Buchla 2040 - Emu Filter module - test 1

Published on Sep 26, 2015 DJjondent
Update: the video has been pulled. I'll put a new post up to let you know if it comes back.

"A bit of testing for a DIY Buchla format module.
The audio source is a vintage Buchla 144.
The 2040 uses a SSM 2040 filter chip."

"The top is a clone of the LP filter from the Emu Systems Audity Synth and SSM 2040 voice card.
The PCB is from Analog Metropolis.
It is designed for Eurorack with pots mounted on the PCB.
You can still buy this PCB from AM Synths.

The filter is a 4 pole with cutoff of 24dB/Oct.
The module uses the SSM 2040 filter chip which was designed by Dave Rossum of Emu.. Apart from the Emu synth, this chip can be found in the Digisound 80-7.,Octave Cat (MKII), the Prophet 5 (rev.1 & 2. .......NOT Rev 3 prophets, which use Curtis chips) and the legendary RSF Kobol."

via Thomann UK

Update: Additional details via the MAM MB33 page:

"The MB33 Retro is manufactured completely in Germany, including assembly, mounting, casing, print and packaging – which is something, we are particularily proud of.

My thanks go to Hans Thomann and Bernd Siegismund from Musikhaus Thomann and Hari Rupp from the Music Store in Cologne, without whom this project would not have been possible. Thanks also to Artur Grönke and Harry Brandes, both of which have contributed greatly to the development of the MB33.

As with all analog devices the tolerance within the individual components is different from each other. Thus each MB33 is unique and always sounds somewhat different. This is what makes up a large part of the appeal for analogue instruments. Thus creating a much smaller device due to the SMD construction, it still contains all relevant components of the original.

The MB33 Retro was, like his predecessor, developed by Dipl.Ing. Stefan Schmidt.
Stefan Schmidt is one of the best engineers worldwide in this field , emphasized by building his own synthesizer „Schmidt“, a high-end synthesizer, used in all the top studios in the world. As with the original it was despensed of the on-off switch, since the power supply consumes almost 20 times more electricity than the MB33 by itself.

Questions and suggestions please address to „service@mam-germany.de“

1. TUNE: fine pitch tuning +/- 50 cent
2. WAVE: Blends the waveforms square and sawtooth
3. CUTOFF: Sets the upper cutoff frequency of the filter
4. RESONANCE: Creates resonances in the square frequency
5. ENV MOD: intensity of an Envelope to the cutoff frequency
6. ENV DECAY: Decay time of the Envelope
7. ACCENT: is triggered via MIDI and affects Envelope, Cutoff and Volume
8. VOLUME: volume control at the output of MB33
9. MIDI-LED: alternately on incoming MIDI signals, permanently at Autotune
10. ON-LED: the MB33 is on
11. Output: Audio output of MB33
12. SCALE / OFFSET: Adjusts the intensity of the cutoff controller
13. VCF IN: Audio signal can be processed via the VCF of the MB33
14. MIDI IN: socket for controlling the sound generator of the MB33
15. MIDI CH: Set the MIDI channel (see below)
16. DEMO / AUTOTUNE: Activates AUTOTUNE (in normal operation), or the DEMO ( button down while turning on)
17. 12V AC: Socket AC adapter

bs-16i with 3D touch - 1st iOS Synth to Implement Physical Aftertouch With New 3D Touch?

Published on Sep 26, 2015 bismark

"Trying to assign 3D touch to MIDI after touch"

Pretty cool when you think about it. Physical aftertouch is now possible on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Question is it on/off only? There's also two levels of 3D Touch, the initial press and the second. Now Apple just needs to implement release velocity. Think of people using that in public.

Ginko Synthese Grains - granular sample playing

Published on Jun 28, 2015 Fading Canvas

"Getting a dark ambient soundscape by feeding sound of Ginko Synthese Grains module into the Mutable Instruments Clouds. Standard firmware used on Grains. Running Parasites firmware on Clouds, regular granular processing mode, all blend parameters at full maximum. Lots of modulation done on the two modules. Little patch explaination in the video."

Yamaha TQ5 Tone Generator Sound Module FM Synth

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

via this auction

"This is a sound module, FM synth, basically an 'entry-level' FM synth. This unit is in working order, I've used it extensively, recorded with it, etc... However it does have a few quirks that I never did figure out, the date and time settings never stay when I set them, and also it always starts up out of tune. By that I mean the 'tune' setting always resets to +62, meaning it's sharp. Not a huge deal, but it may need a new battery, not sure..."

John Bowen Solaris Synthesizer SN 00213

via this auction

"For sale is a John Bowen Solaris synthesizer. This Solaris was custom made for me with detent encoders as opposed to the endless. If you are considering this synth then you should already know what it is. What you cant know unless you have played one before is the extreme high quality of construction. This synth is solid with the a beautiful keyboard that feels fantastic to play. It is built to last. The Solaris is made to sculpt sound.

The condition of this Solaris is like new, taking it out of the box you might well think you ordered it new. It comes with power supply, manual and the original shipping box."

Kord MS-10 Synthesizer x 2 Demo

Published on Sep 25, 2015 Mike B

"Two Korg MS-10 monophonic synths patched together. Bottom one plays a sine drone, and I manipulate the top synth, and the bottom a little, and its like having a two Oscillator MS-10, better than the MS-20, you can vary the pulse width via modulation, something you cant do on the MS-20."

"This is just a pre-view from a sculpture sound based on electro mechanic circuit running into an analog signal path and a phonocaptor cartdrige reading a copper etching (Dürer's Rhinoceros). You are listening a single voice but you'll ear 6 voices in a multichannel system.
