Synthrotek Vac Pak Kit - CV for Anything Now Available

via Synthrotek

"Have you ever wanted to add control voltage to a parameter on your synth or circuit bent toy? Now you can!

The Vac Pak is a vactrol-based control voltage to variable resistance circuit.
Connect your CV source to the input jack.
Set the Scale and Offset trim pots to dial in your optimal resistance, with a range between ~300 ohms to ~10M (all vactrols are a little different in range).
Connect the wires from J4 to your circuit to make a variable resistor.
Daisy-chain multiple Vac Paks to the same power source using the remaining connector (either J2 OR J3).
Power the Vac Pak with a 9V battery clip (wired to J2 or J3) or with your circuit's on-board voltage source (wired to J2 or J3).
An onboard 5V regulator allows the Vac Pak to be powered with 6-18V DC.
Caution: Do not exceed +10V DC on the CV input, more may burn up your vactrol!"

BC 16 Chimera Synthesis Portable Modular Synth

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

via this auction

"Manufacturer Description:
The bC16 miniature patch synthesizer packs a fully featured VCO, LFO, envelope generator, analog VCA, analog VCF, noise sources & ring modulator all in a CD sized case CNC machined from 10mm high-grade acrylic plastic.

Fifteen color coded potentiometers control key functions, connections between synthesizer sections are done using twenty-five 2mm mini-banana sockets.

Powered by either six AAA batteries or by an external (not supplied) 9 to 12v source, the bC16 can be used free standing (internal headphone amplifier), linked to an external keyboard/sequencer or MIDI-CV converters, combined with other bC16's, etc...

Now with a 2 year warranty, advanced v3 firmware (arpeggiator, NRPN MIDI support), a price of £300.00 +delivery (& VAT in UK/EU) and hundreds of (seriously) diverse bC16 customers across the world ranging from award winning composers, industrial/electro/punk/rock/ pop/soul/new-age bands, games designers and film/TV to drone artists.

bC16 sections:
VCO: The complex VCO (actually two linked VCO's) waveshape can be adjusted through sine/triangle/sawtooth and square wave (with adjustable dutycycle). The VCO can be CV modulated (log response), FM modulated (linear response) or can be driven by MIDI NOTE values. The two linked VCO's can be offset using a control knob, CV or MIDI for rich complex tones.

LFO: Like the VCO the LFO is actually two linked low frequency oscillators with a host of modulation possibilties and waveshapes. Like the VCO the LFO can also be controlled via MIDI.

VCF: An all analog 24dB discrete ladder filter with variable cuttoff (knob and CV), adjustable resonance, specially designed to work from the low voltage busses in the bC16.

EG: The bC16 envelope generator is very easy to use, four knobs (or via MIDI) control the Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release parameters of the envelope. Set sustain to zero and the EG enters repeat mode for long VCS3 style modulation possibilites.

VCA & HEADPHONE AMP: An analog voltage controlled amplifier is provided along with an built-in headphone amplifier (volume control via grey knob).

MIDI INTERFACE: An enhanced internal MIDI interface allows control (monophonic) of:
NOTE to VCO FREQUENCY
ENVELOPE triggering (patchable trigger output)
PITCHBEND (including pitchbend amount via RPN)
PORTAMENTO on/off
PORTAMENTO rate
MODULATION (bC16 has modulation output)
REMOTE/OVERRIDE control of 12 of the 15 knobs via CC# and/or NRPN

ARPEGGIATOR: An internal arpeggiator allows you to control arpeggio's (rising, falling, rising/falling, ordered) via either an internal clock (20 to 6,000 BPM) or via an externally supplied MIDI CLOCK (BPM/2 to BPM x24).

WHITE acrylic plastic
Each bC16 is built from 3 layers of a high-grade acrylic plastic , each layer is CNC machined on both sides in-house. The sandwich is then assembled and seven bolts hold the entire unit rigidly together. Recent improvements in machining technology have improved the fit and finish."

GForce Software Announces Oddity2

Published on Nov 4, 2014 GForce Software

"A quick run-down of the new and enhanced features in Oddity2. Music composed by DJ Dean Coleman using Oddity2"

"Oddity2 is the successor to the multi-award winning Oddity, modelled on the legendary ARP Odyssey synthesiser, manufactured between 1972 and 1981.

