Subatomic Software Updates Audulus to v1.5.2

"Subatomic Software Updates Audulus to v1.5.2 - Satisfies #1 User Request

Subatomic Software has announced the release of Audulus 1.5.2, an important update for its modular synthesis app for OS X available on the Mac App Store.

'We've addressed the number-one user request,' explains W. Taylor Holliday, Founder of Subatomic Software. 'Power users with many Plug-ins were finding that the radial menu would not fit in the screen. So, for the Plug-ins menu we now use a standard pop-up menu.'

Version 1.5.2 also improves the Audio Unit version so it can run as a software instrument in more hosts. 'Users will now be able to use Audulus as a software instrument in Ableton Live – another frequent request,' says Holliday.

Audulus now comes with two Audio Unit Plug-ins: one as an effect, and another as a software instrument.

With Audulus, users can build synthesizers, design new sounds, or process audio. All with low latency, real-time processing suitable for live performance.

Connect a MIDI keyboard, or use Audulus as a guitar pedalboard.

Audulus 1.5.2 updates:

- Uses standard pop-up menu to handle large collections of Plug-ins.

- Improves Audio Unit compatibility

- Improves OS X 10.8 compatibility for the Audio Unit version.

- Reduces CPU usage of the Oscillator node.

Audulus is available on the Mac App Store for $29.99. For more information, visit audulus.com."

Unreleased music suite - Cosmos Special Edition 1986 by Vangelis

Some Yamaha CS80 in there. If anyone knows the full setup, feel free to comment.

You can search for Vangelis up above or on the right for previous posts including pics and additional videos.

"Here's something very rare: a suite of unreleased music Vangelis composed for the special edition of Carl Sagan's Cosmos in 1986, the tv documentary serie that originally started already in 1980. The suite is compiled from 6 Movement songs. I omitted the sixth movement since it's the same as the only song that is commercially released as Comet 16.

The music is absolutely gorgeous. Vangelis uses both crystal clear digital synthesizers and his famous old analogues as well... absolutely fabulous combination of both worlds. It's incredible luck for us all that these movements saw the daylight.

Please enjoy the vast world of our Cosmos!"

"This is an as-is auction. The item will arrived as described. I will not accept returns for this item. Only purchase this item if you are willing to accept my terms and conditions. If you have buyer's remorse, it is not my responsibility to return or exchange the item. Only buy this item if you are sure you want it and you understand what it does. Thanks.

For Sale: A Moody Sounds Baby Box noise / drone synth. These don't come around the states very often -- and when they do, it's usually a retail store or a private seller asking for an arm and a leg. This was built by Moody Sounds, engraved with a production number.

Great chance to own a truly unique synth.

Condition: Very minor cosmetic wear, but I would consider this mint. There are various imperfections that come with a handmade device, so expect finish flaws, etc.

Function: This hand-made noise / drone synth works 100 percent as it should. I will admit, it's functions are a bit alien at first, but you'll get the hang of it eventually.

Notes: You are bidding on the Baby Box only. This unit runs off a minimum of (-) 9 volts (Boss style or One spot adapter will work.)"

Two ROMs are onboard, each containing 256 waveforms in 16 banks. Waves may be smoothly
morphed or violently jumped in two dimensions.

Given that this is one of my favorite oscillators in my system I thought I would start conducting some sonic experiments to explore this modules capabilities, quirks and character.

Practical Electronics String Ensemble

"These were sold in kit for in 1978 in the Practical electronics magazine. Boards were made by CLEF electronics who made various kit synths

Being sold as a restoration project as there are some parts missing and it does not function correctly. From what i can see the only parts missing are the 2 wooden end pieces that fill the gaps at the ends of the keys, a couple of slider caps, slider shaft missing, 1 x i.c on the chorus board is corroded and pins broke when i tried to remove from the socket. Other than that it looks complete

The mains cable wants replacing as it has got very worn, for safety this must be changed. I have powered on and the power light comes on, connected to an amp and the keys trigger some sounds but all a bit hit and miss on triggering. This will be down to key contacts being dirty i think.

nice little project as i am sure all of the components are standard and easily available now"

WATKINS (WEM) COPICAT Mk2 Rare Sixties Valve/Tube Tape Echo

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction
See the seller's other items for more.

"Offered for sale here is a valve (tube) Mk2 Copicat from the sixties in reasonable cosmetic condition and excellent working order (for a 40-50 year-old valve tape echo). It has had a full service including, head cleaning/alignment/demagnetising, replacement of the capacitors, earthed three core mains cable fitted, and valves tested and replaced where appropriate.

Compared to the later IC Copicats the valve units don't usually produce such clear echoes, even when in good order (bear in mind the heads are 45 plus years old). This sounds lovely both as a pre-amp and as an echo unit. All three heads work well and sound excellent - good strong repeats that break up in an evocative fashion, and run into self-oscillation when the 'reverb' knob is turned up for authentic dub effects. The echoes have a good tone for an old valve Copicat and degrade with a dark crunchy quality - they cannot be desribed as accurate repeats as this is not a digital delay, but they have a sound and vibe that is most pleasing and create a unique effect that sounds 'right'.

These valve Copicats make great preamps, and are increasingly sought-after to add character and warmth to modern digital recordings (the Arctic Monkeys used a valve Copicat when recording their recent 'Suck It And See' album - see Sound On Sound magazine July 2011), as a result they are becoming harder to find, especially in good working order.

It has a trailing socket for footswitch operation and works with any normal footswitch (not included): the added advantage of this is that the footswitch socket carries the wet-only signal for use as an effects send via a mixing desk in the studio - the repeats don't self oscillate from this output unless you feed the signal back via the desk. This makes for a great character dealy when mixing, and is good for authentic dub effects.

The case is in reasonable order for its age, there is some damage as you'd expect and the original plastic grilles are long-gone but it has appropriate replacements.

It's fitted with a new genuine WEM tape - these are easy to bulk buy online, but if the winning bidder wants some couple of spares, please message us for prices/quantities. For best performance tape loops should be changed regularly. We can supply tape loops in greater quantities if required. We use/supply genuine WEM loops, still manufactured/supplied by Copicat designer/manufacturer Charlie Watkins, as well as loops from MyTapeEcho."

Handel Modular fuga F-major HWV 611

YouTube Published on Aug 9, 2012 by powerofthetruth

"This is an early fuga of Handel. If you compare f.e. the fuga h-minor HWV 608, which is a much later work, you may hear the development of Handel.
It is performed on YUSYNTH modular synth, hand-made by Synthservice.cz in Prague by Pavel Vancura.
In the 80s I had an ARP 2600, which unfortunately I had to sell, now this synth is very similar to it: 3 VCO, noise generator, 2 VCF, mixer and S/H, 3 ADSR and 2 VCA.
With this synth I also recorded the whole well tempered clavier of Bach. More info please refer to http://www.danielphilippstotz.info/"
