Dave Smith Instruments "TETRA" Synthesizer Review Pt. 1

YouTube via djthomaswhite
"Here is my two part review of the new Tetra Synthesizer by Dave Smith Instruments. This is intended as an overview of the sounds and features of the synthesizer, with a small narrative about the over complex expectations of today's synthesizer enthusiasts that sometimes push the fringe of synthesizer elitists. Treat it like an editorial, take it or leave it. I love this powerful little synthesizer and have had more time to play with it since making this video footage last week. I hope you enjoy the sounds, and at $800 for a 4 voice true analog synth, you can't go wrong. Want more knobs? Use the editor and one of your multiple MIDI controllers.

Thanks for stopping by! Check out www.davesmithinstruments.com for more information on the Tetra and the other Dave Smith instruments."

PLL guitar tests - round one

PLL guitar tests - round one from Pete Shambler on Vimeo.

"Someone on the boards requested a demo of a guitar running through a Doepfer A-196 PLL. With zero prep and very few chops, this is what it sounds like.

Patch:
Guitar --> A-119 External In
A-119 Audio Out --> A-196 PLL Phase Comp. Signal Input
A-196 VCO Out --> A-132-3 VCA Signal Input
A119 Envelope Out --> A-132-3 CV In
A-132-3 Signal Out --> computer

PLL guitar tests - round two from Pete Shambler on Vimeo.

"Here are a few passes, each without and then with fuzz (a BYOC Mighty Mouse pedal). The extra harmonics from the pedal really animates the PLL!"

Electronotes Analog Modular synthesizer

via this auction
"This is loaded with 13 modules and includes a keyboard controller. Similar in design to the Aries, Serge, Buchla and Moog synths of the 60s and 70s. Electronotes is well known as one of the main source of information on analog synth and circuit design since 1972. Schematics and design notes are still available from http://electronotes.netfirms.com/

This synth includes 1 DC coupled mixer, 1 VCF, 2 envelope generators, 1 VCA, 1 sample hold, 3 VCOs, 1 keyboard interface, 1 noise/random voltage, 1 white noise, 1 power supply. The power supply is heavy duty with +15, -15, +5 volts, and ground. It has patch points for powering external modules as well. The oscillators and keyboard work on 1volt per octave so this is compatible with many different types of modules and brands."

wtpa? 8-bit sampler DIY

YouTube via kidtronic
"Tom Bugs told me about Todd's kit and I just made one with a soldering iron. Here's a look at how I decided to case mine and a small peek at what yoiu can do with it. No overdubs or computer software used. Last I heard there are only a few of the first 200 kits left, details in the end credits. Sampler the size of a paperback, and it does a lot. Thanks to George for the help drilling and cabling the case!"
