Ipad and Korg SQ 1 midi to C.V Roland SH 7


Published on Dec 11, 2018 UFO LFO

"I found a use for my old Ipad three as a midi sequencer It's got enough power for that and sinks up with my Ipad air 2 over ableton link. This let's me sync up a lot of stuff. The Korg Sq 1 does a pretty good job of midi to C.V. conversion as long as you have a powered USB hub it recognises the Sq just fine."

Jomox 888 Analog Drum Machine

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Used Jomox 888 drum machine. I purchased on Ebay in 2009 and am the second owner. All drum voices are working. OS is 1.12. There is a cosmetic flaw in the wood stain on the right wooden end-cheek. A close-up is shown in picture #7. The wood stain was not evenly applied and has a light streak - it arrived to me like this in 2009. The other end-cheek does not have this problem. Otherwise, the 888 is in excellent cosmetic shape - view the close up pictures. Only ever used in a home studio that is smoke and cat free. Encoder 11 works but is not as sensitive/responsive as the other endless encoders. The main data encoder can be used to edit the same parameters that encoder 11 controls. No noise or scratchy sounds on the main output, individual instrument outputs or the main volume encoder. Listing includes original PSU and original manual."

Crumar Spirit (1983 Bob Moog) - Vintage Synth - Fully Serviced SN 00032

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

If you are viewing this page I am sure you know what this thing is capable of. It was designed by Bob Moog and is quite literally one of the most powerful mono synths ever produced.

Lots and lots of modulation possibilities and filter options, to quote Sound On Sound “you’d be hard pressed to emulate its intricacies using a modular instrument”

It’s also an unbelievably rare piece of kit, somewhere in the region of 250 in existence.

Fully serviced and in excellent condition, just got it back from my technician today.


Things worth noting.

1. A couple of the original knobs are missing and were replaced by yellow ones by the previous owner. (Photo 6)

2. Wooden side panel has suffered a crack. My tech says it looks like somebody tightened the screws too tight and it was caused by the ensuing pressure. (Photo 9)

3. Scuffing to lower frame under keyboard and slight chip to underside of 1 key. (Photo 10)

4. Selling to cover a tax bill. Really regrettably. Always thought I would hold on to this forever.

5. There are some other light scuffs and scratches, which were very difficult to show in the photos.

6. I will NOT post this item. However I will deliver free of charge to any buyer in England or Wales. If you are outside of this area you will have to pick the item up yourself, in person. NO COURIERS."

via this auction

"Has a couple of small minor scratches, but overall is a strong 9/10 cosmetically...very clean and basically mint. These are very hard to find, particularly in this condition...It's a beautiful machine!
This is a true Polyphonic synthesizer that sounds unreal. True classic analog sound, with some very nice lush soundscapes. The string sounds are beautiful as well. Truly a beautiful sounding synth capable of analog sounds that just can't be reproduced these days."

Percussa mSSP Kickstarter Update - 11 Days to Go!

via Percussa:

"Hi all, since the last newsletter about our Percussa mSSP Kickstarter campaign the following has happened:

We raised over $30K so far and have 54 backers on board!

We made 2 new mSSP demo videos:


OB 4-voice patch on the Percussa mSSP from percussa on Vimeo.

the patch consists of:

4 voices / 23 modules are running in parallel on the mSSP
per voice: 2 oscillators (SAW+SQR and SAW) + 1 SVF + 2 ENVs + 1 MIDI.
built-in fx chain (delay/reverb)
internal bus modules
external SVF cutoff and FM modulation (using make noise function and intellijel dixie II modules)
keyboard connected via MIDI port on mSSP
sound directly recorded onto the SSP and synced with video afterwards


mssp 4-voice sequencing demo #1 from percussa on Vimeo.


the patch consists of:

4 voices / 23 modules are running in parallel on the mSSP
per voice: 1 step sequencer, 1 microtonal quantizer (jazz scale from the SCALA archive), 1 sine osc, 1 envelope, 1 bus routing
built-in fx chain (delay/reverb)
frequency modulation of all sine oscillators via the input module
sound directly recorded onto the SSP and synced with video afterwards
Various parameters in the patch are adjusted using the mSSP encoders, such as attack time for the envelopes and clock division factor for the step sequencers.

Back now!

We still need to find another $90,000 or 150 mSSP backers to make this project happen. Please help us by backing and/or sharing this project online!

The mSSP Kickstarter campaign ends on Sunday, December 23 2018 at 8:00 AM PST."

Novation // Start Making - Drum & Bass


Published on Dec 11, 2018 NovationTV

"Next up in our Start Making series, we grabbed a load of sounds from across London (from the Underground, a black cab and a car horn) to use as samples and make a Drum & Bass track with only a Launchpad Pro and what comes in the box.

