Future Retro Vectra Rippin' Sounds

video upload by FutureRetroSynths

"All sounds in this video were recorded directly from the Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer. No additional EQ, Compression, or Effects were used. These sounds contain low frequency content, listen with a subwoofer to appreciate.

It's interesting to note that while the Vectra does not have a built in distortion stage as many of our other products are well known for, the Vectra's oscillators are powerful enough to synthesize many different forms of distortion all by themselves using our one-of-a-kind Phase-Slice modes.

This video highlights quite a few of these more aggressive sounds, most of which will use only one or two oscillators.

Some of the new complex vector synthesis patches sound amazing.

Enjoy!"

"Talking Synths is a weekly podcast where Syntaur's crew chats about all manner of synthology. In this special episode of Talking Synths, Syntaur's Carlos Morales sits down with Jered Flickinger of Future Retro and takes a sneak peek at the soon-to-be-released Vectra synthesizer. Future Retro was founded by Jered in 1997, and has released a host of unique products like the 777, Revolution, XS, Mobius, 512, and now the Vectra."

Future Retro 777 Analog Synthesizer Rare Silver Version Only 7 Units Ever Made SN FR3D714990SE1

via this auction

"In 2019, Jered from Future Retro opened his vault and sold some incredibly rare synths from his collection. I was lucky enough to buy this ultra rare brushed silver model from the buyer of this sale, one out of only 7 ever produced, with just 4 ever released to the public. It has the more controlled overdrive output level, V3 OS, and has been serviced with updated temperature compensation mod for the oscillators, a new backup battery and complete calibration. It is essentially a brand new, mint condition 777. It includes an original US power supply purchased from Future Retro. Since buying this, I have spent no more than a few hours playing with it in total. It is the best sounding synth I have ever heard and I wish I had more time to spend with it. Unfortunately for me (and fortunately for you!), I have other life priorities at the moment and need to let this beauty go. This will come packaged with multiple layers of bubble wrap/protection and insured as well, hence the shipping cost. If you would like to forego this expense please reach out before purchasing."

Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer Sound Demo Part 3

video upload by FutureRetroSynths

"All sounds you hear are from the Future Retro Vectra synthesizer. In this video we focus primarily on a few Bass, Guitar, and Sync type sounds.

The Vectra is capable of recreating some of the most recognizable sounds from some of the greatest synths of all time. Want to do wavetable synthesis like the Prophet VS and Microwave 1? How about some DX FM sounds? Or combine digital and analog waveforms like the D-50? And who remembers the SQ-80? But this goes farther than just digital synths, how about 303 stuff? Do you enjoy the rich fat tones of the Oberheim's with variable glide time per oscillators, and gorgeous filters? We do too! And British synth lovers, will enjoy the Synthi, Wasp, and Oscar inspirations. Want to dive into some modular weirdness, you got it! Or maybe you're just tired of the same old drum machines and ready for some new percussion. Whether you're a professional musician, sound designer for film, or hobbiest the Vectra offers something for everyone.

Some clips may include a touch of reverb/delay from the Eventide Eclipse."

New Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer Details & Pre-Order

See the video here.

Details via Future Retro:

"We are excited to announce the new Vectra synthesizer, and are now taking pre-orders. The total cost of the unit will be $1,100 plus shipping. A deposit payment in the amount of $550 is required to pre-order this unit. Once the first 100 pre-orders are received, we will begin our parts ordering and production of this unit. The remaining balance of $550 plus shipping will be due once these units are ready to ship. We expect shipping to begin around Spring 2022. Although the time-frame will be determined by the availability of components and how quickly you get your pre-order in.
Please note, the deposit payment is non-refundable.

Introducing the Vectra Synthesizer...

The Vectra is a unique digital-analog hybrid synthesizer providing four oscillators, white and pink noise sources, four ring modulators, a four-channel mixer, five LFO’s, six morphing envelopes, six primary multimode analog filter types, a main analog VCA, and numerous internal modulation routings and VCA’s controlling modulation amounts.

It really is like having a powerful self-contained semi-modular synthesizer with approximately 500 internal signal routings, and around 256 storable sound parameters.

The Vectra's synthesis architecture is designed to allow the greatest flexibility in recreating multiple synthesis techniques of the past while introducing several new innovations and methods.

The oscillators are digital as this provides the highest degree of tuning stability, while allowing both traditional virtual analog waveforms and 500 digital waveforms. With features like oscillator Sync, PWM, our new waveform Phase Slice, and Fade features, independent glide times per oscillator, constant beat detuning, monophonic and eight paraphonic voice modes, not to mention FM, AM, Ring-modulation, and dedicated LFO’s, Envelopes, and VCA’s per oscillator really make these oscillators a power house.

The four-channel mixer is unique in that it provides an even balance when mixing multiple sources, either manually with the joystick, or applying automated vector mixing, or mixer modulation.

The five LFO’s provide 500+ waveforms to choose from, with their frequency spanning from sub-audio to well into the audio range. Their frequency can be stationary or track keyboard notes with glide. Waveforms can sync to any waveform phase at a note-on, and they can be frequency modulated as well. In short they can be used as LFO’s, complex envelopes, or audio rate oscillators.

The six morphing envelopes are really something else. With each envelope providing initial Delay, Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain, Release, as well as a loop time when set to Repeat. Ultra precise and snappy, they provide envelope times from 0ms to 14.7 seconds per each stage. Each envelope provides multiple envelope curve selections, and can be one-shot, normal envelope types, or looping. And did you notice they can morph? Yes, that’s right! All six envelopes can morph and modulate between two individual values per each envelope stage.

Patch Notes: TM404

video by FACTmagazine

"Swedish producer Andreas Tilliander started out as one of the ’00s glitch scene’s most notable artists, but for the past decade he has created dub techno-inspired music with his extensive collection of modern and vintage hardware under the TM404 alias.

Tilliander’s latest album as TM404, Syra, is a combination of high-energy techno for the club and the kind of dreamy acid dub tracks that characterised the project’s self-titled debut from 2013, due to Tilliander being restricted to a small collection of equipment as it was partly recorded in a studio flat in Berlin as part of an artist residency.

On this week’s episode of Patch Notes, filmed at his studio in Sweden, Tilliander has access to his full range of equipment and records an experimental dub techno set that makes use of everything from an EMS Synthi A to Elektron’s Analog Rytm.

Syra is available now on Bandcamp: https://kontra-musik.bandcamp.com/alb...

"The transient is a super deep drum module for Eurorack. There are lots of built in drum samples with control over envelopes, ring modulation, and sample rate/bit depth adjustment. The Plus adds panel graphics and the SD card located at the front of the module for easier computer sample management.

This module is in good working condition with just some rack rash. Includes factory packaging."
