Squidfanny - Circuit Bent MONOTRIBE with R-50 & VCO Mute (march 2013).

Published on Mar 22, 2013

"I love Monotribes, but they do have a few minor flaws. These are now mostly resolved with some simple modifications. This video focus's mainly on the new sounds, features and mods -

VCO Mute - essential mod for using the filter with external audio.

VCO Boost - makes the Monotribe sound more bassey and less squeaky.

Clicks reduced (not removed) - The Monotribes GATE makes loud clicks, which can be a problem. All Monotribes suffer from this bug, even brand new models...
I haven't yet figured out a way to completely remove them, but they can be reduced a little by adding a couple of small capacitors.

loads of new controls for tweaking the Analog Drums.

Drums to VCF switch - allows the Analog drums to be piped into the VCF (Fuck yea!!!)

REZ-MODULATOR - Squelchy modulation between the waveforms and the filter Rez.

Loads of modular outputs added for the drums, waveforms & also trigger outputs.

Look at the mods and photos here -

d16 Group LUSH-101 Part 4: Oscillator Sync

Published on Mar 22, 2013 MusicMarketingTV·479 videos

Trivia question: who programmed the original version of the sync sound in the beginning of the video and on what synth? Where is he now?

"Prof. Don Garbutt takes us on a crazy detour through additive synthesis, complex waveforms and how to survive an attack by a sabre-tooth tiger, to arrive at a lucid description of oscillator sync in the LuSH-101 by d16 Group Audio Software. He also explains the settings in the pitch control section."

"The synthesizer has 1 OSC with 4 wave forms, ADSR , filter, various modulations, vibrato and portamento effects.

OSCILLATOR: tune; octave +1/+2; portamento; wave forms: triangle, saw, square, odd harmonics; frequency modulation (for all 4 waveforms); impulse-width modulation (for square wave form) with impulse width and depth controls; harmonics (for odd harmonics wave form). You can use individual OSC waveforms (triangle, saw, square, odd harmonics) or mix them together to get unique sounds!

LFO: on/off modulation switch, two waveforms (triangle, square), modulation rate, modulation rate coarse switch - 1Hz/10Hz.

FILTER: cutoff, resonance, vibrato (filter modulation), ADSR, switch between filter control- keyboard or contour OSC (ADSR). The synths filter due to it`s original architecture can be used as additional oscillator when filter`s resonance knob in self-oscillaltion position and it sounds really weird and interesting!

AMPLIFIER: ADSR, main volume, on/off synthesizer."

Breath Martenot - Breath driven Pulley/Ring controller - Work in progress.


Published on Mar 22, 2013 Mark Steiner·5 videos

"This is the 2nd prototype of my own version of a Martenot style controller. I decided to expose the pulley loop fully. I find it's pretty interesting/fun to watch the loop and hear the pitch change accordingly. I've had a few ideas about maybe attacking LED's to the pulleys to mix some light up real time. Could be fun.

Usually these kind of instruments (silimart to the Ondes Martenot) use a left hand pressure key for volume/filter brightness. On mine, I am using a Nyle Steiner breath controller, which really makes for smooth dynamics and fast articulation. There are even some parts showing multiple tonguing techniques often used by trumpet and other wind players to tongue fast by saying Tu Ku Tu Ku or Tu Tu Ka.

Special thanks to Nyle Steiner for the great sounding synth oscillators and filters used in this demo. Also thanks to Dana Countryman and Mike Beauchamp for their own expertise and inspiration in relation to instruments like this.

Thanks for listening! See my current classical electronic project at ThePinesofRome.com."

Korg MS-20 - Endless Space Loop HQ

Published on Mar 22, 2013 Newueel·38 videos

"This is a simplified version of the endless space loop patch, which I uploaded some years ago. The part where you could add extra noise using the control wheel has been omitted. Only some delay is added to the sound, no other effects, no mastering.

