Spektro Komplex - New MaxforLive Buchla Style FM Synthesizer - Promo Codes!




"About: Spektro Komplex is a MaxforLive monophonic synthesizer designed to create complex and unique sounds.

Like the Buchla 261e module, Komplex uses two oscillators to produce FM sounds. What really makes this synth stand out is it's habilities to morph the waveform of the first oscillator (carrier) and use a different waveform for the second oscillator (modulator).

The frequency of the second oscillator (modulator) is calculated based on the operation:

Oscillator 1 Frequency (operation) Ratio = Oscillator 2 Frequency

For example: If the frequency of the first oscillator is 220Hz, the operation is set to multiplication, and the ratio is set to 2, the frequency of the second oscillator will be 440Hz. A variable offset can also be added to the resulting frequency.

3 different effects that can be used to further manipulate the sound:

- Shape: fold, wrap or clip the signal.

- Overdrive

- Spread: creates a stereo-widening effect by delaying the right channel.

You can use Spektro Komplex to create anything from classic FM bass to metallic percussion sounds. It's also a great tool for sound designer who want to create complex synthetic sounds."

"Ultra rare! This is one killer all analog monosynth by Macbeth Studio Systems. 3 oscillator madness, will give any Moog or Arp a run for their money. I've had arps and moogs and this one has it's own character. One note is that the Oscillator 1 knob should be cleaned since it is a little scratchy. Other than that, everything works great and sounds fantastic, especially the filter!.."

Emulator II noodling - Oct 2013


Published on Oct 14, 2013 SynthMania·272 videos

"A quick demo of one of my 'vintage sampler' setups in my currently very messy studio. The E-mu Emulator II is a classic '80s machine, and one of my favorite samplers. With a Macintosh SE and a Macintosh Classic running Sound Designer. Rhythms by LinnDrum. The effects are Lexicon model 200 reverb and AMS DMX15-80S delay. Tracked on a 1984 Soundcraft Series 1600 24ch. mixing console."

Elka Drummer One SUPER ULTRA RARE VINTAGE Analog Drum Machine

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

via this auction

Video at the auction and previously posted here.

"This unit has 16 preset rhythms and 9 individual drum sounds that all have volume knobs on the front of the unit.

Just as an FYI, when I was testing the circuits, I also casually checked out the "Solo Rhythmer" plug on the rear of the unit. My best guess, considering the vintage of this unit, is that it was used to interface with an Elka organ and provide some sort of gating/arpeggio CV-type functions to the organ. When I made connections to different points with a volt meter, I found the following functions which could be accessed if you were willing to hack into the unit and put 1/8" ins and outs instead of the very odd connector that it uses-

· trigger outputs (kick for sure, perhaps snare)

· different drum patterns (making one connection for example would trigger the snare to play more often within a given pattern- seemed like a "fill" function of some sort)

· clock outputs (one of them was 1 ppqn if I remember correctly)

· something that shorted the audio, which I would guess might be individual outs for the drum machine

· there could have been trigger inputs, but I wasn't very thorough with my testing of this function as it's not a main feature of this unit

DISCLAIMER- I make no claims that the 5 previous features will work for you, as they might not work exactly as described (after all, I don't have the service manual to tell me what they do, so I'm just poking around and guessing)

The flaws for this unit-

1. somebody painted it black at some point, but not very well. it's a very glossy black as you can see in the pictures
2. the top lamp is not working (but the bottom light is working)
3. the "short cymbal" sound is not working (although I can hear it very faintly in the ouptut)
4. the faceplate is in good, but not perfect condition- see pictures for details

The original unit had a wood finish, but this specific unit has been painted a glossy black at some point. The paint job wasn’t done very well (please see the pictures that show the quality of the paint job), but it does look pretty nice from a distance. It's nothing that a good paint-stripping and varnishing job couldn't take care of to let the original, beautiful wood shine through.

