BlaknBlu Oscar Tria Stereo VCO Review

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"The triple featured Oscar Tria offers regular waveforms, swarming oscillations and polyphonic chord modes within a Eurorack, CV-controlled context. The stereo format offers some lovely detuning and there's some superb morphing between the waveforms. It's built on a digital platform but has a very analogue sound and workflow. Let's get into it."

Index:
Sound demo - 0:00
Intro - 4:57
Overview - 9:34
Green Mode - VCO - 12:29
Yellow Mode - Swarm - 24:32
Orange Mode - Chord - 33:45
FM - 42:16
Noodling - 46:27
Running it in Mono - 51:37
Conclusions - 56:42

"Oscar Tria packs a lot of VCO into 10HP. There are three main modes described below.

Green Mode:
A ‘traditional’ stereo oscillator. In Green Mode you get the usual three waveforms – saw, triangle and square (with variable pulse width, of course) but you can continuously vary the waveform between the three. For instance, by turning the waveform knob to be just to the saw side of triangle, you get a sound very much like the Minimoog’s ‘shark tooth’.
Green mode also gives you a square wave sub oscillator – one octave below the main oscillators – and a sub sub, two octaves below.
Oscar Tria is stereo, of course, so you can detune one oscillator for a rich stereo image – or sum the two outputs to mono and you have two oscillators with two subs, for a BIG sound.
Green mode also features through zero FM, and hard sync.

Yellow Mode:
Super-saw! And super-square! And super-triangle! With a sub (of course). Yellow mode allows you to control the number of oscillators making up the super-whatever, from one (not really super) to 24! Again, being stereo you get up to 12 oscillators in one channel and 12 in the other. Add the sub for a HUGE sound.

Orange Mode:
This is a chord engine, with 20 selectable chords. There are controls to select which chord you want and how many notes are played (over two octaves). CV control allows you to set pitch and chord independently, so you can set up a polyphonic sequence, for instance. Again, the output is stereo with detune control of one output."

via this Reverb listing

"Sakata DPM-48 Vintage Drum machine

Made in Japan
Released 1984
220v

with MIDI kit updrade installed.

Rare musical instrument developed by Sakata, later distributed by Hammond. This digital drum machine uses same technology as Linndrum with samples on eproms. The MIDI kit (developed by FPB Synth Germany) is freshly installed for the sale.

Unfortunately, I lost the RAM card a while ago, so the pattern memories and internal sequencer are not usable… This said the MIDI kit upgrade allows you to control the drum machine from any device including modern sequencers!

So, you have access to the 22 samples via MIDI + you can trig manually at the same time.

Sounds are internally spread over a stereo field (stereo output), you also have independent mono outputs and a phones out . Of course you have the volume fader for each voice (8 sliders) and a general volume knob. So, a nice flexibility for studio environment.

Great sounding drum machine, punchy and pretty unique samples — the cymbals are really interesting. You know, 8-bit unsigned PCM sounds but realistic for the time… it delivers a great vintage flavour. As eprom based, you can totally custom your instrument. The sounds here are stock. One of the eprom has been cloned by FPB too."

How to Set-up and Use Motion Recorder on Roto-Control MIDI Controller with Elektron Syntakt

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

"Roto-Control is a motorized MIDI controller for software and hardware. Roto-Control can extend the creative capabilities of synths, drum machines and any compatible MIDI hardware or software in MIDI Mode. In this video we show you how to set-up and pair Roto-Control (in MIDI Mode) with an Elektron Syntakt, and how to use the Motion Recorder as a performance enhancing tool. We show how easy it is for Roto-Control to MIDI learn and map 8 mutes and 8 different parameters from the Syntakt to Roto-Control's buttons and knobs. This method can be applied when using Roto-Control with other Elektron devices.

