Synthpro's year of Restorations and stuff, (Original Music)


Published on Jan 28, 2015 synthpro

"Hello Everyone,

It has been a while since I have posted any new videos so here it is. As you will see from the video, I have been up to quite a bit of work on top of my full time job, have not had much time to make any individual restoration videos like I was hoping for.

In a nutshell, this year consisted of 3 Memorymoog Restorations, 4 Polymoog restorations/ repairs, Moog rogue work, and some personal time with some of my own instruments.

The Music:

The Name of this track is Mechanical Lifestyle.

What you are hearing on this track is my Roland CR-78 being clocked from my Cubase click track using the Future Retro SWYX box. At the same time I had my minimoog Voyager XL LFO synced to the same clock and then had it patched into my 1972 Minimoog model D for Sample and Hold on the VCF. The Voyager XL was used for the backing bass sweep. There are many other tricks I used as well.

As always guys, thanks for watching and take care,
Jareth/ Synthpro"

Metasonix Waveshaper/Ringmod TM-1 SN 198

via this auction

"This Metasonix TM-1 is item which was discontinued in 2009. The TM-1, like all Metasonix products, was lovingly handcrafted in Lakeport, California (by fairies).

'VERY WEIRD AND WONDERFUL ! ' is how one of our customers described this unit. If you are the type who likes things that are different , the Metasonix TM-1 may be just what you have been searching for. With its all vacuum tube circuit, there is no mistaking the sound of the TM-1 with any other device.

Metasonix took the basic circuit of their award-winning TS-21 Hellfire Modulator, and added the world's first vacuum tube audio ring modulator. The result is a new sound-effects device in a small, economical package. The sound is totally unique, powerful and distinctive. Use it as a stand-alone effects box, or mount it in a modular synth with the optional TM-D or TM-M kit.

The pentode preamp gives gain and distortion; the pulser injects small pulses on top of the signal; and the beam tube gives both wavefolding and ring modulation (carrier provided by an internal wide-range oscillator, or inject your own carrier signal). The TM-1 can also be used as a self-contained pseudorandom signal generator, by patching its output back to its input. You've read about "strange attractors" and other chaotic sound generation techniques? The TM-1 is the first all-tube chaotic sound generator. The results must be heard to be believed!

Frequency response: less than 10 Hz to greater than 40 kHz
Distortion: from less than 0.1% to 100%, depending on control settings and input waveform
Hum and noise: less than 0.5 mV
Power input: 10 - 12 volts AC, 50/60 Hz, 0.8 amp at idle
Inputs: phone jacks for audio input; optional inputs for beam-tube CV, VCA CV, and ring-modulator external carrier (requires at least 20v p-p signal for full effect) Output: audio (mono)
Dimensions: 7 1/2" (192mm) x 4 3/8" (112mm) x 3" (77mm)
Weight (not including accessories): 5 pounds (2.2 kg)"

New Cogito Cartesian Sequencer for Audulus




"Using Audulus for audio processing and pushing the iPhone to its ultimate limit, Audulus user Bimini Road has created Cogito, a Cartesian Sequencer. Building on the work of other talented Audulus users--JDRaoul, afta8, and jjthrash, --- the patch is worked out and explained in detail on the Audulus Forum.

The Cogito Sequener’s user interface is enabled by the Custom Nodes upgrade, an Audulus feature which allows custom-designed user interfaces.

Audulus is a minimalist modular software synthesizer and effects processor. With Audulus, users can build synthesizers, design new sounds, or process audio. All with low latency real-time processing suitable for live performance.

Audulus for iOS is available on the App Store for $14.99. An iPhone 4s or iPad 2 is required.

Audulus for Mac is available on the Mac App Store for $29.99. Mid 2010 or later Mac is required.

Audulus for Windows is available directly through audulus.com for $29.99. Buy now and receive ALL in-app upgrades FREE. That’s $45 worth of upgrades.

For more information, visit audulus.com."

The following are some details on the sequencer captured from the Audulus forum. Impressive.

"Ok, so here it is - the first (somewhat buggy) draft of Cogito, my Cartesian Sequencer - so called because...well, you'll see. I pushed the iPhone to its absolute limit with this one. It only takes up - ONLY, haha - 30% of the CPU, but I can *barely* get it to work with a synth beefier than 1 OSC node, 1 ADSR, 1 delay, and 1 reverb. It's official - I need to get a new Mac if I really want to pursue my Audulus dreams.

First, thanks are in order:

Circadian Rhythms


Circadian Rhythms from Tiptop Audio on Vimeo.

http://www.angleproject.net

Video shot & edited by: Angle
Soundtrack written and produced by: Angle
Thanks to: Samuel Scapigliati, Tenax (Florence)

The Circadian Rhythms is moving modular synthesizer technology another step forward by gluing all the pieces of a system together. Each module or voice can now be programmed to play straight from an intelligent, eight-channel, 512-step master trigger sequencer made for composers looking to make music on the modular. Building on the sequencing concept of step programing multi-channel patterns of musical phrases can be repeated, looped, chained, muted and manipulated on the fly in real-time, and most importantly, all of this is done through a simple, clearly labeled interface. Using an array of multicolor illuminated buttons and innovative grid views provides a highly functional live performance sequencer with a beautiful glowing appearance of the programmed music that will look amazing on stage for both performer and crowd. As a master controller, the heart of the modular synthesizer, Circadian Rhythms generates high precision clock and reset signals for all the other sequencers and devices in the system to align with and can also act as a high precision bridge for DAW synchronization.

