BloNoise



"The Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer has a function where you can randomly generate patches with it. Most of them are inaudible, but I played "noise FX lottery" for a good while, and recorded the best synth patches it made. I definitely think it's pretty rich and interesting sounding, and it's worth a listen, if you're in to that sort of thing."

Waldorf Nave VST Synthesizer - First track (Intro Tune Style) only Nave sounds


Published on May 15, 2015 Lowpass24

"Waldorf Nave VST PC Version Synthesizer

This is my first track with only Nave synthesizer sounds, excluded the drums.

The track is short and is more like a Intro Tune for a Demo, like in the good old Amiga days. I was part of a Demo scene group and we had a lot of fun in those days.

Arp Avatar Guitar Synthesizer w/ pickup SN 0081

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

via this auction

via the seller: "This is a great sounding Arp Avatar Guitar Synthesizer, with the same circuitry as the famous Arp Odyssey. I've only used this as a CV module controlled from Moogs or Lyricons, and it works and sounds fantastic. Today I tested it using the Keith McMillen QuNexus portable keyboard and that works perfectly too. Some sliders are a little bit tight, and one (Special Effect/Ring Mod) has been replaced with a metal slider, but they all function well (with the occasional little wiper noise). In very good physical condition with some scratches.

Includes the Analogue Solutions Modular Kit (jacks, wires, schematics) to turn the Avatar into a semi-modular semi-2600 synthesizer.

Also includes the original pickup but missing the pickup extension cable. Includes the 6 pin din plug to make the extension cable. Guitar input has never been tested. Includes 9 of the original slider caps."

Cwejman VCO-2RM

via this auction

"Two identic very warm and phat oscillators which recalls the Oberheim Xpander and Minimoog Voyager (with filter fully open). The internal pre-patched frequency modulation is also very nice, just turn the control and enjoy the brilliant sound without patching.

The circuit is identical to the first VCO of the Cwejman S1 so you can use the module as an LFO, too. Additionally there´s a pre-patched hi-quality ring modulator which you can also use with externals signals of course. Each VCO has a positive and inverted output which provides only one waveform at the same time but 7 different waveforms are available, three of which (!) feature pulse width modulation. Penko´s tipp: Set both VCOs to pulse or mixed-pulse and make only the 2nd VCO audible. Then slowly turn up the FM-Level control on VCO2 and play with the PWM controls... that´s fun. Depending on the setting of frequencies or intervals very expressive sounds can occur. This new version now features switchable internal pitch-CV connection via the buss. Generally all Cwejman modules are shielded from interferences and contain lots of calibration possibilities on the backside, see picture."

Speak & Read & Talko by Deladriere


Uploaded on May 14, 2015 Ninstrument.com

via Ninstrument

"Finally had a chance to match these guys up head to head in a little jam and I have to say I think Deladriere's Talko wins on all fronts. Easy to manipulate, easy to reprogram (within reason) and the big upside is there is no harming any existing Speak & *'s! The Speak & Read says 'here' and 'level' only throughout this entire demo. Everything else is the Talko!!

AniModule system patch "Dual Filter Sample & Hold"


Published on May 15, 2015 SGE

http://www.animodule.com

"I wanted to make a patch using just the SOB filters as the sound source. The filters are cross-modulating each other while also modulating a ShNoiZe Sample & Hold which in return is modulating the filters. The audio is sent into a MengQiMusic DPLPG before output. The vactrols in the filters keep the patch "alive" and self-generating for a while and eventually the patch will just 'die' on it's own and stop producing audio. Reverb effect is from a Roland RE-20."

Wake The Dead Soundpack (Week 29) with "Mini Untz" DIY Wood MIDI Controller


Published on May 14, 2015 KM Productions

3D printed wood DIY MIDI controller "Mini Untz" is based on the Arduino Leonardo and Adafruit Trellis.

"Let's take a few bold samples from a TV show, mix them with synth that sounds like it was pulled from an 8-bit Nintendo Video game and add some filthy bass with mechanical drums to round it out and that gives you this soundpack! It sets a dark tone, while giving you that possible 80’s/Retro vibe.

