GRP - A1

video upload by SchneidersLaden

"Let's listen to the GRP Synthesizer A1 - a very small analog monosynth with a high-quality sound, MIDI, CV connectability – it can be used stand-alone in its very solid case, or mounted in a eurorack modular synth. It has a good size for jamming and a quality feel.

The sound is similar to the bigger GRP synths. The filter design has a lot of character and is capable of producing formant/vocal-like sounds and a liquid sounding resonance. The great sounding distortion parameter offers many more options for designing sounds. With its MIDI and CV/Gate inputs this is a synthesizer that fits in all studio or live-environments."

First demo of the new GRP A1 Mini Desktop Synth posted here. Front panel and system diagram pics below.

"Per la prima volta in assoluto, Grp Synhesizer presenta Grp A1

Il sintetizzatore monofonico Grp A1 può essere utilizzato come uno strumento indipendente oppure si possono filtrare segnali esterni attraverso il circuito risonante Low Pass 18dB VCF.
La presenza di tre segnali interni (VCO, SUB e NOISE) garantisce potenza timbrica e facilità d'uso. Con i due oscillatori a bassa frequenza - LFO (il primo integra un Sample & Hold S&H) e il generatore di inviluppo ADSR, è possibile avere comportamenti di modulazione ciclici o transitori.
Lo strumento può essere alimentato tramite un cavo USB di tipo C collegato a qualsiasi alimentatore USB da 2,5A. A1 può anche essere estratto dal suo cabinet per essere facilmente installato in qualsiasi sistema modulare Eurorack alimentandolo utilizzando i normali cavi piatti forniti con i sistemi Eurorack

"For the first time ever, Grp Synhesizer presents Grp A1

The Grp A1 monophonic synthesizer can be used as a standalone instrument or external signals can be filtered through the Low Pass 18dB VCF resonant circuit.
The presence of three internal signals (VCO, SUB and NOISE) guarantees tonal power and ease of use. With the two low-frequency oscillators - LFO (the first integrates a Sample & Hold S&H) and the ADSR envelope generator, it is possible to have cyclical or transient modulation behaviors.
The instrument can be powered via a USB Type-C cable connected to any 2.5A USB power supply. A1 can also be extracted from its cabinet to be easily installed in any Eurorack modular system by powering it using the normal flat cables supplied with Eurorack systems

4MS SWN (Spherical Wavetable Navigator) Eurorack Six Voice Oscillator

Published on May 24, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"The 4MS SWN (Spherical Wavetable Navigator) is a eurorack module with six wavetable oscillators that can produce thick drones as well as chords. The SWN gets its name from the fact that its wavetables are held within a three dimensional sphere shaped space that can be morphed through and navigated. The SWN has the ability to load in or record wavetables, the oscillator frequencies can be quantized and it can store and load presets.

In this video we used Malekko's Varigate 4+ for sequencing, the TINRS Wobbler & Edgecutter for modulation as well as an Intellijel Planar 2. We also used a Doepfer A-105 SSM VCF and GRP VCA.

"An in-depth store & synth studio tour of Noisebug in Pomona, California -- including the Noisebug synthesizer showroom, modular synths, and synthesizer music event / performance space.

Join me on this journey into Noisebug's storefront location with Blake Griffith, General Manager & musician. Noisebug is owned by Chuck Oken, Jr. and the current space was the original Analogue Haven location, which was started in 2005.

Blake was kind enough to provide me with a Noisebug synthesizer studio and store tour, and gives great commentary and insight into the history of the store, various analog, digital and modular synthesizers, and the synth industry as a whole.

Noisebug stocks keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, electronic percussion and desktop modules from all over the world. They specialize in Multi-Format Modular Synthesizers, including Moog Format (MU), Buchla Format, Eurorack, Serge, 5U and beyond.

Mammoth 5MU System With Many Extras - Smegmar The Medicant & Sysyphus

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

List of modules at the listing and captured below.

"Large-format modular system offers: 40 modules of various brands and 150 Synthesizer.com modules. In addition, there are various power-related modules, mounted in the front and the rear.

The system is 275 MU’s front face panels spaces plus 32-more in the rear. Featuring: 27 full-range multi-waveform oscillators, 12-filters, 3 discrete MIDI interfaces, and 4 sequencers. ( not including the Matrixbrute features)

It has taken over a year to purchase and assemble all of the modules: this system is completely ready to use. Most of this system is housed in solid walnut cabinetry.

There are a few modules I bought in used condition, but the rest are new purchases. The cabinetry, controllers, and cabling are all new. After assembly, this system has not been moved, exposed to smoke, or touched by anyone but me.

The entire system is in excellent condition, with a couple of VERY minor scuffs where modules have been periodically installed and/or relocated...

History: I first purchased a Moog System-55 re-issue modular. I discovered Synthesizers.com when doing a simple google search. I learned their clone of the Moog Dual Sequencer Compliment wing was not only superior to that of the Moog’s, it was nearly 1/3 the price. So from there, I bought a System 66 and A/Bd both the tonal and functionality aspects of each to discover the Synthesizers.com sounded better to my ears, had more functions, and was more stable. I sold the Moog, and steadily expanded the system it is today.

I am 100% satisfied with this system.

It would take upwards of 6 months to get all of these modules (and a couple of these you may not able to get at all) and a significant amount of time to install and wire the modules, and assemble the large manual binder.

It also took 2 full days to convert 16 of the modules into their revised versions, yet I have not added the price of the conversion kits to the list below."

GRP Eurorack Modules Bass With Vermona TwinCussion Drums

Published on Nov 2, 2018 Perfect Circuit

"We put together a bass synth with the great sounding GRP Eurorack modules and then used a Vermona TwinCussion to add some drums underneath the bass. The GRP output module provides great looking backlit VU meters so you can see your levels clearly. The GRP modules we used were the P02 VCO, P03 24db VCF, P07 dual LFO, P05 ADSR envelope, P06 VCA and P20 output module.

GRP Eurorack Expected to Ship by the End of the Month

via STROMKULT

"The first batch of modules by GRP should arrive in Berlin by the end of the month. We are very much looking forward to try these Italian modules that promise to bring the outstanding quality of GRPs stand-alone synthesizers to eurorack. Not only high-quality parts and manufacturing distinguish this manufacturer, but also their sense for details. For example:

an audio through path in an envelope-follower module
or the lovely VU-meters on the output module
or a through path for gate signals in an ADSR
or this ultra-wide-range octave switch on the VCO module
or the feature list of the two available filters: separate outputs AND an additional output that can be switched between the available filter-slopes, two audio inputs and a built-in distortion are nothing less than an invitation for wild feedback adventures."
