Laurentide Synthworks PolyLAB Update

via Laurentide Synthworks

"The main globals PCB arrived and has been populated. Just missing 1 capacitor. So far the Portamento and gate led drivers have been tested.

Next PCB, which should arrive this week is for the 2 MIDImplants (although I probably could have used only one. It pays to read the manual fully first, kids). It's also got a 5v power supply for the MIDI thru.

Other than that, I should have a working prototype within the next month or 2. The case is going to take a while as I probably won't be able to bend the metal or paint until the weather warms up. Oh wells..."

Make Noise System 1 - Hotel Patch

"Perfect system for traveling.

Modules used:
Make Noise: Function (2), DPO, Optomix, Echophon, Pressure Points (2), Brains.
Mutable Instruments: Ripples

Recorded on a Tascam DR-40. I think I used a bit of the reverb on it too,

The new Windows Movie Maker doesnt like .mov files for some reason. Obviously downloaded the trial of Cyberlink. Whatev's."

Laurentide Synthworks MFOS Soundlab Mini-Synth MKII 2-Voice Poly Synth

via Laurentide Synthworks:

"The past couple of months I have slowly been designing a 2-Voice Poly Synth. At it's core, it is 2 MFOS Soundlab Mini-Synth MKII's. I've spent a lot of time tweaking ideas on how to implement everything. Pretty much all of the parts are there, I just need to put it together. Easier said than done.

It starts at a Mutable Instruments MIDIpal. Eventually I will try to tweak the MIDIpal code so it only has some of the apps, like Dispatcher (of course), arp, seq and maybe some others. Keep it simple. The MIDIpal will be connected internally to 2 chained midimplant's (MIDI to CV) which will be wired to each Soundlab. This is how the polyphony will be achieved. I will have MIDI IN & THRU jacks mounted on the rear of the case.

The front panel will have both Soundlabs mounted side by side. There will be a 3rd panel to the left of the 1st Soundlab that will be home to the MIDIpal as well as some other cool stuff..."

Laurentide SynthWorks #4

"Completed a Mutable Instruments 'Yellow Magic' (LP2 + Delay) build. First time I've gotten to play with this filter. It is designed around the MS-20 LP filter with a Lo-Fi PT2399 Filter Chip added. Aside from the Polivoks filter board, this is the dirtiest of the analog boards MI offers. Lots of clipping and dirtiness.

The demo is accompanied by an MFOS Soundlab Mini-Synth MKII ran through a Moogerfooger 104M."

"Another modular playday. Got some euro modules finally. Using the Doepfer A-115 Audio Divider on one of the VCO's. Lots of S&H clocking and modulating with some Sympleseq sequencing. messy and clipped to hell (VCO wave is going through the dotcom Q130 Clipper/Rectifier before hitting the A115)."

"Little jam with the following:

Music From Outerspace Soundlab Minisynth MKII
Sonic-Potions LXR Drum Synth
Hex Inverter Sympleseq Module (MU)
Roland Juno-106
Minimoog Voyager Old School"

via Laurentide SynthWorks

"Oddly enough, the Sonic-Potions LXR is the first hardware drum synth I've owned. I've got a bunch of stuff on the computer, but that kind of music creation has always been creatively constricting for me.

Anyway, I recorded a new demo with some devices we build (MFOS Soundlab MKII, Hex Inverter Sympleseq & Sonic-Potions LXR). It's accompanied with a Minimoog Voyager OS and a Juno-106. The LXR is generating the clock which is being sent to a Kenton Pro-Solo II MIDI 2 CV, which is then sending the clock to the Sympleseq.

Enjoy and thanks for watching!"

Hexinverter's Sympleseq with Re:Synthesis Panel by Laurentide SynthWorks

"Quick run with the sympleseq controlling a Q106 VCO & Q107 SVF. Some additional modulation (LFO > PWM & S&H > SVF 1V/Oct) from the MFOS Soundlan b MKII."

"This Shruthi-1 was specifically built to go straight to ebay. Specs on the synth can be found here. The synth ships with the latest SMR-4 Analog Filter (SMR-4 MKII). I have added a 3 way (SP3T) switch to access the 2 BP modes.

Switch Modes

Back: BP1
Center: Normal LP (Lowpass) Mode
Forward: BP2"
