The ThunderWave Ribbon Controller by The Electronic Peasant


ThunderWave Ribbon Controller Demonstration Published on May 23, 2020 epeasant


A new DIY percussion instrument in via The Electronic Peasant:

"The ThunderWave is a new type of electronic percussion instrument that you can build yourself. Instead of the traditional round drum pads, the ThunderWave uses curved ribbon controllers and force sensitive technology to create an expressive and intuitive interface that is both fun and easy to play. The instrument provides standard trigger, gate, and CV outputs, including volt/octave, for use with analog synthesizers. Each ribbon can also be divided into up to thirteen different zones, for consistent sounds using two drum sticks at slightly different positions. A 'striking force' trigger output and two force based envelope generators for each ribbon are also included. The ThunderWave is designed for the advanced DIYer, and can be built using common, easily available parts and tools.

The complete ThunderWave project can be found on the Electronic Peasant website, including detailed building guides and videos."

"The Kyra sounds excellent - the FPGA thing is obviously very good. Myself, I did expect more bottom end on it than I hear. But, then it sits in a mix and layers with other synths really well, I think. I think the high end sound is terrific..."

Yamaha AN1X Demo Filter LP&BP&HP no talking HQ Sound

Oberheim OB12 Is it just wrong?


Published on May 29, 2020 No Nag Recordings

"In this rather long video I try to demonstrate all the features of the OB12. Both it's weak spots but also it's strength's.
In my mind, it's a really good synth, well laid out and can do epic sounds. It has a lot of features that not many synth have. At least on papper. Some things just don't work. If it's because of a weak CPU or badly writen firmware, I don't know. But I just stay away from those functions instead. Just don't expect it to sound like a OB-Xa or alike. Rightly tweaked this can still sound huge and fat, quiky and mean."

---

My take: It's wrong, but a keeper. I almost gave mine up until I realized its unique charm. It's not the best sounding VA if "thick" classic analog is what you are after. The FM and Resonance can be ear splitting. The Ring Mod has a unique character. You have to be careful as subtle changes have a big impact. It's that oddball character that makes it. Yet somehow it can make some of the most lush sounding pads. It's an odd one for sure. I'm glad I kept mine in the end as it can do things other synths just can't. It's almost like they didn't fine tune or reign things in so put through proper effects you can get some real magic out of it.

WMD METRON S. Bus Tutorial - Using METRON with Malekko Voltage Block


Published on May 29, 2020 WMDevices

"WMD Metron is a 16 track Trigger and Gate sequencer with tons of deep features, real-time control, and a very easy to use interface.

METRON can be expanded to have up to 64 CV tracks as well by adding the Voltera expander (4 CV tracks per Voltera)

Metron also sends commands via S.BUS to communicate to other modules that are on the same powered bus board. These messages are MIDI program changes that are primarily used for recalling presets on other modules using the METRON interface.

In this video, Alex goes through how to set up your METRON to send these program changes to the Malleko Voltage Block, allowing you to change the Voltage Block's presets remotely and automatically from METRON. this is great for a Eurorack live performance, where you are using METRON as the master sequencer, but would like to recall presets on your voltage block. METRON's S.BUS function allows you to send multiple messages in one sequence, per variation, or per track. Eseentially treated as a 17th track, you can also change the pattern length of the S.BUS track independent of the other tracks, meaning you can have a polymetric feel to your program changes."

Friday Fun Synth Jam - Argon8, Zoom MS70 CDR, Pittsburgh 3900


Published on May 29, 2020 sonicstate

"Another in our occasional series as we head into our 3rd month of lockdown. This time we're using the Modal Electronics Argon8M with OS2.0, the Pittsburgh Modular MicroVolt 3900, the Zoom MS70 CDR Fx pedal and the ROLI Seaboard Block and the Arturia Keystep. Together with the Retrokits RK006 USB MIDI host/router.

The ROLI is driving the Argon8 via the RetroKits RK006, allowing for direct MPE connection with no computer, the Keystep is running the MicroVolt 3900 which in turn is going into the Modal stereo line in. Argon8 then goes into the Zoom and out."

Old Hohner Bassophon synthesizer "accordion" fisarmonica

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


via this auction

I believe this is the first Bassophon to be featured on the site. Looks the same as the Electronium in this demo video by Hainbach.

"It is not a typical accordion, as the sound will be produced electrical, not by reeds. It is called "Bassophon" . The case includes its loudspeaker. Please note, that it has a German plug. (Maybe I can buy for your an adapter if you need one) The instrument makes sounds on most of the keys, but needs professional service and repair. Size: approx.17inch x 14,5" x 7,5" (43/37/19cm) The instrument needs repair and cleaning"

"Red faceplate! No longer being manufactured! Like New Condition, Beautiful And Eerie Drone Synth built in an old Ammo Box..what’s not to love!

With a total of 9 knobs, the Drone Commander offers two manually-tuned oscillators and two LFOs, plus an unusually colorful and nasty filter. LFO1 is an analog variable-shape oscillator, and LFO2 is a pulse waveform that auto-synchronizes to LFO1 at a ratio of 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x. Both LFOs can be routed to the filter for rhythmic patterns. A line-level output jack is provided for connection to amplifiers or effects."

Yamaha KX5 Keytar Midi Controller with OHSC

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

via this auction

"Wow! For sale is an all original Yamaha KX5 keytar midi controller. Condition is very impressive, especially given its age. The metal housing provides a real heft unlike some of the other plastic Roland units of this era. The pitch ribbon condition is also very good. A few light scratches on the back, but nothing severe.

Tested and fully functional. Also includes extremely cool original case and very long blue midi cable. The only item worth noting is the plastic battery holster has a small crack at the end that has been repaired with a piece of tape. It works just fine, but you can easily source a replacement holster online if you'd like."