"Vintage Wavemakers Modular Systems kb 658 digital sequencer

This unit was tested with a condor power supply and found to be in working condition, but it's currently in need of a wood case, power supply, and it could use a new 9 volt battery connector to store sequences. (1 battery post is currently broken off)

Tested with my eurorack system and Arp 2600. And it seems to work fine.

But, please:
Bid accordingly due to age, rarity and please keep in mind it could need repair or maintenance to be 100%

from the estate of Dr. Terry Kincaid, designer of Wavemakers modular systems here in seattle.

John Loffink of wavemakers-synth.com should be able to help with any repairs needed. this is a rare chance to own a piece of music industry history."

Aufnahme mit einem seltenen Hammond Synthesizer 102200


Published on Jan 27, 2015 Jimi Grok

"The deep synth sound is a loop from the hammond synth. Also the high sound is the same loop mangled with a plugin. Just the drums are not from the synth .."

YouTube description in German (Googlish further below):

"Hammond Synthesizer 102200

Der sehr seltene Hammond Synthesizer von 1974-75 wurde nur ca. 200 mal produziert. Bei dem Synthesizer handelt es sich um einen monophonen Synthesizer mit ca. 300 Variationsmöglichkeiten.
Die oberen Regler dienen für WIND, VOLUME und TUNE.
Die Taster können spaltenweise einzeln gedrückt werden.
In der Spalte TONE SWITCH ist es auch möglich mehrere Tasten gleichzeitig zu drücken.
Die Spaltenbeschriftungen von links nach rechts sind: TONE PTICH, TONE FILTER, FILTER RISE & FALL (WIDTH / SPEED), ATTACK & DECAY, PITCH BEND und MODULATOR.
Es gibt zudem noch 6 Presets.

Vorteilhaft finde ich den TUNE Switch, der als Schieberegler meiner Meinung nach besser zu bedienen ist als ein Drehknopf. Leider ist die Geschwindigkeit der Wellenform nicht stufenlos einstellbar aber alles in allem war der Synth seiner Zeit voraus.

Ein Video mit Klangbeispielen des Synthesizer folgt."

Googlish:

"Hammond Synthesizer 102200

The very rare Hammond Synthesizer 1974-75 was only produced about 200 times. The synthesizer is a monophonic synthesizer with 300 variations.
The top set is for WIND, VOLUME and TUNE.
The button can be pressed in columns individually.
In the TONE SWITCH column, it is also possible to press multiple keys simultaneously.
The column labels from left to right are: Ptich TONE, TONE FILTER FILTER RISE & FALL (WIDTH / Speed) ATTACK DECAY & PITCH BEND and MODULATOR.
There is also a further 6 presets.

Advantageously, I find the TUNE switch, which is better to use as a slider in my opinion as a knob. Unfortunately, the speed of the wave form is not adjustable but all in all the synth ahead of its time.

A video with sound samples of synthesizers follows."

Nova Musik - Modal Electronics 002 Synthesizer with Paul Maddox at NAMM 2015


Published on Jan 28, 2015 Nova Musik

"Company co-founder and principal designer Paul Maddox of Modal Electronics (née Modulus) walks through the features of his Modal Electronics 002 analog/digital hybrid polysynth at NAMM 2015. After the overview he surfs through some example patches (with direct-in stereo sound).

Using high quality components, the Modal Electronics 002 is a premium product designed to be the flagship in the Modal Electronics range. The keyboard layout includes a semi-weighted, five octave key mechanism and has been ergonomically designed by musicians so that the hands fall naturally and intuitively to the controls. It provides twelve discrete voices of polyphony with full multi-timbrility if required. Adding to the ease of use is a large integral display screen that is context sensitive, i.e. it displays the control parameters of any control knobs immediately when touched by the user. Quick recall banks enable preset sequences and settings to be stored for instant use such as during a live performance. NCOs (numerically controlled oscillators) are used for stability and accuracy while an analogue transistor ladder filter provides classic ‘warm’ sounds."

Waldorf Microwave XTK Wavetable Synthesizer

via this auction

That is one orange synth. One of my favorite looking synths actually. The shade of orange seems to depend on the lighting. If you zoom in you'll see it has Nextel paint which gives it a soft suede-light texture. The early Waldorf synths had this type of finish to them.  Beautiful synths. The only problem with the XTk is it's aftertouch. It pretty much an on/off affair and it can be difficult to get smooth transitions with it.  It's a shame it was never addressed, as the XTk was otherwise a nearly perfect synth.
