via this auction
"This module was custom built for me by Tony Allgood of Oakley modular design and sounds stunning ! It is an original vintage minimoog filter board from my early minimoog and not a copy ! I have a full set of schematics from Tony and I also have recordings of this module on my soundcloud with a macbeth oscillator driving it.Please get in contact if you would like to hear recordings. this will only work with eurorack modulars but could be re panelled to work with dot com format as the included power supply also has +/-15v

The panel was made by the very excellent resynthesis using original moog modular metalwork. the module is quite deep at 17cm so will not fit in a shallow case unless the board is turned around which could be done. the patchbay module gives all the various ins and outs andd some additional extra functions including pedal inputs. Tony also built me a custom power supply which is included and runs both +12/-12v and +15/_15v as well as the miming filter. there is plenty of power to run some more modules as well so could all be used to power a small system with additional modules. I also have two custom modified Ernie Ball pedals not included which control cv to the filter."

Camel Audio Acquired by Apple?

via MacRumors

"Apple appears to have acquired popular music plug-in and effect maker Camel Audio, based on information found on corporate registry site Companies House [PDF]. Camel Audio's address has been updated to 100 New Bridge Street, which is Apple's London address, and the company's sole director is now listed as Apple lawyer Heather Joy Morrison, suggesting the company is in the possession of Apple.

Camel Audio is known for its range of plug-ins, synthesizers, effects, and sound libraries, which were available via the company's Alchemy software. Previously available for $249, Alchemy included more than 1000 sounds, 5.5GB worth of samples, a powerful additive resynthesis engine, spectral resynthesis, a virtual analog synthesizer, and more. Its powerful engine was highly useful to those who liked to create and manipulate audio for unique sounds."

Interesting. Curious if it will become part of Garage Band. Deeper instruments coming to the platform?

Waldorf WAVE 32 Voice SN 9511000133

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

via MATRIXSYNTH CLASSIFIEDS

"As a long time Waldorf enthusiast and Waldorf WAVE freak, see my http://unofficial.waldorf-wave.de pages, I made the decision to sell my WAVE +16 (= 32 voice, 61 keys). I just did not played it that often anymore. I still love it, but I can't justice its stay in my flat anymore.

But I still own many, many Waldorf synths. And I made my final thought about selling it after the release of the iPad app NAVE which gives me many WAVE functions and a sound that is fantastic. And for turning knobs there is my Waldorf Q32 and XTk30 at my place. So this is not a "good bye" from Waldorf wavetable synths.

It is one of the even more rarer 32 voice models.
61 keys, and standard blue/gray coloured.
It got the special "speed-up" modification by Waldorf for a bit higher internal clocked CPU.

I think there is no need to tell you about the beauty (optical and soundwise) of this top rank synth.

It is running on the latest available OS 1.902 (post Waldorf version). This OS also allows to do resynthesis based on .WAV files of up to 512 kB size (limit by the WAVEs RAM). Of cause I provide the last original Waldorf WAVE system too. And the factory sound.

It got a USB stick socket where the disk drive used to be. This enables data exchange with every USB equipped PC/Mac, as there is no special formation except for up to 100 different folder names. Ever folder represents one virtual disk.

It comes with a special flightcase and a PDF manual in english and german.

The fan in the back was exchanged with a higher quality one with way less acoustic noise.

I am the original owner of this 1995 built WAVE.

Known problems:
- some parts of the Nextel colour are of the edges. Mainly on the back rim of the panel. This is typical for many WAVEs, even when they never left a studio. A bit of repair paint is included (but not yet used). Its 8 of 10 optical. But the unique and great design is still unmatched by all other synths. You will still feel a bit like having to bow down before switching it off.
- The LCD backlight is not working anymore. Several people on this list repaired this themself. But I am not a skilled synth tech at all.
- One row of pixels in the LCD is most of the times dead. Never searched for the real reason, so it might be just a minor problem like a bent ribbon cable or a cold soldering point.
- One voice got a slightly higher resonance then the others. A spare Curtis filter chip is included. But you may just skip the voice in the voice assignment via the service page for a perfect 31 voice WAVE or just play it anyway, as this is not that noticeable on most sounds anyway. But I better tell all I know here. Even a skilled musician preferred to play a concert with this WAVE and this a bit off voice in favour of using a different WAVE (with 16 voices only) that was available at the same time for this event.

