Percussa SSP Eurorack Module Update

Sampler Scrubbing and Modulating on the Percussa SSP Eurorack Module Published on Sep 14, 2019 PERCUSSA

"New Sampler Scrubbing Features + Usability Fixes + Bugfixes

scrubbing code has been added such that if the sampler is not looping and you change start, length or Xfade, there are no glitches that can be heard. It now sounds like a tape head or vinyl record moving. Modulating start/length now is also smooth because it uses the same scrubbing code.

start/length logic has been changed so there is no more “inversing” of the from / to playback region. This should make it easier to use the sampler and to know what’s happening.

A level setting has been added per-sample so you can adjust the level for each of the 8 samples in the sampler module. This setting also allows inverting the sample playback (range is -1.0 to 1.0).

various other bugs in the sampler were fixed in the process and the code cleaned up and optimized.

New Quad SVF + Bugfixes + Optimizations

The SVF now has 4 inputs and 20 outputs (4x5). It’s now a quad-filter, which means you have 4 independent filters in one module. Each filter has 5 outputs, and the name of the outputs has been shortened to HP, LP, BP, PK and NT.

It doesn’t matter if you use 1, 2, 3 or 4 of the filters because the CPU cost is the same. Filter processing is done in parallel on the CPU now so this change does not increase CPU usage.

Cutoff / resonance mod inputs also had an issue previously where the mod signal would be scaled on the inputs, this has now been fixed. It’s possible that similar issues were present on some mod inputs of other modules, so this fix should take care of that as well."

via this auction

"The Resonant Garden is an acoustic-electronic hybrid designed to create anything from beats and oddities to dense sound scapes.

The garden essentially utilizes three Alter circuits but each equipped with a mic pre-amp, and 4 garden (stringed) panels for generating acoustics. By plucking, rubbing, tapping or even bowing, those micro-acoustic sounds become amplified and effected by the Alter in any number of ways. In essence, the garden is a large microphone designed to pick up vibrations."

via this auction

"Legendary Korg SQ-10 3 channel analog sequencer. Perfect combo with MS-10, MS-20 and MS-50 as well as any analog synth have CV/Gate in. Channel A & B has switchable for +/- 1V and +/- 5V, Channel C is 0V-5V.

The unit is working but cosmetically poor with some rust with this grand father of portable analog sequencer."

Moog Matriarch - Paraphonic Pad Fun

Published on Sep 14, 2019 Expanding Sound

"This was a request from a couple of fellow youtubers. My first Matriarch exploration video was mostly in Monophonic mode, not for any particular reason other than I was having fun. A couple people asked me to do some work in paraphonic mode to show some chords and pads on the Matriarch. I was happy to oblige!
Theres something to be said about an inspiring instrument. I can really see the draw towards modular setups after playing with the Matriarch the last few days. You never want to stop manipulating the tone. The possibilities feel exciting, and endless. One more patch here, one more tweak there.
This video is based off very simple chord progressions, for the first couple minutes just a 4 to a 5 chord in E, having fun with the sound. Although I do change the oscillator waveforms in the video, I change them uniformly. My Crumar Stratus has a mode that allows you to seesaw oscillator waveform (between Square and Sawtooth, I think) with every keystroke. Although I love my Stratus, I always thought that feature sounded dumb. With the Matriarch I was more concerned with making it sound pleasant to my ears. And it does. Hopefully you enjoy it, and it shines some light onto some nice warm pad sounds you can make with this beautiful synth."

A C I D // AE Modular Synth // Electribe 2 Sampler #TTNM

Published on Sep 14, 2019 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Finally spent some time with my Korg Electribe 2 Sampler. More info below :)

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

Of course I removed all stock samples and sequences from the Electribe 2 Sampler immediately, with the help this awesome blank pattern preset file:
https://innerportalstudio.com/electri...

Then I downloaded this sweet sample manager software:
http://appification.de/ElectribeSampl...

... and loaded a bunch of tangible waves AE Modular synth samples onto the device. So everything you hear in this video are sounds from the AE Modular, either sampled and played by the Electribe or live from the AE Modular synth rack, which is synced to the Electribe's clock via the handy analog sync output.

The Acid (I guess?!) melody sequence is played by the SEQ16 module and the sound is a basic VCO sawtooth wave through the NYLE filter, which is modulated not only by a decay envelope, but also occasionally by the VCO's square wave utilising the filter's CV2 input.

I'm just getting used to the whole groovebox thing again after neglecting them for years, but I'm having tons of fun with the Electribe 2 Sampler. It's very live friendly indeed."

Never Powered Vintage 1971/72 ARP 2600 Tonus Logo?

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

via this auction

Question: would you just pop it on and be the first, or would you have a tech run through it first? :)

"Here's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a really special ARP 2600 Tonus logo synth... that has never even been powered up !

This one comes with an amazing story. We acquired this instrument from an estate sale. Its one-and-only owner was an accomplished retired drummer who had taken sick and could no longer play the drums. So, he traded his drumming equipment in 1971/72 for the "latest and greatest" analog semi-modular synth at the time: the ARP 2600. Well, he wasn't a synthesist, but a drummer-and unfortunately his health continued to deteriorate, so he simply tucked this beauty away in the back of his closet, where it stayed until after his untimely death. He never even turned it on !

We then acquired the ARP 2600 as part of an estate sale a few years ago, and catalogued and stored it in a climate-controlled storage facility."

"Oberheim Two Voice is smaller than its big brothers 8 voice and 4 voice in terms of the size and polyphony yet most popular because of killer mini sequencer. This was perfectly working last time I play in about year ago. But I’ve noticed this machine needing to put in service now."

Macbeth M5 Repair

Published on Sep 14, 2019 wedream2

"After 14 years of frustration, I decided to attempt a fix of 2 non-functioning slider potentiometers on my M5. The problem turned out to be poor solder connections rather than with the slider pots themselves. Perhaps these pics will help others perform similar repair/maintenance on a synth that never came with an owner's manual, nor service manual & schematics."

"The is a saw sync patch running through a Specular Tempus reverb. Interesting note, the SH 7 has three envelopes 2 ADSR's and one A D, the A D envelope is a pitch envelope for flute windwood effects. It has negative and positive range like the filter envelope. Here I mainly use sync with a quick A D envelope setting. Mainly for a bit of bite. Portamento is set on low as well."
