Loopop Cube: Loop Salad Portable・るぷぷキューブ ルプさらだ ぽ~たぶる

The most popular Eurorack module is Make Noise's MATHS, which is sometimes described as an analog computer. Some years ago, synth YouTuber loopop did a video about the module, starting by breaking down the basic functions into three parts: attenuverting, mixing, and slew rate limiting. Attenuverting is a portmanteau of "attenuating" — turning down — and "inverting"; mixing combines signals by adding them together; slew rate limiting is slowing down the rate of change of a signal, making it rise or fall more slowly. By combining these functions (and the extra features Make Noise included), loopop demonstrated about 22 different things a MATHS can do, from basic envelope generation to LFOs to sidechaining to even acting as an audio filter or VCA.

I don't have a MATHS; it's a bit too pricey for my budget (though it's by no means the most expensive of Make Noise's many desirable modules). I have instead a home-built combination of three modules: two copies of Voxmachina's Sigma function and slew generator and a three-channel mixer of my own design, with attenuverters on two of those input channels. And when I just rewatched that loopop video, it turns out my setup can do all but three of those 22 functions, because my mixer doesn't have an analog OR output or a separate inverted output. Which is not too bad for a much lower price point and the satisfaction of saying I made it myself.

(I've gone through some MATHS cookbooks before to translate their patches to a dual Sigma setup, and there are, of course, a couple of other features that MATHS provides and my setup lacks. The MATHS slew channels have independent and simultaneous CV control over rise, fall, and "both", where Sigma provides the equivalent of a "both" and a switchable CV input over one of those; in MATHS, the slope shape, from exponential through linear to logarithmic, is selectable without self-patching; there isn't a gate input to control cycling; and MATHS channel 1 has an "end of rise" trigger instead of the "end of cycle" one that channel 4 or Sigma provides. The kinds of patches that require one or more of the missing features aren't enough to make me desperate to upgrade, but they'd be nice. Replacing the mini mixer with a larger version with attenuverters on each input and an OR out is in the medium-term plans.)

loopop did a follow-up video about using a MATHS to duplicate the dual-suboscillator function of the then-unreleased Moog Subharmonicon, and it turns out my setup can do that too — I was just listening to my system rigged to divide down a VCO signal with the Sigmas, to create random chords from a single note.

Als je wil weten of een bepaalde synth de moeite waard is kan je het beste eerst even kijken of Loopop al een review heeft gedaan. Meestal wel.

In deze video neemt hij een aantal dingen door die lastig voor hem waren toen hij met Ableton Live begon te werken.

How do you set up Ableton, its so different from FL

I switched from FL studio to Ableton 2 years ago and it was a very worthwhile change for me, check out loopop’s sexy ableton beginner video on YouTube, it’ll help - but even then, it’ll take some time to grow accustomed to, I was getting sick of FL’s quirks so for me it was worth the change but FL isn’t bad or anything, and I still miss the midi editor in FL.

Review: Hyve Synth

[su_label type=”black”]De Loopop. [/su_label]

O Hyve Touch Synth é muito diferente de outros sintetizadores – é polifônico com 60 osciladores analógicos, mas não possui filtros ou envelopes VCA, em vez disso, a maneira como seus dedos tocam sua superfície determina quais notas você ouve e como elas soam.

O Hyve Synth foi inicialmente construído em workshops com seu criador, Skot Wiedman, e…

I’ve got Dimple Entertainment’s Loopop Cube: Lup Salad (the Japanese PlayStation version of which can be seen in the photo above) on the brain right now after writing and publishing a blog post about “five overlooked Nintendo DS games you need to play as soon as possible.”

If this is the first you’re hearing of it, Loopop Cube (or Rupupu Cube, as some translate its title) is a cute puzzle game that combines elements of Puzznic (or Bejeweled) and Sokoban (aka Boxxle). There’s a bit more to its gameplay than that, of course, but that’s the gist.

