"Super great mini moog style synth. 3vco, 2ADSR, sweet 4-pole LPF with input, MIDI and CV/Gate input. 32 step sequencer. Original owner.

the mfb-synth ii is a monophonic synthesizer module. it uses analogue circuits that are voltage controlled for oscillators, filters and amplification. the synthesizer is controlled by midi, cv/gate or the integrated step sequencer that can hold up to 25 sequences with 32 steps each. here are the details:

the vco sections contains three individual oscillators that are scaled to the volt/octave standard. the selectable waveforms are sawtooth, square and triangle. vco ii offers an additional impulse wave and pulse width control for the square wave. the octave can be set between 4', 8' and 16' or 32'. an additional detune amount of plusminus one octave can be set for vco 2 and vco 3. the vcos can either be modulatied by an lfo or vco 3. vco1 can be set to sync and two digital ringmodulations are available as vco1+2 and vco2+3.

the mixer allows level control of all oscillators plus noise and the level of the external audio input. the lowpass filter is a resonant 24 db/octave design. emphasis (resonance) can be set up to self oscillation. the cutoff frequency can be automodulated by an lfo or by and vco. key controls the influence of the keyboard pitch on the cutoff parameter (keyboard scaling). both vcf and vca have their propietary envelope generators with attack, decay, sustain and release parameters. the vca can also be modulated by an lfo for characteristic tremolo effects.

there are lfos. the waveforms offered are sawtooth, rectangle, triangle and random. the can be set to „one shot“ mode to be used as simple envelopes. the mfb-synth ii 50 preset- and 49 memory locations. the synthesizer will respond to incoming velocity data (midi). the velocity information can be used to control either vcf cutoff or vca level. pitch- and modulation wheel are both recognized. the step sequencer sends and receveives midi clock and responds to start and stop midi commands.

connectors: midi in/out, audio in/out , cv/gate in, power (power supply included)

the mfb synth ii measures 315 x 165 x 387 mm. it has the following connectors: midi in/out, audio in/out , cv/gate in, and power. a power supply is included. the user manual is available as a PDF from manufacturers website."

Peter Blasser's superORGAN

superORGAN I: Rainforest Airport

Published on Dec 1, 2014 Peter B

These are in order. Be sure to see part 2 & 3 below for different takes. Peter Blasser is the man behind Ciat-Lonbarde.

"When a computer controls a pipe organ, it can trigger the notes really fast. If you get it fast enough, just barely attacking the pipes, it can elicit all sorts of squeals and pukes. In the computer music conference of 2014, we installed an incarnation of David Tudor's Rainforest next door to Wesleyan Chapel, in its airport-like lobby. Referring to the bacchanal nature of this lobby, and also the pre-show routines of Tudor, came half of the initial lyrics: a list of alcohols. The other half came from the odd chambres and containers used in Rainforest: a styrofoam cooler, a gourd, copper helmet. These objects all have resonant peak frequencies, of course, and a challenge came to emulate them on the pipe organ next door, so musics could waft throughout the sacred and the secular.

Thus part one in this piece for midi organ: superORGAN. Supercollider is the scripting language, and also synthesizer of accompanying sound-worlds, originally made for playing through rainforest objects, but now using the pastor's sound system in the chapel. Here is a list of pipes: vox humana, bassoon, clarinet, french horn. Here is a list of religious terms: liturgy, stole, vow, tabernacle, multi-denominational, pallium, papal, rome, synod, chalice, vespers... crypt. Note the recording is a rare, close-miking, intended to hear the strange whispers of windy pipes in the night."

SuperORGAN II: Resistor Zoo

Published on Dec 1, 2014 Peter B

"When a computer controls a pipe organ, it can trigger the notes really fast. Here the goal is to put only a tiny puff of air into a pipe, to hear the so-called chiff sound, like a consonant before the long vowel of a speaking pipe. Usually one records an organ out in the church, to hear it echoing off the walls and sounding like the voice of God in space. Here, I chose to shove the microphones physically into the chests, so you can hear the sound of various valves, squeaky bellows, and other aspects of the machinery of the universal voice.

