Yuyo cmos synth - First try Attiny85 dco with analog cmos shaping and twin t filter
video upload by JIANT
"everything is from the synth to the zoom recorder, twin t drums, xor snare, pt2399, and cmos stuff.
attiny85 reseting the phase of 40106 oscilators, the digital control accepts 1voct from keysetp and go to the 40106 inputs through resistors, a little rc for filtering the pwm, and for this reason when you change the oscillator frequency you can get intervals and crazy stuff. is not orthodox but suits my need for Rich timbres. the dco goes to 40106 buffers , and then 4040 dividers, twin t filters, one for each of the two voices, one goes to env, vca, filter, delay, and the other one to clock divider and filter, to get the sub osc.
firmware super simple only for checking the conversion from filtered frecuency of the attiny85 to my 40106 non exponencial vcos.
currently is tracking 10 octaves really good, the trick is put a voltage divider in the cv in of the attiny because keystep has 0 to 10v and the attiny accepts 0 to 5v tehn the tracking inside the attiny converts o.5v oct to 1 volt oct. i dont know anything about coding but i made it with chat gpt and my design . source code will be in the coments ."

Introducing PlayAUDIO2U: The Ultimate Live Performance AUDIO & MIDI Interface from iConnectivity
video upload by iConnectivity
Check with dealers on the right for availability.
Press releae follows:
CALGARY, Alberta – January 13, 2025 – iConnectivity today announces the highly anticipated follow-up to the industry-standard PlayAUDIO1U, the new PlayAUDIO2U. Building on a reputation of made-to-tour live performance solutions, the PlayAUDIO2U sets a new benchmark for professional touring rigs with a powerful 24 balanced XLR output configuration and four pristine, ultra-low noise microphone preamps. The PlayAUDIO2U interface maintains and improves upon iConnectivity's famous redundancy failover protection for touring musicians, production companies, and any live event where failure is not an option.
The PlayAUDIO2U introduces not only an expanded output count of 24 panel-reinforced XLR outs but also integrates versatile new concepts into iConnectivity's PlayAUDIO range. Four pristine, studio-quality inputs are perfect for injecting vocals, guitars, synths, and other instruments for live processing—all while enjoying iConnectivity's famous redundancy protection.
iConnectivity has always been known for robust MIDI integration. The PlayAUDIO2U is the first of iConnectivity's interfaces to feature built-in MIDI control via integrated control buttons on the front panel of the interface, allowing convenient, hands-on control of your performance.
The physical build of the PlayAUDIO2U might be its most revolutionary innovation, combining extensive inputs, outputs, and extreme MIDI connectivity into one rugged 2U rackable enclosure. All I/O ports are specially reinforced to withstand the rigors of daily touring—designed to be plugged directly into stage boxes and house sound systems every day. You can say goodbye to complex, fragile setups. Now building a reliable touring rig is as simple as installing a single PlayAUDIO2U in a rack.

Two KETRON SOLTON PROGRAMMER 24 synthesizers synchronized with each other and to a MINIMOOG
video upload by Davide Micheli
Click CC at the bottom of the player for subtitles, followed by the gear icon and and your language of choice if needed.
"ITALIAN
In questo video mostro come suonare contemporaneamente due sintetizzatori KETRON-SOLTON PROGRAMMER 24 sincronizzati tra loro e poi come far suonare la linea di basso di un PROGRAMMER 24 da un sintetizzatore MINIMOOG DODEL D
Il Solton Programmer 24, lanciato nel 1985, è riconosciuto come uno dei primissimi strumenti a introdurre il concetto di arranger automatico nel mercato delle tastiere, tanto da essere spesso definito 'l'apripista' dell'intero settore.
Questo strumento, prodotto dall'azienda italiana Ketron (con il marchio Solton), è considerato una pietra miliare nell'evoluzione delle tastiere arranger.
Impatto Culturale: è stato soprannominato 'Italian Disco Machine' per il suo ruolo nel plasmare il suono della musica Italo Disco.
Il Programmer 24 non è solo un pezzo di storia per gli appassionati, ma è anche al centro di iniziative come 'Arranger Legacy', un progetto web che mira a preservare la memoria di questi strumenti iconici e dei loro creatori.
Il Solton Programmer 24 è una workstation analogica italiana del 1985, famosa per il suo suono Italo Disco, che combina una sezione ritmica PCM a 8 bit (con uscite separate), bassi analogici, arrangiamenti automatici e sequencer, offrendo un suono vintage caldo e funzionale per produzione musicale. Include funzionalità avanzate per l'arrangiamento, sequencer polifonici e monofonici, MIDI, e interfaccia a nastro, rendendolo un pezzo da collezione apprezzato per il suo 'carattere anni '80'.