Want to learn more about this adorable (and addictive) game, which was released for the PS1, DS and PSP? Check out this old blog post of mine: http://www.thegaygamer.com/2012/12/12-import-games-i-bought-in-2012-but_28.html

That same blog post offers up a few more snapshots of the PlayStation version of Loopop Cube: Lup Salad, by the way. Oh, and if you’d like to see that iteration’s instruction manual, read my “Manual Stimulation” write-up about it.

Hello, fellow youths! I hear this "unboxing" thing is big. So, this is my stimulus treat and birthday gift to myself: an Arturia MiniBrute 2S.

Arturia was originally known for their software re-creations of classic synths, but kept hearing from people wanting a good, new analog synthesizer in lower-cost hardware. To that end, they released the MiniBrute in 2012. The MiniBrute 2 series from 2018 is the evolution of that design, and includes two different synths — the MiniBrute 2 has a 25-key piano-style keyboard with an arpeggiator and mod and pitch-bend wheels, while the 2S has pressure-sensitive pads and a complex sequencer.

The box has a little carrying handle on the top, which is a nice touch.

Ah, new synthesizer smell.

Power is via a 12v wall wart; there's a USB-B jack on the back, but it's strictly for MIDI data. The power adapter comes with a bunch of different snap-in plugs for different countries. Arturia is a French company, so that makes sense; it's probably cheaper in the long run to package unnecessary adapters than to have separate "US Edition", "UK Edition", et c. packaging.

Eight tiny patch cables come in the box. I'll get to the patchbay and its significance later, but this is enough to get through the sample sounds and most internally-patched settings you might want.

The documentation situation is interesting. The "Getting Started" manual is a single sheet of paper, which comes in its own ziplock bag (?); the real manual you have to download from the website. The Cookbook, however, is a spiral-bound, free standing thing of beauty. Each page is a single patch, showing in red which knob and slider settings differ from a "default patch", and which jacks to patch together with the cables. The last couple of pages are a cheat-sheet for the keyboard or sequencer settings.

And this is the brute itself. Two oscillators, two LFOs, a 12dB Steiner-Parker multimode filter, both an ADSR and a looping AR envelope generator, and an amplifier with Arturia's "Brute Factor" feedback loop. The top half is all analog, while the bottom half is a digital sequencer with a lot of power. The block of jacks on the upper right is what makes this thing semi-modular, and what gives it its magic.

The earliest synthesizers from Moog and Buchla were modular synthesizers — each separate element of sound-making, modulation, or amplification was a different chunk, that you could — but had to — wire together in different ways to create different sounds. This approach fell by the wayside in mainstream manufacture, as instrument makers designed devices pre-configured for the ways most people used them. In recent years, however, there's been a resurgence in interest in modular synths, a lot of it focused on the Eurorack format/standard.

This semi-modular synth has internal wiring for the most common uses of each chunk, but by using the patchbay's 28 inputs and 20 outputs, you can reconfigure them, or bring in the functions of Eurorack modules to do more outré things still. Since I've been trying to build my own Eurorack modules, this lets me try them out in isolation without the whole chicken-and-egg problem of bootstrapping a system.

The back is pretty sparse — power jack and switch, USB, MIDI in and out, separate ¼" headphone and line-out jacks, and a laptop lock slot. There's a few tiny holes to put a screwdriver through to adjust tuning and such.

I'm loving playing with the thing, but I don't have any recordings to show for it. I'm still learning! There are, though, some great YouTube tutorials and tours of the thing. Loopop did this one on the 2S, and this one showing the differences between the 2 and the 2S, as well as one on ways to trick the things into playing more than one note at a time.

The Deckard's Dream is a marvel. A recreation/re-imagining of the legendary Yamaha CS-80 (which was famously used in the Blade Runner soundtrack, hence the name of this "replicant"), it both looks and sounds amazing. Synth YouTuber loopop did an in-depth review:
