THREETOM Modular & Steve's MS-22 Dual Voltage Controlled Filter

Published on Sep 20, 2019 Threetom Modular

via THREETOM modular

"I'm THREETOM modular, a small modular synthesizer company based in Belgium. Steve's MS-22 is my first module. I also do SMD repairs and DIY assembly.

Steve’s MS-22 is a dual voltage controlled filter (inspired upon a classic OTA design) with an innovative modulation matrix and one of the highest function-to-hp ratios in the land of Eurorack.

General features
- Dual VCF inspired by the Korg MS-20 OTA filter
- Low-pass into high-pass configuration
- Innovative modulation matrix allows CV control over all parameters
- Cut-off frequencies can be linked, resulting in a band pass filter with controlable bandwidth
- Bipolar monitoring LEDS for the LP, HP, resonance and gain CV signals
- One of the best functionality-to-size ratios in Eurorack with a width of 4 HP and a depth of 45 mm"

Vintage ARP SOLUS Monophonic Analog Synthesizer SN 462

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

via this auction

"The ARP Solus is a light and portable synth that lies somewhere between the Axxe and the Odyssey. The Solus is monophonic with 2 oscillators that include pulse-width-modulation and a digital ring modulator. An FM slider allows for an external sound source to be ring modulated through VCO #1 which gives this synth added function as an analog ring modulator perfect for creating wacky sounds. A great sounding ARP VCF (filter) adds a nice touch. Pitch bending is accomplished using a simple knob..

The Synth was tested and it is in good working order. No issues. Sliders all function. Sounds really cool and you can get some pretty amazing tones out of this thing..."

Configurations by Shasta Cults Now Available

Announced back in July 31, Shasta Cults' Configurations composed on the Buchla 700 is now available on Bandcamp.

"Recorded in 2017, employing the processes of non-linear waveshaping, frequency modulation and feedback, Configurations consists of eight programs captured live to multitrack using a rare, fully functional Buchla 700 digital-hybrid instrument designed in the late 1980s. Whereas previously released works made with the 700 almost always consist in simple manipulations of the single factory preset, this album delves deep into the instrument's rich sonic vocabulary to offer the listener a more elaborate demonstration of the system's capabilities."

Expert Sleepers Coming to Signal Sounds' First Makker Event

via Signal Sounds, starting with a note on Makker:

" 'Makker' is a Scots word that means 'maker' in English. It's spelling and it's meaning developed and it came to be 'Makar', which is now the term for the Scots Poet Laureate.

In this series of events at Signal Sounds we'll host makers, designers, artists and creators at our new home on Parnie Street for live performances and discussion on their creative process.

We're very pleased to be able to bring Expert Sleepers here for our first event!

They very recently launched the ES-9, a eurorack compatible USB audio interface that's capable of binding hardware and software together in a manner that we don't think has ever been done before.

At this edition of Makker, the creator behind Expert Sleepers, Os, will perform live using the ES-9. We'll then have a patch breakdown, so we can see how the performance was built. You'll have the opportunity to get hands on with one of the ES-9s we have here in the flesh and we'll also have a Q&A at the end.

The event is free but space is limited.

While we realise that many of you who get this mail-out might not be close enough to us to visit in person, we'd welcome those of you who are at our new premises on Parnie Street. The banner above links to a facebook event if you would like to indicate your attendance.


Don't worry though! For those who're not able to see us in person our aim is to document these events so that everyone can benefit from them. More on that soon we hope!

Free L.A. Synth Expo Returns to Echo Park with Increased Modular presence

RSVP Here "After the 2018 launch, which brought over 1,000 musicians to a warehouse in Echo Park, the free Los Angeles Synth & Pedal Expo will return on September 28-29, 2019 in the same space on West Temple Street, in collaboration with local stores Analogue Haven, Noisebug and Truetone Music.

The involvement of Modular specialists Analog Haven and Noisebug (selling most products at a discount for the occasion) boosted the presence of Eurorack builders: this year there will be an entire room dedicated to the format.

A larger space will host the large format synth companies (see floorplan), where many established builders will have the opportunity to showcase their latest products.

There's a lot of curiosity, in particular, for the new ASM Hydrasynth and the EarthQuaker Devices Eurorack version of their Afterneath Reverb. Their presence at the show will represent some sort of West Coast debut. Tangible Instrument will also showcase the soon to be in production prototype of the company's new synth.

