"Architecture and features
Oscillators and Sound Generators

Each of the 12 voices has 2 Oscillators. Each Oscillator has sawtooth, triangle and square/pulse waves, mixable in variable proportions.

In Oscillator 1, each waveform can be modified: saw's "spread" parameter adds a second detuned sawtooth, triangle "wrap" progressively clips the waveform adding inharmonic content, and pulse wave has variable pulse width; PWM is also available, and the modulation source can be chosen from LFO1, LFO2 or OSC ENV. Oscillator 2 can frequency-modulate (FM) Oscillator 1.

In Oscillator 2, saw and triangle waveforms cannot be modified/ modulated: only the pulse wave can be varied; PWM is also available. Unlike OSC1, the second oscillator provides fine detune and coarse detune +-24 steps, and keyboard tracking may be disengaged. Oscillator 2 can be synced to Oscillator 1.

An Oscillator Common section is provided to balance the mix of OSC1 and OSC2, the ring modulator and the noise generator.

Multimode Dual Filter

The OB•12 has two VCF, each one being a 12db (2 pole) filter.
For each filter, mode can be chosen between high-pass, low pass, band-pass and off.
Filters routing can be parallel, split or serial, the latter resulting in a 24db (4 pole) filter.
Cutoff, resonance, modulators and keyboard tracking affect both VCFs.

The Delta parameter, available in parallel and split mode, change the cutoff frequency of the second filter; by using bandpass mode for both filters and by widening their cutoff frequencies, two formants peak may be formed, creating vocal-like timbres.

Besides the OB•12, 1983's OSC OSCar synthesizer is the only synth having this facility; in the OSCar this function is called "separation" and has a dedicated knob in the filter section, unlike the OB•12, whose Delta parameter is inside filter's edit menu.

Theseus - Digital Modular System by Bendan Byrne


Published on Jun 2, 2015 Brendan Byrne

More information on the Theseus Digital Modular System can be found at...
http://cargocollective.com/theseus/Ab...

"Theseus is a platform for designing modular electronics instruments for musical and visual composition. Building on the Eurorack analog synthesizer standard, the platform uses ⅛” patch cables to interconnect modules. However, unlike the Eurorack standard, Theseus is entirely digital and produces MIDI/OSC control messages rather than audio signals. This simplification in fidelity greatly reduces the cost of materials and complexity of electronic circuits, making patch cable compositional systems more accessible to artists and musicians. A collection of 14 modules was designed to demonstrate the potential of such a platform. These modules highlight what designs become possible when material expenses drop and prototyping time is shortened."

Playlist:

1. Maht Dvdr - Unlike the other modules that produce simple sequences or steady patterns, Maht Dvdr possesses the ability to create elaborate and evolving compositions through an automated routing system.

The module is driven by a master clock. With each trigger signal it receives an onboard software counter increases by one. At the same time sixteen frequencies, each a division of the current counter value, run in the background. These channels are accessed and routed to each output using three inputs. The first input receives a voltage that determines which of the ten output positions to select. The second input determines what divided frequency to assign to that output. Lastly, a latch input locks the selected divided frequency to the selected output channel.

2. Mandalatron - The Mandalatron is a four channel ten step sequencer. Each channel possesses the same values set by the ten central rotary controllers, but with isolated clocks and sequence lengths. When the clock input of a channel is triggered, the sequence will advance by one step and reset to the first step at the point designated by the sequence length controller. This arrangement and iteration of channels allows for complex rhythms to be created easily. It was designed with pitch output in mind, but these voltages can be used to modulate other variables such as note length and velocity to great effect.

Graphic design was roughly inspired by mandala patterns to highlight the overlapping and symmetrical effects of the module’s functionality.

Suitcase modular fun


Published on Jun 2, 2015 ISOTROPOSPHERE

"This is the lower half of my first suitcase eurorack build, the upper half (not seen) contains the Technosaurus small wonders series synths. My second suitcase modular is used here supporting the first case but is not shown. It is the yellow Pelican cased modular shown in other videos of mine. I did some moving around of some modules in all of my modular cabinets and decided to have a little fun.

