Metasonix - T1 [Ultra Rare, #2 of 10]

video upload by NOISEBUG



via Noisebug

NOISEBUG on Reverb

"The Metasonix T1 is an ultra rare piece. Only 10 in existence. this model is serial number #2 of 10.

This T1 is preowned but in absolutely pristine condition.

Includes:

original PSU, original owner's manual, product box and replacement tubes.

From the Metasonix T1 owner's manual:

The T1 is our FLAGSHIP instrument! Our best/worst! It is an intentionally primitive device, using late 1950s technology for the entire signal path. Do not expect it to sound or behave like a Moooooog! Do not expect it to sound or behave like a copycat machine trying to sound like a Mooooooooooooooog! Do not furiously twist the knobs in search of the 1980s DX7 tone. F*** you and f*** the 1980s! Oh, and PS: there are no presets!

So, let's put it in terms even a musician might possibly absorb.

Think of the T1 as a primitive box containing 3 screaming children, being punched in the face to the rhythm of the internal sequencer or user supplied (this means you!) control-voltage source. These screaming voices are generated by the thyratron VCOs that are staring at you right now (you do like to read the manual while you have the unit in front of you, right?) The VCOs are modified RK7 modules, okay?

The knobs control the amount of strangle of the screaming voice. Turn them to the right for higher pitched screaming, and turn to the left for a tighter strangle and more choking. They go thru a mixer/mangler similar to the RK3 module, thence thru a bandpass filter similar to the RK4, then to a lowpass filter/LPG similar to the RK6. Finally there is a pentode VCA on the output, and one envelope generator to control either it or the LPG, selectable by the toggle switch between the LPG and envelope. There is only ONE envelope on this bastard thing, because it’s supposed to be as primitive as possible. If you want to sweep the filter or suchlike, or you want an 'LFO' thing, use the sequencer to do it. Or use external control-voltage sources. There were no such things as “envelope generators” or “LFOs” in the 1950s.

Trace | Interpolating CV and Audio Scanner | by DivKid and Vostok Instruments

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"As a 4HP utility module, the Trace isn't that special. It's basically four inputs and one output, with a slider to crossfade between the inputs. But still. If you'd want to do something similar, you would need to patch precise CV to smoothly scan through these inputs with a mixer that supports crossfading. Buchla's Voltage Math (Tiptop 257T) has two crossfaders on board, and you may have a MakeNoise XPAN nearby. I also think it would be possible with a big mixer and a Mutable Tides to slowly fade in/out. The vintage and discontinued MakeNoise RxMx was all about scanned mixing and offered six channels. But I don't think there's anything that can do this in 4 HP. DivKid has a talent to identify the things we're missing in our cases and the Vostok/Divkid Trace is a valuable addition to any patch that involves a VCO with multiple outputs or lots of CV. Highly recommended and lots of fun."

Syntrx II: First patch

video upload by Richard DeHove

"A few years back almost all my hardware was modular gear. A beautiful 15u all-black monster. A wondrous thing it was with a most fetching array of clock-synced lights. Problem was I never made any music with it. It was lots of fun arranging the modules though. I still have about 80hp left of a few favorites I couldn't part with: Interstellar Radio, the Erica LFOs and some utilities.

I mention this because the Syntrx II is often described as a modular system in a box. Sections are "patched" via the matrix. I've had the Syntrx for an embarrassingly long time and never done anything with it other than admire its good looks. In fact I sold my OB-6 to help pay for it. Yet somehow it just hasn't called.

So here's my first attempt at coherent sound. It took a day to get going. Figuring how to clear the matrix and patch anything took several hours. A couple of hours after that and we have this. It's not much. I tried to get a stereo field happening - and succeeded briefly - then somehow lost it. I was also getting excellent low rubber resonance swells but somehow lost them as well by the time I was ready to record. I battled for quite a while to stop overloading the filter and that seems to have worked.

So I certainly wouldn't say it's easy to get going. Of course that's just me. So far there's nothing here that other reasonably deep synths couldn't do. I know the Syntrx can go way deeper, but I don't want to just make random complex noise. Perhaps the question is how complex can you get while staying somewhat musical? And where is your own subjective boundary of music?

I wasn't going to upload this as I wasn't very happy with it, but then I thought its value is as an example of a 'first try' with a complex machine.

As usual there is no processing or effects other than what you see - the Syntrx itself. The only other element are the vocal samples which are taken from one of my favorite B-grade sci-fi movies: The Time Travellers (1964). It has an excellent score btw.

Many thanks to my kind patrons who keep this channel ad-free

Kawai R-50 III 🔥 Rare Industrial Drum Machine Only Released in Japan

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

"'I had never seen an R50 version III before.' - Jim Atwood, Professional Musician and Synth Tech in Japan.

