"This OB-X is not functional. The tag says 4 voice, but it was at one point upgraded to six (see pics). The power supply does work, and when disconnected from the rest of the keyboard all of the voltage rails are present and regulating. Replacing the tantalum caps that sit on the voltage rails on 4 of the voice cards (and the supply) permitted those voice cards to power up, but it's obvious that something(s) on the main board are pulling the supply down. The main board has many RCA CMOS chips installed, which are notorious for failing, but cheap to replace. There are numerous failure prone tantalum caps on the main board as well. Many of the "tropical fish" style caps are cracked and would also need to be replaced. The keys could use new bushings to eliminate the clack when you release a key. This list of issues is merely what I've found for an hour or two of diagnosis, there are likely more issues beyond what is listed here."

New Doepfer Dark Energy III Coming to NAMM?


Update: details are in

To the left is what appears to be a new Doepfer Dark Energy III. Below are two images of the Dark Energy II (announced in December of 2012) for comparison. The only discernible difference I'm seeing on the front panel is in the bottom row of jacks.  On the Dark Energy II you can see three outputs, one for LFO1, one for Envelope, and one for Audio. On the new Dark Energy III a Reset LFO1 input, a Reset LFO2 input, and the Audio out. On the Dark Energy II there are four CV outputs and one Gate output on the back. The Dark Energy II panel matches the original.

Update via unknown in the comments: "The Dark Energy III has a different Waveform (Shape)..."

You can see the III has a triangle waveform on the bottom of the toggle switch, while the original has a ramp type wave. If anyone spots anything else feel free to leave a comment.  The Ext. Audio label changed to External Audio of course.

"Is the First VCA-CV controller + sequencer in the series, assuming a combination of a driftbox S / R synthesizer and an external device such as a sequencer. Two large joysticks control the CV output on the X axis with VCA on the Y axis. Although oscillator is not installed in driftbox J itself, by inputting audio and CV / GATE / MIDI signal from the outside, it is possible to change the level and pan without changing the audio signal groove, output the processed CV It is possible to manipulate parameters of other synthesizers.
It corresponds to synchronization by CV or MIDI as master / slave, and in manual / loop mode it can record movement of two joysticks in real time with built-in 16 step sequencer. You can also use the step mode to input stick motion for each step.

Also, real-time operation with programmed VCA and joystick can be output at the same time. By integrating programs and manual operations, sequence changes and expressions that do not predict live performance etc. are created. You can also combine multiple driftboxes J to create more complex and radical movements

Schtang & Aengus - Alluvium Part 1 (Ambient Jam) feat. Octatrack mkii, Sub37, E2, Microkorg, VKeys


Published on Jan 18, 2018 Schtang

Part 2 below.

"Schtang & Aengus return for another live studio hardware jam. Changed direction and worked this introspective ambient jam with some rainforest flavours. This is part 1 of 2 installments, with the second taking on a more percussive and driving feel.
This is a slightly developed studio jam and shows us experimenting with soundscapes before progressing it into a solid piece in the second installment. Still discovering our synergy together and working at using instruments and effects that complement our playing style and taste.

Studio Talk:
The Microkorg offers the central melodic pad and some intermittent bass sounds gluing the composition together. It is being processed by the TC Electronic M300 multi effects unit to give it some more space and eloquence in the mix.
The Elektron Octatrack MKII sets the mood with some rainforest soundscapes and acts as an effects unit for the Moog Sub37
The Moog Sub37 provides a surreal arp which intermingles with the other sounds and creates the rhythmic driving element.
The Electribe 2 is the central hub and acts as the midi clock while also sequencing and processing the Korg Volca Keys.
Everything runs back into the Mackie VLZ4 2404 and all mixing was done via the console"

Schtang & Aengus - Alluvium Part 2 (Percussive Jam) ft. Octatrack mkii, E2, TR08, Sub37, Microkorg)

Published on Jan 18, 2018 Schtang

"The second installment of Alluvium by Schtang and Aengus. Picking things up from the ambience of Part 1 and developing it into a more refined and rhythmic performance.

Very excited at our progress and we will continue to post our music whether it's well crafted or not. Keen to hear how you think of our progress!

Studio yarn:
The TR-08 is the driving percussive element of the tune with its signature kicks and hats driving the progression and mood.
The Korg Microkorg adds some warmth with wide, luscious pads.
The Electribe 2 provides some backup percussive elements and sequences and processes the dark tones from the Volca Keys.
The Octatrack sets the mood for the piece with some atmospheric percussion and forest ambience.
The Sub37 provides the panning growling bass patch which shuffles in and out of the piece."

Details on BugBrand's new Chirper Semi-Modular Mini Synth


You might remember the video of Chirper posted here. Full details are now in:

"Chirper is a semi-modular arrangement of two oscillators and one filter - a simple setup which belies the rich sonic surprises contained within. It is a direct continuation of Molnet, which itself was something of a reaction to my long-evolving Weevil works - after 10+ years I was feeling the call for new pastures and, while I enjoyed their deep electronic ecosystems, the lo-fi Weevil circuitry was never suitable for voltage-controlled work. The solution was to tweak ideas I'd been using in the SynthVoice, slightly simplifying some circuits to bring about an instrument with enticing layout and a fine balance of limitation vs. possibility.

