Paper circuit & modular synth


Published on Sep 23, 2013 GruithuisenCityMan·456 videos

"Paper circuit & modular synth

Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made using a parper circuit and a Doepfer analog modular system.

The paper circuit has two outputs. One leads to the cutoff frequency of a lowpass filter and the other leads to the pitch CV control of an oscillator. So, with a wire coming from a Doepfer A-183-2 offset, i can control both parameters depending where the wire is on the paper circuit. Enjoy !"

"There were only 650 of these made for a very short time beginning in 1979. This one is #609. Controls include Off/On/Volume and Key knobs and three touch pads titled Slider, Tone andHalf Step. It is powered by a 9 volt battery and has its own built in speaker. It also has a jack. The body is beautifully hand-carved wood and shows very little wear for its age. The face and rear plates appear to be brass. The soundhole area of the face plate is a bit bent in but it should be very easy to straighten it. The foam under the plate is showing a minor amount of cracking due to age. The Key knob has a thin crack at the tightening screw but it is solid and functional. There are two minor, superficial scratches on the fingerboard. Overall, this is a beautiful instrument. It works. It comes with its original case. In the case, you will also find the original warranty card, complete with stamp, and the small Sonica brochure showing the major scale, info about the Sonica and music for a song to play. Sonicas are very rare and are seldom seen on the market. Don’t miss your chance to own this wonderful and beautiful instrument!"

As said earlier, this MS20 has the original Korg 35 filter circuit chips (no screw/daughterboard in the VCA section, front panel has the more grey-ish hue than the later versions, which typically have a more jet black-ish hue). It's in great physical condition for its age, with only minor surface blemishes, and no missing parts, broken parts, major dents, or major damage. The only flaw I can think of is a very small chip out of the bottom of one of the keys (not visible when viewed from above; doesn't affect function). There is also a vintage sticker on the right end cap, which could be easily removed..."

Prophet 12 Analog Filter Modulation

Published on Sep 22, 2013 experimentalsynth·87 videos

"I was able to to borrow a Prophet 12 recently. Since it has analog filters, I thought it might be interesting to do "analog things" to it. This is part of what happened next.

At first I was disappointed when I saw that there were no CV connections, but I soon found that the two pedal inputs can be used with a variety of CV gear.

In this video I have the Koushion Step Sequencer iPad app sending MIDI notes to the Moog Mult-Pedal. The Multi-Pedal converts them to an analog control Voltage which step-sequences the Prophet 12's filter.

The Moog CP-251 allows us to make multiple copies of the Control Voltage so we can also step-sequence a Moog Voyager and Little Phatty. Learn more at www.experimentalsynth.com"

Cotracks Music Studio for iPad

Cotracks: Official Trailer
Published on Sep 19, 2013 futucraft·3 videos

iTunes: Cotracks - Futucraft Oy

Additional videos below.

"This is the official trailer for the Cotracks Music Studio app for iPad. The video shows the Cotracks team playing and recording simultaneously and creating a tune in less than two minutes.

Cotracks is a collaborative music studio app designed for teamwork on a single iPad. Welcome to http://futucraft.com for more details."

"Cotracks is a collaborative music studio for teamwork on a single iPad. With Cotracks you can create multiple layers of loops and phrases using multiple instruments. Cotracks is designed to maintain your creative flow and is always ready to capture your ideas, regardless whether you are flying solo or collaborating with others.

Collaboration is where Cotracks really stands out. Everyone in your session has the ability to play and record at will without disrupting or being disrupted by the workflow of others. This lets you lay down the foundation of a tune within minutes and makes Cotracks the perfect and inspiring tool for brainstorming new ideas within a group.

The loops you create may be exported as separate audio clips or as a mixdown audio clip which you may then import and use in any audio software supporting the common wave audio format.

DESIGNED FOR VARYING NUMBER OF USERS

You can start off creating music in a single user mode. Later when your friend decides to join in, you switch to a two user mode. The interface layout will adjust enabling convenient access to the application from both sides of the table. Whenever another friend happens to join you, the layout will adjust again enabling access from all four sides of the device, letting you team up with up to three friends for a super creative music session. Whenever one or more members leave the session, it is as easy as a single tap to switch back to the smaller team or to the single user mode, letting the remaining members continue from where the others left off.

DESIGNED FOR VARIABLY SKILLED USERS

Cotracks offers lots of fun at the same time for both novice and advanced musicians with the help of scale based keyboard, flexible quantize, sequence sharing and editing capabilities. For example, a novice musician may grab a copy of a complicated sequence played by a more experienced friend and edit the instrument, sound and effects, record modulation controllers over the sequence and tweak the various playback parameters including key and scale. Essentially creating something new and exiting without necessarily playing a single note. Cotracks is all about giving everybody the means to contribute, which takes the concept of music collaboration to a new level.

It's like playing with a band, but this time you can record and play back your own parts, in perfect sync with others, and create the constituents for a great track at the same time. With Cotracks the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

How to Make Your DSI Mopho Sound "Better"

via Tony of Oakley Sound Systems on Muff's (via Daniel Nikolaj Sand on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge):

"I've got a Mopho keyboard and it's a great little thing. But one thing puzzles me; when listening to any patch using a pulse wave, I notice the overall sound somewhat dirty sounding. It's not very nice really.

You can hear what mine sounds like here:

http://www.oakleysound.com/Mopho&Pulse.wav

I popped the hood and found that it is caused by the internal CVs to the voice chip that control the pulse wdith having some sort of randomised voltage added to them.

However, it is not only the pulse width control voltages that have this unwanted randomisation. All of the CVs do, but it is most noticeable on the pulse widths. What got me onto the right track was the fact that all the CVs had worse noise when they were set to high values. This points the finger towards a noisy reference voltage to the system's DAC.

