New Analogue Solutions Polygene Poly MIDI Converter Eurorack Module Teaser


Published on Nov 15, 2016 rezfilter

http://www.analoguesolutions.com

"Polygene is a eurorack polyphonic MIDI to CV converter – 4 voice output that can be used to play your CV synths / modules as a 4 voice polysynth.

Why Do I need this MODULE? What’s So Special?

Simple to use, it’s the perfect way to have MIDI control over 4 CV synths, to play together as one poly synth.

Connect to 4 mono synths, e.g. Analogue Solutions Nyborg
Or, connect to Eurorack modules set up as 4 synth voices.

The Arpeggiator has no nonsense operation harking back to the days of early Roland synths such as the Jupiter 8 and SH101.

The Arpeggiator can also be used as a simple 16 note step sequencer. The arpeggiator also plays back the velocity amount that was used.

The Arpeggiator will control CV synths, but the note info is also sent to the MIDI Out socket as MIDI notes, so you can have it play a MIDI synth."

"Beautiful looking and sounding vintage ARP Odyssey Mk II 2813 in mint condition. Check the close up pics and see how great looking this synth is. An Odyssey in this condition is hard to find.

It's been thoroughly serviced and restored by a professional tech who has worked on numerous vintage synths. His work included replacement of all rear panel jacks, all electrolytic capacitors, various failing components, a few trim pots, and rebuilding of two sliders. He added a free-running LFO switch on the back panel and performed a recalibration of the synth. Immediately prior to the servicing, I replaced all key bushings and thoroughly cleaned and relubed the sliders. This service was performed around 4 years ago.

This synth sounds fantastic and all functions work exactly as they should. It's like stepping back in time. This synth doesn't feel like it's 40 years old. It seems more like a year or two old.

In spite of all the love and attention this synth has received, there are a couple of sliders that are scratchy on occasion. The scratchiness is only by feel. It doesn't affect the audio."

Rossum Evolution Filter vs Moog Sub Phatty - A comparison by WMD


Published on Nov 15, 2016 William Mathewson

"In this video, Alex conducts a comparison of the two ladder filters, which when filtering a single saw wave sounds almost identical until it comes to the Q compensation and "species" knobs that are unique to the Evolution.

Alex is a huge fan of the classic Moog sound and was looking to integrate a similar voice into his live performance rig which includes a WMD/SSF Monolith Case. He brought in his Sub Phatty for a fun, semi-clinical comparison and decided to make quick a video so he could share the results with you.

Love Moog bass but want even more phatness with some resonant filtering? This might be the one for you :)

Both synths are recorded directly into the Tascam DR40's external inputs."

Syncing Akai Tomcat with Korg Volcas and Monotribe, analog synth and drum machine jam Bass Keys FM


Published on Nov 15, 2016 Expanding Sound

"The Akai Tomcat is an analog drum machine with 5 different manipulative drum voices. I think it sounds great, and sites like Musicians Friend run 99 dollar deals on them from time to time. For an analog drum machine with pulse sync and midi input/output thats a heck of a deal.

This was a fun jam to make, with the intention of testing how well the Akai machine would play with my other favorite cost efficient analog boxes, the Korg Volcas. Happy to report not many issues, though you want to make sure you don't use a Monotribe or Volca Bass as your master unit. They don't have Tempo Note Value on their front ends, so you want to make sure you set your tempo value with a separate unit to keep those two from playing double time. The Tomcat Proved to be a great starting point, and made me realize with its midi output as well you can use it as a great brain for a lot of different types of jams.

The unit appears to be working reasonably well, all the keys and sliders and buttons worked fine when I tested. However I noticed some of the keys have unstable pitch which could do with some servicing/adjustment as there is also a slight scratch noise on a few of the knobs when controlling. The speaker is sounding fine..."

Polymoog and Prodigy Jam (by Synthpro)


Published on Nov 15, 2016 synthpro

"Hey Guys,

This was a video I made several months ago while moving, its rough with poor quality but figured I would share. I was testing out a Moog prodigy I had restored and came up with quite a nice little jam session.

What you are hearing is the Polymoog being used as the master controller over the Prodigy using Moog's Open Interface setup. The polymoog was quite a powerful Mono based CV controller and allows for keyboard split and other really nice features.

Thanks for watching and support!

Jareth"