Have a look at the Block Diagram above to see how Chirper is put together:

- the two Voltage-Controlled Oscillators are identical, with wide range (approx 0.15Hz to 100kHz) and sweepable from Triangle to Square.

- each oscillator has a Sync input along with Internal (from the other oscillator) and External (1V/Oct) Modulation controls. Things go nutty when the oscillators cross-modulate each other!

- the Voltage-Controlled Filter, with resonance up to self-oscillation and sweepable from Low-pass to High-pass, is fed audio from the 1st Oscillator (via Drive control) and is modulated by the 2nd Oscillator and/or an External (1V/Oct) source.

Of course, there is no internal VCA, so do be prepared for drones! [complimentary modules are in the pipeline] Note also that the 1V/Oct responses of the Oscillators and Filter are only quite accurate - fine for good tracking over a few octaves - and does not feature temperature compensation. Chirper was designed more as a surprise box than a well-pitched synth, but I saw it as a bonus to add simple 1V/Oct response.

4mm banana sockets are used for all I/O other than the Main Output which is 1/4" Mono Impedance Balanced. The Instruction Sheet has details of interfacing with banana cables.

Interface and/or banana cables are available.

Chirper is typically supplied in Standalone form as shown - enclosed in a custom aluminium case with PCB material front and side panels, dimensions approx 5.25" x 7.5" x 3.5", and with internal DCDC converter. Power - 12V DC 300mA supply, centre-positive, 2.1mm connector - worldwide 90-240VAC wall-wart provided with interchangeable mains plug adaptors.

Price: £320 (+VAT in EU -> £384) + Shipping

Chirper can also be supplied as a module to fit into larger BugBrand systems using Powered Frames - make contact direct.

The module draws approx 55mA per side.

Module Price: £280 + VAT + Shipping."

There is a lot going on. I use my Ardcore sketches 'Dirty Mirror' and 'Bit Beats' for modulation and audio. Dronebank oscillators go through the Eternal Spring and Hi_Gain, which are being modulated by the three chaos modules. The chaos modules themselves are modulated by the Ardcores and Telephone game and then there is the Tidal Wave too, acting as a liquiddy filter and the Wow and Flutter for Delay and ... well ... it's all just a big hot mess.

How To Add a THIRD Oscillator on the MiniBrute 2


Published on Jan 18, 2018 BoBeats

"The MiniBrute 2 and 2S sports two oscillators on the front panel but with the patchbay you can add a lot of different functions. In this tutorial I take a look at one way to add a third oscillator.

Thanks to DivKid for helping me out with this video. He called this a 'weird synced waveshaper' which might be more correct. :-D"

Using the 0-coast's slope as sub-oscillator + PO-Tonic jam


Published on Jan 18, 2018 Marc Nostromo

"This is a remix on the classic hard-sync patchtips on the 0-coast. The twist here is that rather than triggering the slope directly from the VCO's square output, it is routed through the tempo / clock with a 2 subdivision, turning effectively the slope oscillator into a sub-osc. The general balance is tuned by the balance. The timbre of the sub can be altered using the time factor and the math atenuverter. In the second part of the video additionally clocks a teenageengineering po32 from the midi input gate, adding semi-random accompaniment everytime a note is triggered"

Endorphin shuttle system. Backstage for "life is a trip contest".


Published on Jan 17, 2018 ะŸะตั‚ั€ ะขัƒั‚ะฐะตะฒ

Don't miss the funny story about customs below.

"Hello:)

I really appreciate that talented and lovely guys from https://endorphin.es/ choose me as one of five artist who will make tracks using awesome endorphin shuttle system for 'life is a trip contest' [posted here] ! So this is a small backstage video of the track recording process for the contest. Track in the background is not for contest but also made with powerful combination of furthrrrr generator terminal modules. As for my upcoming track I use shuttle system in every part of it for basslines, playing dirty lead sounds, making percussive patterns and noise textures. And what I would say about my "shuttle experience". I found that it is very deep and multi-functional instrument but at the same time it’s easy to start. It is standalone instrument but at the same time it’s fiendly to be integrated with other pieces of my stuff. My favourite things is experiments with furthrrr modulations, infinite possibilities of shuttle control module and punchy percussive possibilities of the system. I’m not playing live a lot, but in the studio shuttle system has a very plentiful sound.

Once again thank you endorphin team! Traditionally thank you Fedor Vetkalov, Jury Mo, Kirill for assisting during recording process, and Natalie who gives me a lot of energy and inspiration. And I say hello to other artist of the 'life is a trip contest' and all endorphin pilots!:)

P.S. There was funny moment when I received box with shuttle system in the customs. Customs officer ask me for declaration to bring any letters and manual describing system and translated it via google translator (because they do not rely and believe to declarants translations). So the letter starts with «CONGRATULATIONS! You are one of the 5 chosen artists to be a part of this wonderful experience spreading modular love all over our beautiful planet». I would say that in Russian it’s sounds really strange. Customs officer (quite young, beautiful but very serious lady) - «I do not have any experience in declaration of the spreading modular love» and after these words she became kinder and kinder. @endorphin you are making very creative manuals and letters which creatively translated by google translator for the coldest Russian hearts))))"