Composing computer music for the pipe organ can entail exploring the relationship between tunings. This movement pits the scale encountered in designing an analog synthesizer tuned by raw capacitor values (tocante) against the organ's equal temperament. That forms the basis for the lyrics: "10,22,33,47,68,82,56,39,27." The dissonance between sonic systems is already present in the synthetic nature of loudspeaker sound versus the natural projection of tones by wind-pipe."

superORGAN III: Pile of Fourths

Published on Dec 1, 2014

"Adapting David Behrman's "Pile of Fourths" for the midi organ, I again came up to the possibility of dissonance in confronting tunings. The piece involves improvisational articulations on a ladder of fourths, easily played by the organ. The circle of fourths has always been a fascinating sound, but it also beguiles me with its numerical rationale of compounded powers of three. Did Pythagoras mean that we can hear exponents? Maybe we can, but I chose to command Supercollider to immediately calculate harmonic approximations to the pile of fourths, according to different sub-octaves of A440.

The contrasting pitch material decided, all I needed was a gradient fade between the pipe organ and the computer music. Difficult to fade a pipe organ, so I decided to use patterns to create a sort of primitive, MIDI pulse width modulation, starting with full duty cycle, and ending in the shortest, chiffest clicks of notes. Likewise, I faded the computer music up in a granular way, extending event envelopes from very short to legato in gesture."

"Modular synthesizer pefromance"

The Packrat Comes to MATRIXSYNTH!

I'm happy to announce that starting with the December issue, The Packrat has found a new home here on MATRIXSYNTH!

The Packrat has been featured on MATRIXSYNTH many times in the past (and of course the MATRIXSYNTH Packrat on the right has been a staple of the site since 2006), but now it will be a bit more official. You'll find some words from Dave, the creator of The Packrat, below.

But first, click the image for the full size comic. You can find previous issues on Dave's Packrat site here, and be sure to check out The Packrat Book! It's a great bit of synth history and it makes a great stocking stuffer. MATRIXSYNTH and a few other names in the synth community are featured in the book.

Regarding the future of The Packrat, Dave has the following to say:

"The Packrat is by all accounts among the smallest, most niche-y comic strips in the entire universe. Nevertheless, it has its fans, and just in case they have any curiosity, they are owed the backstory of the events of the past few months.

I came back from my August, 2014 camping trip through the Canadian back woods with a hot, steaming case of Lyme Disease (I'm fine now!). I was covered in a rash for several weeks and ended up submitting one comic strip too late for print. The following month, specifics too unexciting in which to delve (exclusively involving the publication's administration, going higher than Keyboard Magazine itself) created problematic logistics preventing the print of the next two installments.

I bear the magazine itself no ill will at all, and consider the matter unfortunate only for the fans who had perhaps thought that the Packrat had been retired (by me or the mag). Indeed, those of its followers who are wise enough to follow it on Facebook or my own personal art site umop.com have been able to see monthly synth-tastic adventures at the usual periodic times, so hopefully the notion that the Packrat went to Synth Heaven wasn't too widespread.

Comic strips are trifles in this world, and this one is damn near the, uh... trifliest? So the details about how this strip gets made surely must consist of the silliest orts of minutiae ever to cross anyone's plate. But here they are anyway, every last crumb of them.

Anyway, inasmuch as the break from the magazine was unintentional on the part of everyone directly involved with its creation, I'm using the resultant reality of things as an excuse to move onward with the Packrat. It will now be available online on all the aforementioned sites, and Matrixsynth has agreed to be the exclusive first link to it every month (and possibly, in installments of a more timely fashion!). Neither he nor I are currently making any money at all from any of this; we're both in it for synth-love alone right now (and for me, exceedingly rare book sales). While I was formerly earning enough for a couple of tanks of gas a pop from the magazine (and was lucky to get it in this economy), even that modest honorarium will be gone.

This comic strip has somehow survived ten years of life come February, and I have no plans of slowing down any time soon. In order to help keep it going, I plan on setting up a Patreon page this week. I would consider even $100 per month a major victory, since that would at least cover its own dodeca-annual creation. Details about the page will follow once it's all set up.

Thanks for reading the Packrat comic! Enjoy this first Matrixsynth-exclusive episode, featuring an appropriately green synth to start off the maiden voyage."

Befaco CRUSH DELAY Eurorack Module

via Befaco

Available assembled or as a DIY kit.

"This is a delay based on the PT2399 chip. Starting with a previous design of Scott Bernardi , we added mix CV , in addition to the repetition rate and the feedback . This is the first design in collaboration with Familiar.

