Casio SK100 1986 8-Bit Sampler + Patch Bay & Pitch Mod

video upload by Canned Sound

via this Reverb listing

"Rare 1986 Casio SK-100 8-bit sampling keyboard custom modified with a 25 point modulation patch bay and pitch control section mounted on a metallic graphite externally attached console with a unique solid aluminium 1970s Hitachi 'wedge' knob. This is a weird, unpredictable, lo-fi and chaotic sampling instrument with a warm gritty sound which will inspire any alternative electronic musician and sound designer.

When the patch matrix is in use an array of warped effects, drones and loops can be generated; applying multiple connections produces an increasingly complex range of cyclic, pitch dropped, fractured, tonal, bit crushed, flanged, distorted, aliasing digital noise and bizarre sequences which affect any sound you record using the sampling feature. The pitch mod takes the sound up in pitch and down to crushing aliasing lows, also affecting the SK 100's pre-set sounds. Five stackable patch cables included.

Specs:
-25 point ROM modulation patch bay
-Pitch control function
-5 different dynamic envelopes can be applied to your samples (a long and short sample can be recorded and stored).
-Loop and reverse effects.
-The samples can be featured in the tempo adjustable onboard rhythm sequences.
-12 preset sounds
-12 preset rhythms
-Chord memory
-7 keyboard-based drum sounds"

Tekno - Baby Audio - Official Tutorial

video upload by Baby Audio





PRODUCE DRUMS WITHOUT SAMPLES
Stop browsing for the perfect sample and create your own infectious electronic drum sounds instead – with total control.

Tekno offers 18 fully synthesized drum engines, spanning kicks, snares, clap, hats, percussion and more. Craft unique drum kits full of punch and analog flavor to suit any musical genre.

Use MIDI to sequence Tekno directly. Or simply drag and drop your sounds into any DAW or folder for external sequencing.

NEXT-GENERATION DRUM SYNTHESIS
To build Tekno we teamed up with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog circuit modeling. Our goal was to create a modern spiritual successor to the legendary drum machines of the 20th century. Not an emulation, but more.

Tekno stands on the shoulders of classic drum machines but hits deeper and harder. It utilizes a combination of circuit-modeling and cutting edge DSP to deliver the punchiest synthesized drums ever put in a plugin.

DEEP TWEAKING OR FAST INSPIRATION
Click the ‘Gear’ icons next to any synth voice or FX section to unlock deep calibration and circuit-bending options.

Or hit the onboard ‘Dice’ icons to let Tekno’s smart random-algorithm generate all-new drums with every click.

You can also start from the 73 global presets and 1314 individual voice presets by leading sound designers such as Richard Devine, Mr. Bill, Virtual Riot and Yoad Nevo.

700_funtion_M4L with 700 voice system

video upload by Gm Xe

"The 700 Complex Function Generator test features multi-point drawing and a time-scanning system. In this patch, the CV output from the 700 Function plugin is routed into the 700 Voice. This plugin will be available for free download on my website.
#ableton live #max for live #700FMvoice


Paying tribute to the classic Buchla 700, the 700 FM Voice reimagines the iconic voice section's characteristics. We have rebuilt the algorithmic structure and user interface to better suit modular usage. The 700 Voice features a unique sound synthesis approach, incorporating elements of both classic FM and phase synthesis. Although it is a monophonic oscillator, we have endowed it with complex and powerful sound-shaping capabilities, as well as the design space to continue developing new algorithms in the future. The module is available in both standalone and expanded versions.

Four variable waveform oscillators, Each oscillator features four selectable modes, indicated by LED colors: red for mode 1, green for mode 2, blue for mode 3. White for mode4 (independent osc with 1.2v/oct).

A global frequency control.
Six independent index controls, supporting 0-10 V CV modulation.
A/B dual mixed output with CV modulation capability, plus a dedicated output for channel B.
The top left OLED allows mode switching for the oscilloscope via an encoder and provides access to expanded feature options.
The middle OLED displays logic diagrams for twelve algorithms, with buttons for downward selection and a "Res" button to return to the previous level.
Expanded oscillator waveform selection, including sine-saw, sine-square, and PWM square shapes.
Enhanced waveform simulation with jitter modulation.
Independent wave shape modulation for A and B outputs.
Support for expansion modules.
The standalone version allows MIDI CC input control.
Global support for 1.2 V/oct.
Power requirements: ±15V, 12V, 5V, QG, NG.