Live Sets from Space – ambient grooves for late night
video upload by Caught In Joy
"Long-form ambient and analog music with gentle, evolving grooves.
Designed for late nights, focus, and staying on in the background.
This liveset was recorded live in the studio as one continuous flow – no talking, no hard stops, just slow movement and steady pulse. Some moments drift, others gently lock into rhythm, always leaving space to breathe.
If this keeps you company while you work, rest, or unwind, feel free to let it run.
🎧 Extended versions available on Bandcamp (three longer livesets + YouTube version included):
https://caughtinjoy24.bandcamp.com/al...
Pricing:
$9 today
$15 this weekend
$25 after Monday
Everything here was mixed on my modded 70s analog console, with performances recorded to analog tape. Warm, dense, and inviting tones emerge – transients softened, harmonics glued, time moving a little slower.
If these sessions keep you company while you work, rest, or drift, this is how they continue to exist.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for supporting the work.

WISP - Granular Ambient Modular #17 // Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Mojave, Rhodes
video upload by David Falcon
"noun /wɪsp/
a delicate, thin, and sometimes twisting piece or line of something
Me apetecía algo relajante así que hice una pieza para mí mismo. La idea parte sampleando en el @instruo Arbhar: Rhodes, Piano, Vibráfono, Acordeón, Synth bass y Cuerdas. En mi experiencia, este módulo funciona mejor cuando se samplean frases para luego recorrerlas con su motor en lugar de notas individuales. Lleva a sorpresas y texturas interesantes. En esta jam solo utilicé el vibráfono y el rhodes.
La textura aguda, parecida a una voz, soy yo mismo cantando al micro del @QuBitElectronix Mojave y fijando el búfer. Fui editando el módulo hasta hacerlo funcionar en el tema. La línea de bajo nace en el @MoogSynthesizers Subarmonicon y lo envié al @ShakmatModular Dual Dagger para controlar la dinámica.
En el @WeAreElektron Analog Four añado un Kick, Hi-Hat y dos líneas simples en las frecuencias agudas. También improviso con el Nord con un sonido Rhodes en algunas partes a tiempo real (no he podido montar el vídeo que he hecho en el móvil de esta parte por algun motivo en Davinci Resolve)
Gracias por estar al otro lado!
(eng)
I was in the mood for a relaxing piece so I made one for myself! It started by sampling some new sounds into Arbhar. Rhodes, Piano, Vibraphone, Accordion, Synth bass and Strings. In my experience this module works best when sampling phrases to then sweep around with its engine instead of single notes. It leads to more happy accidents and interesting textures. In this jam only the vibraphone and some rhodes was used.
The high texture vocal-like sound is myself singing into Mojave and locking the buffer. I tweaked the module until I found something that worked. It was mixed with a bass line in the subharmonicon and sent to the Dual Dagger to control the dynamics of the song.
Lastly the Analog Four is adding Kick, Hi-Hat and two simple lines on top. I also improvise with a Nord Rhodes sound on top in some of the parts."

