Analogue Systems rs290 Crushes Your Bits Too

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Man. There's not much this module doesn't do. Besides an incredible sounding high-quality stereo digital delay with built LFO and a hard to beat voltage controlled sampler mode, the rs290 can crush your sounds too. This great little trick doesn't even require the unit to be engaged. Just select sample size, reduce, and abuse.

Our sound source is the Elektron SFX-60 Mk II MonoMachine."

Curiousity 1

Anyone know what synth that is?

Alesis ION per DustySchematics in the comments.

And maybe not. Update via EmptySet int he comments: "I thought at first that was an Ion too… it's color, the red knob on the right, jacks look similar.

However, I have an Ion and just looked at it and the position of all the outputs and inputs looks all wrong in the photo. For example, the MIDI ports on my Ion would appear where the CURIOSITY label is."

Update: I'm pretty sure it's a Micron. I actually have one and took a look. The angle in the images makes it look a bit shorter than it actually is.

"There is one major change to the architecture, as well. Previously, we had only one modulation target per effect. Essentially, you could only use the modulation sequencer of each effect for one parameter. Now, if you note, there is a small slider under each knob, where you can select positive or negative modulation against the current value. This creates a lot more possibilities, we think. The few of you that own Ronin will be familiar with this way of doing things. We also used this method for the LFO in Discord 2."

Pixel Studio

"I needed better icons for the Audio/MIDI tool in OS X (the included ones are too generic) so I made pixel versions of my equipment. Not everything is to scale and there are a few omissions but I'm happy with the end result."

"I figured some other readers of matrixsynth would be interested or would like to use them."

x0xb0x vs TR-606

"A quick jam with the x0xb0x (a full kit form reproduction of the Roland TB-303) along with its cousin the Roland TR-606. Visit http://www.myspace.com/2cvacid to hear more of them in action."

Roland TR-606

"A quick demo of my Roland TR-606. There's some noise from my usb soundcard due to the camera on the hub, sorry about that."

TB-x0x

via phono1337 on the forum (more pics):

"Here's what i've been secretly brewing up over the past month

Right here's the details in case any of you would be x0xers want to do one of these,

The panel overlays were put together by myself and Jeff at custom synth, if you want one, just visit www.customsynth.co.uk drop Jeff an email and ask him for "Phono's x0xb0x overlay". I'm more than happy if people want to get these printed up (as im sure Jeff is haha). The cost is £25 per panel overlay and that includes a rear panel overlay also.

The Grey switchcaps came from Jerwin and cost $27.50 including shipping for 50 (i grabbed a few extras, you only really need 23 per x0x) http://www.ableideas.com/x0xb0x/

The Knobs all came from http://www.conrad-int.com and cost me 581 swedish kronor for two sets including shipping (thats approx $72 at time of writing this)

notes: the selector knobs i had to bore out a little since they didnt fit the greyhill encoders at all (i also had to trim a few mm off the top of the greyhills)
I also had to grind some off the tempo knobs, they are the same knobs as the volume but since the tempo encoder has a shorter shaft these knobs wouldnt attach. I may actually eventually grind the volume ones down and trim the volume shaft to make it more uniform.

Here's the part numbers for the knobs

bank/mode select (Aluminium T-handle button) Product ID 183770-62
cutoff/res etc (High-quality metal knob) Product ID 184077-I5
tempo/volume (High-quality metal knob) Product ID 184091-I5"
