Tiptop Audio BD909 Details


"The name might be misleading because, yes in some knob positions you will get the classic 909 kick, but there is way more in there, it's really a little bass drum lab with a lot of sweet spots. It can go low, high/smooth/harsh, and anywhere in between; it can also go weird with the VC inputs. If you are used to the BD808 then this will take a bit to get used to because it is a different beast, although with some adjustment you might get close sounds. The pcb is very dense with a lot of circuitry and it wasn't easy to fit all that in there but it sure was worth the challenge. We are making a short run for Christmas that's starting to ship today, but will have more ready to ship in January.

Features:

Output Level - 0 - 10V

Original 909 Attack control

Extended 909 Decay control for more umphhh

New controls for the oscillator tuning:

Attack tune

Decay Tune - these two will have an effect on each other which makes it really cool

Global Oscillator Tune control - this sets an offset for the oscillator, sets the starting frequency for the envelope

VC-Tune with attenuator (can go over a wide range)

Overload knob - might not be everyone's cup of tea, what it does is overload the sine shapers which adds harmonics and some extra punch, it's an aggressive effect.

VC - Overload - Can be CV or even audio

Accent in - can be with a pulse or CV 0 - 5V

Accent Attenuator

Gate in

Price: $170

Size: 8HP"

NoiseTheorem - A New Cycle & Dust by NoiseTheorem


Published on Dec 21, 2012 by Tony Scharf

"The world only ended for those who made profit from the Mayan calendar stupidity. Meanwhile, I am starting a new 'cycle' of my own in working on beginning work on my next album.

You can find my recent release, Dust, on BandCamp (http://noisetheorem.bandcamp.com/album/dust) as well as iTunes, CDBaby and Amazon

This is my first attempt at a performance video, and I have no good tools for this. Please be kind."

"Your hearing the Makenoise DPO modulated by a Hertz Donut and into Makenoise EchoPhone. The feedback loop on the Echo is patched through a Bubble Sound SEM20 filer. An Axe-FX is being used for basic chorus and reverb. Sequencing is the Doepfer DarkTime. There is some manipulation of VCAs and the like in there too."





"Have you ever really though about time? Not just seconds or minutes or hours, but deep time - timescales where a million years is a blink of an eye. Have you ever thought about how truly old you are?

We are a conglomeration of dust from perhaps millions of dead stars, galaxies apart. When our star dies and blasts our little speck of planet back out into the universe, it will be just another renewal. Like blowing the dust off a table so that it can settle once again.

We are dust.

ILLUMIRINGER Circuit Bent Guitar Modification Installation Overview

ILLUMIRINGER Circuit Bent Guitar Modification Installation Overview

I have been getting a bunch of emails from people out there who want to do the circuit bent guitar modification to their guitar, but want to know more about how it's done. SO... I made this video to help show everyone how SIMPLE it is to install. It's easy! Drill the holes for the off board wired components (switch, control knob etc). Remove the pre-existing guitar jack output wires (signal / ground). Solder the ILLUMIRINGER's input cables to the guitar output cable. Then solder the ILLUMIRINGER'S output cable to the guitar jack..... DONE!

If you have any questions about what I am talking about in the video, want to purchase a kit, or have me install one for you.... feel free to drop me a line.... and of course... as always.... please subscribe and leave comments if you like what you are seeing here and would like to see more.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!"

Future Retro's Next Product - the DB Mastering Processor


Future Retro's next product is not a synth or sequencer, but rather a mastering processor.

"Austin, TX, December 21, 2012—Not even the Mayans could have predicted what Future Retro would do next…. From reviving the acid scene with the 777 synthesizer to releasing the multifunctional Mobius and Orb step sequencers, the innovative circular Revolution, and powerful semi-modular XS, Future Retro has remained true to its vision of delivering high-quality instruments at an affordable price to everyone from home-studio musicians and DJs to chart-topping artists, engineers, and film score composers around the world.

