SND - FB-14 Filter Bank

video upload by NOISEBUG

https://www.noisebug.net/

"The SND Fixed Filterbank FB-14 MkII is a high end filter bank executed in discrete circuit technology. It is a 14 band equalizer with optimized expanded control areas. That means that not only sound corrections and drastic surgery are possible but also impressive enhancements to your sound material.

The control area per frequency band is circa 20 dB, and unusual but musically sense making is the order of filter frequencies in fifth intervals.

The FB-14 is a noble speciality due to its classic class a switching technique; circuitry that has been made by Mr Niessen himself with the upper most precision.

Four transistors are located in the signal path, two of them are germanium-types with tube like overdriving characteristics.

The sound quality of the FB-14 is in no way inferior to its technical qualities and impress deeply in every aspect: Average kick drums become beautifully intense and well rounded; static drone sounds turn into expansive sound landscapes; and nearly every kind of processed sound material glows with an expensive silkyness.

Almost with an added definition and clarity that touches the heights one aims to achieve in the mastering studio.

Not only does it blend perfectly into every mix, it adds a touch of class to the sound.

Incredible is also the use of frequency selective distortion’s with extreme setting possibilities. Even the most brutally distorted drum loops will not be mashed, but always sound nicely overdriven as well as being superbly eq’d.

Features:

14 Bands with frequencies 35, 65, 105, 160, 240, 360, 540, 800, 1200, 1800, 2700, 4000, 7000 and 12000 Hz (Fith Intervals)
A 2-Pole filter with control area +/-20dB(!) per band, Q-Factor around 0,7 at +/-10dB and 6 at +/-20dB
Level Regulator in Input- and Output
Input Amplification Adjustable between +/-20dB
Bypass switch on the front side"

Sand Noise Device

Published on May 2, 2014 Make

"The Sand Noise Device (SND) is both a complex generative music system as well as a novel and intuitive interface for influencing and interacting with this system. The interface consists of a table height box filled with sand, a Microsoft Kinect (which provides an RGB camera and depth sensing capabilities), an overhead projector, and several internally lit tangible objects. The Kinect is used to track object position, object color, and sand topography. The projector is used to provide visual feedback. Sound is provided by a multi-channel loudspeaker system arranged around the box.

The various parameters that determine the functionality of the SND's generative music system are influenced by the user's interactions with the sandscape and provided tangible objects. By manipulating the sand and objects the user is able to influence various aspects of the generative music system.

What you can hear is that the unit is doing a very good job. Since there are limiters that attenuate harsh transients in the unit itself before the signal is led to the springs."

Rare SND SAM-16 Sequential Analogue Memory

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

via this auction

"Here is your chance to own of the best analog sequencers. Not in production makes this a rare find.

The SAM-16 is a high-end analogue and MIDI-sequencer with special emphasis on tightness and intuitive handling. It has 16 steps, each with the following controls:

3-position toggle switch for trigger/mute/reset
12-position rotary encoder for semitones/chords
3-position toggle switch for transpositions
control for second parameter (i.e. filter)
control for third parameter (i.e. volume) or gate/step length
3-position toggle switch for audio/CV routing between 2 busses and individual input/output jacks
A fundamental problem of all sequencers using pots and electronic quantisation, is that a control may be (unknowingly) set close to a switching point of the quantizer, such that even a small (and inevitable) drift will cause sudden and unwanted changes in the sequence. The use of rotary encoders for setting the notes eliminates this problem, and - in conjunction with the transpose-switches - it also allows a much more intuitive and predictable control of the sequence.

The second row of knobs controls MIDI-velocity. In addition to the normal mode there are 6 special modes, in which the SAM-16 simultaneously or alternatively transmits on 2 MIDI-channels to allow velocity crossfades and switching.

The third row can be used for various functions. It controls either step or gate length, but can also generate another control voltage and/or MIDI-controller (#1-14). In addition it is possible to feed it 1 or 2 audio/CV signals, that appear at the rows output with a different attenuation/mix for each step.

With the lower row of toggle switches audio and/or CV-signals can be routed from or to 2 busses and 14 individual jacks. This can be used to create ´wave-sequences´ by routing various waveforms of a modular system´s oscillators (or other audio sources) to the filter, or to activate CV-modulations only for certain steps of a sequence. The row can also control the gate length, or generate MIDI-switch-controllers.

All rows have CV-outputs (0-5V, pitch 1V/octave), rows 1 and 2 also have a CV-input that is added to the values produced by the sequencer. These modulations also influence the MIDI-output data. The input attenuator for pitch modulation doubles as a global transpose control with a 2-octave range.

The build-in MIDI-interface synchronizes the SAM-16 to MIDI-clock or MIDI-notes (!) and translates all settings into MIDI-data. Thus it is possible to control classic analogue equipment as well as modern sound generators. Also sequences and their transformations over time can be recorded into a software sequencer for further editing, storage, and recall.

A special feature of the MIDI-section is the possibility to ´re-define´ the 12 positions of the pitch encoders, that is to assign any note or chord (up to 7 notes) to each position. The timing control of the SAM-16 also has some advanced options, such as the possibility to wait until the end of the current measure at any given step. This allows convenient synchronization even when changing the sequence length. An ´alternating´-mode allows the sequence to be split into 2 halves, and to switch between them by hand or automatically after 1 - 15 runs.

Only high-grade controls and components are used in the SAM-16. The internal MIDI-software has been carefully optimized for speed (latency < 0.1 ms) and reliability.

All CV-inputs/outputs through 1/4"-jacks on the front-panel, MIDI-In/Thru/Out on the back

19", 5 rack units, depth (behind frontpanel): 105mm + plugs, external power supply"

SND SAM-16 Sequential Analogue Memory

via this auction

"Manufacturer Description:
the ultimate in musical clock generation & manipulation

- The only device in the world to generate a MIDI master clock that is absolutely jitter-free !!
- Derives a highly accurate clock from any audio workstation or computer
- Generates 4 separate clock streams
- Each clock stream has its individual MIDI output. 2 streams also generate 24-ppq signals (“Roland sync”), while the other 2 provide trigger and reset signals for analog sequencers and arpeggiators.
- Each clock stream can be time-shifted in relation to the master clock, in extremely small increments as well as in 16th-note steps.
- Each clock stream can be set to double or half tempo, and can be turned on and off without loosing synchronicity.
- A swing or shuffle factor can be set individually for each clock stream. The swing pattern can be the same for all 4 streams, or it can be a different one for each. A software editor for these patterns is included.
- Complete settings of all controls can be stored and recalled. All parameters can be remote controlled via MIDI. A setup mode allows to set precise absolute offsets for each clock, to compensate for technical reaction time differences of the various devices connected.
- Like all SND products, the ACME-4 has been designed with great attention to detail. The 32-bit risc-processor ensures lightning-fast reaction. High-grade components (gold-plated jacks, switches, and push-buttons, sealed Alps potentiometers etc.) and a rugged metal casing ensure decades of reliable operation.
- Size: 217 mm (width) x 160 mm (depth) x 68 mm (height), powered by USB or external supply"
