Propagate PTG Pluck

Published on Aug 7, 2013 SteadyStateFate·17 videos

"Demonstration of the Universal "Pluck" patch from the Official SSG PTG Patch Book on page 9. Free to view and download at www.steadystatefate.com

In this version of the patch we are using the SSF Propagate as the fast trigger source applied to DAMP Control CV. Propagate is perfect for this application as it provides a very strong and fast trigger.
This patch also features the tasty Toppobrillo Multifilter as the VCA-less Lowpass Gate.
The DinSync.info OSC303 square output is our VCO of choice and the MODSEQ is used to CV the VCO pitch. The ProModular CLOQ drives the MODSEQ and Propagate.
Enjoy!"

"Why I would ever try to play keys on a Herbie Hancock tune is unknown stupidity, but I love Herbie and it was fun to program this song. Super fun live jam of Herbie Hancocks tune "Gentle Thoughts". MD is controlling the xoxbox. Using song mode on the machinedrum. Looping is all done with the Boss RC-50 which is under the Wurlitzer. Only the Wurly and the OP-1 are being sent to the looper.

"The MW-01 Wasp Filter is a distortion filter device. It uses the same VCF model as from the EDP Wasp Synth, but ads tweaks and modifications to really bring out the noise! Built into a robust folded aluminum case with a chunky layout, an intuitive design, and an LED rate indicator, it is an excellent choice for live performance as well as experimentation in the studio. The MW-01 Wasp Filter is a diverse filter capable of adding grit and punch to drums, ambient sweeps, filter wobble, and plain crazy noise.

Original post:

via EquinoxOZ: "~~ Attention to all customers and family members of EquinoxOz ~~
As web administrator for the web site I'd like to explain the extremely infuriating and disappointing situation our current hosting company has put us in.

On the 5/8/13 with out warning our site hosting and all data was pulled from our account, in what they are now admitting was in error on their part.

It has taken numerous phone calls, emails and voice messages to get them to acknowledge a problem, this morning they told us everything would be back in "24 hours". This has not yet happened. We have been advised it will be a further wait.

As aside note we were in the processes of transferring our domain registration to our new hosting partners, when this happened.

EqunoxOz is currently receiving legal advice regarding this.

we currently have some amazing plans for the site and I cant wait to share them with the modular community, who this is all for in the first place!

For now email communications through the Equinoxoz site should be directed to:

RUCCI Handmade Ring Modulator

Published on Aug 7, 2013 Michael Rucci·71 videos

http://www.handmadeelectronicinstrume...

"This is a passive ring modulator that blends two signals by multiplying the frequencies. The controls are simple and let you switch between the modulated signal or either of the two input signals.

It is built into a tough aluminum die cast enclosure painted matte green. With two 1/4" inputs and a 1/4" output. The circuit is completely passive so it does not require power.

Please note although the outcome can be quite satisfying it can also be a bit unexpected. For tamer results use a more simple waveform for one of the inputs. Also be aware the modulated output will often have less volume than the input signal."

Misa Kitara Digital Guitar Midi Controller Virtual Synthesizer

via this auction

"Misa Digital Kitara Digital Guitar Details

A very unique and powerful tool that brings the world of midi, in a familiar feel to guitarists, the Misa Digital Kitara Digital Guitar is an experimental new instrument, similar to an electric guitar in shape, but with an interface designed to easily and intuitively control digital audio. Most musicians today use some form of audio synthesis or sampling in their music. Virtually any type of sound can be created using these methods. Traditionally, digital piano keyboards have been the dominant instrument for controlling these sounds real-time in a musical setting. The Kitara is a new instrument that not only unites traditional guitar playing technique with digital sound, but allows digital guitarists to use playing techniques that are not possible or comfortable on a digital keyboard.

The Misa Kitara consists of three main components: a full fretboard, a multi-touch screen and an onboard polyphonic synthesizer with sounds and effects. The Kitara's neck has 24 frets, but instead of strings each fret contains buttons. You play notes by touching on the screen. The position and movement of your touch determine how the sound is generated and processed. You can apply a number of digital effects, including distortion, delay and modulation, and you can control these effects through the touch panel interface. You can save sounds as presets, and you can swap preset files online. You can assign one sound to all six strings, or assign different sounds to different strings. The Kitara can control compatible MIDI devices too. Everything is configurable. It runs Linux and is open source

There are some very minor signs of wear and marks here and there, a slight fading on the print as shown, but nothing major at all and obviously have been looked after very well.

KORG Rare ROM Card for 707 FM Keyboard, PSU-200 ROM Card, "Synthesizer Programs"

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

via this auction

"This is a Korg ROM card, "Synthesizer Programs" for use with the "CARD" bank, on the FM synth keyboard, the 707. It is in very good + condition, and works for the FM keyboard that's the little brother to the DS-8 FM Synth, the 707 Performance Synthesizer. This listing is for the Korg card itself, it's small booklet with the lists of sounds, a nice Korg jewel case insert (with no writing on it) and an excellent condition jewel case for all of these, for storage and protection.

The card can be accessed right from your front panel, with no need to load them into memory, thereby allowing you to keep whichever sounds you like in the internal RAM memory, AND this excellent ROM card in the card slot. You can also split and layer them with the internal sounds, make new combinations, etc.

With 200 sounds, this card will really expand the range of your 707 performance FM synthesizer!"