🎛️ Here are key steps to setting up both devices:
1. Connect Roto-Control MIDI Out to Syntakt MIDI In, and Roto-Control MIDI In to Syntakt MIDI Out, via 2 different MIDI cables.
2. Choose MIDI Mode on the Roto-Control.
3. Check Syntakt settings page and sub menus:
• Settings - MIDI Config - Port Config - Encoder Dest INT + EXT
• Settings - MIDI Config - Port Config - Receive CC/NRPN
• Settings - MIDI Config - Sync - Clock Send and Transport Send
4. Map Syntakt parameters to Roto-Control buttons and knobs:
• Press LEARN on the Roto-Control and select the knob or button want to assign. The LEARN button will flash and the MENU window will display what knob or button you have selected.
• On the Syntakt move or press the button you want to control. Roto-Control's display will immediately display the MIDI channel and MIDI CC.
• Press LEARN to confirm and exit.
The default labels on Roto-Control will display the MIDI channel and CC value as "CH:xx/CC:xx". Further customization of controls can be done with the Roto-Setup App - change labels and colors that reflect parameters on the Syntakt.

🖥️ Download the Roto-Control Syntakt MIDI Setup used in this video here, import it and try it with your Roto-Control: https://tinyurl.com/483cbnbx

Motion Recorder:
Check the Motion Recorder settings on the Roto-Control. We want to synchronize the Motion Recorder and playback from the Syntakt as the the master clock. In MIDI Mode, press FUNC and select MIDI EXT CLK for external clock. Also select Motion Recorder length on the same page, in this video we are using 64 steps. Press FUNC to confirm and exit.

⚡️HOT TIP: On the Roto-Control or the Roto-Setup App change the minimum and maximum values via the MIN VALUE and MAX VALUE for the button mutes. MIN Value = 0 and MAX Value = 1, this will ensure fast bidirectional muting between the Roto-Control and the Syntakt.

Roto-Control is a motorized MIDI controller for software and hardware. Roto-Control brings Melbourne Instruments' motorized technology to a MIDI controller in a powerful, portable, affordable tool for studio and live applications.

Unlike anything seen before, rethink software and hardware interactions via fully assignable motorized touch-sensitive knobs, user definable haptics for detailed control, high-res screens providing easy-to-read labels for every control, and internal memory with storage for thousands of assignments. Powerful, compact, and portable, Roto-Control features three main modes of operation: MIX, PLUGIN and MIDI with Motion Recorder."

Key Features:

- 7 Wavefolder Stages – Provides deep and rich harmonic transformation of the signal

- Folding Control – Precise depth control over the folding effect

- Stage Count Adjustment – Smoothly controls the number of active stages from 3 to 7, with the ability to highlight the fundamental against added harmonics. The SHP parameter can be modified both manually and via CV

- Signal Symmetry – Adjusts the symmetry balance of sound waves, enabling unique textural possibilities. The SYM input can also serve as an additional input for mixing two signals and processing them together with wave folding

- Dual Control – All parameters are adjustable both with knobs and CV, allowing flexible integration into your system

The module is ideal for creating rich, textured sounds, adding multilayered harmonic complexity.

INGA was created as the sister module to AGNI - use them together for total exterminatus!"

Testing the Synthesis Technology E430 Morphing VCF Beta Version

video upload by boxoftextures

"Testing a beta version of the new Synthesis Technology E430 Morphing VCF. It's in a sense the filter from the Oberheim SEM except with added filter morphing controls not in the original. The thing sounds amazing. It's a morphing VCF in that it goes from low pass to bandpass to high pass at the turn of a knob (or via voltage control), or at the press of a button the knob changes to low pass to notch to high pass. That's a ton of flexibility, and you can use it to make all kinds of sounds. It also has voltage controllable resonance as well. I've basically rearranged my smaller modular keyboard case to give the E430 a permanent home there and moved my "regular" filter into an empty spot in the big case.

"From Waldorf:

'For some decades now, analog filters have had a deep impact on contemporary music. Since its very beginnings, Waldorf has been renowned for the quality of their excellent sounding analog filters.

Whether these were integrated in stand alone units, such as the 4-Pole, X-Pole or the AFB16, which enabled the world’s first analog plug-Ins, or were found inside our synthesizers such as the Wave, the Q+ or the Pulse – Waldorf filters have influenced the world’s sound for over two decades.

