Analogue Solutions Ample Desktop Synthesizer

video upload by Analogue Solutions

"Ample combines the best elements of several of our recent products.

-The sound elements of Fusebox
-Jack patch points of Concussor Eurorack
-Patch pin matrix of Vostok
-Echo from Dr Strangelove
-Sequencer and CV touch pads of Generator

It shares all this yet still has its own sound!

Ample can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be

We have given this synth a large and diverse number of controls, that alongside the patch sockets, will give even the best and most experienced synthesists endless possibilities.

We have presented the controls in a user-friendly and familiar synth layout that, together with this manual and other resources, enables even a new user to get great sounds.

SYNTH – PERCUSSION – AUDIO PROCESSOR

Ample is a compact analogue synthesizer. Analogue - as in really analogue. Aside from the MIDI chip (which has to be digital), everything else is totally analogue using real transistors and op-amps. There are no CPU stabilised and quantised circuits, no DCOs, no digital LFOs and no digital EGs, as found on other so-called analogue synths. The circuitry is based on designs dating back to the mid-1970s. So Ample has a genuine old sound."

Layering 2 JX-8P using Retroaktiv MPG-70 Controller

video upload by Retroaktiv Synthesizers

"The MPG-70 is capable of layering any combo of JX8P, MKS-70 and Super JX synths, whether stock or Vecoven modded. You can layer the synths and store their exact state as a SETUP object in the MPG-70's internal memory. You can also set up complex modulation routings, such as making the mod wheel open the filter on JX 1, while closing the filter and increasing resonance on JX 2. You can use any CC, aftertouch, foiotpedal, or the two dedicated ASSIGN controls to modulate any combo of front panel slisers you wish."

10 Distortion Techniques: Every Synth Needs This

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"Get ready for some sonic devastation as I demonstrate some of my favorite efx pedals and techniques that deliver filthy synth sounds capable of cutting through even the thickest wall of amplified guitars! I'll show you 10 different color palates with hands-on examples ranging from tasteful overdrive, distortion, fuzz all the way to full meltdown clipping. A little of these flavors added to your synthesizer instrument will help you create more inspiring sounds and also help you require less work to bring you final mixes together. I truly believe that every synth needs a drive circuit as much as it needs filters, reverbs and delays. After watching this video I hope you'll be inspired to grab some analog distortion pedals and start discovering what I did, that I can't live without them."

The First Ever all ARP 2500 Album Opens for Preorder Today on BandCamp

via the Alan R Pearlman Foundation

It's BandCamp Friday, and we have a treat for you!

The first ever all ARP 2500 album opens for preorder today on BandCamp!

Check out the album Now!

The ARP 2500 by David Baron
Distrubuted by Here & Now Recordings

About the Album:

Although it went largely unnoticed at the time, the 2500 became one of the most famous synthesizers in history when it was featured prominently in the film Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, where it was used to communicate with an alien spaceship.

ARP instruments founder Alan Robert Pearlman was a Nasa scientist. Between 1970 and 1981 only 100 ARP 2500's were ever made, each a custom order, no standard configurations. ARP 2500 one of Jean-Michel Jarre's favourite instruments. All the sounds are completely unique. You pretty much need a degree in physics to operate one!

Pete Townsend "Mine plays six notes at once, can have 20 sets of preset control voltages available, six audio signals mixed and instantly usable at various levels. The most incredibly subtle tone colours can be produced using the multimode resonator in conjunction with a normal filter, and the sequencer will provide exhilarating cascades of arpeggios."

David Baron "The Arp 2500 was the only sound source. I sequenced one or two patches at a time and then built the compositions in layers. A lot of the audio FX were created through the use of pedals. The reverberation came from the Bricasti, EMT 240 Plate, Roland Space Echo 501, and a Vermona Spring Reverb. The Arp 2500 always ran through the Avedis Key Pre. I used very little dynamic compression/limiting. Time delay effects were mostly created ‘in the box’ but also with rack mount outboard including the AMS Tape Phase Simulator, an Eventide Instant Flanger, and a MXR Flanger/Doubler. The instrument stays in tune (for the most part). The filters can distort so some care has to be used when gain staging. The envelopes are very snappy. The sound is beautiful and creamy yet percussive and forward."

About David Baron
Record producer, film composer, musician, arranger, engineer located in the historic Woodstock, New York area. An avid collector of vintage analog synthesizers and recording gear. He owns a private recording studio called Sun Mountain Studios located on top of a mountain overlooking the Ashokan Reservoir.

Synthetic Sound Labs Announces Soleil String Synth Pod & Modulation Orgy 2.0

Details on each follow. Check with the dealers on the right for availability.

TABLE-TOP MIDI STRING SYNTH POD ANNOUNCED

Inspired by the early vintage synths of the ‘70s such as the Elka Rhapsody and ARP Solina, the Soleil POD is a tiny low-cost Lo-Fi MIDI String Synth table-top box.

