"I've done a small modification by unsoldering the bender wire to one of the VCO's so when the VCO's are synced together and the bender used it results in screaming harmonic distortion as the slave VCO attempts to follow the bent VCO. This could be resoldered if not desired or maybe brought out to a switch on the rear panel. Specs are 2 VCOs, 2 VCFs (1 switchable LP/BP/HP and 1 BP), 1 VCA, 1 AR Env and 1 ADSR Env, 2 LFOs, Ring Modulator, Sample and Hold, Noise Gen (white and pink), 5 input mixer (Noise, VCO1, VCO2, Ring Modulator and EXT) and countless switching possibilities (most switches are 4 position slide switches)"

JLR Live At Noisebug


Published on Mar 19, 2016 John L Rice

"After the 2016 Winter NAMM Show I stayed a couple extra days down in southern California to visit with my friends Chuck Oken Jr., Nik Muso and crew at their beautiful synth store Noisebug in Pomona CA. http://www.noisebug.net/

We had originally planned since the previous NAMM Show for me to stay a couple extra days and get in a nice long jam or two since Chuck and Nik are both fine musicians. But a week before I left home the idea popped into my head that we could have a gathering at the store for an impromptu Q & A mini seminar so people who couldn't make it to NAMM could learn about the newest gear and talk about modular synths in general. It quickly turned into just me talking about synths and whatever came to mind.

Chuck recorded the audio out of the mixer but there were no mics so none of the discussion recorded. Assembled here are some of the better bits of the recording and several still shots from the event including the crazy event flyer image Chuck and I created. ;-) I took most of the photos except for the one Nik took @ 14:00 and the one A.DAPT took @ 27:00 (thanks guys! :-)

Also many thanks to Gert Jalass of Moon Modular for his continuing friendship and support!"

Stereoping Midicontroller for Sequential Prophet VS - realtime programming and DAW-automation


Published on Mar 19, 2016 stereoping

"This product demo shows some sound editing on the Sequential Prophet VS using the Stereoping Synth Controller which is a specialized midi hardware programmer available in many editions for Matrix 1000, Microwave, TX81Z and many more.

This edition of the controller is named 'ProVessorS' and does not cover ALL parameters of the Prophet VS but makes programming MUCH easier and funny - especially for VCA/VCF envelope rates and levels. The 4 Oscillator's Wave numbers, coarse and fine tunings are
also in direct access.

This 10-minutes-video has 7 quick chapters: Starting point is the main concept of the UI. 2. shaping the init-patch of the VS into a nice sound while being sequenced. 3. & 4. show realtime tweaking of vector envelope rates and LFOs. Chapter 5 shows how quick and easy patch name editing works with the 'letter dial mode'. In 6 you'll see remoting and automating the Prophet VS through ordinary Controller-Change messages in Fruity Loops and Ableton. The last chapter 7 demoes Detuning and Unison. Be sure not to miss this very strange but extremely cool sound the Prophet VS accidently makes when changing a wavenumber in Unison - shown from 8:57 on.

The video was recorded using 2 cameras, one showing the controller while being used, the other cam with focus on the Prophet VS display reflecting the realtime changes. In case you're wondering - the display of the VS is not the original. The faceplate of the controller in the video is an early paper printout, the final one is black not blue.

Hope you like it :-)"

Monoplugs Releases Monique - The unique Synthesizer


Published on Mar 19, 2016 Monoplugs

Update: you'll find the official product page here.

Monique Basics Tutorial


via Monoplugs Magazin:

"What’s Monique? Monique is a monophonic, subtractive, digital synthesizer with the focus to create raw bass and lead sounds like you know from the analogue world. Still not impressed? Tough crowd, but understandable! Along with these brilliant capabilities, is Monique’s custom morphing feature. Morphing gives you the capabilities of 8 different programs in one! This is perfect for real-time jamming, and live performances. Not only that, you can also evolve one of the existing presets – or you can use it for sound and rhythm design, by turning on one or more of the four Morph LFO’s.

Whether you’re a professional or a newcomer, Monique is a bit different – you should really watch the Monique Basics Video. In the introductory 13-minute video, we explain Monique from the first click to the completed composition!"

Roland SVC-350 Vocoder

"The SVC350 is essentially the same the vocoder section in the VP330, just in a smaller rack form. Yet unlike the VP330, the SVC350 has graphic EQ section that allows you to shape the tone with more control than a VP330 does. This is a classic sounding vocoder, really awesome with vocals and synthesizers but especially cool when paired with drum machines, guitars and effects."

Roland DJ-70 Keyboard Sampler SN ZE01032

via this auction

Note the scratch wheel on the right.

"Roland DJ-70 Keyboard Sampler in good condition. Upgraded to 4 meg Ram. Everything works perfect. All the buttons sliders etc function properly. There is a scratch on one key. The cap on the sampling level knob is missing-the knob is intact and works fine...you can see the missing cap in the photos.

This is an easy sampling keyboard to use. The scratch wheel is awesome. A great live sampler. Sounds great-whatever you sample sounds better than the source!

Besides being a 16 bit sampler, the DJ-70 includes many features that no other sampler offers - like the incredible scratch wheel. Take any sound (Drums, phrases, your voice) and assign it to the scratch wheel and you can scratch it like a record! It also has 8 assignable trigger pads that play back your sample at the touch of a button, great for one shot sound effects that you want to keep handy. You can also build up sounds in a synthesizer fashion by combining different samples, crossfading between them using velocity, apply TVA and TVFs (filters). It also has an 8 track sequencer. The features go on and on."

Pitch sequence from Rene

Balanced Modulator Patch
(several sounds were derived from this patch by changing Rene's Gate outs, wiggling octaves, FM depth, etc.)
Sequencer 1 driving the pitch
Maths enveloping the Optimixes
which receive the signal from the balanced mod setup:
2 Sputniks going into the uVCAs with inversions
(Sputnik 1 is also lightly FM'ing Sputnik 2)
PEG is controlling the FM depth (via Classic VCA) and
modulating Expo/Pitch on Sputnik 1

Machine Noise Patch
(these are the loud whirring sounds from around 4:05)
Rene (getting Glide data from Sequencer 1) driving
the STO and the Rubicon
STO putting out Vari Shape (modulated by PEG)
and Sine out to Timbre (modulated by PEG at 180 deg phase)
Optomix enveloped by Maths
Rubicon square out (PWM'd by Seq 1 LFO, Symmetry modulated by Maths), some QR noise and Timbre output are mixed
and sent to Optomix enveloped by Maths

Drums in Spark (electronic) Jamstix (hand percussion) and modular (bleep bloops)
