Miles Away: Why I Love the Sequential OB-6

video by Miles Away

"Over the last several years, the prevailing mentality in synthesizer design has been 'more features = better'. The Sequential OB6 is a synthesizer that follows a much different mantra for development, one of 'character over features'. After 2 months of learning this synth inside and out, I'm finally ready to talk about it with you. Get the tissue box ready, this synth hits you in the feels."

2 Hours of DANISH NOISE! [4K] -- Relax, Study, Meditate, Sleep -- Gotharman's ASMR Synthesizer #TTNM​

video by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Relax, meditate, spaze out, study or fall asleep easily to this Danish meditation noise. Simply put on your headphones, close your eyes and chill to the soothing sounds of filtered noise.

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

Filtered noise from Denmark has been extensively used to make humans (and cats) fall asleep since the advent of analog synthesizer circuits. These marvellous analog noise generators capture cosmic rays and channel them onto the human brain wave spectrum, sending us messages form far away worlds, full of calm and happiness. Let this cosmic hygge flow into your mind and transcend into to astral plane!

Two hours of Danish noise per day are enough to make you feel better in your body, lose those pesky pounds and become a successful businessman or businesswoman (also in bed!). *

It's all you need to get healthy and make your cat stop scratching you! Meows all the way from now on! It's easy! Danish Noise! Listen now! Spread the Love! Love yourself! Watch your HeadSpaze!"

Gotharman's SpazeDrum // Acid Techno (with circuit-bent video glitches) #TTNM​

video by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"I've been listening to Acid again lately and thought I'd try that out on Gotharman's SpazeDrum drum synth/groovebox! More info below =)

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

Gotharman's SpazeDrum is an analog-digital hybrid drum synth, on which you can create your own drum sounds from scratch or import your own samples. Because it's a true synthesizer, you can also create bass lines on it and sequence them melodically, even if that's not necessarily the machine's focus. It's still heaps of fun though! In this video I've tried to get an Acid Techno sound. Of course the SpazeDrum uses other analog circuitry than Roland's classic TB-303 and TR-808 or 909, so it's a very different sound, but I think you can still get some cool and crunchy Acid tones out of this unique Danish groovebox.

AE Modular QUANTIZER - Rhythm Generator Demo #TTNM​

video by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"A short demo video showing how you can use the tangible waves AE Modular QUANTIZER module as a beat machine :D More info below!

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

The QUANTIZER module not only quantizes four CV signals into a musical 1V/Oct pitch scale, but it also comes with trigger outputs. Each of those output fires when a new note step is reached. By sending an LFO at different amplitudes into the QUANTIZER channels, you can thus create strange but repeating rhythms."

- LMNC's Big Button sequencer: https://www.lookmumnocomputer.com/pro...​
- Drum samples on six ATtiny85 chips - using Jan Ostman's Drum Creator tool: http://synthworks.eu/attiny85-drum-cr...
- MFOS Ultra-simple Mono-in Panning Mixer: http://musicfromouterspace.com/analog...

I've added inserts to the first 3 channels of the mixer to allow FX send and return

I also wired up the big button for afterlife's MIDI upgrade: [video here] ..but it doesn't seem to behave well with this build so currently I've got the original code installed on the arduino until I resolve the issue

Sequential Circuits Prophet VS with RAM Cartridge & Owners Manual

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

via this auction

"The Sequential Circuits Prophet VS - Analog-Ddigital Hybrid version of the famous Prophet 5, featuring a vector joystick for controlling sound modeling... [the following appears to be pulled from this Perfect Circuit article]
'Chris Meyer, the conceptual creator of the Prophet VS, states that the "Eureka" moment that led to the Prophet VS emerged from a conversation about the PPG Wave—while drawing an explanation of the Wave's interpolation method, it occurred to him that waveshapes could be interpolated in two dimensions. That is to say—rather than fading constantly between two waves on opposite ends of a spectrum, it could be possible to have a diamond shape with different waves at each corner, and to traverse seamlessly between the four in order to create a wealth of timbral variety from only a handful of distinct shapes. Meyer went on to test his hypothesis on his personal modular synthesizer, using a huge number of resources to manage the two-dimensional crossfading he sought—but his experiment was successful. And though the name did not emerge until later, this is when Vector Synthesis was born.

And while this reduction of the technique may seem straightforward, managing the continuous blending between four sound sources requires a lot of resources: in the analog world, it would require VCAs whose levels change in tandem with one another—an effect that would require tons of offsets, polarizers, and signal multiples (let alone patch cables) in order to work. The genius of the Prophet VS lies not only in its embrace of novel sound design...it also lies in its remarkable vocabulary of modulation sources, and their relationship to the core idea of two-dimensional waveshaping.'"

New podcast from supporting members, The Galaxy Electric. Gear talk at 9:40, and 01:04:14 on Sun Ra's visit to the Moog factory back in the day. Sun Ra famously had the Minimoog Model B prototype. See this post for an interview with Sun Ra from 1971.

