Hello,

hope you're good and having a nice (I like it warm but not this warm) summer so far. Here's an absolutely MEGA video on creative and musical quantizing with Ziggurat from Acid Rain Technology. I'll let the video do the talking, but its really very VERY good (lots of smart easy to use features, some I've not seen before). This is a VIDEO PREMIERE happening in ~1 hour from now, so if you can, grab a brew and join us in the live chat, I'd love see you in the hangout. If you can't make it, watch it back anytime after that.

THE SET UP FOR THIS VIDEO

Here's the set up used for the video. Any questions about any of the modules, why they're in the case for this demo, or mainstays for many demos, feel free to ask :)

EDIT // there's 3 exclusive videos to come from this Ziggurat video. One big patch breakdown from my favourite patch in the video and 2 extras not in the video. Those will go online next week.

KRELL VCV PATCH

Krell patches came up over on the DivKid Discord recently and in response I made a VCV Rack patch that's free to download (attached to this Patreon post down at the bottom, and in our exclusive documents folder too). It's a patch that highlights (with notes) a basic Krell generative ambient patch and then also presents an expanded Krell patch giving you an idea of where you might like to take the basics.

If you download it and use it, or just path Krell style in general I'd love to talk about it. Comments on the post or Discord (is best) as always for that and if you're wondering what we're talking about, HERE is the patch creator Krell master Todd Barton telling us what this actually is.

20 QUESTIONS // CIRCUIT HAPPY

If you haven't read it yet the latest 20 Questions interview is live on the DivKid site and this time its with Circuit Happy. They may be the only music tech company (at least that I know of) that have mandatory "on the water meetings"! haha. Check it out and all the other 20 Questions interview HERE.

COMING UP

I'll be off to Deer Shed Festival with our pal Mylar Melodies for the next few days, I've got an interesting set up (I think) with the Erica Synths Bullfrog Drums (so we can program beats) which will also sequence the Future Sound Systems CRIC and I'll be putting CRIC to the test as a centre piece to an electronic music studio (which is how FSS pitch CRIC and its capabilities). I'll have some other goodies for people to play with solo on headphones but I think CRIC at the centre, sequenced by the Bullfrog, mixing in the Bullfrog, feeding the speakers, with a mic pre that's on the back and some FX pedals ... it should be a great set up for fun music making. We'll see, I might make a video about it so to repeat myself ... any questions about it let us know. It might inform a video on that specific set up and Deer Shed festival.

Beyond that plenty of videos, some exciting movement in new DivKid module making land, a head full of ideas and too little time to execute them all! Chat soon in the Discord and thank you as always for the support.

A Quantizer packed with Creativity!! // Ziggurat from Acid Rain Technology

Here's an absolutely MEGA guide to creative and musical uses of quantizers in Eurorack which is our demo of Ziggurat from Acid Rain Technology. Ziggurat is packed full of smart and easy to use features across its 4 channels of quantizing, some features I've not seen on anything else before (hats off to Acid Rain!) but there's lots of patches widely applicable to any quantizer options you may have. I also hope to instill the message that quantizers are super fun even when you have already quantized sources.
