Analogue Solutions Ships New Nyborg-12 Analog Mono Synth

First announced back in November, the new Analogue Solutions Nyborg-12 is now available.

"Analogue Solutions ships space-saving real analogue monosynth module with SEM-style filter

KINGSWINFORD, UK: British ‘boutique’ analogue synthesiser and accessory designer/manufacturer Analogue Solutions is proud to announce availability of its all-new Nyborg-12 — an Oberheim SEM-style 2-Pole 12dB/Octave MULTIMODE FILTER-equipped standalone monophonic synthesiser module with real analogue voice and modulation circuitry — as of February 4...

An analogue renaissance has ensured that the one-time state-of-the-art sounds of analogue synthesisers have long since become highly sought after again. Why? Well, many musicians realised that the convoluted menu-driven access systems deployed on many ‘modern-day’ digital synthesisers with weaker sounds bathed in built-in effects are no substitute for the hands-on immediacy of having access to a control per function at hand when it comes to speedy sculpting of ear-opening and often powerful electronic sounds suited to a variety of musical genres. With more mainstream recording artists and producers than ever now relying on custom sounds as a result of this rising and renewed interest in analogue (subtractive) synthesis, is it any wonder, then, that yesteryear’s often wonderful-sounding (though not necessarily reliable) analogue classics are rapidly rising in value, pushing them out of reach of many musicians of more meagre means? Meeting this demand head on, more analogue synthesisers than ever before are available today from manufacturers both bigger and smaller. Into this healthy and highly-competitive climate comes Analogue Solutions’ latest analogue offering, the Nyborg-12 SEM synthesiser — so-called on account of its 2-Pole 12dB/Octave MULTIMODE FILTER, the same flexible filter with LP (lowpass), BP (bandpass), HP (high pass), and NOTCH settings that is used on Analogue Solutions’ own Telemark SEM semi-modular synthesiser, similar (though not identical) to Tom Oberheim’s original 1974-vintage SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module®), much sought after itself.

So what makes Nyborg-12 so special so that it stands out from the sound of the synth crowd? To put it bluntly, there are analogue synthesisers and then there are real analogue synthesisers. As Nyborg-12 proudly states on its rugged steel/aluminium casing for all to see (and hear): REAL ANALOGUE VOICE & MODULATION CIRCUITS

But what does that actually mean? Meaningfully, apart from its high-quality 16-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog Convertor) for MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) to CV (Control Voltage) conversion (which, by its very nature, has to be digital), Nyborg-12 is absolutely analogue through and through, hand built (by humans) using real transistors and op-amps. Unlike other so-called analogue synths you’ll find no CPU-stabilised and quantised circuits, DCOs (Digitally-Controlled Oscillators), digital LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators), or digital EGs (Envelope Generators) hiding here, thank you very much! Instead its circuitry is based on tried-and-tested, distinctive-sounding designs dating back to the mid-Seventies, so Nyborg-12 sounds suitably vintage in character. Cast aside those bland-sounding digital synths and DSP-based soft synths and dial in Nyborg-12 whenever fat basses, screaming leads, bleeps, zaps, and all manner of other sounds and effects associated with subtractive synthesis are the musical (and not-so-musical) order of the day (or night)!

Speaking of dials, Nyborg-12 boasts an abundance of high-quality, smooth potentiometers, fully sealed against dust intrusion, together with high-quality knobs with spun aluminium caps — all as appealing to look at as they are to turn! Two super-stable VCOs (Voltage-Controlled Oscillators) — each providing a whole host of options and MODULATION sources — are available to start turning the most adventurous analogue musical dreams into reality. Thereafter, Nyborg-12 continues to follow the traditional, well-trodden analogue synthesiser signal path with its distinctive-sounding 2-Pole 12dB/Octave MULTIMODE FILTER; AUDIO MIXER (VCO 1, VCO 2, NOISE/SUB); LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) with triangle and square wave modulation signals and MODE switch to route CV2 (velocity control voltage) or S+H (Sample and Hold) signals to that 2-Pole 12dB/Octave MULTIMODE FILTER or those VCOs; VCA (Voltage-Controlled Amplifier), controllable from EG2 or GATE with BYPASS option (allowing Nyborg-12 to be used as an external effects processor) and CYCLE setting (so the envelope is constantly re-triggered by the LFO, allowing for hands-off sound effects); and ENVELOPE 1 (VCF) and ENVELOPE 2 (VCA). As such, it should feel familiar to anyone with a modicum of subtractive synthesis skills... so much so, in fact, that reading of its accompanying user manual may only be necessary for finer operational detail: “Do not use a carwash or jet wash to clean this synth.” Surely as good advice as you’re going to get from anyone anywhere!

