"The TikTok is a 4HP Clock Divider/Multiplier.

It has Divisions and Multiplications of:
*//2
*//3
*//4
*//5
*//6

There is a Clk Input and a Reset Input.
Both are buffered with an opamp based comparator circuit.
They are looking for approximately +1.1V on a rising edge.
This means that you are not constrained to gate (pulse) signals to trigger them.

The Reset input resets your divisions clock counter to 1

There is a switch to select Mathematical or Musical divisions.

The Multiplication Outputs 25MS Trigger pulses.
The Division Outputs are on as long as your Clock source.

Avg Current draw:

Roland TB-303 with Early Devilfish Mod Implementation

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

via this auction

"Alright guys, what you have right here is an amazing and rare opportunity to purchase an immaculately clean, original 303. The devilfish mod appears to be an early version without the branding and was performed many years ago by Robin Whittle himself here in Melbourne. It has switches for accent, slide and decay speeds, VCA and VCF inputs and accent output.

This particular 303 was purchased decades ago by the current owner while working professionally as a studio producer. It was cherished and well taken care of while the studio was operational and since it's closure has been safely bubble wrapped in storage. After much deliberation, it is now being very hesitantly put back on the market. These things are hard to come by let alone in this condition, if you've been dreaming of owning a real deal 303, this is your chance. Don't hesitate, this thing won't last."

via this auction

"Here we have for sale a piece of electronic music history, an original and clean MC-4 micro composer with all the extra units for implementing this classic sequencer into your studio. The OP-8 as the patch bay to your vintage synths with CV input and the MTR-100 for storing your sequences. Many believe the MC-4 to be one of the "tightest" hardware sequencers ever produced.

Purchased new by the current owner in the late 70's, this particular example sat as the centrepiece of the studio for many years before being retired to storage. These sequencers are rare as hens teeth especially when paired with the OP-8 and MTR-100. Don't hesitate on this one, who knows when you'll see another set like this for sale."

@noyzelab Dave Noyze - Out of Memory - Featuring Midified Lorenz Attractor & Chaotic Granular Synthesis



via noyzelab where you'll find additional details. Just capturing a bit of it here for the MATRIXSYNTH archives.

"This album is a collection of algorithmic/generative works from chaos and complexity theory, made between 1997 & 2001 with modular and MIDI synthesizers. Systems were initially prototyped on Acorn machines (BBC Master, Archimedes 310 & Risc PC) in earlier years using the BBC BASIC programming language. Apple machines running Max were used in the later stages. The algorithms were drawn from (among others) 1 and 2 dimensional Cellular Automata, Lorenz and other strange attractors, various mathematical functions/surfaces of 1 to 3 dimensions, 1/f Voss noise generator and the Logistic equation. These algorithms were used to directly control various modular and MIDI synthesizers. The video's below were all made at Noyzelab, Australia on my Risc PC in 2010/2011 using a Yamaha RS7000."

Metasonix R-52 Vacuum Tube Multimode Filter

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

via this auction
"The r-52 uses two pentodes, type 12au6. the circuit is derived directly from our award-winning tm-2 filter, but with all the features of our tm-6 filter. a pair of bandpass filters is swept with a vactrol(tm) control element, a resonant treble filter and a less-resonant bass filter, giving a 4-pole lowpass response. filter sweep range (approx): bass-only 80-200 hz, bandpass/lowpass low setting 300-1000 hz, high setting 800-1900 hz. filter resonance/q adjustable from less than 1 to oscillation. voltage gain approx. 2 with resonance set to 10 o'clock position and input level set to maximum. both filters, or one at a time, may be selected and mixed in desired amounts using the front-panel response control. this allows for a wide range of equalization and special sound effects. cv inputs are available for sweeping the cutoff frequency and for affecting the treble filter's resonance. circuit distortion is less than 0.5% typical. power requirement: +-12v dc, 150 ma"

Metasonix R-51 Vacuum Tube VCA Distortion

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

via this auction

"The r-51 is unique and never before available in any form. it uses two remote-cutoff pentodes, type 26a6. two cv inputs are available for controlling circuit distortion from less than 2% up to more than 40% (varies with individual tubes). two cv inputs also allow use of the r-51 as a conventional synthesizer vca, with gain variable from less than -75db to +5db (typical). both distortion and vca features can be used simultaneously. this allows true vacuum-tube asymmetrical soft clipping to be applied to any waveform. with suitable cv processing, the r-51 can be configured as a true "variable mu" limiter or expander. power requirement: +-12v dc, 150 ma. the metasonix r-series of vacuum-tube modules is intended for use in any "eurorack" standard modular synthesizer system. all r-series modules are 22hp (112mm) wide and fit in any doepfer©, analogue systems©, or other compatible cabinet. they are powered entirely from the cabinet's internal +-12v dc power supplies, using doepfer compatible 16-pin power connectors. their circuits protrude behind the panel less than 25mm (1 inch). all vacuum tubes are nos (new old stock) types from classic american and european manufacturers that are run very conservatively for long life, and are readily available from distributors. the tubes protrude from the panel for visibility and cooling, less than 38mm (1.5 inches), and should fit inside a doepfer a-100 suitcase cabinet lid or into a doepfer mini case. all audio inputs and outputs and cv inputs/outputs are 100% compatible with other synthesizer modules. plate voltage is provided by a tiny switching supply producing clean 48v regulated at low current, which is very safe and will not injure the user. potentiometers are top-quality alpha rk12l types, and 3.5mm phone jacks are special kobiconn vertical-mount types, much better quality than the cheap ones usually seen in euro modules. each r-module is fully protected against reverse supply voltage, overvoltage, undervoltage, or incorrect hookup to external equipment. as with all our products, the r series is totally handcrafted in northern california, usa."