What do you get with Launchpad Pro?
The sounds in the video are sampled using an iPhone and input into Ableton Live Lite, alongside the Bass Station plug-in, V-Station plug-in and an XLN Addictive Keys Instrument (one from a choice of four!).

Nathan's Moog/Realistic MG-1 modifications (by Synthpro)


Published on Dec 11, 2018 synthpro

"Hi Guys,

This is a little MG-1 I have modified for Nathan. I added quite a few things to this synth to make it much more flexible than before.

Here are the things I added:

secondary LFO generating triangular and square waveforms.

Polyphonic section modulation amount control

LFO mixer control so the unit can be panned between the new LFO or original LFO, (responds to the filter and poly section only)

Added input busses for external modulation injection independently into the filter/poly section as well as the pitch of the mono synth oscillators.

LFO out which tied into the LFO mix control, this allows you to send the LFOs to other synths.

independent poly section output for routing the poly through effects or a stand alone mix.

Gain staging changes with selected resistor values to give you plenty of gain and presence in the sound.

Thanks for watching!

Jareth"

I was very happy when VCV Host module came out! There are so many opportunities to explore new depths of sound as never before. But the world of paid VST plugins is too huge. And besides, the idea of VCV Rack's open source nature sent me in search of free vst plug-ins available for 64 bits.

In the end, I tried a lot of things and decided to focus on these 9 amazing free plug-ins that really expand the capabilities of the rack. I hope my findings will be useful to you!

OSCILLATOR: tune; octave +1/+2; portamento; wave forms: triangle, saw, square, odd harmonics; frequency modulation (for all 4 waveforms); impulse-width modulation (for square wave form) with impulse width and depth controls; harmonics (for odd harmonics wave form). You can use individual OSC waveforms (triangle, saw, square, odd harmonics) or mix them together to get unique sounds!

LFO: on/off modulation switch, two waveforms (triangle, square), modulation rate, modulation rate coarse switch - 1Hz/10Hz.

FILTER: cutoff, resonance, vibrato (filter modulation), ADSR, switch between filter control- keyboard or contour OSC (ADSR). The synths filter due to it`s original architecture can be used as additional oscillator when filter`s resonance knob in self-oscillaltion position and it sounds really weird and interesting!

AMPLIFIER: ADSR, main volume, on/off synthesizer.

MIDI Interface: MIDI In & Thru (5Din socket), MIDI On\Off button, MIDI Learn Button.

Teenage Engineering's OP-1 Has Not Been Discontinued - Hardware Update on the Way


An update via Teenage Engineering:

"no one should pay this price for an OP-1 [one bid up to $8600 pictured].  so hang in there.

last week a rumour circulated that the OP-1 was dead.  no one was more surprised than us.

however, we've been working hard on updating the hardware platform in order to keep the product alive for many years to come.  this is causing a brief stop in the production, but we will be up and running at full speed shortly."

Curious what the hardware update will be.  One thing that always concerned me was how long the internal battery might last over time.  Anyone know?

Fast Record trigger drums with Four Bricks Rook module from Shakmat Modular


Published on Dec 11, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
I have another part of how to record fast trigger drums from Four Bricks Rook-Quad Trigger Sequence Generator module from Shakmat Modular.
When you use the Four Bricks Rook you basically have your drums under your hand under the pad and only your creativity limits you what to knock on the pads.
For me, this is a great module, it allows you to create a pattern in a dozen or so seconds without complicated programming, it has a lot of possibilities to create many paterns and write them, load, choose paternal length from 1 to 32 steps, here I used fast short 4. plus amazing mode FILL which I showed later for the arrangement and recording the fill in real time and many more function. definitely a strong thing at hand."

Announcing Bitwig Studio 2.5 Beta


Published on Dec 11, 2018 bitwig

"We're proud to announce our third point update this year, Bitwig Studio 2.5.
For this update, we chose a few select features that were either requested or inspired by our community."

On the synth front:

"NEW SOUND CONTENT: ANALOG WAVES

The building blocks of synthesis - classic sources ready to go.

Coinciding with Bitwig Studio 2.5 is "Analog Waves." Designed in collaboration with Boxed Ear, this package comprises 60 Sampler presets, each made with hundreds of full-frequency oscillator waveforms. From rumbling lows to guttural mids and sparkling highs, a full-bandwidth sound is the best way to bring analog sources into a digital environment.

If you prefer polished presets, then the ready-to-go sounds will have you covered. But this pack is also ideal for your own sound design. By wrapping all 760-some samples into a single multisample, one click will load all the pure and layered oscillators so your sound sculpting can begin. (Don’t worry; our recently revamped Sampler is made for any number of samples and layers.)
Analog oscillators are a thing to behold — and Bitwig Studio natively works with them. But when hardware is out of reach, this rich set of samples proves to be an excellent sidekick.
Download "Analog Waves" from the Bitwig Studio Package Manager and start crafting your unique sounds today. Check out the demos below."