The DAC used on the Mopho Keyboard appears to use a 5V reference derived from the +12V supply. Now, the 12V supply gets tainted by noise from the other parts of the electronics of the Mopho - but in particular from the -5V charge pump power supply which generates horrible 80kHz perturbations.

However, the real problem is that the Mopho creates the 5V reference by simply dividing the +12V rail with a pair of resistors (R67 and R71). This divided down signal, complete with a portion of the noise from the +12V rail, gets sent to a voltage follower (U18b) and then sent to the DAC. Oh dear... because this noise now ends up on the CVs. The higher the CV the more noise gets through.

Solution: Filter the +5V reference voltage before it goes to the voltage follower. I did it with a 10uF tantalum cap soldered directly across R71. The reference voltage is now nice and quiet. The Mopho behaves better, not only with respect to the pulse wave, but also seems smoother in general tone too.

The Mopho Keyboard is primarily built from surface mount components using lead free solder. This makes it slightly more awkward to work on than older through hole designs. However, it is quite possible to do a nice job if you take care.

You'll need one 10uF, 16V tantalum capacitor. You can use a decent quality electrolytic if you wish, and in that case, a 10uF, 25V will suffice.

Solder the cap across the resistor R71. With the keyboard to the front of the unit, the positive terminal of the cap should be facing left. That is the negative end should go to the ground plane which is attached to the end of R71 that is nearest to the number 1 of its name.

Don't pull too hard on the cap once it is soldered in place because you might pull off the solder pads of R71.

For the Mopho Desktop:

This seems to be built in much the same way with the DAC reference being taken off the +12V line. I am guessing it too will have the same unwanted noise on the DAC reference. However, the board is different in several other respects and the parts numbering is different.

Now I haven't tried this but from online photographs I can assume that you will need to solder the 10uF cap across R52. This is situated, again above the DAC, near U12. The negative pin of the cap should be soldered towards the front of the unit, ie. the positive pin will be mounted nearest the R52 legending."

Surface Workshop at Art Center College of Design

Published on Sep 23, 2013

"Three weeks before launching its new line of products, the Surface design team took a trip to Pasadena, CA, where they held a 3 day workshop with renowned design school Art Center College of Design.

The group of 11 students chosen for the workshop were the first people outside of Microsoft to see a new accessory the design team has been working on: a music attachment that clicks into a Surface and allows users to easily remix music. They asked the students: what else would you want to attach to a Surface? They code named these attachments blades."

"Inside the application, you'll find "stems" (things like the bass track of a song), "clips" (the intro to a pop song, say) and "oneshots," which include sound effects like claps. From there, you can drag and drop the tracks into a workshop area, not unlike the way you'd handle media in a video-cutting program (or any other digital audio workshop, really). What's especially cool is that the Touch Cover here is pressure-sensitive, just like the new Touch Cover 2, so if you want a light drum sound, you can tap it lightly; if you want something more intense, just start mashing it with your fingers..."

"This is a Moog in suitcase. A synth designed by MuSonics and worked on by Bob Moog. The X/Y LFO's allow you to create layers of modulation that ad depth to any sound. The filter sounds amazing; I have never heard a filter oscillate as loudly and smooth as this synth's. This synth was fully restored by one of NYC's finest synth repair shops. I have a receipt from August 2013 that shows this synth was fully cleaned, calibrated and tested 100% functional. The speaker was even replaced with a newer, higher quality speaker that sounds nice. The speaker is great for coming up with sounds in your room, or taking the synth over to a friends place to write music. This synth has ring mod, separate outs for the pre-filter oscillator signals, oscillator sync, the LFO's can trigger the oscillator... there is so much this synth can do that even modern analog synths don't tackle..."

Vintage Fire Moog Modular 912 Envelope Follower

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

via this auction - learn how to sell on eBay here

via the seller / listing: "Okay. This is a vintage Moog Modular 912 Envelope Follower. And it LOOKS LIKE IT WAS IN A FIRE at some point. I came across it about ten years ago when I got my now-newly-sold Moog Modular system. I bought it only from looking at the front panel and while I was surprised at the condition when it arrived, I figured that seeing as how it was repaired and the front panel isn't wrecked, it really made no difference because this item is a function generator, not a sound generator. Before you bid on this, look carefully at the circuit board and the electronics. I never plugged this in and so I'm selling it as-is ASSUMING that it works. It looks like the diodes, transistors and variable resistors were replaced. And judging from the new solder points and new parts, some care went into restoring it. The front panel could use some more cleaning, but it's actually good to stick in your box right now. The front panel looks fine. Not great. But not awful either. Look at the picture. Your mom will never notice.

If nothing else it will be an interesting piece of history and quite a conversation piece in your modular system because it's a REAL MOOG MODULE so get over yourself. Where else are you going to find one of these? Probably nowhere. So decide what you're gonna do. Time's wasting. You may have a 911 and a 913 so fill in that gap with this HOT little number 912. This little guy really looks like a hero if you ask me (which you would if you were here), it's been through so much. It might be the sole survivor of a Big Moog Flameout for all we know. A Moog Champion. Maybe he pulled a trigger delay out with him and gave it input to output resuscitation. We'll never know what stories it holds in its quiet, yet proud circuitry. Right now it's just an orphan with no modular buddies to follow and swap voltages with. It's sad, really. But you can help. And I think you know the right thing to do. Yes, you do.

I have no way to test this, otherwise I would. But just like trying to choose the sex of your child, there are no guarantees. And like your teenage son, it may or may not work. But I think it does. This is all pretty exciting isn't it? What are you waiting for? Make it yours - don't let some nasty bid sniper rob you of your dreams. On behalf of this 912, I thank you."
