The Well Sequenced Synthesizer

I. THE COUNTERPOINTER

Published on Sep 22, 2013

"The Counterpointer is a cross between an electronic arpeggiator and a baroque music rule book. It takes a melody input and responds with voices that follow the rules of counterpoint."


II. EL ORDENADOR


"El Ordenador carves chaos into order by applying constraints to randomly generated chord progressions – inspired by the features of tonality described by Dmitri Tymoczko in 'A Geometry of Music'."

III. LA MECÁNICA


"La Mecánica uses a traditional music box mechanism to play back the progressions generated by El Ordenador –."

Teisco SX-400 Sound Demo

Published on Sep 22, 2013 Lackan110f·5 videos

"A demo tune just using the Teisco SX-400 multitracked. I did use some delay, final compression and EQ to the mix.

The SX-400 is especially great for fat pads and nice leads, but can also produce some very fat base sounds when in mono mode. A very versatile synth with the best from both the mono- and the poly world.

Gordon Reid at SOS really hasn't got a clue what he is talking about... :-)"

Reset - "They Found Me"

Published on Sep 22, 2013 davidryle·126 videos

"Some sketchy modular synth clock works and a cryptic radio voice. The radio is randomly tuned with a Q117 S&H module and a Q125 Signal Processor module before being sent to a Mega Ohm Audio LFO2 controlled stage of an STG Signal Amplifier module. SImple enough?

The piece is in 5/4 and various multiplications of the clock. The beat one of the 5/4 measure is resetting most of the faster clock multiples and forcing the half beats and such. It is a nice stuttering effect. The Modcan 73B delay is using a staggered sync on its' channels for a delay which almost falls apart and regroups again on each bar. Notice the delay never changes the pitch as most delay's would. Nice. Some filter modulation of the 73B is happening using two LFO's. The sequence into the 73B is from the Q960 which is the main 5/4 clock sequence.

The title is a combination of the reset function happening musically and the only words I could identify in the broken radio audio. Sort of a hide & seek message or something.

Fun stuff for an evening patchwork."

DSI Prophet 12 controlled by Moog Theremin.

DCOs vs VCOs

A recent poll went up on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge asking whether DCOs are analog or digital. DCO stands for Digitally Controlled Oscillator and in many cases they are actually analog. They are just digitally controlled. I remember the debate coming up frequently on the Analogue Heaven mailing list so I did a quick search and found the following from the late Jürgen Haible. He was an extremely respected synth DIY designer who's work is frequently featured on the site to this day.  I thought I'd share it here on the site as well.  Note the bits preceded with  > are from someone else.  JH is the rest.

">
>>There are different types of DCOs.
>>An analog oscillator, whose frequency is synced to a digital clock. Thus
>>the tuning is perfectly, but the waveform is smooth.
>>Example: Oberheim Matrix 1000, Matrix 6/6R

>only syncs when you use the "tune" function?

I always thought it's the (resonating) *filter* that is tuned on request.
The DCOs are locked to clocks as said in the original mail.

>>A digital circuit, which aproximates analog waveforms as step functions in
>>hardware, the bit resolution gets worse the older the gear is.
>>Example: Korg Poly-800, Bit-99
>
>The DCO's in these should rather have been labled DO's by the manufacturers
>then, as the sound is digitally generated.

IMO, there are quite a lot of nuances of VCO-DCO. Let me try and make the whole chain from "analogue" to "digital" (Though I wouldn't say strictly from "good" to "bad" ;->)

(1) free running analogue oscillator, controlled by analogue voltage divider keyboard. (Minimoog, ...)

(2) free running analogue oscillator, controlled by digital via a D/A converter without correction, and analogue modulation (Oberheim n-voice (?) )

(3) free running analogue oscillator, controlled by digital via a D/A converter, with autotune, scale correction and stuff, but still analogue modulation (Sequencial Circuits Prophet5 rev. 3)

(4) free running analogue oscillator, controlled by digital via a D/A converter, with autotune, scale correction and digital LFO / Sample&Hold / Glide modulation, but with analogue ADSR->VCO modulation (Oberheim OB-8).

(5) free running analogue oscillator, controlled by digital via a D/A converter, with autotune, scale correction, and all modulations including ADSR via DAC (Sequential Prophet 600).

(6) free running analogue oscillator, controlled by digital via a D/A converter, with autotune, scale correction, and all modulations including ADSR via DAC, plus automatic autotune in the background from time to time (Oberheim Matrix12 (?)).

(7) Simple Ramp-Oscillator that is synced by a counter every cycle, but with different clock/divider tree for both DCO's in a voice (Oberheim Matrix 6, EDP Wasp)

(8) Simple Ramp-Oscillator, that is synced by a counter every cycle, but with one single clock/divider tree for both DCO's in a voice (Oberheim Matrix 1000)

(9) Staircase Waveform stuff (as described in different recent mails)

(10) Wavetable stuff (also as described in recent mails)

These are the different types I know of. Maybe there are still others in between. Speaking in the word's original sense, (2) - (6) would be something like "DCVCOs" ("digital controlled VCOs") in the sense of a digital word forms an analogue voltage that controls an oscillator. (7) and (8) would be real "DCOs", cause they are still oscillators, only under the iron grip of digital clock, which makes them sound thin and lifeless. (9) and (10) shouldn't be called "controlled oscillators" anymore, perhaps just call them "DOs" ("digital oscillators") or even closer to the point, "DDs" (digital dividers) or "DS's" (digital scanners). Well, but that would go too far then.

Oh, I forgot another interesting variation:

Analogue oscillators with digital dividers / waveforms:

(11) analogue VCO with dividers (some ARP-synths - thank You Joachim, for the schematics! - and of course the Suboscillators in various VCO- based synths)

(12) 12 analogue VCOs for the 12 top-octave-semitones and digital dividers (Farfisa VIP 245, Korg PS-3x00 series)

1982 PPG Wave 2.2 / Waveterm German Ad

via synthmuseum.de

Update via Qwave in the comments: "Notice, that there is only one row of white buttons under the waveterm screen. As all units of the serial production (I used #29 in the mid eighties to mid nineties) got two rows of what was then called "soft keys" (for software defined, which was rather new then), it looks like being a prototype. And the original waveterm was only named "waveterm A" after the waveterm B was introduced."

"The Steps of Paradox" - Arp Solo on Novation Bass Station II

Published on Sep 22, 2013 TimeSynthis·43 videos


"Here's my demonstration of the Novation Bass Station 2. This new analog monosynth sounds great and is very creatively intuitive to work with.

This track is a arpegiator pattern I programmed into it. I used the Classic filter, first the 12dB then the 24dB in the last minute. A lot of other modulations. With filter resonance peaking out near the end of the piece. No overdubs, recorded on one solo track. Used some Lexicon MX300 effect for room space.

Hope you Enjoy!"
