An analog DIY Bass-Synthesizer

Published on Apr 17, 2020 Andreas Remshagen

"I wanted a little Bass-Synth with an easy Chord-Sequencer and the Akzentuator (I had built it in a Synth before). It also should work as a normal Synth for playing Basslines. The filter i used is a moog-clone descriped in YuSynths site. For metallic Bass-sounds i added the Metalizer that is also descriped in YuSynths site. The VCOs that i used here i had built some time ago, they are the Oscillators from Ray Wilsons (MFOS) sound-lab Mini. There are circuits from the components in Videodescriptions from my earlier videos. Its a very compact device with you can create many Variations of Bass-Sounds.

The analog Choir/Strings-Synthesizer 2.0. Introduction, Plans and Circuits

Published on Jan 26, 2020 Andreas Remshagen

"This is another Introduction and Description of an DIY-Device that i have built. Its the second Version of the analog-Strings Synthesizer i have built before. It has 12 Oscillators parted in 4 Strings-Groups that can be freely tuned in Chords or Octaves and controlled over a CV-keyboard.

There is also a Choir-function based on the VP330-Filter. The Circuits are from Roland (Redrawn by Chok), Ray Wilsons MusicFromOuterSpace and from Yusynth.net

The VP 330 Human-Voice-Filter-Clone Test

Published on Jan 15, 2020 Andreas Remshagen

"I build a Prototype from this Filter using the Circuit in the Link below.
This 7 Filters were built in the famous Roland VP-330 and gave him the
Vintage choir-sounds. Here i used the Filters to test each one
with its own Potentiometer. I didn‘t use the HV-330 compander from Jurgen Haible
that is shown in the right part of the Circuit.
The right combination of each Filter makes the characteristic voice-sound
The Sound-Source ist the Strings-Synth i have shown in a video before.
It feeds the Filters with 12 Sawtooth-Oscillators

12 Oscillators on a Stripeboard in -2 Minutes

Published on Dec 28, 2019 Andreas Remshagen

"A short Video from the Construction of 12 oscillators on a Stripeboard
for a compact version of the Strings-Synth i did show in the Video before. [posted here]
The difference ist that this Device can switch to Rectangle-Waveform.
I planned to make an analog-Choir-Synth from this Device but i haven’t found the right
Filter for it- so is sounds actually like the Strings-Synth. Maybe someone has an idea
for creating choir-sounds?

Analog Synth #4 - Jam with Swing-Function

Published on Jul 11, 2019 Andreas Remshagen

"A nice little electronic Jam-Session containing my diy analog-Sequencer with swing-function.
All performance is live and on diy-modules except the Mixer and the Fx500 Multieffect.

Following diy components are used:

16 Step-Sequencer with swing-function
a 4 x 4 multi-Vco synth with Steiner-VCF, YuSynth Metalizer and
the 1 to 10 step arpeggiator + akzentuator created by myself
The Strings-Synthesizer and The 4xDS-7 Clone with 2 HiHats
Drum-Machine; both shown in another Video in this Channel
The keyboard plays a 4-Wave VCO and a Moog-Clone VCF

The Swing-Function of the Sequencer gives out a "swingy-clock-signal" that synchronizes the Arpeggiator and the Drum-Machine"

The DIY Analog-Stringsynth Module/Stringmachine

Published on Jan 21, 2018 Andreas Remshagen

"A short Demonstration of a DIY-Completely analog String-Synth Module. The Module has 4 Channels with 3 VCO`s in each Channel.
It is completely driven by 12 VCO's. The 4 Channels can be controlled in 4 parts or all together by one controller. Each Channel
has its own output and there is one Multi-Out for all Channels together. The Module has a built-in Vibrato Effect.
Each VCO is based on the Sound-Lab Mini-VCO Cirquit designed
by Ray Wilson from MFOS. I took out the Sawtooth-part from this Cirquit. All 12 VCO`s have Tempco for better tuning-stabilisation."

DIY Analog Drummachine, the DS7 x 4 Clone

Published on Dec 16, 2017 Andreas Remshagen

"Playing with four DS-7 Clones, all together in one Drumsequencer.
The cirquit can be found in the net eg. http://m.bareille.free.fr/ds7clone/ds...
The four Clones are played over a 16 Step Sequencer.
Since the ds7 clone can usually be controlled by a piezo, it needs a very short pulse"
