Tubbutec Introduces Brainstep Controller

video upload by Tubbutec

via tubbutec

"Brainstep Controller is an expander for our Brainstep eurorack module. While it is possible to change Brainstep’s envelope and LFO parameters using the menu, Brainstep Controller creates a more direct, hands on approach.

The 25 sliders let you control most accent, ADSR and LFO parameters. Additionaly, the glide time can be controlled.
How to connect

Brainstep Controller is a specialized MIDI controller using TRS-A input and output jacks. A stereo jack cable needs to be used to connect the controller’s output the Brainstep’s TRS MIDI input.
MIDI data coming into the controller’s TRS input is merged with the controller data and sent to Brainstep. This way, no MIDI input is lost when using the controller.

Visualizing parameter changes
When receiving data from the controller, Brainstep can display the currently changing value on its display. To turn on this feature, go the Brainstep’s configuration menu and select Misc->Display->Overlay timeout. Here, you can set the number of seconds the value is shown, or turn this feature off.

Brainstep patch idea - modulating swing

video upload by Tubbutec

"Using one of Brainstep's 8 LFOs in synced mode, we modulate the swing amount via a CV input.
This creates an evolving, ever changing rhythm."

ROLAND TR-808 + TUBBUTEC UNIPULSE MIDI DEMO

video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics

"Here's a lovely Roland TR-808 drum machine that needed some repairs, then Midi added. This video is for Jason Massie (who owns this TR-808)

Repairs done:
-Power Supply Rebuilt
-Cleaning of Battery Corrosion, repair of 12 traces (lot's of acid went through a few sections of the traces)
-Repair to the Bass Drum circuit (decay was ringing out infinitely, once pattern was stopped) Faulty film capacitor, transistor found on this circuit as well.
-Repair to the Cowbell circuit (ringing out a high pitch all the time-battery corrosion fault)
-Installation of ‪@tubbutec‬ Unipulse Midi kit, which has an awesome online program where you can configure lot's of different drum sound/midi settings.

The Roland TR808 is such a legendary drum machine, used by just about every Genre of music starting in the 1980's to even today. They have a distinct sound/character that cuts through the mix, most known for their 808 kick, cowbell, clap, snare, etc."

"This one is in excellent cosmetic condition and working 100%. It has just been serviced with quite a bit of restoration from Ed Rose, The Simmons Guy. It is ready to be used and needs nothing! As the title says, this one has Tubbutec uniPulse midi. I doubt there is another for sale anywhere that is as nice cosmetically and that has had the same amount of restoration besides the other one I have listed. A quick demo is available on Facebook from The Simmons Guy. As you can see, this is the standard set with Bass, Snare, and three Tom modules. This listing is for the drum synth only and no pads or hardware are included. Not sold as-is!"

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Tubbutec - Brainstep Sequencer

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024 we met up with Tobias at the Tubbutec stand, who introduced us to the Brainstep module. Brainstep is a 4 track sequencer, clock distributor, euclidian arpeggiator and live recorder, with each track getting 4 ADSR envelopes which can be switched between linear and exponential behaviour, 4 accent envelopes, 8 syncable LFOS, and it even plays samples.

It's optimised for live performance and it has probability per step, and gives you 24 patterns which can be chained. It syncs via TRS, DIN sync or USB MIDI and there are 4 CV modulation inputs, microtuning, and it loads samples from an SD card.

Brainstep is released summer 2024.

Brainsync Price: around 550 Euros"

3 increasingly weird ways to program a TR-606 module (but keep it satisfying)

video upload by mylarmelodies

"This is a blend of: A 606 clone eurorack module demo (the LPZW/Tubbutec 6m0d6), and a tutorial - laced with tips and tricks - exploring three increasingly weird ways to trigger and modulate (drum) modules in general - using Gate & CV, Trigger Riot, and sneaky tricks in Ableton Live & MIDI. The overall theme is: Keeping the results 'musical' and satisfying.

We'll also make a generative sequencer with the Mutable instruments stages and use it to control the excellent Doepfer A-111-6. We'll drive it with the Music Thing Mini Drive. We'll turn the Tiptop Audio Trigger Riot into a modulation sequencer. We'll then use Ableton Live and we'll absolutely smash this thing to bits with some simple but very interesting methods to get completely wild patterns, that would take a LOT of modules to do in analog-land.

Happy days."

"In this video we explore 6 different was to use dynamics with the LPZW / Tubbutec 6m0d6 drum module.
https://tubbutec.de/6m0d6/

6m0d6 is a drum module for eurorack based on the Roland TR-606 drum machine. It features a lot of additonal parameters, some of which are typical TR-606 mods, some of which are completely novel.
