Yusynth Modular First Flight


YouTube Uploaded by GoldenCardiganCult on Mar 13, 2012

"This is a quick video of the maiden voyage of my DIY modular synth.

Most of the modules are Yusynth designs, but it also includes a few Paia, CGS and Ian Fritz designs.

The patch is fairly straight foward. The two randomized sequences are generated by Reaktor (via a Paia MIDI2CV). A Kurzweil Mangler is adding a small amount of Delay.

About 2:05 you will hear the second VCO frequency modulated by an Ian Fritz Chaos module.

A big thanks to all of the DIY synth community, but especially the Yusynth designer Yves Usson. His designs are brilliant and sound unbelievably good! Hopefully this video does them justice.

Thanks for watching!"

Some additional info:

"The modules are:

Yusynth
2 x VCOs
2 x Filters (Steiner and EMS)
VCA
Mixer
Balanced Modulator
Random (S&H and Noise)
LFO
ADSR

Paia MIDI2CV and Triple VCA
CGS Joystick and MFOS buffered multiples (Voltage Distribution II schematic)
Ian Fritz Chaos (ChaQuo without the quadrature LFO)"

SimpleSeq MIDI Sequencer


YouTube Uploaded by treynorm89 on Feb 21, 2012
Not to be confused with SympleSeq with a "y" instead of an "i".

"This project was based off of Michael Roebbeling's SimplenZAR (http://www.roebbeling.de/wordpress/?p=85), which I modified and made my own. Below is a list of the changes I made and features I added.

For the hardware, I...

* added another button for navigation
- [left]-[enter]-[right] instead of [select]-[enter]
* embedded the microcontroller and power supply in the circuit
* used higher power LEDs with 220 Ohm current-limiting resistors

For the firmware, I...

* rewrote the "loop" section of the code, so the device is constantly checking for user input (every 10ms) - not just when notes are played
- the original device would "freeze" in between every note, which became a problem at slower tempos
* added the ability to navigate forward and backward through steps and menus
* added the ability to play two notes simultaneously (aka. two-note polyphony)
* added the ability to store presets (three total) in EEPROM
* added the ability to use the knob to control eight user-defined MIDI CC functions (eg. filter cutoff frequency, resonance, portamento, etc.)
* added the ability to mute all notes
- helpful when assigning MIDI CC functions in Ableton, etc.
* changed the way tempo is set (using BPM, rather than milliseconds of delay), and set its range to 60-300BPM
* changed the way new notes start
- repeats the previous note, instead of always playing a 'C'
- keeps the user/audience from hearing a wrong note when adding to the sequence if 'C' is not in-key
* simplified some parts of the original code (although, I'm sure parts of my code could be written more simply)

Here is my code: http://pastebin.com/Dg9SPRMc

No schematic or PCB just yet."

Bach on Modular Synth BWV 886 praeludium and fuga A flat major


YouTube Uploaded by powerofthetruth on Feb 20, 2012

"Played with a YUSYNTH modular synth, built by Pavel Vancura, Synthservice.cz in Prague.
The synthesizers gives you the great possibility of creating each voice really independent with a different sound. Specially for the fugas this is great. Played and recorded by Daniel Philipp Stotz, see www.DanielPhilippStotz.info. The complete 2. vol of Bach "the well tempered clavier" is recorded (BWV 870 - 893) on 2 CDs, but still I am looking for a distribution."

"The monster percussion synthesizer. Features a complex architecture allowing for a wide range of hi-hat, cymbal and snare drum sounds. Six independently tunable oscillators are ring modulated together and mixed with a variable amount of white noise. This is fed through a multimode filter selectable for LP/BP/HP operation and then through a VCA. A complete synthesizer in a module.

Controls:
Envelope decay - sets decay of envelope
Envelope damper - controls envelope damper
Balance - mixes noise and oscillator section
Impact level - determines level of attack impact
Filter frequency - sets intial frequency of filter
Filter resonance - controls filter resonance
Filter envelope- sets amount of envelope sent to filter frequency from negative to null to positive
Filter LPF/BPF/HPF switch - determines filter response
Filter mod- level of external CV to VCF
Oscillator 1-6 frequencies - set frequencies of oscillator section

I/O:
Trigger input - triggers Cynare
Sustain input - triggers envelope damper
Filter CV input - external filter frequency input
Mix output - pre-VCF/VCA Noise/Osc output
Filter audio I/O - filter in and out normalled to Mix out and VCA respectively

"Rare and out of production MFB Synth II Analog synth, with 2 octave mini keyboard and 16 step sequencer. If you're looking you probably know what this synth is about, but I can say it is an amazing synth that delivers Moog bass type tones, has a 16 step sequencer on board that will transpose as it plays with a keyboard button press and is in perfect condition. You won't find one closer to new than this... It comes with the original box, manual and power supply. "

via this auction

"For more information on the synth please see http://ericarcher.net/devices/drone-commander/

With a total of 9 knobs, the Drone Commander offers two manually-tuned oscillators and two LFOs, plus an unusually colorful and nasty filter. LFO1 is an analog variable-shape oscillator, and LFO2 is a pulse waveform that auto-synchronizes to LFO1 at a ratio of 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x. Both LFOs can be routed to the filter for rhythmic patterns. A line-level output jack is provided for connection to amplifiers or effects.

Six of the Drone Commander’s nine knobs double as push-pull switches to control signal routing and waveform selection. Scroll to the bottom of this page to view the control layout.

The Drone Commander is housed in a dark green military ammunition case with engraved aluminum control panel. The case is welded steel with an easily removable, rubber gasketed lid. There is almost no plastic in the drone commander! It measures 10″(w) x 7″(h) x 3.5″(d), and weighs about 6 lbs.The unit is powered by a 9V battery accessible through a slide-out drawer in the side, as well as a 9VDC adapter.

Filter CV input (0-10V) and clock pulse output (+8V) are now standard features."

KORG M-500 MICRO-PRESET SN 771021


via this auction

"On the face of it, this is a simple little preset synth, but it is capable of making some classic sounds and can be very expressive - it's a really enjoyable synth to play. I understand that these synths contain the classic Korg35 filter chips that were used in the MS series synths, and certainly this can sound very like an MS-10. Experimentation can yield surprising results (particularly that you can press two preset buttons at once to mix the sounds) - the two Synthe buttons allow further tonal shaping using the manual filter and modulation depth controls. OMD used it extensively, as did Human League - add a little delay/reverb/phasing and this little synth can sound very big."

"Here is a short demonstration of polycequencer.
The Polycequencer can contain 10,000 notes for a total of 8 sequences.
I'm at the beginning of this terrible sequencer because, very difficult to understand without a manual.
You can do everything: sequence and polyphonic recording with knobs and then replay all.
Repairs are finished on this Polykobol and soon I still have to recheck all ends to make it working 100%!
In my life of musician, I never met a Polykobol with a sequencer based. I have tested 6 ...
I think this is the only one Poly that I started to repair who have all the options!
The demonstration here is not the most beautiful, but I try to do better later :)