This drum machine was used on the Kraftwerk records ”Kling Klang” and “Tanz Musik”, as well as by many German Kosmische/Krautrock bands such as- Cluster, Roedelius, Tangerine Dream, and Popul Vuh."

MOTM-730 Through Mobius Test

Published on Oct 14, 2013 John L Rice·230 videos

"The Synth Tech MOTM-730 Pulse Divider works well as an 'solo organ' creation module by using a VCO controlled by a keyboard to drive it and then taking several of the 730 outputs and mixing them together. I wanted to try this sort of patch through the Strymon Mobius Rotary effect to see how it would sound. Sorry for the mindless noodling on the keyboard! ;-)"

DELPTRONICS THUNDERCLAP HAND CLAP

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

via this auction | Rhythm Active (RSS)

"The Delptronics Thunderclap is a classic analog hand clap effect based on the famous hand clap sound of the TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines. Our version has extra knobs to tweak the sound from claps to finger snaps to snares to cymbals to thunderous crashes.

Features

The Thunderclap has four knobs: noise level, filter, decay and volume. The knobs can be ajusted to create hundreds of unique percussion sounds. Turn the knobs to approximately 11 o'clock for the clasic hand clap. Turn them all the way up for an effect that sounds like getting hit in the face with a metal trash can lid!

The Thunderclap can be manually triggered by pressing stomp/trigger button, or externally triggered by any positive pulse from a synthesizer, sequencer, or drum machine. It makes a great accompanyment to a TR-606 or Delptronics LDB-1.

It also also has a built-in mini-sequencer. Holding down the record button records a series of trigger events (button or external) and the pauses between them (e.g.
"clap - - - clap - clap"). Then, whenenver it is triggered, it will play back the recorded sequence instead of a single clap. If you press the record button while the trigger button is already pressed, then the recorded sequence repeats in a loop. A trigger event stops playback of the loop. Pressing and releaseing the record button with no trigger events clears the recorded sequence. The sequence can be up to 32 steps long, and the pauses can total up to two minutes."

Envelator trills & Switched on Euro Bach´s "Two Part Invention No.13"



via Daniel Anselmi on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"This is Malekko/Wiard Envelator doing the "ratched" function you find in sequencers of old. I use it in 'cycle' mode with the 'delay' parameter controlled by an LFO to make the 'trill' effect in some notes.

The audio chain is one half of the Cwejman VCO-2RM (exp FMed with the other half) sent to the Plan B M13 Dual Timbral Gates in "both" mode."

Red Sound Systems Elevata Virtual Analog Poly-Synth

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

via this auction | Noisebug (RSS)

"The Elevata is a virtual analog poly-synth with a back-to-basic's interface and big analog sounds. The same DSP analog modeling synthesizer technology used in the DarkStar has been beefed up for this sound module. The front panel swivels 90 degrees to facilitate rack-mounting or desktop use. Several hands-on knobs are plainly laid out for the oscillator, filter, envelope, and LFO sections in a simple, streamlined and intuitive interface.

It is 16-voice polyphonic and has 8 multi-timbral parts. There are two analog modeling oscillators per voice with square, sawtooth, sine & formant waveforms. The filter is a 2-pole (12dB/oct) with switchable low-, high-, or band-pass modes. There are ADSR envelopes for the filter and VCA sections and two syncable LFOs with multiple waveforms. You will also find portamento, a basic arpeggiator, chorus and flange effects, and a joystick controller assignable to any modulatable parameter. There are no reverb or delay effects unfortunately.

Every parameter has a knob or switch just a hand-grab away, so creating sounds is quick and easy on the Elevata. The Sound Wizard is a cool function that randomizes various parameters. This allows you to experiment with creating random sounds, hopefully leading to some happy accidents! Your custom creations can be stored in any of 127 user patches. There are also 127 preset patches and 90 multi-patches (aka performances). The Multi-patches can have up to eight different patches for creating some very lush arrangements."
