Analogue Solutions Generator Step Sequencer Jam HQ Audio

Published on Feb 15, 2019 rezfilter

"SPEAKERS/HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED!

Here's another live jam with the Analogue Solutions Generator Step Sequencer!

This video features the Generator (!), Nyborg(s) 12/24, Treadstone eurorack synth voice, Telemark synthesizer, and ARP kicks!

Generator is also managing clock for an Oberkorn that is triggering the kick patterns w/ cymbal.

Generator is a very compact and high quality step sequencer. It’s USP is that it is a playable sequencer. You don’t just set up a sequence and leave it looping. The UI is designed in such a way as to make it easy, fun and intuitive to alter the rhythm and to get alternative sequences playing using the real time touch pads.

Generator has plenty of scope for re-patching the signals using CV leads, or via the pre-configured switches.

Generator is super easy to hook up to your analogue synthesisers, Eurorack, and other analogue gear.

Sync to DAW is very easy and solid, using MIDI note 60. Play that note and the sequencer will step.

No menus of multi-button pressed. WYSIWYG front panel control.

Enjoy!"

Treadstone-Analogue Solutions Bass demo part 2 (no talking)

Published on Nov 23, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi friends.
I have the next part of the recesses of powerful bass from Treadstone from Analogue Solutions UK Ltd.
in this video there are two parts that really show the solid sound of this little monster. it must be remembered that Analogue Solutions has a 25-year-long tradition of synthesizing, and this compact compact housing hides a truly powerful sound.
Some fun with the resonance and the attack filter. I think that the best thing is to check what is the small box.
This is not only a small synth but also the possibility of many modulations thanks to the built-in cross connections for modular or semi-modular synth connections.
Also filter goes low this analogue SSM style 24db filter really does a great job.
LFO, Noise, Sub Osc, EG, PWM, lofi digital echo are just part of the possibilities that you can modulate by flying it in different ways.

Treadstone-Analogue Solutions Bass sound demo

Published on Nov 22, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi Folks.
I have today a small demo bass Treadstone from Analogue Solutions UK Ltd.
it's a small inconspicuous synthesizer, in fact you would put it in pockets but its sound is solid, massive and it really deserves attention for a moment.
Its advantages are the entire voice of the mono bass synth plus the built-in echo and a 16-step loop sequencer, in which the video plays from it.
and the possibility of patching it with other semi modular synth or just your modular system.
is also his spore version eurorack, because this is how you see it is a desktop type.
Coming back to the sound it's great for bass and of course lead, also long resonance sounds going into drone with modulations. Great for patching also as synth drums.
many possibilities in this video alone bass. with built-in sequencer.
In general, I am very happy with this synthesizer, it has surprised me."

"Analogue Solutions plays to win with highly-versatile next-generation Generator step sequencer

KINGSWINFORD, UK: having made musical waves with a prototype presentation at SUPERBOOTH18 in Berlin before speedily selling out of its first batch, British boutique electronic instruments innovator Analogue Solutions is proud to announce (approaching) availability of a second batch of its next-generation Generator step sequencer — a highly- versatile, multi-channel analogue appliance specifically targeted towards making it easy, fun, and intuitive to change generated rhythms and also play alternative sequences — as of September 14…

As implied by the CV & GATE SEQUENCE GENERATOR wording which is boldly blazoned across a pleasingly well-populated panel, Analogue Solutions’ next- generation Generator is no ordinary step sequencer. As a compact, slim form factor desktop design featuring three parallel-running, 16-step CV (control voltage) channels — CV CHANNEL A, CV CHANNEL B, and CV CHANNEL C — and an array of associated hands-on controls housed in a rugged steel and aluminium chassis with no plastic mouldings (making it ideally suited to withstanding the rigours of the road while being equally at home in the studio, home- based or otherwise), Generator is actually a playable step sequencer at its musical heart. How, exactly, it does that is exactly what sets it apart from the run-of- the-mill step sequencing pack.

Put it this way: with Generator it’s not simply a case of setting up a short sequence of notes to be left looping ad infinitum, as is still the case with some step sequencers out there — though there is still something to be said for those mesmerising musical compositions conjured up by the repetitive note patterns pioneered and popularised by the likes of Germany’s homegrown Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream during their Seventies heyday and appropriated in many musical styles since; instead, its user interface is deftly designed to make it easy, fun, and intuitive to change generated rhythms and also play alternative sequences.

Firstly, four dedicated knobs offering patent-pending IReTiGaC (Intuitive Real Time Gate Control) can change the rhythm of the beats for the pattern playing by setting which of the 16 steps of the sequence will produce gates; slowly rotating each knob adds more beats in specific positions, thereby increasing the intensity of the rhythm. A pair of associated GATE pattern outputs are available alongside a FLIPPED GATE ‘copy’ — positive voltage with an inverted ‘state’ (so the output does the opposite of the main GATE outputs) — for flexibility when connecting to suitably-equipped analogue synthesisers, Eurorack modular system setups, or other analogue equipment. These output the rhythm set using those IReTiGaC knobs, and using both together with two different synths creates considerable interplay between them.

The wonderful world of the VOLTAGE GENERATOR is where Generator really steps up to the plate to offer some serious alternative action, though. This is a special kind of transposer/CV generator with six ‘slots’ — each activated using its own triangular-shaped gold-plated pressure plate. The corresponding knob above each plate is used to set the control voltage output of the VOLTAGE GENERATOR within an approximate range of 0-5V. Those voltage outputs can be sent straight to and mixed with CV CHANNEL A, CV CHANNEL B, and CV CHANNEL C’s respective CV A, CV B, and CV C outputs sockets, with an associated SHIFT switch’s settings determining what goes where: setting said switch into its ‘up’ position results in the VOLTAGE GENERATOR being mixed with A, B, C (CV CHANNEL A, CV CHANNEL B, and CV CHANNEL C); ‘centre’ is off, and ‘down’ results in the VOLTAGE GENERATOR only being mixed with C (CV CHANNEL C). The VOLTAGE GENERATOR’s control voltage is also always available on its own CV output, allowing users to patch it back somewhere else — even externally (to a suitable synth or modular setup).

