NAMM 2008 - Big City Music - Analogue Systems modular noise

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Here are some noises being generated from a monster Analogue Systems system 8500 with the new rs430 Distortion module. You can also see the new rs600 Performance Wheels modules which are more than just beautiful."

Update via REwire in the comments:
"Oh wait, those are my arms!

In short, the RS-430 Distortion Module has a distortion level that's cv'able as well as the mix ratio. The variations in the video are various CV sources like LFO, S&H and OSC's to the CV inputs. That makes all kinds of distortion sequencing possible, something you can't do with outboard pedals. Also, nothing else in Euro does this; previous distortions like Doepfer's are really Wave Multipliers you have to feed a Sine or Triangle. This takes any waveform and distorts cleanly. I've tried running my modular through guitar distortions and single cycle waveforms just turn to squares and disappear.

I think this video gives you an idea what your tone from a single OSC sounds like and what CV does to it. Make music or noise of that."

"Here is the new RozzBox 5-voice synthesizer from Kilian Leonhardt at LL Electronics in Germany. It is truly unique with its tube driven filter (which sounds amazing) and its extremely compact size. These will be available by around mid-April at Big City Music."
