dual 8 bit wavetable oscillator, each with separate subbass
- hard sync
- 16 x 16 x 4 Waveforms - different for each OSC
- Each module has a base (16 x 6) set and the rest is an uUNIQUE set of waveforms
- Single outputs for each OSC / SUBOSC and mix output (w/o SUBOSC)
- Analog VCA for each oscillator
- Analog overdrive controllable via VCA
- Audio / LFO Mode for each OSC
- Waveform shuffle
- REAL 8 BIT Sound
- Detuning Function
- 8 Oktaven
- incl. Quantizer (Chromatic)
- complex Waveform-LFO

V4CO is a bad ass unique 8bit wavetable oscillator plus subbass plus overdrive plus vca
The Glitch expander, or Glithc Expender eneables:
MIDI implementation:
Switching the waves/banks
Switching the modes for LFO, TRP and V/OKT
MIDI notes, pitch bend and vibrato on CC1
Random selection of two wavetables from the active bank.
The MIDI interface is placed on GLITHc and works exclusively with
the V4CO"

Noisebug Now Accepting Crypto for Payment

via @Noisebug

"Noisebug is proud to be accepting BitPay and Affirm Financing at checkout!"

This had me wondering, is Noisebug the first shop to accept crypto?

I asked them how it works and they came back with the following:

“You can now buy synths and modules At Noisebug directly with Bitcoin without first transferring to your local currency. It is handled conveniently in the shopping cart checkout section of our website. You can easily peel of some of your crypto earnings and profits without having to transfer multiple times to multiple addresses or time each transfer perfectly. We are working to accept more coins in the near future.”

MOON MODULAR | System-X Modular Synth Demo | Interview w/ Gert Jalass

Published on Apr 20, 2019 synth4ever

"Demo of the Moon Modular System-X, a unique 5U analog modular synth + interview with Gert Jalass, Moon Modular's Head of Commercial Operations.

On a trip to Los Angeles I stopped by the Noisebug synth store in Pomona, CA for a tour. During my visit, Gert Jalass from Moon Modular (www.moonmodular.com) happened to drop by the shop. Moon Modular is a boutique analog modular synth company started by the (late) Udo Hanten, Albin Meskes and Gert Jalass.

Gert was kind enough to do a brief interview and demo of the System-X analog modular synthesizer. The System-X is a one-of-a kind, all-in-one 5U modular analog synth created to commemorate Moon Modular's 10th anniversary.

This brief interview with Gert covers a bit about Moon Modular, some of their 5U modular synth modules, and features a deep-dive synth demo of the System-X and its sounds using oscillators, filters, sequencer, quantizer, noise, LFOs and more.

Bryce still has his jacket! Along with familiar faces in the maker/synth world, you'll spot Depeche Mode's Martin Gore and his wife Kerrilee, Junkie XL, BT, Brian Kehew of the Moog Cookboog, & Mitchel Sigman of Berlin & more.
Update: JJ Abrams is in there as well. I thought I recognized him. Yes, he's into synths. Check out his custom Synthwood Pro-One. He's been mentioned on the site a few other times as well.
Update2: a few more you might recognize, aside from the makers of course: Michael Boddicker, Ellison Wolf of Waveform, Bill Brown, Drew Neumann, and Ed Buller – of Node etc.

If I missed anyone let me know!

A Visit to Noisebug - Synth Store | Interview

Published on Jan 4, 2019 Under the Big Tree

"I had a day left for my Christmas vacation before having to go back to work, and decided to spend it visiting a store that I had wanted to see for a long time: Noisebug in Pomona, California. Blake, the general manager and I chatted for a long time about all manner of esoteric synths and recording equipment, and then he was kind enough to give us a tour of the space. The results are a deep dive into a retail store that specializes in the finest quality synthesizers, whether Eurorack, 5U, Buchla, desktop, or keyboard. This is a must-see interview for the devotees of truly esoteric electronic music devices.

www.noisebug.net

Under the Big Tree is Nick Peck's YouTube channel, focused on music and sound design equipment and techniques, composition, production and performance of music, modular synthesizers and electronic music in general, and tabletop board games.

Some notes from watching the video: Elby Designs Pixie (EDP WASP synth - note Tinkerbell in place of a wasp) on the obscure front. BTW, Serge paperface refers to the original Serge panels from the 70s that had printed paper on the front panels. Radiohead used Analogue Systems. The power buss differs from Doepfer based eurorack. Ran out of label space with Moon Modular! 10 Year anniversary system featured. The Kilpatrick Audio K4815 Pattern Generator in Buchla format exclusive to Noisebug is featured.

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!"
