Linn LM-2 LinnDrum Vintage Drum Machine Basic Demo

YouTube Uploaded by zibbybone on Jan 11, 2012

"I [zibbybone] made this video to demonstrate the basic functions of the LM-2 LinnDrum drum machine and to embed it in my eBay listing, but I just sold it to a local. I start off with a 2 bar pattern featuring every available sound. Next, I demonstrate the stock sounds except the toms are "Toms6", more of an electronics "Simmons" style instead of acoustic toms. I also demonstrate the tuning ability of the snare, sidestick (chained to snare's pitch), toms and conga as well as the closed hihat decay. The LinnDrum has 5 trigger inputs which can be assigned to any of the onboard sounds. Here, I use a Roland TR-707 to trigger the LM-2's kick, snare, sidestick, closed hihat and clap than then program a pattern on the 707. You can hear some double triggering on the kick and clap, so it's best to experiment with different sounds as your sources to trigger the LM-2. Ideally, you want sounds with sharp attacks and instant decays. I finish off the video with a pattern based on Don Henley's "Sunset Grill".
Be sure to subscribe to be notifed of future videos! Thanks for watching!"

Made by commonsound (the 4ms guy), it's basically the "drum trigger" model with an extension bypass stomp, so you can use it as a guitar pedal, or tabletop. Also has stereo outs, bypass flipswitch (so you can turn it on or off without the footswitch), range switch, and a clean aux input. That's $165 in extras! Plus it comes with a power supply. Now why am I selling it so cheap? First, like I said, I need money. Second, I had trouble getting it to work like a ringmod. There's a crack in the enclosure around the input jack, so that might be the source of the problem. I got it to work properly once or twice, but most of the time it's just a clean blend.

NAMM: Eowave at NAMM: Discover the KOMA!!!!!

"This year, Eowave is attending the NAMM 2012 and will announce the release of the KOMA! 2011 has been full of new releases with the Ribbon, a monosynth/USB/audio controller and the release of the little analogue synth DOMINO in November. We'll show the KOMA [no relation to KOMA Electronik], an analog bassline synth with memory and a 16 step sequencer that will be ready to ship very very soon!

, a step back into the 80s with a touch of 2012...

KOMA is an analog sequenced bass synthesizer inspired by classic synths from the 1980s with a synthesis section with 256 sound presets and 256 patterns and a step sequencer section.

The synthesis section offers the possibility to mix 4 different waveforms (saw, square, sub, noise) for infinite modulations. The SUB DESYNC mode enables to desynchronize and to detune the SUB and the main oscillator for complex sounds. The filter is a 24 dB resonant low-pass filter. The LFO has 8 waveforms (triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, random, digital noise, staircase up, staircase down) and can modulate the VCO, VCF or PWM.
To this particular analog sound of the 80s, we added a touch of modernity with controls and parameters to save compositions and performances. The 16 step sequencer has 4 sections: 1 for the notes and 3 freely assignable to a parameter of your choice to create living sequences with sonorities like Vince Clark or Jan Hammer.

With 256 sound presets and 256 patterns locations, the KOMA is a versatile instrument for live performance as well as a powerful composition and sound design tool. Its very intuitive control panel allows the user to edit all parameters in real-time.

Details on the KONEKO MIDI to CV (KOE will follow):

"Hello world it is the KONEKO eurorack module, it is an affordable Midi to CV converter (Volt per Octave), it is 14HP width and needs +/- 12V, +5V power.

Main features:
CV1 PITCH output 0 to +5 Volt range (5 octaves) it comes from a very accurate 12 bit resolution (4096 steps) digital to analog converter DAC, which translates the incoming midi note messages to voltage. It also responds to the pitch bend or pitch wheel control, according to the midi standard it has a range of +/- two half steps.

Glide effect, it affects the CV1 PITCH output.

Gate output 0 or +5 Volt. it has a red LED that indicates when there is an active gate signal.

