"YuSynth/ Music From Outer Space. Modular based off the Moog Model 15 but with added random and reverb .Bananafied (+12,0v, -12) power/ eurorack power/eurorack distro. Here is the modules all built minus Fixed filter needs wiring (has knobs for that module as well.) All modules working unless otherwise stated
Music from outer space- Keyboard controller ( could not test as I don't own a keyboard) YuSynth Fixed Filter bank- Board is built needs wiring and some IC's, has knobs included as well. YuSynth Transistor VCF, module completely built needing 2- CA2086 IC's the then should be ready to go. YuSynth S/H / Noise Music From Outer Space VC Reverb 2X YuSynth ADSR YuSynth Random Gates- not tested should be fine straight forward build 3X YuSynth VCO may need Calibration otherwise working/ tuned to my liking YuSynth VCA YuSynth Mxer
Case has belton reverb tank (same as intelijel springray) would like to sell as a complete synth. Have a Model 15 at the fraction of the price. "
"This is a short demo of the 2 waveshapers, controlled by 2 LFOs. Arp by Arturia Minibrute. All sounds are coming from the DIY modular.
Demo patch:
- VCO 1 is going into Yusynth/J.H Wavefolder, controlled by an LFO.
- VCO 2 is going into Ian Fritz 5pulser waveshaper, controlled by another LFO
- The two signals are mixed, and going into the Yusynth ARP4072 VCF (mostly open), and then into a YuSynth VCA.
- Minibrute CV output are going into VCOs, gate into YuSynth ADSR
"Custom made eurorack system, in a 12 mm plywood case (with very dark glaze). The only thing which is not DIY is the power supply, its a 4MS Mini Power. Every module was built on stripboard or on home etched PCB-s, except the Turing Machine, which was ordered from Thonk.

You can here a good quality audio file of this comparative here ( youtube audio is not very good, adds strange distorsion ) : http://www.4shared.com/file/117820238...
This is a side to side comparative between ARP Odyssey 4075 filter and a Yusynth ARP 4072 filter clone.
It's suposed that the 4075 filter that is installed on the ARP Odyssey is the same filter as the 4072 that was installed on the ARP 2600. I have to opportunity to compare the the original 4075 filter with the Yusynth 4072 clone module , so I've decided to make a comparative.
Synthesizers.com VCO is connected to the ARP Odyssey external input Synthesizers.com VCO is connected to the Yusynth ARP 4072 filter clone.
As you can heard the Yusynth module is a very accurate clone of the original ARP filter. Only slight differences can be heard at resonance settings but even these differences can be minimized changing the cut-off and resonance parameters. For example with 80% of resonance in both filters the sound could be not the same but if you move the resonance to 90% on the Yusynth module you could get the same sound.
So the only thing that I can say is... congrats Yves for your great work!!!

Update via Thalassa in the comments: "I've uploaded the video to vimeo. The quality is better but even not as good as should be . Maybe the filters sounds too good that audio codecs doesn't know how to compress it :P"
"Brand new. Highest quality parts available - no compromises. Artfully hand wired.
You are bidding on a Yusynth Diode Ladder VCF. The Yusynth Diode Ladder VCF sounds incredible. I love the brassiness you can get with this filter. The voltage control of the resonance is a great feature. Another vintage filter design sweetened by the synth guru Yves Usson.The Yusynth Diode Ladder VCF is a wonderful addition to every cabinet.
Here is some information about the Diode Ladder Filter from the Yusynth Website:
"Well, here is another classical and very special filter based on the EMS diode ladder filter!
This filter has a sound of its own and is the signature of the classical Pink Floyd's song "On the run".
My aim here was to design a quite faithful copy of this mythic filter while using components that minimize the burden of selecting a great number of matched transistors. This is why I used transistor arrays (CA3046, CA3096). However, because the CA3096 has become a rare part and is now overpriced, I have also designed a PCB with discrete trannies to replace it. As for all the other filters of my YUSYNTH project, I have added an input and an output buffer to adapt this filter to the input and output levels of my modular system.
I also added an input for voltage control of the resonance : everything was there in the original module but was not made available, probably because of the limited size of the patch pin matrix of the AKS/VCS3...
Because, my power supply standard is +15/-15V, I have included a power regulator IC (78L12) to convert +15V to +12V and a single transitor voltage regulator -15V to -9V (I wanted to use a 79L09 but changed my mind when I realized that this voltage regulator is quite a rare part and is difficult to source)." - Yves Usson

"I now propose an improved design of the yusynth ADSR. The changes are :
Now the input stage is a discrete Schmitt trigger. As such any signal (this means not necessarily a regular GATE signal) can be used to trigger the ADSR as soon as its level goes above 2V.
The input impedance is now very high which makes it possible to feed more than four ADSR on the same GATE signal source without problem.
A buffering stage as been added between the SUSTAIN potentiometer and the DECAY potentiometer. This fixes a slight bug that made the DECAY rate dependant of the SUSTAIN setting. Now they are completly independant.
A short/long envelope option is now provided by setting jumpers on the PCB which select proper timing capacitors and ATTACK resistors. Note that this can be as well connected to an "on panel" DPDT switch to allow interactive selection of the ADSR mode.
And ultimatly, a resistor can be added or ignored to set the range of the REVERSE ADSR mode. Without resistor, the range is 0V (quiet status) to -10V (max range); with the the resistor installed, the range is +10V (quiet mode) to 0V (max range).

This is a random patch that I've created trying to emulate the typical buchla patches
.
The MFOS is used here as gate generator. In this sequencer you can select gate on/off for every step, here odd steps are on and even are off, the sequencer is in random mode ( step is selected aleatory ) so every new clock signal can generate a gate signal or not :)
----------------------------------------
Two signal flow can be distinguished :
1
MFOS Gate - Slew Limiter ( acts as gate delay ) - ADSR1 - VCA1 - OUT
Niose - EMS Filter ( Cutoff modulated by sample and hold and auto oscillating ) - VCA1
VCO2 is modulated by LFO1 that is been modulated by VCO1 ( in LFO mode )
Multimode Filter Cut off is modulated by random signal ( not sample and hold )
----------------------------------------
This patch is hard to explain , so if you don't understand it don't worry is just me and my awful explanation.
Modules used :

"Finally got the Yusynth EMS style diode ladder filter to work. Decided to do a test with all 4 filters in my current modular setup:
1 - Yusynth Moog Transistor Ladder
2 - Yusynth ARP filter
3 - CGS Steiner Parker filter (lowpass input used)
4 - Yusynth EMS style diode ladder filter
All of them set to close to self oscillation.
Arp and Moog sound very similar to me. The Parker is harsher with less low end (but is state variable) , and the EMS is the most unique sounding I think, and has CV control for resonance. Very happy with all of them :)"

"This is a quick video of the maiden voyage of my DIY modular synth.
Most of the modules are Yusynth designs, but it also includes a few Paia, CGS and Ian Fritz designs.
The patch is fairly straight foward. The two randomized sequences are generated by Reaktor (via a Paia MIDI2CV). A Kurzweil Mangler is adding a small amount of Delay.
About 2:05 you will hear the second VCO frequency modulated by an Ian Fritz Chaos module.
A big thanks to all of the DIY synth community, but especially the Yusynth designer Yves Usson. His designs are brilliant and sound unbelievably good! Hopefully this video does them justice.
Thanks for watching!"
