Animoog Vector and Wave Sequencing Synthesis

YouTube Uploaded by matrixsynth on Oct 24, 2011
Hit play and read the following, then play it again and watch.
Update Oct 25 1:19 AM PST: made quite a few updates to the following description:

In my original post on Animoog, I touched on the PATH and ORBIT modules and how they reminded me of Vector synthesis on the SCI Prophet VS, Yamaha SY22 and TG33, and later the KORG Wavestation line of synths. The technology started with the Prophet VS and when Sequential went under, the technology went to Yamaha and finally KORG where Dave Smith actually consulted on the Wavestation (see here for some history). The Prophet VS and Yamaha synths were exclusively vector synths while the Wavestation added wave sequencing. The Animoog kind of falls somewhere in between. I thought I'd post this video to demonstrate just a little bit of the Animoog covering wave sequencing and vector like synthesis.

A quick primer: Vector synthesis typically consists of morphing between various oscillators or sound sources. Wave sequencing consists of sequencing through various oscillator wafeforms within an individual oscillator. In the Prophet VS and Yamaha SY22/TG33 you have four oscillators, each of which can be set to a different waveform ranging from your standard analog shapes to more complex digital shapes (note the DSI Evolver and Tempest come with the Prophet VS waveforms, but they are limited to two oscillators for these shapes and two for analog only). With a vector synth you can typically use a joystick to morph between the oscillators, so you have one oscillator in each of the four extremes of the joystick range. You can also set modulation sources and draw paths to morph between the oscillators but you can't see them like on Animoog. With wave sequencing on the KORG Wavestation line of synths each of the four oscillators can sequence between waveforms in addition to morphing between oscillators. Side note: Wavetable synthesis is similar, but instead of morphing between oscillators you sweep through a table of waveshapes for a given oscillator. It's a bit different, but both forms of synthesis can give you animated evolving sounds as they morph through shapes not usually possible with standard analog synthesis. The Animoog to my surprise can not only cover this but it does so rather elegantly. After setting your paths you can then move and adjust them in real time as you watch visual cues that let you actually see what is going on.

As for the video, first of all take a quick look at the animated gifs on this page (previously posted here). You'll note the X/Y pad is broken up with horizontal bars for sound source (oscillator waveforms - you get eight on the Animoog) and vertical bars for sound modulation and processing. Note the path through the eight sound sources is linear and a bit like wave sequencing, however you only effectively have two oscillators to morph through, while on the Prophet VS and other vector synths you have four. However, with the added axis for modulation you can get similar results with Animoog - more so than most other synths. In the video you will see a shape covering the XY pad. This is the path through the XY pad a sound will take once you trigger it. Up and down movement travels through the waveforms and left and right travels through modulation. You can actually see the sound traverse the pad. The "keys" are set to follow the path in line when pressed at the bottom. If I slide up a key, the note drifts from the path. That little moving light is the note (you'll notice additional notes get assigned a different color so you can easily identify each note visually). You can see this happening at the beginning of the video. I trigger the note and once it traverses the full patch, I then move up the key and you can see the sound orbiting the last point. The ORBIT module lets you adjust exactly how it orbits the path, but that is not covered in this video. What you'll also notice is each note works independently of each other so you can adjust the orbits of each note with how much you move up the key touch-plate for each. Think polyphonic aftertouch, something sorely missing in most hardware synths and keyboard controllers. In the video you will also see me adjust the speed the note travels through the path, as well as whether it's one shot (as in the beginning of the video), back and forth (reverse), or looped. In the end you will see the notes take a pentagram shape as I change the path, crank up the rate, and slide up the notes being held to move the orbit out a bit. Diabolical stuff. Note this is a very simple patch. You can obviously get pretty creative mixing different waveforms with different modulations settings, paths, and orbits.

And of course, Moog's description via the original post on Animoog:
"• Anisotropic Synth Engine (ASE) - An exciting new Moog technology that allows the user to move dynamically through an X/Y space of unique timbres to create an expressive and constantly evolving soundscape.

• Timbre page – Assemble unique sounds in the X/Y space from timbres of a wide variety of vintage and modern Moog synthesizers and pedals. Note: this is NOT simple sample playback.

• Polyphonic Modulation - Simply slide your fingers to control multiple modulation parameters in Animoog right from the keys."

Joplin: The Easy Winners (synthesized)

YouTube Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on Oct 24, 2011

"Scott Joplin (c. 1867-1917): The Easy Winners (1901)

This ragtime composition by Scott Joplin is one of his most popular. It was first published in 1901, and is one of four Joplin pieces that had been recorded as of 1940. This synthesized rendition along with the scrolling "piano-roll" visualization were generated by our Matlab synthesizer from a midi file. The timbre used for this piece was generated through phase modulation synthesis - that is by introducing time-variation to the phase parameter ϕ in the general sinusoid equation y = A*sin(ωt + ϕ). For example, ϕ can be given by another sinusoidal function, resulting in y = A*sin(ωt + sin(ωt)). This is a computationally efficient synthesis method, allowing harmonically rich waveforms to be generated with relatively few arithmetic and trigonometric operations."

