The Moon Modular M551 MIDI to CV Interface


YouTube ploaded by moonmodular on Jun 24, 2011

"The M 551 is a module, which transforms an attached Midi signal into a couple of analogue control voltages. Thereby modular synthesizers can be integrated into a Midi-network and controlled by Midi-master-keyboards or Midi-hardware- or software-sequencers/DAWs.

The M 551 derives the following six control voltages from the fed Midi-messages:
- Keyboard CV (from Midi-note-number) Depending on the 'Priority' switch, the lowest, highest or last received note-on message is getting transformed. Voltage range: 0-10,53 V
- Gate (from the current Midi note-on/note-off commands)
- Velocity (transforms the key velocity [note-on velocity] of the current note-on message) Voltage range: 0-10 V
- Mod. Wheel (derives a control voltage from Midi-modula- tion messages [Controller 1]. Voltage range: 0-10 V
- Pitch Wheel (control voltage from the Midi pitch bend commands, bipolar) Voltage range: ±5 V (If "Add Bend CV" is active, a pitch bend voltage of ±0,5 V is added internally to the keyboard control voltage).
- Controller (transforms a selectable Midi controller into a control voltage [0-10 V])
Available are: - After touch - Breath controller (CC 2) - Foot pedal (CC 4) - Sustain pedal (CC 64) - Panorama (CC 10) - Main volume (CC 7), - the unspecified parameters CC 20, CC 21, CC 22.

The functions of the three toggle switches are:
- Add Bend CV
In 'on'-position the Midi Pitch bend voltage (attenuated to ±0.5 V) is added internally to the keyboard voltage to ease pitchbending the oscillator
- Priority
Keyboard control voltage/gate signal/velocity voltage are derived from the hightes/lowest/last received note-on message
- Keyboard Mode
Retrig triggers a new keyboard control voltage/gate signal combination at any struck key
Legato starts a new event not before all keys are released

To select the Midi-Channel: Dial the rotary switch to the„Channel Select" position and initiate a MIDI-channel message (e. g. strike a note on a keyboard); the module sets itself to the most recently received MIDI channel (this setting is saved even if the unit is switched off).

Sending iPad thru a Korg monotron filter/mod With space echo


YouTube Uploaded by therealrobtheviking on Jun 25, 2011

"iPad -- monotron -- space echo

Messing with the korg filters and LFO settings. Running a beat playing in iTunes on the iPad into the aux input of the monotron, and then out to the space echo.
Pretty cool toy, this thing is tiny! Its basically a micro pocket synthesizer with a ribbon keyboard, a real ms-20 filter, and a basic LFO, and an aux input so you can filter and modulate external audio sources through it's classic filter design.
It's a bit noisy but you can actually get some thick bass tones and wild self oscillating tones with the peak (resonance) and cutoff knobs.
The LFO seems to be limited to forward sawtooth wave form.

Sorry for the crap iPhone audio quality!!"

Quasimidi Polymorph Classic Rack Synth



via this auction

"A rare and sought after instrument. The descendant of the Quasimidi Rave-o-lution 309, the Polymorph was Quasimidi's final and most ambitious synth. Powerful, subtle, and deep. In addition to Quasimidi's powerful synth engine, it is the step sequencer that really sets this instrument apart. The step sequencer has 16 steps and 4 lines, 8 variations, and many sophisticated features that make this synth a truly inspirational resource for Techno and Trance, as well as "Berlin School" styles of electronic music. A favorite of Orbital and Jean-Michel Jarre. Klaus Schulze still makes extensive use of his famous "wall" that features seven Polymorphs, both in the studio and on stage."

Cwejman DMF-2 Dual Mode/Slope Filter



via this auction
"Overview:
The DMF-2 module consists of two identical filters with two modes: lowpass and a quasi-bandpass which are available simultaneously at separate outputs. Each filter works selectively with different filter slopes and allows overdriven sound by saturation. By lots of in- and output combinations the module can be used as two independent filters or as a parallel dual filter.

Technical details:
Each filter features resonance up to self-oscillation. The lowpass is switchable between the classic 24dB and a 36dB slope, the bandpass is a combination of 6dB highpass and 24dB lowpass. The volume control sets the audio level at the input up to saturation which grade is shown by LEDs. Additionally to the each filter´s separate sockets there are in- and outputs which address both filters simulaneously or carry thir audio signal.