It has two inputs, output mix with DRY / WET control and clean delayed output . With this external feedbacks are possible with other effects and controls.

PT2399 is a digital chip widely used in DIY projects. You may get delay times of about 500 ms with pretty good sound quality. Switching to crush mode you can force the machine and get delay times up to 4 seconds at the cost of substantial amounts of downslampling and digital junk."

"This is a dual Hi/Low pass filter. Inspired by the famous sallen key filter from MS-20 early version.

It has attenuverters (inverter-attenuator) as an addition to the normal CV control in Cut-Off and CV control for the resonance with a little more presence of the resonance than the original. The normal CV control for Cut-Off keeps tracking trough 3 octaves.

The ‘Link’ switch connects the input of the second into the output of the first to have it in series"

Befaco VC ADSR Eurorack Module

via Befaco

Available assembled or as a DIY kit.

"Classic four states envelope generator (Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release) with all the states voltage controlled

It has linear and “RC” responses selectable by a switch.

Can be triggered through the Trigger and Gate inputs or using the manual trigger button.

When is trigger through the Gate IN and the Gate signal ends before the time of attack, the attack is interrupted going directly to the Release state.

When triggering through the trigger or manual trigger button, the attack time is completed regardless the end of the incoming signal."

Befaco I² – INSTRUMENT INTERFACE Eurorack Module

via Befaco

Available assembled or as a DIY kit.

"Sometimes the interaction between a modular system and other musical instruments (electronic or acoustic) is needed. With an envelope follower circuit we can achieve a direct control of the amplitude of the signal.

It will produce a control voltaje proportional to the amplitude. Allowing a real communication between our system and the external sound source.

Instrument interface module has the following blocks:

“PREAMP”
With two audio inputs (6.5 jack and Minijack/banana), input apmlification is controlled with “GAIN” pot, controlling the amplitude of the envelopes that will be generated.

Minimum signal required to generate the maximum envbelope is 200mV peak and allows up to 5v input.

“BPF”
The signal will pass thru a band pass filter with cutoff frequency and band width control via “FREQ” and “WIDTH” pots.

Like this we will select the frequency range that will generate our control signal.

After this stage the signal will be outputed with synth level via “AUDIO OUT”.

“ENV.FOLLOWER”
After filtering the signal it will feed “RESPONSE” stage, that will determine envelope follower response velocity. It features a “HIGH”, “MEDIUM” and “lOW” selector switch to get an optimal envelope for different kind of signals. “FOLLO OUT” will otput the envelope extracted and show us it’s level via a LED. Green: Medium level, Orange: High level and Red: Max. Level.

“ENV.REGENERATOR”

“REGE OUT” is a re-generated envelope that will allow controlling the rise of the evelope with “ATTACK” and the fall with “DECAY”, making them longer or shorter.
It features a LED indicator for the regenerated evelope level. Green: Medium level, Orange: High level, Red: Max. Level.

“TRIG.EXTRACTOR”

With “THRESHOLD” pot we control the level of a comparator that determines when “GATE OUT” and “TRIGG OUT outputs will be activated.

“GATE OUT” will be at high level while the envelope is over the threshold we set, while TRIGG OUT is present just when the threshold is passed.

Indication LEDS will show when the outputs are active."

Befaco VC SLEW LIMITER Eurorack Module

via Befaco

Available assembled or as a DIY kit.

"Voltage controlled Slew limiter AKA Lag Processor

A Slew limiter is a device that smoothes an incoming signal, limiting the maximum rate of change of the output voltage per unit of time

It is widely used applying it to pitch CV to obtain portamento but can be very useful in other applications like convert a gate signal into a basic envelope

This module have independent time controls for rising and falling voltages, each of them with his own CV.
Also you can change the response from linear to logarithmic with a dedicated potentiometer"

Befaco JOYSTICK CONTROLLER Eurorack Module

via Befaco

Available assembled or as a DIY kit.

"Arcade style controller with 2 axis and 2buttons, 2 CV outs and 2 gate outs.

Atenuverters and offset control included for both CV outputs.

For visual reference two bicolor leds have been added for positive or negative plus intensity visual output reference. It also has 2 gate leds."

Befaco HEXA VCA Eurorack Module

via Befaco

Available assembled or as a DIY kit.

"Six voltage controlled amplifiers (VCAs).

