"Almost good condition but unfortunately LFO doesn't work. Other part works well and sounds beefy and cool analogish. 2VCO duo-phonic notes, you can play bass and melody at the same time. Unique Touch sense mod, filter, and Ring modulator, useful function.

Teisco is famous as 1960's unique electric guitar however, they made Kawai Musical Instruments Synthesizer in the 80's and this licensed by ARP."

Quick Tip: Bouncing Ball Effect With Two LFOs Tutorial

Published on Aug 27, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Here is a quick tip on how to make a bouncing ball modulation effect.

You will need:
- a synthesizer with two LFOs with sawtooth/ramp waveforms.

The patch:
- The first LFO is set to a slower speed and is ramping up
- The first LFO modulates the speed of the second LFO which is faster and ramp down waveform
- The second LFO modulates the filter or VCA

This patch makes the sound of a ball bouncing since there is an opening and closing of a VCA or VCF that continues to speed up the way the bouncing of a ball speeds up as it gets closer to the ground. This is achieved by having a slow ramp up LFO (this is creating the increasing speed) modulate a second LFO that is generating each bounce. To get a gated sound modulate the filter or amplifier with the second LFO, or try modulating something different like the pulse width of an oscillator or the dry wet mix of an effect.

If your LFOs have linear and exponential waveforms try different ones for different speed increasing ramps that sound more or less natural.

"Enough with washed in reverb Quantum demos! This is the RAW sound of Quantum playing one single wavetable i recently built from the ROM of Sequential Prophet VS synthesizer. This is a direct audio, no effects, just basic realtime tweaking of the wavetable. There are many more built. Check Gearslutz forum, Quantum thread for details (around date Aug 27)."

Radiator update!

Published on Aug 27, 2019 Neon Captain

"We brought Radiator prototypes to SELEM (South Eastern Laser Enthusiasts Meeting). SELEM is the largest gathering of Laserists in the United States and the perfect setting to introduce the Radiator into the Laserist community.

The Radiator was very enthusiastically received (many of the SELEM attendees were Kickstarter backers) and during the week we gathered pages and pages of feedback and notes that we're using to make the Radiator even more amazing.

Right now we're concentrating on optimizing the abstract engine and expanding the color modulation effects. As you can see in this video, the output is buttery smooth and HSV (the Radiator supports HSV and RGB color spaces) color manipulation makes for some really cool effects."

Novation Peak Patches with Spencer Zahn

"We've just released our next round of Peak Patches with the skilled Spencer Zahn! 🎛🎚🎹

Explore his signature synthesizer sound and grab them for free via components >>> novationmusic.com/peak-summit-pr…"

"Spencer Zahn the bassist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer, released his debut album People of the Dawn in 2018. He has spent the last several years as an in-demand sideman and collaborator, touring and recording with artists from across a wide musical spectrum.

While traveling as a bassist and keyboard player, Zahn started recording synthesizer experiments in his off time. These experiments - musical snapshots of cities all over the world - became the foundation of People of the Dawn, an album that seeks to merge the chaotic wisdom of jazz improvisation with the warm pulse of electronica. He has since been composing music for a 2019 release featuring some of New York’s finest musicians."

Patch Dissection

Published on Aug 27, 2019 Omri Cohen

"So the idea my Patrons chose this month was to dissect a patch and explore some possibilities on how to build on it. This patch was built by one of my Patrons, Pomeroy Paul, and it's really nice and jazzy. Thank you Paul for letting me mess around with this patch!

By the way, thanks so much to Johno Wells and his lovely daughters for the "And Gals" samples! - https://www.instagram.com/johno_wells...

"Rare Moog Synthesizer Sales Catalogs and price lists from 1972. Also ARP, Ionic, and EML Sales Literature. All in good condition and collected back in 1972. There is also a flexible record of Moog demo sounds from the factory - see picture. These are instruments I dreamed about way back then and the catalogs are very rare today. I actually visited the Moog factory outside of Buffalo, NY in 1972 and met Robert Moog as he was working on Keith Emerson's big synthesizer. They demoed their new percussion controller about a week before I saw Palmer play it at the the Buffalo War Memorial. Lots of memories associated with this collection of sales brochures."

Roland HS-60 / Juno-106 SN 540181

via this auction

"The Roland HS-60 is IDENTICAL to the Juno 106 but it has onboard speakers, HOW COOL! Same circuit boards, voice chips, everything. You've heard it and you know how good they sounds and now you need it in your arsenal. Super lush, deep strings, sweeps, filters, effects, organs, AND it is fully equipped with midi so you can run it with your modern digital setup. This one is made in May of 1985.

Its in nice shape with next to no wear. The 80's graphics look fantastic. There is a little wear here an there but nothing much. You can see from the pictures how clean it is. There are no scratchy pots for they have been cleaned. All of the black coating was removed from all voice chips and sound fantastic. New blue LED's, because they look awesome. The numeric display, the "A" preset LED and one of the chorus' were kept red. I think it looks cooler with a mix of both colors. The original battery has been replaced with a new one and a socket so if the battery ever goes out, just pull the battery and pop a new one in. The 2-prong power socket has been updated to a universal 3-prong socket. This one is road ready and needing to see some stage and studio action."

The aliens are coming

Published on Aug 27, 2019 once upon a synth

"This started off as a sound experiment when I ran the Korg MS-20 through a spring reverb and ring modulator. With this setup I quickly realized I now had the power to contact aliens, so I wrote this song. The spring reverb is the Knas Ekdahl Moisturizer. The ring mod is the moogerfooger one. I'm also playing the Arturia Solina V plugin and there's some drums coming from Ableton Live.

5 MINUTES WITH - EMS VCS3 Synthesizer

Published on Aug 27, 2019 sonicstate

"Episode two in our 5-MINUTES-WITH series, and this time its the EMS/Putney VCS-3. An unusual synthesizer from the late 1960's with a truly scientific vibe to it. Peter Zinovieff started building these instruments to fund his burgeoning obsession with electronic music. It went on to become a quirky classic.

Yes the VCS-3 is a rare beast, rumour has it that there is a waiting list for modern builds of this directly from EMS, but the timescale appears to be rather variable."

Patching Panda Vibrazum // Triple Resonant Multimode Filter in Eurorack

Published on Aug 27, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Here we have the very lovely triple filter 'Vibrazum' from Patching Panda (it's the "v2"). It's a single shared input into a network of mutlimode filters with independent and global control, separate and mixed outputs and CV over all the parameters. From simple characterful low pass to weird formant triple peak vocal sounds there's a tonne of range in here. Although it's not labelled as a stereo device plenty of the patch examples here are stereo, using Vibrazum to create a stereo image for FX or general synth tones. So grab some decent headphones or monitors to hear the details in the sounds. Any questions just ask, thanks for Patching Panda for sponsoring this video and cheers for watching!