When modules grow limbs: ADDAC's Servo
video upload by Electrum Modular
"Checking out Servo, a unique new module from ADDAC Systems. It can turn knobs or trim pots on a modular, synth, pedal, mixer, or anything else that’s small and cylindrical and that lacks a cv input. Perfect for when your hands are busy doing other things, or for when you want slow LFO-style modulation, or for when you want super precise stepped adjustments.
More info and manual:
https://www.addacsystem.com/en/produc...
Latest Electrum Modular album:
https://smallchanges1.bandcamp.com/al..."
"At ADDAC we always admired the geniality of Neil Young’s Whizzer, way ahead of it’s time, a great example how great ingenuity and engineering can come together to make something great. Inspired by it’s motor controlled method we created a 4HP solution to control any knob that doesn’t have a CV input, while also possible to use for other gear as well (within certain distance constraints).
We use a Servo motor which is a specific type of motor that can be digitally controlled to go to a precise angle. This motor is controlled by a microcontroller that also receives an incoming CV voltage from 0 to +5v and lineary converts this voltage range to the 270 degree Servo motor range.
Using a spring wire and metal couplers the motor shaft is then attached to the target knob to be controlled which will turn as the Servo turns.
Two other knobs [MAXIMUM ANGLE] & [MINIMUM ANGLE] further allow to control the “sweet spot” of the target knob, setting a smaller Servo range.
Raising the [MIN ANGLE] knob above the [MAX ANGLE] knob inverts the Servo range.
We can't stress enough how important it is to read the whole User's Guide thoroughly for this one!
Note: All specifications and features are subject to change without previous notice."

GONE - Electronica #4 // Subharmonicon, Analog Four, Octatrack, Modular
video upload by David Falcon
"En este tema me voy por una rama oscura del electro. Me evoca sensaciones similares a la OST del juego The Binding of Isaac. Bastante oscuro, incluso siniestro por veces.
Muchas disonancias girando en torno al ancla que es la Elektron Analog Four mkii. Bombo y Bajo sientan unas bases potentes sobre lo que construir lo demás. La octatrack como mixer del máster es una gozada mientras que el modular y el subharmonicon son una fuente inagotable de inspiración.
En este caso decidí disolver el tema al final en lugar de llevarlo a una parte nueva. Más acorde a la temática creo. Como siempre, grabado en una toma, y solamente masterizado en Ableton.
Gracias a los que estáis siempre al otro lado.
Saludos!
(eng)
In this song I am going for a dark branch of electro. It evokes similar feelings in me to the OST of the game The Binding of Isaac. Quite dark, even sinister at times.
Many dissonances revolving around the anchor that is the Elektron Analog Four mkii. Kick and Bass lay powerful foundations on which I build the rest. The Octatrack as a master mixer is amazing while the modular and the subharmonicon are an infinite source of inspiration.
In this case I decided to dissolve the main parts of the song at the end instead of taking it to a new part. More in line with the theme I think.
Recorded in one take and mastered in Ableton.
Thank you for being on the other side."

Music of the wind: a modular Aeolian harp

"Combine a modular synth with a wind gauge and you get what we might call an electro-aerophone: an electronic instrument that can transform the wind into music … and, in the process, reconnect us to our environment.
On this second trip to the park, I simulate an Aeolian harp with the help of an eight-band, resonating filter bank, a comparator, and an addressable sequential switch.

BACK - Electronica #1 // OP1, Arbhar
video upload by David Falcon
"Saludos!
Siempre he querido probar un OP1 de Teenage Engineering pero los precios eran prohibitivos incluso en el mercado de segunda mano. Por suerte los precios ahora son más razonables. Hace años tuve un OPZ pero no me acabó de gustar el sonido ni la construcción del sinte, aunque si me pareció muy divertido.
Esta es la primera idea que he montado con el OP1, sencillo, yendo a lo esencial. Beat, Bajo, Arp y Pad. Añado en el modular una voz al final que toco con el Keystep (fuera de plano).
La idea es tener un equipo que me pueda llevar conmigo a todos lados en la que jugar con armonías e ideas de temas para luego construir encima.
Gracias por estar al otro lado!
David.

Greetings!
I've always wanted to try a Teenage Engineering OP1 but the prices were prohibitive even on the second hand market. Luckily the prices are more reasonable now. I had an OPZ years ago but I didn't really like the sound or the construction of the synth, although I did find it very fun.
This is the first idea that I have put together with OP1, simple, going to the essentials. Beat, Bass, Arp and Pad. I add a voice to the modular at the end that I play with the Keystep (out of plane).
The idea is to have a piece of gear that I can take with me everywhere to play with harmonies and theme ideas to then build on top of them.
Thanks for being on the other side!

