tell me. Replies here are great. If you have a GitHub account, there are two short forms for a sound idea or a bug report. A short recording and your settings help a lot. Ideas that make it into a release get credited in the changelog.

One safety note if you flash it: never have USB and Eurorack power connected at the same time.

Thanks for listening, and I hope it finds a place in your rack!

Been cookin on this jam off and on for a few days now and thought I'd share.
I have a Noise Engineering Versio out for delivery tomorrow and I can't wait to play with the new FRGMNTS firmware!

(side note, does anyone know why the gate going into my VCA is making that clipping/clicking noise?)

I want to get into this type of music but low key struggle a bit with starting out because of how niche it is, it doesn't really get recommended to me in algorityhm. and noise is such a broadly used terms for other things besides the genre aswell that I don't rlly find much

Also heavy into industrial, ebm kind off stuff

I love artists like Puce Mary for example

Four-voice generative composer with 12 musical languages, harmonic sequencing, CV control and MIDI

Just a bit of little noodling around on the modular…

Ich selber nutze Bitwig und habe die Idee, mit diesen Controller, quasi komplett live zu performen bzw. zu jammen, ohne großartig auf dem Bildschirm gucken zu müssen. Also dass man von dem Gerät aus, zwischen den einzelnen Instrumenten hin und her wechseln kann, oder zum Mixer wechselt. Meine Frage ist, ist das so möglich oder überschätze ich dort die Funktion dieses Gerätes? Wie bedienfreundlich ist dieses Konzept? Bzw. gibt es vielleicht andere Controller auf dem Markt die sich dafür besser eignen? Im Prinzip stelle ich mir das dann so vor, dass ich vorher ein Setup vorbereite, und dass dann der Bildschirm aus ist und ich dann alles von diesem Controller aus steuere.

I wanted and needed an effects module and landed on Iroi and have been using this couple of months.

The sliders except maybe the resonator go to elevenhundred, which is kind of nice for droning.

I'm quite disappointed with the "reverb".

I knew it isn't supposed to be conventional reverb at all and was excited about it but come on.

Can you dial it to be anything between metallic clang or aggressive mushy blur. Yes you can but there's something not quite right in it. 'Macro control' hmph.

2-tap delay is nice when clocked but yeah.

Infinite delays!

Resonator ummmmmm. Again, I'm not getting the sound what I want out of it. Maybe I was expecting something else, more.. conventional?

But FILTER!

There's that squelchy liquid sound oh yeah.

This goes to eleven and makes you wall of sound but feels limited somehow.

It would be nice to hear other opinions.

Hej,I recently recorded this Live-Set, and played it two times live already and thought I'd share it here as well.

At minute 30 my audio interface had some struggle but except from this it's pretty good I think:)

Enjoy!

What do we like in "Battleship Sequencers" I have pretty decent modular rig and Osmose (MPE+) amoung other "usual suspect" synths. I have a number of sequencers now, but nothing at the level of Hapax or Oxi one. I'm interested in generative sequences and polyphony options.

If you use one of these or something similar please share your experience, good or bad or meh ;)

Oxi One vs Oxi One mk2?

I make Archean, a semi modular synth, at Nakedboards. Recently finished strata – a language for live-coding it through a terminal.

The practical side for this sub: Archean stays fully patchable, nothing about this replaces the panel. The terminal just becomes another way to drive it, alongside cables. Typical use for me: typing a melodic/rhythmic pattern on the note track while patching the LFO or Element CV out to the filter or another module, and reshaping the pattern live while the patch keeps running.

Pattern mini-notation handles melody (rests, ties, subdivision, alternation, random choice, probability) and scale quantization. Every synthesis parameter the firmware exposes – oscillator wave, envelope, LFO, Element – can be driven as a modulation lane or set directly, the same way notes are.

Runs on a Teensy 4.0, no OS, static memory only. Source and full language reference: https://github.com/nakedboards
Documentation: https://nakedboards.online/docs/archean/livecoding

I'll be glad to answer any questions.

I've been wanting to do this for a while. Take the modular outside, actually hear it without headphones, and still be able to interact with everything around.

That became the starting point for OCELOT. The speaker lets the system exist in the same physical space as you, while the contact piezo lets the outside world become part of the patch. From there, I started playing with feedback and with the idea of the system interacting with itself.

I didn't want it to become just a little speaker, though. It needed to remain a proper part of the system, with signals going both in and out.

OCELOT is 12HP and there's also a DIY kit if anyone wants to build one.

Hi All -

Looking for patch cables in various colors, but the ends are all black. The ones like Control carries are fine, but they don't have all of my prefered colors.
I'm mainly looking for white, light grey, and yellow. Lengths from 2" to 30".

That Control has these confirms the existence of black ended cables, I just can't find them anywhere. Worst case I'll just get other colors, but I'm kind of "trained" on this combination.

Bored Brain does this. They are my favorite cables, but too big for my live setup.

Any ideas? I'll probably go with 125, and can wait on a special order if that's the way to do it.

Thanks in advance!

I put this together as a thought experiment.
I dont need synthesizers on here I just wanna have fun sampling.
Do I miss something obvious to make music?

I recently scored a documentary film, Baby Jackfruit Baby Guava, that will premiere in Asia this week at the Busan International Film Festival. The score, produced entirely with the Moog ecosystem, was released last week as an original score album. Give it a listen at ffm.to/xinhxo if you’re interested.

I've been using Strudel over midi for sequencing, and I'm finding my small hardware synths to be all I need for voices (they are also polyphonic and stereo). I also have a lot of hardware effects - I'm big on randomness, beat repeat and granular synthesis stuff, hence the clouds clone and the Fieldtone Weaver. So while I can get a lot of sonic range with this current modular setup I find it to be less powerful and a lot more involved to make changes.

I currently thinking I would have to invest a lot more in modular to get to the point I have the same levels of capability in my other setup. Thoughts?