CV2 output 0 to +5 Volt range, it comes from a 7 bit resolution (128 steps) digital to analog converter, it can be easily set to output the velocity or any controller CC from the midi device.

Anyone know more about this one? It could be an organ. It seems vaguely familiar but I couldn't find a previous post on it. Giving this one a title that is sure to show up in the site's search results. BTW, FFFFOUND! is just an image sharing sight. The image comes from tumblr, but I wasn't able to back track to the source. It does appear real and not photoshopped.

Update: It's the The Subharchord. Via Atomic Shadow in the comments.

"In the course of extensive research on the history of electronic music instruments, in 2000 Manfred Miersch, a Berlin artist and musician, made a truly remarkable discovery: the trautonium is not the only instrument of its kind; another exists that produces subharmonic sounds — the “subharchord”. As described above, this instrument was invented in the GDR, under difficult technical conditions but using the latest technology available. However, the subharchord differs from the mixturtrautonium in key respects. The subharchord has a keyboard and is played like an organ whereas the mixturtrautonium’s manual is a resistor wire over a metal plate, which is pressed at various points to create sound (like a ribbon-controller), a rather difficult procedure. In addition, the subharchord possesses considerably more possibilities than the mixturtrautonium for generating and manipulating sounds..."

MFB Nanozwerg Analogue Synth

via this auction
"MFB-NANOZWERG

* analogue VCO with four waveform shapes
* sub-oscillator with two octave settings
* analogue multimode-filter with 12dB/oct
* LFO with “one-shot” functionality
* audio-input
* controllable by MIDI and CV/Gate

Size doesn’t always matter. Despite its compact dimensions, NANOZWERG is a full-featured monophonic analogue synthesizer. With VCO, an additional sub-oscillator and its 12dB-slope-multimodefilter, NANOZWERG offers multiple bass- and lead-sounds. In addition, NANOZWERG offers a noise-generator and also works as an effects-processor using its external audio-input.

Here is an overview to NANOZWERG’s configuration:

The analogue VCO generates four waveform shapes: Triangle, saw tooth, rectangle and needle-impulse. The base pitch can be switched over a four-octave-range, while fine-tune can be specified within a range of one octave. The sub-oscillator with two mixable octave settings completes the NANOZWERG’s sound foundation. The noise generator can alternatively replace the sub-oscillator to create non-harmonic sounds. Finally, a glide-control can be used to tie notes with portamento.

The state-variable multimode-filter runs with 12dB slope per octave and offers Lo-, Hi- and Bandpass-modes as well as notch-filtering and resonance up to self-oscillation. Cutoff can be modulated manually, by LFO and by the ADSR-envelope simultaneously. In addition, pitch-dependent cutoff-frequency can be achieved using the key follow function. Finally, LFO modulation can be replaced by the VCO output signal.

The LFO offers four waveform shapes including sample & hold as well as a one-shot-function, where the selected waveform is played only once after a gate-trigger, thus imitating a simple envelope. Besides the cutoff-frequency, the LFO can also modulate the pitch or the VCO rectangle’s pulse width.

The ADSR-envelope allows modulation of the filter’s cutoff-frequency and the VCA-output, with positive or negative excursion. Selectively, the VCA can also be opened by a gate-trigger to free the envelope for exclusive filter use.

For integration into a modular system or use with an analogue sequencer, NANOZWERG offers several control inputs. There is CV/Gate for pitch control and note length as well as CV-inputs for cutoff-control, the VCA and LFO speed. The LFO also offers CV-output.

The audio-input allows signals to be fed into the VCF and VCA. NANOZWERG can be controlled by MIDI from any compatible keyboard or DAW. Note commands are received as well as pitch-wheel (+/- 2 semitones) and modulation-wheel data, the latter controlling the filter’s cutoff frequency.

MFB’s NANOZWERG has the following dimensions: 140 x 130 x 35 mm.External power supply included."
