"The PS-3300 is a megalithic semi-modular two piece synthesizer system from Korg. It was one of the first truly polyphonic analog synthesizers from the mid '70's! Beautiful wood panels, plenty of knobs and patch-points and a bold Korg sound! The system follows the PS-3100 model.

The PS-3300 is like having 3 stacked PS-3100s with a built-in mixer module. The PS-3300 loves the number 48 - 48 voice polyphony, 48 VCOs, 48 VCFs and 48 VCAs! That would make this one of the largest and fattest compact synthesizer systems around! Each note on the keyboard has microtonal tunings. There's also a general envelope generator and sample and hold. In addition to a great Korg sound, it features incredible modulation abilities and is still a very useful and coveted synth even today."

Circadian Rhythms

Circadian Rhythms from Joseph Fraioli on Vimeo.

"a patch focused around the tiptop audio circadian rhythms (CR) as the heart of the system that provides the main clock source and triggers for events.

the programming was done on all 8 channels of the CR in 2x32 mode. fills are set to 16th note. mutes, fills and additional programming are performed on the fly.

patch basics:

CR ch 1: main kick
sound source is the blue lantern BDv4 going through the modcan frequency shifter.

CR ch 2: snare
sound source is the make noise mysteryon who’s pitch is being modulated by the mod can quad lfo who’s synced to the CR main clock output. the output was split into a separate VCA who’s being opened by the sound machines light plane and sent to the mungo d0 with macro machines storage strip. the storage strip is being sequenced by the CR main clock output.

CR ch 3: closed hat
sound source here is the SSF quantum rainbow blue noise.

CR ch 4: open hat
sound source is the SSF quantum rainbow white noise though the intellijel µfold and then a bit of delay from the synth tech e580.

CR ch 5: glass percussion as well as delayed bass and end melodic thing
glass percussion sound source is the noise engineering BI. pitch modulation from the tiptop z8000. delayed bass is an intellijel dixie square run through the cwejman res-4 and.end melodic thing is the harvestman piston honda MKII.

CR ch 6: chord bursts
this is the intellijel/cylonix shapeshifter in sequence mode then run thorough the qu-bit electronic RT60 reverb.

CR ch 7: tonal accents
sound source is braids in meta mode. also being sequenced by the CR and pith modulated by the tiptop z8000.

CR ch 8: sub kick
sound source is the tiptop audio BD808.

acidy bass: trigger source for the acidy bass is the intellijel metropolis that is synced to the CR via the clock output. sound source is the intellijel rubicon thats being FMed by a DIXIE sine, then put through the cwejman MMF1 in low pass.

tonal drones: trigger source here is the divided output of the intellijel metropolis into two make noise pressure points that have been micro tonally tuned. the sound sources here are synth tech e350 and make noise DPO that share a common mutable instruments peaks ADSR. the sounds are then processed through the serge resonant equalizer and tiptop audio zdsp with halls of valhalla reverb card.

hi plucked melody in mid section: this is the qu bit nebulae playing back a sample of mutable instruments braids in PLUK mode playing a melody sequenced on metropolis then fed to the mungo d0. the nebulae is then processed through flame FX6 reverb.


no computers or external hardware were used in this performance :)"

the finger

the finger from ::vtol:: on Vimeo.

"Performance for touch and sound.

Sonohaptic (by Jakub Koźniewski) is a machine that links tactile sensations with sound by moving the robotic head equipped with piezo sensor along the arm of the person, picking up tiny vibrations translating them to audio. One-finger (by ::vtol::) is a wireless controller allows to produce sound by using just one finger equipped with various sensors. The two combined allow to control the sonohaptic movements with movement of the finger of the performer - who touches another person trough a machine thus producing „sonohaptical' experience.

Pyramid offers one algorithmic euclidean sequencer engine per track, auto generating uncommon and rich rhythmic patterns.

Change the number of total steps, the number of filled steps, the step width, rotate the pattern, all of this on the fly. The displayed euclidean circle helps you to visualize the pattern."

"Polyrhythms!

Pyramid is fully polyrhythmic. This means that you can set different and unusual time signatures on each track, to create shifted-beat sequences. Polyrhythmic constructions will bring new flavours to your productions.

You can set a track with a 4/4 standard signature, and for the other tracks 5/4, 6/8, 15/8... The direct access button enables you to change the left and right numbers without limitation. It's an incredible and easy way to add complexity to your songs!

To go further in experimentation, add or remove steps to your measure to create polymetric tracks and irrational rhythms."

Pittsburgh Modular Announces New FLTR Eurorack Module

"The Fltr is a voltage controlled, analog, state variable filter. A distilled version of our classic Filter module offers the same warm and gummy sounds in half the space. The Fltr utilizes the same core circuitry as our Filter module so the sound is identical. The state variable topology was chosen because it allowed us to produce a very smooth and natural sounding filter, in addition to offering several filter states, each with a unique sound and energy all their own.


The Sound Remains
The Fltr offers a warm, organic sweep through the full frequency range. The lowpass filter is gummy and relaxed while the highpass is clean and defined. The goal was to produce a filter that does not have a single sweet spot. We worked to make every turn of a knob offer something musically engaging.


Filter Responses
Multiple filter responses are available simultaneously including lowpass, highpass, and bandpass."

Korg SQ-1 sequencer & MS-20mini - first impressions.

Published on Feb 5, 2015 DJjondent

"The Korg SQ-1 sequencer just arrived in the mail today. So I thought I'd post this quick video. Its unedited.

I like it on first impressions. Small, but quite solid .. with the same grey metal finish as the SQ-10.
The SQ-1 is running just on batteries in this video.

And it syncs (midi clock) well with the Volca Beats ....as you'd expect.
The SQ-1 is sequencing the MS-20 the old fashioned way with just CV / trigger. (no midi)."

Analog Ordnance Drone Machine MKII Eurorack Module - LDR MOD

Published on Feb 5, 2015 blaman2012

"Replacing the pots with LDRs in the drone machine mkii diy kit"

This is the first Drone Machine MKII post. The MK1 was featured here.

Some info on the original from Analog Ordnance

"Completed drone machine eurorack module
first run - limited 5 copies of the handpainted version

8HP - 35MM depth
Runs on +12V/GND
40mA max draw (15mA typical) -16 pin power terminal
Max output 4.5VDC

The Drone Machine is a drone voice consisting of three tunable square-wave oscillators and a internal ring modulator mixing the oscillators together.
Many different textures and drones can be created - phasing, rhythmic and high frequency radio style sounds are also available at different knob settings.
Running the unit through various effects also opens up a lot of sonic capabilities.

The modules output is not AC coupled so you are free to use it as a modulation source also. a volume control is provided to trim the output level to desired strength."
