Four Voice Behringer Model D in the Works?

Oh, one One more thing... Published on Nov 22, 2019 BEHRINGER

D.. D.. D.. Duh!

WARP DRIVE!!!

Your guess is as good as mine, but no offense to synth manufacturers out there, please, please get over the four voice thing. Five voices should be the bare minimum if not six imo. Four is just a voice stealing nightmare. I picked up a four voice Roland SH-01A thinking four voices of SH-101 is better than 1. I couldn't take it and I sold it. Yes I could just play it monophonically, but that defeated the whole four voice thing. If it were six voices I would have kept it, but that's just me, and you are you.

"8 voice rackmount monster analog poly synth. This was originally the standard Omega 8 which I had factory updated to the CODE 8 spec and faceplate, along with the OD (overdrive/analog distortion) switch in addition to a factory tuneup and eight CS80 filters (Oberheim and Moog filters also include standard). Works perfectly and sounds amazing. Faceplate is mint, body casing has some rack rash, scratches and a dent, none of which are visible when rack mounted."

Todd Barton - Start From Silence

"I'm so excited that this album is now out! Last month I met Nathan Moody in person for the first time. He dropped by my place on his way to do a talk and performance at Velocity in Seattle. After just a few hours together my friend, Bruce Bayard came by and we three decided to jam. Nathan had a cool field recorder that he setup and recorded us all in the room. The jam turned out to be sonic serendipity, a rare conjunction of modular planets. I hope you enjoy it . . .

"Recorded live in Ashland, Oregon, “Start from Silence” captures three masters of West Coast analogue synthesis performing with a focus on reciprocal listening and improvised expression.

Todd Barton, Bruce Bayard, and Nathan Moody combine a unique set of unusual instruments into a journey in tone, gesture, and sound. The aural dynamics were made in response only to the sounds, breaths, and movements of each performer. The music ranges from ambient to intense, gliding from amorphous to structured with bubbling streams of energy and contemplative drones that guide the listener throughout. The recording purposefully contains the artists’ breaths and movements, lending verisimilitude, presence, and authenticity to this organic performance.

The artists hadn’t played together before this recording, making the emergent soundscapes and sonic exploration all the more stunning…yet perhaps unsurprising, given the their combined 70+ years of composition and performing experience.

Cosmotronic Delta-V Dual Amped Function Generator 1/2: envelope & LFO (LMS EE)

Published on Nov 22, 2019 Learning Modular

Part 2 is further below.

"The Cosmotronic Delta-V is a dual Attack/Decay envelope generator/slew with built-in VCAs and a number of other nicely thought-out features including Shape, End of Cycle trigger, looping, output attenuverters, and voltage control of the Attack and Decay times.

This video focuses on the envelope & slew generator portion of the Delta-V:

00:00 overview
00:32 Attack/Decay envelopes
01:10 Shape control
02:11 relationship between A & D shapes
03:16 output attenuverters
03:50 voltage controlled A & D times
04:50 slew generator
07:06 looping envelopes (LFO mode)
07:54 End of Cycle for a complex LFO
10:00 layering envelopes together
11:13 EOC for chaining envelopes together

The second movie demonstrates a number of applications for having a combined envelope generator and VCA, including modulating a filter with enveloped noise, creating percussive voices, enveloped FM depth, and delayed LFOs for tremolo.

My Patreon supporters have access to an additional post further discussing these features: https://www.patreon.com/LearningModular

This movie is also part of the extended Eurorack Expansion course available through Learning Modular: https://learningmodular.com/register/...

FTC Disclosure: Cosmotronic sent me this module at no charge so I could make an application video showing how handy it is to have an EG and VCA in the same module. But I was so excited about the EG side of this module, that I created this additional video showing its those features."

"Preview of the presets from the 'Warped Vinyl' soundset for FXpansion Strobe 2

https://soundsdivine.com/product/stro...

#roli #strobe2 #presets"

‘Warped Vinyl’ contains 100 sounds for FXpansion Strobe 2

These patches are designed to sound old & worn out. This soundset tries to emulate the sound of classic analog polysynths like the Korg Polysix & Yamaha CS-70 through cheap 90s reverbs and old analog delays pedals and tape machines.

Making full use of Strobe 2’s Transmod system, these sounds are dynamic and expressive with extensive mod wheel and aftertouch assignments for each patch.

‘Warped Vinyl’ features a variety of different presets, including, BoC style synth sounds, CS-80 brass sounds, dusty old pads, noisy space echo fx, drifty tremolo pads, old organ sounds, distorted electric pianos and much more.

