HOW TO FIX Sticky Rubberised Paint issues on a synthesizer

video upload by ranzee

I wonder if these wipes would work.

"Rubberised paint coated many synthesizer knobs, sliders and other components and were widely used in the early parts of 2010 - 2020.

A lot of these parts are degrading and a sticky surface emerges as the chemicals break down.

This video shows a temporary, quick and inexpensive solution to get you going by using talcum powder (baby powder)."

"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."

"This is an excerpt from Synth Geekery ep 291. If you missed it, we showed the latest module from Intellijel - the Multigrain!!

The Intellijel Multigrain is a 20HP stereo morphing granular sampler designed for Eurorack systems. It offers eight simultaneous sound slots, each with dual scene morphing and extensive modulation capabilities. With high-fidelity audio processing, onboard resampling, and a unique Blur reverb effect, Multigrain provides a versatile platform for intricate granular synthesis. Users can load samples via microSD or record directly into the module, enabling dynamic and expressive sound manipulation.

Mailbag 10 - Feedback Modules VCZIII Oscillator

video upload by ranzee

"We are checking out the Feedback Modules VCZIII VCO Oscillator - both type A and B. The VCZIIIA and VCZIIIB are modelled after the EMS VCS3 synthesizer and have similar design and functionality as the original.

The mailbag series are videos where I receive parcels and open them for the first time. Plug the item in and test it out, showing you my first impressions of the items. These generally aren't reviews, nor are they a polished product demonstration. I'm more after the raw end user approach here."

NiftyCase - Firmware Update

video upload by ranzee

"Step-by-step procedure in updating the Cre8Audio NiftyCase to the new USB firmware. Cre8Audio have developed a new boot loader that uses a different USB protocol (HID instead of libUSB). This new boot loader is used on our later products (Mr Phil Ter, and NiftyKEYZ) without any reported problems, and without the need for drivers on any OS. It will also be used for future NiftyCASE, Chipz and Cellz batches.

I found this update also fixed my CV Pitch 1v/Oct issue."

Gates by Ranzee

video upload by ranzee

"A quick look over the latest album Gates. There's an excerpt from each of the 16 tracks. You can buy a copy via BandCamp here:

https://sinnersmusicuk.bandcamp.com/a...

Or alternatively add it to your favourites on your streaming provider."

"An album with a theme about gates - a double meaning. For those who are knowledgeable in synthesisers, especially the modular type, will be aware of gates. Gates are a control voltage (a pulse of electricity) which is used in synthesiser things - like: clocks, envelopes, sequencers etc. Gates are voltage high or low (a square wave) – hence having an open or closed state. Working with this each track has a themed gate, such as a farm gate or a boom gate. Some gates exist in our daily lives, others are a fantasy. The noon of a gate either stops things from getting in/out or protects the things within. It has a stop/go feature."
