Roland MSQ-700, Bit 99 and TR-505


Published on May 18, 2013 SynthManiaDotCom·243 videos

"Jamming with the Roland MSQ-700, a simple but effective hardware sequencer from 1984. A (Crumar) Bit 99 offers the synth sounds, and a Roland TR-505 provides the beat.
In the days before DAWs, hardware sequencers were often used to build the structure of synth-based songs of the '80s."

Moog Little-Phatty Stage 2 Kick-Drum Samples.



"Four sets of Moog Little-Phatty Filter Kick Drums. Recorded in Ableton. They go from a sub-bass/heartbeat, 707 style, 808 style and 909 style. Four bars per sample, 2 bar samples of 4/4 time beats and single drum-hits in a low C1. Feel free to cut them up and use them for whatever you'd like."

via Bobby Shipe on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"Moog Little Phatty Stage 2 Filter Bass/Kick Drum Samples. Free for anyone who likes them!!!

I tried to go for a 707-ish up to a 909-ish style by micro-adjusting the Overload, EGR and Resonance on the Filter and the Decay, Sustain and Release on the Envelope Generator. If you like them please feel free to download/share them and sample away!!! There's single hits after each section for cutting up/sampling. This was just a cool Sound Design experiment with the Moog and it does pretty rad drums. Very powerful! Oscillator Drums are next!!!"

A Patch A Day, No. 10

Published on May 18, 2013 hamiltonulmer·10 videos

"Very unsatisfying patch, and an unsatisfying (hilariously silly) take. It's been that kind of day, though.

The premise of this was essentially an attempt to use a bit of what I've learned about using the Quadra percussively, and what I've come to understand about the Make Noise modules, and do something different with them.

The whole enchilada - percussion and pitches - runs into the MMG, which opens, closes, and strikes according to clocks, envelopes, and Maths. That's the premise behind this whole thing. It is conceptually pretty delightful, really, even if this recording doesn't do it justice.

The Wogglebug clocks the Clock Divider, which then goes out to several bits here and there. Took the stepped CV out of the Wogglebug, piped it into Ch. 3 of the Maths, attenuated the signal so it wouldn't be too strong, and put it into the Tame Machine. If the signal into CV IN is too strong, the Tame Machine often switches patches, which is quite annoying. The output of that goes into the DPO, which provides the weak stepped bits I would turn up and down via the mixer (hardly comes out in the recording), using the FINAL out.

The kick sound comes out of the Dixie II, which opens and closes via one of the Quadra channels, using the Dual Index for VCA duty. I use the other channel of the Dual VCA to take in the RING MOD from the Wogglebug, which was fed Ch. 3 of the Maths, oscillating wildly.

The same stepped CV out of the Wogglebug is what is opening and closing the MMG to create the random RING MOD attenuation.

Some of the clicky sounds are just the hard snap of the Quadra. Some of them are STRIKEs into the MMG, which was being struck through the Graphic Sequencer, whose steps were determined by the Clock Divider. Pretty standard idea, overall.

The bit where I am plugging into the two different Maths channels is interesting, at least conceptually. The Maths here does a lot, and is sort of the real star. I had a patch cable going from the MMG MODE IN, and depending on which channel of Maths I plugged in, would do different things to the filter. We know Ch. 1 was going into the RING MOD IN of the Wogglebug, and it was outputting at a pitch frequency. So plugging into that would open up the MMG. Plugging into Ch. 4 would output much more lightly. Between the two, you get a really nice effect, overall.

I also hit the limit of what I can reliably do with one hand, while the camera films. I want to get more performant with the modular synth, and it is impossible to do with only one hand. So this video looks silly.

Good days and bad days. One must roll with them."

Spectral Audio Syntrack SN 960415

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

"Good things can come in small, light-blue packages! The Syntrack combines a digital wavetable oscillator with an analog filter (Cascade Filter). The filter output passes through the analog Distorter which shapes your sound to be powerful and rough. It's a 1-unit rack module with full MIDI implementation and an aggressive analog sound. Front panel controls seem slim, but everything you need is right there to create simple but fat synth sounds.

