MOTM M650 Stuffing

YouTube Uploaded by matrixsynth on Apr 19, 2011

"Video of the MOTM m650 PCB being manufactured. See http://synthtech.com for more info on MOTM."

This video was from January of 2007. It was originally uploaded on Google Video when YouTube had a 10 minute limit. Google Video is shutting down so I moved this one over to YouTube. I couldn't find the original post, so I'm giving this a new one. All other videos I had on Google Video have been moved over to YouTube as well.

MODCAN Envelope Gen 04A

via this auction

"Full specs available at Modcan’s site however this is an older assembly without the GATE HOLD feature."

"The Envelope Generator 04a is the most comprehensive contour generator that we offer.
Voltage control of envelope stages and a unique GATE HOLD [not in this older version] function combine to make a very flexible module.

With the aid of electronic switching, the GATE HOLD function is activated by the DLY/HOLD pull-switch pot on the front panel. The HOLD feature controls the incoming Gate signal and over-rides the length of the Gate. Short gates can be increased and long gates can be reduced to blips.
The GATE HOLD provides an added dimension for controlling the envelopes response to an incoming pulse train from sequencer or keyboard.
The duration of the HOLD is also Voltage controllable. The DELAY CV input jack is electronically switched between DELAY CV or HOLD CV input to match the state of the DLY/HOLD
panel control.
Features:

CV duration control of DADSR stages
Built in GATE processor with pull-switch activation
Gate and Trigger inputs
Envelope status LED
1V/OCT global control CV input
Switch selectable Linear/Log output
Snappy attack"

"This module is no longer in production at Modcan HQ, making this a rare opportunity to add some additional functionality to your system. The Processor Module is made up of 4 separate utility modules; Pre-Amp input, Envelope Follower, Integrator (Lag/Slew), & CV/Signal processor. Each section functions independently and as an isolated circuit."

via this auction

"Modcan has long since ceased production on this unit, making this a rare opportunity to add some additional functionality to your system. The Mixer/Panner can be used on audio and CV. Fully controllable as are all Modcan modules. Can be used for quad output, or as two independent stereo pairs."

New Audiovapor ReFill for Reason Thor synthesizer: Future Flow

"Audiovapor is pleased to announce the release of the new Reason ReFill: Future Flow.

Product description:
Future Flow is a Reason ReFill containing 250 new, original patches for Thor. Every patch uses the Thor Pattern Sequencer and goes deep into the polysonic
depths of this powerful instrument. Each patch has been built from the ground up using a variety of pattern scales, synthesis combinations, and complex yet musical
modulations.

Instant Inspiration: The melodies generated by the Pattern Sequencer are sure to inspire and can be
used for a wide variety of musical styles including soundtrack, electro, house, pop, and more.

Customize To Your Sound: Every note step of the Pattern Sequencer is used in every patch to enable
maximum flexibility and user customization options. For example, by assigning rests, reversing, changing
pattern length, transposing up or down the midi keyboard, or changing the Pattern Sequencer rate the
user can personalize and alter the melodies in many different ways.

Expand It: The Thor Pattern Sequencer note pitch is routed to CV out, thus transforming Thor into an
arpeggiator that can trigger any other Reason instrument. Future Flow could then be regarded as
250 new 16 bar arpeggiator patterns to trigger or stack other Reason instruments.

The Designer: Every one of the 250 patches uses new, unique arpeggiated melodies and patches created
specifically for this product by Alan Stuart. The sounds range from mellow bell tones, acid-style lines,
raw detuned synth sounds, to beautiful analog-style melodies. Almost every patch uses the mod wheel and
2 Thor rotary knobs for increased expression possibilities.

Future Flow is now available from www.audiovapor.com for $19.99. Audio demo and a free demo ReFill of 25 patches is also available."

An Irresponsible Patch 2

Part 1 here
"I haven't had time lately to work on any actual compositions but I was testing out my new Rob Hordijk Designs filter and liked this patch enough to do a quick video of it. Basically there are three MOTM-300 VCOs running into each input of the Hordijk filter and I'm 'playing' the MOTM-650 arpeggiators. A Moon 569 sequencer is providing modulation for the filters (there's a MOTM-485 in there too) and a MOTM-730 pulse divider is used to set the speed of the different 569 rows.

Thanks for watching."