Used here are: Din Sync Drum Dokta 2 and a square wave output from the Drum Dokta Breakout module from the Dokta number one. This square wave is passing through a delptronics ring modular and finally through a early kit version of the Synthrotek Eko before going to the submix by Low Gain electronics (Best mixer in eurorack).
Delptronics little drummer boy is getting it's wood block and closed hi-hat triggered by a spock and output to the submix.
The Rebel Stoichia is sending a trigger to a Doepfer ADSR and VCA combo to gate the DDB square wave before it goes to the ringmod.
Make Noise phonogene is being lightly scrolled through by a cv from a Tame knob controller. The scrolling through of a section of a vocal sample looped to a very short section of the sample at high speed and the pitch is also very high make it sound like a vocal formant.
The Radio Music module is providing a section of a recording of strange sounds from the 1950's, this is the creepy low noise grumble in the video.
Synthrotek Nand module is passing through a Blue Lantern Diode filter in LPF mode and is the drone I sweep through the filter on at one point in the video.
Flame tame machine is providing the multed clock source to all modules which need it here. Beginning of the video shows me turning off the 4 bar loop of the clock and setting a new one.
Turning machine and expanders (orange version) are doing some clock division duties for the Spock inputs here.

Had some fun with the built in effects on the camera in the video while rockin' out, hope you like it. Small reverb effect on the whole mix at the main Alesis mixer (12fxd) for my studio.

Headphones recommended, comments, suggestions welcome.

ENJOY!!!"

"My first play with the Analog Keys ( and lots of other things) which I swapped my DSI Pro2 for when it developed a fault. The Pro2 was very nice but had some rather basic sequencer omissions that I could not get on with. The Analog keys has a more polished performance sequencer if you are prepared to read the manual enough times... Also features my new Boomstar 4075. ( big intro notes). All sequenced using the AK as master clock in an improvised composition recorded in a stereo mix from my old Mackie lm3204 to Cubase and then added thee overdubs. Rendering to video seems to have added more audible noise...

Serge Patch: RING MOD & 2X PVCO INTO VCFS


Published on Jun 2, 2015 djangosfire

"This is what 2x Precision VCO's into Ring Mod, through the Variable Slope VCF (LPF out) can sound like.

The random sequence was created by the Smooth Stepped Generator using 2x DUSG (top and bottom of a single module) for clock and CV source. Using attenuation (via Scaling Buffers & Active Processor) I was able to have the SSG also mildly modify the clock speed of the DUSG.

Mono out for this patch..... through a Strymon Blue Sky Reverb.

Better audio this time :) I really wanted to share just how beautiful the Serge Ring Modulator and PVCO Sine Waves can sound... just amazing, and 100% real ANALOG!

Cheers! - Djangosfire"

Zero-G Releases Haunted Ground Sample Library


Zero-G: Haunted Ground from Adam Pietruszko on Vimeo.

50% off until tomorrow, June 3rd!
Get it here: http://www.zero-g.co.uk/store/haunted-ground-p536.php

"BRAND NEW RELEASE! HAUNTED GROUND - Ambience & FX from Abandoned Places, by Adam Pietruszko.

Introductory offer until Wednesday 3rd June - 50% OFF.

Haunted Ground is an avant-garde sound library inspired by the unique character of abandoned places. The structures that man left to crumble as time ticks away, now brought to life in this collection of samples. Created by sound designer Adam Pietruszko specializing in visual and aural documentation of forsaken buildings, to provide you with the atmosphere and spirit of these forbidden locations. This library took a year to plan, prepare and record. Carefully choosing locations as recording sites and inspiration was taken from countless photographs, schematics and abandoned structure history resources.

The mood of abandoned factories, warehouses and installations has been recreated via means of analog and digital synthesis, along with the sounds captured on-site via field recording, to bring you closer to the exploration, all properly mangled and warped, for that particular eerie feeling.

