Mailbag 10 - Feedback Modules VCZIII Oscillator

video upload by ranzee

"We are checking out the Feedback Modules VCZIII VCO Oscillator - both type A and B. The VCZIIIA and VCZIIIB are modelled after the EMS VCS3 synthesizer and have similar design and functionality as the original.

The mailbag series are videos where I receive parcels and open them for the first time. Plug the item in and test it out, showing you my first impressions of the items. These generally aren't reviews, nor are they a polished product demonstration. I'm more after the raw end user approach here."

JEC iVCS3 Preset Bank 11-Eleven

video upload by James Edward Cosby

"New April 2024 JEC James Edward Cosby iVCS3 Preset Bank '11-Eleven' containing 211 presets, the first 140 are playable and the remaining 71 are Sequences, Drones and self playing patches. The bank also comes with 51 accompanying CV/Audio files providing some processed Audio and Envelope / LFO CV Structures which can be used via the input channels to modulate destinations via Matrix Rows 8 and/or 9. These files may be used in your own non commercial patches to add extra functionality like percussive envelope transients and specially designed LFO shapes and fx. The first 4 Presets are related and can be morphed using the Snapshot Pad while being played via an external controller... This promotional video demos 4 short live compositions each using 2 presets, a sequence and a complimentary lead... cheers all..."

EMS VCS3 The Putney Analog Modular Synthesizer w/ DK 1 Keyboard SN 1098 & 2118

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

via this auction

"This listing is for an EMS VCS3 The Putney Analog Modular Synthesizer w/ Original DK 1 Keyboard. Important to note about this synth, it does not have master tune knob like many synths made after. There are three parameters the user needs to juggle to property tune this synth. The first is the frequency knob of the oscillators, 2nd is "Input Channel 1" knob and finally, the "Frequency" knob on the DK1 keyboard. Even with everything dialed in nicely, sometimes the higher or lower notes on the keyboard will be slightly out of tune. Adding or removing patch pins will raise or lower the voltages for all three of these parameters and will throw the synth out of tune. This is a historic synthesizer without the "quality of life" upgrades of analog synthesizers made after."

via this auction

"Rare and useful Pitch to Voltage. Always liked this better than the GE 101, the envelope follower and trigger are particularly good. Pitch tracking is OK, depending on source, good for filter tracking. Odd for EMS this outputs at 1V/octave.

This unit has a nice history coming from EMSA. Nice Afromosa case, bulgin power cable. Vintage unit pushing 50 years old, being sold as-is, as seen."

Mixtur Trautonium & EMS SYNTHI

If you are curious about the Mixtur Trautonium, in addition to previous posts here, this article is worth a look. From that article:

"The central module with the screens is one of the 'subharmonic generators' that give the Mixtur-Trautonium the 'mixture' bit of its name. The modules appear to be held in place with quick-release thumb screws, which is an interesting idea."

"My Planet, Arrakis, Is So Beautiful When The Sun Is Low" (EMS Synthi A, Cocoquantus 2, Osmose)

video upload by PanicGirlVids

"'My planet, Arrakis, is so beautiful when the sun is low.
Rolling over the sands, you can see spice in the air.'

This is a Dune inspired track that I made with my EMS Synthi A, Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus 2, Expressive E Osmose, Emergence Audio Cello & Viola Textures & Felt Instruments.

Even though I haven’t seen the new Dune movie yet I keep on reading, watching and listening to every little bit I can get my hands on. Who else is excited to see the new DUNE movie? 🥰

Thanks so much for watching!"

Feedback Modules VCZIII EMS SYNTHI Based Voltage Controlled Oscillator Modules

VCZIII - Bass Sequence video upload by Feedback Modules

"VCZIIIA SAW is mixed with VCZIIIB SQUARE and with SUB modules.
All three are mixed to the VCF2600. The end of the patch is VCA2600 controlled by the ENV100.
You can hear the bubbly sound of the VCOs, these VCOs made with transistors are not so linear as other VCOs."

VCZIII - FM Modulation

video upload by Feedback Modules

"VCZIII VCOs modulating each other. The shape of the waveform is changed by the 4 slow sine LFOs combos of CMS SLOSINES. You can hear how the FM timbre is affected by the waveform nature."

via https://feedback-modules.myshopify.com

"The VCZIII voltage controlled oscillator modules are our latest creation and are based on the VCOs of one of the most revered analog instruments, the famous British pin matrix synth released in 1969. The VCZIII series VCO is a result of the collaboration of Feedback modules and CMS-LAB and is a modern re-creation of those temperamental, organic and beautiful sounding VCOs from 1969 but with enhancements and adaptations to the Eurorack needs of 21st century.

There are two type of VCOs, VCZIII A based on VCO1 with variable shape SINE & SAW waveforms, VCZIII B based on VCO2 & VCO3 with variable TRIANGLE & PULSE waveforms. Also, each VCO comes in two versions, one with normal fine tune potentiometers and one with precision multiturn potentiometer."

Ludvig Elblaus & Stelios Giannoulakis - EMS Synthi100 at CMRC/ΚΣΥΜΕ

Both an artist and researcher, Ludvig works primarily with computational materials to create acoustic and electronic music, sound art, audiovisual installations, museum exhibits and also makes contributions to larger collaborative works in several traditions (e.g. opera, theatre, and dance). Elblaus holds his PhD in Sound and Music Computing 2018 from the NAVET Center for Art, Technology, and Design, at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His latest projects include commissions for the GRM Acousmonium, the Labor Sonor Festival, the Elevate Festival, and performances in Stockholm, Cairo, Vienna, Paris, Zurich and Graz. In 2022 he was composer in residence at the Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics in Graz. In 2023 he is working in the Moving Loudspeakers Artistic Residency at the Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology at ZHdK. He also teaches at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.

In addition to his solo work, he has been involved in several long-term collaborative projects. Some notable examples are the electro-acoustic improvisation ensemble The Schematics (with Erik Calälv, Katt Hernandez, and Daniel M. Karlsson), the networked music project End of Text (ETX) (with Luc Döbereiner), a musical composition collaboration with Rune Rebne, and the musical and artistic research duo Utrumque (with Gerhard Eckel)."

"This edition is rare, and cannot be found anywhere as a set. Made by EMS London, and works differently than the Synthi A, although it appears to be the same. Here is a breakdown of what you get below:

In addition to the power supply, new patch cables as well as the original patch cables (standard mini jack), the lid of the "suitcase synthesis" and the original manual (or textbook) are included.

The modules of the EMS Synthis work perfectly, the overall sound and especially the filter sound very high-quality.