GLEEMAN PENTAPHONIC + TASCAM 38 DEMO
video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics
"Here's another Gleeman Pentaphonic that was restored by the shop. We decided to kill two birds and put in another repair item, the Tascam 38 Reel to Reel 1/2" 8 Track Tape Machine. The audio output is recorded directly to tape. (Tascam 38 is for adam remnant, check out his music/Instagram @adamremnant)
There are only around 50 units ever manufactured by the Gleeman Brothers Al and Bob. Such a truly amazing sounding 5 voice polyphonic synthesizer. This five voice polyphonic synthesizer sounds very large in such a small package and is a hybrid of both analog/digital. Featuring a 300 note Polyphonic Sequencer, "Presetter" preset control switches, X+Y Joystick Pitch and Mod controller, and 100 programmable presets.
Visit my website or email for repairs and restorations for vintage synthesizers, drum machines, outboard gear, and tape machines."

"1950s Vintage Gibson Clavioline w/Tube Amplifier / Speaker / Case & Tripod Stand
The Gibson Clavioline is a single manual mini-key piano attachment with a tube preamp and amplifier, made from about 1934-1965. The sound made famous in Telstar and in The Beatles' 'Baby I'm A Rich Man', it uses a basic square wave.
The original design was by Constant Martin in France, and many companies licensed it. Selmer were perhaps the most famous maker in the UK, but Jorgensen in Germany was another, and Gibson in the US. The common design feature was a metal-cased keyboard, complete with internal tube tone-forming circuitry. The case attached by metal sliders to rails that could be screwed to the underside of your piano keyboard - or you could use the Clavioline as a stand-alone instrument on a metal stand. There is a Set of rocker switches underneath the keyboard for tone choice. The tube amplifier and speaker are in a case, which the Clavioline keyboard folds into for transport.
Although the tone is quite variable, the sound is distinctive, and instantly recognizable, due mainly to the simple envelope employed - and maybe also to its monophonic nature, which somehow gave melodies a different feel from exactly the same line played on an organ. It may be the glitches which provide its charm. Gibson licensed the Clavioline design from Constant Martin and made the American Clavioline version in 1954. Al Kooper plays one on BS&T's first album, Child is Father to the Man, and I think the specific tune is 'Meagan's Gypsy Eyes.' Also used on 'Sweet Pea' by Tommy Roe, 'Just a Mirage', Tommy James, and Del Shannon's 'Runaway'. A really cool instrument, it's the big brother to the Clavioline used on 'Telstar'.
Good condition, functional but has issues. Powers up, although the power light on the amplifier does not light. Keys play, but seem to just play one pitch, with a variable pitch underneath, and a quavering quality. The tone switches do change the sound, volume control works, and the octave switch works.
Includes the tube amplifier / speaker, which forms the case that holds the Clavioline, the Clavioline keyboard, 3-legged tripod stand, and power cable with split-off multi-pin cable that powers the Clavioline. Also has the service manual (which appears to be original). And includes the expression knee-lever, which is integral to the sound of the Clavioline.

"1950s Vintage Gibson Clavioline w/Tube Amplifier / Speaker / Case & Tripod StandThe Gibson Clavioline is a single manual mini-key piano attachment with a tube preamp and amplifier, made from about 1934-1965. The sound made famous in Telstar and in The Beatles' 'Baby I'm A Rich Man', it uses a basic square wave.
The original design was by Constant Martin in France, and many companies licensed it. Selmer were perhaps the most famous maker in the UK, but Jorgensen in Germany was another, and Gibson in the US. The common design feature was a metal-cased keyboard, complete with internal tube tone-forming circuitry. The case attached by metal sliders to rails that could be screwed to the underside of your piano keyboard - or you could use the Clavioline as a stand-alone instrument on a metal stand. There is a Set of rocker switches underneath the keyboard for tone choice. The tube amplifier and speaker are in a case, which the Clavioline keyboard folds into for transport.
