Future-Retro VECTRA Giveaway

Future-Retro is having a drawing to give a way a VECTRA on Oct 1st.

You can find full details on how to enter on their site here: https://future-retro.com/vectra-giveaway/

"The Vectra is a unique hybrid synthesizer with a flexible architecture that allows many different forms of synthesis to be realized. It’s the best of both worlds… The Vectra utilizes digital oscillators, ring modulators, noise sources, vector mixer, LFO’s, complex envelopes, and modulation routings providing many capabilities that would be very difficult to produce with analog circuitry alone. This allows for accurate tuning, repeatability of complex patches, and patch storage. The Vectra also provides a multi-mode analog filter, VCA, and final output, as these provide the best sonic qualities.
The Vectra includes a powerful and fun sequencer and arpeggiator, with many new capabilities. Although the Vectra is a self contained instrument, MIDI can be used to interface with other devices."

You can find a few demos of the Future-Retro VECTRA in previous posts here.

New Sonic Sand Castles' Audio Enjoyer XR-1 Groovebox Sneak Peak

video upload by Sonic Sand Castles

"A test jam with the xr-1 groovebox"

xr-1 909 groove test


"Testing applying a 909-style groove/swing in varying amounts on the xr-1"

via Reddit 2 days ago:

"Hey all, this is a prototype of the xr-1, a digital drum machine, sampler, and synthesizer. It’s powered by the Teensy 4.1 microcontroller.

It’s a 909 style sequencer (a step can be off, on, or accented), with 16 banks, 16 patterns per bank, 16 tracks per pattern, and a max of 64 steps per track.

There are 4 performance modes (tap, mute, solo, ratchet) and a song arrangement mode.

It has stereo in/out (usb audio in the future). It has 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O, 4 pairs of CV/gate outputs (really 8x CV outs with 0V to +10V range).

A micro SD card is used to store/recall audio samples and project data. Samples can be mono RAW or stereo WAV files. Mono samples can be looped.

There are 16 sample voices available, and 4 voices which can be used as synthesizer voices.

I currently only have a simple 2-oscillator subtractive synthesizer right now. More will be added later.

It has a capacitive touch keyboard which is useful for assigning notes to steps, playing while jamming, performing with ratchets at various beat divisions.

Lots more details to come.

I will be demoing this at the Machina Bristronica festival in Bristol next week (flying all the way from the metro Detroit area, first time overseas). If you’re able to make it, come by booth (My business name is Audio Enjoyer) and say hi.

I will launch a signup page later this month and post here again so you can sign up for more info."

"The 4MS Ensemble Oscillator is a very unique sound source and this video was a lot of of fun to make! I'm quite certain I'll revisiting this in future videos as there's some much more sonic avenues to explore with this one. Hope you enjoy!

Can your Grandmother be a Prodigy?

See this post for details on the layoffs at Moog.

"It's got loads more functionality but has it got the raw tone? And what about playability of that infamous sync? Is it close enough or will you keep the Prodigy and get those 40 year old niggles fixed?

Oberheim Xpander w/ Xk Keyboard Controller

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

via this auction

"You know what these are. Both in excellent condition. Xpander Synth is USA model and Xk MIDI Controller is Japanese. Xpander comes with power cable. Xk comes with footswitch and power supply. This is not your modern MIDI controller, you need to program everything into it, unless you just use it as a keybed, which is how I used it. It just looks very cool together! I'll include a printed out manual for the Xk. It is complicated to program. They are both fully functional. These units were desinged to work together. This is a very rare set to be selling together!!!"

UDO SUPER 6 - Ambient Chillout Jam (Step Sequencer)

video upload by synth4ever

"UDO Super 6 ambient chillout jam using the on-board step sequencer. The UDO Super 6 is an incredible digital / analog hybrid synthesizer and the step sequencer allows for some creative patterns. In this UDO Super 6 jam I use a combo of oscillators, filter FM, LFO, resonance and digital delay to shape the sound over a repeating motif."