Absolutely ONLY LOCAL PICK UP here at my place near Stuttgart. Of cause you are invited to test and play the instrument before you made your final decision about the sale. I don't have the time to deal with custom form and shipping companies, as the WAVE is just to big and heavy to be shipped from a post office. I know that this reduces the possible numbers of potential buyers, but please accept this. But if you should be willing o arrange everything including a pick up by some third person or a company at my place or my office, it is OK.

I know these 32 voice WAVEs are VERY rare. Not just the typical "rare" as used on eBay auctions for synths sold 100 times more. And there had been only one or two WAVEs with 32 voices on eBay in the last 10 years if I remember it right.

keep on turning these knobs

Radon Atomic Resynthesis

Published on Jun 14, 2013 JeffreyPlaide·94 videos

"Radon Atomic Resynthesis is an ethereal, wildly-surreal experimental electronic music composition. The composition is inspired by almost random electronic tonalities and frequency modulations created on the Ionic Performer VST synthesizer. The beauty about the Ionic Performer (like the EMS Synthi synthesizers of which the Ionic Performer is a re-worked variation with integrated keyboard and a push-button matrix instead of patch pins) is that the envelope (trapezoid function) can be automatically re-triggered. This creates a repeating simple sequence of a single music event. By altering the oscillator controls, modulation sources and ring-modulation, many interesting and wild pulses can be produced in real-time and recorded. It was the raw stream of re-triggered pulsations and modulations that became the basis for the whole work. Inspired by early science-fiction electronic music, the Ionic Performer VST could deliver the sonic combinations and unexpected tonal collisions that cross-modulated audio oscillators can create if connected in this way. The first mix consisted of a bass track created on the Ionic Performer VST - low pulses with shrieks of higher modulations. Next came the mid-tones. Again created on the Ionic Performer, but with higher pulsations and strange FM collisions. It was then necessary to create an ambient texture "wash", so the bass line was slowed by a factor of 300% and processed with heavy reverb - sounding very science fiction and somewhat alien in context. An organ-like chord was created on the ORGANized trio VST with the Valhalla Frequency Echo for added effect. This 5-note chord gave added strange texture. The low-frequency background vibration is the same chord slowed by a factor of 500% and processed with flanging. The chorus of voices was created using the Tapeotronic (Mellotron emulation) keyboard playing a 3-note chord with added delay. Another Tapeotronic chord was used for the higher "alien voices" that fade in and out. This whole first mix was slowed by a factor of 200% with added reverb, and added to the first mix session. This gave the feeling of a kind of infinity feedback sound. All of these elements became part of the main master first mix. This main mix was then further added to by a ring-modulated and convoluted version of itself. In the middle portion of the composition a ring-modulated, convoluted, filtered, flanged, reverberated and 300% slow version came into being with added low-frequency background vibrations and pulsating bass sinewave tones created by signal generation. The middle portion is bracketed by falling nodulated inverted sinewaves. The last element is a high sinewave tone - rather like a singing tone. This final mix created the strange combination of forces that married all the textural elements into a full and atmospheric collage of electronic tone structures and modulations. The visuals were created by pure video synthesis techniques - electronic texture weaves, linear pulsations and sinusoidal moire patterns. Superimposed are strange solarised and edge-processed derivations of elliptical formations. The atom is represented by rotating moiré ellipses, with a cloud of particles representing the nucleus. Many kinds of solarised rotating forms are included to graphically illustrate the process of atomic synthesis. The end represents just a cloud of electrons being swept away by quantum forces in the matrix of space-time."