New Tiptop Audio & Buchla 230t Tips and Tricks

video upload by Todd Barton

"Just a few ideas for patches with the Tiptop Buchla 230t Triple Envelope Follower. Also, checkout Stazma's video on the 230t:"

[The new Tiptop Audio & Buchla 230t announced in May is now out. Check with dealers on the right for availability.]

Tiptop Audio & Buchla 230t Demo

video upload by Stazma

"Today we are going to check out the new module from the Tiptop & Buchla 200t serie: the Triple Envelope Follower Model 230t.

It's a fantastic addition to the 200t echosystem, that will let you control dynamic or timing with external audio such as, microphone, samples, drum pads, electric instruments, field recording or anything in that spirit. It can also be used as an decay envelope in the system or in compression / expansion patches."

TipTop Buchla 230t – Triple Envelope Follower // Interact with your patches!

video upload by Dexba

"The Buchla 230 is here, and while it might not be the shiniest module (I know you're lusting after the tenth granular effect or the twelfth tape-inspired contraption), it's quite a useful and FUN one!
Not only does it stop the modular from being this separated entity, and it gives it back the ability to listen and interact with the real world, but analysing the internal signals can be a productive endeavour too.
In this video, I'll show you some cool patches, and I will introduce the concept of sidechain in the Buchla system, which in this case was used in the most common way we associate with the term, but it can also be a powerful tool to swell reverbs, make multiple voices arise in a sea of notes, and, in general, make more lively patches :)"

Fairlight CMI IIX

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

via this Reverb listing

"I purchased this Fairlight CMI IIx about 6 years ago from a music store out of Colorado. After having the unit freighted to New Jersey, I would take yearly trips to have a good friend and excellent repair tech Mike Walters out of Chapel Hill, NC to do various repairs and general maintenance on most of my vintage gear. I had purchased both a IIx and a Series III, which he documented part of the journey on his Mystery Circuits website (Google to have a look!)

The IIx came from a widower who had put some of her husbands gear on consignment. The unit was in good shape (albeit with some wear bits/light paint chipping on the keyboard and CRT screen wear) and working condition when I purchased it, but without a lightpen. I had Mike do various maintenance bits and upgrade the disc system to the Virtual Music Fairytale (Smart SD Card System). The floppy drives do function as well, and can be used to load sounds/systems alternatively. I will include my collection of floppy discs as well. It took several years to track down a lightpen and get it to work with the unit. Mike was brilliant in researching and repairing bits and pieces to make it work. The pen does require a light tap on the base to engage the selector mechanism, but functions as expected.

I've had the unit gone over maliciously over the years and it has had light playing time during my ownership going between my home studio to garage. I've used it mostly as a expensive rompler- sad to say and have never touched upon the sampling side of things. Due to the nature and fragility of the Fairlight and the great expense/risk to ship, the sale is strictly As-is, As-described. I am located in Toms River, NJ and would strongly encourage qualified buyers to set up a day and time to inspect and look over the unit before or after purchase. I had this shipped to me and at the time it was somewhere north of $2k to have a freight company package and pallet the unit for coast to coast shipping. You would have to make plans after purchase to do so as it is an undertaking and liability I don't want to take on."

Instruo Pocket Scion & GREAT CONJUNCTION - It is bio reactive(?) test jam

video upload by Arman Bohn

"My synths and device can be found here: https://distropolisgoods.com/

This is my first synth/succulent video ... b-b-b-but I have a good reason!

My Pocket Scion from ‪@instruo‬ arrived toady and it is a hit! I tested it out on many things around my house and couldn't resist making a video.

The Pocket Scion has MIDI out, so you can drive other MIDI capable synths with biofeedback. In this case, I plugged it into my GREAT CONJUNCTION and the two immediately starting talking! The Pocket Scion sends both MIDI note and CC data on up to five channels/CCs and was already configured to randomize the preset voices of GREAT CONJUNCTION. :)

I layered the the sounds from the Pocket Scion and GREAT CONJUNCTION together to create another level of textures.

The web app for Pocket Scion opens up another degree of customization. Can't wait to try that out. Hope they open up the synth engines. They sound really good!

Now I just need to bring some plants to work ..."
