IMPLEXUS - Da Funk

Majella Audio

"We are testing and playing a lot with the IMPLEXUS and while doing so we play a lot of our favorite songs like Daft Punk - Da Funk. No need for an MS20 or TB303 anymore haha! :) "

IMPLEXUS - "HOW IT'S MADE" - Woodworking

Majella Audio

"On a rainy day, at a local barn in the middle of a meadow near Amsterdam.. We made the wooden side panels for the prototypes. We tried a couple of wood finishings!

Note: all music and sounds made by the IMPLEXUS, created by Erwin Tuijl (Pocket Knife Army)."

IMPLEXUS - Making the indicators

Majella Audio

"The IMPLEXUS has LED indicators for modulation signals and octave/waveform selectors. A company nearby has offered us to use their CNC machine to create the plexiglass windows.

The music is from a IMPLEXUS recording session, created by Erwin Tuijl (Pocket Knife Army)."

IMPLEXUS - Bouncer

Majella Audio

"While recording the first Implexus demo's, Erwin Tuijl (Pocket Knife Army) was playing around with the LFO's synced to the clock of the cirklon and created a bouncy sidechain effect. He also takes advantage of mixing in the sub-osc to add a solid bass layer to the sound."

IMPLEXUS - Percussive

Majella Audio Introduces the IMPLEXUS West-Cost Style Desktop Synth

Majella Audio

"The Majella Audio IMPLEXUS is a new desktop west-coast style synthesizer. "

Majella Audio · Implexus first recording session

via Majella Audio

"The IMPLEXUS is a hardware desktop synthesizer combining west – and east-coast syntheses techniques into a single formfactor. The IMPLEXUS uses analog waveshaping, folding and audio rate modulation to create a immense range of sounds and textures! It will be available at KICKSTARTER soon!

In short
The IMPLEXUS is a performance-oriented musical instrument which will inspire you to compose music and explore it’s unique soundscape. The IMPLEXUS has a carefully designed analogue signal path with many unique ways to create intriguing sounds. The many sound shaping methods and modulation possibilities help you to create west-coast style harmonically rich sounds as well as thick east-coast analog sounds.

The IMPLEXUS has a powerful “one-knob-per-function” interface with graphical feedback, utilizing LED rings to indicate modulators. The drone mode, tap tempo and looping envelopes let’s you explore the IMPLEXUS as a standalone sound generator. The MIDI and Eurorack compatibility and clock synchronisation options make sure it can be played in every setting. The IMPLEXUS is build to last. It has metal shaft potentiometers, an aluminium casing with scratch and solvent resistant graphics and an internal power supply (no adapter!). The IMPLEXUS is a characteristic, unique and complete musical instrument.

“West coast”
The characteristic sound of the IMPLEXUS comes from shaping and folding a sinewave, resulting in a complex waveform. The shaping and folding can be modulated at audio-rate in a single knob turn utilizing the second generator. Instead of subtracting you will be adding harmonics. After tweaking for a while you will be surprised to find out you didn’t touch the filter… yet.

Graphical feedback
The IMPLEXUS makes complex synthesis accessible with a performance-oriented “one-knob-per-function” interface. Different knob sizes will guide you to the most unique parts of this synthesizer and the LED’s will indicate modulating signals. You will not only hear what is happening, but you will actually see the effect of a knob tweak!"

New Majella Audio IMPLEXUS Desktop Synthesizer In the Works

Update: details are in - click here for video, demos, and new pics.

It looks like a new hardware desktop synth from Majella Audio is in the works.

Just some teaser pics for now. It appears to have a Complex Generator for one oscillator and a Basic Generator for the other. You should be able to see the following on the front panel:

Complex Generator with Range, Lin FM, Fine

Harmonics with EG AMT, LFO1 AMT

Folder with EG AMT

Complex Off Basic switch with #, A & Flat LEDs

Basic Generator

Mixer Section with knobs for three sources, the Complex oscillator, a Sub oscillator, and I'm guessing the Basic Generator oscillator.

Kit Overview #34 - Majella VVCA

Premiered 23 minutes ago Synth Diy Guy

"A super cool VCA module with velocity CV inputs!
A great beginner SDIY project too :)

Note this is the first Majella post on the site. Some audio demos and additional details:

"This is a do it yourself (DIY) full kit! For an assembled module click here.

This kit is designed to be as easy as possible for the DIY community. It is a very good kit for starting DIY’ers because of these features:

through hole components
symmetrical printed circuit board layout
low part count
no trimming/tuning required.
Only basic soldering skills and equipment are required!

Module description:

The VVCA is a dual linear VCA can be used for audio and CV signals.

The VVCA features two individual VCA’s. Each VCA behaves just like any other normal VCA when there is no cable connected to the velocity input. The velocity input offers velocity control over the CV input level, which means: The output level can be controlled by CV and Velocity.

This module uses the 5V rail (16 pin eurorack connector)!

Included items are:

Panel (128.5 x 20 x 2 mm)
PCB
All components (Resistors, capacitors, IC’s, etc.)
Connectors + hex nuts
montage screws
Rack crash protectors
16 pin power cable"