Now, 15 years after its 777 debut, Future Retro ventures into the realm of pro-audio recording hardware with the db, a mastering processor designed for transparent routing and monitoring of all your audio. As the nexus for the modern recording environment, this multifunctional device can be used for tracking, summing, and mastering of your audio tracks, as well as full control of your monitoring system.

Connect mics, instruments, audio interfaces, hardware processors, and monitors to the db and enjoy having access to all your studio gear, in one spot. All inputs and outputs are fully balanced, and internal signal routing is 99 percent balanced for the lowest possible noise.

Highlights of the db:

• Fully balanced inputs and outputs
• Signal levels > +28dBu
• Quick selection of tracking, playback, summing, and mastering modes
• 16 Channels of fully balanced passive summing, with 8 channels individually selectable between mono/stereo
• 8 Stereo insert channels with hard bypass switching
• Mid/side processing with Width control
• Parallel processing with Pre/Post control
• Mix switch lets you quickly turn on or off parallel processing or A/B the pre/post signals of the buss
• Latency-free monitoring of audio from your DAW
• Track control independently adjusts monitoring level of your DAW backing tracks
• Stepped Monitor control for consistent mixing at ideal levels
• Comprehensive monitor section for 3 pairs of speakers
• Illuminated front-panel switches with customizable labels for personalized, visual feedback of all active functions
• High-quality components from precision matched resistors, custom sealed metal-shaft pots with conductive plastic elements, high-voltage relays, gold XLR, and industry-standard DB-25 connectors

Each db is hand-assembled and soldered in-house, right here in the USA, to assure the highest standard in quality.

The db ($2,500) will begin shipping in limited quantities in early 2013. Pre-orders are now being taken.

For additional information, complete specifications, the db manual, and images, visit:

1976 ARP 2600 with Original Leather Cases & ARP's Old Number

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Dec 14, 2012 by MechHandlingSystems


via this auction

"Along with the owner's manual and Patch Book, it has a copy of a 2-page hand-written note detailing setup, trim, VCO and VCF calibration and keyboard calibration. The best part of this is the sloppy market notation at the bottom of page 2,

"IF YOU GET IN TROUBLE, CALL:
CLARK FERGUSON OR PHILIP DODDS
965-9700"

Clark Ferguson was ARP's service department manager, and Philip Dodds was VP of engineering. These notes are likely written in Philip Dodds' hand. He was an interesting guy that ended up having a featured role in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" after Spielberg saw him setting up a 2500 to do the big "dum dum dum DUM DAAAAA" thing.

MECHANICS

It is the 2601 V1.0, with the improved jacks that won't flake out and the better sliders. It is the most mechanically advanced ARP 2600 model that still contains the legendary 4012 ladder-type filter that was built too close to Moog's patents for their comfort (an actual lawsuit was never filed)

It comes with the duo phonic 3620 keyboard. Serial numbers match and are in the low 300s.

There is a broken slider at the bottom center of the main panel, although it works and can be adjusted by hand. I am looking for the replacement slider and knob I purchased and hope to include it in the auction. See pictures for detail.

A few of the sliders have scratch. See the video for an example of that.

ELECTRONICS

As just mentioned, it has the 4012 filter. Now, some of these are epoxied and gross. Some of them are copper clad but with sloppy brazing. But some … well, some glow like a beating heart pumping astounding signals through its soldered veins and arteries. This one is like that.

It also has the UN-encapsulated 4027-1 VCOs, which are necessary if you plan to do certain mods.

It also has a mod for a Mediamix Joystick, which I just learned thanks to Phil at CMS and have never looked for one. I have a picture of one for the winner. Owning a Synthi AK I can tell you joysticks are pretty nice to have on your synthesizer!

The capacitors on the power supply are 35 years old and should be replaced soon, according to a bunch of people that seem to feel very strongly about it. CMS sells a power supply you can install yourself, if you're into that kind of thing, for $169."
