Todd Barton and Bruce Bayard Easel Duet at Schneider Museum, SOU Ashaland

Pic in via Brian Comnes

"Todd Barton and Bruce Bayard Easel Duet at Schneider Museum, SOU Ashaland. Bruce's Easel is actually a Russian Clone [I'm guessing it is a Roman Filippov Easel clone]. And the bigger Buchla to the right of Todd was used mostly for spatial movement in a quadrophonic set up. They will do this every month here for the next few months."

The performances happen the first Friday of the month. You'll find details posted here.

Sequential Circuits Split Eight with Custom Blue LEDs

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

via this auction

"The Split-8 makes for a very nice programmable polyphonic analog synthesizer with complete MIDI implementation. With 8 voices and 8 oscillators (Curtis 3394 SENTE chips) the Split-8 is a heavy contender against the Roland Juno-106! However programming the synth, while straight forward and intuitive, is limited to adjusting one parameter at a time assigned to one Data knob. This limits performance ability but is no problem during studio use. The keyboard features splits and layers, all of which can be saved with patch data. Choose between 8 voice polyphony with 1 oscillator per voice, 4 voice polyphony with dual oscillators per voice, 2 voice polyphony with a mega 4 oscillators per voice, or the unison mode which is just a fat 8-voice solo mode for trance bass and lead heaven! Similar to the Juno-106, the Split-8 uses a Chorus effect to liven up the sounds. Sonically the Split-8 sounds much 'thinner' than a Roland Juno-106, however this 'thin' sound is characteristic of Sequential and is quite nice. The wooden side panels definitely give the Split-8 that vintage flare! The synth has been enhanced by a trained tech with aa battery compartment, all new leds matching side panels , synth is in great shape , work wonderfully. Sold as is ."

Fifth Degree: MIDI Sequencer for iPad

iTunes: Fifth Degree: MIDI Sequencer - Bernie Maier (Currently Free!)

"From a few simple elements complexity can arise. Fifth Degree is a MIDI sequencer based on a simple concept: loop around the musical circle of fifths in key and tweak the performance parameters live. You can use it to create a mesmerising loop and change the way it plays or use it as a base while you improvise alongside it with another instrument. You can even use it as a convenient loop of notes while you try out different sound patches on your synthesizer.

Features:
• Lean user interface that gathers the essential performance controls on the main screen.
• Fixed sequence of notes (ascending circle of fifths).
• Clearly displays the notes in the key and scale you select.
• Outputs to CoreMIDI output ports (virtual, network and physical).
• Keeps sending MIDI while in the background.
• Can send MIDI notes and MIDI clock, so other apps can choose to synchronise.

Fifth Degree is a MIDI sequencer app supporting any CoreMIDI output: virtual MIDI, MIDI over Wi-Fi and CoreMIDI compatible hardware interfaces. Since it is a sequencer it does not generate sounds on its own, so use it with your favourite CoreMIDI-compatible sound generation app or hardware.

Fifth Degree was developed for the 2014 KVR Developer Challenge. It is powered by the MidiBus library from Audeonic."

I even throw in some details on working out drum patterns. Along with tips for playing Acid live. I tried to keep this as Squelch-lite as possible so as to avoid driving non-acid fans crazy.

Rebel Technology Bit Reactor

via Control on Facebook

"NEW Bit Reactor care of the UK's Rebel Technology is now available. Bit Crusher / Down Sampler / 10HP"

"The Bit Reactor is a hardware bit crusher and downsampler. It has no program or CPU, it digitises without software. It takes whatever signal you give it and crunches it up into digital atoms.

We live in an analogue world. But most of the media that we encounter today is digital: an attempt to reproduce real-world signals with a stream of 1s and 0s.

In the realm of modern electronics there’s plenty enough processing power to create a crystal-clear digital copy of pretty much any analogue signal. The Bit Reactor, on the other hand, explores what can happen when we take all that processing power and throw it out the window. Think of an old Atari or NES in all its 8-bit glory and you’ll start to get the idea.

There are two main parameters to play around with on the Bit Reactor: bit depth and sampling frequency. Less bits means the signal levels can’t be properly reproduced, and this can result in anything from a fairly subtle to a super-clipped square wave distortion and its associated harmonics. Meanwhile the sampling frequency determines the maximum frequency that can be accurately reproduced. As it is decreased, the higher frequencies present in the input can no longer be accurately recreated. But rather than these frequencies simply being discarded, they reappear at a different, enharmonic frequency due to the phenomenon known as aliasing. These effects, on their own and in combination, create unique audio artefacts that range from subtle colouring to complete destruction.

The 8 small LEDs surrounding the middle knob represent the number of bits being used (each LED represents 1 bit); as the knob is turned clockwise, more bits are added and more LEDs are lit.

The sampling frequency increases as the knob is turned clockwise. At the fully anti-clockwise position the sampling frequency will be so low that virtually no note will pass through unscathed.

Both of these parameters can be modulated via the CV inputs and the modulation depth is also adjustable for both parameters. Modulation is positive, meaning an increase in CV corresponds to turning the knob clockwise, and vice versa.

Finally there is an input level adjustment to provide a small boost or cut as required to get the maximum tonal variance out of the bit crush. To fully exercise the dynamic range of a handful of bits the input should be high but not clipping. If the input level is low, there won’t be a marked difference when at the lower end of the bit knob. This can be demonstrated by taking a rather extreme example: at 4 bits, the output is stepped with a resolution of just over 300mV per step. That means that if the input level were 300mVpp, at 4 bits the output would already be a square wave (one step), exactly the same as when using 3, 2, or 1 bit.

On the other hand, an input level that is too high could also be undesirable. The module’s input has a limiting circuit which caps the signal at 5Vpp. With an overdriven input this limiting circuit will already be distorting the signal before it even gets put through the analog-to-digital converter. The higher the input level, the more it will be distorted. There will be those amongst you, I’m sure, who will say ‘And the problem with that is..?’ However if the goal is to only colour the sound with the crushing/downsampling and nothing else, the option is there to cut the input down to size.

Now GO MAKE SOME NOISE!

Mutable Instruments Ambika Poly Synth

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

via this auction

"Ambika is a monster hybrid polysynth. Its design consists of a motherboard and 6 voicecards, each of them carrying a turbocharged version of the Shruthi hybrid synthesizer (digital waveform synthesis through analog VCF/VCAs). Whether you want to use this as six monosynths, a six-voice polysynth, or anything in-between is up to you: MIDI channels/keyboard range/patches/voices are distinct concepts, allowing complex layered, split, multitimbral setups. In addition, each voice has a switched individual output.

Two flavors of voicecards are used in this build although others are available: 5, 4-pole Low Pass filter SMR4, , and a 1, classic 2-pole multimode filter. This allows you to mix and match several filter types inside the same unit – for example to play a pad on 5 4-pole voices, and a squelchy bandpass filtered lead on the multimode board.

Beyond the Shruthi

Improved sound generation engine

Ambika offers all the delicious digital waveform synthesis algorithms (FM, vowel synthesis, wavetables…) that made the Shruthi famous, and some newcomers too: CZ-style emulation of digital filters and wave sequencing. The oscillators signal is now processed through a fuzz/distortion and a bitcrusher before being sent to the analog filters.

The modulation possibilities are immense thanks to the 4 LFOs (3 synchronized and 1 free running), 3 ADSRs, and the large modulation matrix (14 slots, 4 modifiers)."
