TECHNO! with AE Modular Synth & LepLoop Arpopone (in HDR on supported devices) #TTNM

"PLAY IT LOUD ON GOOD SPEAKERS WITH BASS!!!! More info below :)

---------

PixelNoises Synth T-Shirts by The Tuesday Night Machines:
https://shop.spreadshirt.com/pixelnoi...

---------

Audio gear used:
- Tangible Waves AE Modular synth with the new State Variable SV Filter and LOPAG Vactrol Lowpass Gate, MultiFX Reverb-Flanger, Nyle Filter, Wasp Filter, etc.
- LepLoop Apropone Bass and Chord synth. Demo video here: [posted here]

At the beginning you can hear the new AE Modular SVFilter on-beat and the LOPAG Vactrol LPG off-beat. Then I fade in two other voices, one which is an oscillator going through the Wasp Filter and another one through the Nyle Filter. There is also a steady white noise beat coming in later at about 2:10, a bit of filter modulation and of course the Lep Loop Arpopone, generating bass and chord stabs (starting at around 1:35). The Arpopone is synced to an AE Modular LFO, which in turn is synced to the master clock (another AEM LFO), so that it doesn't produce a steady clock, but a faster pattern, which is fun. Syncing LFOs is great!"

Tasty Chips GR-1 Granular Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"The Tasty Chips GR-1 offers perhaps the first truly intuitive, approachable interface for granular synthesis in hardware format. With dedicated controls for all common granular synthesis parameters and a crisp display with clever and clear visual feedback, the GR-1 makes in-depth granular synthesis easy.

Offering 16 voices of polyphony with a maximum of 128 grains per voice, the GR-1 is equally at home in context as a source of sonorous ambience, glitched-out gestural textures, cinematic sound design, and far more. Latching "play" buttons for four independent voices as well as MIDI input offer multiple modes of interaction, while built-in LFOs and control voltage inputs allow extensive automation of internal parameters. Dedicated controls for grain position, density, size, pitch, scan rate, window shape, position randomization, and panning randomization make deep granular manipulation easily accessible. A 7" display makes the implications of all controls visible, making the otherwise obtuse methods of granular synthesis far more obvious than any previous hardware.

It seems strange to say that granular synthesis can be intuitive—but Tasty Chips Electronics has made it possible. The GR-1 might be the best hardware granular synthesizer to date."

1977 - STEINER MICRON ANALOG Synthesizer 360 Systems Version

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

via this auction

I don't think I ever realized there was a 360 Systems Steiner Parker relationship.

"1977 - Steiner Micron 360 Systems Analog Synth Expander

This particular one comes from a collection and was last serviced in 2016 by SRS. It has a wired euro plug with minimal wear and tear to the casing.

Description
The Steiner Microcon is a complete synthesizer (less keyboard) in a single module. It has its own power supply, VCO, LFO, VCF and envelope generator, thereby combining all of the most needed parts of a synthesizer in one unit.

It can be used with synthesizer accessories such as sequencers, electronic valve instruments, guitar slave-drivers, pitch followers, or with a keyboard. Multiple units can be combined with a guitar controller to form full polyphonic synthesizers at a fraction of the cost normally expected. Combined with a regular synthesizer, it ads an extra 'voice' to your present system.

Oscillator stability and tracking are the best that state of the art will allow. Numerous inputs and outputs are available on the front and top of the unit. Other signals available inside can be brought out for special applications, and connected to other equipment in a variety of useful ways.

The Minicon truly packs alot of synthesizer into a small space (which looks to be about 4-inches by 6-inches. There are 8 knobs and 6 switches. The VCO has knobs for course and fine tuning and switches allowing selection of "three waveforms". The LFO has knobs for rate and level and a switch for beat and is available for vibrato. The VCF has knobs for frequency and gain, as well as a switch for resonance. The Envelop Generator has knobs for attack and decay, as well as a switches to enable damp (a quick release decay) and sustain. The VCA is described as a "trigger controlled audio gate". Connections include positive and negative trigger out, VC filter in, calibrated and uncalibrated voltage control ins, a signal out (which "can be paralleled"), and a trigger in. According to the product literature the "beat function causes the VCO to sound like to sound like two oscillators beating together."

"1974 Vintage Minimoog Model D

Williamsville, NY 6xxx model

I am the second owner of this unit and it has been laying around for some time collecting dust, as with any synth this old it could use some cleanup on the connections/contacts (age and dust) and the keys could use some work as well. You can see the cosmetic condition in the photos provided, there are some scuffs but for a unit of its age overall it is in decent shape.

This could be a beautiful piece in the right hands, sold as is."

Its in great cosmetic condition but hasn't been used in years so may need a tuning. Power and all the keys work and all produce a tone but i'm not too sure if the oscillators, mixer and filters are working as they did back in the 70s."

nonlinearcircuits Digital Filter Simulator 1

Published on Jan 3, 2019 cirtcele

"Analogue circuit designed to simulate a digital filter....sort of. Starts slowly, jump to the 2nd half to get a real taste for it."

via nonlinearcircuits

"This module is based on ideas presented in a 1969 IEEE paper titled - Hybrid Implementation for Sampled-data controllers. The paper presents the canonical form of a generalised digital filter made using analogue elements.....yes this is an analogue circuit; all CMOS and op amps. I played around with various versions for a few years and, as usual, settled on the simplest and cheapest version.

Incoming audio signals (or CV if you want to use it as a pattern generator) are fed to a 4 bit A/D stage, these 4 bits then go thru a 4 stage delay (shift registers). Each delayed bit is re-united with its siblings via four D/A stages and the stepped signals are then fed back to the input via an attenuator/inverter stage and are fed to the summed output, again via an attenuator/inverter stage.

The circuit is controlled by the clock input that ticks over the shift registers. CV controlling the VCO that supplies the clock signal will in turn control the filter. The Range pot needs to be set to a suitable level, I like it when the peak LED is flickering. Range can also be controlled by CV which will allow you to shift from a 1 bit signal to a 4 bit or overdrive the crap out of it and lock everything up. It is interesting to supply clock signals that are multiples or divisions of the audio signal, but like all NLC modules, feel free to do whatever you like. As mentioned, supplied with a gate and a CV it will perform as a complex pattern generator as well.

I will get a demo up soon, but will promise this doesn't sound like a filter......it is very noisy and splatty.

Panel = USD22