Capable of playing 4 paraphonic notes with 2 oscillator ranks per note. Waveforms are continuously variable from thick sawtooth thru variable pulse widths for more reedy sounds. The second rank is detunable for lush pads and honky-tonk riffs.

The Soleil contains built-in modulation / vibrato LFO, the depth of which can be controlled by MIDI. Attack and release envelope times are individually adjustable and share a single VCA making this a “paraphonic” instrument. A gate output jack allows convenient triggering of external effects and synth equipment, and its state is displayed by an LED.

MIDI is input via a 3.5mm TRS Type “A” jack, and responds to keyboard running status as well as pitch bend and modulation. An LED MIDI displays MIDI activity.

MIDI channel defaults to channel 1 but can be easily reset to other channels using a unique sequence from your controller keyboard at power-up, which is retained in non- volatile memory.

A fine tune control allows accurate tuning to other instruments, and an output volume control is provided. MIDI, Gate Out and Audio Out are standard 3.5mm (1/8”) jacks.


Power is supplied from a user provided +8 to +18 VDC 2.1mm coaxial jack, center positive power source, and draws extremely low current.

Quality, solder masked, fiberglass-epoxy printed circuit boards and meticulous hand- crafted assembly assure years of trouble-free service.

Synthetic Sound Labs has been in the analog synthesizer business since 1973. The Soleil Pod is the newest in SSL’s continuing line of outstanding analog synthesizer devices.

Pricing is $179.95 US and is available off-the-shelf from SSL and Distributors Worldwide.

UPDATED LFO MODULE ANNOUNCED

Just over 10 years after the release of its popular original 2260 Modulation Orgy LFO, Synthetic Sound Labs have recently released an updated and improved version.

The new 2261 Modulation Orgy has completely reimagined firmware that includes improvements such as waveform morphing and random wave slew. The new module width is now only 8 HP (half the width of its 16 HP predecessor) and is available with either black or silver faced panels.

DETAILS

The 2261 Modulation Orgy is a unique Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) that offers unmatched modulation flexibility. It features both manual and external voltage control over LFO Tempo (speed), tempo Multiplier, Waveform and Waveform Distortion.

Eight Waveforms are produced, including Sawtooth, Ramp, Rectangle, Triangle, Sine, Sweep, Lumps and Random with morphing between adjacent waves. Waveforms may be further modified using the Wave Distort controls.

A front panel button or external Sync input allow synchronization to precise multiples of the musical beat permitting timed vibratos, tremolos, and clocking of external sequencers and sample & hold type devices. Multiple 2261s may also be cascaded to provide complex polyrhythmic modulation patterns, which is aided by use of the Clock output jack. The Clock output also serves as a powerful input clock multiplier.

In conjunction with the Multiplier controls, LFO Tempo (frequency) is adjustable from approximately 0.1Hz to about 50Hz in six overlapping tempo ranges.

The external Level CV input responds linearly and is normalled internally to +5V so that with no input, the 2261 outputs are at maximum. This convenient input can frequently save a separate VCA when doing voltage-controlled modulation depth.


A panel LED / push button shows the LFO output rate. Knobs are conveniently placed and top quality 1/8” jacks permit smooth, effortless patching.

Quality, solder masked, fiberglass-epoxy printed circuit boards and meticulous hand- crafted assembly assure years of trouble-free service.

Synthetic Sound Labs has been in the analog synthesizer business since 1973. The 2261 is the newest in SSL’s continuing line of outstanding analog synthesizer modules.

Pricing is $250 US and is available off-the-shelf from SSL and Distributors Worldwide. Silver panel – Model 2261S. Black panel – Model 2261B

Modular Day Barcelona 2023 after party - HRTL

video upload by Befacosynth

"There are few in the Czech electronic music culture with a background as storied as HRTL, the performing alias of Prague-based synthesiser musician Leoš Hort.

AtomoSynth KOE Vactrol Intro

video upload by Atomosynth

"Hello world, we are proud to introduce the new version of our classic synthesizer module, the KOE 7 Vactrol version which features our classic AtomoSynth vactrol-based 12db/oct Low and High pass filter.

As always it is a full synthesizer voice in one module, this means it features all the basic submodules like an oscillator, low-frequency oscillator, filter, and envelope generator, these are internally pre-connected so it produces a classic synth sound with the minimum patching (only CV and gate signals), however, each submodule can be used individually thanks to its extensive patchbay allowing great flexibility, making it a great addition to your actual modular system or a perfect entry point to the world of modular synthesizers."

PanicGirl Presets For The New WARP Module From Neuzeit Instruments 🪐

video upload by PanicGirlVids

"Thomas from @neuzeitrecordings was kind enough to make some lovely sound demos of the presets that I made for his wonderful new WARP Eurorack module.

The WARP module has a hybrid engine that combines additive and wavetable synthesis, with four voices and two oscillators each. And it has a lot of sound design options to choose from, it's quite a rabbit hole once you start exploring the modulation options.

Let me know what you think of it in the comments below!"

Bad Gear - It's really Bad?

