Mini Documentary Videos with Analogue Systems Bob Williams & Steve Gay


tribute to the real analogue from HerrSchneider on Vimeo.

Interesting bit on the Minimoog Model D's envelop behavior at 5:33. Analogue Systems and Doepfer were the first two manufacturers of the eurorack format, however, they do use different power systems. An interesting side note: I tried looking Analogue Systems up on Wikipedia to see when they formed along with a history of some of their products, and there isn't a page on them. There is one, however, for Doepfer. Someone needs to fix that.

"Explaining the eurorack filterbank module RS360 as a polyphonic Sinewave Generator of high quality is one of the hints that are given by these gentlemen from cornwall, south England about their products as Analogue Systems. Bob Williams (right) and Steve Gay (left) are telling about their first basic real analogue modules made from the knowledge they got from producing a great 19" Filterbank once. They talk about the dirty moog filter and the flexibility you have with the loop function in the RS060 envelope, about the still outstanding waveform shift in the RS95 VCO that is still offered for quite affordable rates in europe and elsewhere."


Analogue Systems about EMS in the eurorack.. from HerrSchneider on Vimeo.

"Steve Gay and Bob Williams gave us a relaxed update about their UK based source of eurorack modulars called Analogue Systems in their hometown down in cornwall. Steve Gay - who used to work for EMS once - introduced us to the facts of the direct connection of this quality brand to EMS, the (historical) source of experimental synth sounds from the UK. Bob Williams always was the brain and the smart promoter that we met on the synth shows worldwide knowing all the talents and outstanding possibilities of the Analogue Systems - still not (and probably never) topped by all the others of nowadays, but .. 'nothing remains the same.', so hear smart comments '.. about the restricted chip based oscillators .." and about '.. the very strange quirks.." of the EMS Filter type. "


the masterpiece by Analogue Systems from HerrSchneider on Vimeo.

"Steve Gay and Bob Williams alias 'Analogue Systems' (UK) describe their latest release: The eurorack module RS450, a remake / mixup of once the historical EMS KS sequencer and twice the prominent SH101 sequencer, combining their outstanding possibilities with modern digital ones, so it could be a 14 kHz Sampler at the same time so you could record audio and manipulate it with your control voltages.

Listen to the original inventors of these quality series of modulars from cornwall, south england and enjoy their fascination for the old school technique for modern times.

All eurorack modulars are available wordwide thru competent retail stores."


let the goldfish perform from HerrSchneider on Vimeo.

Your music could be played by a goldfish or stormy winds with a (so far) quite underrated module by Analogue Systems: Bob Williams and Steve Gay explain their idea, the history and the possibilities of their prominent used eurorack module RS35. It is the follow up model of the RS30 and can transform incoming music into a CV for its volume as an envelope follower and it can read out a frequency as a VC value to follow a melodie with your modular or any kind of an analogue VCO. .. listen yourselves.. and dont miss the other interviews made in Cornwall, south england where Analogues Systems is based, still.

All their modulars are available thru competent retail stores such as SchneidersLaden (EC) or Big City Music (US). If you like to put a system together go to analoguesystems(dot)de and use that modular planner for your visions.
