Synthesizer-Magazin #4

Issue 4 is out for those of you lucky enough to get it. I'm crossing my fingers that one day Moogulator will eventually make the old issues available online. I can't read German yet, but I can look at pictures. :)

Navs' Modular Lab - Filter Fight 4th Installment

"On test is Doepfer's A-106-5 SEM Type Filter. A small, cheap and stable multimode filter that does what it says on the tin without fuss."

"The thing looks great, sounds amazing and is great fun. It's also much smaller than I thought it would be. Also, the wheels feel just fine, no problem with having them up on the panel. In fact, I sort of just reached for them without thinking about it and only remembered that they weren't to the left of the keyboard about 15 minutes later.

Highly recommended."

"Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the Roland SH-3A. The synthesizer was recorded direct, without effect or equalization. This is the first of two parts."

Weighs 3+ lbs. Has controls for pitch bend & modulation. LFO speed. VCO section has glissando,pitch,feet,wave & pwm speed. VCF section has frequency cut off,resonance & EQ depth. VCA section has EQ depth control. EG section has attack time,decay time,sustain level & release time. Has power volume dial. Runs on adapter or battery power. Adapter input has a short & needs to be jiggled but works fine. Has a 1/4" line out & 1/4" phone output. The 1/4" line out has a short but the 1/4" phone output works perfectly & will run an amplifier."