Inputs and outputs:
Per filter there are two CV inputs for modulation of cutoff frequency (one with attenuator) and one for resonance, then an adjustable audio input and separate outputs for low- and highpass. There is a common CV input which controls both filter´s cutoff frequencies and a common adjustable audio input. Likewise there are combi-outputs for the audio signal of the low- and bandpasses.

Measures and weight:
Module for 3RU system / width 14HP / depth incl. knobs about 40mm / power consumption: 40mA / weight: 270g"

Beethoven: "Moonlight" Sonata mov. 3 (synthesized)


YouTube Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on Jun 25, 2011

"Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Piano Sonata No. 14 in C# minor ("quasi una fantasia"), mov. 3

Composed in 1801, the "Moonlight" sonata is one of Beethoven's most famous works for piano. Beethoven included the "quasi una fantasia" ("almost a fantasy") phrase in the sonata's title because it does not follow the traditional fast-slow-fast structure of 3-movement sonatas. While the style of this third movement is typical of Beethoven's sonatas, the first movement is quiet and pensive. Fast arpeggios and chromatic runs make this movement one of Beethoven's most technically demanding piano compositions. It is also thought that this movement inspired Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu.

This synthesized rendition was created by mixing together two instruments from our Matlab synthesizer: guitar and a subtractive synthesis-based keyboard voice. Like an acoustic piano, the timbre of this mix changes with dynamic levels, along with the volume. The dynamics are also reflected in the "piano-roll" visualization, with blue notes being piano or pianissimo, green representing mezzo-piano and mezzo-forte, and red corresponding to forte/fortissimo. Both the audio and scrolling visualization were generated by our Matlab synthesizer from a MIDI file."

EMS Synthi Sequencer 256

via this auction. This appears to be the same one recently listed on VEMIA, and posted here. Not sure if this one is legit. The seller has some other interesting items as well. Keep an eye out in the comments of this post to see if anyone chimes in.

"EMS SYNTHI Sequencer 256.
One of the rarest pieces of equipment from EMS or any other manufacturer: the massive Sequencer 256. Not just a very important part of electronic music history (probably the first commercially available digital sequencer, and unrivalled for a decade or more). It is also a thoroughly viable piece of equipment in today's electronic studio, with some elements which would be very difficult to re-create with a state-of-the-art computer system. This particular machine was throughout its life by Dartington College in Devon, the arts college. It was loaned out by Dartington in the late 70s for the cult film 'The Shout' - see one of the pics which has a still from the DVD behind this actual machine. It has been thoroughly serviced by EMS experts Lucid Sound, as usual with the kind help of Robin Wood at EMS. Lucid's service notes tell the story of the thoroughness of this work:- Replaced Nestra PSU capacitors ­12V supply has ripple, swapped +/­12V cards, now OK, possible diode blown in 12V rectifier, checked, re­swapped, no fault found. Cleaned Nestra edge connectors, now OK. Tested sequencer, functions basically work but control voltages are unstable. Traced to bad trimmer resistors. Replaced all trimmers on C card, +2.5V reference out of range of adjuster, traced to faulty 741 op­amp, replaced. +/­2.5V now calibrated correctly. Replaced trimmers on B card, recalibrated internal clock. Slew rate processor calibrated – note slew rate CV in is hard­wired to Channel B dynamic out. Set Channel B vernier to 5 if you want to disable this facility. Replaced trimmers on A card, keyboard output voltage still unstable. Traced to noisy resistors in output circuit and FET’s loose in sockets. Soldered FET’s in place, added 10k multi­turn trimmer in place of existing 1k pot and 4k7 padding resistors, octaves now stable and calibrated. Adjusted so that middle ‘F’ is reference note at zero volts. Adjusted trimmer so that Zero Store = full scale on meter when indicating free memory. Some keyboard contacts intermittent, cleaned Calibrated verniers so that 5 = zero volts out. Scaling adjustable on verniers to +/­1.2V/Octave. Layer 1 key circuit has been previously modified for +/­10V output, layers 2 – 4 are standard at +/­5V, but can be modified on request. Clock rate vernier sometimes slips, replaced vernier (retained original knob and cap) and calibrated for zero volt on meter and 4Hz clock frequency when vernier set to 5. Cleaned panels, tolex top and keyboard. EMS Keyboard lead included, tested and cleaned pins. Mains lead missing, manufactured new one. Sourced manual. Final test of all functions with Synthi A and SH­09. Cosmetically the end cheeks are not good - they have lost quite a lot of veneer on the corners and edges; but the important bits - the control panel, etc - are very good indeed."

