The Monthly Acid Pattern - September

The Monthly Acid Pattern
via Dylan Davis on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
"From Null Object (http://soundcloud.com/null-object)
Something different this month - a 10 step pattern.
I have cleverly disguised this pattern in this mumble jumble of hectic rhetoric.
This track was entirely sequenced by my Midified TB303, it is triggering all the drum samples, two mp3's sliced into midi tracks ("Madness - Baggy Trousers" & "Hume - The Spirit of Gambo The Lord Dewys of Favoret"), A Roland System 104 Step sequencer and the 303 the the step sequencer control parts of a Roland System 102 synth.
The 102 synth also feeds back into the modified 303 hence the LFO sound at times.
The whole track is then haphazardly transposed all over the place, triggering different samples.
The 303 has a bunch of circuit bends which further affect the sound.
This way of working is quite different to the typical XOX box acid setup but this pattern can sound good with a 6,8,10,12 or 16 step backbone. The track will loop around and sound "right" after two 16 step bars" Work it to make something for you. I am interested to hear what you do."
make some acid with this and post it to the group
all submission will be compiled at end of month into an EP released via bandcamp - http://acidpattern.bandcamp.com/"
Yamaha SK20 vintage analog organ synthesizer
Roland RS-202 string machine synthesizer
via this auction
"Here's a pretty well kept specimen of the amazingly smooth Roland RS-202 string machine. This one carries more important features than their first machine of course; primarily the chorus/ensemble. This is the first unit to use that famous Roland effect I guess and it found it's niche in the disco era or..visa versa..."
Yamaha CS20M SN 1155 with Original Box
Anyone know how this works?: "There are two knob colors. One correlates to the parameters which may be saved. But the tunings for instance are not saved so that there is absolutely nothing digital in their control. So you get perfect smooth pitch control unlike so many of the synths with storage from the era. . It's snapshot memory. ie. you can't edit once you save so you have to take a photo or something to remember your patch settings if you want recreate them easily. But I just find it very useful to be able to save and store on disk patch settings at least. But you can go knob crazy with this one and it's just LUSH!"

via this auction
"This is an Oberheim OB-SX analog synthesizer with 6 voices."
Preset version of the OB-X/OB-Xa. Notice this one is grey. Later versions had the blue pinstripe. I always wondered if they were the same or if the grey was based on the OB-X and the blue on the OB-Xa. If anyone knows, feel free to comment.

SunVox Tutorial 14 - Sampler Retriggering / Scaling
YouTube Published on Sep 1, 2012 by SolarLuneTube
"This SunVox tutorial talks about retriggering samples to scale them to a song. When you scale samples to a song, you can do a lot, chaning their pitch, or even directly controlling how the samples play. It's pretty fun to do.
Thanks for watching my tutorials and subscribing, by the way. Your comments are appreciated as well.

C-C-Combine - Play anything with anything
C-C-Combine - Play anything with anything from Rodrigo Constanzo on Vimeo.
C-C-Combine is a corpus-based audio mosiacing application, built in Max/MSP, based on concatenative synthesis. Concatenative synthesis is a technique for synthesizing sounds by concatenating short samples of recorded sound. It is essentially a type of granular synthesis that, instead of playing back grains based on position/windows, plays back grains based on analysis of incoming audio. In order to do this you must have a corpus (the pre-analyzed body of sounds) and an input sound source (either incoming audio or file playback).

CESYG SuMIX

via the CESYG blog:
"As hinted at earlier, the next module I'm working on is an output summing mixer for the Eurorack format. And here is the first view of the front panel. Ignore the blobs on the corners, those are just for aligning the artwork with the panel mechanics. Also this shows representations of the panel furniture (knobs, leds, jacks, switches) to give a better impression of how it might look. And thanks to Cody for his useful input :)"
Introducing the CESYG DuaLFO