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland SH-4d. Is this groovebox and multitimbral synthesizer based on subtractive synthesis, wavetable, FM synthesis, ring modulation and vintage synths like the Roland SH-101 or Roland Juno-106 the missing link between synth and drum machine. Can it keep up with competitors like the Elektron Syntakt or Teenage Engineering OP-1? Does it play in the same league like the new Roland Jupiter-X or even its conceptual predecessor, the Roland SH-32? It's really Bad?

Vintage Electronic Drums (Percussion/Congas)

video upload by celtusfergus

via this auction

"This exceptionally rare analogue percussion synthesizer was made in Japan in the very early 1970's. It has been most notably used by Anne Peebles in the rare groove song 'I Can't Stand The Rain' which was sampled and used in the 1997 Hiphop track 'The Rain' by Missy Elliot. I have replaced the disintegrated foam which sits under the pads with brand new longer lasting foam. The pads are "velocity sensitive," using a magnetic pickup inside each pad that runs on a 9V battery which powers all voices. The mute switches all work, which essentially control the decay for each instrument by varying degrees based on the circuit design. There's a circuit diagram pasted to the base of the case beneath the top of the synth.

There are trimmers on the circuit board of the synth which I'm assuming control either overall tuning or deacy. I haven't touched these in order to maintain the originality of this instrument. The synth is in amazing original condition despite its age and the fact that it needs to be hit in order to work. :)"

reVel2 - MaxforLive Device for Ableton Live by LDM Design

video upload by Isotonik Studios

"This colorful device is an updated version of the nice little velocity sequencer originally included in LDM Design’s popular Chance 10 pack. reVel expands the idea to include a unique duration based mode and expanded functionality such as individual randomization per step.

With Sequencer mode, you set a fixed sequence of values up to 32 steps long, and each note will take the velocity level of each proceeding step in the sequence.

Using this mode you can add randomization amounts per individual step to create more variation in the output. However, if your sequence of notes in Live’s piano roll, or live incoming midi, varies in the distribution of notes in any section of time, the sequence of velocity values will fall out of step with the notes coming through.

You may want this as a creative way to make differing patterns, yet you may also want a specific flow of velocity values in each section of time. This is where the Function mode comes in!

With the unique function mode, you can set the flow of values over a specific number of beats, and then however many notes come through in each section, it will retain the flow of velocity values over time. Now we can get a specific groove and let the notes flow freely.

In function mode we get a global randomization amount which will define a maximum amount of randomization for any note that comes through."

[ELZ_1 play] CUSTOM OSC - An experiment switching between two waveforms at arbitrary period

video upload by SONICWARE

"Today I experimented with SONICWARE's own sound engine, CUSTOM OSC.

The CUSTOM OSC engine can play sounds while switching between two different waveforms at arbitrary period.

For example, it is easy to "switch between a sine wave and a square wave every 1.5 cycles," and the unique "undulation" and "overtone" sound is interesting.

You can also adjust the DUTY of the waveform.

As is common with all ELZ_1 play engines, you can control the synth engine parameters with LFO and ENVELOPE.

In the case of CUSTOM OSC, you can experiment with a variety of sounds by modulating the switching cycle between two waveforms, waveform type, DUTY, PITCH, and more.

In today's experiment, I created a sound that would be suitable for nostalgic, chill music, chiptune, and dance music.

Depending on the settings, it may be suitable for various genres of music. Please take a look.

今日は二つの異なる波形を任意の周期ごとに切り替えて鳴らすことのできるSONICWARE独自のサウンドエンジン「CUSTOM OSC」の実験をしました。

例えば「正弦波と矩形波を1.5周期ごとに切り替える」といったことが簡単に出来て、独特の「うねり」や「倍音感」が面白いです。

また、波形のDUTYを調整することもできます。

ELZ_1 playのどのエンジンも共通なのですが、LFOやENVELOPEでシンセエンジンパラメータをコントロールできます。

CUSTOM OSCの場合、２つの波形の切り替え周期や波形タイプ、DUTY、PITCHなどをモジュレーションして多彩なサウンド実験ができます。

今日の実験では、ノスタルジックでチルな音楽や、チップチューン、ダンスミュージックなどに合いそうなサウンドができました。

設定によっては様々なジャンルの音楽に合いそうです。ぜひご覧になってください。

UNBOXING THE ELGAM CRAZY BAND 48

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"We were super excited to receive this unicorn, vintage groove box - the machine that was the very last breath of the Elgam in 1982 - it was shipped out as the company folded.
The Elgam Crazy Band 48 was the follow up to the now sought-after Elgam Carousel and it shares some of its functions but not any of it's components, schematics or architecture.
The unit was well packed in a sturdy box but only emit a loud hiss and one single note on arrival.
Yep - this is often the reality of unboxing vintage gear.
This machine is now in the shop for repairs but it's a long journey to get it back up and running - if it ever will. The music in the background is from a similar device we demo:ed in an earlier video : the Godwin Drummaker 45."