And speaking of communicating with the outside world, with an intentionally easy yet effective MIDI implementation — CUTOFF control of Nyborg-12’s all-important 2-Pole 12dB/Octave MULTIMODE FILTER is available via MIDI velocity or a MIDI controller — and external CV (Control Voltage) sockets for PITCH1 (VCO), PITCH2 (VCO), CUTOFF (filter), GATE (to trigger the EGs), and EXT (for feeding an external CV to various circuits), DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) integration or working with an analogue step sequencer (such as Analogue Solutions’ own Oberkorn) is a breeze. Better still, simultaneous MIDI and CV operation is possible, so users could, for example, use an Oberkorn to play a little melody then transpose that step sequence using a MIDI keyboard controller (or MIDI sequencer). Child’s play? Perhaps.

Note Nyborg-12 can be user configured in various ways to save space to suit. Shipping as a vertically-orientated standalone monosynth module (much like its bigger brother, the Telemark), it is possible to rotate Nyborg-12’s front panel so that it can be used horizontally as a desktop device. Optional wooden side panels can be screwed to a single Nyborg-12 (from its inside so no ugly screws are visible) or to two Nyborg-12s that have been bolted together. It is also possible to rack-mount two Nyborg-12s that have been bolted together using the optional matching rack ears. Either way, Nyborg-12’s modified software allows two Nyborg-12s to be poly-chained together to play as a single two-voice polysynth. Four-voice polyphony is also available upon request for those looking to really push the boat out and purchase four Nyborg-12s, though one Nyborg-12 is still a very versatile, super-sounding, space-saving standalone monosynth module in itself. One that will serve any adventurous analogue renaissance man, woman, or child well for many years to come.

Nyborg-12 is available to order online directly from Analogue Solutions (http://analoguesolutions.com/nyborg-12/) for £599.00 GBP (plus tax and delivery) or through an authorised dealer, as are its optional rack ears (£19.00 GBP, plus tax and delivery) and wooden side panels (£39.00 GBP, plus tax and delivery).

New Rhodes Chroma CC+ firmware 218 offers MIDI Syncable LFO/Sweep & Microtonal Tuning

You can find ull details on the update on the excellent Rhodes Chroma site here.

Some details for reference (see the full link above for the complete list)

Feature Additions (Summary)

MIDI Syncable LFO/Sweeps
Ability to assign arbitrary frequencies to each key of the keyboard (Microtonal Tuning)

Feature Additions (Detail)

MIDI Syncable LFO/Sweeps
Starting with this firmware release, initial support for sync’ing the Chroma's Sweep generators to MIDI is added.

The Sweep Clock Source can be chosen by going into the Configuration Interface [Set Split 36] and selecting parameter 28 [P28].

The user has two choices, as below:

int = Internal Clock (normal Chroma operation)
nIdi = MIDI Clock (external sync operation)
When ‘int’ is selected, the sweep rate is determined by Chroma Parameter #9 (as per normal).

When ‘nIdi’ is selected, the sweep rate is determined by the MIDI timing clock (MIDI realtime message 0xF8). In this mode, Chroma Parameter #9 no longer directly controls the rate; instead, it behaves as a MIDI clock multipler.

Further details are discussed in the CC+ user manual: see Syncing Sweeps/LFO to MIDI.

Microtonal Tuning
This firmware release provides the user the ability to arbitrarily assign frequencies to each of the 128 defined MIDI notes and will support the custom tuning from MIDI as well as the on-board keyboard.