It can be used as voltage controlled mixer since the sixth VCA can function as CV master.

This circuit is DC coupled so it may be used interchangeably for handling audio or control signals.

It has linear and logarithmic response modes individually selectable in the first five channels.
Two CV inputs per channel."

Befaco DUAL ATENUVERTER Eurorack Module

via Befaco

Available assembled or as a DIY kit.

"CV/Audio utility able to atenuate, invert and apply offset to an input signal.

With the main pot (atenuverter) at right it will multiply the signal by 1 and at the left will do by -1.

Offset control will add +/- 10V DC to the output. Quite useful as DC adder when no input is present.

Bicolor LEDS will turn on in red when the output signal is positive and becomes green when the signal is negative, this make the unit a good as CV monitor"

Befaco SLOPE GENERATOR II Eurorack Module

via Befaco

Available assembled or as a DIY kit.

"Dual multifunction ramp generator.

It can be used as :
Double Envelope Generator Attack / Decay. (Trigger mode)
Double Envelope Generator Attack( sustain ) Release. (Gate mode)
Complex envelope generator by mixing the two ramps in the sum output.
Double triangular /saw tooth voltage controlled LFO (repeat mode) It is synchronizable and also other waveforms achieved by feedback
Double audio oscillator (not volt per octave) if desired can only be active in the presence of a Gate
Double voltage controlled trigger delay.

Each of the two states has a “End”output that triggers at the end of this state to chain more ramps or events in other modules.

“Repeat IN” inputs enable the Repeat mode momentarily creating rhythmic effects.
Inspired by the famous 281 Quad Function generator of Buchla."

Befaco SAMPLING MODULATOR Eurorack Module

via Befaco

Available assembled or as a DIY kit.

"Sampling Modulator is a multi-function module. Something between a VCO a Sample & Hold and a 8 step trigger sequencer

It can work as:
-Sequencer clocked Sample and Hold. In this mode it is like a regular sample and hold, but since it is “sequencer clocked” make more interesting patterns than the usual S&H melodies because they can have more repetition.
The clock In, can work in two ways: Clock and Sync. Clock is just a typical clock and Sync is a “positive going Hard sync” so you can create shuffling and poly-rhythmic Fx with it.
also the hold In is useful to keep some notes on.

-Analog down sampling effect. In that mode (with the clock running at audio rates) you can go from nasty and harsh Sampling rate reduction to almost clean signal. (the clock run up to 25Khz without external CV and up to 200Khz with CV on the input)

-Sampling Modulator. (or maybe is better to call it sampling shaper)
Due to the V/oct clock, you can feed the IN with a simple wave shape like a sine, and later send pitch CV to that VCO and to the Sampling modulator CV In, so the two frequencies are related to each other and the aliasing created by the sampling rate reduction is also related to that frequency creating lots of clangorous metallic sound, 8 bit textures and much more. The game became much more interesting when you begging to destroy the wave turning on and off the switches of the sequencer. (sometimes it sound like tree VCOs the same time…)
To understand this mode keep in mind it have a temperature compensated ramp core VCO with more than 4 octaves tracking, so the timbre keep the same when you move trough different notes because the internal and external VCOs are moving same way in something like a “frequency related sampling rate modulation”

-8 step trigger sequencer. Just a regular utility trig generator, useful also as clock divider. The switches have tree position. On, Off and Reset (reset to the first step for non 4/4 signatures)

-Unusual V/oct VCO. You can use the trigger outs like a pulse VCO but when you switch on and off the switches timbre changes a lot

Befaco SPRING REVERB Eurorack Module

via Befaco

Available assembled or as a DIY kit.

"It´s been alwas discussed if electronic generated sound is less “realistic” than the acoustic generated sound. One of the main differneces is the natural inclussion of the acoustic space where an acoustic instrument is played in opposition of electronic generatd ones.A good technique to aproach both worlds is to simulate the acoustic feeling of a closed space.

The reverberation (effect produced by the space where the sounding object is) is the sum of all sound reflexions of a single sound, that reaches a point in differnet moments.

To simulate this effect we pass the sound thru a spring via two transcievers (one in each end). The sound will propagate and, thanks to the contraction and expansion capabilities of the spring, a series of reflexions will be generated. These are very similar to the ones that are generated in an acoustic space.