"The DuaLFO is a dual voltage-controlled Low-Frequency Oscillator:
The main LFO provides three sine waves 120 degrees apart (0, 120, 240 degrees). Frequency range is 45Hz down to around 90 minutes per cycle. CV control is normalised to the auxiliary LFO sine or the CV bus (link-selectable).
The auxiliary LFO is a triangle-core oscillator with a similar frequency range as the main LFO, and includes a diode sine shaper. In addition to CV control, its shape is fully adjustable from saw to ramp, and is also CV controlled. Finally, the auxiliary LFO is syncable, with push button selection of rising or falling edge sensitivity.
Both LFOs have bipolar LED indicators, especially useful at slower speeds. Knobs are high-quality spun-aluminium with knurled sides for comfortable but positive grip. All jacks are the same high-quality Cliff ones we sell. Finally, the 18HP-wide 2mm aluminium front panel is produced in MetalPhoto giving crisp graphics and a hardwearing finish.
Power consumption is typically 40mA per rail, and can run on both 12V and 15V systems. Reverse-voltage and missing-rail protection is included as standard."

Main feat:
-16CV OUT (8 * 5V, also V/Hz, and 8* -10 to +10V)
-8 GATES OUT
-Bluetooth 2.0 interface (Android, Windows, Linux, wtf...)
-Bluetooth 4.0 interface (iOS)
-Direct interface between your device and your modular. No PC's.
-LIVE MODE and SEQ MODE distributed among the various outputs. (SEQ mode is synchable to other modular equipment for tight timing).
Some of the updates are:
-It will support OSC over BT (either SPP and Low Energy application profile, to have on board either Android (or WIN, or what else...) and iOS).
(we will keep also another 'lighter' protocol, just to save bytes..)
-It will have the choice (hardware) to choose between 5V and hotter 12V gates output
-It will have an expansion connector, to connect other 'medium' in the future.
And finally, this is the initial UI design of the app (for now we are testing it on a NEXUS phone, but it will support ANY Android 4.0 tablet or handset.
iOS app is also under construction."

-The actual screenshot is the most simple, 8 gates button (momentary) on the bottom of the screen, to trigger everything you want (from envelopes, to drums, to loopers...), and 8 CV sliders EACH one of which has it's own record/play buttons...
YES, press the R button and the movements will be recorded until you press the P button, when the RC1 starts looping the CV until you stop it.
-Have a look at the tabs on the top of the screen. We have (among many others) the possibility to pop up a chromatic keyboard with pitchbend and mod wheels (a fuc*ing tiny cv keyboard, maybe also polyophonic, that is ) OR an X-Y pad with GATE signal related to z-axis accelerometer 'bumps'.
-The app will comprise lot of things but NOT everything. We will disclose the protocol and the OSC address space to have others write apps and augment the object that could relate to your modular."

Mystery Moog Polymoog Keyboard with Buttons
via Christopher Winkels on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
"A friend who knows I'm into synths sent me this from a garage sale. Any idea what model it is? I'm thinking they Polymoog keyboard, but I could be wrong. And the pedals look like a Taurus II."
Update via David: "Hard to see with the tiny pictures. Wild guess (especially with the pedals) that it a version of the Moog Apollo from the Constellation as it turned into the Polymoog?
http://www.brain-salad-surgery.de/moog_constellation.html" There is some discussion on the Facebook thread above as well.
Little Drone & Monotribe
Little Drone from Quijote Cinemusica on Vimeo.
"After building my first few electronics projects, I've decided to combine a few of them in one gadget. It's two oscilators (Atari Punk Console and Little Bass) a White Noise generator and an external input, mixed into a resonant low pass filter designed by Ray Wilson of MFOS. Took a lot of trial and error and expert advice to build but here it is. This is the maiden voyage, but I think I'll make some nice automatic mantras with this thing."

Mutronics Mutator Filter with MIDI SN 685

"Often regarded as the best analogue rack filter ever made. Quite a legendary machine, used by everyone from Daft Punk to Radiohead. Very powerful filter with good modulation capabilities and envelope follower.
This is the MIDI model. Fully checked and working well, sounds wicked. Great condition too.
This is serial number #685, which gives some idea how rare these are."

"This one is in beautiful cosmetic condition and working 100%. It has just come back from being serviced and with some restoration. As you may know, these are rare and do not appear that often. This one is ready to be played and needs nothing. It will come with a custom road case. This case is big and weighs much more than the synth itself so keep this in mind when it comes to shipping..."
