Prophet '08 Sawtooth Solo Patch


Published on Aug 28, 2017 Sacred Synthesis

"This improvisation is primarily for comparison purposes. I wanted the put an example of the Prophet '08's sawtooth solo right next to the recordings of the same patch from the Prophet 12. The comparison isn't quite fair, in that the P12 has four oscillators, whereas the P'08 has only two. Regardless, here they are side-by-side for the discriminating musical ear to judge. As usual, the patch uses the two pair of output jacks, and each layer is panned at the mixer for stereo depth.

The Poly Evolver Keyboard provides the string accompaniment throughout the piece.

Instrumentation:
DSI Prophet '08 Keyboard
DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard
DSI Poly Evolver Rack

Bass:
DSI Evolver Desktop
Hammond XPK 200L Pedalboard

External Effects:
Lexicon MX300 for reverb
Alesis Nanoverb 2 for delay

Performed and mixed live and recorded directly to a Tascam CD-RW900 Mk II.

New Sismo ARO

"This is the first piece of our new collection of Sismo synthesizers. Inspired by geometric in arquitecture, gather maths circumferences and sound effects.

ARO brings a 8 step sequencer split to 2 sound generator (sawtooth squarewave), envelope, lfo and echo."


A few pics via Sismo.

Check out those side panels!  Likely helps protect the knobs as well as provide an aesthetic element.  Curious if they are meant to be picked up by them as well.

Roland TB-303 Devilfish Modded With Walrus Arp-87 Delay Pedal


Published on Aug 28, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"This video shows all four modes of the Walrus Arp-87 delay pedal with a Roland TB-303 as the input. The 303 is Devilfish modded for a few extra options.

The ARP-87 is a powerful multi-function delay pedal that creates lush echoes and adds in-depth dimension to all sounds. It sports four algorithms consisting of digital, analog, lo-fi and slapback - all of which offers a virtually endless range for sonic experimentation. The ARP-87 has 6 knobs built in and a bypass and tap switch to manage and keep all delays under control. With the ability to produce anything from light delay runoffs to intense echoes, the ARP-87 Multi-Function Delay is a great addition to any studio.

Elektron Analog Heat demonstration using drums and synth


Published on Aug 28, 2017 soundseasy

Starts with the Roland TR-09. The new Roland SH-01A comes in at 1:44.

"We thought it would be fun to take the Elektron Analog Heat for a spin using the Roland TR-09 and and SH-01a as our sound sources.

I'll be honest with you and say that the Analog Heat had escaped my attention, I mean you work in an environment surrounded by flashy bits of kit and bells and whistles, and an unassuming black box tends to fade into the background.

Well not any more!

This unassuming black box is a well camouflaged beast!

Not only does it have stunning distortions but also one of the sweetest sounding filter sections I've ever heard. Couple that with a comprehensive LFO and you have yourself a totally unique sonic tool box that will keep you twiddling for hours! (As we did)

We don't cover it in this demo, but the Analog Heat can also operate as a VST/AU through "Overbridge" (We shall do a demo of this soon).

AND I bet most of you (including myself) didn't know that the Analog Heat is a 2 in 2 out soundcard also, pretty nifty stuff!

My first thought about who would get the most from this unit would be the Techno heads. This unit would add so much depth and character to any hard hitting Techno track. The more I used it though, I starting hearing how it could be used on just about on anything.

Guitars (obviously), but things like adding dirt to hi hats, rich thickness to vocals, and a whole plethora of sounds that you might feel need more harmonic content.

This is far more than a distortion unit, and I think for the people who take the plunge and get one, they will definitely have a secret weapon that will have their peers asking 'How did you get that sound?'

Not cheap, but worth every penny and more!"

Analogue Systems RS 200 Sequential Controller / 24 Step for Modular Synthesizers SN 3979

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

via this auction

"The rs200 Sequencer System contains the rs200 Sequencer, rs150 4-channel sequencer switch and rs280 audio / trigger clock divider. The rs200 System has three channels, A, B and C, with individual controls for each of the eight steps and a stepped range knob for adjusting the overall output voltage of each channel (0V to +10V). Channel C also has a Slew control for smoothing the output voltage, or introducing a portamento effect if used with a VCO. In addition to a step indicator LED, each channel also has two toggle switches. One is a three-way Skip/Off/Reset switch which respectively skips selected events, does nothing, and resets the pattern back to the beginning at a specified step.
The rs150 Sequential Switch allows you to select between multiple inputs and direct the chosen signal to the input of the next module in the patch. Selection may be manual or may be triggered by the application of a suitable clock or trigger pulse.

The rs280 audio and trigger clock divider is a frequency detector and divider that produces a number of squarewave signals derived from the frequency of any cyclic signal presented to its input. It has a single input, five outputs, and five LEDs that give a visual indication of the frequencies of the outputs.
Three rows of 8-step CV generators with individual CV ranges and CV outputs for each row
Independent trigger outputs for each of rows 1, 2 and 3
Internal clock with external CV input and clock output
External clock input and manual step function
Slew generator for portamento and other effects
Skip, Reset, and Stop/Start functions with independent CV inputs
End of sequence pulse output"

Analogue Systems French Connection Ondes Martenot Style Modular Synthesizer Controller

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

SN 010 via this auction

"The French Connection is on of the greatest Controllers ever built... A truly elegant and beautifully built controller. This one is early serial number 10... In super excellent condone with very minor wear and tear from use inside a climate controlled professional studio..."

"Based upon the legendary Ondes Martenot, the French Connection is a unique controller for virtuoso performance. By placing a finger through the ring suspended below the physical keyboard, the player can glide smoothly between notes by moving the playing hand from left to right, creating a very natural vibrato in the process. Theremin effects are easily obtained by connecting one of the CV outputs to an external VCO with sine wave output.

The French Connection is a 49-note CV/Gate keyboard controller supplying (3) CV outputs, (1) Gate output, and (1) Trigger output. In addition, there is an XY Joystick Controller, selector switches for normal keyboard duties, and the Ondes Martenot Controller via a Wire Traveller and pressure resistant wooden button. The French Connection controller does not have MIDI and does not emit any sound, but by connecting it to a minimum of (1) VCO with sine or saw waveform, plus a VCA, the Martenot effect is easily obtained.

The user can line up the Wire Traveller with a raised and indented reference grid below the Traveller (a wire under tension with a ring that the user puts his finger through) to land accurately on the desired notes, or can use the keyboard as a visual aid.

The user can select between Traveller and Keyboard modes with the 2 selector switches for Button and Conventional Keyboard playing. For example, if the expression is routed from the button to a VCA with LFO routed thru it (for vibrato), the player can achieve effects much like the Arp PPC controller on an Odyssey III / Axxe II.

The French Connection is housed in a gorgeous American Walnut cabinet and each one is hand built. This instrument has received worldwide attention since Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead started using his in their studio sessions and on their live tours."
