Busy Patching

Patch Notes:

Mellow voice like chords using the new AEIOU engine on the MCO (mkII), a vocal synthesis engine for generating human vocal phonemes added in the latest firmware v105!

A chord is triggered, starting with two fixed vowels, ‘Aah’ & ‘Wuh’ for Vox A and Vox B, producing a static hit. CV1 is assigned to control the A/B Mix to begin adding movement to the ‘voice’.  LFO 1 is assigned to Vox Tone to slowly sweep the formant and add further subtle motion. Vox A and B are then assigned control from LFO 2 and 3 respectively, both set to produce a random value each time the MCO is triggered. The result is new Vox ‘mouth shapes’ that change with each chord hit.

Update your MCO to the new firmware v105 to try out the AEIOU engine yourself!

Updating your MCO (mkII) is easy, connect it to a computer via usb and copy the firmware file across. See the MCO (mkII) manual for full details here: busycircuits.com/docs/alm046-manual.pdf

Patch Notes: 

Assigning modulation from a hardware MIDI controller in the latest version of the new MFX motto multi-effects plugin, available now for iPad from the App Store. 

‘MFX motto’ is a multi-effects plugin from ALM Busy Circuits, which brings the much lauded FX engines from our ‘MFX’ Eurorack Module, Guitar Pedal and Desktop plugins now to the iPad with the unique ability to now chain multiple effects.

Here, the MFX motto is loaded into AUM to process the Motto Akemie, sequenced by the Korg Nanokey which is also configured in AUM to send MIDI CCs to the MFX motto. From the new modulation page of the MFX motto, specific parameters of the 2051 Bit Corrupter are set as modulation destinations, allowing the Nanokey sliders to control them.

Miley Serious Invite Requisit - 10 Novembre 2025

EVA LOVELESS 11.11.25

Patch Notes: 

Creating a synth voice using 3 resonant analog filters in series from the MCFx2 and Pip Filter.

In modular synthesis, starting with traditional basic patches and building on them is a great way to discover exciting new sounds and get the most out of a system. This unique expansion of the traditional single oscillator analog synth voice patch with 3 filters in series allows for 3x the amount of filter modulation, producing rich moving timbres using only a single oscillator. Similar techniques of can be used with multiple filters in parallel or panned in stereo to add unique modular richness character to a basic voice patches.

3x Filter Voice

Patch Notes: 

Bright liquid tones using the CIZZLE’s unique resonance wave processed through dual resonant high pass filters from the MCFx2.

The Osc B output of the CIZZLE is run into the left filter input of the MCFx2 (normaled to the right), with each filter’s high pass output patched to the MFD acting as a stereo VCA. The Shape control of the CIZZLE is swept manually, then modulated by a slow unipolar triangle wave from the Pip LFO. The filter Cut Off of both high pass filters is then increased, producing bright liquid tones as they process the CIZZLE’s sweeping resonance wave. A bipolar sine wave from the Pip LFO is added to modulate the Cut Off, creating complex morphing multi-peak tones. Finally, the Osc B frequency is lowered 2 octaves, shifting the tones into formant territory.

Patch Notes: 

Designing a realistic rainy environment with both rain and thunder sounds entirely synthesized by the Turismo.

For the full patch writeup and demo video check out the Busy Blog here: https://busycircuits.com/blogs/latest/turismo-environment-sound-design

The ‘Turismo’ is well suited for sequencing beats and groove box style patching but fits equally well into less structured environments. Here we explore realistic environmental sound design, making use of the Turismo’s plethora of utilities and interesting sound shaping capabilities to create a custom environment with rain and thunder sounds entirely synthesized by the system.

False Imprint w/ DJ Papaya - Dec 1st 2025

For this December edition, Delphine Demord and Peinturalo recorded a mix together, live, like a two-hour collage with: current favorites, discoveries, and personal classics placed side by side. 

Delphine brings her post-punk and noise rock impulses : tracks she hadn’t had the chance to play with someone in a long time. Peinturalo shares what she listens to while painting and throughout her days: lots of German, Belgian, and UK 80s sounds, and songs she doesn’t always manage to play at night in front of a dancefloor.

The selection also echoes the strange, psychedelic landscapes Clara paints, with shifting moods and unusual colors. It’s a joint selection where their tastes naturally respond to each other. Simply the pleasure of playing music together for the first time.

MFX motto

‘A Replica Screams’ emerges as a collection of drifting memories, a chain reaction of unique combinations of elements already present in the World. It embraces the idea that existence itself is positively shaped by serendipity and meaningful coincidences, and that we are all falling together, in time, and on time.
