Moog Sub 37 - Funky Sounds Demo by Mike Pensini

Published on Sep 5, 2014

"Hey guys, here's a demo of the funkier side of the Moog Sub 37 synth. There were a lot of requests to showcase some more old-school, smoother, funk and fusion sounds so I put this together.

I recorded this directly into a Focusrite Saffire Pro40 with no effects/compression or other instruments so you can hear the true sound of the synth."

Genome MIDI Sequencer V2 for iPad Adds Instrument Rack - New Drum Machine Demo

Genome Ver 2 Drum Machine Published on Mar 31, 2015 ipadloops

iTunes: Genome MIDI Sequencer - White Noise Audio Software

"I spent four minutes with Genome version 2.

Genome is a powerful pattern based MIDI sequencer for the iPad. With GMS you can control all of your MIDI gear and apps* – sequence single patterns or an entire 16 track song.

It is great for people looking to try an alternate studio setup, searching for a compact sequencer to bring to band practice or those who just want to find a way to ditch the bulky laptop.

GMS easily syncs your drum machines and arpeggiators by sending and receiving MIDI clock messages. General MIDI files can be exported and imported for integration with desktop apps**.

Genome MIDI Sequencer is made for accessories like the Alesis ioDock, Line6 MIDI Mobilizer, the Yamaha i-MX1, the iRig MIDI and compatible MIDI devices using the Camera Connection Kit.

Genome also works great for sequencing other iOS apps. Now you can program melodies and basslines for apps like NLog PRO or Sunrizer while keeping a beat synced with Modrum.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Though Genome now has a basic set of instruments, some MIDI gear or other music apps that support virtual midi connections are recommended for use with this app.

What’s New in Version 2.0.0
– New ‘longest pattern’ song mode
– New Instrument Rack with built in instruments and effects:

Genome Ver 2 Modules

(Radiant Synth, Drum Machine, Filter, Reverb, EQ, Xdelay, Phaser, Chorus, Distortion, Mixer, Scope)

– Audiobus
– Fixed hanging notes issue on pattern switch
– Dozens of internal fixes
– A Metronome
– Usability improvements to the pattern editor

Game of Thrones Theme on a Modular Synthesizer (@obrienmedia)

"The Game Of Thrones theme played on a modular synthesizer, with the melody played on my DSI Mopho analog synth below the modular.

No computers were used in this song, other than the pressing the space bar to play the Game of Thrones Season 5 trailer in the background.

This theme showcases the Kilpatrick Audio K4815 Pattern Generator, The Harvestman's Malgorithm for the bit crushing effect, and MakeNoise's Rene for the bass sequencing. I used Mutable Instruments' Yarns as a clock source.

The Crowminius Synthesizer - "Crow’s Mini for the Rest of Us"

via Adafruit

"Hey folks, Crow here. As I may have mentioned in the past my first hobby is electronic music synthesizer design. While a fair amount of my spare time these past two years involves the crOwBX project [featured here], I did manage to work out the design for a new instrument. The two main driving forces behind this project were wanting to make a replacement machine in the style of a Minimoog 204D ('model D') for my good friend Doug Ferguson, who lost his circa 1974 original Mini to hurricane Katrina, and I wanted to create a machine that would fit in the compact aluminum attache case as used with Dan Alich’s awesome Duinokit. Thus was the Crowminius synthesizer born. (Doug calls it 'Crow’s Mini for the rest of us.') The schematic capture and board layout took about 10 days, with 1,457 airwires to sort through for the approximately 800 parts. (I do not use autorouting: autorouters suck.)"

Each track can handle up to four chained up effects. As all effects are real-time processed, the recorded events will not be affected but the sound will change on the fly. In this video only one track is used, in LIVE mode exclusively (CHORD sub-mode). Its effect section contains two arpeggiators, one humanizer and one randomizer.

0:10 keypad used to play simple notes, an external keyboard controler could be used instead of the integrated pads
0:14 octave is set down to access lower notes
0:15 use of the smartpads in chord mode
0:21 tonality changed from Cmaj to Cmin and back to Cmaj
...
0:34 first arpeggiator added
0:38 octave set to -1
0:59 exit from the first arpeggiator with the following settings:

style = up/down
gate = 200%
rate = 1/1 (slow)
octave = -2
...
1:03 harmonizer added and set with +5 and -4 to create chords from the first arpeggiator outputed notes.
...
1:24 second arpeggiator added, playing around and finally setting a very high rate

"WITH LIVE SCORE PERFORMED BY HANS ZIMMER AND ORCHESTRA
WORLD PREMIERE
ROYAL ALBERT HALL
30TH MARCH 2015

Royal Albert Hall London 30th March

On March 30th 2015, Orchid Media and Metropolis Music stage the biggest presentation of a Christopher Nolan movie ever created: Interstellar Live.

