MFOS Weird Sound Generator WSG Analog Synthesizer Synth - LamayMusic

via this auction

Cool rainbow knobs.

"Listed is a Music From Outer Space (MFOS) WSG analog synthesizer designed by Ray Wilson.

NEWLY BUILT AND TESTED, ready to start making beautiful music (or noise).
Professionally hand-built (all by me [LamayMusic]).

This WSG is AC Powered and includes an AC adapter.
Saves a bit of money and waste by not going through the batteries.

This Weird Sound Generator has the CV mods to control Weird Freq A and B (each with separate CV 1/4 in) along with 1 CV for the filter cutoff.
These CV mods add a nice way to give the WSG more melodic potential.
The WSG can be used alone or by the CV (15 volt max, ie 1 volt per oct) and Gate inputs.

Plenty of REAL knob twisting switch flicking fun for the money!!!

All WSGs are not created equal!!! My Synths are not your 'typical' looking home built units. These are high quality, built with care and very professional.

Metal film resistors and high quality components (Sourced from Mouser Electronics) used through out.
Quality pots for a nice smooth turning action.
Circuit Board (Direct from MFOS) is mounted to case via aluminum stand-offs.
WSG dimensions are approx. 9 x 6 x 3"

"MIDI and CV-equipped keyboard controller with eight-track sequencer

Novation today announces the next generation of SL keyboard controllers. SL MkIII is far from your typical keyboard controller. It’s an all sequencing, all dancing hub for all of your music-making tools. A centrepiece to connect, control and create with your entire setup. Computer or not. Create quickly and easily with your MIDI hardware and CV/Gate synths. Build your tracks in the eight-track polyphonic sequencer: everything in time; everything in key; every control at your fingertips.

Novation worked with Ableton® to create an unprecedented integration with Live™. SL MkIII truly pulls your sessions out of the box. The full colour LCD screens give you full visibility of your parameters, while the pads, buttons, eight faders and eight knobs get you hands-on with your music – and in any major music software, using InControl. Deep integrations with Logic® and Reason – plus HUI compatibility with Cubase, Pro Tools® and Reason – mean SL MkIII can follow you away from Ableton®, too.

SL MkIII boasts Novation's finest, most playable and expressive synth-style semi-weighted keybed, with a sprung action and Novation's highest scan rate, all tuned to the needs of the experienced player.

Key features

Absolute hardware control, taking total control directly from the internal eight-track polyphonic pattern-based sequencer

Easy integration with Ableton® Live™ or any other HUI-compatible DAW. Controlling software is made easy by recording productions from a studio centrepiece

Whether in the box or outside the box, the MIDI and analogue clock and transport controls keep everything running in time

Highly customisable mappings for hardware and software easily control everything

USB; MIDI In, Out, Out 2/Thru; three pedal inputs; Analogue Clock Out; and two CV Pitch, Gate, and Mod outputs can be used to route anything anywhere

SL MkIII's pads, buttons, eight faders and eight knobs take control of all major music software using InControl

The SL MkIII has an exceptionally high scan rate of 10kHz, giving the keyboard a huge dynamic range for expressive keyboard performance

SL MkIII's velocity-sensitive RGB pads have multiple functions: they can be used for launching clips, as steps in the sequencer, they are perfect for the finger drummer, and have polyphonic aftertouch

Components allows templates and sessions to be backed up and restored in the cloud, enabling access from anywhere in the world. All content can also be saved locally"

Oberheim Etude #1: "Marathon Man"

Published on Oct 10, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Straight-up, in-your-face synth hero in this piece. Full-on 80's mode. :)

Something of a LH stamina-fest! Yes, quite the marathon.

Presently I'm preparing the scores for review. What I'm creating for each piece is introductory text/explanation of the musical/technical points, plus the score - and I'm hoping to also have a 'player-friendly' version of each score i.e. all note names added to help those who may struggle with notated music. Very involved, but hopefully worth it.

Given there is no developed repertoire for the synth (I mean as in sheet music i.e. a quantifiable recorded form of the music that can be passed from player-player), it is difficult to say what a 'good' synth player is, as there is no established technical yardstick. With these etudes I'm covering the technical/musical difficulties encountered in synth writing (which isn't necessarily 'play fast'), and sometimes pushing those difficulties slightly further (you likely won't encounter an octave bassline with the jumps/constant nature as of this work - but if you can play a work such as this, 'typical' synth bassline writing is, relatively speaking, easy).

The end result is: if someone can play all 12, they'll have the ability to play almost anything/everything written for synth.

Guaranteed gigs/session work :)

The works are also good for pinpointing any weaknesses in playing. And hopefully also enjoyable as audio! No point writing music that sounds terrible!

The works aren't written necessarily to be played on an Oberheim - they can be performed on any 49-key synth. Even a MIDI controller/soft synth is fine. Personally, I'd love to hear what other players would do with them, in terms of patch/overall tone.

I'm also working on a set of monophonic works. I'll post one soon.

It would be nice for the audio for both sets to be available as an album/digital download. Let's see how things unfold.

All best
Kris"

Qu-Bit Scanned - Organic Wavetable Oscillator Eurorack Module Now Shipping

Published on Oct 10, 2018 Qu - Bit

"Scanned is an organic wavetable oscillator. It uses an unexplored technique known as Scanned Synthesis to animate wavetables that are created in real-time. This synthesis method was conceived by the father of computer music, Max Matthews, as the next paradigm in digital oscillators, and until now, has never been implemented on hardware.

The wavetables are dynamically generated from a set of "objects" tied together on a virtual string. These objects have physical properties including Mass, Stiffness, and Damping which affect the way that the string moves through space and time. Unlike physical modeling, however, this algorithm is a means of creating new electronic sounds, not replicating acoustic instruments. To animate the waveform, the objects are morphed into the currently selected hammer shape and then released. This excitation of the sound generates evolving timbral landscapes that contain harmonic movement without external modulation. The hammer section also determines whether Scanned is a free-running oscillator, or a triggered sound source allowing it to function as a complete voice without additional filters or VCAs.

- First hardware implementation of Scanned Synthesis
- Organic wavetable generation and animations
- Can be a free-running oscillator or triggered voice
- Inject input allows external audio or CV sources to excite the string
- Evolving timbral landscapes without external modulation
- Four hammer shapes with interpolation
- Aluminum front panel"

New TEMPI feature: Voltage Controlled Tempo!

Published on Oct 10, 2018 MAKEN0ISE

"The most recent TEMPI firmware lets us use the State Select knob and its CV input for a new parameter: Voltage controlled Tempo!

By default, Channel 1 will be set up for Tap Tempo. To change to voltage controlled Tempo, go to the Clock Edit page by double-clicking both Program Buttons. When Ch1 does not have any Red in its color, in other words when it is BLUE or OFF, Tap Tempo will be OFF and the Tempo will be set by the State Select control.

The individual channels will maintain their tempo relationships when changing this control. So you can switch States or edit individual channels while also changing the Leading Tempo. I’ll change States using a Leading René.

The State select CV input is normalled to an offset so you can use it as an attenuator for incoming CV."