NYLE STEINER & DEAN DE BENEDICTIS ON SUNDAY SYNTH, MAY 22

NYLE STEINER & DEAN DE BENEDICTIS ON SUNDAY SYNTH, MAY 22 by Dean De Benedictis
"This is a track from Dean De Benedictis's project, Travels Rendered, that was aired on British radio program Sunday Synth. The track/song is an improvised ambient piece that was performed and recorded live, in an alpine canyon near Provo, Utah, by Dean De Benedictis and Nyle Steiner (inventor of the EWI). To create this piece, both men hiked up into the mountains with their gear, and then Nyle plugged his EWI and synth module into an audio card for Dean's laptop studio (which runs Ableton Live and Reactor). Both men then preceded to improvise live ambient music, successfully. The canyon was elevated in the mountains east of Provo, and it was a gray day. (The accompanying video is not from this performance, but rather a separate TV interview that introduces Nyle and what he does.)"

Modifying the A-124 Wasp Filter for self-oscillation

via PatchPierre.Net

"Out of the box the A-124 Wasp filter can not go into self oscillation, in contrast to most of the other filters in the A-100 system.

Lucky for us modifying the module for self-oscillation is quite easy; Doepfer's DIY page tells us that; "Soldering a 10k resistor in parallel to R13 (27k) leads to self-oscillation of the filter at the max. resonance setting of the resonance control." Be sure to see PatchPierre.Net for more.

Apple II Concert - Saturday, June 25th, 2011 6PM

via Machine Project via Boing Boing where you'll find the stream once it starts. Not sure what timezone though.

snip from Machine Project:
"The Apple II’s sound system, unlike contemporaries such as the Atari 800 or Commodore 64, did not use a discreet sound chip, but rather a simple timer circuit that could be coaxed into creating square-wave tones. Most chiptune musicians tend to use sound-chip based systems, but there is a certain charm to square-wave tones. Some may define this charm as “annoyance.”

So, as a grand “musical” experiment, noted loon Jason Torchinsky has written a crude 16-step sequencer for the Apple II, and is seeking to gather up as many Apple IIs as possible to construct an orchestra which will then perform a live, dynamic concert/musical event. Machine’s resident music guru, Chris Kallmyer, will be on hand to discuss the nature of music, why some of the Apple’s 256 tones are notes and some are not, and generally help make things somewhat listenable."

That's one impressive keytar.

Korg Sequential BlackTrak Synthesizer

flickr set by kb_cheapmods
(click for more)

via hegoodbutcher in the comments of this post for a Split Eight with painted black keys.

On the BlackTrack: "This is a modified Sequential Six-Trak synthesizer.

Where to start? The most obvious mod is the black keyboard. This is not a paint job; I felt a paint job would chip eventually and look cruddy. So I replaced the Six-Trak's white keys with the corresponding black keys from a reverse-key Korg Poly-800. They are a near-perfect fit (thanks to Sounddoctorin for the insight!) and function exactly the same.

And inside, there's more Korg. I took the VCF/VCA board from a Korg DW-6000 and adapted it to act as the filter and amplifier for the Six-Trak. This means the CEM3394's are acting only as VCO's, while the wonderful NJM2069 IC's are getting control voltages from the Six-Trak's microprocessor.

Finally, I implemented the individual out modification, as well as adding VCF in for each channel. This means you can use this Six-Trak a six-channel voltage-controlled signal processor."

SampleWiz for iOS Now Available

SampleWiz - Jordan Rudess: Wizdom Music, LLC - iTunes
iPads on eBay

From the creators of the award-winning iOS app MorphWiz comes SampleWiz!

