Steady State Fate - Synth Says Yeah

Published on Nov 19, 2012 by SteadyStateFate
"I asked the PTG if it liked to be messaged by a MATHS and a A-147, it told me 'yeah'. So I did and then filtered its (-)VCA output through a uHC that was also modulated by the PTG (+)VCA output. Yeeeaaaahhh."

Audulus for iPad 1.6.1 Remembers Everything

"Audulus, the modular music processing app for iPad, has been updated to version 1.6.1 with two new features.

'First, we've added Unlimited Undo, so you can revise at any step. And, unlike many other apps, we've designed it so you won't loose your undo history when closing a document, ' says Developer W. Taylor Holliday. 'Audulus remembers everything.'

'Second, in response to a major user request, we've added a Lock mode to prevent nodes from being accidentally moved,' says Holliday. 'Audulus locks it down.'

Audulus for iPad can be used as a stand-alone instrument or in conjunction with Audulus for Mac, for a round-trip workflow between platforms.

Audulus is a minimalist modular software synthesizer and effects processor. With Audulus, users can build synthesizers, design new sounds, or process audio. All with low latency real-time processing suitable for live performance.

The Audulus user interface was inspired by analog guitar pedals: sounds are created or altered by connecting processing nodes. There are no hidden controls, no complex menus. The user begins with a blank canvas, rather than with daunting controls, and can build up to the desired level of sonic complexity.

Audulus for iPad key features:

Fluid Vector Interface – smooth animated interaction
Diverse Nodes – from ADSR to ZeroCross
MIDI Input – use your keyboard controller or control surface
Patch Browser – quickly flip through your patches
Unlimited Undo – stored in your patch
Multitouch Keyboard
Round-trip workflow with Audulus for Mac
32-bit floating point signal processing

Audulus is available on the App Store for a limited-time price of $19.99. For more information, visit audulus.com."

What is That Synth Worth?

Some good news on the eBay front.  eBay now appears to keep ended auction listings all the way back through 2011!  One question I commonly get is how much I think a given synth is worth.  The answer is it depends on condition, supply and demand, and who's looking, but the easiest thing to do is to see what it went for on eBay.  The problem until now was that eBay only kept ended listings up for 90 days.  Well, it appears they have now made listings available all the way back through 2011.  If you are curious what a given synth might fetch, search for it and the word auction on the top left here on MATRIXSYNTH and take a look at some listings.  Remember to sort by date when the results come up if you want to view posts in order.  You can also check out the condition items when for via the pics and descriptions.

Metasonix PT-2 Tube Synth - Extremly Rare:SN# 8 out of 13

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is an extremely rare synthesizer and a serious collectors item. To my knowledge Eric only made 13 of these units and this is serial number 8. I've taken a pic of the Serial Number. I'm hoping this unit goes into a loving synth home where it will be appreciated and honored. This is a synth for the most elitist of synth collectors / geeks ( like me! ) 8-)

As far as I know, Eric personally assembled every PT2 by himself. And it shows, this thing is built like a tank. I've never seen a metal case this sturdy before...

And an FYI: You will need a CV converter for the PT-2. There is no MIDI. You will also probably need to calibrate the synth internally to get it to track to your CV converter.

The PT-2 is a very unusual synth, and is capable of creating some unique timbres that no solid state synth can create. I personally used it with my modular rig and came up with some pretty cool sounds..."

Only 12 Days Left for Bob Moog Foundation Raffle

"Time Running Out to Enter to Win One-of-a-Kind Moogfest Voyager Synthesizer

November 19, 2012 (Asheville, NC) -- There are only 12 days left to enter the Bob Moog Foundation’s raffle for the Minimoog Voyager synthesizer signed by a host of artists and panelists who performed or spoke at Moogfest 2012. The four week raffle began on November 2, 2012 and ends at 11:59pm on November 30, 2012 or until all 700 tickets are sold, whichever comes first. Tickets are $20 each or six for $100 and are available for purchase through the Bob Moog Foundation’s online store. All proceeds benefit the education and historical preservation initiatives of the Foundation. The winner will be drawn on Monday, December 3, 2012.

Donated to the Bob Moog Foundation by Moog Music, Inc., the Moogfest Voyager is the Electric Blue Edition featuring a gorgeous electric blue backlit panel and fractal blue (black with tiny blue specks) solid ash cabinet. The retail price of this award-winning instrument is over $3,500.