"Thanks for joining us for Episode 2 of the Cosmic Tape Music Club monthly Podcast! Join your hosts Jacqueline and Augustus of the experimental pop band The Galaxy Electric as they get cosmic on the topic of Sun Ra and his Arkestra band. In short he was a being that claimed he was from the planet Saturn. He was an avid reader and enthusiast of music instrument technology, as well as a virtuosic band leader, composer and pianist/keyboardist. We share all sorts of facts starting with his early life, his alien abduction, the various locations he lived and conducted the band from, his journey through being an early adopter of many different keyboards and synthesizers like the Moog Minimoog and Yamaha DX-7 (to name a few), his mystic ethos, and much much more!

Dark Noisy & Glitchy Drone Texture with DIY Neutral Labs Elmyra Synthesizer (Feat Empress Zoia)

video by Sound Provider

"On this small demo I did an Ambient Drone with the Elmyra from Neutral Labs, the Elmyra is a quite noisy but fun and cheap Diy digital/analog hybrid drone synthesizer with a digital delay.

Elmyra is based on the Adafruit ItsyBitsy M0 Express microcontroller. Its 10-bit audio resolution already gives it a wonderfully gritty sound, and this circuit adds some nasty analog distortion to it.

For the video in addition to the delay included in the Synth, I also added a bit of reverb with the Zoia From Empress Effects , the patch I used is the "1978 plate A" from Christopher H. M. Jacques which you can download for free here if you have the Zoia : https://patchstorage.com/1978-plate-a...​

Baseck - “Up for Air” - Make Noise Strega & Morphagene

video by baseck

"In this piece all sound is sourced from Make Noise’s Strega. No external fx.

The percussion was made from putting an envelope into Strega and sampled into the Morphagene, then a melodic line was added over that. The percussion trigger sequence was mult’d and sent to Maths. An envelope from Maths is ran into Morphagenes SOS cv input crossfading between the melodic line of Strega and the percussive samples which created a side chain like effect.

Sequenced from Varigate 8+ and Voltage Block."

VECTOR Get's a Firmware Update

via VECTOR SYNTH:

Dear Operators,

Some say we live in a golden age of hardware synthesizers. So many opportunities to play exciting new devices with different concepts, such incredible, ever growing communities enabling and creating the right environment for experimentation, discovery and innovation.

Five years ago, we embarked on a journey to build a different synthesizer. A synthesizer to break comfort zones. A synthesizer which doesn’t use a touch interface and fluid visuals as gimmicks, but has them right at the core — a true bridge between the theater of the mind and sound waves.

Along the way we tried to question many assumptions. Many of those turned out to be useful customary conveniences, but many others simply obstacles of the past. We believe it is time to cherish the old, and embrace the new.

System80 Introduces 860 MK2

via System80

"The System80 860MK2 is a 10 HP updated version of our popular JOVE filter. It is a Eurorack interpretation of the multi-mode filter found in the Roland Jupiter-6, a 1980s analogue polysynth.

The 860 MK2 replaces both the 14 HP JOVE and the 8 HP 860 MK1. It has been updated and improved in several ways, including memory recall of the filter mode, a quad OTA filter core, internal voltage references, a fully attenuated 2 input audio mixer, and a steel back cover.

Features

4 modes: 24 dB low pass, 12 dB low pass, band pass and high pass
Filter mode recalled between power cycles
2 input audio mixer
2 frequency CV inputs, one bipolar and one unipolar
1 resonance CV input, non-attenuated"

Analogue Solutions Colossus and Vintage Synth Jamming

video by

"I connected Colossus to a few vintage synth friends and this was the first little spontaneous live jam. This isn't a mixed track, but a live recorded, improvised, dawless session.

Colossus is sequencing and clocking the other synths (ARP 2600 kick, Roland 100m noise sequence, Pro-One bass) and is providing the remainder of the sound palette.

Colossus loves to interface with other CV gear (Eurorack modular, vintage synths, modern CV synths, CV sequencers and interfaces, etc.) and is a lovely hands-on console, providing you tight musical control of your other gear

I may make another one of these, we'll see. ⚡️

first Sequence made with the Korg NTS-1, sequenced on the Korg Sq-64 and added some delay with the Strymon Volante

Drums made with the Yocto 8080 send through the Sherman 2x2 with some reverb on the Snare added from the TC-M3000

The later appearing sequence is from the Roland Cloud System-100, wich sounds really analog …also added Sherman Drive and Tape-Echo

The Strymon Volante is really the best Tape-Simulation out there.
The Korg Sq-64 is a quite capable sequencer . I’m not so happy that saving projects requires additionally a proper shutdown of the device. And creating/changing longer notes is a bit complicated … considering they call it polyphonic sequencer.

I love the TC-M3000 .. the reverb sounds very natural. It’s great for everything where you want to recognize the original sound and don’t smear everything with a cloud of reverb.

I was very surprised how well the Roland Cloud plugins sound. Especially the SH-2 and System-100."

No narration or commentary, just me waving my hands around and listening to the funny sounds that come out. Probably more of a record for posterity than anything else...."