As usual, the show will feature a rich presence of pedal manufacturers. The stompbox format in recent years has developed in creative ways that have attracted the attention of the more creative synth players, with devices by companies like EarthQuaker Devices, Red Panda, Meris and Chase Bliss Audio (among others), whose effects will be represented at the LA show.

Like all the other Synth & Pedal Expos, there's no charge at the door. Here's the list of confirmed manufacturers

-CALC- The Hungarians - Novation Summit Bi-Timbral Polysynth fooling around with some friends

Uploaded on Sep 20, 2019 -CALC-

"A petite jamette using the Novation Summit.
My prototype unit went to Budapest for some video work and came back with an absolutely killer patch on it. I really wanted to use it and so I came up with this track. (thanks to Yank, Imre and Chromasound!!!)

Here I'm recording Summit's Part B sequence into some flex machines on the OT and then noodling around with a sequence sent to Summit from Circuit.

The Circuit Mono Station chirps up and is set up with a random sequence, thats then sent through the Otobit Jnr pedal.... I LOVE THAT THING.

Towards the end theres a little bit of keys playing to fill the sound out
Octatrack is simply looping the Summit (in reverse) and delivering a rather nice beat.
The (borrowed) Roland TR 08 is thumping it's kick out every so often too. I didn't think I'd like that box quite as much as I do too. For 808 duties its great.
The little mixer to the right of Summit is the excellent Aux expander called 4Mul from Syntherjack, thats really useful too.

Hope you enjoy it

Looping delay courtesy of Disting Mk4. Sporadic bells from Plaits.
Two voices from the ContinuuMini, one sampled on the fly to make a vocal-like pad, the other to give the lead.

There is a lot of low end texture to the SWN component so use headphones or good speakers if you want to hear it."

"ARP Omni 2 analog synthesizer from the late 70s. String sections, poly synth section, and mono synth bass section all working and sounding great. Pretty versatile and fun synthesizer, classic ARP string and synth sounds, chorus, phaser etc. A.K.A. The Joy Division keyboard :)

This one has been serviced and re-capped (all upper and lower voice board tantalums replaced, and power supply filter caps replaced). There are some signs of it's age on the top of the case (see pics), and like any 40+ year old synthesizer it will probably need care over time, but it sounds great and is fully functional."

Genoqs Nemo black edition SN B013

via this auction

"Brand new and very rare 30 pieces. used it less than 5 times and stay in a box in good condition in a room

Number #B013

• 64 pages (patterns).

• Four tracks per page, with 16 steps each.

• Four concurrent pages (ie. 16 concurrent tracks).

• Control over velocity, pitch, length and start points, MIDI channel and MIDI Continuous Controller data for each track.

• Individual and editable runtime directions for each track.

• Polyphonic steps of up to seven notes (*chords or multi-trigger).

• Track self-modulation, via step events.

• Cross-modulation of tracks (via the Effector).

• 32 MIDI channels via two dedicated MIDI ports.

*Each step can hold a seven‑note chord, recorded in real time or entered manually, but there are restrictions caused by the way data is displayed. Genoqs represent note values by LED colours, and just three colours are available. This translates to a three‑octave span for the notes of your chord (each octave gets its own colour) and means each note can only be used once. Still, chords are a major plus, and a strumming feature can be used to break up the chord rhythmically, in an upwards or downwards direction."

Lorn - Acid Rain | Modular patch on Endorphin.es Shuttle System

Published on Sep 20, 2019 TheEndorphines

"Meanwhile the heat wave has passed and the rainy season is just around the corner, we decided to create a patch based on one of our office favourites - Acid Rain by Lorn.
In this patch we are using Roli Seaboard Block to play the melody and change its timbre using different MPE data, including 1v/oct pitch cv merged with with 2 octaves pitchbender, gate output, velocity, aftertouch and the horizontal axis movement.As a sound source we are using the Furthrrrr Generator output of the carrier oscillator into a series of 24db/oct Transistor Ladder filters, one of which is being controlled by Grand Terminal’s envelope that is being triggered by gate from the Shuttle Control.Additionally the final audio is fed through a Hall reverb, which makes the overall sound smoother and more distant. Velocity, aftertouch and axis movements are controlling the wave shape of the carrier oscillator, giving the sound more room to breathe and more of an organic feel.

Moog Matriarch Delay Comparison: Matriarch, MF 104m and Moog 500 series analog delay
