Synthesizers.com Introduces New Q148 VCA++ 5U Module

via Synthesizers.com

"The Q148 VCA++ combines a normal VCA, a left-right panner, a clipping monitor, a tuner, and a headphone amplifier all in a single-space module. The Q148 VCA++ makes a great final output module for studio or live work.

The VCA section operates like the Q108 VCA with both manual and voltage control. When patching in a control voltage, the VCA knob becomes an attenuator for the control voltage and essentially becomes your volume control.

The panning section gives you manual or voltage control of where the sound goes - left and/or right. Patch in an LFO to bounce the sound back and forth, or use an envelope to move the sound from one side to another for each note.

The tuning section provides an A (440hz) or C (523hz) standard for setting oscillators. It's super convenient and you might even find creative uses for it within your playing. The center position is off.

An LED indicates when the signal is getting close to the natural clipping level of the internal circuits to prevent distortion and help you set proper levels for the best signal-to-noise ratio.

The Q148 has a built-in stereo headphone amplifier with a volume control. As with any headphone amplifier, always start at the zero setting and slowly increase the volume to a safe level.

"The JsQ-60's "stop" button doesn't work..but I know what the problem is. I was cleaning it out and blasted some air in the whole and the little blue plunger thing blew out and into the carpet never to bee seen again. So it just needs that tiny blue rubber part (good luck). With that said, I use a start stop footswitch (not included) and it works perfectly that way...which if you've ever used one you know a footswitch is the only real way to start and stop a sequence on time."

Expressive E Touche Controller With QuNexus and Shared System


Published on Jun 16, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"In this video, we experiment with integrating the Expressive E Touche into the modular paradigm via the Make Noise Black and Gold Shared System with Morphagene.

In the first patch, the Touche acts as a source for articulation (as in its ancestor, the ondes Martenot) and pitch information. The Keith McMillen QuNexus provides pitch information to the DPO while the Touche provides secondary "pitch bend" info. The Touche also controls the DPO's Fold and Optomix's level controls for timbre and articulation control. Finally, the Touche also controls the Echophon's mix, allowing the dynamic addition of pseudo-harmonies to the DPO's raw timbre. With the right pitch source, the Touche becomes an excellent articulator for both dynamics and timbre.

In the second patch, the Touche provides four control voltages to the Morphagene and Erbe Verb. The Morphagene has previously been loaded with sounds from within the Shared System itself. The Touche controls the Erbe Verb's Size, Decay, and built in modulation source as well as the Morphagene's Morph, Slide, and Gene Size controls. The end result is a glitchy, prickly, and nuanced soundscape brought to life by the Touche."

http://expandingsound.com/product/cru...

The Crumar Stratus is a lesser known vintage synth, but make no mistake, it sounds beautiful. The Stratus is built with CEM chips which are found in many of the popular synths of yesterday and today. It has two parts, a slide organ section, and a 6 voice synthesizer. Both sections can be blended together to make some really unique tones.

One of my favorite things about vintage synthesizers is their quirkiness, and the Stratus is no exception. One mod control on the keyboard is alternate saw/square, which means every note you hit alternates between sawtooth and square waveforms. The octave modulation is also really fun, it adds an octave jump to the rate of the LFO section. You can make some really crazy sounds. And when you add the organ synth section into the regular synth section, it gets huge. The Stratus has tons of modulation, tons of warmth, and all sorts of vintage vibe for you to get lost in."

Sequential Circuits Six-Trak Analog Synthesizer
This unit came to me with original box & manual,
on the box it says "Prophet 610" -SUPER COOL!
This Six-Trak is in really good looking & working
shape, in this demo I tweak some Pads, Strings,
Bass & FX. There is only some Simple Groove
Delay added from Ableton in this audio recording.
A nice pair to have the Six-Trak & a Split-Eight at
the same time, it's like a Sequential / Dave Smith
family reunion here adding the DSI Evolver to the
studio hardware setup. I love the Six-Trak, it can
do some wicked UNISON as demonstrated in the
opening sound! Worth it if you can find one in
good working shape, these will only get harder
to find as the years go by! Get one NOW!!"

Yamaha CS80 - flute/bass & performance...


Published on Jun 16, 2017 noddyspuncture

"On this one I am only using the Flute & Bass presets... and then varying the 'control' parameters, oscillator mix & footages to show the variation instantly available on the CS80. I'm not really doing anything exotic - even my playing is rather basic..! Now, some folk argue that the "computer simulations" and these newly emerging hardware "clone units" are every bit as good as the real thing...!? So I would really like them to put their plug-in/clone where their mouth is - and demonstrate it in a similar fashion to what I've done here. Go on, one of you - take up the challenge... you know you want to...!? ;-)"

Technosaurus Microcon II Analog Synthesizer

via this auction

"Super rare, incredible little synth in great condition. Big beefy sounds. Includes power adapter.

Very flexible sounds. Can also be used as a MIDI-CV converter!

The Microcon is a modern-day little analog monophonic synthesizer module emulating the simple design and sound of classic Roland TB-303 and SH-101 synths. They are made by Technosaurus, a Swiss company best known for their high-end Selector modular synths. It is handmade using the same discrete circuits found in its bigger brothers.

The Microcon is a totally analog table-top synth module that's slightly smaller than the original TB-303. It has one main oscillator capable of either sawtooth or square waveforms, just like the TB-303. The addition of a sub-oscillator is more like SH-101, which can help beef up your bass sounds. The analog lowpass filter is switchable as either 2-pole (12dB/oct) or 4-pole (24dB/oct), which is better than the TB-303 or SH-101 offered. The LFO can modulate the filter cutoff frequency with either triangle or square wave and the VCO can be modulated by square or triangle waves. Simple attack and decay envelope controls and a Glide effect round out this fairly simple to use and highly affordable 303 clone. The Microcon only uses CV and Gate for being controlled externally.

The Microcon II adds MIDI, making this cool little mono-synth available to the masses! The Microcon II has all of the features of the original, but adds MIDI IN for performance and control of parameters such as accent, cutoff frequency and glide. Also new are a filter input to process external signal sources, CV/Gate outputs added, and the Microcon II can be used as a midi to CV converter for other CV/GATE gear."
