EDP WASP SYNTH

YouTube via istct6 | September 06, 2010

via this auction

"This is an auction for my trusty old wasp synth that I bought back in 1981. Sadly, like nearly all wasps, the old plastic case became brittle and damaged over time until it became more duck tape than case. As such I have built my own case using pictures of the original WASP SPECIAL with a few modifications of my own; the speaker for instance is not included on the WASP SPECIAL. The sound, however, remains unchanged..."

Update: you can find a site dedicated to Casio horn instruments here. Via Aud1073cH in the comments who notes: "I wonder if this unit has had the squeal problem fixed? Luckily the DH-100 only needs a single capacitor."

"Analog Metropolis Since 2002 I have been developing, building and manufacturing over 100 different analog synthesizer modules. A variety of legacy circuits from the past have been recast with modern high quality components, as well as modern cutting edge designs which transform the modular synthesizer into a hybrid landscape of analog and digital electronics. These analog designs are all branded as Analog Metropolis.

These web pages describe the various designs that I have built, along with sound samples, accurate measurements of their sonic ability and some design information which Synth DIYers may find useful. I have also documented the original designs and history of the analog synths I have cloned, which makes interesting reading in its own right. "

The Minimogue VA with the Gristleizer

flickr By NeuGristle87

"This is the Minimogue VA. It's a lead, FX and bass synth just like the real Minimoog; the first 3 rows of knobs represent the original Minimoog. The only additions here is a button for retrig and legato. The original Minimoog is always set to legato. Also there are sliders for fine tuning that is not present on the Minimoog, but these works just like the pitch knob, only that it is more sensitive. It's just there to help you, because the Minimoog sounds best when it is almost in tune, but not 100%. Tuning plays a big part in the Minimoog sound. Also release in the envelope generators is added. The upper section is where you create sounds.

The last row of knobs represent new features that were added that is not present on the original Minimoog. These features are midi control, oscillator sync, LFO, autopan, overdrive, chorus and a delay section that you can sync to host BPM. The LFO has 3 functions. At low level settings it is intended to simulate the small tuning and instabilities in an original Minimoog. At high level settings it simulates the tweaking of a knob so that you can focus on the playing. The third function is to give oscillatorsync pitch variations to work with. It also syncs to host BPM.

Partially hidden is the Gristleizer patch for the Pure Data program."
