DSI PRO 2 SYNTHESIS TUTORIALS
DSI PRO 2 BASS DRUM SYNTHESIS TUTORIAL ~ Synthesize This! Ep.01
Published on Dec 9, 2016 once upon a synth
"A tutorial on how to synthesize bass drum sounds on the DSI Pro 2 synthesizer. Synthesizing a bass/kick drum is relatively simple. The main idea is to simulate the response of a membrane being struck by a mallet. The crude approximation involves a sine wave whose frequency starts off really high but quickly drops down. The sine wave is achieved either via a sine wave oscillator directly or via a resonant low pass filter during self oscillation. In both cases, the sine wave's frequency is modulated via an ADSR envelope generator. In this video I demonstrate both approaches as well as adding effects like distortion or some of the character FX on the Pro 2. Finally I end with a simple demonstration of what the Pro 2's bass drum sounds like along with a Korg Volca Beats which I've synced via MIDI.
Let me know in the comments below if you guys have any other tips with regards to synthesizing kick drums. I'm still learning all this stuff so hopefully we can help each other out!

Synthrotek Case Power Mini For all Those Tight Spaces
via Synthrotek
"Power. More. Power. Albeit, smaller.
The Case Power Mini is a smaller, more affordable version of our Case Power. It is safe, clean, quiet, and will power small Eurorack systems. Connecting Case Power Mini to your current bus board system is easy with our molex Connector or Molex adapter cable. We have 3U or 1U power entry panels available, but Case power Mini doesn't have to take up valuable HP space; you can wire a jack, LED and switch into your case and easily attach them to the board.
Cool retro "mini" ad. Synthrotek is definitely good at them.

New Ants! Analog Modular Synthesizer From Plankton Electronics
Currently on kickstarter.
"An affordable modular analog synthesizer. Make your music with this pure analog sound machine.Ants! is:
Analog: true analog electronics and sound.Modular: connect the different parts and functions with standard 3.5mm pacth cords to create from classic to weird and new sounds.
Affordable: Ants! retail price will be 480€. Just a fraction of the cost of a basic eurorack modular system.
Compatible: 100% compatible with the eurorack voltage system and patching cords. It can be expanded it with most of the eurorack modules available in the market.
Portable: small size and desktop format.
Big: despite the small size Ants! have a lot of features which make it very powerful and versatile. Much more than a basic modular system.
Features:
4 Oscillators: yes, 4! V/Oct triangle-core oscillators. 2 of them switchable to LFO. Combining sinusoidal, triangle, saw, square and pulse with PWM. Play chords, detuned basses, octaved leads, drums, and frequency modulated sounds.
2 LFOs: 2 low frequency oscillators with triangle, square and pulse outputs.
VCF: switchable analog 12dB low-pass / 6db high-pass filter with resonance. At high input volumes it distort the signal. Self oscillating. It can sound crystal clear or really dirty.
2 A/R envelopes: 2 attack - release envelopes with manual and external controls. Working at different times.
Mixer: 3 input mixer. Mix oscillators, envelopes, noise or any other AC or DC signal.
2 VCAs: control the level of the signals with 2 analog VCAs.
Noise: a white noise source!
Sample and Hold: create random voltages, stepped sequences or dither your sounds or even your own voice.
AND gate: logic AND gate. Combine oscillators to create new waves, combine LFOs to create different patterns or mix your control signals to create complex modulations.
MIDI to CV: connect any MIDI keyboard, sequencer or computer and transform the digital signal to analog voltages for controlling the synth.
49 patch points, 28 potentiometers, 5 switches and 8 leds.
Normalized: Some connections are already made between some functions. Just connect your Midi or CV controller and play the synth without patching it. You can break any connection by plugging a patch cord to the normalized input."

The Waldorf Wave II
You are looking at renders of what was to be the Wadorf Wave II, designed by Axel Hartmann, the man behind the upcoming 20 Electronics synth, and hardware designer for numerous manufacturers including Access, Moog, and of course Waldorf. There was also the Waldorf Stromberg that never made it into production.
"Got to pull these out again . . . from somewhere in our archives. This baby was supposed to be the "Wave II", back in the days, somewhere around the year 2000. We have been working on some wicket ideas then; - wanted to use huge trackballs, to create animated surround sound coming directly out of that machine. Also, for the lefthand controls, we were trying to implement some ideas that I had years before, when working on the "Gambit" study. I was asking myself; - why should a keyboard player, who is capable of doing the wildest things with his left hand, be limited to using just the hand or the thumb to control things . . . so we came up with the 4 dynamic switches array; - one switch for each finger, in combination with a pitch bender, that we stole from Hans / Nord (sorry for that, but it is such a GREAT thingie . . .). The switches have been located ergonomically perfect, just below the left edge of the wheel block . . . Also, look at that display . . . oh man . . ."
"A synth with balls."
"The entire front panel is a glass surface; - printed from the back. Of course, the pots are all encoders with lightrings. OK; - it is a bad rendering; - but not too bad for the time, when it was created ;-)"
"Achja; - klar - polyphonic pressure . . ."