Capture your sonic universe!
Listen… Record… Create…

Jordan says: In creating this instrument I wanted to create something that would appeal to the sonic explorer in all of us. Creating a sampler for iOS devices has allowed us to push the boundaries of traditional sampling instruments. From playing a selection of my signature sounds on the SampleWiz keyboard (JR lead anyone?) to getting up close and personal with sounds by playing directly on the waveform screen, our mission was to blow your mind, put a smile on your face, and expand your creativity. In creating SampleWiz, we have created partnerships with leading sound developers in addition to my personally selected onboard presets.

"Inspiring! Just when you thought nothing could be new in the world of sampling, along comes SampleWiz to fire up the neurons of our creativity in new ways. I love the the new realtime interactive noises I can get by 'touching the sound'...the crazy and unique stuff you can do with it is really expressive and fresh!" - Eric Persing, Founder of Spectrasonics

"SampleWiz gets you playing instantly, and if you like to sample, there's no quicker or more fun way to go from recording to playing your own samples. Amazing controls, easy to understand yet deep enough to let you create musical voices! And it comes with a library of great sounds from Jordan Rudess. SampleWiz is a wiz if ever there was!" - David Mash, VP of Technology and Education, Berklee College of Music

We have poured our hearts and minds into this and driven our families, bandmates, and friends insane by sampling everything that moves. I hope you enjoy this very expressive and wild music app creation!

*Choose from three different sampling modes: classic, granular, and modern.
*Classic - the traditional method of sampling where the sound will speed up and slow down as you go higher or lower than the recorded pitch.
*Granular - Wizdom Music's own take on a granular synthesis engine. Adjust grain size and speed while the entire range of notes maintain the same speed.
*Modern - explore new sampling possibilities using Dirac technology to allow formants and time to be adjusted automatically over a device-selected range.
*Up to 10 seconds per sample.
*Jordan Rudess presets from his private collection.
*Resample anything that you play on the playing surface to create all new samples derived from your existing presets!
*Three playing surface modes allow you to play on the keyboard, wave-edit screen, and the ADSR window.
*Wizdom Music's Advanced Pitch Rounding for initial attack as well as after a slide.
*Every note you play is an independent event allowing powerful, expressive control of pitch and amplitude.
*Finger vibrato effect allows you to achieve vibrato even when pitch lock is activated!
*Unique visuals for each sampling mode. A glow tracks your fingers and respond to the amount of amplitude of every note you play.
*Choose from many different scales and customize your own.
*Play your samples forward or reverse!
*Looping options include standard looping as well as back-and-forth looping.
*Allows trimming of samples.
*Unique visualization of the amplitude envelope on the ADSR page.
*FX include delay with a choice of tap-tempo, BPM, and seconds control over the rate.
*Have two keyboards on the screen, each with its own range and scale!
*Unique hold mode where every held note can be in a different synthesis mode!
*Share your presets with friends by mailing them as SampleWiz files or standard audio files.
*Play directly on the waveform and hear the audio that is right under your finger. Slide each finger separately in any direction to change pitch and position in the sample.
*MAPI AudioCopy/AudioPaste allows sharing of audio with top audio apps.
*Load your own audio files with iTunes file sharing.
*Onboard help screens explain every parameter. Touch the question mark to activate."

Mutable Instruments goes SMT

via Mutable Instruments
"Last month I decided to learn SMT soldering. Here are the three main reasons:

Many interesting parts are not available, or are hard to find in DIP (through-hole) packages. This includes ARM microcontrollers, but also cheap and large capacity RAM and flash chips.
I like small things, and SMT is a good way of reducing the size of the boards.
While there are still many factories out there doing through-hole assembly, the process is quite complicated and require unnecessary human labor. SMT boards, on the other hands, can be populated in seconds by pick and place machines.

But even if you’re not considering having your gizmo manufactured, the first two reasons should be enough to motivate DIYers to learn it!.." full post here

Macbeth Studio Systems: X-Series Dual EG

"New from Macbeth, the Dual Envelope Generator in Eurorack continues his "X-Series". Here is a photo of the final prototype.

The Dual EG is a classic dual ADSR design and includes a "bonus" utility VCA. The module was made to be versatile, thanks to the range control, but extra attention was placed on the envelope attack and decay times to allow fast, "clicky" envelopes much like a Roland Sh-101.

The module is in production now along with the Dual SV Filter. It should be available within a few weeks. We'll update our website closer to the release date.
