Commando - on Syntakt (C64 SID chiptune recreated)

video upload by tubesockor

"I recreated the title music of 'Commando', the Commodore 64 game from 1985 - on an Elektron Syntakt. To do this I reverse engineered the 6510 assembly code of Rob Hubbard's driver and analysed the SID chip timings in extreme detail, in order to emulate it as close as possible on the Syntakt.
Just like the SID chip on the C64, I'm only using three monophonic channels.
Some text on the process and inner workings of SID tunes on Commodore 64 is available as well.
Sound is taken directly from the Syntakt’s outputs."

MOOG MATRIARCH | INVENTIO

video upload by SONICrider "Sound & Vision Lab"

"Inventio is the start of the Moog Matriarch exploration.

Beside using an expression pedal controlling the filter most knobs are fixed.

Going over some of the Matriarch features such as the arp, hold, voices, sync the piece is played in one go.

A bit mastering and adding some reverb (Lexicon 224) keeps the recording pure.

Enjoy!!"

Moog Mavis Solo

video upload by SONICrider "Sound & Vision Lab"

"'Can Mavis replace a Mother 32?'

A while ago my Moog Mother 32 got united with the DFAM and Subharmonicon: aka the Moog Sound Studio 3 (sold 1 by 1 and now together in a customized case).

So who could replace the Mother 32, well Mavis can.....

Mavis has less features as the Mother 32, on the other hand the extra features Mavis has (sample & hold, wave shaping, morphing between waves and the modulation options) makes this module capable of almost any task.

This 'Moog Mavis Solo' is a short live captured improvisation using the Koma Elektronik 'Komplex Sequencer' as CV source for pitch and gate. The sequences has the option repeat enabled = when a step is 'mutes' the last note played repeats until a new step gets triggered, this way a sequence keeps the same length."

Buchla Chapter 1 - Music For Peace

video upload by SONICrider "Sound & Vision Lab"

"Chapter one in the Buchla story 'Music For Peace'.

While exploring the first 2 TipTop Audio Buchla Modules (Dual Oscillator Model 258t and Quad Function Generator 281t) in combination with the Soma Lyra FX and the ADDAC 112 3 kind of layers were created:
- The original Buchla sound,
- Granulated parts of that Buchla sound,
- Distored Buchla with some feedback (Lyra FX).

The approach/steps of the arrangement:
- Both Buchla VCO out via a mixer to control level.
- Lyra FX only (input Puchla VCO).
- Manual trigger channel 1 of the Function Generator
- Add 'light' 112 'Buchla sound.
- Drive volume both VCO's.
- Fade out Lyra FX
- Activate Function Generator
- Maximize VCO volume.
- Manual alter channel 2 of the Function Generator (controlling channel 1).
- Building up tension.
- Going back step by step.
- Add Lyra FX 'distortion' and feedback.
- 112 layer low sometimes into the twilight zones.

Enjoy 'Music For Peace'"

VintageRack - A brief demo of presets construction

video upload by Igor Vasiliev

"VintageRack (iOS, macOS, AUv3) is a minimalistic and convenient multi-effect application that contains modules realistically simulating notable retro gear from the early digital age with their natural lo-fi and warm aesthetics. Most of the effects in this application have been inspired and based on the principles of actual hardware from the 70s and 80s, which is great for giving the sound of any instrument the nostalgic and emotional mood of old recordings.

JKJ cv-5 MIDI to CV converter v/oct and hz/volt

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

via this auction

"One JKJ CV-5 midi to CV converter, built by Kyle Jarger with documentation.
The CV-5 is a pretty amazing box relative to off the shelf units these days. Note the front panel says CV-4 but it is a CV-5 internally. Kyle built this for me and was out of CV-5 panels

It is switchable between volts/octaveHz/volt. It can be calibrated to any voltage steps you want (within reason)

It offers 1 MIDI IN and MIDI THRU with several modes for the 6 output jacks.
It has:
CV/OUT
GATE AND 2/TRIG OUT ON A TRS JACK

It offers:
10 ways to control the LFO
13 ways to control the LFO wave form (it's not syncable totally, but you can restart the lfo shape based on tempo
9 choices for LFO sync to clock
can send pitch to filter jack
3 choices on portamento
4 pitch bend depth choices
4 ways to route velicity
8 ways to route velocity
7 destinations for CC1
5 choices for CC4 destinations
3 ways for note priority
7 MIDI Note ranges (5 octaves)
2 ways to rout out of range notes
2 ways to control gatesw/triggers
7 system controls, to lock, save, resett, return to default, disaable/enable changes
4 operating modes
7 seq clock modes
enable or disable 2nd MIDI channel
10 hardwired CC assignments

It has DIN Sync out

EVEN MORE FUN IS MONO AUDIO IN to STEREO out and the ability to control pan position using MIDI CC controller.