As a logical consequence, our exclusive analog filter technology is now available in this novel square box (unexpectedly matching the Rocket synthesizer). 2-Pole is giving the guitar player, the DJ, or the keyboard player access to the heart of the Waldorf sound – with an inspiring user interface with a one knob/one function philosophy. Spice up your live performances with dramatic filter sweeps that really cut through. Funk up your guitar licks by hooking a pedal controller to 2-Poles’ cutoff CV In or using the integrated envelope follower. Animate your pad sounds using 2-Pole’s LFO. But beware – no matter what you do with this tiny black box, make sure you set the levels to your amplifiers and speakers correctly, as 2-Pole is yet another beast from Waldorf – with love!'"

"Dynacord ADD-one + ADD-drive, Dynacord’s dynamic sampling duo! This combo makes for an incredibly powerful hardware synth/sampler with unparalleled capabilities for its time.


NOTE: Other recent listings only include the ADD-one, but if you are reading this you probably know that the increasing hard to find ADD-drive unit is essential if you want to be able to sample your own sounds.

So if you have been looking for a complete ADD-one/ADD-drive don’t sleep on this rare opportunity!

These two specific units were purchased in 2016 from Wavemeister AUT (receipt available on request). Both units are in incredible cosmetic condition for their age and are working as they should. Used in a smoke free, climate controlled studio and never gigged. The build quality on both units is top notch and all knobs and buttons feel great. ADD-one’s display is original, but it is bright and easy to read (see pics), although not from all angles, but this was never the case even when new. Serviced by Audio Rehab, CA (Greg Granieri) in 2019 (receipt available on request). All contacts, pots, jacks and switches were cleaned. And all 23 button contacts have recently been re-cleaned and are working as they should.

There is a very slight whine sound when powered up which can be heard at the outputs. I am no expert, but it’s possible this could be resolved by replacing the capacitors in the power supply. It has never bothered me enough to address so I will let the next owner decide if they feel this is necessary.

The ADD-one is running firmware v2.22 and passes all diagnostic tests and sounds fantastic (see video link below).

There are a few, very minor blemishes and scuffs on both units, with one small dent on the top panel of the ADD-one (see pic), and some erosion on the top edge of the left rack ear of the ADD-drive (see pic). However the front panels are mostly pristine, with only one tiny, tiny mark on the ADD-one visible (see pic), and some wear to “Dynacord” text on ADD-drive (see pic). Very, light rack rash on both units (I hit Reverb’s image limit but additional pics available on request).

The primary advantage is the ability to automate these sounds later, but even on their own, they already deliver exceptional quality, making them highly versatile and impressive standalone tools.

Each pedal's AUTO Section has two on-board signal analysis engines, engineered to transfer musical nuances onto the effects parameters. The DYNAMICS tracker is fine-tuned to capture all details of playing dynamics, and animate parameters based on the player's picking style as well as each instrument's loudness and decay. The PITCH tracker detects note choices, and changes in the instrument's tone. These automations can be linked to any of the four effect knobs, setting the parameters in motion.

The entire automation section is engaged with the AUTO footswitch. This allows for the automations to be prepared with the patch cables and then toggled ON or OFF as needed. The small PARAMETER AUTOMATION knobs directly below each of the main EFFECT PARAMETER knobs determine the amount of automation and direction for each parameter individually. The automation functions can be fine-tuned using calibration and several effect engagement modes.

The Design of the AUTO Series pedals draws inspiration from the world of modular synthesis. The series' unique patchbay interface allows to create a straightforward and robust connection between the two on-board trackers and any of the effects parameters using 3.5mm (1 ⁄ 8 inch) jack patch cables.
A batch of six patch cables are included with each pedal.

The AUTO Series PITCH and DYNAMICS trackers are extremely precise and versatile, flawlessly tailored for all styles of guitar playing, yet not limited to string instruments. All pedals feature an input level switch that lets you choose between instrument level (INST), line level (LINE), and Eurorack synthesizer level (EU) input.

While Gamechanger are not hiding their intention of releasing a wide array of popular effects types under the “Automation” banner, the AUTO Series is debuting with three classic time-based digital stereo effects:
