"Time for some slow, emotional sad fish music! Finding Nemo has such a powerful soundtrack. It was the first soundtrack to really open my ears to the work of Thomas Newman. This was one of the songs that really moved me to do a whole month of Pixar music. I hope you enjoy!"

New England Audio Retroaktiv HLFO Eurorack Module


New England Analog Archives
Published on Aug 8, 2017

This is the first post to feature the New England Audio Retroaktiv HLFO eurorack module.

"The Retroaktiv HLFO (Haptic LFO) is a 10HP module for Eurorack systems. It is a voltage controlled LFO with a touch sensor, noise source, and sample & hold unit. It features a suite of useful functions, packed into a small module. Features include: LFO with voltage controlled rate and amplitude. LFO can be controlled by force sensor on panel, or by external CVs. Force sensor output = 0-5V. Built in sample & hold with noise generator. When no external source is connected to the S&H, HLFO noise source is normalized to the S&H input. S&H rate and amplitude can be controlled by external CVs or the onboard touch sensor.

In this video, I am running a VCO through a 2-pole Oberheim-style VCF. I'm generally running the main LFO out (the output with amplitude attenuation) to the VCO, and am running the sample & hold output to the filter cutoff. Sometimes I have the touch sensor routed to the filter or the VCO. Even if something is plugged into the touch sensor output, the touch sensor still gets normalized to the rate and amplitude inputs of the LFO unless something is connected to those jacks.

The oscilloscope in the video is connected to the main LFO output. Despite all of the wacky waveforms I'm making in this video, the HLFO can function like a standard tri/squ/S&H LFO. Any keyboard aftertouch sensor can also be connected to the HLFO, which makes it a great module to interface with a mod wheel or aftertouch."

Plankton Electronics Ants! Mini Modular Synthesizer


Perfect Circuit Audio
Published on Aug 8, 2017

"Here are four patches with the powerful and compact Ants! modular synthesizer from Plankton Electronics.

Ants! from Plankton Electronics, is a standalone desktop analog modular synth. It contains four analog VCOs, two of which can double as LFOs, as well as two dedicated LFOs, providing six oscillators in all. Complete with a resonant VCF, two Envelope generators, two VCAs, Sample & Hold modulation, a noise generator, and a few mixing capabilities, one can fit an entire modular synth in a backpack. A MIDI to CV converter is built in, meaning one can play Ants! easily with a MIDI controller or via MIDI tracks in a DAW.

Bob Moog Summer Raffle for a Memorymoog Plus & Science of Synthesis Summer Camps!


via The Bob Moog Foundation

"Summer is full of all kinds of wonderful treats, and the subject of our raffle is no exception.

We are excited to be launching our summer raffle for a vintage Memorymoog Plus synthesizer in excellent technical and physical condition. As you know by now, our raffles provide both a very lucky winner with an extraordinary synthesizer as well as providing the Bob Moog Foundation with important funding for our hallmark education project, Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, and for the preservation of the Bob Moog Foundation Archives.

Read more about the Memorymoog Plus and enter to win the raffle here.

In addition to the long list of the unique functionality of the Memorymoog, the Memorymoog Plus differs from the original model by its added features of a MIDI interface, sequencer, and enhanced oscillator stability. Its lauded sonic power comes from the three oscillators per each of the six voices, resulting in a staggering total of 18 oscillators! It also boasts six amps, six filters, 12 ADSR envelopes, and has an estimated value of $10,000.

As if all of that wasn't enough, the karma factor on this instrument is extremely high. Many thanks to Lee Keeley who donated the Memorymoog Plus to us, and to synth tech extraordinaire Wes Taggart, who donated his careful restoration of the instrument. Your support has made this raffle possible!

Enter to win the Memorymoog Plus here.


And on the Science of Synthesis Summer Camps:

"Our First Science of Synthesis Summer Camps!

The Bob Moog Foundation has spent the past six years educating almost 10,000 elementary school children about the science of sound through our hallmark educational project Dr. Bob's SoundSchool. This summer we expanded on that effort and by providing two weeks of summer camp to middle school students who spent every day learning about the science of synthesis at the Asheville Museum of Science's STEM Lab.

The interactive camp, taught by former Moog Music engineer August Worley, introduced the basic principles of synthesis through synthesizers, oscilloscopes, custom educational materials, and through small synthesizer components developed by littleBits.

The curriculum that we created for the camps is our first step in developing a Dr. Bob's SoundSchool program for grades 6-8. Thank you for your continued support as we grow this important educational initiative!

Hope your summer has been full of sound, exploration, and discovery, too!"

Elektron Releases 2323 - Roland X0X Based Sample Pack



"The X0X series of drum machines are all nothing short of legendary: the cream of the crop of analog drum machines, and the core of so much of the music we all love. Naturally you want to fill your Digitakt with samples of these fine machines, so we teamed up with Samples from Mars to bring you a massive collection of freshly sampled delights.
Samples from Mars used their entire collection of 909’s, 808’s, and 606’s (including a modified one) recorded in various ways (tape, MPC60, SP1200, or digitally). Combine that with multi-sampled groups with varying degrees of each sound’s parameters tweaked, and vari-speed tape-pitched hits, this is one seriously versatile Sound Pack."

Moog Mother 32 and Korg SQ1 as a Parameter Locks Machine part1


Oz The Conjuring
Published on Aug 8, 2017

"Hi folks, good to see you again.
This is a tuto about using the Korg SQ1 as a sort of parameter locks for the Moog Mother, part 1.
This is useful in this example to control the mix of the 3 vco s of the Mother while a sequence is running on the Beatstep Pro.
Maths is used as an EG for the filter.
If you're not familiar with adding vco s to the mother, check my past video about this subject.
This is a very cool and different way to use the Korg SQ1, lot of fun...and remember that in the modular world, everything is possible."

Roland Introduces New SP-404A Linear Wave Sampler


Roland SP-404A & TR-8 Performance
RolandChannel
Published on Aug 8, 2017

"Watch the powerful combination of sampling and rhythm synthesis with the Roland SP-404A and Roland AIRA TR-08 Rhythm Performer in this video.

The Roland SP-404A Linear Wave Sampler can now expand the sounds of the Roland AIRA TR-8 Rhythm Performer (with latest TR-8 update v1.5) for a combination of sample and percussive synthesis.

The SP-404A can be triggered from the TR-8 Rhythm Performer via MIDI for integrated beat and sample production. Users can incorporate samples from the SP-404A and use them in conjunction with drum patterns, and each of the TR-8’s 11 tracks can trigger a sample on the SP-404A, play a TR-8 sound, or both.

In addition, the TR-8 can be used as an audio sub-mixer and processor for the SP-404A. In this configuration, all samples played on the SP-404A can be effected using the TR-8’s Scatter feature to reverse, glitch, gate, truncate, stutter, and perform all types of rhythmic variations in perfect sync. Samples can also be controlled by the TR-8’s per-step Side Chain function for rhythmic ducking and gating effects.

To get users started with sample looping, the SP-404A comes with an SD card loaded with a library of new sounds created by Loopmasters, a leading sample developer. The samples in the library have been designed specifically to complement the TR-8, but also work well in standalone applications."


Details via Roland

"A LEGENDARY SAMPLER MEETS AN ICONIC SEQUENCER
Designed for live use, the SP-404A Linear Wave Sampler expands the sounds of the Roland AIRA TR-8 Rhythm Performer for a powerful combination of sample and percussive synthesis. The fast, hands-on approach of the acclaimed SP-series performance samplers is a perfect fit for the impressive rhythmic effects and iconic step-sequencer of the Roland AIRA TR-8.

All of the functions and features of the popular SP-404SX are contained in the SP-404A, including its distinctive 16-bit linear sampling, 29 onboard DSP effects, smooth FX switching, and 12 professional performance pads. Plus, a new library of sounds curated by sample-industry leader Loopmasters are provided via the included SD card.

Whether used standalone or controlled by the TR-8, the SP-404A makes for an intuitive and inspiring addition to the AIRA range of performance instruments for DJs, musicians, and producers.

Sample anytime, anywhere with the built-in mic and battery power
Can be triggered from the 16-step sequencer in the TR-8 Rhythm Performer (TR-8 system version 1.50 or later required)
AIRA black-and-green color scheme to match existing AIRA hardware
“Sounds by Loopmasters” SD card includes over 100 new stereo samples, effects, and one-shots
29 DSP effects, including filter, delay, unique voice effects, subsonic, looper, and more
