Computer Love

via Glen on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"I recorded a super quick version of Computer Love with my MS20 Mini & Korg Voca Keys. Drums are samples and I used a ton of reverb to make the lead synth sound bigger. As much analog goodness as 600 odd bucks will get you these days!"

"MS20 is doing the bass, Volca Keys the rest."

Moog Minimoog Model D with Mods SN 1325 - #325 of the First Run of Minis Built

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

via this auction

"The Mini was professionally serviced a few months ago including re-capping of the power supply and cards, new keyboard bushings, and tuning and scaling.
This Mini is the 325th one ever built.
It sounds amazing, and plays great.
As with all of the first few hundred made, it has the original metal face plates and clear modulation and pitch wheels.
This Mini has served me faithfully for years.
There are a few useful modifications:
-The oscillator card has been replaced with the more stable version(all the other cards are the original R.A. Moog cards)
-The S-Trig input has been replaced with a 1/4" input that accepts standard Gate/Trigger for easier interface with external controllers
-There is a two-way switch that shifts the CV control of the oscillators from the keyboard to the external CV Input
There is also the remnants of one mod that was probably installed before the newer Oscillator board was installed.
You can see it on the side where the two holes that are labeled 'High' and 'Low' are."

"This is a hand-made noise device, with a Synthrotek Chaos NAND Synth circuit. The circuit is based on the 4093 NAND CMOS IC.

This device has an added capacitor bank for even more insane sounds. The enclosure is made of 18 gauge steel, and the bottom and the top panels are 10 (1/8" thick heavy duty) gauge perforated, steel. The bottom panel is removable. A 9V power adapter is included, and also has a 1/4" audio output jack. Multi-colored LED pulses red, green, and blue.

I have used this for about 5 months there are various nicks and scratches, but the unit functions fine. This item is HAND-MADE; it has imperfections in its finish, buts its built to last. I makes deep droning, chaotic, noisy, rich, thick, squealing, screaming and percussive sounds. Its basically generates square waves that cross-modulate each other..."

Just remember to turn it back down afterwords, especial before watching The Schmidt video below. This system sounded absolutely insane live.

Unfortunately there is a ton of clipping in this video. The input was a bit too high. I opted to go ahead an post this as you can still get a feel for the synth and there isn't any clipping on some parts. You are going to have to use your imagination for most of this one. I can attest there was zero clipping coming from the synth itself and it sounded absolutely amazing. If you can bear through the clipping there are some definite sweet spots.

There might also be another big feature he alludes do but does not yet reveal. I won't betray his trust, so I'll just say it was a jaw dropper - the next evolution of the iPad as a viable synthesis and audio processing device. He almost gives it away so watch closely.

MATRIXSYNTH NAMM 2014: Noise Engineering Booth Module Overviews & Demo

Uploaded on Jan 30, 2014 matrixsynth·286 videos

http://www.noiseengineering.us

Modules featured include the Ataraxic Translatron, Basimiuls Iteritas, Variatic Sequent and Loquelic Iteritas. Details on each captured further below for the archives. Directly below is a direct audio in demo.

"The Ataraxic Translatron is a linear feedback shift register oscillator similar to those used in the first generation of home video game consoles such as the Atari VCS as well as many other classic arcade games.

Linear feedback shift registers are an ingenious way to produce a variety of sounds with an extremely small amount of hardware. The Atari VCS used only around 35 logic gates to produce all of its sounds. The complexity of tone for relatively minimal hardware made this synthesis technique common for sound in the first generation of video games where hardware costs were the primary development constraint. As video games entered popular culture these sounds became iconic but have seldom made it out of the video game world except when sampled from the games themselves or as their own genre of music “chiptunes”. The Ataraxic Translatron gives you classic arcade sounds in Eurorack format to be used just like any other VCO.

13 patches vary from a simple square wave to white noise with your favorite arcade sounds in between. All tones are available in 6 octaves range. A standard 1 volt per octave pitch control and CV control of the current patch are squeezed into a compact 4HP. An external clock mode that allows an external clock to drive the shift register allows for additional tone generation and modulation.

Please note that Noise Engineering has no affiliation with Atari and the use of the word Atari is as an example of a classic product that uses a similar sound generation algorithm."

Spongebob square wave weird sound generator noise synth CMOS 40106

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

via this auction

"This is an auction for a very cool and styling LFO Synth/Noise Box

This is a brand new circuit made and enclosed into the spongebob case

The circuit is fully tested and stable. It can be mixed into other effects or amps but beware as it is very loud and awesomely noisy!

The main power for the circuit is applied by a 9v center negative power supply (not included)
Toggle switch on left side is the power.
Turning off the circuit discharges a large capacitor and in turn makes the oscillators sputter as the voltage dies.
This can also be simulated with the Red Pot in the center that controls the voltage in.

The synth has 2 stages LEFT and RIGHT and each stage corresponds to the stereo out guitar jack on the back right of the case
There is also 2 mono outputs one for LEFT and RIGHT

The main LFOs are controlled by the Pots on either side of the Volt. Pot.
The Left Pot controls the LEFT LED and also modulates the 2 oscillators that are also on the LEFT stage

These other OSCs are controlled by a momentary push button. Hold on to make the OSC mix to the output. While holding the push button you can vary the light coming into the photocell above the button. This is a cool photo theremin like effect that creates a really cool wah-wah sound

The RIGHT STAGE LFO/LEDs/OSCs act in the same way as described above for the LEFT STAGE.

This Unit is sold as-is with no returns. This is because it is an open source circuit that allows the buyer to go in and prod around if you like.

