MOOG SOURCE VINTAGE ANALOG SYNTH

via this auction

"From MOOG: In addition to the memory capable of holding 16 presets, the Source features a 37-note keyboard, and two VCOs that can be selected among three waveforms and three octaves. Programmed presets can be saved to an audio cassette interface to free up the onboard memory for additional new patches. The 24dB/octave VCF has parameters for keyboard tracking, cutoff frequency, resonance, and envelope amount. There are two ADSR envelope generators that can be set in single or multi trigger modes, one for the VCF and one for the VCA. For modulation, the Source features LFO and sample and hold. The unit also features a rudimentary sequencer."

ANALOGUE SOLUTIONS STATION X ANALOG MODULAR SYNTH

via this auction

"KEY FEATURES OF STATION X

Pure analogue voice circuitry
Fully patchable
Compact modular synth
Available as a module (without case)
Plenty of modulation possibilities
Rugged steel construction
MIDI In for software sequencer / keyboard control

Comprises:

MIDI to CV Converter (so you can play it from MIDI).
Voltage Controlled Oscillator with pulse width control input.
Low Pass ‘Moog’ style filter, 24dB/oct.
Voltage Controlled Amplifier (wired in series to the VCF).
Envelope Generator.
VC Low Frequency Oscillator. Four waveforms and CV controlled of frequency.
Noise Generator.
Sample and Hold.

Station X is a compact “mini-modular” synthesiser. It contains all the essential ingredients to form complete synth patches.

Think of it as a mini Red Square or Tereshkova (two other, larger modular synths we produce). In fact, a mini Red Square is a good analogy. If has the same filter and similar key features (though Red Square is 2 VCO).

Station X is ideal for beginners who want to dip their toes into the world of modular synths, the travelling producer who wants to take a true analogue modular synth around to different sessions, or home musician who perhaps is limited for space.

Station-X comes with 5 splitter leads, so you can feed a signal (source) to 2 destinations. This is like having 5 mini-multiple modules built in."

"Another attempt at a live 3 monotribe jam for the Korg Monomania contest, just used some fx and the 3 monotribes, running them at half speed allows longer patterns as seen here, the track is called "Technology & Science" and is a homage to Kraftwerk, I might do a full version with lyrics as it was hard to fit everything in 2 minutes ;) No multitracking or other tricks!"

Curetronic Steiner Filter Audio Demo

"Over the last year Curetronic redesigned the kits for building synthesizer modules. Mainly the PCBs have become smaller and the connectors moved more to the border of the PCB. Some modules however received an improved circuit design, like the Steiner filter clone. Since this is the most popular Curetronic filter, I decided to make an audio demo.

Modules used: Curetronic Steiner VCF, Curetronic ADSR, 2x Curetronic 100m 112 VCO, Curetronic 100m 130 VCA, 2x LFO (tri), mixer, Silentway ES-3.

Additionally my company Schall Werkstatt (http://www.bild-schall.com) took over the international sales of the Curetronic kits and modules. Special service: Vastly improved response time and most kits are available for immediate delivery.

Here is the product page for the Curetronic Steiner filter kit with more details:

SIGNS - A Buchla Compilation

via Giorgio of Gleetchplug

"A COMPILATION OF WIGGLERS’ GRAPHICAL NOTATIONS FOR THE BUCHLA SYNTHESIZER

Some months ago I’ve asked to the fellow Buchla musicians of the MuffWigglers website to partecipate to a collective experiment on music notation for the Buchla synthesizer. In the world of modular synthesizers music we often see free improvisations, sketches, etudes, but very rarely “composed” music with notation.

This experiment was an attempt to involve nowadays modular musicians in the field of composition by means of graphical notation.

The result is finally here. Signs is not only an amazing collection of mind blowing music, it is also the proof that notation in electronic music is alive and kicking and indeed deserve further explorations.

I am proud and happy to present you this amazing collective work. I hope you will enjoy it.