During its lifetime the Odyssey, due to it's versatile and distinctive tones, was used by artists as diverse as Gary Numan, John Foxx, Herbie Hancock, Kraftwerk, Chick Corea, Roger Powell, George Duke, 808 State and countless others. Ultravox's Billy Currie refers to it as the 'first punk synth' due to its snarling aggression, thanks in part to an on-board ring modulator, oscillator sync and duophonic capabilities.

Sporting a new livery based on the final revision Odyssey, Oddity2 takes the character and operational architecture of the original and via a wave of enhancements, transports the spirit of the original into a new dimension.

First up, while the duophonic and monophonic modes have been retained, Oddity2 now also offers a monophonic legato mode which wasn't evident on the Odyssey, plus a POLYPHONIC MODE. Yes, now finally it's possible to stop wondering what the Odyssey's classic tones would sound like within the context of chord based structures, and put it into practice. Everything from spiky and resonant textures to lush and warm pads sounds can either be programmed from Oddity2's intuitive controls or simply dialled up via the accompanying presets.

Furthermore, via three filter modes and an additional oscillator, Oddity2 can sound as versatile and punchy as its main rival back in the day.

Oddity2 doesn't stop there either, in order to overcome the original instrument's limitation of a single LFO, we've also added the ability to apply an additional LFO and ADSR to almost any of the main Oddity2 sliders, which gives the instrument almost unrivalled versatility and depth when it comes to sound design options.

Additional improvements over its predecessor include an on-board delay, spread or random pan modes, patch morphing via beats or seconds, program change recognition and implementation of the two octave transpose switch for dynamic real-time performances.

Put simply, Oddity2 further builds on the significance and lineage of the original hardware and software instruments, by taking its fundamental sonic character and, via a raft of carefully considered musical enhancements, transplants it into the hands of those musicians ready to take it to both familiar and new horizons.

Jam & Spoon - Stella, live cover version

Published on Nov 5, 2014 Tony Horgan

"Played live with no computers, featuring a Korg Volca Bass, Volca Keys, Roland Aira TR-8, Novation MiniNova, Korg KaossPad Quad and Zoom 1201 effects units. Read more for the technical details... The Roland TR-8 controls the tempo of the Volca Keys via MIDI. The Volca Bass plays the main chords and riff but is not synced with any connection. Instead, the Volca Bass has its tempo set to 66bpm (half the track's tempo of 132) in order to create a longer pattern. The Volca Bass plays two sustained chords and is passed through the external input and sidechain of the Roland TR8. The TR8 then cuts the chords into a rhythmic pattern. The Volca Bass is then sent to one of the TR8's assignable outputs and through a Zoom 1201 effects processor which adds a delay effect. I couldn't find a suitable place to set up the camcorder so I did this one-handed with the camcorder in the other."

BENJOLIN PROTOTYPE

Published on Nov 5, 2014
“The Benjolin is a ‘noise box’ that is ‘bent by design’, meaning that it always has a definite amount of unpredictability while it is still intuitive to play. The Benjolin features two eighteen-octave range voltage controlled oscillators that drive a ‘rungler’ circuit, circuitry that in essence uses a special interference technique feeding back into the oscillators to force them into wild chaotic behaviour.
A special slightly chaotic filter is both excited and modulated by the signals from the rungler circuitry processes, producing sounds between fat drones to grungy noise havoc.” - Rob Hordijk

Happy Zelda Month! If you didn't catch it, I was planning on doing Dragon Roost Island for Video 20 for months now, so it just so happened to land on the first wednesday of November, so I decided to go crazy and do all zelda songs for the entire month of November, in honor of the illustrious PBG.

I really put my own spin on this one, and I really hope y'all appreciate it. While I was messing with the chords, it kept reminding me of one of my favorite Jazz standards, Take Five by Dave Brubeck. The melody also fit really well in 5, so I decided to give the song a swing, drop a beat, and make the song that way. I tried to create a synth jazz combo, using my arturia to make a nice bass tone, and trying to keep the tempest more tame for the jazzy synth drums.

My good friend Peter from Soundole VGM Covers added some sweet flute sounds on his EWI. I hope you enjoy it!
