System 1000M Modular Kontakt Synth Review

Published on May 2, 2013 SoundsAndGear·494 videos

"Checking out a new product from Tronsonic and Synthmagic called the System 1000M which is an analog modular synthesizer for Kontakt. It was sampled through valve tube equipment directly to tape and it has tons of character and warmth.

Expanders for Turing Machine Random Looping Sequencer

Published on May 2, 2013 Tom Whitwell·30 videos

"Two DIY expander modules for the RLS from Music Thing Modular. Pulses produces seven pulse outputs, related to the master clock and controlled by the main module. Voltages (with the faders) is an eight step sequencer where multiple steps can be active at once, creating very unpredictable patterns.

Patch details:
One pulse output is pulsing the white noise from the RLS module through a QMMG low pass gate, creating the kick drum sound at the start.
The two outputs (normal and inverted) from the voltages module are going into a A156 quantizer, then into two sizes of a DPO oscillator. Each time the note changes, the sine wave outputs are gated through the QMMG.
One more output from the pulse module is triggering the FM bus on the DPO, causing the bleeps and bloops."

Moog Ladder Filter Poster Commemorating Bob Moog's Induction to the Inventor's Hall of Fame

via The Bob Moog Foundation on Facebook

"Commemorating Bob's induction last night into the Inventors Hall of Fame, we celebrate the legendary low-pass filter."

"Moog Ladder Filter Poster

$14.00

Created to celebrate Bob Moog's induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame (May 2, 2013), this 11" x 17" poster focuses on the module that helped define the legendary "Moog Sound" — the 1967 R.A. Moog 904-A Low Pass Filter. The patent, granted in 1969, that earned Bob Moog his induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame outlined the technology present in this filter.
The poster is a combination of the original patent graphic combined with a stellar photo taken by art photographer Shaun Hollingsworth. The module itself was lent to us very graciously by the amazing musician Erik Norlander. It is a part of his truly staggering Wall of Doom Moog modular synthesizer."

Minibrute controlling a MiniMoog Model D - Ableton live

Published on May 1, 2013 Micah Moses·30 videos

"Using the QMVS-48 S-Trig cable from Synthesizers.com for the Gate ( with a Mono 1/4 to mono 1/8 adapter since the minibrute uses minijacks) and a ad infinitum cable for the pitch to control a 1976 MiniMoog. Works pretty well and sequences well from Ableton.
Being able to use hardware with a DAW opens things up.

also the sequence at the end is a NIN bassline from SIN. I did not adjust for for latency.
Any comments or something i missed or are totally ignorant about please let me know"

"For sale here is a Prophet VS rack. These racks are very rare, not many are still in existence and working. This one is a great shape, you can still easily read the LCD screen. It is fully functional. It has one mod: the slider cap was replaced with a more easily moveable rubber slider cap, to prevent it from breaking off. The original cap tended to be more difficult to use and would break frequently. I do have the original cap as well, so that will be included. Included in this auction is the Prophet VS rack, original manual, power cable, and RAM catridge model 240 to save and load patches. These RAM cartridges are also quite rare. The VS is an amazing ambient soundtrack sculpting tool, nothing sounds like it..."

Paia Strings N' Things Model 1550

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Strings N' Things synth has 2 outs, one mix (Piano and Strings mixed together) and Piano (just piano). The string tones are a pad, and vary from a cello sound, to a violin sound. Definitely has that old analog vibe to it. With the ability to control the mix of piano and strings on the Mix Out, you can dial in some sweet sounds. The tuning on this sounds like a circuit bend and makes for some cool effects. It's been tested and is fully working, but the Mix out is noisy. The piano out, is about as quiet as it can be. All the pots are working and all the controls work. The highest G sharp and B keys are dead. It might just be a simple fix..."  More pics of the inside below.

Interesting serial number. It looks a bit etched in the bottom pic. Via the seller's listing: "This is an original Mini Moog. Serial number T235JE. I can't date it from the number, I can only find from 1000 up, somebody email me if you know it's year please. The wooden casing could be mistaken for new, there is virtually no wear and tear. I have turned it on and checked what i know about it. There are three oscillators and they all give sound, and the tuning works. The keys all seem to work. This synth has been stored since new and hasn't been mistreated. I am a guitarist that bought it many years ago with the intention of playing it but it never happened, i also don't understand the controls on it..."

P12 playthrough - peter dyer

"Here's a play-thru of some sounds I made on a DSI Prophet 12 while it was in my possession. This synth can go extremely deep or simply sweet. For my purposes, I think I tend to lean more on the modern electro-indie/pop side, taking advantage of the P12's warbly dirt or sharp grit. I encourage you to check out the rest of my Soundcloud too for more music.

No midi, no polish, just a quick play-thru of some patches I made. Everything you hear is coming from the stereo outs of the P12. Some sounds are stacked or split using the P12's layer function. Future-synth, modern classic. Enjoy! www.peterdyer.net"

Astral Dreamer Kujashi patches - demo#2

Published on May 2, 2013 HGFSynthesizer·32 videos

"Astral Dreamer Demo #2 - Patches & track by Kujashi

Astral Dreamer opens up a new era in the special sound of HGFortune synthesizers!
Each oscillator has got an Additional Harmonics Shaper (AHS) to enrich sound in generating shapeable upper harmonics from the selected wave.
The character of this additional sound ranges from rich choruslike to metallic sounds and can be mixed to the original wave.
Also there are dedicated routing options starting right at the oscillators which can be routed to one of the two filters or the flanger.
So you can have a dedicated soundmodifier for each oscillator allowing a wide variety of multicoloured sounds within a single patch."

Squidfanny - METATRON CUBE 2 Weirdy DSP Synthesizer (May 2013).

Published on May 2, 2013 squidfanny·139 videos
squidfanny on eBay (RSS)

"Built using a load of DIY Circuitry & an old Alesis Microverb FX unit. This thing is Mental!

Tons of nice sounds, tons of nasty sounds, loads of weirdness & enough uniqueness to consume weeks of precious time exploring :)

So what's going on in this vid?

Well mainly an orgy of very weird electronic noise, generated by Glitch & Modifications on the Microverb, and modulated using the Step-Sequencer.
The Metatron also has a weird Loop-Sampler added to it's arsenal of mods. There's metal touch-points, and a Microphone. Lot's of knobs and switches & plenty of beloved Metal Bolts for patchable Glitch effects and new sounds.

I've spent most of this vid focusing on the crazy sounds, but there's plenty of sublime and pleasing sounds/effects on this device. The Gated Delay is a nice feature, and the Reverbs love the sequencer pitch modulation and bolts :)

Now that it's finished I just wanna make another... Next version's gonna have a bigger case, so that I can explore some additional sequencer mods. Possibly a wireless Mic too.

Time will tell :)"

research: The sound of bad reception

Published on May 1, 2013 wouter van Veldhoven·12 videos

"This is just to give some insight into how I search for noises and sounds for my recordings: this is the sound of a broken valve radio being modulated by the turning on and off of the old television right next to it (frequency is controlled by the doepfer system). No idea how this works exactly, possibly the radio picking up oscillations from the deflection coils.
I was planning to record a neat track after this experiment but of course turning an old television on and off with this frequency doesn't do it much good... it died a few minutes after recording this...
luckily I recorded it all on tape so I can make some loops for techno tracks.."
