Evenfall: Ambient guitar electronica


Published on Jul 17, 2014 MIDERA

"My first attempt at sampling using the Yamaha RS7000, enjoy!

Many of the drum parts are standard, but the bass kick was created
using an oscillator and pitch-shifting, while some other clicks were
created using samples from the guitar.

...If you're wondering why my RS7000 has crazy LEDs, it's due to the shutter-speed being out of sync with the electricity in the device..."

Ambika

'Ambika is a monster hybrid polysynth. Its design consists of a motherboard and 6 voicecards, each of them carrying a turbocharged version of the Shruthi hybrid synthesizer (digital waveform synthesis through analog VCF/VCAs). Whether you want to use this as six monosynths, a six-voice polysynth, or anything in-between is up to you: MIDI channels/keyboard range/patches/voices are distinct concepts, allowing complex layered, split, multitimbral setups. In addition, each voice has a switched individual output.'

'Ambika offers all the delicious digital waveform synthesis algorithms (FM, vowel synthesis, wavetables…) that made the Shruthi famous, and some newcomers too: CZ-style emulation of digital filters and wave sequencing. The oscillators signal is now processed through a fuzz/distortion and a bitcrusher before being sent to the analog filters. The modulation possibilities are immense thanks to the 4 LFOs (3 synchronized and 1 free running), 3 ADSRs, and the large modulation matrix (14 slots, 4 modifiers).'

'This voicecard uses a multimode 2-pole filter, with low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes.'"

"This beautiful ES-50 Lambda was made by Korg in 1979 to replace and combine the two earlier instruments of the Polyphonic Ensemble series, the PE-1000 keyboard synth and the PE-2000 string machine. I have owned this one, serial number 234404, since the mid-1990's. Its textures are so lush that the running joke at our studio was that it sounded way bigger than the giant PS-3300 that it shared a stand with. The envelopes are truly polyphonic, not paraphonic, so notes don't abruptly cut off in weird places like ARP and Roland machines of the same era."

Corsynth C106 - Delayed VCO Demo



"VCO1 to VCA1 - Envelope A controls VCA1
VC02 to VCA2 - Envelope B controls VCA2
VCA1 + VCA2 connected to the filter C101

The Envelope A triggers the Envelope B after reach the end of its Attack and Envelope B trigger Envelope A after reach the end of the Decay.

The Envelope A has a long decay so two VCOs can be heard during the decay of Envelope A.

And LFO is modulating the Envelope A (Attack and Decay)

The filter cut-off frequency is controlled using the A+B output."

Dave Smith Instruments Formally Announces First Eurorack Module - DSM01 Curtis Filter


Looks like the filter module featured in this video will be released:

"Dave Smith Instruments Debuts DSM01 Curtis Filter Module

Acclaimed Synth Designer Introduces First-Ever Module for Modular Systems

San Francisco, CA—July 17, 2014—Dave Smith Instruments today introduced the DSM01 Curtis Filter module, their first offering for modular synthesizers. The module takes its name from the original filter chip designed by the late Doug Curtis and provides both a switchable 2/4-pole low-pass filter and a VCA. The Curtis filter is an integral part of the sound of many synthesizers created by Dave Smith, including the classic Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 and Pro-One, and more recent instruments such as the Evolver, Mopho, Prophet ΚΌ08, and Prophet 12.

The 'Curtis sound,' which is often described as saturated, brash, and powerful, was fundamental to not only Smith’s synthesizers, but also to such highly-regarded instruments as the Oberheim Xpander, Rhodes Chroma and Polaris, PPG Wave, Korg MonoPoly, Waldorf Wave, Elka Synthex, and many others. “We wanted to make the classic Curtis filter sound, which I’ve always found very versatile and expressive, readily available to modular users,” said Smith. 'Adding the DSM01 to a modular system is an easy way to give it the sonic edge that people typically associate with a vintage Sequential synth. But it’s also a big part of the sound of my current synths such as the Prophet 12.'

The module is a standard 8HP wide, Eurorack-format device with interconnections made using 3.5 mm phone jacks.

A carefully designed set of inputs and parameters allows voltage control of filter frequency and resonance. Filter slope is selectable between -12 dB and -24 dB. The module also provides its own VCA and features two separate outputs for the filter—one pre-VCA and the other, post-VCA. A unique feature of the filter is a Boost function that introduces harmonic distortion into the signal for more aggressive coloration.

'With modular synths, having the widest possible tonal palette to draw from has always been the name of the game. Our Curtis Filter module is our first, but significant contribution to that world. We think modular users are really going to get a lot of sonic mileage out of it.'

The DSM01 module will be available in August of 2014 with a MAP of $179.

Launched in 2002, Dave Smith Instruments is helmed by legendary musical instrument designer and Grammy® award winner Dave Smith. Dave’s many accomplishments include the creation of the Prophet-5—the world’s first fully programmable polyphonic synthesizer—and his legacy as the primary driving force behind MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface).

About Dave Smith Instruments
Dave Smith Instruments’ products are used by an ever-growing roster of well-known musicians and are available from music retailers worldwide. Instruments include the Mopho, Tetra, Prophet 08, Prophet 12, and Evolver synthesizers, and the Tempest analog drum machine. Dave Smith Instruments is based in San Francisco, where the instruments are also manufactured. For more information, visit www.davesmithinstruments.com."
