New Pittsburgh Modular Analog Replicator Eurorack Module

Published on Dec 3, 2014 Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers

"Cleaner, dirtier, brighter, darker, and more versatile than any other analog BBD delay line effects unit available. The Analog Replicator is the astounding result of over a year of ambitious design and engineering. The Analog Replicator was designed to be the finest analog delay available with a sound and feature set focused around the modular synthesizer."

"A New Beginning
The Analog Replicator was redesigned from scratch to be the finest analog delay available with a sound and feature set focused around the modular synthesizer.

Our original Analog Delay module grew out of the circuitry of a guitar pedal. The new Analog Replicator module does not share the same stompbox lineage. Michael Johnsen, Pittsburgh Modular's analog engineer, created a modern BBD core fed by a unique clock source and proprietary signal processing circuits. The result is a flexible, more musical, eurorack delay module.

How It Works
At the heart of the Analog Replicator is a pair of 4,096 stage BBD chips. The name BBD stands for [B]ucket [B]rigade [D]evice in reference to a line of people passing buckets of water to quickly extinguish a fire. Each stage of a BBD chip contains a single capacitor. Pairing two chips together creates a chain of 8,192 capacitors. Like the water buckets, an audio signal is passed from capacitor to capacitor within the BBD chips once every clock step. A slower clock produces a longer delay and a faster clock produces a shorter delay.

Multi-Mode Delay
The controls of the Analog Replicator can be used to produce a wide range of delay effects. The STAGES switch flips between 4,096 and 8,192 BBD stages. 4,096 uses a single BBD chip and 8,192 uses two. Using both BBD chips doubles the available delay time, perfect for echos and longer delays. Using a single BBD is useful for reverb and chorus effects. The SHORT/LONG switch drastically adjusts the delay range. The SHORT mode produces bright, clean analog repeats. LONG mode is dark and grimy. Mud and clock noise (whine) begin to leak in and eventually take over as the Analog Replicator reaches the longest available delay time of 2.6 seconds.

Availability, Price and More Information
The suggested retail price for the Analog Replicator module is $349 and it begins shipping to our dealers today. More information is available at pittsburghmodular.com/analog-replicator."

Moog Minimoog Model D Synthesizer Pristine Rare Early Version Signed by Goblin SN 1511

via the seller: " This one is very early serial number 1511, making it the 511th Mini ever made. Made in 1971. It's in virtually immaculate condition. From a very short run of a style where the front panel is flat metal with a smooth plastic coating. Clear pitch and mod wheels, white sided box. Very rare version. Recently serviced by Mike Bucki. Works and sounds great. Original early oscillator board. I had this signed by the Italian prog rock/horror soundtrack band Goblin at their first ever show on the continent North America. Claudio Simonetti used two of these for most of their work in the 70's and 80's. As far as I can tell, everything is working perfectly. I play it almost daily. New key bushings recently added when it was tuned and calibrated and gone through..."

Roland CR-78 CompuRhythm with Rare Future Retro Sync Box (One of Two Made)

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

via this auction

According to the listing only two of the FR Sync Boxes were made. I'll see if I can get confirmation on this from Future Retro.

via the listing:
"The programmer/sync box was custom made by Future Retro (only two made). Works similar to the original WS-1 that Roland released with this.

* Sync the CR-78 to any other Din Sync device
* Select the playback sync rate to: (1) normal speed, (2) double speed, (3) half speed
* Use external positive polarity Gate or Trigger signals to programm patterns into the CR-78 user memory.
* Manually tap a beat into the CR-78 user memory using the momentary switch on the front panel.
* Front panel blue LED lights to show when external gate or trigger signals are being received.
* Sync box is powered using a 9v battery (included)
* Instructions for using the sync box will be included with the item.

By syncing the playback of the CR-78 to your Din Sync master eg.TR-808/TR-606/Future Retro Revolution, you can then send the programmable trigger or gate signals out of the master into the programmer interface and on to the CR-78 for storing your own custom rhythms in the CR-78. When using a Din Sync master device which also has MIDI such as the Revolution, you can then sync your CR-78 to any other MIDI sequencers as well."

Update: I heard back from Future Retro. Not only are there only two in existence, this is the only one released to the public. The other is still with FR.

Making Percussion Loops with the VBrazil Modules

Making Percussion Loops with the VBrazil Modules from Icaro Ferre on Vimeo.

