New Synthesizers.com Q107A Filter

Published on May 1, 2017 synthesizersdotcom

"An introduction to the Q107A Filter module.

For more information visit http://www.synthesizers.com/q107a.html

Hosted by Roger Arrick of Synthesizers.com"

"The Q107A Filter is a single-wide version of our popular Q107 Filter. Both filters use the same circuitry, and they sound and operate identically. See the Q107 page for details about this filter.

Convert an existing Q107 double-wide filter to a Q107A single-wide filter with our conversion kit.

The Q107A lacks the Notch output and the input mixer attenuator. The Q162 Filter Mixer is compatible with the Q107A."

We asked him what makes the oscillators of the Peak unique, how they differ from earlier digital oscillators and what the benefits of this new technology are for synthesists."

New Møffenzeef Mødular MSG Desktop Mini Sound Generator

MSG DEMØ Published on May 1, 2017 Møffenzeef Mødular

via Møffenzeef Mødular

"The 'MSG' (Mini Søund Generatør) is a desktøp device whøse brain is a small, swappable cømputer chip (Attiny85). The maker can interchange chips tø alter the behaviør øf the instrument. Each chip cøntains a different synthesis technique: granular, phase distørtiøn, amplitude mødulatiøn, and frequency mødulatiøn.

Equipped with a 1/4” and DC pøwer jack, this lil’ bastard feels at høme while in the cømpany øf øther grubby “nøise kid” devices - especially cheap delay pedals. MSG is før løvers øf løfi, drøne, nøise, paranørmal activity, and glitch!

Søurce cøde can be døwnløaded frøm øur github and tweaked tø yøur liking free øf charge, høwever, we are alsø øffering øur chip bundles før thøse whø aren’t quite ready tø take the plunge intø cøde. The MSG ships with the granular algørithm as its default."

New LeafAudio NoiseFoc Experimental VCO Eurorack Module

LeafAudio - NoiseFoc (Euro) Demo

Published on May 1, 2017 TheLeafAudio

"NoiseFoc (Euro) is an experimental VCO with light control and power starving. Good for noise or non 1V/Oct stuff. It features 3 Oscillators: 2 controlled by potentiometers, 1 with a fix freq or light control. CV In, diode mixed Out, resistor mixed Out. It's also nice as a CV source (later in the video, the VCF was modulated by it's diode out).

The DIY kit will be available via www.exploding-shed.com or in the DIY workshops via www.leaf-audio.com"

SDIY Class # 6 - The Sensor Sandwich : A Ribbon Controller with Pressure Sensitivity

Published on May 1, 2017 Synth Diy Guy

"In this class we go through devising and constructing a simple ribbon controller made up of two sensors sandwiched together: A Softpot ribbon from Sparkfun, and a pressure sensor lifted from a broken keybed. A very fun way to interact with your analog synthesizers!

Some ideas: Add an attenuator for the ribbon CV output. Make the circuit into a module (will work fine in 12v) and use a din cable to send the sensor data from the controller to the module. Make a board with many of these in different sizes, joysticks and an antenna, to control different parameters. The possibilities are endless!

Aelita - very rare and legendary soviet analogue synthesizer

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

via this auction

"Aelita - the Queen of Soviet synthesizers.

This Aelita is a real museum example. In good working condition and comes with a pedal, original case (very very rare), original user manual and DIN audio cable. DIN audio to XLR cable will also be included. No missing parts whatsoever. All functions work well and the sound is beautiful!

About Aelita:
3-oscillator monophonic synthesizer produced by the Murom radio plant in USSR in the eighties.
The device is housed in a strong aluminum body.
The synth has really impressive analog sound - it is convenient for modeling of fat analog basses, classic rock leads, hard razor waves, various space FX`s, noises, ambient textures and much more... It is able to form both hard and soft timbres. By activating the UNISON function, the number of simultaneously sounding voices may be 5 or 6. Because you can detune the three independent oscillators, it is possible to create "one finger chord hits".
A wide range of modulation functions are available, including RING MODULATION.
A 5 DIN audio OUT is situated at the rear of the synthesizer for connection of the volume control pedal or an external mixer/amplifier."

Kawai K5M Rack Mount Additive Synthesizer w/DC-8 Memory Card

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

via this auction

"There aren’t many lower priced synths from this era that do a similar kind of additive synthesis. It’s can create some very harmonically rich sounds, really unique.

It is in complete working condition. The LCD is very legible though not backlit. (Actually, you see a lot of sellers claiming the backlight is dead but I don’t believe the K5m was lamplit behind the foil originally? I could definitley be wrong about that though.)

It is in good physical condition. There is definitely rack rash, scuffing and scratching but it doesnt affect its functional condition and nothing is broken or missing. The rear connections can be unscrewed and moved from 'rack position’ to ‘tabletop position’ very easily."

Update: here's one that was clearly backlit.

ROLAND D50 VINTAGE SYNTHESIZER & PG1000 PROGRAMMER w/ Original Boxes

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

via this auction

"The D50 has it's original protective plastic bag, and it's IEC lead is in it's plastic bag too, the midi cable with the PG1000 is in it's little Roland-branded plastic bag, the PSU for the PG1000 is the original Boss one, all manuals are original, which include the basic and advanced ones for the D50, plus the midi implementation guide, plus the laminated Edit Map card, plus the original PG1000 manual is present (slight mark to front of that, rest are near mint). The D50 shows minor signs of age-related wear and tear but nothing major, no dings or cracks. The PG1000 is immaculate. I'm not implying that either of these units are NOS, there is some storage wear to the boxes, and minor signs of use, but hopefully the pics speak for themselves; these are as good as I've seen anywhere. Both have clear bright screens, sliders and buttons working as they should, and whilst no guarantees are given or implied with these given the vintage nature, I can find no issues with either instrument, and my feedback should demonstrate that I take condition very seriously!"

KORG volca bass - space jam (space spiral, caverns, blueSky)

Published on May 1, 2017 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff, please support me on http://music.ollilab.com/

The KORG volca bass does get a bad rep from time to time reading forums on the internet etc. People have asked me on several occasions, dude, why do you have two of them, whats the point? Well, for me the point is that it's a great synth, and it sounds awesome considering the low price and with this video I would like to showcase what can be done with some nice FX.

I have really never done a solo jam with the volca bass before, I wanted to make it as massive as possible.. and as you can see I brought the big guns. :D Strymon BlueSky, Earthquaker devices space spiral, and the Keeley engineering caverns. :D Not really what You would call a fair competition to any synth out there.. but come on, let's have some fun :D

Not in the picture, there is a tc. electronics ditto X2 loopers on which I start a pre-recorded phrase 1/4 into the track (also recorded on the volca bass) .. so it's NOT playing on the sequencer :)

Also, there is an audible click at the end where I turn on the caverns shimmer reverb to end the jam... but hey, it's live right and stuff like that is expected?

Gear used: KORG volca bass, through the X2 looper, into the space spiral with some modulated delay.. into the caverns on a timed delay slighly off to the EQD to give a stereo feel.. then into the blue sky which has a modulated room reverb with a loooong decay.

Cheers, hope you like it!"

inside synthesis Review: Arturia MatrixBRUTE

Published on May 1, 2017 inside synthesis

"Music-heavy review, but I don't get too much into the specs (check their site if you want the granular details). One thing I forgot to mention is the 16x16 modulation matrix sounds like unlimited potential, but you only get 4 user routings (which I usually used up). I wish it were 8 user and 8 hardwired routings. But you get individual outputs for each control source, which makes it fantastic for controlling other synthesizers."