The sounds of this library give insight into the afterlife of these seemingly dead and quiet buildings. For beneath the rubble, rust and peeling paint, there lies another dimension. The ghosts of workers and inhabitants roam the rooms, halls, corridors and attics, longing for the life that had been taken away from their homes. The machines, furnaces and tools remember their duties, but their shift is over. Delve in the echoes of the past and explore their legacy and hidden nature.

This library is aimed at cinematic and game sound producers, looking to bring a touch of reflection, suspense and nostalgia into their works. Also a contemporary electronic musician will find many inspiring sounds to exploit.

All sounds have been captured in 24-bit, 48kHz audio and are split into 4 categories, for easy construction of your own custom abandoned places sound scenes.

Haunted Ground Demo 1 - Condemned Hospital (mp3)
Haunted Ground Demo 2 - Factory Drones (mp3)
Haunted Ground Demo 3 - Haunted Prison(mp3)
Haunted Ground Demo 4 - Old Cottage (mp3)

The categories and gear used in the recordings are as follows:

Entities and Spirits – eerie sounds of ghosts and lost souls, for that haunted feeling. You'll find chants, drones and atmospheres as well as numerous sweeps and whines. Most of these sounds were created using a semi-modular analog synth setup (Moog Little Phatty Tribute Edition Serial No. 1165 with CV Out Mod, a collection of Moog Moogerfooger analog effects + WMD Geiger Counter digital wave-shaping distortion unit).

via this auction

"Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrassi Organ from the days when Peter Blasser was making each instrument by hand and in very small numbers. The larger barres create an EXTREMELY sensitive and expressive experience. Tap gently for percussion noises, longer presses for very articulate control over organ sounds ranging from sublime to chaotic.

Each of the seven tone generators is individually tuned and controlled, while master tuning and chaos knobs set the overall structure. Three inputs and three outputs (barre pressure, FM & chaos) for each voice are presented as brass screws for alligator-clip programming of the instrument and are also very responsive to simple touch via skin capacitance.

This rare and wonderful instrument is in excellent condition, functions perfectly and includes a power supply. I'm really going to miss this one - the new owner is a lucky person indeed and will certainly be blown away by this unique and incredible synthesizer. It's truly a work of art."

Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus

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

via this auction

"Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus from the days when Peter Blasser was still building his incredible instruments completely by hand, as much works of art as they are capable instruments.

This gorgeous unit is from the final production in the "brass screws" era and more than any other C-L instrument, the Cocoquantus makes it clear why Peter took this approach: the screws are extremely sensitive to the touch via skin capacitance, and connections can be established and the instrument programmed simply by tapping or touching a few screws at once. Wonderfully responsive leading to hours of sonic exploration with this unique and incredibly powerful device.

Two looping delay units (made of all discrete parts) provide the ability to capture, repitch, stretch, compress and otherwise time-mangle your audio (three inputs are provided to each delay, an XLR microphone with preamp, line level, and synth level)..... Assignable-curve Dolby filters give the ability to cut or mute either delay line via voltage or input control. Functions to flip/skip and reverse audio are all available as patch points, as is overall speed of each delay.

Sitting between the two delay lines is the quantussy oscillator device. Five interactive oscillators (with modulation inputs and multi-waveform outputs) modulate each other in ways that can be reordered and controlled in real time, and overall speed and chaos is available from two master control knobs. This quantussy device provides the coco-pilot with numerous interesting voltage patterns, perfect for modulating the delay and audio parameters of the delay lines.

Used this way the Cocoquantus provides an incredibly unique and powerful way to interact with your audio - it can reorder, re-shape, re-contextualize, it can mangle beyond all recognition. It can find voices and patterns in your inputs that would have remained undiscovered.

It's a mistake to think of the Cocoquantus as simply a fancy pair of audio loopers. It's better to think of this an an instrument that is controlled by incoming and sampled audio.

This one is hard to part with. It's beautiful and a joy to interact with, and a wonderful piece of art from the early days of Ciat-Lonbarse. It is in nearly mint condition, fully functional and includes a power supply. You will love it."