"After watching the 'one oscillator beat' by Todd Barton (https://vimeo.com/52013392), I thought it'd be a cool idea to try something similar using my new VBrazil modules, the Aether Oscillator and the MultiLFO.
The goal for the patch is simple: to create clicky percussion / drum loops using just one oscillator, some modulation sources and a wave-folder for some west coast vibe.

Explaining this patch in text is tricky because there's a lot of circular / cross modulation happening between the envelope, LFOs and S&H. On the other hand, I'll try to give you a basic overview of the patch:
- The main modulation source in the patch is the LFO 1 in the MultiLFO. LFO 1 can be set to different waveforms and it features a built-in S&H that can be triggered using the HardSync input. I'm using it to control the pitch of oscillator, the frequency of LFO 2 and 3, and some other misc parameters.
- The main clock signal comes from the square output of the LFO 3 (MultiLFO).
- The Expert Sleepers is being used as a wave-folder.
- LFO 2 controls the amount of wave-folding as well as the frequency of the Aether's internal LFO.

It's interesting to notice how the main rhythm comes from the LFO 1 which is basically using a S&H to extract somewhat-repeatable voltage patterns from the LFO itself.

Although its fairly easy to get weird stuff from this patch, I actually managed to cut and edit some loops from it. Download them for free at http://cloud.spektroaudio.com/1hoUh

A bit more about the VBrazil modules:
The VBrazil modules are designed and assembled by Vinicius Brazil, an engineer from Rio de Janeiro / Brazil.
The Aether Oscillator is a hybrid VCO: it generates analog waveforms (Sine / Triangle / Saw / Square / Sub 1 / Sub 2) and it features a built-in digital LFO that can be use for FM and PWM. The LFO can be set to different waveforms including some stepped ones.
The MultiLFO is a triple LFO. LFO 1 is a digital LFO with multiple waveforms, a built-in S&H, hard sync, and phase / symmetry control. LFOs 2 and 3 are analog and the waveform can be set ramp, triangle or sawtooth via the symmetry knob. LFOs 2 and 3 also have square outputs with adjustable pulse-width that can also be adjusted via the symmetry knob.

Thanks for watching! :)"

Hypersynth Xenophone Synthesizer - Function Test

Published on Dec 2, 2014 hot2warm

"This is my long-awaited Xenophone Synthesizer, the first physical synthesizer offering from Hypersynth. In this video, I simply test it to make sure that it works. Although long awaited, it's been sitting around for a couple months while too many other tasks had me occupied. Since this is a European offering, I had to use a power transformer that can step up and down power for using European appliances in the US and vice versa. It's also my first time using this transformer (I can do a review on that if you wish). I don't have a keyboard amp, so I pressed my old Gorilla guitar amp into service for this test. The pattern playing was already programmed."

via this auction

via the seller: "Vintage ARP 2810 Odyssey MKII with 4035 "moog" filter and factory CV and audio jacks. 4035 filter. This is one of the earliest odyssey II synthesizers. This is truly rare. As-far-as collectable synthesizers go this is one of the big ones. It was produced in a time when ARP was changing the design of the odyssey rapidly. It is an early enough MKII model to have the 4035 filter but late enough to have factory CV jacks. I believe there to be only a few made in this configuration.

Odyssey 2810 mkii A-II B-I and C-I with 4035 filter module

The condition on this synthesizer is very good. It has a few minor cosmetic blemishes as is normal on a vintage insturment. Great vintage instrument ready for any serious collection.

This item has undergone a recent full restoration. This is an amazing example of how good a vintage odyssey can be when given the proper service treatment. This synthesizer scales and plays beautifully and is a really strong runner. It was given the full service treatment including: cleaning and rebuilding all sliders, the keyboard has been cleaned and re-bushed, the vintage power supply was rebuilt to original specification using the vintage PCB and Transformer. Some of the capacitors that are known to fail have been replaced along with a couple other preventive maintenance tasks. This keyboard is a masterpiece. Also, the LFO free run option was added to the noise select switch. When that switch is up (on white noise) the lfo will not retrigger with every key press. This nondestructive modification can be reversed. I'm happy to answer any and all questions about the service this odyssey has received.

The filter module is all original. It sounds great. Lots of character with that classic liquid transistor ladder filtered sound.

This item is warrantied. All work on this odyssey is covered for one year from date of purchase. This warranty doesn't cover work done by anyone else or any shipping cost to return the synthesizer for warranty service."
