Analogue Solutions Impulse Command Synthesizer Details

Published on Mar 31, 2019 Analogue Solutions

Additional details are in.

"What is it?

Impulse Command is here!

True STEREO analogue synth / sonic realizer. Perfect for melodic and percussion loops. Very easy (and fun!) to create modular style analogue loops. It’s a complete soundtrack all by itself!

It’s wrong to call it a synthesizer (in fact a new word needs to be invented) because then you get preconceived ideas about what it does. It’s a whole lot more than a synth. It’s also part drum synth, part pattern generator, part modular loop producer.

All its unique features plus the 2 independent LPFs give this machine the ability to produce stereo loops that sound like multiple synths playing at once.

Special features:

Analogue synth: analogue audio and modulation circuits

Stereo / dual filters

This synth can sound like multiple synths all at once

Stereo digital effects (reverb and delay)

16 step analogue sequencer

16 step MIDI Note sequencer

Dynamic internal patch system

ReOrder! feature to create new melodies from the sequencer

Dynamic VCO mix levels

Semi-modular

High-quality build

Impulse Command is a compact true analogue synth in a neat, smart, package. When we say ‘real analogue’ we mean that the entire audio path (aside from the post effects of course!) and all modulation are entirely analogue, using circuits based on awesome sounding vintage 1970s designs. Their circuits are not locked down by CPUs. Controls are not quantised and read by CPUs. With the exception of the essential digital elements (that is MIDI conversion, sequencer control and digital delay/reverb), Impulse Command really is analogue and the sound benefit is immediately apparent!"

AJH Synth MiniMod Eurorack Modular jam 'Tornado Down'

Published on Mar 31, 2019 DreamsOfWires

"AJH Synth MiniMod system, Sonic XV, Ring SM, & Frequency Central State 700 filter. Make Noise Pressure Points/Brains, Korg SQ-1 & Arturia Keystep for CV control/sequencing.

Patch breakdown:
Just a simple 4-step pattern controlling 1 MiniMod VCO and Noise into the Ring SM for sub octaves/harmonics, into the Sonic XV diode filter, second row of Pressure Points controlling cutoff. Then, noise from the MiniMod Glide into the State 700 filter, sequenced by the SQ-1 at tuned pitches (which you can hear when I ram up the resonance towards the end). Finally, lead part is 2 VCO's into the MiniMod ladder filter; Keystep modulation touchpad is controlling the amount of filter cutoff and LFO level (FC Wave Runner), which is modulating pitch of the two VCO's. Recorded into AUM on an iPad, with EOS2 reverb, via an iConnectAUDIO4 audio interface. Turn on Subtitles for text commentary.

Video footage: The final flight of the RAF Tornado, viewed outside my local airforce base. When I was a child it was my ambition to fly one of these, and had posters, models, and even computer games of the plane. Alas, I'm too thick, don't respond well to authority, and grew up to be a hippy. Watching them as a pessimistic old man gives me mixed feelings, but I'd still love to fly in one. I'll keep my eye on eBay, I'm sure they'll sell them on there, because eBay claim "Seriously, we have everything!".

Synthchaser #116 - ARP Synthesizer Mains Power Wiring Explanation & 240V Conversion

Published on Mar 31, 2019 Synth Chaser

http://www.synthchaser.com

"Before this Omni gets shipped off to the UK, I explain the mains wiring and show how to convert an ARP from 120V to 240V operation.

You will learn why the lamp on the power switch is meaningless as a diagnostic indicator, as well as where there is a dangerous wire that is color coded neutral but is actually hot mains level.

I sell, repair, and restore ARPs and other vintage synths for customers around the world."

Roland Juno 60 with Juno-66 Tubbutec Mod, New Chorus Chips

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

via this auction

"This Roland Juno 60 is in excellent condition for its age and has recently been overhauled by a professional technician. I had the amazing Juno-66 mod installed, along with ultra-rare MN3009 chorus chips -- the chorus is now crystal quiet! Even some of the best condition Junos tend be noisy when the chorus is engaged -- not this one!

Here's a summary of the work done:
Juno-66 mod by Tubbutec installed. This adds a number of great features, such as portamento, two LFOs, a second ADSR, and detuning, just to name a few! See further below for more details.
New MN3009 chorus chips installed. Noise-free when chorus is engaged.
New LFO Trig switch -- fully operational. A common feature to malfunction.
Replaced old-style soldered-on battery with new coin-style battery. Now easily changeable.
Cleaned everything, including all potentiometers, sliders, and key contacts.
Calibrated all."

BURG - the quiet earth (ms-20, monologue, eurorack)

#ms20 #KORGmonologue #eurorack

Sorry for the long silence, I have been working hard on finalising a future release.. this track is the final puzzle. Stay tuned for more soon :)

This track really revolves around the ms-20 and monologue, but there are so many small layers and bits all around the place that helps to build a foundation for the melody to rest on. The eurorack takes care of some advanced percussion, noise tools (white noise hhs), plonk for toms, BIA for some metal style percussion. Braids and Rings does some random sequences with washes of clouds and shimmer reverbs.. small textures to help fill the small gaps inbetween the beats.

TR-8S does 707 kick and snare plus some simpler hihats, bass from the volca bass sequenced from digitone. Avalon does what is does best, square melodies adding some delay FX from the analog four.

All in all it feels very uptempo, but only clocking in at 99bpm.. :)

I hope you will enjoy this one!

Peace // BURG

- KORG ms-20

Butterflies (Sm Pro Audio V-Machine and Teenage Engineering OP-Z Jam)

Published on Mar 31, 2019 Rephazer

"Hi folks, here is a little jam I did using the Teenage Engineering OP-Z only as a midi sequencer for the SM Pro Audio V-Machine which is the only sound source here.

The V-Machine is running 2 instances of NI FM8 for bass and pads, 2 instances of FB Mono/Fury for bass and arp, 2 instances of Samplelord for the strings, drums, piano and bass, 2 delays, 1 reverb and 1 (master) compressor completely maxing out the 1 GHz CPU on it.

I've been fooling around with the V-Machine a lot lately, since I got a second one to see how far I can get without the CPU breaking down which will happen with most (single) plugins. So it was a lot of trial and error (mostly error) to get multiple well performing plugins running on it, but I just love these little plugin player boxes. I am planning on using one V-Machine for VST effects and one V-Machine for VST instruments in future jams :)

Anyway, I hope you like this little jam. Cheers!"

This lecture is an absolute must watch for any serious devotee of the craft of electronic music. Watching Marc tear down the notion of East Coast vs. West Coast synthesis is worth the price of admission on its own."

"When it comes to vintage electronic music gear, the Roland TR-606 Drumatix analog drum machine is one of the last hidden gems. All analog drum voices, two trigger outs for sequencing analog gear, and best of all, you can switch between pattern edit and play modes without stopping the sequencer- can't do that on an 808 or a 909! Boomy bass that doesn't dominate a mix and metallic high hats that cut like a noise knife."
