"My bad week long head cold helped to produce this somewhat randomly noodled and edited video of the excellent Moog Sub Phatty synth and Strymon DIG delay pedal. No other synths or effects pedals used. It may take a Devin Townsend fan to appreciate the last half due to the heave saturation and distortion! ;-) Speaking of Devin Townsend here is one of my favorite songs by him: https://youtu.be/B00jJ9NSVfc"

Selfmade Synthesizer by Kurt Diedrich

Published on Jan 10, 2016 Kris Deux

"Selfmade Sythesizer planed, build and played by Kurt Diedrich"

29 knobs. If anyone speaks German, let us know know what he says about the synth. I'm curious what the circuits are based on.

Update: some info from strogon42: "Kurt says in the video that it's modelled after a Minimoog with discrete circuits (no special ICs), but he mentions only one oscillator specifically (but later you hear a second one), a filter (ladder presumably), vca and two envelopes, which are ADSR not ADS. The oscillators have switchable waveforms, octave selectors and frequency (LFO or third oscillator?) and pulsewidth modulation. There's also portamento. There isn't much information in the video."

Update2: and some info via Kurt Diedrich in the comments: "The snthesizer has two identical oscillators indeed and in addition an extra LFO. The envelope is ADSR for VCA and VCF and the filter has 24 dB/octave, realized by OTAs.

New Mode Machines OMF-1 Rack Mountable Analogue Filter

Published on Jan 10, 2016 acidjack303

"A four pole true analogue filter based on the famous transistor ladder filter developed by Moog in the 60´s.
Built in Wide range Pre-amplifier suitable for most audio sources.
Side Chain Input.
CV and Gate inputs to control the Filter Cut Off and Envelope from your Modular/Analog gear.
Self Oscillation if desired."

"The Mode Machines OMF-1 contains:

A four pole true analogue filter. This is based on the famous transistor ladder filter developed by Dr Bob Moog in the 1960s. A front panel pot controls the filter cut-off frequency, another controls the resonance. The resonance control is configured not to cause volume drop when turned up. The filter can be made to oscillate if required.
Two filter outputs are available. One is the Fizz output. This is a type of -6dB/octave filter and it gives a unique filtering effect with a real bite. The other is the Smooth output. This is a classic -24dB/octave filter, and gives a smooth warm analogue filter sound. Each filter output goes via its own reversible attenuator. This means not only can you adjust the output level, but also the phase of the output signal. This allows complex filter shapes to be made when the two outputs are mixed together in various degrees. This includes a very nice sounding band pass filter.

A wet/dry control allows the filtered audio to be mixed with the original signal. Not only is this useful in controlling the depth of the effect, but it can also create unusual phasing and vibrato type effects.
A wide range pre-amplifier is included. You can use the OMF-1 with virtually any input from guitars to synthesisers. A peak indicator will allow you to monitor overloads, although the OMF-1 is designed to overdrive beautifully.

An inbuilt low frequency oscillator with triangle and square waveforms. The frequency can be changed from 0.05Hz (one cycle in 20 seconds) to over 50Hz. A bi-colour LED gives visual indication of the speed of the LFO. Use the LFO to create auto wah and phaser type effects. The LFO can also be selected to trigger the envelope generator.
An ingenious dynamic envelope section that can move the filter cut off point up or down. It can be put into one of three modes at a flick of a switch:

FLR: It can function as a useful envelope follower, with controllable attack and decay times. Perfect for simulating many classic dynamic follower filter boxes. Play louder and hear the filter open up.
AD: It can be a standard attack-decay envelope generator. This is a type of one shot envelope, that rises and falls at the presence of an initial trigger signal. Useful for percussive type sounds.

AR: It can be a standard attack-release envelope generator. This is triggered either by the LFO, external gate signal or by an automatic audio trigger circuit with a variable threshold level. Powerful for creating rising crescendos.

The final output volume can be controlled with a level control. The output circuitry is configured to drive long length cables with ease and without ground loops.