This module main features:

Two audio inputs. Both CVcontrolled plus slider control.
“IN1″ is routed both to “DRY” mix and reverb tank input.
“IN2″ Goes only to the reverb tank.
Two outputs
“WET” comes stright from reverb tank.
“MIX” is the mix of DRY signal and the outpur of reverb tank. It has CV control

This configuration allows to feedback “WET” signal back to the module via “IN2″ either a stright feedback of passing thru other modules before coming back to IN2.

Like this, with MIX control we never loose our original signal, controlling the ammount of reverber and feedback on the mix.

It features a high pass filter at the input of the tank to control the tone of the reverberations and an eventual saturation of the spring when we are doing a feedback.
There is a built-in vumeter at “WET” output to visualize level and eventual saturation of the signal."

This pack is inspired by a band from the UK called Bring Me the Horizon and features 64 samples (4 banks) of ambient guitars, strings, glitch and heavy drums with a few vocals and synth stabs thrown in. Anyone can slice up a song and do a finger drumming cover or remix on a midi controller, and while that takes skill, I decided to go a different route a build a pack to create your own song using a few elements/stems from BMTH and other various samples. With this you are not set in the limitations of a song/band/genre, nor are you playing a remix kit. This is simply a soundpack set in the tone of an awesome sound. Enjoy! -Kyle

monome earthsea eurorack module

earthsea introduction from tehn on Vimeo.

"grid-enabled shape memory pattern instrument.

the third monome module. see http://monome.org/modular"

"grid-enabled shape memory pattern instrument

december 2014

retail price: $320
requirements: monome grid controller (see note below *)
format: eurorack
width: 6hp
depth: 40mm (“skiff friendly”)
power: 12v: 18ma, -12v: 17ma, 5v: 42ma (grid unconnected), up to 600ma (grid connected, see note below **)
earthsea is a platform for playing, looping, and manipulating control-voltage gestures, which may take the form of melodies and timbral transformations.

a monome grid is plugged into the front panel of the module, serving as a complete interface. looped patterns continue to run when the grid is disconnected, facilitating hot-swap connection to other monome-enabled modules during performance.

built upon a map of tones, the grid becomes a playing surface for melodies. the edge output provides various gating modes including a fixed interval and drone mode.

multi-press gestures invoke shape-memories. three channels of cv memory are set by turning panel knobs per shape. instantly recall cv sets with different shapes, or glide between them with independent slew per channel and shape.

patterns of notes and shapes can be recorded into a bank of sixteen slots. gate, retrigger or loop playback while performing additonal notes or shapes atop. recall previous patterns from the bank, or perform the bank directly. patterns can also be performed across the keymap with arpeggiate mode, shifting the root note and retriggering the pattern.

shape-memories and all recorded patterns are storable to internal flash memory for instant recall on power-up. eight full presets can be stored and dynamically loaded.

additional magic shapes for pattern modulations make this instrument profoundly versatile."

Dub Jam - Volca Keys + Monotron + IL Remote

Published on Dec 1, 2014 Matt Keenan

"Quick little jam, trying out the new Volca Keys I got. Very fun little machine! And surprisingly deep for the price.

Download the track for free here:
https://keenan.bandcamp.com/track/vol...

Apologies for the iffy camera angle, it looked cool but I forgot my hands were going to be in the way...

The drums are coming from FL Studio, into the Korg Monotron Delay for processing then back into the PC.
Korg Volca Keys is using the built-in delay, and a bit of EQ and reverb on the PC.
IL Remote controls individual muting of the drums, and a high-pass filter on the Volca."

Verbos Harmonic Oscillator Melodic Loop

Published on Oct 5, 2014 stickmann

"Just a quick demo to show similarities between Buchla and Eurorack Harmonic Oscillators. Credits to djangosfire for his original Buchla video.

1) Harmonic Oscillator output to Verbos Amplitude and Tone Controller
2) A & TC to Dubmix channel 1 input then sent directly to soundcard
3) Maths Channel 4 EOC clocks a divider, Pressure Points + Brains sequence, and triggers Maths channel 1 envelope.
4) Maths Channel 1 envelope sends two outputs to A&TC, one to Linear CV in, other to Frequency CV in to mimic low pass gate.
5) Saw wave from Verbos Complex Oscillator used as an FM Source later in the video. CV Amount is controlled by a PP+Brains row.

Dry recording, no FX."
