"A whole bunch of hardware synthesizers!

The sequences you hear are from my modular system which includes VCZIII oscillator, filter from Feedback Modules, Behringer System 100m and 2500 modules. Also some Roland System 500 gear. The sequences are mainly from the Korg SQ64 - but I've also used Behringer 960 to do some things, as well as getting the SQ64 to trigger the 182 sequencer - see if you can spot it :)

Vocoder bit was done on the Roland E4. Other strings and sounds were from Streichfett, Pro 800 and Novation Peak. Effects are MXR Flanger or in the Modular system: Strymon Magneto, Intellijel Sealegs, Feedback Modules 106 Chorus."

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."

Analogue Solutions Introduces the TC5000 - ARP 2500 Inspired Synthesizer

video upload by sonicstate

"Tom's stand is hard to miss, always something massive and/or impressive to catch your attention ;-]

This year it's the turn of the TC5000, a synthesizer drawing inspiration from the ARP2500 with a patch matrix system along the lines of those he has developed since the Vostok. The TC5000 has a unique mix of circuits - compiled from years of development in products like the Fusebox and Colossus - and its user interface, for ease of patching across upper and lower matrices.

With a host of modules, including oscillators, filters, sequencers, and dual spring reverbs, Tom plans to provide a comprehensive package, with potential expansions through additional "wings" or systems.

Price is expected to be in the £22K range, available towards the end of the year"




This one is in via Soviet Space Child.

via Analogue Solutions:

"ANALOGUE PATCH PIN MATRIX SYNTH

This product is so new, we haven’t even finished this web page!

The selection of modules that will be configured in the final system will differ from the pre-production unit features in the current photographs.

WE ARE TAKING PRE-ORDERS NOW (DEPOSIT REQUIRED).
ETA TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR.

This is not an ARP2500 clone! TC5000 ustilises Analogue Solutions’ own circuits. Some are adapted from our other stunning synthesizers, like Leipzig, Telemark and Fusebox. Plus some new designs especially for this synthesizer.

TC5000 features two full width patch pin matrix panels that provide the same kind of UI experience that made the ARP2500 so incredible.

Using TC5000 for sounds design will give you a similar experience to the ARP. User interface is a very important aspect of sound design. It really isn’t all about the filter. How you interact with a synth is equally important. Different UI and working approaches means you will come up with patches you might otherwise not have come across using say, patch leads."

This video explores the AM1028 Sequential Volts from Amsynths to expand the Behringer 1027 Sequencer in the 2500 series.

Here are excerpts from Amsynths description of this module:

This 8HP module expands the capability of the Behringer 1027 sequencer by adding an additional column of variable control voltages.

The eight steps of the 1027 are mirrored in the 1028 with three precision control voltage outputs; one at 2V for controlling VCO's and two at 10V for controlling filters, amplifiers and VC env gens.

AM1028 Sequential Volts - Expand your Behringer 1027 Sequencer

video upload by AMSynths

"AMSynths expands the B1027 sequencer with an additional column of eight steps of control voltage. The included 12-way ribbon cable connects the two modules internally. CV outputs of 2V and 10V ranges are available. The 2V output is ideal for VCO's and can be patched via a quantizer (used in the video). The 1028 was envisaged by ARP in 1970 but never manufactured until now."

"This 8HP module expands the capability of the Behringer 1027 sequencer by adding an additional column of variable control voltages. The module connects to the B1027 with an included 12 way ribbon cable.

The eight steps of the 1027 are mirrored in the 1028 with three precision control voltage outputs; one at 2V for controlling VCO's and two at 10V for controlling filters, amplifiers and VC env gens.

In 1970 ARP planned to make a slave module for the 2500 1027 sequencer but it never made it into production or prototype stage.

The AMSynths AM1028 fills in a piece of history by recreating the Slave Module, which we call Sequential Volts. It is an easy to understand and use module; just plug it into the Behringer 1027 module with the included 12-way cable and enjoy another column of step CV's!

