Vermona Mono Lancet Audio Demonstration (HD) by INHALT

This was a set of recordings done entirely on the Vermona Mono Lancet analog mono synthesizer. All the sounds you hear were generated on the Mono Lancet save for the 707 kick and snare on the very first clip. This was recorded as part of a review for DV 24/7 Magazine in London, England in 2011. I used a Fireface 400 firewire interface and Logic Audio for this recording.

The reasoning for using multitracking and effects processing was to show real-world applications of an analog monophonic synthesizer. The Vermona Mono Lancet, due to its discrete design, provided a rich sound palette that could easily be tamed with minor compression and equalization."

New Intellijel Designs Dubmix Eurorack Module


via Intellijel Designs on Facebook

"Introducing the Intellijel DUBMIX vc mixer suite.

Introducing the DUBMIX , DUBMIX AUX expander, and DUBMIX MINI expander. This has been a long project and it is finally in production and should ship in a few weeks. We thought a lot about how a VC Mixer would work in a modular synth context and Haven really championed the idea of focusing on VC Aux sends since this would allow for really complex and interesting automated mixing of FX and dub style sound manipulation.
We have tried to conserve size while not sacrificing the space needed for proper playability. This mixer is low noise, low bleed with clickless muting and fast clean VCAs. All the inputs and summing busses have soft clipping to help get warm sounds if you really push the mixes. It has been amazing to hook tup fx to this, automate the panning and get totally dubbed out sounds!

DUBMIX:
28HP
4 inputs, each with 6dB gain and soft clipping
VC Pan for each input channel
VC Aux send for each input channel (with pre and post switch)
Illuminated CLICKLESS mute buttons for each channel (special circuit design by David Dixon)
VC Master level
VC Master AUX A send
Stereo AUX returns
Dedicated output for sum of muted channels
Stereo Master Output
4 stage VU meter with switches to select monitoring of Aux A bus or Mute Bus.
Soft clipping on all summed input and output busses.
Header to connect master output via cable to uJack"

Mutable Instruments Ambika (or Roland Juno 60/106)

Published on Jun 28, 2013 piamuk·38 videos

"Ok, now, listen to the video but don't watch. Then, go and listen to a video with a Juno 106. Bet you'll find they sound almost identical. Granted there are differences, but for the most part, it sounds a lot like a Juno (acutally, somewhere between a 60 & a 106. It's not as silky smooth as a 60, but, to me, it sounds slightly better than a106). I'm only making the comparison because there are people that still want the Shruthi-1 IR3109 (Roland Filter Chip) Filter Board. This is proof, that the SMR-4 IS an IR3109!

The Ambika is set with Osc 1 to Saw & Osc 2 off. Osc 1 is slightly modulated by a slow triangle LFO. Added some chorus for the "juno" vibe. Topped it off with a dash of reverb."

July 6: Fair day + Richard Devine, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Antenes at the Seaport
July 3 and 7: Workshops at Silent Barn
July 8: Gavin Russom at Le Baron

"Control Voltage Fair is New York City’s annual fair dedicated to celebrating the modular synthesizer. Spanning multiple days, we invite synth makers and distributors to share their creations, inviting audiences to see, hear, touch, and talk about the modular synth. This fair is complemented by concerts and three synth-making workshops.

Introduced in the 1960s, the modular synth has recently experienced a rebirth due to its affordability and sonic flexibility, which makes it a revolutionary tool for creativity. Control Voltage is an open forum inviting person-to-person interaction between maker, musician, and attendee – novices and enthusiasts. Interact with artists and tinkerers, share ideas, and explore the ins and outs of this limitless instrument!

The fair will take place on July 6th, 2013 at South Street Seaport, and will feature the interactive fair followed by a concert with Richard Devine, Keith Fullerton Whitman, and Antenes. Workshops involving building voltage-controlled instruments will take place throughout the month at Silent Barn. We're wrapping up the series with a party at Le Baron Chinatown with Gavin Russom.

Saturday's participating exhibitors include (tbc): 4ms, Casper Electronics, Control, Knas, Main Drag, Make Noise, Malekko, Meme Antenna, Pittsburgh Modular, ProModular, Skychord, Snazzy FX, Steady State Fate, Tip Top Audio

Ed Bear, Pete Edwards, Daniel Fishkin, and G. Lucas Crane will conduct the workshops at Silent Barn on July 3 and 7. Full Descriptions can be found at http://controlvoltagefair.com/sunday/.

Control Voltage Fair is presented by Abby Echiverri, with special thanks to Control and Danny Taylor.

Keytek CTS-2000 Cross Wave examples

Published on Apr 29, 2013

"Here are several examples of single oscillator waveform crossfades. The Keytek CTS-2000 can crossfade between 3 waveforms per oscillator, with a 2 stage envelope (two times and an intermediate breakpoint) for each crossfade. The IC responsible for this is the SGS M114S, which was also used in the Cheetah MS800, Amstrad CKX100 and Solton K160, as well as the other Keytek models (CTS-1000G, CTS-400, CTS-5000) and some obscure pinball machines.

