Zenith Vol 3 - Patches 33 to 64 - Novation PEAK/Summit.

video upload by GEOSynths

"Out Soon...

Here I demonstrate Patches 33 to 64 (of 128)

It's been a while since I sat down with the Novation PEAK and decided to make Zenith Vol 3, which also works for the Novation Summit. Again, another 128 Patches, however with Vol 2 I concentrated on using the additional Wavetables for the Patches, so had a more "Digital" edge, however with Vol 3, I've just made Patches that I want to hear, play and put into Music.

There's Analog Pads, Poly's, lots of Motion Pads and Stringers. Plenty of Bass & Lead and some beautiful Digital Soundscapes. All 128 Patches have Animate Buttons assigned, often to multiple parameters, as well as Aftertouch and Mod Wheel.

They are compatible with the latest Firmware from Novation (V2.1)"

Complex Waves of the SSF Zephyr

video upload by Patchwerks

"In this video resident expert Steven Ly demonstrates the SSF Zephyr complex oscillator.

Get yourself the SSF Zephyr here: https://bit.ly/ssf_zephyr

Zephyr is a bit of a mashup of the excellent trackability and octave switching found in the Spectrum VCO and the complex waveform generation of the Zero Point Oscillator along with some additional unique features to create a powerful analog VCO.

TLN 712 Doomsday Machine

Demo # 1 video upload by Lower West Side Studio

"Demonstration of the Tellun Corporation TLN-712 Doomsday Machine module. This version of the TLN-712 is in MU format and is built by Lower West Side Studio.

The TLN-712 is a wave shaping module containing 4 voltage controlled LFOs and 2 separate wave shapers. It can enhance, modify and destroy sound.

In this video 2 triangle waves are fed into the Cascading Biogenic Pulse section of the module. It's quite awesome.

For more information visit Lower West Side Studio - https://richsstudioproject.wpcomstagi..."

The TLN-712 Doomsday Machine designed by The Tellun Corporation combines 4 voltage controlled Low Frequency Oscillators with 2 Waveform Animators. Combined together this incredible module can produce or mangle waveforms allowing you to create some incredible audible experiences.

The TLN-712 Doomsday Machine is a voltage controlled waveform animator for modular synthesizers.

Originally conceived as two separate modules, the TLN-712 comprises two different animation circuits and four voltage-controlled LFOs (low frequency oscillators).

The first animator (Thalaran Radiation Emitter) is based on the Multi-Phase Waveform Animator by Bernie Hutchins.

The second animator (Cascading Biogenic Pulse) is based on the Pulse Width Multiplier by Craig Anderton. Both circuits require several modulation sources in order to generate their animation effect.

The four built-in LFOs provide the necessary modulation without the need for external modules. Patch points are included for external modulation, if desired.

Features:

Four modulation sources. Each source has an OFFSET pot to set the initial modulation point, a MOD input jack with attenuator to allow for external control of modulation, and an internal LFO. All four modulation sources are internally connected to both animators.

Each internal LFO has a RATE pot, an LED to provide visual indication of the rate, and a DEPTH pot to set the amount of LFO fed to the animators. Each LFO has a 10 Vpp triangle wave output that is available for external use. Internally, each LFO provides a sine wave to the two animators.

The rate and depth of all LFOs can be changed en masse using the EXT RATE and EXT DEPTH jacks and attenuators. Use these with your keyboard control voltage, modulation wheel, or foot pedal to control the speed and depth of animation.

The Thalaran Radiation Emitter has one input jack (IN A) and three output jacks (SAW, TRI, STEP). A sawtooth wave is normally applied to IN A, but sine or triangle waves can also be used (almost any waveform except pulse waves will produce some kind of useful output). With a sawtooth input, the SAW output comprises the input signal plus four phase shifted versions of the input signal (sounds like five sawtooth waves). The phase shift is controlled by the four modulation sources. The TRI output provides a similar effect but with five triangle waves. The STEP output is a bizarre staircase waveform where the depth of each step is controlled by the four modulation sources.

The Cascading Biogenic Pulse has two input jacks (IN B and AUX) and four output jacks (PULSE 1-4). A triangle wave is normally applied to IN B, but sine or sawtooth waves can also be used (almost any waveform except pulse waves will work). The four PULSE outputs produce an intense pulse width modulation (PWM) effect with single, double, triple, and quadruple pulses appearing at outputs 1-4 respectively. Think of it as PWM on steroids. The PWM effect is controlled by the four modulation sources. The AUX input can be used to provide an additional level of animation, or to cascade two TLN-712s to get even more intense PWM, or to provide a cross-product effect.

All inputs and outputs are DC-coupled. Either animator can be used to produce strangely wonderful waveforms for modulating other signals. The Cascading Biogenic Pulse can even be used to generate rhythmic gates and triggers.

All inputs and outputs handle 10 Vpp audio signals and 5 volt control voltage signals (modular standard).

Hainbach - Syn-Ket Studien (Full Album)

video upload by HAINBACH

"My album "SYN-KET STUDIEN" as it was recorded at the Museo Del Synth Marchegiano. Pre-order one of the limited run vinyl now or buy the digital: https://hainbach.bandcamp.com/album/s..."

"Syn-Ket Studien (German for „study“) is as much an exploration as its a love letter. When I tried to coax music from this wonderful but not always perfectly working instrument, I was under the spell of the beautiful Marche region and the hospitality I encountered at the Museo. The album cover by Zé Burnay reflects that - the countryside and culture frames the session.

Having only a few days with the Syn-Ket, I needed to work effectively. I decided it would be the tempo that would guide my interaction with the instrument. By setting the speeds of the modulators first I learned quickly what the instrument could do and what I could do with it. Every piece is the result of a learning curve, the struggle of playing an undocumented instrument and the joy of its incredible rich and powerful sound.

At home in my Berlin studio I left the sound as raw and unedited as made sense musically, adding only a touch ambience with an old stereo spring reverb."

Hainbach, Berlin, 2022

A Short History of The Syn-Ket

"The Syn-Ket is a truly exceptional instrument: developed in Italy at the same time that Robert Moog and Don Buchla set out to write instrument history, Paolo Ketoff created what is probably the first portable synthesizer.
Born from the experience of making the huge Fonosynth and inspired by the works of Harald Bode, Ketoff worked closely with musicians and composers of the American Academy of Rome (John Eaton, Bill Smith) to create an electronic instrument that would allow live performances without tape playback.
Shunning mass production, the Syn-Ket was only produced in nine custom pieces, starting in 1963, all tailored to the musician that ordered it. And those lucky few got a lot, despite the compact size: three voices with tube oscillators, two filters and an LFO, an octave filter bank and three output modulators (a mixture of LFO/Envelope/VCA). All is controlled by a very expressive three row pressure sensitive keyboard.
It found widespread use in Italian movies of the times. Little wonder, as one Syn-Ket was famously owned by Ennio Morricone"

Moog MicroMoog

via this auction

"This MicroMoog was recently serviced and is in great functional shape. It is quite good cosmetically as well - please see pics for condition. These underrated synths offer a benefit that the celebrated MiniMoog can't: cross-modulation of the filter (similar to the effects in Kraftwerk's "Antenna," a recording which to me sounds likely that the Micro is used for the bass as well). The oscillator can be doubled one octave lower, or two higher. Perhaps best of all, you also get the famous Moog filter!
The previous owner informed me that this may have had faux-wood stickers on the sides at one point. While I can't verify this, I am passing this info along and pricing it accordingly. Regardless, it looks sharp, and this does not affect it sound-wise."
