The Anatomy of a Drone - Patch of The week
Published on Aug 6, 2015 Doug Lynner
I believe the Triple Wave Shaper wave folding video Doug refers to at the beginning is this one.
"How to patch a four voice drone for maximum texture and timbre!
Though this is illustrated on a Serge the concepts apply to many modular synthesizers. Let me know how you apply this on your modular synthesizer.
To see the modules used in this patch in detail see the Mystery Serge at http://www.serge.synth.net/gallery/dl....

tELHARMONIC Harmonic Algorithm
Published on Aug 6, 2015 MAKEN0ISE
"For the Harmonic Algorithm, H-OUT, each of the three voices is a 24-partial harmonic oscillator, using
high-resolution sine wave generators. The timbre is varied by the CENTROID and FLUX parameters, with CENTROID
setting the loudest of the 24 harmonics, and FLUX setting the steepness of the gain roll-off around that center
harmonic. When FLUX is full CCW (0% modulation) the spectrum is flat and sweeping the CENTROID will ripple the
spectrum (like a string harmonic). When FLUX is increased, the harmonics surrounding the CENTROID decrease in
amplitude and the sound becomes more focused upon the center harmonic, which causes modulation of the
CENTROID to have a more dramatic effect.
When FLUX is not set to 0%, a trigger or gate in the H-LOCK input, or a press of the H-LOCK button, will cause the
partial that is currently selected by the CENTROID parameter to be locked ON at full amplitude even after
CENTROID changes. By sequencing CENTROID and Locking harmonics, many additive timbres can be found. Press
and hold the H-LOCK button for 1 second, or set Flux to 0% via panel control or CV, to clear all locked harmonics.
This parameter affects all three voices of the H-OUT, but does not affect the P or N OUTs."

Link Fixed for Richard Devine's BossFYTE - Think About It Remix Post
FYI, the links to Richard Devine's latest release in this post have been fixed (you can go straight to the release here). I grabbed the link from SoundCloud and forgot that SoundCloud sometimes has a nasty habit of truncating links, so when you right click and copy, you are actually grabbing a broken link. You have to click through the link and then grab it from the destination once loaded. Bad SoundCloud! Apologies to everyone for forgetting this. The link has been fixed and Richard get's a second post.
Uncertain [Live Modular]
Uncertain [Live Modular] from Icaro Ferre on Vimeo.
"This is my first attempt on capturing a live performance focused on feelings and emotions rather than technical details. While I really enjoy the technical side of music, sometimes it's nice to go back to the basic concepts of what music is and what it's really all about.
The entire piece was composed and performed using just my modular synthesizer (a 12U Eurorack system).
Recorded on August 6th, 2015."

"Here is a vintage Serge panel filled with great modules. It is just a panel so it doesn't include a power supply (you'd have to integrate this with another Serge system or get a power supply for it). Works and sounds amazing! Includes: New Timbral Oscillator (unique!), Dual Universal Slope Generator, Ring Modulator, Wave Multipliers (awesome unique module), Mixer, Variable Q Filter (killer), Universal Audio Processor, Extended ADSR Sold as is with no returns so please no what you're buying. This is a silver panel from the original Serge days which is harder to come by! Note that the panel below it is not included in this auction and is an experiment with misc additional modules I've had from different Serge systems..."

"This is a very rare Sequential Circuits Model 700 Programmer designed to work in tandem with synths like Arp 2600s, Minimoogs (with CV) and other analog synths that didn't have the ability to store patches to have some of that capability. It includes a lot of great on board features. This particular unit still has the box and was barely used making it very close to new for such a vintage piece from the late 70s! Here's more info: RARE SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS 700 SYNTHESIZER MEMORY / PROGRAMMER This vintage analog synth programmer was designed and developed by Dave Smith, founder of Sequential Circuits back in the later part of the 1970's. This particular unit was used on a Mini-Moog to assist in live performances and offered extremely swift and accurate recalls of analog synthesizer parameters. Overall, I'd say that this unit ranks a 7 out of 10 due to some of the lettering has worn off the front panel, there's a few light scratches, and there is a small amount tape residue on the top of the real panel [see photos]. Unfortunately I was unable to test it but was working fine and trouble-free when it put in storage - a bedroom closet - about 10 or so years ago so I can not say if it's working or not [However, When last used, it offered smooth, easy and trouble-free operation]. The unit powers up and the red LED display is strong & bright and the unit steps through the bank & program numbers like it's supposed to. It has the original, knobs, pots, switches and lighted push-buttons - All in working condition with a nice, rugged feel. Serial number is which I believe indicates that this unit was one of the first ever produced of the 700 series. I have recently been told that only 25 of these units were made so here's your chance to own a piece of Sequential Circuits early history. Below is a brief description and info I found on-line