This “Microtonal Key Map” support can be enabled/disabled by going into the Configuration Interface [Set Split 36] and selecting parameter 31 [P31].

The user has two choices:

Off = Standard key mapping used (normal Chroma operation)
On = User-Specific key map used (Microtonal tuning enabled)
When ‘On’ is selected, the frequencies for each ‘key’ are defined by an internal lookup table, 128 entries in size (one entry for each possible MIDI note). The table is initialized by the receipt of a MIDI Tuning Specification Bulk Tuning Dump message."

"I purchased this very special and unique version of the Juno 106 from Allen Coppock of The Synth Spa in the US. I then had the unit imported to me at quite some cost. This unit has been configured to accept 240 volts. It goes without saying that this is a very rare and beautiful machine and remains in stunning condition - a 30 year old synthesizer that looks new and looks particularly gorgeous in low light, with the lit up pitch-bender and blue LED's. This particular unit has had some of its capacitors replaced in addition to all of its transistors to bring the sound more in line with the Juno 60. The complete Blue Meanie upgrade encompassed the following upgrades and refinements, as explained by Allen Coppock:-

1. A full panel board restoration. (This solves bad buttons. corroded faders, edit light problems.)

2. Power board restoration. (This solves aging large electrolytic capacitors that are leaking)

3. New battery and removable battery chassis in the CPU board. (You can now replace the battery your self!)

4. Module board restoration - voice chips service. (Guaranteed not to fail, AND socketed for easy removal if need be.)

5. Juno 60 style transistors installed in the analogue signal path on the module board and Jack board.

6. Minor body work and a clear coat to protect the Juno 106 screen print for years to come.

7. Full calibration across the entire keyboard.

8. A special edition of Synth Spa Sounds for bank A & B, organized by type of sound.

9. Lighted bender, LED's and 2 digit screen changed to Blue.

10. A DSI style polyphony meter. When you play a key, the voice for that key depressed, lights up a corresponding LED in the poly meter. This can be very useful for a tech or for just watching the lights dance during a real cool sequence.

11. Beautifully cut and polished American Cherry wood side panels.

This synthesizer has remained in a smoke free studio since it was bought two years ago. Also included is a nice cream coloured cotton dust cover from Digital Deck Covers and a UK kettle-type mains lead. I will pack the unit extremely well in a large strong cardboard box with lots of foam packaging wrapped around the synthesizer. Although I do not wish to sell this synthesizer, it does seem daft to keep it now that I'll be buying a Jupiter 8."

Modified Moog Minimoog Model D Synthesizer + Flight Case

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

via this auction

"This is a great Minimoog Model D, and an excellent opportunity to get a vintage one at a good value, as it's been substantially modified. All the original functionality is completely intact, but it has some pretty fantastic extra features. The modifications include:

Ribbon Controller - Mounted in front of the keyboard, currently connected to the pitch wheel, with on/off switch
4th Oscillator - Square or triangle wave + frequency knob
Modulation on oscillators 2 and 3, with independent "on/off" switches for oscillators 1, 2 and 3
"Modulation Mix" control now blends oscillators 3 and 4
Separate modulation level knob for the noise source
I didn't do these mods and I don't know who did. The osc 3 + 4 modulation mods appear to be a DIY version of the common Rivera mod. I can't tell you much about how they were implemented; all I know is they sound musical and cool, they work well, and they greatly expand the sound palette of the original circuit. This Minimoog is in good functional condition, with the exception of some scratchy pots. The serial number is 5297 so it has the old oscillator board.

