DIGISOUND 80 analog modular synthesizer

YouTube via scienceforce

"This modular is a Digisound 80 with 8 voices polyphonic keyboard... you can play it as mono or in polyphonic mode. The Digisound 80 circuits are based on Curtis IC (CEM). All the knobs are the same of the EMS VCS3 (mirror cap release) very nice shape!"

"this is same patch as the 'non-sequencer loop rhythm' but after 5 minutes of evolving/tweaking -- then got heavy with the malekko analog delay. apologies to King Tubby."

buchla 200e non-sequencer loop rhythm

"there is no sequencer in play here. I did add a little echo with a Malleko analog delay. After my drummer friend Jonas of Black Betty was playing with the knobs, I did some random twiddling and ended up with this neat sort of 'trod along' reggae rimshot riddim. one waveform is the source."

Monsterbase has landed

read more about it on The Stretta Procedure.
excerpt:
"I've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the monster base since it was announced at the Winter NAMM show as I've outgrown my frame and desperately required some room to expand. Another monster case is out of the question - I don't have the space. The monster base is the perfect solution - zero footprint - it occupies the same space my monster case presently occupies.

Overall, I'm delighted. And relieved. More space. More modules. More modular. This is a good thing."

Drumfire2000 Samples

You can find the samples via Floppy on this electro-music.com thread.

"i just bought a drumfire df 2000 and after few minutes playing with it i think its also in the top 5 of the best drummachines. first of all it offers insane tuning ranges, almost a bit to sensible this pot makes it hard to tune the right pitch. does anybody know what the 2 different decays really do? lin / expo curves maybe? then i tried to remotely trigger the manual / preset socket with a 606´s tom trigger but the light only lit very dim, no function... i imagine this very cool, to change remotely between 2 slightly different settings. does anybody have the manual, schematics or any info about this mysterious devices?"

SONIFR

via sonifr on this electro-music.com thread.

"Hello everyone,
sonifr here- just wanted to put it up that my new album can be heard over at:

http://www.teamabunai.org/sonifr

this latest features the Nord Modular (about 90% of the album i would say) on every track. i also used a microKorg and a KP3 for effects. all songs were performed live and recorded onto 4 tracks (2 clean, 2 for effects) on a Pro Tools rig by my friend Tim at the Ira facility in Kalamazoo, MI.

as a service to this dedicated community, anyone who is interested in playing with my patches can contact me through that website. i will be glad to mail you song sets. most of them use all 4 slots, one slot being a simple audio in patch for the microKorg.

thanks and enjoy!

Doepfer A100 Analog Modular System Synth Wood DIY Cabinet

YouTube via PlastikOD
"A short clip made with photos and soundsamples of my DOEPFER A-100 Modular System.

I sold the Doepfer a few years ago.

The Cabinet was Do-It-Yourself made to get them a more vintage look (which i prefer more than the design of today's) and very sturdy.
The Keyboard on the photos was a simple and cheap midi-masterkeyboard. The case of the keyboard was also DIY to get a close look of the cabinet and the keyboard.

I think the Doepfer A-100 is a bit overrated.
The Doepfer A-100 is good for noise and atonal stuff but it can't afford the full range and powerfull sound of the "old" modular systems.

The soundsample is an old and cheesy cassette recording so you can hear a lot of noise.

The modules:
A-110 VCO (x3)
A-114 Dual Ringmod.
A-118 Noise/Random
A-119 Ext.Input/Envellope Follower
A-120 VCF 24dB LowPass(Moog Filter)
A-121 VCF 12dB MultiFilter
A-124 VCF Wasp MultiFilter
A-130 VCA Linear
A-131 VCA Exponential
A-138 Mixer Linear
A-138 Mixer Exponential
A-140 ADSR (x2)
A-145 LFO (x2)
A-148 Dual Sample & Hold
A-170 Dual Slew Limiter
A-180 Multiples
A-185 Bus-Access
A-190 MIDI CV/SYNC Interface