At the iconic Royal Albert Hall, Interstellar will be screened in full accompanied live by a 60-piece orchestra performing Hans Zimmer's original Oscar-nominated score. Described by Zimmer as his ‘most personal score’, this epic music is one of the most important film scores of recent years; at once exhilarating, spectacular, pulsating and deeply moving.

Prior to the screening, Interstellar executive producer and one of the world’s leading theoretical physicists, Kip Thorne, will make a rare appearance in the UK to talk about the science behind INTERSTELLAR, in conversation with director Christopher Nolan and composer Hans Zimmer, who will also give insights into the creation of the film. This is a unique opportunity to hear from a true science legend about bringing black holes, wormholes and time warps to the big screen."

New Circuit Abbey Vacvac: Vactrol based dual VCA for Eurorack

Vacvac Intro Published on Mar 30, 2015

"Introducing the Circuit Abbey Vacvac: Vactrol based dual VCA for Eurorack, in 4HP."

via Circuit Abbey where you'll find some audio demos.

"The Vacvac is a dual Vactrol based VCA for Eurorack..

The Vacvac uses 2 vactrols per channel to get 80+ dB of attenuation. The Vactrols
are trimmed to ensure channel and gain matching, so no channel to channel
variation or unit to unit differences. The CV drive circuit is jumper selectable 5 or
10 volts, and the modules unity gain at the max voltage. Also our drive is biased
so EGs that have an offset will not open the VCA when they are supposed to be
closed.

This is a very musical VCA. It sounds great, and makes really nice drum sounds.
Also its soft on/off characteristics means it make a great mute. Use it to switch
between 2 different sounds.

This 4HP module has a maximum 60mA current draw. Module depth is 49mm."

Octave Voyetra-8 Synthesizer Rev. 4 w/ VPK-5 Controller Keyboard (NOS)

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

via this auction

Located in Cincinnati, this one is listed on MATRIXSYNTH CLASSIFIEDS as well. Pick your poison.

Details and new pics from the eBay listing:

" I am selling a Voyetra-8, one of, if not the best polyphonic analog synthesizer out there. The V8 combines two CEM3340 oscillators (each with a sub-oscillator) and a SSM 2044 filter per voice with a huge amount of modulation abilities. The end result is a wonderful sounding synth that can easily go from subtle to HUGE. This particular unit is a green card rev. 4 machine, which is the final and most stable version of the Voyetra. It can accept MIDI sysex and can be controlled by external software and programmers. It was also just gone over by Peter Lanziolata, a former Octave-Voyetra tech, and THE best V8 tech on the planet. He went over this machine meticulously updating parts (including replacing the power supply) and resoldering connections where needed. The synth now plays and works exactly as it should.

Included in the auction is a new old stock VPK-5 controller keyboard. This was purchased recently from Carmine Bonanno, the former head of Octave and is totally unused. You can either use this controller or midi to control the Voyetra (but not at the same time).

Also included are the necessary XLR > MIDI cables, the original manual, and other documentation. You are literally getting the "complete" package for the Voyetra.

Because this is a vintage piece of electronic equipment (and a sensitive one at that), there are some thing to mention.

The machine is currently fully calibrated, but trimmers inside the unit (for the voice card volumes and filters) may shift during shipping. If this happens, it's straight forward to re-calibrate them as long as you are able to turn a knob and use a tuner.

Voyetras were always somewhat temperamental in terms of autotuning. The machine autotunes exactly as it should; however, like any vintage analog synth it needs time to warm up and will sometimes require a few autotunes for all voice cards to pass. This is normal, and just requires hitting the autotune button a few more times. As it is, it is stable enough that it usually turns on with almost all voices already in tune.

All Voyetras are very sensitive to ground loops and this can create unwanted noise in the audio signal. This can usually be solved by switching to a filtered power supply, or simply a different wall socket (as in my case).
Finally, because of the vintage nature of this machine, it is absolutely, 100% sold as-is. I guarantee only that the machine will turn on and there will be no returns UNLESS the machine does not turn on at all. Saying that, I do no expect there to be any issues upon arrival beyond possibly needing to recalibrate the voice volumes and filters (if even that). Please ask any questions bidding."

MFB Tanzbar Analog Drum Machine / Synth

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

via this auction

"This is a fantastic drum machine, the best sounding one I've ever had. It's generally out of stock in the US. This one was obtained from Schneiders Laden in Germany. It shows no signs of wear/scratches and it's been used only in my smoke-free studio. I'm selling everything and this is the last one to go since I love it so much. It retails at $1,200. It came with a German power supply but I will include the US adapter.

