Beautiful circuit for those who love amps and find themselves playing the delay more than the ‘real’ instrument. Strega is basically 3 kinds of tones, a vco, delay, and resonant modulation of the amp, which can be a tone at audio rate. So Bruxa embodies the two more esoteric tone possibilities of Strega, making it more than a delay, more than a reverb, it makes it something with resonance and distortion in a volatile amp circuit that can be molded to create something wholly new, something more than sound, something like the Happy Place Alessandro refers to when talking about Strega. For those who want a delay, it will prove useful, for those in search of their own Happy Place, it may be transformational.🖖
a bit disappointed here… nothing i couldn’t do with extensive R&D, a penchant for releasing creative and inspiring hardware, a knowledge of building synthesizer modules and programming and a collaboration with a world-famous electronic musician
So many epic patches. I have to hand it to you - you know how to create utter fomo and fly product off the shelf. Bruxa is now on my “must have” list. Well played. ❤
Wow, lovely organic tones. This will fit nicely color-wise between my good old Rainmaker and my Soma Lyra8-fx. I do wish it were stereo, but this might pair great with a mid/side approach to using delay.
Excellent! The saturation comes off different than Strega. It Sounds quite different. Time circuit sounds similar but the overall timbre is different and ME LIKEY. Great work Noisy Ones
80's horror flick vibes / Ennio Morricone Vibe towards the end is freaking nice Makes me think of the Movie A Lizard in a Woman's Skin ( Una lucertola con la pelle di donna )
I think it's time for me and my system to join a coven .🤟. Lovely module, and by the way the design is so elegant.. Takes my money, my soul and my precious hp's .
Are the internals of this module any different from running an external source into strega? Like, could I recreate any of the sounds with bruxa with strega?
In my experience, they feel and sound very different, and could not recreate each other. Bruxa is not a "descendant" of Strega, rather they are both descended in different ways from a common ancestor. You could say they are "cousins" rather than a parent and child.
To me, the Bruxa sounds like the love child of a delay and a Mysteron, while a Spectraphon sings McCartney’s parts from “The Girl Is Mine”. I’m looking forward to mine arriving in… Oct/Nov?! Damn the wait, but that makes it a great birthday present for me to me, so… a feedback present?
@@stephanrewind but why think about the sound on isolation? It’s about a mix, because that’s where these tools will be employed. mono effects are effective, great for creating depth, great to pan around and send into other stereo effects. My comment was only an abstract reference to that context, in lieu of all the mono bashing ;)
@@stephanrewind that's a fair assessment. Personally i don't find it gets overbearing any more than what i would expect based on the product description, and actually the mono factor sort of contributes to a more controlled environment. I like how it juxtaposes with the image created by the Qpas when it was modulating in stereo afterward. Overall it gives me Roland RE-201 vibes, but i wouldn't be against someone demonstrating two of them for stereo.
I also wish this was stereo, very badly. Since they have already gone down the stereo rabbit hole, it feels more disappointing. From companies that haven’t gone stereo, it’s a bit more understandable. Especially since it’s digital. I’m still interested in it, but it’s really difficult to justify it when I can do a LOT of cool delay stuff in my computer and it can absolutely easily be in stereo. (and yes, you can do feedback loops in daws! Just make sure that you have quick access to the volume knob if it goes nuts)
I haven't been watching your videos as much as I used to, but I love this video that shows great sounds and patching without the bearded guy on screen. It made me want to buy your products for the first time in a while. I know this might be rude, but I just want to let you know that not everyone likes bearded synthesizer videos, so please bear with me. Thank you.
Never thought of myself as a "bearded guy" and I'm not sure this comment will change that, but yes we will try to continue bringing variety to the channel. Thanks for watching! -W
Personally I appreciate that they are sorta splitting their modules into smaller, more accessible, cheaper eurorack options. It certainly allows for more options
@@juliantaylor5956 That's actually where I got off the boat, it's really quite expensive and seems like a good chunk of that price is due to the Cortini association and ''limited release'' nature. It quite expensive for what it is, used Stregas can be had for $500 or less and this is roughly 1/3 of that circuit. Seeing lots of lyra-8fx comparisons which are way cheaper. This feels inaccessible and collector-focused at this price point (check some of the cultish comments from the usual FOMO slaves), no doubt a lot of people seeing current-day QMMG prices are interested in Bruxa. Anyone reading this probably has multiple filters to play with, how about a Meraki or a Cosmos, or the PT offerings from AndrewF of NLC? It's just hard to justify at this price point, even though I think it sounds nice there's no way ''cheaper'' fits here.
For the "Not stereo? WHAT BULLSHIT??!!!" people: not everything needs to be in stereo. Guitars are mono. Human voice is mono. This is already a limited release, because it will not sell much. If it was stereo, it would cost even more. It might not be viable at all to make this as stereo.
Amazing. Looking forward to getting the module, when Schneider‘s Berlin delivers it. Realise I‘ll need 2 of them for stereo, panning through XPAN, or for the second channel I could use Erbe-Verb, but then I‘d have a extra output channel free… I know. I‘ll feed that back into the Spectraphon… Hurry up and make these things - my patch is waiting!!!! 👍👍👍👍😎🫵🫵🫵
The orchestra hit demo was hilarious
Woke me up
It deserve the "thumbs up" of its own right
I laughed!

