Posted @withregram • @flux302 @modbapmodular has a new module in the works… #modbapCLRS CLRS #eurorack module distills down many useful signal processing functions for making #modbap and so much more. True stereo DJ style filter, drive saturation , magnetic tape distortion and artifacts, sample rate and bit crushing tuned with a very special blend and curve to make it hit those sweet spots, stereo width , ducking and last but not least a beautiful compressor. Coming soon to a case near you.#s2400 @islainstruments #modbap #modbapCLRSpreorders open now. Ships in June.

Yo! This Modbap documentary has been writing itself for years now. We’ve been slowly but surely putting in work and grabbing interviews as time permits and when schedules allow. We have many more to go but for now here is a taste of what’s to come… eventually. Stay tuned.

What is Modbap?

Modbap music and lo-fi hip hop music share some similarities, but there are also some key differences between the two genres.

Modbap music is a subgenre of hip hop that incorporates elements of modular synthesis, jazz, and funk. It typically features complex and intricate rhythms, with a focus on polyrhythms and syncopation. Modbap music also emphasizes improvisation and experimentation, with a heavy reliance on live performance and analog instruments.

On the other hand, lo-fi hip hop music is characterized by its use of low-fidelity recordings, with elements like vinyl crackle, tape hiss, and sample distortion often intentionally left in the mix. Lo-fi hip hop music typically features slow and relaxed tempos, with a focus on creating a mellow and nostalgic atmosphere. It often incorporates samples from jazz, soul, and R&B music, as well as elements of ambient and electronic music.

While both Modbap and lo-fi hip hop music share an emphasis on groove and rhythm, Modbap tends to be more complex and
experimental, while lo-fi hip hop is more laidback and nostalgic. Additionally, while lo-fi hip hop often relies on digital production techniques and software-based instruments, Modbap places a greater emphasis on analog synthesis and live performance.

Introducing Modbap Meridian.

—————————————-
Meridian is a 14hp dual multimode stereo filter array, designed to offer users a choice between 4 selectable filter types per side and 4 selectable filter modes per side, plus 2 effects (drive & phase shift), and the ability to be pinged. This allows users the flexibility to easily create a range of unique sound textures and sonic landscapes using a single powerful eurorack filter module.

Meridian represents the idea of a meeting point or a convergence of different elements. Filters are often used to blend, shape, and refine different sounds into a cohesive whole. Meridian is often represented through the idea of a barrier or a line that separates parts. This concept mirrors the way the filter delineates different frequencies and aural elements, generating a defined contrast that shapes the overall sound.

Speaking this Thursday Corry Banks - founder of @modbapmodular

Banks’ passion is to bridge the gap between hip hop and music technology. Banks has worked as a technologist for 25 years and is a pioneer of the Modbap Community.

This is a free event, open to all.
10:00am - 11:00am
April 16th
On campus @sandiegocitycollege in room C210

See you there!

I had a great time moderating today’s panel: “Neurocreativity in the Age of AI & AC: The Evolution of Sampling — From Crates to Brainwaves.”
Really appreciative for the engagement and the discussion, and grateful to share the stage with these brilliant minds. The questions, the nuance, and the thoughtfulness in the room made it special. 🙏🏾

Left to right: @ali.the.architect @trovarsiofficial @kingbritt@bboytechreport and Torrie Jones of @moises.ai

Hot take: human-made is the new premium. 💎
So what happens when AI becomes the “new crate”?

We’re tracing the evolution of sampling in real time. From crate digging and early digital workflows to AI as the “new crate” and what’s next when the source becomes gesture, biometrics, and even brainwaves. Expect practical stories, real opinions, and a few spicy ethics takes, all grounded in culture and craft. If you sample, produce, or just love the art of flipping sound, pull up.

We’re unpacking it live at NAMM: The Evolution of Sampling
Fri Jan 23 • 10AM • Hilton Anaheim (Huntington Room)
Pull up and bring questions. #a3e #namm

Enjoyed my time on today’s AES panel on “Hardware Platforms for Electronic Instrument Development.” This is a photo of the panelists (minus our host and moderator, Michael “eMBee” Bierylo, who got away from us before we could grab the shot).

Left to right: Stephen Hensley (Electro-Distro / Electrosmith), Jonas Kaplan (Seaside Modular), me, Corry Banks (Modbap Modular), and Andrew Ikenberry (Qu-bit / Electrosmith).

Great discussion with so much context and background on how and why the Daisy platform came about, and how both Seaside and Modbap serve as strong case studies for boutique, independent brands building on a solid and expansive foundation.

Excited to join the Audio Engineering Society at AES for a deep dive into hardware platforms for electronic instrument development. I’ll be on the panel alongside innovators shaping the tools behind today’s music technology.

Saturday, October 25 at 10:15 AM — AES Convention 2025.

Michael Bierylo – @embee1973 (AES / Berklee College of Music)

Andrew Ikenberry – @andrewikenberry and Stephen Hensley – @_shensley (@qubitelectronix @electrosmithco)

Jonas Kaplan – @seasidemodular

Corry Banks – @bboytechreport (@modbapmodular)

Let’s talk design, development, and the future of electronic instruments. See you there.

Live beat set vibes with the Modbap PER4MER in the mix. Nothing like being able to grab effects in real time, flip them into the groove, tap the lit arcade buttons, bend the sound, and build your own world on the fly. This is why PER4MER stays in my setup.

Running the Akai Force through the Eurorack and letting the Modbap PER4MER take it to another level. PER4MER’s Wax color mode adds vinyl crackle and warped record vibes, the compressor glues the whole beat together, and I’ve got ducking keyed to the music itself. On top of that, I’m riding the arcade buttons heavy on the glitch effect, tweaking pitch and size in real time. The obvious part is me pressing buttons, but the not-so-obvious part is how PER4MER is elevating the whole sound with compression and that dusty vinyl feel.