A side chain input is available. This is a second audio input that can control the main input, but is not heard directly. Use this to trigger the envelope generator, or drive the envelope follower. A common use of this is to make the main audio program respond to a drum machine’s output for syncopated effects. Use a deep rich string patch as your main input, and listen to the drum machine automatically pulse the output to the beat. Awesome!
CV and gate inputs are available for connection to a modular synth or midi-CV convertor. The CV input will control the filter frequency, and the gate control will trigger the envelope generator if selected.

With a second OMF-1 a stereo unit may be built. The two channels can either be run independantly or linked together for true stereo processing."

Rephazer - Short Circuit Live Session #1 (Novation Circuit, Trance, Minimal, Electro, Acid, House)

Published on Jan 10, 2016 Rephazer

"Hi all ! I hope all of you had a great Christmas and NY.. I took some ' Youtube time' off, but I hope to bring you guys new music this year :)

Anyway, yesterday the mailman delivered this cool device at my doorstep so I immediately updated the firmware and used the Circuit editor to create some patches (preset phobia?) and made some raw tracks with it yesterday evening.

Nothing serious really.. So expect some mistakes as usual, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway :)

I think Novation made a really nice groove box with this Circuit and I hope there will be a way to change/replace the pcm samples of this device in the future !! That would really be amazing :)

Cheers !"

Hordijk Rungler part 1

Published on Jan 10, 2016 Todd Barton

"This begins a multi-part walk through of the Rob Hordijk Rungler. The most eloquent overview is by Rob himself here: [5th video here] I'm merely offering a free-flowing exploration of only two or three functions at per episode.
This module is the Swiss Army Knife of random/stable audio and CV outputs! This part focuses on Pulsed output both in the LFO and Audio ranges of A Sine Out and B Triangle Out. As you will see and hear just these two functions offer random and patterned pulses/triggers, quasi waveshaping, various forms of noise et al.

Streichfett string synth - first tests with Sequetron

Published on Jan 10, 2016 Phil Tipping

"New toy from Santa (aka Liz) so first dabbles with Waldorf streichfett string synthesizer driven by Sequetron with a Korg microKORG as a MIDI source. Streichfett can be configured to split strings & solo sections across 2 adjacent MIDI channels so Sequetron channel switching used to record/loop/play each section as reqd.
This is not an in-depth demo of streichfett, but very impressed with limited use so far - both sections can play chords so no note-stealing when sequencing. Simple but clever user interface - no menus :) - with morphing controls encouraging you to twiddle; sounds are richer and have more bass than expected. Headphones or good speakers recommended, although my YouTube playback doesn't do it justice for some reason - maybe my low-res download speed?
MicroKORG only used as a MIDI keyboard, so tried a simple ledge resting across it to hold the screen & streichfett. Not very ergonomic unless you leant over it, so made a sloping version for later shots.

In this video, Onoue plays his handmade ribbon controller.
It can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. It was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught."

Kawai K4r 16BIT DIGITAL SYNTHESIZER SN 317546

via this auction

"The K4 from Kawai can be thought of as a warm and fuzzy digital synthesizer. A sample-based digital synth, its sounds are those typically weird industrial type sounds that can still be useful in lo-fi, big-beat and trip hop music styles. The sounds are 16-bit preset PCM samples of acoustic instruments. However, unlike its predecessor the K1, the K4 adds a welcomed digital filter section. This truly makes the K4 more flexible, fun and useful for today's filter tweaking music effects!"

Casio VL Tone with Roland Tape Delay, EMX1, EPS 16+, Microbrute

Published on Jan 10, 2016 Earmonkey Music

"I found my VL Tone VL-1 yesterday. It might sound cheesy through that little speaker, but plug it in to some FX and it may raise your eyebrow. Also, you can program a sequence of up to 100 notes. That's what I did here. Then you hit the "One Note Play" buttons and it will play back your sequence one note at a time. The fun of this is that you can control the timing of each note. Vary it up, put in a sequence of whatever length you want, and it gets really cool."
