Learning Modular: SSF Mixmode + Expander (LMS EE)


Published on Jul 19, 2017 Learning Modular

Playlist:

1. SSF Mixmode 1/4: Overview (LMS Eurorack Expansion Project)
This first of four movies on the Steady State Fate Mixmode 4:1 mixer gives an overview of its connections and controls, and then focuses on the usefulness of the invert switch on each input to create different timbres when mixing waveforms from the same oscillator (in this case, the sawtooth and square from a Moog Mother-32).

2. SSF Mixmode 2/4: Saturation (LMS Eurorack Expansion Project)
This second of four movies on the Steady State Fate Mixmode focuses on the subtle behavior of its Saturation mode, which adds an angled slope to the tops of waveforms such as a sawtooth or triangle (compared to clipping, which would just cut the top and bottom of the waveform off completely). I then compare this to the effect and sound of the Moog Mother-32’s own built-in saturation when you drive it with an external audio signal stronger than +/-5 volts.

3. SSF Mixmode 3/4: Expander (LMS Eurorack Expansion Project)
This third of four movies on the Steady State Fate Mixmode takes a look at its optional Expander module, which gives much more control over its saturation behavior (plus adds an additional 1/4” output). Knobs on the Expander’s front panel allow you to independently set the positive and negative saturation breakpoint from 4 to 10 volts, while control voltage inputs allow you to set it to any voltage. In addition to providing more varied effects compared to the subtle nature of the Mixmode’s default saturation, it allows for saturation and the resulting timbre shift to become a performable parameter.

4. SSF Mixmode 4/4: Percussion Overdrive (LMS Eurorack Expansion Project)
This fourth of four movies on the Steady State Fate Mixmode focuses on using its saturation capabilities with both synthesizes and sampled percussive sounds, including performing asymmetrical saturation and rhythmically changing the amount of saturation on different beats.

Roland SH-3A Vintage Analog Synthesizer w/ Hard Case

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

via this auction

"1973 example of the raw roland sh3-a monophonic analog synthesizer. Decent cosmetic condition. Sounds amazing! Has a few quirks. I suggest reading up on the split foot oscillator to better understand the way this thing works before bidding. The only issue this thing has is a few slightly scratchy sliders and the switches to change the wave shape of each individual feet of the oscillator are a bit finicky. With a gentle touch this is no impact on playability. Synth is built into it's own case."

If you look at the oscillator section on the bottom left, you will see sliders marked 32' down to 2', and you will see switches above each for the waveshape. The sliders allow you to bring in as much of each in the oscillator section as you want, similar to drawbars on an organ. In this vein, the SH-3A was both and additive and subtractive synth - additive in its oscillator section, and subtractive with it's filter.

Introni - Archive of Italian Electronic Magazines



I spotted this one in a post by Francesco Mulassano of Soundmit and Torino Synth Meeting. The image comes from this PDF. I was curious what exactly it was, and what synth was pictured, so I reached out to him. According to Francesco:

"Introni is a sort of archive of almost all old italian electronic magazines (and a few in other languages), very interesting archive, inexhaustible source of great pictures. Onde Quadre was one of this magazine, they spot sometimes synthesizers as a diy project like this.

SNAZZY FX: EternalSpring FILTER--VIDEO #1_ INTRO


Published on Jul 19, 2017 snazelle

"In this video, we introduce the Eternal Spring Filter, our trashy, squelchy filter module which is now available. This filter allows for a wide range of unique sounds, and this filter has a very unique character. It has a nice amount of analog movement to the resonance as it is NOT temperature compensated, and at lower drive settings this module adds a nice wash of noise to the Q.

It includes saturation circuits on the input and output as well as the resonance section, so it is truly non-linear: what you put in IS NOT what you get out.

Ideal for basslines, acid lines, trashing signals, audio rate modulation, experimental sounds, etc."
