RIP Carl Matthews



Some sad news in via ABSTRKT:

"I just learned a family friend died last week.

Carl Matthews was one of the early pioneers in the UK electronic/synthesist movement in the 70’s and 80’s producing cassette releases via Mirage, Electronical Dreams and various compilations. Recently he had a track featured on the compilation 'On The Noise Floor' (Cherry Red Records), and 'Winters Past', a remastered release of his early cassette years."

SDS Digital Gate Crash Module! 3 Days from Concept to Completion!


Published on Aug 9, 2019 freshnelly

"This is a crazy little gate delay module I decided I needed to add to the demo rack. It won't be manufactured (probably) but I'm going to post the software and info's so anyone able can build it.
Of course if they can build this from scratch then they probably would have already done so?

Why so fast? I wanted to flex my designer muscle with a challenge and really did pull this off. It was actually only 2.5 days because I couldn't start until I was back from the mainland after noon on the second day.
OCD? Well perhaps with the features..

SO this module has 8 totally different modes:
A. 0-Dual Gate Delay Mode 3:10
B. 1-Dual Long Delay Mode 6:27
C. 2-Dual Clock Divider Mode 9:44
D. 3-Dual Gate Recorder/Looper Mode 13:43
E. 4-Logic Mode 15:33
F. 5-Dual Variable Gate Length Mode 17:41
G. 6-Dual Burst Pulse Generator 21:33
H. 7-Dual Preset Gate Sequences Mode 24:26

I had some fun with this video because it's not an actual product so could let loose a bit ha ha! I think doing the vid took longer than the module..

Enjoy"

Recovery Effects and Devices "Jupiter Spirits" Eurorack Oscillator Demo

Published on Apr 12, 2019 recoverysounds

"Demo of the 'Jupiter Spirits' 4 voice Eurorack oscillator from Recovery Effects and Devices."


"Jupiter Spirits orbits around the engine of many legendary synths of the 1970s, the classic CEM3340 chip. It is inspired by our love of the oscillator sections of the Moog designed Crumar Spirit, Roland Jupiter, and SH-101.

Four independent voices produce triangle and sawtooth waveforms creating 8 total outputs, generating thick, rich, analog voices. Jupiter Spirits is the ideal tool for those looking for multiple sound sources in a small package.

Hand-wired in Seattle, Washington. 12hp, 42mm deep. Includes a limited lifetime warranty."

"I’m selling my trusty ARP Odyssey synthesizer which has served me well over these past seven years.

I had some work done to it by an expert in Maine in 2012. However, they told me that it would need more work done and right now, I can’t afford those further repairs.

Usually this will get in tune after a good 45 minutes of warming up. That being said, several times, it’s hard to get a sound out of it and sometimes, the same notes come out of it despite various keys. The keyboard itself could do with a full overhaul.

I’ve included the receipt for the work that was done in 2012 for your reference.

The unit itself is in good condition with no dings or dents. It also comes with the foot pedal switch. I’m also including copies of the owner’s manual and service manual.

Please be aware that shipping will NOT be cheap given that I will have this professionally packed up to ensure it reaches you safely."

"Made between 1982 and 1984, the Roland TB-303 is an analog bass synthesizer capable of producing sequenced bass lines. Originally intended to accompany studio musicians in place of a bassist, it soon found a different use providing the squelching bass lines of acid house music, particularly due to its transistor-based resonant low-pass filter. With a DIN Sync24 input, CV/Gate functionality, and a unique step sequencer with slide, swing, and accent functions, the Roland TB-303 creates an unforgettable and unique bass sound"

The Waves That Carry Us - An Ambient / Drone Jam (reface CP, Blofeld, Specular Tempus)


Published on Aug 9, 2019 Lanthan O'Ide

"An ambient jam session with my new reface CP, accompanied with a drone on the Blofeld. And a lot of reverb, of course. ;)
I hope you like it! :D
================================
For those interested in the setup:
The reface CP sends a MIDI signal to the Waldorf Blofeld.
Audio is routed from the Blofeld to the Aux In of the CP, from the CP to the Specular Tempus and on to my audio interface, where it is recorded.

To start the drone I am using the same trick as in "The Night Above The Clouds":
I play a chord and then turn off MIDI receiption on the Blofeld, so that it ignores the "Note Off" command when I let go of the keys.
Then I fade the CP in and continue jamming with the e-piano sound.

Unfortunately, there where some audio dropouts in the recording. I somewhat got to fix them, but I'm afraid they might still be noticeable from time to time. Sorry 'bout that. :(

The CVilizationist HeadphonesMix Published on Aug 9, 2019 Urs Heckmann

"This is a special mix using Sennheiser Ambeo software to recreate the spatial depth of the original quadraphonic mix.

All sequencing and quantization (time & pitch) is done using one CVilization in Mode III (with a tiny bit of help from Brains + PressurePoints). A second CVilization mixes and animates four voices of melody and percussion in its quadraphonic panning mode (Mode IV).

Some of the live action apart from mixing, filtering, triggering and sound design is recording new sequences into CVilization, and setting mutation depths to evolve these sequences during playback."

MPG-50 | Review | You want a controller for your Alpha Juno?


Published on Aug 8, 2019 Espen Kraft

"The MPG-50 controller from Retroaktiv. A controller for your Roland Alpha Juno 1/2 or MKS-50. This controller has a lot of features, among them a cool "assign" function that lets you program in different parameters to be controlled from ONE fader. There's also a very sophisticated patch generator for different types of sounds. The programmer can controll two different units at once, and it can also be used as a generic controller for any VST synth that accept CC."