New Pittsburgh Modular Impulse Filter Demo Video
Published on Dec 9, 2016 Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers
"Organic and percussive, the Dynamic Impulse Filter utilizes an entirely new, all analog design to replicate the impact transients and vibrance of a percussion hit. The result is a versatile lowpass filter that sounds natural and energetic. The Dynamic Impulse Filter works in one of three modes, lopass filter with resonance, high quality VCA, and a combined mode that manages both harmonics and gain at the same time. The core of the filter uses a Sallen-Key topology to produce a smooth two pole filter that will self-oscillate at high resonance settings."
"Lifeforms Dynamic Impulse Filter
A New Species of Low Pass Gate
Organic and percussive, the Dynamic Impulse Filter utilizes an entirely new, all analog design to replicate the impact transients and vibrance of a percussion hit. The result is a versatile filter module that sounds natural and energetic.
We Love Vactrols Too...
The fruit of over two years of research and development, the Dynamic Impulse Filter evolves the lowpass gate into the present by retaining the sonic characteristics we love about vactrols while solving all the problems that come with it. The unique design of the Dynamic Impulse Filter replaces the vactrol with a modern analog circuit created to replicate and expand on the signature sound of the vactrol. The response time of the Dynamic Impulse Filter is not static like a vactrol; instead it is tunable allowing the response of the module to adapt to any musical context.
The suggested retail price for the Lifeforms Dynamic Impulse Filter is $229 and it begins shipping to authorized resellers December 16. More information is available at www.pittsburghmodular.com/lifeforms-dynamic-impulse-filter"

MICHAL HO - So You're A Drum Machine Too?
Published on Oct 2, 2016 Michal Ho
"Jamming minimal glitch dub beats on a single Moog Mother 32.
M32 - michal ho's initial beat patch:
NOISE to LIN FM gives you a slightly different, sharper flavour than mixing osc wave and noise, and it leaves your external input unused.
KB to MULT enables you to use different notes for different sounds.
MULT 1 to VCF ensures low notes or kicks play without noise, high notes play with noise, as hihats. Mid notes blend osc and noise and yield toms and snares.
MULT 2 to VCF RES ensures high notes or high hats have more treble and sound thinner. Low notes have less resonance and therefore more bass.
Once patched, the trick is to find the right sequencer notes to generate BD, SN and HH and tweak further settings to your liking (try note length / EG decay, etc.)"

"one of the original versions of the Electro Lobotomy "Sonic Architecture Lab" but I'm now in post-graduate school mode and need to sell large chunks of my gear. This thing is great for noiseniks, exercises in industrial esotericism, and goth dungeons. Connect it to a delay pedal or reverb and a whole slew of insane noises are at your finger tips.
From electro lobotomy:
-2 independent QUAD NAND GATE synths, 8 oscillators total. ( 4 red knobs on top left and top right )
- Power starve for each nand gate synth. ( middle left and middle right red knobs )
- Global power starve knob ( chicken head knob on front of case )
- Banana jack patch bay in the center ( 5 outs and 5 ins for each nand synth )
- Mixer section, volume for each nand synth ( white knobs top center )
- 4 attenuators with ins and outs ( 4 red knobs along the bottom, 2 in each nand synth section )
- White Led's for each synth section
- 1/4" output jack
- DC jack ( tip = negative )
As you can see in the pictures, one of the edge has a nick in, but that's merely cosmetic and does not affect functionality. Included are a generic 9v adapter, 6 banana cables for patching this baby, and the 9v battery connector should you prefer to use batteries in place of a wall outlet. Brand new one of these will set you back $200, I'm starting the bidding low, so get after it. :)"

How to learn Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer - Tutorial: FM Synthesis Sound Design Tub Bells Part 1
Published on Dec 8, 2016 Power DX7
"This is a second tutorial of the FM synthesis tutorial series that I’m planning. As I need to cater for a wider audience, I decided to create this ‘how to’ tutorial series from the very beginning, starting from the very basics of the FM synthesis and Yamaha DX7 synthesizer.
I will use the famous Tub Bells patch as an example for the FM sound design process. I will take you through the DX7 FM parameters, including Algorithm, Feedback and Oscillator. The reason why I picked the famous Tub Bells patch is that it is one of my favourite (and I'm sure a lot of people like the iconic DX7 sound), and it is one of the easiest patch to explain how the FM synthesis works to beginners and new comers to the DX7 and FM synthesis. Initially I will focus on analysing the famous Tub Bells patch, then I will going into improving the famous sound using Priority Parameters."