So what, exactly, can be done with this visionary VOLTAGE GENERATOR? For starters, it can conceivably be used as a standalone six ‘note’ interval CV keyboard to directly play an external CV-equipped synthesiser, such as Analogue Solutions’ own Treadstone (taking the same smart, small, and affordable desktop design-driven analogue attributes of its similarly superior-sounding synthBlocks signal-processing siblings and applying them to a true analogue mono synth that packs a lot of patchable punch into a perfectly-matched, portable package). Patching possibilities abound as the VOLTAGE GENERATOR pressure plates are routed to its own outputs: the CV socket outputs control voltage, so pressing plates harder results in a higher voltage that can, for instance, be used to creatively control clock tempo, intensity, fill, or transpose via their respective INT CLOCK TEMPO, INTENSITY, FILL, and TRANSPOSE sockets. (The INTENSITY input uses a CV of approximately 0-5V to alter the intensity of the rhythm with more beats being added to the rhythm as the voltage increases; the FILL input is similar to INTENSITY, but only affects the last four steps to alter the pattern of notes in the last four beats of the sequencer.) The GATE socket outputs a gate that can be used to clock the sequencer, RESET or START it, for example. Additionally, another output voltage from the VOLTAGE GENERATOR can also be patched to alter internal clock speed or transpose. That said, there are also QUANTISED VG output sockets outputting the same signal which will quantise the VOLTAGE GENERATOR voltage to the nearest semitone (when using 1V/oct synths).

Thereafter, thanks to those three parallel channels of 16 steps, Generator steps back into more familiar step sequencing territory — albeit with dedicated start and end LOOP point controls for initiating interesting patterns — that plays well with any analogue gear that has CV and Gate inputs, including vintage or more modern analogue synths and Eurorack modular system setups. Since it does not feature a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) output, it is clearly not a MIDI sequencer — nor a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) control surface. Saying that, it is equipped with a MIDI IN socket, so allows sync, start, stop, and resend control signals to be sent from a DAW or MIDI sequencer. Speaking of which, using MIDI Note information, users can program their own ‘clock pattern’ that can run to clock Generator at the same tempo, half the number of notes to run Generator at half tempo, double the number of notes to run it at double tempo, or even mute the clock note pattern to silence Generator at a particular point before unmuting to get it running again, all the while creating rhythmic patterns to make Generator syncopate with DAW patterns — much more creative and gratifying than simply using MIDI sync alone.

Analogue Solutions is clearly playing to win with its next-generation Generator step sequencer — so much so that the likes of (the still-active) Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream should seriously consider playing with one (or more) onstage or in the studio. Speaking of which, English electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers already have access to two! That said, chances are musician, composer, arranger, record producer, and music programmer par excellence Martyn Ware would also approve... after all, he co-composed Sheffield synth-pop funksters Heaven 17’s influential single ‘Play To Win’ way back in 1981, at a time when synthesisers started to make a serious dent in the charts, exciting the ears of one teenage Tom Carpenter — Analogue Solutions’ future founder — in the process.

Priced at £629.00 GBP (inc. VAT)/$749.00 USD/€679.00 EUR (inc. VAT), Generator is available to purchase through Analogue Solutions’ growing global network of authorised dealers — including Analogue Solutions itself — listed here: http://www.analoguesolutions.com/dealers/"

Treadstone-Analogue Solutions & Arturia-Drumbrute Impact simple Jam

Published on Sep 2, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
I have a brand new movie with the Treadstone from Analogue Solutions and Drum synthesizer-DrumBrute Impact from Arturia.
Treadstone is a full analog voice monophonic synthesizer-you know.
it's small, but it's really a hard thing with the possibility of patching into a modular system, it also has a built-in echo and a 16-step loop sequencer.
here I also added his echo which causes a small delay of sound.
DrumBrute Impact is the newest Arturia baby and I used it because it suits my electro modes very much.
It is compact, smaller than the first Drumbrute, it seems but it is great. It has 4 individual out, 10 eleastic sounds including one FM Drum sound. of course, great in live, the whole sequencer from drumbrute taken and additionally on the Distortion total.
Check the small demo as it came when both devices are playing."

Treadstone -Analogue Solutions & Nosie VCA-CG-Products module

Published on Jul 26, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys !!!
I have my first experiments with Noise VCA from Cg-Products and Treadstone.
I used Treadstone from Analogue Solutions here, the sequence comes from its built-in sequencer and of course the amazing Analogue Solutions. Treadstone is already available in the eurorack version, but I used the box because I have an early version in the box.
I know in the eurorack version just filled this little empty hole!
I also used the delay effect of Erica Synths Pico DSP and, of course, ''Nosie VCA''.
I open my mind to new experimental things like those from Cg-Products where there is variable VCF and VCA ."

"Here is a musical example of the sound of the Analogue Solutions Treadstone. All of the synth sounds were created with the Treadstone, and are presented without effect or equalization. The drums and percussion sounds were created and sequenced on a Korg Triton LE.

The Treadstone is a shockingly powerful synthesizer for its size, and is also the smallest modern synthesizer with its level of vintage analog tone."
