MODE MACHINES SL-1 Synthlab

video of it in action here
"The SYNTHLAB uses a 100% true analog circuitry with subtractive synthesis which is designed in a classic way. This design is not new because it started in the early 70´s with the voltage controlled modular systems. The use of the low pass filter based on the transistor cascade lets the synthlab sound very similar to the well known early Moog synthesizers.

As the SYNTHLAB has a built in MIDI interface you will find it easy to integrate into any MIDI studio setup. The SYNTHLAB also has a built in MIDI-TO-CV/GATE interface which can become very handy, when using vintage equipment. The SYNTHLAB is a hand-made true discrete analogue synthesizer built in Germany. We have used components from the 70s and 80s but also modern technology. There are no DSP´s or such built in, so the sound is true, pure and very experimental like a smal synthesizer laboratory - hence the name: SL-1 SYNTHLAB.

The setup of the SL-1 is very easy-to-use if you have played around with other anlogue synthesizers. Every parameter has its own pot for controlling and playing with the modulation and everything can be controlled manually in real-time. The controls of the modules are diveded into groups on the frontplate so they can be visually seperated for easier use. For basic setup you have 2 VCO´s and an external audioinput. The selected signal can be routed through the VCF and VCA before it reaches the audiooutput. For each VCF and VCA you have an own envelope generator. Additonally you have various modulation routing possibilities through the LFO´s.

I plan to make a better video after I get a minor bug fix into the program. My plan is to create a training guide or lesson plan that uses SynthLab and the built in oscilloscope program to learn about wave forms and sounds.

Pocket Piano with Synthlab SL-1

"Here is the new Critter and Guitari Pocket Piano MIDI doing its cool arpeggiator triggering the Mode Machines Synthlab SL-1 analog synth.

The output of the Synthlab synth is going to a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo (TTE).

Starting at 1:00 the sound of the Synthlab is turned down revealing the sound of the Pocket Piano alone, which is pretty sweet!

SynthLab for the XO - One Laptop Per Child Project

Remember TamTam? (click to check out the video) TamTam is a music suite similar to GarageBand for the OLPC XO. OLPC or One Laptop Per Child is a nonprofit organization that is trying to get laptops in the hands of children across the world, who could not afford one otherwise. You can read more about the program on the OLPC website. They are currently offering a buy one get one free up until Dec 31st, so if you are curious you can buy one for yourself and one will be sent out to a child.

What's interesting to synthheads is it will also feature a modular synth program called SynthLab. Think Native Instruments Reactor, the original Seer Systems Reality and other module based software synthesizers where you connect various components to create sound. SynthLab is "designed for older children who are ready to venture into more sophisticated sound design, SynthLab is a mini-lab for acoustic- and electronic-circuit construction." Pretty cool.

New Vintage Synthlab AWM-3 Wavefold Mixer Eurorack Module

Published on Jan 2, 2017 Vintage Synthlab

Playlist:

1. AWM-3 Demo #1 : Eurorack analog wavefold mixer module introduction to wave shaping

"First video to introduce the AWM-3 16hp Eurorack modular wave-shaping mixer. An essential tool and utility combined that will give you real-time analog signal processing and the ability to produce new and unique sounds. The AWM-3 is a 16hp Eurorack modular synthesis wave-shaping / wave-folding mixer with added features of compression and multiple mix modes, including matrix mix outputs. This video shows the basic setup for wave-folding."

2. AWM-3 Demo #2 : Eurorack analog wavefold mixer module compression feature

"The second demo for the AWM-3, a 16hp Eurorack modular synthesis wave-shaping / wave-folding mixer with added features of compression and multiple mix modes, including matrix mix outputs. In this video, we demonstrate the compressor feature."

3. AWM-3 Demo #3 : Eurorack analog wavefold mixer module LFO modulation to wave shaping

"The third demo for the AWM-3, a 16hp Eurorack modular synthesis wave-shaping / wave-folding mixer with added features of compression and multiple mix modes, including matrix mix outputs. This video shows one example of connection external modulation sources (LFOs in this case) and applying them to each wave-fold bias (CV input) for each wave-fold stage while in a triple-wave-fold configuration."

4. AWM-3 Demo-4 : Eurorack modular wave-shaping mixer module

5. AWM-3 Demo #5 : Stereo Chorus effect with wavefolding and matrix-mixing

Details on the module via VSL:

"AWM-3 - Analog Wavefold Mixer

Analog Wavefold Mixer Eurorack Module in 16HP

$279.00

The AWM-3 is an all analog, real-time, complex wave-shaping (triple wave-folder) 3-channel mixer module with added features of compression and multiple mix modes including matrix mixes. The combination of multiple access points (outputs of various mixes), wave-folding, and compression allow for an extremely wide array of signal processing, including complex chorus-like sounds.

All three channels are identical and can operate independently. They can also be cascaded (connected in series) to obtain double and triple wave-folding. The compressor at the front-end of each channel allows for not only unique wave-shaping, but the ability to send asymmetrical wave-shaped signals through multiple wave-fold stages while preserving a better managed signal process.

With individual outputs for each channel, a master mix (and master level control), as well as three matrix mix outputs as: “MIX 1+2” (1 OUT + 2 OUT), “MIX 2+3” (2 OUT + 3 OUT), “MIX 1+3” (1 OUT + 3 OUT), the AWM-3 is wave-shaper, signal processor, and multi-mode mixer.

Vintage Synth Lab : D-ENV

Published on Dec 31, 2017 Vintage SynthLab

"The D-ENV is two modules in one. A utility and effect, for both module functions. A standard exponential analog envelope generator (AR/ADSR), plus a Delayed Gate / Trigger & Gate-Hold with independent access to all both module functions, yet linkable via the push of a front panel switch--in order to route either a Delayed Gate or Delayed Trigger to the inertial AR/ADSR as initial EG triggering or additional "re-trigger" of the AR/ADSR function."