Bleep Labs Introduces The Delaydelus Sampler and Delay Instrument


Uploaded on May 31, 2015 Bleep Labs

Limited edition available now for pre-order.
Orders will close July 2nd.


via Bleep Labs

"The Delaydelus is a sampler with a built in delay.

Each pin is a sample. The buttons are used to trigger whatever pin is connected to that buttons pin.
For example if the first pin, P1, is connected with the alligator clip wire to pin “A”, the A button on the left will play that sample.
If P1 is connected to P2 and A1 then the A button will play both samples at the same time.

Up to four samples can be triggered at once.

Pitch is adjusted with the knob on the left. When it’s at 12 o’clock the sample pays back at normal speed. As you go counter-clockwise from there the playback will go slower until it starts going in reverse.
Turning the knob clockwise from the center will increase the playback rate.

It’s powered by a 9v battery that’s inserted from the side.
The audio input and output are 1/8″ mono.
– Eight samples designed by Daedelus
– Over a minute of total sample memory
– Beautifully crunchy 12bit, 30kHz audio
– One second delay
– Combine four samples at a time with the unique patch bay
– Through mode to use the delay with an external source
– Sample audio or use it to trigger or modulate
– Optional USB adapter allows you you control the device with MIDI as well as reprogram it
– More info and videos in the user guide

Delay
The internal delay is controlled with two knobs.
The middle knob controls how long the delay is, from just a few microseconds at full clockwise to about a second at full counter-clockwise.
The feedback amount is controlled by the right knob. When the knob is all the way counter-clockwise the delay is off. As you turn clockwise the feedback increases. At 3 o’clock the feedback is infinite. Past that it’s amplified and starts to go crazy.

Oval - The First Digital HandPan Now on Kickstarter


Published on Jun 1, 2015 Oval Sound

"Oval is a percussion platform which allow you to play music / Learn music / Perform music."

Back in June of last year we saw the first peek of Oval, a new electronic instrument by Ovalsound based on the HandPan. Ovalsound has written in to let us know they are now on Kickstarter. Click through for full details on the campaign. The following are some details on instrument and Ovalsound:

"Inspired by the HandPans family of acoustic instruments, the Oval provides total freedom to create sounds and it's a tool geared towards music learning and performing.

There are more ways of enjoying music besides listening. You are never too old or too young to experience the awesome feeling of playing an instrument and creating music. We believe that learning music should be fun and that you can play an instrument right away. The Oval speeds up your music learning curve, leveraging the power of technology, gaming and sharing with others.

Ovalsound was founded in 2014 by Ravid Goldschmidt and Alex Posada in Barcelona (Spain), to provide everyone with the opportunity to find a way to express themselves musically, pushing the boundaries of traditional music to new ways of interaction.

Most traditional instruments are linear, think of a guitar, a flute or a violin. The handpan is meant to be performed in circles. The interface doesn't have a beginning or an end, so you can join musical notes together in a fluid way. The notes have a radial position and are equidistant from the Ding, the central note that sets the tone of the scale. No matter how you play, you are able to perform beautiful melodies every time.

The Oval takes the design, ergonomics and musical qualities of the handpans as an inspiration to create an electronic instrument that can be as simple for a beginner to start exploring music as a means of expression, and as complex as a professional musician wants to make it, as it allows to change sounds and scales, layer samples, real time looping and go wherever the imagination takes you.

SPECS:
* The Oval is ergonomically designed and can be played in many ways. Highly sensitive, intuitive, easy , durable and (children-proof) resistant!
* The external case is made of Solid Surface composed by natural materials --minerals like bauxite, marble and quartz--, natural resins and acrylic.
* Carefully designed, the Oval is light, portable, durable, minimal, simple and energetically self-sufficient.
* Easy as a backpack, you can get an additional case beautifully made of wood to take it comfortably anywhere you want and never leaving your Oval at home.
* Designed, engineered and made with care in Barcelona.

WITH OVAL : PLAY, LEARN, SHARE, CREATE: IT IS ALL IN YOUR HANDS"
