MacBeth MK1 Vortex (prototype) (15 min)


YouTube Uploaded by macbethsynthesizers on Oct 4, 2011

"Here we have a demo of the Macbeth Mk1 VORTEX Desktop Analogue Synthesizer Module. For those who know the format- this is a 5U, 6 Space compact flat unit! It started out as the 'micromac'- an ambitious idea. This is a a complete **starter** modular synthesizer in a very small area. Anyway, well it's done. Here is a video of this thing. Personally I'm pleased- this small unit can provide the user with the sound of a big modular system- it's an entry point fot those wondering. The video content itself meanderders and only the die-hard will watch to the end! Some synth manufacturers give tiny examples of the sound of their gear- I tend to long drawn out stuff to give the potential user the feel of the instrument being used in a permance way. I'm rock and roll myself, so please excuse the personal feel to this thing! Please enjoy the 15 minutes of this one............Ken M" http://macbethstudiosystems.com/


Arduino-Powered MIDI Arpeggiator


YouTube Uploaded by hotchk155 on Oct 4, 2011

"Its not finished yet... but this yellow box is a MIDI arpeggiator. Its powered by an Atmega328 with Arduino bootloader and it also contains a PIC16F688 to receive MIDI synch on a second MIDI in port.
I wanted a standalone arp to go with some synth modules I've been building, and I was inspired by Reason's RPG8 - although it does not look much like it.(does that make it a hardware emulation of a software emulation of hardware...?)
The minimal control surface (just LEDs and switches) actually works pretty well. Still need to implement a few more features like note insert, proper gate length control and to debug the weird things it does every now and then. When its all finished I'll post some more clips and I intend to stick the source and schematics online too."

ADSR's gate is pulsed by Yusynth Random Module
Yusynth's S/H sample rate is changed by 2 linked dotcom Q106s in LFO mode

second half of the movie - after repatching - is just a 258c square wave, somehow modulated to the triangle side of the module

The key to the sound is subtle shifting ring modulation along w/ the wonderful BugBrand PT Delay module! Sequence is rotating through 2x 4 note banks w/clock division controlling the switch to alter the note placement :)"

"The first in a series of videos shot live from my studio: "The Laboratory." The sounds are recorded into Ableton live while the video is being shot, then they are edited together. I'm using MIDI clips in Ableton Live as well as a MIDI sequencer to trigger the synths, then they are manipulated in realtime. For more information about this project see my website: joelhenigson.com. I will have video clips explaining my setup and ideas shortly.

sammichSID Final Batch!

via MIDIbox

"There will be a final batch of 50 kits in October/November 2011 (or when I get 50 orders)."

via the midibox wiki
"sammichSID was designed to be the “no excuses” MIDIbox SID synthesizer kit - i.e. for all those people who want a MIDIbox SID but consider building it with modules too time-consuming, too newbie-unfriendly and/or too hard to design and construct a control surface, and where MB-6582 is too expensive, too daunting and/or too hard to source all the parts.

sammichSID therefore has the following design constraints/features, which support each other:

cheap
small
DIY newbie friendly
minimal control surface
single “walwart”/AC adapter supply, no C64 PSU brick!
stereo SID, optimized for 8580/6582A, 6581 optionally supported
“sandwich-style” stacked PCB design, no wires!
laser-cut 3mm acrylic case by Ponoko, customization possible
industry standard 2×20 character LCD with low-power LED backlight, customization possible
common control surface parts used, customization possible
To be available as a complete kit, including PCBs, components, case, hardware and (optionally) two 6582A SIDs!

MIDIbox SID Synthesizer V2 features

One Core module and one stereo SID module, fully integrated on one PCB with power supply.
Five “BankStick” slots, so you can store 4 banks of 128 patches, plus 128 “Ensembles” (engine and patch configurations)
Jumpers to configure the power supply, allowing a regulated 12V input to power 6581, or unregulated AC/DC input to power 8580/6582A.
Minimal control surface with three user-customizable buttons and LED matrix for maximum bling.
2×20 character LCD with support for low-power (25mA) or high-power (250mA) LED backlight.
Potential for future upgrade to MIDIbox SID Synthesizer V3 using add-on board..."

Twin 10 Channel Analog Sequencer Modual A10X21MT1

via this auction
"This Twin 10 Channel Sequencer "A10X21MT1" Works fantasic! 9-12Vdc Powered. Triggered output, and the Control voltage outputs. 10 (White & Orange Control Knobs) are the voltage output for each of the channels, each of the 10 channels has an on/off switch. The RED LED's are the pilot lamps for the channels, they will scan from Top left down, then right up. The Red Control knob (Freq) is for the speed of the scanning. The power input is on the back of the unit and instuctions will be sent with this. Fully grounded and IC's are socketed. I have tested this on my Synth and works great. Switchcraft parts (Instructions will be sent when shipped)

Each sequencer A & B have twin CV outputs, they are complete isolated from one another, same goes for the A/Trig and the B/Trig. You can use one or both, it does not matter how you use them. Each sequencer will operate freely from one another.

This has 2 seperate 10 channel sequencers in one unit. They both will work independant from one another. Each sequencer A or B will work off thier own "Freq" control.

Each A or B has Clock Input Jacks for External Timing control. When a signal is applied at that input it will turn off the internal clocks. The Freq LED will continue to flash but it will not have any control over the sequencing rate, that will be controled by the external input clock. This works for both A and B Clock Inputs.

You can sync them together either A sync to B or B to A, there is a center control that will work as follows:

Norm: CENTER (Yellow Control Knob) is Normal operation mode

AxB: Sequencer A (left side) A scans 1 thur 4 then will send pulse to Seq B.

BxA: Sequencer B (right side) B scans 1 thur 4 and will send pulse to Seq A.

A+B: Sequencer A will scan both A+B

BsynA: Sequencer B will sync B to A, Freq B will control both B and A

AsynB: Sequencer A will sync A to B, Freq A will control both A and B

The Unit measures 6 1/2 x 13 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Un-finshed wood cabinet."

Wasp Drive filter and SH101


YouTube Uploaded by clackbeetle on Oct 4, 2011

"A demonstration using a SH101 through a Wasp Drive. The SH101's filter is completely open and there is no resonance. So all the filter effects you hear are via the WD filter. The 101 is also sending a CV to the Wasp Drives Cutoff, that is why the resonance changes when different keys are hit. It is not a tuned resonance so it cant really be played tunefully but it has a good effect when playing. The CV is connected with a standard 3.5mm patch cable, much like the ones eurorack synthesizers use."


via this auction

"The Wasp Drive is a distortion / filter device. It uses the same VCF model as from the EDP wasp but adding tweaks and modifications to really bring out the noise!! Built into a robust folded aluminum case, with large chunky layout , an intuitive layout, LED rate indicator and rubber feet, it is an excellent choice for live performance as well as experimentation in the studio. A diverse filter capable of adding grit and punch to drums, ambient sweeps, filter wobble and plain crazy noise.

I tried to stay simpler this time and showcase the Tempests ability to do "normal" drum machine duties with patterns that were less musical and more rhythm. I also tried to solo some sounds while a beat was running to let the listener hear the quality of bass and feel the subs.
I'm sure YouTube will remove them."