This is a very cool interface that could be used by electronic artists or noise performers. It is also useful for samples or just scaring the crap out of your neighbors and pets!

I am currently an Electronic Engineering student and have been designing/building/hacking/selling custom interfaces for the last 5 years."

Elby Designs AVR Synth 16 Review on modularsynth.ru

via Dimitry on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"Yet another Elby Designs module reviewed: this time it is 16-bit version of well-known AVR Synth. It is available since 2005, but I didn't find any really detailed review, so I decided to translate my Russian article about DIY-kit, history of the instrument and some projects-successors."

"The AVRSYN project was started by Polish experimentalist Jaroslaw Ziembicki in the year 2002 as the experiment of making a complete synth on single chip. I’d like to say that slavic people are talented with low-level programming and can get 250% efficiency from obsolete technologies. Initially, the synthesizer was built around 16-bit Atmel AT90S8535 MCU. In 2005—2006 project was continued by Paul Maddox and Laurie Biddulph. Eventually, they developed the PCB, the program code was ported to modern ATMEGA16-8 and the comments were translated to English. At the same time, Biddulph started to sell synthesizer as the Elby Designs product that is still available today.

The project was developed to number of forks like 32-version made by Daniel Kruszina. His version has extended functionality, partial MIDI-control and even the wavetables. This version is also available at Elby Designs. In 2010, James Grahame with a few friends and also, supported by the original developers, made a completely new project, that is called MeeBlip..."

ROLAND JX-3P Analog Synthesizer 1983 | HD DEMO | PATCHES

Published on Jan 30, 2014 AnalogAudio1·123 videos

"(c) 2014 by AnalogAudio1

You can buy these patches - read the description for further details.

Synthesizer demo of the analog synthesizer Roland JX-3P from 1983.
In this movie I play some of my own sounds - on some sounds I used a small amount of digital delay from a Roland DEP-5 (my favourite unit for delays).

The JX-3P has a flexible sound architecture with 2 DCOs, oscillator synch, ring modulation and more LFO waveforms. Just one ADSR, like the Juno series. It also has chorus (just one setting).The JX-3P has not many sliders and knobs... you get them if you buy the programmer PG-200 from Roland.
________________________________________­_____________

THE SOUND PROGRAMS IN THIS MOVIE:

Do you own a Roland JX-3P synth and want to get these fantastic sounds for your synth?

The brandnew "ANALOGAUDIO1 JX-3P PATCH BANK" costs 12,99 Euros and includes 64 great patches (two banks with 32 patches) fat analog pads, great retro sounds, fantastic basses, sequencer sounds and funky leads (in one word: all you hear in the video and some more).

As an experienced synth player and composer I created these patches for professional use. This patchbank gets the most out of your Roland JX-3P. Also included is a patch list (PDF), to find the right sounds quickly. The sounds are not available anywhere else.

The patchbank will only work with a JX-3P and with the MKS-30 Planet S (which is the rack format of the JX-3P).

After payment through PayPal you will get the patchbank as a sound file (wav) for the built in tape interface of your JX-3P and a patchlist (list with names of the patches) via email.

If you want to buy the "ANALOGAUDIO1 JX-3P PATCHBANK", send a message to ceramic-man@gmx.de (and check your spam folder, I answer quickly).

And the original uses 2 patterns.
I'm only playing the first.

138 bpm

Gear:
Roland RE 201 (Reverb)
Roland TB 303 (Acid bass)
Roland TR 707 (Drums) .... but of course. :)

The track is over 20 years old but still sounds great.
I'll upload the pattern to my blog so you can have a play with it
yourself.

New Roland Jupiter-8 Tracks by Danielle aka TheSynthFreq

"Its Got To Be Magic" by Danielle Published on Jan 29, 2014 TheSynthFreq·209 videos

"Hi! The new year of 2014 is starting with some fast paced pure Jupiter-8 magic. :) I recorded all tracks just from the analogue Jupiter-8 only. The only sounds not from the Jupiter of course is the drum track. The drum track was written and programmed by me using an awesome app for the iphone called FunkBox, using a Linn drum machine emulation.

Track 1 on the 4-track recording machine (MRS4b), is chords, drums and bassline all in one take at one time just like using a real tape machine. Now venturing in to the world of audio track over track recording, many more possibilities are available for recording full complete songs with our beloved analogue synths that do not feature MIDI or the MIDI implementation doesn't allow multi-timbral recording to a 16-track midi sequencer.

Synths used: ONLY JUPITER-8 :)

Please enjoy the pure Jupiter-8 funkiness!
:) Danielle"

"Evolve" by Danielle

Published on Jan 29, 2014

"HI!
This purely Jupiter-8 new wave style composition features new patches recorded to 4-track. Only 2 of the 4 tracks are used here and lead is played live.

This song is about evolving positively in every day.
Keep things synthy out there everyone! :)

Please enjoy
:) Danielle"

"Forever and Ever" by Danielle

Published on Jan 29, 2014

"Hi! :)
Here is a somewhat Rock/synth pop kind of composition, with a soundtrack to an 80s movie kind of feeling to it. I used all new original Jupiter-8 patches and used 2 tracks to the audio recorder which is on the stand above the Jupiter-8. I recorded JP in split mode, bass on the lower end and strings/synth on the top end of the keyboard.

The lead patch is a massive lead sound that has been set to mono or "solo" on the Jupiter-8 and also has some mild portamento added in for control with the pitchbend.

This lead is originally played in harmony with the Moog Liberation keytar.

Please enjoy :)"