If you are interested in patch and knob settings, ensure you're watching HQ and check out the knobs whenever you like the sound.
This patch also works on the iMS-20 and the MS-20 legacy software, and of course on the new mini (although, unfortunately I've not been able to test the mini yet).

Some info on the patch:
The modulation generator is functioning as a clock generator, and triggers the main envelope (EG2) continuously. Both of the MG knobs can be used to adjust gate time and clock speed.
The sample and hold module samples random values from pink noise. This is done every clock pulse. The sampled value is used for frequency modulations (OSC + HPF + LPF).

Wanna try it for yourself?
Almost any of the knobs are available for tweaks, so there's a lot of room for your own imagination and creativity. Here are the most important notes/limitations to keep in mind:
- Ensure EG2 hold and release are set to 0. Attack, decay and sustain can be used without a problem.
- EG1 parameters cannot be used since the envelope is used as a clock signal for the S&H module. (All knobs at 0!)
- The MG cannot be used as an LFO (unless you want an LFO with the clock speed)

PS. Since YouTube doesn't support endless movies -and for some other technical reasons-, I decided to record only 5 minutes of the whole piece. Sorry for the misleading title. ;-)

New 4ms Quad Pingable LFO (QPLFO) teaser preview

Published on Mar 22, 2013 4mspedals·73 videos

"New from 4ms: the Quad Pingable LFO (QPLFO).
A 4-channel LFO with tap-tempo, clock-sync (pingable), variable skew, and reset.

This quick patch demonstrates some of the features of the QPLFO. The Quad Clock Distributor clock outputs are driving the ping of each channel of the QPLFO (via a cable in the back). Next, the QPLFO outputs drive the 4 VCAs of the Toppobrillo Mixiplexer (also via a cable connected in the back). The Mixiplexer has four VCOs running into it, that are FM'ing each other. The KOMA Elektronik SVF-201 Vactrol filter is processing the bassline sound. A Brainseed (from Antimatter) is doing the sequence.

**QPLFO Details**
Four independent tap-tempo/clock-syncable LFOs
Each LFO channel has:
-Ping input jack
-Tap tempo button
-On/Mute button (latching)
-Skew CV jack and knob
-Reset jack
-LFO output
-LED to indicate output signal

Q: What is Pingable?
A: The timing of each LFO is set by an external clock (ping) or a Tap Tempo. So if you tap in a tempo and then change the skew (attack/decay ratio) or even give it a reset, the total period and frequency of the LFO will stay the same, keeping your modulations in sync.

Available April 2013 from your favorite modular shop!!

Dubspot brings you a sneak peek at Native Instruments' newest software synthesizer, Monark: a re-creation of classic analog monosynths like the iconic Minimoog Model D.

Dubspot's Matt Cellitti has been working with Monark for awhile and made this sneak preview video for us giving a brief tour of how this synth is laid out and how to use it. He also demos some of the presets to give an idea of the kind of sounds this new/old instrument is capable of."

Roland SBF-325 Stereo Flanger / Chorus with CV

"This is a short video demo of the Roland SBF-323 Stereo Flanger (and chorus) that I'm currently selling on eBay:"


via this auction

"Roland SBF-325 Stereo Flanger & Chorus - it is a rare vintage analog effects unit that was part of the company's 1970s Roland Studio System (RSS) line.

What sets this model apart is the ability to control the unit via CV. As such it can be incorporated into analog modular synthesizer systems, or with more modern sequencers via a MIDI to CV or MOTU Volta. Thus, it works well with applications such as Propellerhead Reason, Ableton Live, Apple Logic 9, etc."

"This classic 70's synth joined me for bar gigs, wedding receptions, and a tour of American army bases in Germany. Now it can be yours. It has the fat bass of its larger Yamaha cousins but is much easier to carry. The 4-voice polyphonic instrument has presets as well as a panel for user-designed sounds. Features 4-function touch sensitivity, pulse width modulation, portamento, glissando, and ring modulation in addition to the expected HPF, LPF, LFO, envelope shaper, etc. A little nicked but still fully functional. Comes in its own sturdy carry case with legs."