Parallella: A Supercomputer For Everyone on Kickstarter

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adapteva/parallella-a-supercomputer-for-everyone
If the Kickstarter video causes your mouse to disappear, click off screen and it should come back.

Note the video and project is not directly focused on synthesis, however the application (like the iPad as a synthesis platform) should be obvious. The following is a write-up on that potential in via reader cheater:

"I'm in no way affiliated with those guys, but this thing opens so many possibilities for the synthesis aficionado that I have to let you know what's in store. Why is this cool? Simply put, it's a Kickstarter for an open platform which could enable synthesis methods that are currently not possible, unless you lug around an expensive workstation, and put them in a desktop-module style case. For those intents and purposes it's a self-contained system with a 45 GHz CPU, the size of a DVD box.

Below are some examples of synthesis methods that could work out thanks to the radically different way this thing works. Each of those is slow on current PCs and because of the parallel nature of the chip in question are tons faster to execute on it:

1. granular synthesis. Ever try to run one of those in VST? They sound better the more parts you can have. Current PCs can only run so many parts, and you need thousands per voice. This thing could easily run a polyphonic synthesizer.

Here are some demos of what you can do with a granular synthesizer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgcVr6lTzDs
http://www2.camelaudio.com/music/AlchemyAnalysisDemo02.mp3
http://www2.camelaudio.com/music/Alchemy-PresetDemo-JohnLehmkuhl.mp3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTODhn-UROc

See how Alchemy only allows 10 grains per voice? You could have an order of magnitude more, with each grain bank (Alchemy has 10) modulated separately.

"I screwed up the video portion but decided to use what I had anyways. This is the same synth patch as my previous video "Typical JLR Patch Demo" except this time instead of using a keyboard and MIDI to CV converter I'm using the SympleSEQ 8 step sequencer designed by http://shop.hexinverter.net/ and built by http://www.bigbluewave.co.uk/resynthesis/index.htm to control pitch and gate. Near the end I add in the Moon Modular 569 sequencer to control pitch and gate instead, while the SympleSEQ controls a STG Sea Devils VCF."

Transwave - Term (now Audio Term): New functions

sympleSEQ Now Available

You might remember sympleSEQ from this previous post. Hex Inverter wrote in to let us know their IndieGoGo funding blew past their goal and they are now in production. They also made some significant updates to the feature set.

"What am I talking about? Well, the original concept was VERY minimalistic. There was nothing other than tempo, gate out and CV output. Through the discussion had with members on the forums where this was being developed, people requested pause/reset functionality be included as well. Using a very small amount of components and some trickery, I was able to achieve this -- so now sympleSEQ also boasts the option of adding reset/pause functionality!

Possibly best of all is that I had a panel artist come to me who wants to make panels for everyone!

I have a limited number of kits left in stock, but plenty of bare circuit boards for people. There is a well documented assembly manual for people as well.

sympleSEQ can be found/purchased at: http://shop.hexinverter.net

Panels will be available soon from Ben at: http://www.resynthesis.co.uk

Here is the build manual"

Benjolin Meets sympleSEQ -- a sequenced analog synthesis jam
YouTube Uploaded by hexinverterDOTnet on Dec 5, 2011

"Rob Hordyk's amazing Benjolin meets hexinverter.net's sympleSEQ for a little jam before they get enclosed in their final enclosure.

Here I am driving the two oscillators and the onboard filter at different times with sympleSEQ, as well as just noodling away on the Benjolin.

sympleSEQ is an easy to make 8-step analog step-sequencer. It utilizes board-mount components and a unique dual PCB design, making it simple to create an analog sequencer for driving your voltage controlled synthesizer gear or circuit bent toys with. It is particularly suited to lo-fi artists due to the low feature set (and thus complexity). It is also very economical to build compared to any other sequencer on the market.

sympleSEQ can be driven by a wide range of voltages (9-15V DC) and thus is highly portable.