The AM1028 can be placed next to the Behringer 1027 or close to the module it is controlling, reducing patch cable lengths. Multiple AM1028 modules can be connected to one long ribbon cable, thanks to the CMOS buffering chips and diode protection in the module. or the AMSEQBUS pcb can be used to connect mutiple modules.
High quality Alpha potentiometers and Rogan knobs have been used to ensure control voltages can be easily set and adjusted. The 2V output is designed to drive VCO's and increases the resolution of the control pots."

G-Storm Electro Introduces Spring Tank Reverb Driver Version 2

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2023

Introducing my Spring Tank Reverb Driver version 2. Same great sound and features as before. But now in 4HP with added Feedback knob. The Drive setting is now a trimmer on the PCB Set-and-forget. In today's video I will be auditioning the module with a few different spring tanks and various patch scenarios. Like pairing the reverb with Synthrotek DLY. While my driver module is optimized for Medium length tanks, it can easily be modded to handle long and short size tanks well. Which one is your favorite? Special thanks to my friend Seth, for contributing Behringer System 2500 sounds and footage for this episode!

On the 2500 patches, the dry signal was mult-ed such that the wet/dry mix was handled by a mixer off camera. Audio has been recorded direct, no other mastering or posts effects.

"Spring Tank Reverb is an 4HP wide Eurorack driver module for use with a variety of spring tanks. Features a CV control of the wet/dry mix. NEW in version 2: 4HP, Added Feedback pot, Drive is now a set-and-forget trimmer on the PCB.

FEATURES

Pots: Tone, Feedback, CV of wet/dry amount, Initial Wet/Dry amount. Drive trimmer for accommodating various spring tanks. Signal strength LED indicator. RCA jacks on the back of the module for mounting tank internally in the case. Included: 10-to-16 pin ribbon cable. Not included: Reverb tank and RCA cables (sold separately)

CHOOSING A TANK

GROUNDING CONNECTORS (5TH character in tank model #) Type A or C is best. SIZE & NUMBER OF SPRINGS | Short length and Medium Length is best. Long length (approx. 16”) may need resistor R8 decreased to 100-ohms for a boost in power. I am happy to switch the resistor for you based on your needs, just let me know before I ship your order out. 2 or 3 number of springs are known to work well. INPUT IMPEDANCE | (2ND character in tank model #) | any except “F” (1475 ohms, has not been tested). OUTPUT IMPEDANCE | (3RD character in tank model #) |“B” known to work best, all others untested. TANKS THAT WERE TESTED AND KNOWN TO WORK WELL | Vintage Folded Line, Medium size, 3-spring, as those used in a Roland Space Echo | Accutronics BAB3C1B Medium size, as taken from a Fender Sidekick Amp | Accutronics 4AB3C1B Long size 16”, 2-spring (R8 to be changed to 100-ohms for best performance). MOST RECOMMENDED | Ruby Tubes 2EB2C1B short size 9”, 2-spring, has plenty of drip and feedback with a size to fit many different case scenarios.

SPECs

Module Depth: 50mm | Current Demand: +12V 39mA, -12V 34mA, 5V not used

Note: due to RCA jack placement and chunkiness of some RCA plugs, it may not be feasible to mount this module on the bottom row of your system rack. Please refer photos. A workaround that might work is to try a cable with 90-degree RCA plug ends."

Korg Mono/Poly from 1981

video upload by Bata

"This is a quick demo of some of the sounds of the Korg Mono/Poly. There are some rather extreme sounds in this video made possible by a trick to get the LFO to speed up considerably. If you set LFO 1's waveform between 2 waves very carefully you can get a sped up LFO that can be useful for harsh and metallic sounds. I don't know if this works on the Behringer version. Effects used were UAD reverbs and Brainworx bx_delay 2500.

If you want to get an idea of what it's like to use a Mono/Poly you can get Full Bucket's Mono/Fury for free. Its pretty good but won't be able to do some of the sounds in this video.

The Melodicer is really the star of the show in this video, admittedly it is an expensive module but if you are patient they do come up on the used market for good prices, that's how I bought mine.

And the Matriarch? Even though it's Moog and it sells for a lot of money it is IMHO the Bargain of the Century: Four wonderful sounding VCO's, two beautiful sounding analogue low pass transistor ladder filters in stereo configuration, two gorgeous sounding analogue bucket brigade delays in stereo configuration, and more modular patch points than you can shake a stick at.