I love that Krell patch. Here you can clearly hear the T/F without Strega disruption. It kind of sounds like a vintage spring reverb and a tape echo.
So many epic patches. I have to hand it to you - you know how to create utter fomo and fly product off the shelf.
Bruxa is now on my “must have” list. Well played. ❤
Hope you enjoy it!!

I know why I love my Strega. ;) Cool stuff.
Can’t wait to send my Spectraphon to this thing!!
TH-cam comments are so weird…the maj7 latching was dope. Like always, it’s really fun to watch you patch.
80's horror flick vibes / Ennio Morricone Vibe towards the end is freaking nice
Makes me think of the Movie A Lizard in a Woman's Skin ( Una lucertola con
la pelle di donna )
stellar patching and fantastic module.
great sounds!
Around 11:40 dub comes throug.Super nice.
A bruxa tá à solta!
wow works so good on the krell ! big patch !!
Wow that was wonderful!🤩🥰
Sucks that it’s a limited release, but I couldn’t resist adding a bit of Strega to the rack!
I think it's time for me and my system to join a coven .🤟. Lovely module, and by the way the design is so elegant.. Takes my money, my soul and my precious hp's .
Love the 7:45 jam v i b e s ~ ~

cant wait!
Love it.
is it just me or is it really sounds like stregas amazing delay. i need this.....quick!!!

What's the limit on pre-orders? Is it only going to be produced in a limited number? Within a limited time?
Why no stereo? You've been on a roll with the stereo modules...
you can't have stereo without mono dog.
@@stephanrewind sure it does!

So is this a one and done module. 1 special order or will it be rereleased every so often?

Hello!
Please tell me how to play Rene MK2 pads like this!
Stop or unpatch your clock, then go to the Latch page by pressing the channel button (e.g. X). press any pad in the grid to jump straight to it.
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC i love you x
Not sure if I feel the same spark from this as the other MN modules.
Lovely sounds that makes me second guess my stereo obsession, but I would need that option to make this worth close to £400
I love Strega. The only issue with me is not being able to clock delay time

Good vid. Next time around show the bearded guys face.

A little bit disapointed here ... nothing new in terms of realisation i can do with my actual modules.
I don’t think so. But please let me know
Not everything's for you

Sounds good apart from the orchestral hit which made me feel a bit sick

Guitars are mono. Human voice is mono.

Sounds like ass, but hey. Everybody cant like everything right? 😅 love mn❤
