I first met Jan from Native Instruments back when he built me a mk1 expanded Turing Machine, then again at Superbooth 2016 and we've been working on promoting Reaktor Blocks alongside a eurorack set up. The first video is a jam with Blocks both sending out audio and CV through the Expert Sleepers ES-3 (which was equally impressive for integration). These are controlling some basic drum triggering from Mutable Instruments Peaks and the star of the show ... the AJH Synth MiniMod voice. The second video goes in depth both controlling and expanding a eurorack voice using a range of modulation and the pitch CV out block. Following videos will look at controlling drum modules with rhythm sequencing and also using MIDI as an output.
MODULAR PODCAST
To round off 2016 Modular Podcast picked (per person) a module of the year. This was a most used or most loved module of the year as opposed to something that actually was released in 2016. We thought this was a good way to round up some favourites and shine a light on the things we've used the most through the year. We had James Cigler join us as well as Joe Computo from Voltage Control Lab. Check out the video HERE and also the patch examples from Ben, Greg, Matthew, James and Joe in this playlist.