"rom manufacturer website:

the plug and perform simplicity of our stand-alone triple six synth has been carefully distilled into eurorack format by hirsute hands.

we designed a single module as powerful as an expensive array of traditional vco/vcf/vca modules patched together. while no compromise to the true spirit of the original circuit was afforded we worked especially hard to make this one of the most compatible eurorack instruments available with a generous array of 9 distinct control voltage inputs:

- two cv ins = frequencies of twin oscillators
- one cv in = threshold (osc. variant/gate/selection/etc.)
- four cv ins = twin amplifiers (distortion/secondary osc.)
- one cv in = new signal shape parameter (filter function)
- one cv in = for output drive parameter
- plus audio input (for unique modulation and triggering).

into the bargain are an additional three new controls, shape-knob & patch-knob / threeway switch, which make our most flexible circuit even more so.

in essence it is quite possible that this one module alone, placed under the control of up to 9 separate sequenced cv channels, could sound like someone slipped a c4 charge into tonto's "expanding headband".

KOMA Elektronik Announce FT201 Vactrol Filter & BD101 Analog Gate / Delay

"KOMA Elektronik announces two brand new effect pedals.
BD101 and FT201 now available for order on the KOMA Elektronik website.

Press Release: Berlin based effects manufacturer KOMA Elektronikhas announced the release of the BD101 Analog Gate / Delay and the FT201 Analog Vactrol State Variable Filter / 10 Step Sequencer. KOMA Elektronik is a young musician run company producing handmade analog effect pedals that produce out of the ordinary sounds. All pedals come with a 10 socket CV / audio patch bay and an on board infrared motion controller able to control all CV features on the pedals.


BD101 – Analog Gate / Delay

The BD101 Analog Gate / Delay is an innovative voltage controlled analog delay in combination with a fully adjustable wide frequency range gate. The BD101 is capable of providing bit crushing effects, resonant frequencies, fast shifts between heavy delayed and cranked up sounds and super short pulses, with whatever instrument you want to plug into it. With the on board infrared expression controller the user is able to override / control all the front panel controls by moving their hands or feet over it, which makes the pedal a versatile and powerful tool for use live or in the studio. The BD101 can be used as a standalone pedal, but is also ready to be used in combination with other KOMA Elektronik pedals and, for instance, a (modular) synthesizer through the 10-socket audio and CV patch bay. The on board infrared expression controller can also be used as a standalone feature.

The CV and audio patch bay allows control of Gate Speed, Gate Amount, Delay Time, Delay Feedback and gives the possibility to synchronize the pedal with an external clock signal. It also gives the possibility to make an external effects loop which allows the user to send out the processed feedback signal, run it through other effects and feed it back into the pedal.

Additional features include:

Slide controls for Input Gain and Delay Blend for more control while playing

On board infrared expression controller, can be used as a standalone CV feature

CV control for Gate Speed, Gate Amount, Delay Time and Delay Feedback

CV input for External Clock signals and synchronization with other KOMA Elektronik pedals

CV attenuators on the back of the pedal to fine-tune the CV inputs

Send/Return Insert for external processing of BBD Feedback signals

A wide frequency range Gate / Amplitude Modulation; choose between High, Mid and Low

Multiple Gate shapes; Ramp, Pulse and Sawtooth.

FT201 – Analog Vactrol State Variable Filter / 10 Step Sequencer

The FT201 Analog Filter / 10-Step Sequencer is our innovative voltage controlled vactrol state variable filter combined with a 10 step sequencer. The FT201 is capable of providing ultra low and high frequency filter effects which are controllable with the on board infrared expression controller, which allows the user to create filter sweeps by moving their feet or hands over the pedal. The FT201 has 3 different filter outputs: bandpass, low pass and high pass, which all work simultaneously. The cutoff frequency range is very large, between 20 Hz and 20 kHz and because of the vactrols used the sound quality is superb. The 10 Step Sequencer runs through the selected amount of steps (2 – 10 steps) and adds the control voltage to the value set by the Cutoff knob, thus modulating the cutoff frequency in every step.

Just like the BD101, the FT201 can be used as a stand alone pedal, linked to other KOMA Elektronik effect pedals or as a controller for a (modular) synthesizer or other CV receptive electronic instruments. The CV and audio patch bay allows control of the Resonance, Sequencer Reset, Cutoff and gives the user the possibility to synchronize the pedal with an external clock signal.

Additional features include:

Three filter outputs; Bandpass, Low pass and High pass, which all work simultaneously

Slide controls for Input Gain and Resonance for more control while playing

On board infrared expression controller, can be used as a standalone CV feature

CV control for Resonance, Sequencer Reset, Cutoff

CV input for External Clock signals and synchronization with other KOMA Elektronik pedals

CV attenuators on the back of the pedal to fine-tune the CV inputs

Availability and pricing:

The BD101 is available for order from the KOMA Elektronik website for 329,00 EUR incl. 19% VAT (only for EU countries)
The FT201 is available for order from the KOMA Elektronik website for 349,00 EUR incl. 19% VAT (only for EU countries)

Both pedals come with a KOMA power supply and user manual. Shipping is free of charge.

"SoundMashine is a granular synthesis based sound sampling and sequencing instrument.

Fully utilising touch gestures to provide a fast and easy to use compositional tool.

The app records sound using the devices built-in microphone, then divides the sound into slices which are then automatically assigned to each of the 16 screen tiles.

Each tile has its own set of parameters allowing you to adjust window size, playback rate, pitch, feedback, delay and delay modulation, all of which are easily set by the swipe of a finger. Each parameter listed can also be randomised between a set of assignable values.

Using the sequencer function patterns of tiles can be recorded and played back at different speeds, again using simple touch gestures.
