Mutable Instruments Anushri and EHX Deluxe Memory Boy

Published on Sep 25, 2014 SYNTHWAY

"Just received my Anushri, and all I can say is that it is an amazing monosynth. I'm enjoying it a lot! Thank you Adam Armstrong once again for this beautiful synthesizer.

While playing and having fun with it I did this amazing sound (at least to me) with the Anushri and decided to record it... my girlfriend helped me with place choice and filming.

The sound is made with the internal digital oscillator detuned with the VCO (which is responsible for the higher pitched sound), long envelopes and subtle modulations. I really liked it!

There's an additional video that was made today, but couldn't edit just yet... I'll share as soon as I can!!

Please tell me what you think about it and what would you like to see next with the Anushri."

Animoog with the MIDI Expansion Pack appears to be the controller for the video.

Synthrotek Cosmic Echo FX Pedal Demo w/ Guitar Keyboards & Noise Toys

Published on Sep 25, 2014 synthrotek

"The Cosmic ECHO is an analog lofi delay that will work with just about anything you plug into it. The dark, lush, moody tones of the ever-popular PT2399 IC provide an out-of-this-world experience. Our take on this classic pedal pushes the chip's limits so you can explore all the gritty elements drifting at the edge of long delay rates. It already outperforms other bucket brigade style echoes, but just to be sure, we added 2 momentary switches, Zone and Warp.

Features:

- Dark, rich sounds with the analog vibe of a tape echo.

- Contains PT2399 IC, a bucket brigade style emulation. This IC has 16-bit sampling for 30-300 milliseconds. After that, the sample rate goes down in relation to the delay length. This results in artifacts and noise being introduced into the audio for weird, cosmic, psychedelic sounds. Use it like a typical echo or

- Delay length: 30ms-1,250ms.

- 3 knobs: Feedback, Mix and Rate. The Mix is a Wet only control that attenuates the amount of delayed signal in the signal chain. The Feedback controls the number of repeats in an organic-sounding way.

- Warp button. Momentary pushbutton switch that gives a bright, "small" speaker tone.

- Zone button. Momentary pushbutton switch that introduces feedback into the circuit momentarily. Great for adding rhythmic feedback and other strange sounds. The Zone amount can be adjusted by an internal trim pot.

- Pedal has a slight volume drop.

- Great for shoegaze, surf rock, ambient and experimental sounds.

- Takes a 9V battery or 9V center negative 2.1-2.5mm barrel Power Adapter (not included).

- Handmade in Portland, Oregon."

Silver Apples' Audio Command Station From 1968

Silver Apples / Lovefingers from 1968 Uploaded on May 30, 2011 wwwzubarjp

Dangerous Minds has a few pics up of Silver Apples' gear from back in 1968.

“In this shot you can see I have the oscillators mounted horizontally in plywood along with echo units, wah pedal, and so on. Here I am playing the ‘lead’ oscillator with my right hand, keying in rhythm oscillators with my elbow on the telegraph keys, changing the volume on an amp with my left hand, and singing. This was typical.”

Silver Apples played as recently as 2012. You can see videos of that performance here from the excellent Astronauta Pinguim. Note there is no relation to Morton Subotnick. Subotnick was known for his release of "Silver Apples of the Moon" featuring the Buchla Electronic Music Box in 1968.

Roland SH-2 PLUG-OUT Software Synthesizer Now Available

If you caught Sonic State's review Roland SH-2 PLUG-OUT posted here you might have caught that the software does not require the System-1. Stand alone it's priced at $145.  However if you own a System-1 there is a discounted price.

Airas on eBay

"The SH-2 PLUG-OUT Software Synthesizer is a total reproduction of the classic SH-2 synthesizer from 1979. Renowned for its raw vintage tone, the SH-2’s dual VCO plus sub oscillator configuration dishes out devastatingly fat basses, edgy leads and wild effects. Designed for SYSTEM-1 as well as Mac or PC hosts, the new SH-2 uses Analog Circuit Behavior technology to faithfully recreate the warm, rich sound of the original with a level of authenticity that can only come from Roland.

Precise recreation that leverages Roland's decades-old expertise and deep knowledge of the original analog units to faithfully capture the fine details of the SH-2's sound, right down to the behavior and interaction of the individual analog circuits.

Everything has been reproduced exactly:

- VCF which is capable of self-oscillation
- Attack and long decay characteristics of the steep envelope
- Unique harmonic makeup and pitch wavering
- Complex interactions between parameters that result from the original analog circuit design
- The subtle effect on tonality when the user tweaks parameters unrelated to the actual tone being produced

There are even some new features that were not available on the original:
- VCO range that is expandable to 64'
- Two envelopes
- Reverb, delay and crusher effects
- Autobend with support for reverse actions
- Tempo-syncable arpeggiator

The special price is offered to SYSTEM-1 owner.

Please prepare a 'SYSTEM-1 PLUG-OUT Information' card included in SYSTEM-1 packages at hand.

*The special price automatically shown to the customer who has already registered "Your Product Key" at Roland Account Service ／ Roland Content Store."