Runs on any 9-12VDC 100ma pos-tip wall wart You supply that

The only quirk is that CC values are 0-126 not 1-127 which means that for most MIDI controllers you have to round down by one number to send it what you expect."

Note the video above is a demo I found and not the one listed below. The Hohner Symphonic 30N was actually used by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones as pictured in this previous post.

via this auction

"If You want an 'stand-out' organ that is awesome looking, cool sounding and like none other money can find - You have found it. The Hohner Symphonic 30N is what You need.

You can create very unique organ sounds that are sounding on a brink of an analog synth. The 8 sound options that can be combined are sounding unbelievably good.

The looks of the Hohner Symphonic 30N are just pure awesomeness. It has attachable legs that are stored in the lid of the heavy duty case of the organ. That way the organ is very easy to transport.

This is a true masterpiece of German engineering. Just beautiful."

ARP Solus Analogue Synthesizer SN 2353740

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

via this auction

"Here we have an ARP Solus - model 2353 (USA/1978). Its been professionally serviced, as all Klassic Keys GB synthesizers are, and now works 100% ....condition is absolutely "as good as it gets...", runs at 120 Vac. There is one small scratch on panel (see photo). Keys are in excellent condition. This is a good-looking synthesizer, in attractive orange livery a la genuine ARP products (USA). Its well protected as it is in a proper case, with removable lid; very unusual for ARP synths! A truly undervalued synth from the last days of the ARP empire. It has an edgy, aggressive sound that can tear your head off and is especially useful for creating stinging lead lines, monstrous bass drones, otherworldly effects, and industrial-strength kling klang sounds reminiscent of Kraftwerk. Though many note its similarity to the Odyssey, its digital ring modulator, reverse envelope, variable waveform selection, and easily accessible CV patch bay really put the Solus more in 2600 territory. A little known fact: Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream used the Solus on the group's 1981 album Thief and during live performances in Berlin and London."

DF Audio MINIBAY - A desktop audio patchbay

video upload by Espen Kraft

"If you're a desktop artist looking for a way of hooking up your mixer, effects, synths and modules for fast and flexible turnaround you should check out this desktop audio patchbay called the MINIBAY.

Check out the MINIBAY here: https://www.dfaudio.com.au/

In the case of normalling/half-normalling as I mention in the video, I'd like to clarify that the DIP-switches makes it possible to individually normal the connections between the patch points in row A and row B. Half-normalling is not possible.

Support this channel on Patreon:
https://www.patreon.com/espenkraft"

MINIBAY is a compact 40-point audio patch bay, designed to integrate neatly into a studio desktop space. It utilises 1/4” stereo sockets to connect with external gear and 1/8” mono (Eurorack) sockets for routing signals. There are also two built-in passive mixers with dedicated patch-points located on the main panel.

Dimensions: 234 mm x 140 mm x 40 mm (not including sockets and feet)

Intuitive
While the ins and outs can be configured to suit your needs, the general idea is to have instruments on Row A, mixer channels on Row B, and effects hooked into the FX rows.

Reach up to the effects; reach down to the mixer.

Convenient
MINIBAY can be neatly positioned next to a mixer (or just about anywhere) for quick and easy access and reference while working.

Patch-points are spaced to allow for comfortable grip and leverage when handling cables (even for fat fingers :)

Rows A and B
For Rows A and B, each 1/4" socket on the back panel is wired to two adjacent 1/8" sockets on the main panel. 20220503_105113.jpg

FX Rows
Each 1/4" FX socket on the back panel is wired to the two corresponding 1/8" FX sockets on the main panel. One insert cable can therefore be used to connect to the input and output on an effects unit (or two cables for a stereo unit).