If you go to Kawai's website you'll see there's no official mention of this drum machine ever existing. I thought for the longest time the rare Japanese-only release of the R-50 was a myth. In fact the only consistent comment you'll hear about this drum machine is that it's rare.

Now it's here at Vulture Studios!

The R-50 iii has all three eproms released for the Kawai R series of drum machines (R-100, R-50, R-50e) in one unit without the need to mod it to change the eprom sounds.

Common wisdom is that basically all the old Wax Trax industrial records from bands like Ministry, Front 242, Front Line Assembly and KMFDM used the Kawai R-50e drum samples, they have that classic industrial 12-bit sound.

In this video, we take a look at the Kawai R-50 III drum machine - a classic piece of electronic music hardware that has been used on countless records across a range of genres. We'll explore the features and functionality of the R-50 III, and delve into the history of this iconic instrument.

First, we'll give a brief overview of the R-50 III's capabilities and take a tour of the interface. We'll demonstrate how to create beats using the machine's 48 onboard drum sounds and explore its editing capabilities, including step sequencing and pattern chaining. We'll also showcase some of the R-50 III's unique features, such as its ability to adjust the tone and decay of each individual sound.

Next, we'll dive into the history of the R-50 III, tracing its origins back to the early 1980s when Kawai first began producing drum machines. We'll explore the evolution of the R-50 series and examine how the R-50 III differs from its predecessors, the R-50 and R-50e.

Along the way, we'll touch on some of the notable artists and genres that have utilized the R-50 III in their music, from 80s synth-pop to 90s hip-hop to modern-day techno. We'll also discuss the impact that the R-50 III has had on electronic music production and how it continues to influence musicians today.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a newcomer to the world of drum machines, this video is sure to provide valuable insights and inspiration. So sit back, relax, and join us on a journey through the history of the Kawai R-50 III."

❄️ Electro Harmonix Freeze goes Modular ❄️ 🎧 (no talking) 🎧

video upload by Cutoff Frequency - gear stuff (no talking)

"This is a video demonstrating the sounds of the Electro Harmonix Freeze Sound Retainer.

The Freeze is one of those pedals I always fall back to. It is wonderful in its simplicity and very complex when actually listening to the sound it produces. It works great when performing solo since it gives you the possibility to record a snippet of your sound which immediately starts looping. When using a reamp box you can easily feed your modular stuff through it. Great stuff! I hope Electro Harmonix will produce a stereo version, that would be truly awesome."

SY-4X Syncussion 1.0.2 Update Plug-In VS SY-1 Hardware - Raw Test 2

video upload by Aly James

https://www.alyjameslab.com/

"New test using 1.0.2 update (to be released this week). Matching as best as you can match 100% analog vintage hardware.

Change Log - v1.0.2
Fix - MIDI-learned parameter (if any) assignments are now correctly saved with the session.
Fix - MIDI Custom Map for channels 6, 7, and 8 are now properly assigned to custom drum notes.
Fix - Sweep Envelope now correctly updates EG2 decay time (corrected missing update from tuning to EG2).
Fix - Trigger velocity now correctly affects EG2 decay time.
corrected envelope calculation.
New Feature - Copy and Paste channel settings, allowing users to easily share settings between channels or copy/paste between presets.
Added - New parameter: VCF Poles 1:1 Ratio.
optional equal resistance for the filter's CV resistors, makes the Spread parameter even more interesting by bringing poles closer.
Added - New parameter: LFO Trigger Reset (resets LFO phase on trigger).
thanks to DSP this mod still keeps S&H unaffected.
Added - New parameter: EG Fast Attack.
bypasses envelope attack smoothing for a sharper, more "clicky" sound, adjust as needed. Set to "Hardware Reset" default.
Added - New parameter: Decay Sense.
an extra custom control to increase dynamic decay control, without this extra control there is still a slight decay change from trigger envelope but now you can increase it independently.
Tweak - Sweep Envelope now outputs a clipped voltage when set to extremely fast, simulating OPAMP driven close to supply rail more accurately.
Adds a noticeable short "tuned snap" at the beginning of an ultra fast sweep that was missing before.
Change - Hold reset value changed, also reflects when using "Hardware Reset".
-default EG2 response is now closer to hardware with that setting - a bit less curvy than previously set default value, tweak to taste.
Tweak - Minor GUI changes to accommodate for new LFO sync param and additional settings.
-Mode Trigger switch is now closer to the left-side Mode knob & CH8 Custom Mode A switch has been moved to the right. Set panel redesigned accordingly.
Tweak - Minor GUI changes: Some GUI sliders response change: Log taper instead of Linear.
I say some because for example, I have kept LFO sliders Linear because it's easier to control that way, the log response makes sense on some parameters and in case you were used to the hardware it will make the experience more familiar even though some parameters have extented range."
