20 One Band Modular Vocoder
YouTube via 7thDanSound | November 15, 2010
"Vocoders are complex machines but working with a simple principle. They take two inputs, put them through filterbanks and apply the envelopes of one input and applies it on the amplitude of the other. Thus the frequency spectrum of one signal is imparted on the other but only if that signal contains those frequencies. Usually vocoders sport filterbanks with at least 10 filters in each, expensive if you want to do it with a modular. This demo shows that you can make quite an efficient vocoder using just one filter each for carrier and modulator!"
TouchOSC iPad Template for the Rhodes Chroma
Rhodes Chroma TouchOSC Editor
YouTube via matrixsynth | November 21, 2010 |
"The Chroma has a slightly, conceptually different architecture than most analog poly synths. On most you have two oscillators that are routed through a filter with shared modulation sources such as envelopes and LFOs. On the Chroma, each of two oscillators, Wave A and Wave B have corresponding filters, Filter A and Filter B, LFOs called Sweep A and B, and so on. The routing is not fixed and is very flexible, meaning you can use modulation sources on B with A and vice versa. There is too much to go into here, so check out the excellent Rhodes Chroma site for more: http://rhodeschroma.com/.
As for this video, the Chroma starts with an initialized patch which only has one "Wave/Patch" active. In the beginning I adjust the pitch for Wave A which is active. I then show Wave B is inactive by attempting to adjust its pitch which does nothing. I then enable Wave B followed by applying various modulations to filter and pitch for both. This video is not a performance and is only meant to show a little of what the Rhodes Chroma TouchOSC editor is capable of." See the screens above for reference. Below is a shot of the iPad on top of the Chroma.
Update: see this post for an editor that does not require The Missing Link.
For The Missing Link you can find templates here. One is for TouchOSC and one is for OSCulator.
For those new to TouchOSC and OSCulator, TouchOSC provides a JazzMutant Lemur-like control interface that is completely configurable. You can read more about it on hexler.net here. TouchOSC only transmits Open Sound Control messages. To translate these messages to MIDI CC you need something like OSCulator.
The two templates in the share above are for TouchOSC and OSCulator. For TouchOSC you just need to drop the mapping in the templates folder and sync to your iPad. You can then select the mapping. For OSCulator, you just need to open the template, click on the Settings icon and set it to use whatever MIDI out you plan to hook into your Chroma. Note you do need the CC+ upgrade on your Chroma with MIDI set for Expanded Mode MCM.
The screens show all editable parameters of the Rhodes Chroma. If you have a Chroma, you owe it to yourself to check out the Rhodes Chroma website and join the email list.

Play music in a different way!
For all fans of modular synths, analog synths, ribbon synths, theremins, sensors interfaces and controller of all kinds... ModularSquare opens its door around the thema: oPlay music in a different way. In a digital world where music has become digital, what means playing music in a different way? It might be using the best of all technologies from yesterday or today, explore unknown spaces and sounds, travel in the past and also in the future... Have you ever controlled a modular synth with sensors sticked on your body? Have you ever controlled Ableton Live with a Persephone mkII or with a theremin?
from 2.00pm to 6.30pm.

Maplin 5600S Stereo Analog Synthesizer
via this auction"An absolute MONSTER of a full pinpatch Quad Oscillator modular Analog Synthesizer, that has had a lot of TLC..."
Update: more pics and info:
"This auction also includes all original manuals and the very rare original Demo Cassette...
One of the real strengths of this synth are its very wide ranging oscillators.... Footage ranges in seven stages from 32foot to 1/2foot ... AND! they can also be switched into LOW mode and be used as a control voltage source effectively giving you another LFO for every single oscillator. Five waveforms, plus pulse width modulation!! each oscillator can be also be synced to oscillator 1.
With a total of four Oscillators plus an additional independent LFO on the synth, all I can say is WOW!! that is one heck of a FAT sound when you stack them all together. absolutely blows the socks off Moog synths from the same period.The oscillators are coupled directly to three totally independent oscillator mixers.... so you can have three entirely different oscillator mixes available at all times..... amazing stuff when you start panning that around the Stereo Mix, and you can do that on this synth using voltage control.
Another two mixers (number 4 and 5) allow either mixing of audio signals or mixing of control voltages. In the same section as those two mixers are the synths filters... And they are a real powerhouse. With switchable ranges at 12db per Octave and 24db per Octave, tunable.... they can deliver earth shattering bass... as well as being able to self resonate for those classic synth twangs and squeaks......Envelope generators..... How many do you want? unlike most analog synths which only have one, the Maplin has three totally independent EG sections.... One has a built in amp VCA for audio signals and the other two output control signals that can be used to modulate or control any other part of the audio or signal chain. Including two further independent audio amps. Way too many features to list here.......
The Joystick controller... way more than you might expect from this little device. Far from being just a pitch and modulation bender, like on modern synths, this little beauty can be patched to control almost any part of the signal or control chain. Meaning that you could for example have it controlling the cutoff point of a filter or the time delay of an EG or the frequency of an oscillator or the level of the built in reverb."