Shakmat releases the Gemini's Path

Uploaded on Nov 21, 2019 Shakmat Modular

A compact and creative tool for dynamics and stereo duties

The Gemini's Path is the 9th module released by Shakmat. This newcomer is a hybrid analog/digital stereo sound processing device which can shapeshift into an expander, compressor, auto panner & much more!
3 modules in 1

The Gemini's Path, despite its small size, is actually a mix of three modules : a pair of VCAs (That Corp branded for low distorsion & low noise) driven by a dual modulation source, that is excited by the trigger detector which extracts triggers from the input signals or an external / side chain input.

What it does

Since the modulation source delivers different types of modulation, the Gemini's Path offers lots of different application possibilities, such as:

• Expander: with decay or hold control

• Pump: compressor like device with adjustable release time (also with a unique release shape)

• Panner: sine panner, random panner or triggered panner

• Granuliser: chops the signal into small bits & spread them in the stereo field

• VCAs: stereo VCAs with volume and panning control.
Or two independent VCAs

Simple and intuitive interface
Our main goal was to create a compact, polyvalent and easy peasy to use module. Besides its capabilities, the module has a minimal user interface and gives instant results in all its applications : choose a mode, set the threshold and have fun with the two big knobs. And of course, bring the Gemini's Path in communication with the rest of your modular thanks to the CV inputs.

Stereo or dual mono
The Gemini's Path allows linked or independant control over two channels and can therefore be used as two mono units (with different modes on each channels). Think dual mono side chain compressor, out of phase tremolos for more stereo weirdness, a trigger that expands the drums and makes the bass pump, dual decay on VCAs for drum synthesis, triggered crossfader when mixing the outputs,…

"This is a chance to buy an extremely rare, highly collectable Jomox Sunsyn in nearly new condition. This synth, bought directly from Jomox has been in a smoke free recording studio and has rarely been used. It's a truly amazing synth with an incredibly full and powerful sound which didn't fit into the style of music I was eventually making so has spent much of its time stored in its original box. I'm loathe to give this up but accept it's time to let go of this fabulous machine so another owner can put this to better use.

Only around 200 of these synths were ever made and very rarely come up for sale.

*Note that this is the original system software version 1


Specifications

Polyphony - 8 voices (4- and 6- voice models available too)
Oscillators - 2 VCOs per voice; waveforms: saw, square, pulsewidth. 2 RCOs per voice (digital waveforms that follow the analog oscillators)
LFO - 2 per voice; triangle, sawtooth up/down, rectangle and random waveforms
Filter - 4-pole with HP/LP switching for each pole; analog morphing between two filter setups.
Effects - None
Keyboard - None
Memory - 350 Single / 150 Multi / 4 wavesets; 1 PCMCIA card slot for waves and sounds"

13 keys, 1/4 inch output with germany power plug. This is a very rare and unique piece of gear, a vintage find! All analogue old school synth sound. Similar to the Moog taurus pedals. I ran it through a few FX pedals (the line 6 FM4 turned this into a full blown 70's synthesizer) to achieve a foot controled synth.

There are 2 octave ranges. The keys go from C to C (13 pedals, 1 octave). the footswitches are for: sustain, tuning, volume, low octave, high octave, reed or string tone, power."

ALFA RPAR AS3350D Voltage Controlled State Variable Filter In Production

For the DIYers out there.

"#AS3350D - dual voltage controlled state variable filter (SOIC-16) in production. Datasheet will be updated later."

Until then here's some info on the AS3350:

"The AS3350 is a dual voltage controlled state-variable filter intended for electronic musical instruments and other signal processing applications. Each filter provides both voltage control of center/cut-off frequency over more than 12 octaves and voltage control of Q from 1/2 to greater than 40. All control scales are exponential, allowing for easier control of the parameters over their wide range. Although the two filters are completely independent, they may be easily interconnected to form a wide variety of filter responses.

Making the trance leads on Endorphin.es Shuttle System

Published on Nov 22, 2019 TheEndorphines

"Today we have a perfect rave lead recipe for you. The secret of this patch is in the filter section of grand terminal as well as squawk dirty filter. First, we have a 24db low pass filter, which is then followed by a comb filter in serial mode. Comb filter modulated by an AD envelope is the magic component of this sound, highlighting harmonics and adding a spread like fx to the original waveform.

miRack iOS modular synth patchstorage.com sounds demo by Roikat

Published on Nov 22, 2019 Roikat

"Demo of free sounds for the miRack modular synthesizer iOS app available at https://patchstorage.com/author/roikat/

The demo starts with some wind sounds and drones. At 1:27 it shifts to allegedly more 'musical' sequences.

Other apps used included Cubasis and Final Touch. 4Pockets Shimmer and Visual Reverb were combined for reverb. The drone patch was made into a sampled instrument in AudioLayer.

Some of the patches in the video include modules that have been discontinued. The patches I post to patchstorage.com won't suffer from this. The removal of the Fundamental (Basics) modules blew up the first 30 patches I had created. Fortunately, the developer has added over 100 new modules to the app since then, so I can't complain too much."