The Syntrack offers 99 Programs and easy programming because each parameter has a pot. Every tweak of a knob will send MIDI controller data to your sequencer or other MIDI gear. In fact the MIDI CC#'s are printed under each knob right on the front panel. And each parameter responds to MIDI controller input data as well. The Syntrack can also respond to velocity and aftertouch. The wavetable can be expanded by a second chip to double the memory. The Syntrack also offers an external audio input for running external sounds through the filter.

Simple effective analog mono-synth sounds for the modern studio. Its sounds are unique, aggressive and the whole package is very affordable. A great alternative to more common rack-mount mono-synths and older, less reliable vintage gear."

TC-11 - Performance on a Tabletop

"TC-11 is the programmable multi-touch synthesizer for the iPad. Access dozens of unique touch controllers and design exactly the synth sound you need.

1.8 has a great new visual engine, which I wanted to show off by demoing a few of the preset patches.

This video was captured with a direct feed from the iPad plus an overhead camera to capture my hands. It seems like a great solution to the challenge of showing off the performance of the app without obscuring it entirely with my hands.

TC-11 uses multi-touch generated control to push the synthesizer parameters. All patches are built in-app, and can be modified by the user to fit their needs."

Shurthi-1 Digital/Analog hybrid synthesizer SSM2044 Filter

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

"Shurthi-1 Digital/Analog hybrid synthesizer (new)

Fully assembled and calibrated
The Shruthi-1 is a hybrid digital/analog monosynth. Its hardware design is deceptively simple, but the sonic range is wide: sometimes grungily digital like a PPG-Wave, fat and funky like a SH-101, videogame-y like a Commodore 64, weird and warm like an ESQ-1 ; but more often than not, truly original.

The Digital Side

An 8-bit microcontroller plays the role of the two main oscillators + sub-oscillator. This allows the generation of (aliasing-free) classic analog waveforms, but also wavetable/transwave synthesis and a trove of weird digital algorithms (sinewave bitcrushing, formant synthesis, phase distortion, bit toggling, XOR modulation).

Shruthi-1 firmware has plenty of great features: a complete MIDI implementation (large CC coverage, NRPNs, SysEx data dump including wavetable transfer), a 12-slots modulation matrix, a 16-steps notes/CC sequencer and advanced arpeggiator with some unusual time warping modes, and even a polychaining feature to turn several Shruthi-1s into a monster polysynth!

The Analog Side

The filter board is based on the classic SSM2044 filter chip. Providing a VC 4-pole LPF (with VC resonance), the SSM2044 was used in the PPG Wave, the Korg PolySix and MonoPoly, but also in the SP1200. Its sound is very warm and “juicy”. This board is no longer in production and becoming rare
To complete this filter, a linear VCA based on the high-quality SSM2164 quad-VCA chip is added. Don’t be fooled by the magical SSM letters: this one is a modern chip. The VCA cells on the SSM2164 have an exponential response curve and need to be linearized. One such cell is used in a feedback configuration to convert the linear CV into a logarithmic CV (the little man in the op-amp can find the inverse of functions!), and a second cell is used for the actual amplification, using the inverse CV.

It would have been very unfortunate to leave the 2 remaining VCA cells on the SSM2164 unused, so we decided to wire them into a 2-pole low-pass, the cutoff frequency of which is controlled by CV1. Yet another low-pass? No, because the SSM2044 has two inputs: an inverting one and a non-inverting one. The original signal is sent to the inverting input, and the low-passed signal is sent to the non-inverting input. The SSM2044 will thus process the difference of both signals, which will sound like a high-pass filtered version of the original signal, with cutoff controlled by CV1. Why didn’t we go with a high-pass? The circuit was a bit-simpler this way, and it sounded like an interesting use of the inverting and non-inverting inputs of the SSM2044.

External signals can be processed through the VCF and VCA easily, the envelope can be triggered via midi to "play" the filter or can be left open for "dumb" processing. The digital oscillators can be turned off and the filter can be run in self oscillation for a monster analog sine as well.

Case

The case is my personal design and is a black, one sided textured acrylic which resists fingerprints and scratches and includes all red LEDs. The LCD is protected by a clear window.

I warranty the device for 1 year."