Keytek CTS-2000 (Inoyama Land - Shuffer)

Uploaded on Nov 5, 2011

"Arrangement of Shuffer by Inoyama Land, using multitracked Keytek CTS-2000 (rare wavetable synth, now sold). I had modified it some to make the sound brighter. Reverb added in Pure Data (my own algorithm). I just played along to the original rather than use a click track or sequencer. It came out a little messy, but I think it suits the composition. Recorded 2011.

I don't know what's wrong with the likes/dislikes on this video. Analytics shows 24 likes and 0 dislikes, while the video currently shows 3 likes and 29 dislikes. There seems to have been a glitch at some point.

Multitracked Wersi EX20 with Ibanez SDR-1000 reverb. This synth is capable of some highly unusual sounds when (in)correctly programmed, so I thought I'd showcase that side of it. It's sort of a half tribute and half parody of 70s computer music (i.e. Jean-Claude Risset, John Chowning, etc.). I find that sort of music tends to be sometimes brilliant and sometimes ponderously arbitrary (at least from the listener's perspective), so I tried to get a little of each in there.

Due to the bizarre user interface and poor/unavailable documentation, I think very few people have programmed these synths to this extent. At the time I think I only had the German user manual. I have the English manual now, but it omits much of the sound programming stuff.

Most of the interesting territory comes from doing strange things with the pitch and amplitude envelopes. Each stage of the envelope can be assigned a "module" that takes two parameters and does some function like noise modulation, increment, delay, linear or exponential rise or fall, loop, etc. It's even possible to make nested loops. These things don't necessarily behave the way you'd expect (are these undocumented features or bugs?), so it's basically a trial and error process, but the results can be very surprising. Recorded 2010?

Check the (NiCd) memory backup battery if you own one of these. They can leak and cause damage."

"The Wersi is a very deep synth, even today, has an analog filter and uses beautiful additive synthesis, with lots of envelope modulations possible..."

Curious how deep these are. Wersi's are known for more preset auto-accompaniment type machines.  You can find some details in this previous post.

"Battery powered modular synthesizer that uses banana jack patch cords. Has a 1/4 input for Guitar, Bass, Microphone or other instruments. Infinitely deep as you create your own sounds by connecting patch cables, this synthesizer uses banana jacks which easily allow the signal to be "multed" e.g. you can send one jack to multiple different jacks by stacking the jacks upon one another. This particular LBB has been modified with a banana jack ground plug on the side, allowing for the ability to interfacing with other banana jack modular synthesizers. It also comes with a some banana jack cables to get you started. Best of all it's battery powered which allows you to take it anywhere, you can use it as a sound generator or use it like a guitar pedal, you can also play it by singing through it using a microphone and routing your voice to the envelope follower.

Features:
2 voltage controlled ramp (sawtooth) oscillators
1/4" input with variable gain
envelope follower with optional inverter
2 channel mixer
intermodulating output stage
powder-coated aluminum case
runs on single 9V battery [NOT INCLUDED]
power automatically disconnected when output cable is unplugged"

Lunetta Guitar Boolean Acousti-Logic

Published on Jun 27, 2013 NakagawaGakki·46 videos

"Modular Synth driven Semi-Acoustic stringed instrument. The Lunetta Guitar uses no computers nor microcontrollers, all circuitry is CMOS discrete analog designed freeform, space wiring style... no toxic circuitboards. Physically patchable with cables, no coding.

This self generating patch is acoustically recorded with Binaural microphones to pickup the spacio-harmonic sounds that swirl around this instrument. If you wear headphones it gives you the impression your head is inside the Guitar.

The synth-guitar just continues to spit out quite complex, evolving (algo)rhythms like this all day long, all by itself!"

via Nathan Thompson on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge: "An Analog Modular Synth Guitar.
Self generating patch acoustically recorded with Binaural microphones. Connected to a PA, VCOs/VCFs and such is mixed with the strings. Strings only in this vid."

Looking forward to hearing it with the VCOs/VCFs.

[Music] Zoobreak (PixiTracker)

Published on Jun 28, 2013 Brian Muramatsu·26 videos

"I decided to take a momentary break from Sunvox and started dabbling with PixiTracker. I discovered that the interface is well-suited for tablets, since you just tap once to pick one of the 16 sounds and tap again in a grid to position it. So I found myself composing nightly on a tablet. Nevertheless, the restrictions of just the 16 sounds became a tough but worthy challenge. I stuck to the default sound pack, but I ratcheted the BPM up to 160! I wanted to create a fast head-banging track. :-)

Once I was done on the tablet, I transferred the file to my PC. I used ffmpeg to capture the pattern grid and then once more for the included visualization. Finally, I used OpenShot to combine the two together, tossed in some saturation effects, and added a title!