Blue EML 200 Modular Analog Synth
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Here is a very rare vintage analog modular synth from EML called the EML 200 Modular System. From the makers of the Electrocomp comes a more flexible unique sounding synth! The condition is very good with some minor chips in the paint that are barely noticeable from a distance. It's a beautiful blue synth! Very few were made and even fewer were blue (most were silver/plain). Note this is not 1/volt per octave but EML's own scaling and it does not include a keyboard so it's more for processing and special effects (unless you can find an EML keyboard or some other trick with a CV to midi converter and scaling)."

New MFB Tanzmaus Analogue Drumcomputer in the Works
It looks like MFB has a new drum machine in the works.
Spotted on sequencer.de:
"Tanzmaus (dancing mouse) is a 4-7 instrument drum machine quite like the Xbase09 was – so this is a smaller version of the Tanzbär Drummachine (dancing bear) which is bigger than a mouse.
4 instruments on top – the bottom rights may be something for the hihats.. so it’s 5/6 instruments – at the bottom I found 7 “things” so – I assume it will be a 7 instrument drum machine with step input."
Doepfer Announces Black & Yellow A-124SE Special Edition Wasp Filter Module
via PatchPierre.Net
"Quite unexpected, Doepfer announced a black A-124 Wasp filter with yellow knobs today.
This module comes as a limited edition and will be available through your local dealers. (order no. A-124SE)
Great marketing-idea by Doepfer IMO, especially to promote the recently announced colored knobs. All kinds of color-schemes are possible now..."
This could be an interesting new direction for Doepfer who is known for their almost clinical grey modules. It would be fun to see a system filled with different themed modules. On the practical side it would make finding modules in a complex system much easier. Imagine finding filter types based on their original color schemes.

"New ambient jam on the Electribe 2. Having some work done in my water damaged house, haven't had much time to make music lately. Needed to make something beautiful after listening to 5 half-fridge-sized dehumidifiers and 9 power fans have been droning on for the past few days."
Thought this one was really nice. Creating moods with individual synths.

via the seller: "This synth is in overall good condition for its age with a few known issues but plays and sounds great. I love the action of the keyboard and, for such a simple synth, it's capable of some amazing sounds...
Known issues:
Some of the coloured knob caps are missing (see photo).
The filter cutoff knob can be slightly crackly and probably needs a clean with some contact cleanser (I've still been using it happily as it's not that bad).
The octave switch knob is a little loose and sometimes slides past the markings. When it does that I just slide it back - it still works fine even when switching octaves mid-performance. The pot probably just needs to be tightened up.
For me, none of the above issues have prevented me having fun with this synth - it's to be expected for a synth that was produced between 1978 - 1982!
Polyphony Monophonic
Oscillators One DCO (sawtooth, square, pulse-width modulation); 4-octave range (32', 16', 8', 4'); white and pink noise generators
LFO 1 Filter LFO plus Vibrato
Filter 1 Low-pass filter, 12dB/octave, with ADSR

the magnetic bug never stops talking
Published on Aug 6, 2015 pianoloft
Great mood kicks in after :50.
"a lot of oscillators are interacting at the magnetic bug, which is built by folktek ( http://folktek.com/instruments/Insect... ). there are magnetic points to change the connections of the oscillators and some knobs to manipulate the unique and not really predictable soundresults. sometimes a delay (echopark by line 6) is added, and later on a casio sa-46 starts, run through a pitch shifting effect of the roland sp-404sx and the EHX memory man."