Info:

mfb's tanzbãr drum-computer offers fourteen analogue percussion instruments as well as a synthesizer for bass- and melodic voices. its integrated step-sequencer allows flashlight-programming and storage of up to 144 patterns. all parameters can be recorded per step! because of its ability to control and call up all functions on the fly, while the unit is running, tanzbãr is ideally suited for live performances.

using the fill-function, patterns can be chained for longer sequences. in addition, every pattern offers a/b variations that can be switched manually or automatically for further flexibility. also, tanzbãr allows saving 16 flame and roll-variations.

the step-length is controllable per instrument, allowing easy creation of polyrhythmic structures. possible resolutions are 32th and 16th steps as well as 16th- and 8th triplet-steps. the shuffle amount can be continuously controlled globally and per instrument.

each instrument offers three accent intensities. add the bend-function to create glides and lfo-like sweeps for bass drum 1/2, snare drum and toms 2/3.

in addition to the percussion-instruments, tanzbãr offers addressing external instruments using its two cv/gate outputs; one being able to control dynamics via a third cv-output. the same tracks are routed to the internal bass- and melody-synthesizer voices. an ideal solution to pre-listen and program patterns without any need for external equipment.

the cv/gate-sequencer offers a range of three octaves and is programmable using two methods. all parameters are output via midi, allowing control of external instruments. the drum-computer can be synchronized via midi- and clock-signals.

finally, tanzbãr not only offers a master volume knob but individual level controls and mute-functions per instrument. the unit provides a stereo output as well as twelve individual outputs.

Red Roland SH-101 Synthesizer SN 362021 with Mod Grip & Original Power Adapter

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

via this auction

"This is the very rare red version of the Roland SH-101. It has a manufacture date of 1-13-1983. Fully functional. Since I live near Asheville, NC I was able to get it checked out by an engineer at Moog. He cleaned, checked all functions and calibrated it. He replaced the portamento pot, the bender lever and the ac input jack during the checkup. Cosmetically I give this synthesizer a "good" rating. There are dings and scuffs here and there (see pics) as can be expected from a 30+ year old keyboard. There are some imperfections on the outside of the bottom plate (see pics) but the inside has been refinished . The MGS-1 modulation grip and the original Roland ac adapter as pictured are included. I will also provide the Owner's manual and the Service manual PDFs on CD. The batteries are not included."

"For sale is a very lightly used Elysian Drum Scape synthesizer / Sound Generator, designed and built by Arius Blaze (Folktek). It is really a one of a kind piece of sound art that has a wide range of unique sonic possibilities. It has (4) oscillators, (5) 1/8" cv jacks, control knobs for delay and each of the oscillators, (4) brass keys to trigger the oscillators, (3) switches to change delay mode and (3) switches to change drum mode. Housed in a very nice looking oak casing. Runs off a standard 9V power supply which is included. Everything works great and it is good cosmetic condition. Asking $500, which is less than half of what I paid for it a few years ago. These are custom made and are not readily available. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks for looking Here's some info from Folktek: The Elysian is capable of everything the other drum scapes are - with exactly the same oscillators and delay, but Voltage Control (1/8" CV) has been added to integrate into other analog systems/cv sequencers. Control over the oscillators as well as the delay time. The boxes are oak, 1/4" output jack, 5x 1/8" cv jacks, control over delay time (from extremely notated tight to about 1.5 seconds with near infinite repeat for loops), control over each of the oscillators with custom brass keys for each, 2 custom lamps glow warm white, custom switches for delay time and drum mode (3 modes). standard features: 5 keys (plays 4 osc) 5 trigger jacks (1/4") output 2 lamps osc. controls + volume delay controls = feedback mix time drum mode switch, delay time switch. Check out Folktek's website for sound samples, video and more info: folktek dot com... or search YouTube for 'Simian Drum Scape' to see a similar model in action"

Jen SX1000 Vintage Analogue Monophonic Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"Beautiful vintage 1978 Italian monophonic syntehsizer. Good condition, had it serviced a couple of years ago.

Usual issues with vintage synths pots can get a little scratchy if it isn't used for a while but that clears up by twisting the knobs a few times.

The Synthetone SX-1000 is an old Italian basic mono-synth. It has a single analog DCO with three waveforms: sawtooth, square, and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). There is an analog filter (12dB/octave) with cutoff, resonance, and LFO modulation.Two ADSR Envelopes one for Amp the other for Filter. In addition there are also white/pink noise generators a glide effect and a vibrato effect. It's known for fairly stable tuning too."

Roland SH-32 SN ZP63451 with Original Box

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

via this auction

"Despite the plain-and-simple layout of the front panel, there's a surprising amount of capability crammed into this little thing. Take a look at the number of functions stacked on each button and you'll get an idea of how deep you can dive with a bit of patience and the manual handy. You're not just getting a nice wobbly analogue-modelling synth - it also does a pretty mean 606 and 808 drum machine impression, has a pattern sequencer and one of the most effective arpeggiators I've worked with. The effects are a bit pants (I love the bitcrusher though!), but run it through some external pedals or whatever and you can get some very angry noises out of it."
