This video examines the AMSynths AM1031 Multipurpose Filter. This state variable filter was created by Dennis Collin who also created the ARP 1047 Multimode Filter. The two filters are similar, but the 1031 includes an addition response called Peak.

AT 327 basic demo

video upload by brokenwave

"This is a simple demonstration of the AT-327 Multimode Filter from Triangulum Research.
The AT-327 is a multimode filter based on the Aries AR-327; a filter designed by Dennis Colin in 1975 for Aries Inc. in Massachusetts. Dennis Colin designed many important filters for ARP, Aries, and Oberheim, but the Aries filters are hard to come by. Their design is similar to that of the ARP 1047, but was simplified to reduce cost and make use of newer components that had come on the market as of 1975.
I have a particular fondness for the rich and sometimes gristly analog timbres produced by the Aries System 300 modules, and as challenge to myself, decided to adapt their designs to the very popular eurorack standard. This is the first character in the series."

Nonlinearcircuits VCO Demo

video upload by Randy Piscione

"This is a demo of an older Nonlinearcircuits VCO, based on a Mikulic/Electronotes core with phase sync and pan-pulse circuitry from the Aries AR-338.

The video starts with a sequence, and scope shots of four of the five waveforms the VCO puts out. I didn’t bother with the triangle, but there is a pulse, then saw, then pan pulse and processed saw. These are eventually blended together, and then the left side VCO is faded in. This one is hard synced to another VCO. The equipment list is at the bottom of the description.

The PCB is not designed for Eurorack so I built a dual version to fit them behind a double panel. I originally built it in 2015, made a new panel in 2018, and it stopped working shortly after that. Each VCO required 50 hookups, so 100 wires, 200 solder joints. Ouch!

When it failed, for no apparent reason, I removed all of the point-to-point wiring, couldn’t figure out what happened, and put it aside for quite a few years. If only I had known then what I know now, the failure was a simple IC problem. I had purchased TL074s from eBay that turned out to be pirate versions. It would’ve been a one minute fix. I decided to tackle it again recently, and re-soldered all of the wires. Unfortunately, I used crap wire, so off those came, and I did it again! Still had some issues but with substantial help from John at PM Foundations, we were able to bring it back to life.

Sequence – Pamela’s Workout, Analogue Solutions Oberkorn, NLC VCO, PM Foundations 3080 VCO, Doepfer A-143-2 Quad ADSR, Bastl A B C (X2), Frequency Central Waverunner (X2), ALM Pip Slope, d:Machinery Red LFO, PM Foundations Mod+

Drums – PM Foundations ER-808 (TB-808 tribute)

Bass – PM Foundations SEM tribute modules (8080 VCO, 3080 VCF, ADSR-D, etc.)

String-ish thing – PM Foundations resemble (X4), Full Bucket FB-3300 VST, Full Bucket Modul Air VST

Lead – Mutable Instruments Anushri

Cameo pad – Roland Juno 60

I think that’s it."

"Here we have 2 vintage serge modular music systems smms modules attached to a clear custom unlabelled front panel and power supply. The previous owner says they were probably from around 1980 or so and didnt remember anything else about them - 40+ years is a long time!

The modules appear to be the wonderful wave multiplier and triple comparator, but we’re not sure so see pics and do your own research before buying so you know what to expect. If it IS the wave multiplier, this is one of the most sought after of serge modules as it sounds like nothing else.

These came out of a cabinet with Aries modules (being sold separately) and are untested. Assume they’ll need repair."

"An incredibly sort-after vintage analogue monophonic synthesizer system. Contains an array of useful modules to get you up-and-running quickly but with plenty of room to explore the outer limits of analogue synthesis. Aries was a Massachusetts-based company who were producing the 300 series during the 1970s to early 80's alongside the classics such as Moog, ARP and Buchla. This system is in excellent condition with custom acrylic panels to allow you to see the craftsmanship within yet protecting the back of these exposed boards.

Ebashi Audio Eurorack Modules Including Dual Aries PMS 338 PP

Ebashi Audio CMOS 7555 CORE VCO /259 Timbre EXP /Triple LFO First touch ( no talking ) video upload by Dziam Bass

Ebashi Audio is a new maker of eurorack modules. You'll find their modules further below, including one based on the vintage Aries PMS-338 VCO. Note Nonlinear Circuits made one as well. The above video features the CMOS 7555 CORE VCO, 259 Timbre EXP, and Triple LFO (pics and descriptions for each further below).

Video description:

"It features Linear AC and Exponential FM inputs with attenuators, one Hard Sync input and a 1V / Octave tacking input, output and offset switch.

Connecting a signal to the EXP FM input will change the pitch of the oscillator.

The H-Sync and FM functions produce a full sound, and it octave tracks very well.

This VCO features four waveforms: Sine, Triangle, Ramp and Pulse wave.

There are trimpots for 1Volt / Octave tuning, High Frequency tracking, and Ramp wave connection. There are two trimpots for the sine wave: one for roundness and one for symmetry. The roundness trimmer also adjusts the amplitude of the sine wave a little.

Parameters are already set. If you would like to adjust these you can do it by ear or using an oscilloscope.

This 7555 VCO also features a 3-way switch providing 3 frequency ranges: MID, VCO and LFO.

The back of the module allows you to ‘pre patch’ various functions.

The Ebashi 259 Timbre module is a dual wavefolder inspired by the famous Timbre section of the Buchla 259 oscillator as implemented in the Easel.

There are four CV inputs, the first and fourth can be controlled with an attenuverter.

Two IN attenuators control the overall wavefold amount of each wavefolder.

Two inputs allow two oscillators to drive the Dual 295 Buchla Timbre simultaneously.

A switch enables the rich timbres of both wavefolders to be shaped in series or parallel.

A triple low frequency oscillator that provides manually variable wave shapes in a wide range of frequencies.

Two waveforms are available: triangle, and square wave.

Rate and Depth of each LFO can be adjusted and an independent 3-way switch provides 3 frequency ranges: MID, VCO or LFO.

The module also offers three outputs (A, B & C) which can be conveniently mixed down and out.

The back of the module allows you to ‘pre patch’ each of the four outputs.
The back of the module allows you to ‘pre patch’ various functions, including CV 1 and 4 as well as both inputs and outputs. There are also two trimpots for gain adjustment."
