New BOSS RE-202 & RE-2 Space Echos | The Next Generation of Space Echo

video upload by BOSSchannel

"The legendary Roland RE-201 Space Echo experience returns in an advanced delay pedal with modern features.

Introduced in 1974, the Roland RE-201 Space Echo stands among the most legendary and sought-after effect units ever produced. This tape-based classic remained in production for over 14 straight years, and its distinctive rhythmic echo sounds, warm character, and highly playable sonic quirks still inspire musicians, producers, and audio mixers over four decades on.

Backed by intensive R&D and our latest innovations, the RE-202 faithfully delivers the authentic sound and behavior of the Space Echo, like never before. Built by the company that designed the original, this advanced pedal captures the RE-201’s magic in flawless detail, from the magnetic tape and motor properties to the vibrant spring reverb and colorful preamp circuit. And to take things even further, we’ve expanded the vintage Space Echo experience with lots of new features tuned for today’s music.

Tape Echo Magic

Tape echo was the first delay effect and one of the first effect processors available for electronic musicians. In contrast with today’s CPU-based digital units, a tape echo is a simple machine that uses a motor to pull magnetic tape across one or more record/playback heads. Warm, full, and dynamic, the tape echo sound is influenced by many factors. The ever-changing input level colors the sound with varying amounts of tape saturation and compression. In addition, motor speed fluctuations, friction, wow and flutter, and other elements introduce an appealing modulated character that’s subtle and continually evolving.

Sputnik Variable Waveform Generator

"The Sputnik Variable Waveform Generator is a Buchla inspired discrete triangle core oscillator. One major change is the inclusion of a hard sync vs. the typical triangle core soft sync. The module features 5 dedicated audio outputs (sub, pulse, sine, saw and triangle) and various animation controls such as built-in waveshaper, saw animator and drive circuits with attenuation amount inputs. It also has a vco/lfo switch, both linear and exponential FM inputs with attenuators and very good tracking."

For those that may not know, Sputnik is Roman Filippov's (of Black Corporation) other brand.

"Here's the new Variable Waveform Generator from Sputnik Modular. It's a discrete Buchla style triangle core oscillator with individual waveshaping animations, sub oscillator, linear and exponential FM, hard sync and LFO mode.

In this video we take a look at 19 patches to break out of the basics with your oscillators, looking at more advanced patches that demonstrate a variety of synthesis/oscillator functions and look at adding dynamic animations to your sounds right at the core of the patch. While this video focuses on the Variable Waveform Generator specifically you can apply these patches to other oscillators and wave shapers, so give them a go and feel free to let us know in the comments what's working for you.

Ziqal Dimension wavetable VCO interface overview

video upload by John Schussler

"My Dimension wavetable VCO just arrived today from Ziqal and I'm trying to figure out its interface. (There's no manual yet, they say it's in the works.) It's almost completely intuitive, except for a couple issues, so I don't feel like I'm lost without a manual, which is good.

I'm not spending a bunch of time going through all the wavetables. It has an SD card with lots of tables on it, and there are 6400 you can scan through if you're so inclined.

I'm not inclined right at the moment. Just some samples for now.

"The Dimension wavetable engine uses 2048 samples * 256 waveforms wavetables to bring high definition tables to your system. Its wavetables reproduction precision will fit any of your audio textures needs.

Dimension is compatible with the Serum wavetables format and feature an intuitive and fast file browser, allowing you to explore thousand of already available wavetables. Just drop your favorites wavetables on its SD card and instantaneously start exploring new sonic territory.

24 voices
Dimension is capable of playing not less than 24 voices simultaneously within 10HP tanks to its embeed modern high end audio processor. Depending on the active patch mode voices can be assigned to chords polyphony or unison engine

Polyphonic stereo, Dimension, Dual or LFO modes
The Classic mode provides 4 oscillator voices panned over stereo outputs. You can control theses voices in CV programing chords or with the internal notes scaler and or feeding midi into the module.

The Dimension mode allows the waveform to be morphed across the entire module memory in an X Y fashion. As the module allows to store internally 25 wavetables of each maximum 256 waveforms. This mode allows wavetable morphing over (25*256) 6400 different waveforms.

Dual / LFO mode

Dual mode output two different wavetables on each output. LFO mode operates as the dual mode, except that the frequency range of output two is set in the subsonic range.

In any mode, voices can also be multiplied 6 times and detuned to play massive 6 voice unison. When using 4 voices it brings not less than a total of 24 voices out of your oscillator."
