Playing Around with ProLoop by Trapcode

Playing Around with ProLoop by Trapcode from Calvin Cardioid on Vimeo.

Review, pics, and audio on cl516 here.

"So this thing plays up to 6 loops at a time. Each loop can be pitchshifted up or down, and the user can select whether the pitchshift is locked / quantized to tones or not. I prefer smooth pitchshift, kinda like a digital tape varispeed. Each loop has forward or reverse, but it can also freeze in whatever position you're holding down on the screen. All of this is already enough for me, but they add a bonus: there's FM between the loops! Loop 1 can modulate 2 can modulate 3, etc. etc. Plus the user gets to choose between FM, PM or Ring modulation. Sweet."

"Clip from tape. Messing around with Korg MS20, Grendel Drone Machine and some outboard effects.

Can be used by navigators to plot courses through space-time, turning what once seemed like impossible intergalactic voyages into routine trips.

OBERHEIM OB-Mx 2 Voice Expansion Card

via this auction

Close up shot of the board. Note the CEM 5508H Octal Sample & Hold. It is also used in the Waldorf Waveslave, mentioned on Till Kopper's site here.

Update via Qwave (Till) in the comments: "This CEM 5508H is used in all versions of the Waldorf MicroWave too: [link]

Spot it in the close up pictures.

The Waldorf WAVE uses 1 CEM PD508 as multiplexer for the analog voltages that feed the analog filter and VCA chips. The CEM 5508H is used for the very same purpose in the MicroWave and WaveSlave."

YAMAHA SK 15 Vintage analog string/brass/organ synth

"Very similar to the Sk20 just lacks some of the SK20'S features but soundwise pretty much identical . Great for string and organ sounds. Has a lovely ensemble effect . Comparable in sound to Roland RS202 synth."

WALDORF MICRO Q Keyboard

via this auction

"rare Waldorf MicroQ synthesizer. This keyboard is amazing at emulating some of the best analog bass synths, including: 303 lines, synth leads, trance pads, beats, and more. This may be the little brother of the Q synth, but it definitely isn't light on features! This synth features 25 voices (expandable to 75), 16-part multi timbral, 300 single programs, 100 multi programs, 20 drummaps, 5 Oscillators per voice capability, Oscillator FM, Ring Modulation, Noise Generator, Arpeggiator with user pattern, including accents, timing information, swing, glide, chords, and a load of effects including Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Distortion, Delay, 2X Surround Delay, and a Vocoder with 25 bands. The rack mount version is much more common, and this version with the keyboard is much more accessible and easy to use. Unlike the 2-space rack mount version, the 37-note keyboard version come with Pitch and Mod wheels, in addition to, pedal inputs."
