MacBeth MK1 Oscillator 'A'


via Ken MacBeth's Photos
Left: "Now that I have all the MacBeth Mk1 Modular Metalwork and PCBs in stock- I normally build each thing I'm working on as a final test before they go off to the assembly plant. This is the MacBeth Mk1 Oscillator 'A' that I built up yesterday..."
Right: "This is the rear view of the MacBeth Mk1 Oscillator 'A'.......this module, like the other that I am doing has a very flat profile- ideal for suitcase etc!
I included to jack sockets (minijacks) that feature on the tunable elements such as oscillators and filters. Instead of having to use multiples and multiple cables to send CV to each unit- I thought it would be neat to send CV from one module to another using minijack cables.....in the background so to speak!"

Marco Rosano's "Analog Bach - Baroque Synthesizer" on the Rhodes Chroma

via the Rhodes Chroma site where you'll find some audio.
"This is an outstanding album of baroque composisions showing off the Chroma's capabilities in a genre that's relatively uncommon for the instrument. Thanks to Marco for providing the two sample tracks available here. Be sure to pick up the rest at the iTunes store."

Analogue Solutions Matrix64 - Eurorack
via Noisebug on eBay"Pin Matrix Patch Panel
22HP
note: this is a passive module and uses no power.
This is a pin matrix similar to that used in the Vostok modular synth.
It has 8 inputs and 8 outputs wired to mini-jacks. You can then patch these I/Os to your modules using CV leads.
As the panel is 10x10, there are an additional 2 ins and 2 outs that you can hard-wired (solder) to any modules you wish. Or, leave them empty and use as a place to store spare pins!
16 jacks
10 x 10 pin matrix.
Pins not included."
New Improved YuSynth ADSR
via YuSynth on electro-music.com:"I now propose an improved design of the yusynth ADSR.
The changes are :
Now the input stage is a discrete Schmitt trigger. As such any signal (this means not necessarily a regular GATE signal) can be used to trigger the ADSR as soon as its level goes above 2V.
The input impedance is now very high which makes it possible to feed more than four ADSR on the same GATE signal source without problem.
A buffering stage as been added between the SUSTAIN potentiometer and the DECAY potentiometer. This fixes a slight bug that made the DECAY rate dependant of the SUSTAIN setting. Now they are completly independant.
A short/long envelope option is now provided by setting jumpers on the PCB which select proper timing capacitors and ATTACK resistors. Note that this can be as well connected to an "on panel" DPDT switch to allow interactive selection of the ADSR mode.
And ultimatly, a resistor can be added or ignored to set the range of the REVERSE ADSR mode. Without resistor, the range is 0V (quiet status) to -10V (max range); with the the resistor installed, the range is +10V (quiet mode) to 0V (max range).
Check this at http://yusynth.net/Modular/EN/ADSR/index.html
Another important change is that from now the yusynth PCBs will provide prints for both DOTCOM style PSU connector and MOTM style PSU connector !"