The keyboard holds its tune reasonably well; not the best I've used but certainly not the worst. Scaling is good and usable but not perfect. The bus bar seems clean and good, and all key contacts seem to work reliably. Cosmetically it looks pretty good, but it's definitely not in mint condition. As you can see, some of the finish on the wood panels has worn off, several of the chrome knob caps are missing, and there's a crack in the wood at the top of the control panel. Also note that the frame was cut below the keyboard to accommodate the ribbon controller, though it was done quite nicely and certainly doesn't impact the structural integrity of the keyboard. There is some other minor wear, so please look closely at the pictures; I've tried to be as thorough as possible. It will ship in the blue flight case shown in the pictures. Here are some closeup pictures of the control panel; all of the added controls are on the far left"

4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator vs. KOMA Elektronik Komplex Sequencer

Published on Feb 4, 2015 4mspedals

"In the aftermath of NAMM 2015, the KOMA Elektronik team came to Portland to hang out at the 4ms workspace. We decided to hook up our latest inventions, the 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator, and the KOMA Komplex Sequencer. The following jam ensued.

The CV out of Sequencer A of the Komplex is modulating the Quantized Scale Input of the SMR. The Gate Out of Sequencer B is triggering the Rotate Forward Function of the SMR. The Gate out of Sequencer C was mixed with feedback from the Filter Output using a 4ms SISM, to create the highly resonant plucking sounds. No additional effects or mastering was used, all audio was done in the modular, and recorded live.

Both 4ms SMR and KOMA Komplex Sequencer will be available in Spring 2015. Pre-orders for the Komplex Sequencer are currently open via support@koma-elektronik.com.

PATCH NOTES

Basis of the patch
Elements in the sound source with processing through Clouds. Modulation from the SSF URA (Ultra Random Analog) and manually wiggling of the ADDAC 207 Quantizer keyboard.

Details
Gate rhythm coming from Pamela's Workout from ALM Busy Circuits. This is also clocking a pair of Make Noise Pressure Points with the additional Brains module for sequencing.

The pitch comes from a single row of the Pressure Points and is attenuated in an RYO Ampmix before going to my ADDAC 207 Quantizer which is then "played" live with the keyboard layout buttons. You can see my playing this at the bottom of the screen.

I'm taking a single Elements output into Clouds left input for processing in the main Granular processing mode (they are 3 other processing modes, see my videos on this channel!). I manually move the blend settings (dry / wet, random grain panning, feedback and reverb) on Clouds throughout.

Modulation of Clouds comes from the SSF URA. With the first sample and hold output going into the playback position of the live audio buffer on Clouds (first cable I plug in). The second sample and hold then goes to grain size. I then use the random pulse output from the URA to freeze the audio buffer on Clouds at random intervals.

I play around with various settings on Elements throughout and the points where it really opens up for a big ambient reverb is freezing Clouds audio buffer then taking out the random pulse for freezing (as I don't want it to turn off) and then taking the 1v/oct quantised sequence from Elements into Clouds to play that audio buffer. This moves back to how it was (random pulses freezing on and off, sequence back to Elements and back again a second time).

I stop the clock source (Pamela's Workout) at the end and you can hear the feedback build up in the audio buffer on Clouds.

Any questions just fire away!"

"NAMM 2015: Radikal Technologies RT451 New dual multi-mode filter"

Roland JD-XA- NAMM 2015 - Press Conference - The Future of Roland

Published on Feb 4, 2015 Synthbug

"A few clips from Roland's press conference with some important points about Roland's new direction at NAMM 2015 concerning the JD-XA."

Note it's a crossover synth like the JD-Xi. Curious how many analog voices the JD-XA will have.

I think that's Keyboard Magazine's Stephen Fortner's voice in the background at 1:34.

Radikal Technologies Multimode Dualfilter RT 451 DanceElectro

"This little track demonstrates some of the sonic possibilties of the new Radikal Technologies RT451 Multimode Filter. I created some drum sounds with the RT451 and some modules of my doepfer modular system. I imported the samples into the Spectralis and created a couple of grooves. Then I programmed the step sequencer and triggered the Doepfer again but this time with two oscillators fed into the RT451.

Modules/Equipment in use:
Radikal RT451 Dual Multimode Filter
Spectralis 2 Drumgrid and Step Sequencer

Doepfer Modules:
2x A-140 Envelopes
1x A-138 Mixer
1x A-132-3 Dual VCA
2x A-110-2 VCO
1x A-118 Noise
1x A-147 VCLFO
1x A-180-1 Multiples
1x A-181 Multiples"
