Dot.com Sequencer and GRP A 8 Sequencer work together, space analogue music

YouTube via Synthiefrau | February 03, 2011 |

"Hi lovely Synthfolk, this is a live improvision. The two analogue Seqencer of my Synthesizers.com System and the GRP A8 work together. The Leads comes from the Minimoog. Effects are from the little Dark energy (my love) from Doepfer and from the Juno 60. Welcome too the space track."

Blacet Research to Release MOTM/Synth Tech Modules

via the Blacet mailing list:

"Hi All:

I've had the opportunity to check out some of Synthesis Technology's new DSP modules. They are nice and compact, have interesting features hard to implement in a totally analog fashion and they sound very nice.

E340 Cloud Generator
E350 Morphing Terrarium
E560 Deflector Shield
E580 Resampling Mini-Delay

Paul has had the foresight to include a MOTM/Blacet power connector on each board as well as the Euro connector. The size is also quite adaptable to the Frac footprint.

We have an opportunity to offer these in fully assembled Frac format. These are mainly surface mount and would be 90% assembled by Synthesis Technology's supply chain with the front panel assembly, testing etc performed by Blacet.

I don't expect to stock these in a normal manner due to minimum batch sizes and the complexities of an external vendor. The plan at this point is to make a small run of each module spaced out during 2011 based on advance orders.

The E350, which will be the F350, will be the first to be offered. Expected ship date is 4-1-2011. Look for an order link on our store page in a few days.

Any other feedback is, of course appreciated.

John Blacet"

YouTube via retrosound72 | February 02, 2011 |

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

PPG Waveterm A and Wave 2.2 Wavetable Synthesizer from the year 1982.

The Waveterm is the heart of the legendary PPG system and based on an old german computer called Eltec Eurocom II with Motorola 6809 processor.

- creation of Waves and Wavetables
- fourier analysis / resonator
- additive synthesis
- 8 bit Sampling for the WAVE 2.2
- sequencer / event generator
- storage of sounds on 8" disc

this first demo video shows only a few functions (creation of waves, wavetables) of the Waveterm A. more coming soon."

"this second WT-A demo video shows a few samples from The Waveterm A library, sample edition and resynthesis. You hear only pure waveforms, no sounds."

New Club of The Knobs C951A QUAD Arpeggio Router & C951 Arpeggiator

via Club of The Knobs

"The C951A QUAD ARPEGGIO ROUTER may be considered as a driver for up to 4x C951 arpeggiators.
- choose which channel(s) (1-2-3-4-ALL) you want to route to
- choose if you want to PLAY or TRANSPOSE (1-2-3-4-ALL)
- switch to COMMON CLOCK to sync all C951's to one clock source
- enable / disable individual C951's

The C951A router is designed for live performance, i.e. start arpeggio on ARP1, then add 2nd on ARP2 etc. Preset all arpeggiators and then switch them on or off."

C 951 ARPEGGIATOR
"In a classic arpeggiator, there is always a 1:1 relation between a clock pulse and the next played note. This means that ONE clock pulse triggers ONE note (next or previous). With the new STRETCH function, this can be modified in a way that the clock pulse is "multiplied" by a factor. Turning the "STRETCH" fully ccw, all works in the classic way, i.e. 1:1. When increasing "STRETCH"-pot, the arpeggiator starts skipping more and more notes and is of course folded back on the pattern. Therefore you can generate the most interesting pattern modifications from hurrying up and down the scales to reverse and random. The strech-factor starts smoothly with factors like 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.5 to control this feature very precisely." COTK

Oberheim Xpander with Oddernmart Xpansion

via this auction

"This synth also has the Oddernmart Xpansion (see picture) which lets you plug in any audio source and process it with the Xpander's great 15-mode filters and control sources. This turns your Xpander into a 6-channel analog audio processor."