The following Moogfest 2012 artists and panelists signed the Voyager, making it a one-of-a-kind collectors item:

Squarepusher, Nas, Ana Sia, Shpongle, Paul and Phil Hartnoll of Orbital, the Magnetic Fields, Santigold, Thomas Dolby, GZA, Richard Devine, Carl Craig, Miike Snow, Les Claypool of Primus, Bear in Heaven, Explosions in the Sky, Morton Subotnick, Richie Hawtin, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Alessandro Cortini, Chad Hugo, Herb Deutsch, and the team that created the Robert Moog Google Doodle, released on May 23, 2012, Moog's 78th birthday.

Ryan Germick, Lead Designer from the Google Doodle team, crafted a miniature replica of the now infamous “Goog” browser synthesizer on the back of the Voyager.

The Minimoog Voyager, designed by Bob Moog himself and released in 2002, is an updated version of the original Minimoog with 21st century advantages to carry the archetype into the future. The Voyager is the definitive American synthesizer, a lovingly hand-crafted, monophonic, monotimbral high performance instrument with enormous sonic range and possibilities. From its famous ladder filters to its innovative Touch Surface Controller, the Minimoog Voyager is the ultimate in analog. – Moog Music, Inc. website."

"From the manufacturer's website:

The SSL 2260 Modulation Orgy LFO is the illegitimate Euro cousin to our 1260 Tap Tempo LFO, and is a special module indeed. You can set the LFO frequency by tapping the TAP button, supplying a periodic gate to the SYNC input, or by changing the Tempo CV. You can build tap tempo effects vibratos and tremolos, tap tempo controlled drum machines or tap tempo sequencer clocks. Or use it the other way around - control the 2260 tempo with a sequencer! You can even use multiple 2260s to create polyrhythmic LFOs using the built-in Multiplier ratios. Awesome possibilities!

The 2260 can produce 8 waveforms, including a random (sample & hold) wave.

The Ult Sound DS-4 is an amazing Analog Drum Machine composed of 4 Oscillators which can be triggered from the Voltage Control Inputs either all Oscillators at once or each Oscillator individually, each Oscillator section is capable of producing a wide range of different sounds from Bass Drums, Snares, Cymbals, Etc, as well as all kinds of space sounds & other very complex sounds which made this Analog Drum Machine famous for those particular sounds at the time.

There were two models of these units made, the "BLACK" faced model which was the most common and the "CUSTOM" Model which is the hardest to find usually sell for over $ 3,100 but I am only selling mine for $ 2,650 shipping included because Christmas is coming and wanna buy some new stuff in my studio.

Uploaded by PartikkelAudio on Feb 16, 2012

"The Hadron plugin is your ultimate granular synthesis tool. In fact it is such a complete implementation of granular synthesis we’ve renamed the technique to particle synthesis. The plugin is of course free and open source.

The Hadron Particle Synthesizer was released in 2011 as a Max for Live device, now available for a broader range of music production hosts via the VST and AU plugin formats.

We can still proudly announce Hadron as a unique crossbred beast that can assume the role of synthesizer, sampler or audio effect, all while being able to seamlessly morph between these different sound processing methods, so you can take the plugin gradually from being a synthesizer to an audio effect for live input. At the core of this unique morphing capability lies an extremely versatile processing engine based on granular synthesis. In fact Hadron is such a complete implementation of granular synthesis we’ve renamed the technique to particle synthesis."

Tuning fork oscillator


Published on Nov 19, 2012 by organfairy

"This is not exactly musical. But still there must be some way that it can be used for musical purposes.
Anyway, the tuning fork oscillator was often used in clocks and other places where frequency stability was important before the crystal oscillator became common. I found an old tuning fork that looked like it had been used for this purpose in a second hand or junk sale some years ago. I decided to try and make the driving system for such a device and this is the result.

The idea is that two electro magnets are connected to an amplifier - one to the input, the other to the output - and when they are brought together with a tuning fork in the middle the whole thing will start to oscillate - just as if you put a microphone too close to the speaker in a PA system. But since the tuning fork can only oscillate at one frequency this will determine the oscillation.

The music is something I made a while ago using Yamaha HE-8 and Technics SX-C600 organs, Roland JX-8P synthesizer, and Roland CR-68 analogue drum machine."
