Teisco 110f & 60f Demos

Teisco 110f Demo Published on May 5, 2012 Lackan110f·3 videos
Teisco helicopter.

"A demo tune just using the Teisco 110f multitracked. No extra FX used, only a final compression and EQ to the mix.

The Teisco is especially great for fat basses and nice leads, but can also produce some weird ring modulated sounds. A very versatile synth."

Teisco110f Sound Demo


"A sound demo just tweaking the Teisco 110f. No extra FX used, recorded straight from the synth.

The Teisco is especially great for fat basses and nice leads, but can also produce some weird ring modulated sounds. A very versatile synth.

I have tried to cover most of the features, but I am sure I have missed out some things. But this will at least cover the basics I think."

Teisco 60f

Published on Jun 1, 2013

"A demo of the Teisco Synthesizer 60f. No extra FX used. Some pots are a bit crackly and the Youtube sound compression is a bit hard at times. Sorry for this.

But I think you will get a general idea of what this marvelous little synth is capable of. The main feature is undisputibly the lush low pass filter, that thanks to a design similar to the Moog technique doesn't loose tone when resonance is up high."

4ms QCD (Quad Clock Distributor) Sneak Preview 2

Published on Sep 18, 2013 4mspedals·77 videos

"The Quad Clock Distributor (QCD) and the QCD Expander modules from 4ms Company are an amazing pair of complex rhythm generating machines. The QCD is the perfect master clock, with a tap-tempo button and four CV-controlled Divided/Multiplied clock outputs. All the beat patterns you hear are coming from this module (plus other 4ms gear such as the RCD, SCM, and PEG), using various QCD channels to modulate themselves.

Swing/shuffle patterns are easily obtained by modulating the pulse width of the inverted gate output. The speed-up/slow-down patterns come from modulating the clock divider/multiplication amount (with an LFO and/or another synced clock). Finally, hitting Reset at various times causes phase modulation.

For more information on the Quad Clock Distributer, see http://4mscompany.com"

Pics of the inside below.

"This unit is essentially a two-oscillator analog synthesizer interfaced to a clarinet-like controller, as opposed to the usual keyboard. It also has outputs to connect to additional analog synths. The keys of the controller are "wired" to electrical contacts and it has breath control and reed pressure sensors.
The electronics of the synthesizer on this unit are 100% functional and have been serviced by an experienced synthesizer tech. Needed are repairs to the power supply section, and a good cleaning. NOTE: The controller needs cleaning and servicing as well and has problems with the breath control and reed pressure sensors. The keys all work fine. Service is still available for these problems from Bill Bernardi, the original designer and builder of the Lyricon - here is a link to information on contacting him."

Future Sound Systems FIL2 Spectral Devastator Dual VCF

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

via this auction

"A unique and versatile pair of filters that compliment each other quite well!

The Spectral Devastator features a brand new filter core, designed by FSS through finding ways to implement voltage control for a resonant active filter. The method of CV involves passing the audio input through the CV stage, but whilst the CV implementation is non-linear, distortion and waveshaping of the audio occurs, particularly with high resonance. This circuitry also results in a filter that self oscillates not sinusoidally, but with a sawtooth-like waveform.

Two filter sections (highpass and lowpass) can be normalled together to create serial or parallel processing of the same input, whilst the highpass' cut-off control is normalled to the secondary CV input of the lowpass filter via a variable attenuator.

At low resonances, the filter gently rolls off frequencies above the cut-off point. Tweak the resonance past 12 o'clock and the filter begins to growl. Crank it up to 10 and you've got a filter that adds harmonics to your original input, based upon that input's harmonic content. Unplug the input and use the two filter sections as VCOs. Plug audio into the CV inputs and create swarms of noise. Use the highpass section as a VCO and the lowpass section to filter its output, giving you the core of any acid bassline you could ever want.

Features

Highpass and Lowpass filter sections
Cutoff knob per filter
Resonance knob per filter
CV2 Depth knob per filter
Normalling switches for choosing signal path order
2 cutoff frequency CV inputs
Input and Output per filter"

Future Sound Systems FIL1 Convulsion Generator CV Resonator

Perfect Circuit Audio (RSS)

"The Convulsion Generator is based around a bridged-T resonator circuit, as found at the heart of the infamous TR808 kick drum. The circuit will produce decaying sinusoids when pulses are sent to the input. This can be likened to "pinging" a resonant filter. However, in the case of the Convulsion Generator, the resonator has been tuned so that these sinusoids are produced at frequencies below the audible range. This means that the Convulsion Generator can output sinusoidal CV sources, as well as covering the lower end of the audible spectrum, allowing for boomy, bass-heavy kick drums.

The presence of two rectified outputs for positive and negative only sources, as well as the bipolar output from which these stem, means that the Convulsion Generator is perfect for providing several CV sources from one input. Used alongside LFOs the FIL1 will produce sinusoidal patterns which can be modified by tweaking the R1 and R2 controls.

+Output: Positive only rectified output

Audio Damage - GrainShift/Errorbox/DubJr - Patch1

Audio Damage - GrainShift/Errorbox/DubJr - Patch1 from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"First late night jam with the new Audio Damage effects for Eurorack. Everything is being triggered/clocked via the Tiptop TriggerRiot. Kick drum source is the Cwejman BLD running into the "ADM02" Grainshift, turning the kick drum into granulated mush. Next source is the Z output from the Synthesis Technology E350 running into one MakeNoise - modDemix then sent to a TipTop Z5000, for intermittent CV control verb. The analog hand-clap from the Din Sync DrumDokta DRM-110 running into the "ADM01" DubJr Delay. Which is being strangled and mangled by one stepped output from the MakeNoise Wogglebug, which is also being clocked from the Trigger Riot. One sine output from the DPO running into another Optomix, triggered by channel A from Trigger Riot for synthetic double style FM high-hats, which is running into the Errorbox being slightly degraded and crushed. CV inputs Pitch and Chaos on the Grainshift controlled by erratic CV plot movements from the Rene sequencer (also clocked from the Trigger Riot). Bouncing ball effect from the MakeNoise Maths V2 channel output one, from FM Intellijel Rubicon, then sent to intellijel Planar for panning zigzag movements also being controlled by Maths V2, channel output 4. Drones running from the Mutable Instruments Braids into the Eventide Space reverb pedal fully wet mix. "

Auto-playing Ads on the Site Should be Gone Now

Just a heads up, if you were getting auto-playing ads on the site, they should be gone now.  They weren't supposed to be coming up, but apparently some were still sneaking in.  There are two generic ad providers on the site.  Google Adwords and Federated Media.  The ads displayed are based on the site's content as well as your interest.  In case you didn't know, if you are logged into a Google account, Google will display ads relevant to what you've been searching on, ads relative to the site, or ads advertisers target on sites.  That's why you might be seeing ads not related to synths and that's why you see political ads during election season.   BTW, if you are an advertiser and you are on Adwords, you can target the three ad sections on the site.  Anyway, both Google and FM allow you to specify what type of media comes through in Ads - images, audio, video, expandable ads and so on.  I had and still have audio, video and expandable ads disabled so you should never get them.   For some reason auto-playing video and audio was still coming through for one, so I removed it all together.  If you get an auto-playing ad in the future, please let me know and apologies for the inconvenience.  They annoy me just as much as they annoy you. This is a follow-up to this post.
