The driving… Read More Roland Bringing Synthesis To Electric Cars
This video, via Data Broth, explores using the programmable Roland Demora Eurorack delay effect module as a voltage-controlled synthesizer voice. The Demora lets you repatch its sub-modules, using a Mac, Windows or iOS editor, changing its internal signal path to customize how it works. All sounds in the demo video are from the Demora module. A Microbrute is… Read More Using The Roland Demora As A CV-Controlled Synth Module