Nord Lead 1 Performance Video Demos by David Hobson


Published on Jun 13, 2014 David Hobson

YouTube channel moved. I'll update this post when the videos have been migrated. Until then see this post for one.

Note this is a playlist of all of David Hobson's videos starting with "Nord Lead 1 Performance - God Speed - David Hobson 6/04/2014", the latest Nord Lead 1 video. There appears to be 11 total Nord Lead 1 videos with some other synth videos mixed in. Skip through the player as you like.

The following is the video description for "Nord Lead 1 Performance - God Speed - David Hobson 6/04/2014"

"Hello, this song "God Speed" is a demonstration / performance of the type of sounds you can get out of the "Great" Clavia Nord Lead 1. Please "show more" for more info. I hope you have a good subwoofer. I have set this performance to a "video."

The Nord Lead 1 is a fantastic sounding synthesizer with great potential. All you need is a good sound that you know well, and familiarity with this synthesizer's parameters.

This "video" is called "God Speeds" instead of "God Speed" because I believe that God Speeds" to rescue His saints. This was an impromptu performance which I set to a type of video using a certain media player's "visualizer."

I utilized effects in my Digital Audio Workstation of choice, Reaper. The effects I used were of my own making with the exception of the Waves L1 Ultra Maximizer.

If you need polish to your recording look no further than the Waves L1 Ultra Maximizer, it is selling cheap I believe, maybe less now. It has been replaced by the L2, L3, L9...whatever...but the L1 was a standard in many important studios for some time.

If you already own a Nord Lead 1, then you know how good it sounds even without all of that effect saturation. It is different than the Nords that followed it. The man who designed the Nord 1 moved on to work for Rebirth in 1997, I believe it was...And for some reason Clavia did not use the same DSP design. I know this because I called Clavia when I worked for Sam Ash Music, and they told me all of this. I had purchased a Nord Lead when it first came out and noticed that the Nord Lead 2 (when it arrived) sounded different. Believe it or not.

I made a simple example of what the Nord is capable of, but with the appropriate use of modulation, velocity and creativity the Nord is capable of so much more. If you purchase one make sure to get one with the voice expansion...and buy a PCMCIA card.

I will upload more videos of the Nord Lead in action, perhaps scrolling through a few of my own presets.

Oh, and one more thing:
The "Unison" feature on the Nord...well, I believe I have figured out what it is doing to create a "wider" stereo field. If you record your Nord in stereo and set up a simple saw patch, just one oscillator, tuned as low as it will go, you will notice your level indicators rise left to right as each saw cycle repeats. that is my story and I am sticking to it."

Roland Gaia SH-01 Synthesizer Review Demo


Published on Aug 27, 2014 Pfill Morgan

Roland Gaias on eBay

"http://amzn.to/1tJ1gFP - this is the place where i found that Roland GAIA SH-01 Synthesizer + they give BONUS PAK w/ Sustain Pedal & Headphones.I bought this and i am very happy.

My small Roland Gaia SH-01 Synthesizer Review.

The SH-01 is a portable analog synthesizer based on Roland's proprietary virtual analog synthesis tehcniques, Unique features include three oscilators ("tones") per patch, with separate LFO/FILTER/AMP sections per oscillator.

The separate sections turn each patch into mixing three synthesizers together into one note. This can be a little tricky to deal with, but the results are worth the effort. Unfortunately, there's no way to copy just one part to a different tone, so this has to be done by hand. You can copy an entire tone to another tone, however.

Getting used to it just means playing with it for a while, learning about the new possibilities offereed by this architecture. It generates a wide variety of sounds, from beautiful strings and pads to excellent leads.

All in all, a good synth for beginnners and pros."

Minimoog - Q960 Sequencer - C958 Quantizer - C961S Gate sequencer


Published on Aug 27, 2014 noddyspuncture

"Here is one of my Minimoogs being sequenced by the Q960. Just an 8 note first row thing I programmed. Also using my new Club Of The Knobs C958 quantizer which makes setting the pitch intervals really easy, and the C961S gate sequencer which enables the sequence to run backwards as well as forwards...! Here I am tweaking not only the Minimoogs settings (a little goes a long way..!) but also the sequencers third row which opens or closes the filter and creates accents, giving a nice, variable bounce to the whole thing. The quantizer has a few switches which puts it into different modes. I found that switching those gives you a slightly different tune here and there - this was a nice 'extra surprise' that I didn't know about."
