ASMOC2019 (arches) + modulör114 + t-generator + t-spectrum + t-harmonic (new modules!!)

Published on Aug 16, 2019 Davide Mancini

"This is (more or less) the performance I did at this year’s ASMOC at Acusmatiq 2019.
The sound, sequences and wiggling comes all from the rig you see. One voice comes from the modulör (that also do the fx and the mixing of every other sources), two comes from the t-generator VCO (at the end passing through the t-spectrum processor) and the t-harmonic, 10 bands harmonic vco. The SD1 simpledrum supplies the percussive tones.
Enjoy."

(arches) stepsequencer modes playing the t-harmonic harmonic oscillator

Published on Aug 16, 2019 Davide Mancini

"A sequence from the stepsequencer plays the t-harmonic oscillator. T-harmonic self modulates the number of harmonics, tilt and odd/even parameters. (arches) stepseq is quite articulate, in this video you may observe many of its capabilities. At the end I also use the transpose function."

New Soundmachines SY1synesthesia at Meet The Knobbers

Published on May 26, 2013 Davide Mancini·16 videos

"We displayed the new module (along with many others!!!) at "Meet The Knobbers" in Siena. Also in this video Andrea Pedra (Head of the organization!) playing with Gattobus modular :)

You can associate up to 5 CV input with 5 DMX channel. In this case you see just an LFO going into the 'dimmer' channel of an DMX RGB fixture, but no one stops you from controlling a moving head, a strobo, a smoke generator, a.... whateveryouwant as long as it has DMX capability. The final module will have a switch and a very simple serial interface to program the correspondance between CV channel and DMX channel!"

An Interview with Davide Mancini of soundmachines

via Davide Mancini on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge. You'll find the full interview on synthemodulaire (English towards the bottom).

On the creation of soundmachines:

"Hi Davide, could you tell us a few words about the genesis of Soundmachines and the link with SPES ?

Hi Wilfried, thank you very much for the opportunity to tell our story and aspirations!
In 2009 I started playing with modular synthesizers, and in my spare time at home I interfaced ad Arduino to a Babblebot chip and made it into a module.
I was just enjoying myself doing some videos on YT and suddenly several people started asking me if the module would be put on the market, somehow.
I had those requests on the backburner for some years but never forget about it! In the meantime I was more and more involved in the modular ‘world’ and, as many of us, loosing a lot of nighttime surfing Matrixsynth, Muff Wiggler and other bad places..
in 2012 I started to think about entering the market from the inside of my company, SPES.
I am the chief innovation officer at SPES, an 80 people research and development (and production management) company based in central Italy. We work on many stuff including household appliances, fitness equipment, motor control, industrial automation, domotics, wearable systems, sensors and plant remote management all over Europe.
I took some time to make a rough business plan and I presented it to the co-founders of the company and we decided to put resources and money in this ‘adventure’. For our company, that tipically works as an OEM, this was big news and many new things to approach! The project was innovative in many ways: a product imagined, developed and built integrally by our own, a direct relationship to the final users, an e-commerce site, a global market etc…
Obviously the most part of the company was already there, purchasing, administration, logistics and obvioulsy design, but many new things have been addressed in the last months…. It was exciting and challenging!!!
So, soundmachines was born as a brand of SPES, and we started operations at the end of July 2013. We are VERY young !!"

Sasame Yuki - A modular improvisation on the MODULOR114 synthesizer.

Published on Dec 19, 2016 Davide Mancini

"A short improvisation on my MODULOR114 synth based on a quantizer generated arpeggio. The VCO2 in LFO mode enters the S&H and, through an attenuator and the quantizer, determines the pitch of the VCO1. The clock drives the S&H and the GATE of the envelope. The starting sound is a rectangular wave that gets modulated (you can hear it when I start to turn teh first knob) on the PWM by the envelope. Soon I substitute the squarewave with the triangular, shortening the attack and finally adding resonance for a more percussive quality of the sound. Toward the end everything gets slowed down, the square returns and the echo gets intrusive...
A small nod to the Master Jun'ichiro Tanizaki."

"Seconda parte dell'esplorazione/tutorial in lingua italiana. Dopo aver raccontato la struttura e le caratteristiche base dei moduli nella prima puntata, realizziamo una patch più complessa che permetta di dimostrare alcune delle caratteristiche più interessanti di questo synth modulare."