While it appears to only be 16 pads, do not be deceived; many have multiple samples, variations, and even change or loop depending on how long you hold them for. So go grab a MIDI controller and get ready to kill some pixelated zombies with this bass!" - Kyle

Oberheim DMX vintage drum machine with MIDI

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

via the seller: "I recently had Paul White "electrongate" do a restoration and servicing which included replacing two cards with his new reproductions and install midi, check over everything and it has a clean bill of health(wasn't cheap) but most dmx need a TON of work. Most DMX being sold on ebay have bad buttons, weird glitches and battery issues so even if you get one for $700-800 it's gonna either not have midi or need a bunch of repairs and these are really hard to use without midi. This one is studio ready for your next project! Use the multiple outs with effects along with it's super funky sequencer to get that true 80's sound which is still relevant today and can't be replicated in software."

via the seller: "At the risk of sounding like a used car salesman, this Jupiter-8 is the equivalent of a car owned by a little old lady and only driven on Sundays. Ok, we've all heard these stories, but the truth is, I bought this Jupiter brand new in the 80's used it on a few gigs and in my home studio, then it went into storage. It has been recently serviced (new battery, etc.) and is fully working. I took the original anvil case back to the factory where they did an absolutely brilliant job of replacing the cases' foam lining and removing stencils. As you'll see from the photos, this Jupiter and its case are in near-mint condition. This is one of THE great synths of all time and you will not find a better example."

CMOS Noise Percussion (CB's DIY Modular Synthesizer)


Published on May 15, 2015 Chris Beckstrom

"Early this morning I built a new module: a CMOS-based metallic noise generator. Inspired by this awesome Hackaday post by Elliot Williams:
http://hackaday.com/2015/04/10/logic-...

A series of 6 40106 square wave oscillators get mashed up with each other through a 4070 quad XOR, and what comes out sounds metallic and noisy and great! I don't really understand what the XOR is doing, but it sounds a lot like ring modulation.

From what I gather this is similar to the analog cymbals on the famous TR-808 drum machine. It even uses the same chip for the oscillators! Who knew you could build it yourself for about $2?

I tweaked the circuit a bit: Instead of a pot for each oscillator, 3 pots control 3 oscillators, 3 oscillators have a fixed frequency, and I added an external input to add additional cacophony (with a switch to go back to 3 oscillators). Soon after installing the module in my synth I realized a running a melodic sequence into that input makes it sound like pitched metallic drums. Cool! Depending on 3 knobs that control the oscillators it can sound like a single tone, cowbell, toms, noise, cymbals, and even dialup-style sounds.

Here is a quick iPhone (and iPhone mic) video of the module in action. I'm running the noise through a low pass gate that is controlled by audio clicks coming out of my computer– a super lo-fi synchronization, but it works. The bass drum and snare are TR-808 samples playing in Ableton Live, everything else is my new CMOS Noise module. This could go great with a bass drum and snare drum module.. Guess I better get back to soldering.

Thanks Elliot Williams @ Hackaday!! What a great circuit."

PSB - Love Comes Quickly, live acid remake


Published on May 15, 2015 Tony Horgan

"My live instrumental version of the Pet Shop Boys' "Love Comes Quickly".
Download the audio from Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/tony-horgan/ps...
Tech details... The Roland TR-8 is the master, which starts, stops and syncs the Korg Volca Keys and two Cyclone Analogic TT-303 Bass Bot units (TB-303 clones). The Korg Volca Bass is playing the chord sequence. To get the Volca Bass to play a long enough sequence, it's synced manually, with its tempo set to 30bpm (a quarter of the track's tempo of 120bpm).

I'm playing everything with one hand and recording via a camcorder in the other.

All the patterns were programmed directly into the onboard sequencers of each unit. The second Bass Bot is going through a Danelectro FAB Distortion pedal.

I'm not exactly using "best pratice" with the fader levels here (fading up on the devices instead of fading up on the mixer), but it works for me when I don't have much time.

It was mixed and recorded on the Tascam DP-24, using its internal compression and delay effects. I could have done another mixdown and improved the sound (because it records each track dry and lets you adjust the levels and effects after the performance) but I haven't had time. It sounds good enough to me for now!"
