PureMagnetic Moog Opus Sample Pack

"Opus is a highly detailed re-creation of the celebrated Moog brass, organ and string machine. Just like on the original, each layer is programmed separately, bringing a unique, lifelike version of the Moog Opus direct to your Puremagnetik library.

Beyond the 3 part stereo mixer of the original, Puremagnetik has created some deeply programmed combinations and stacks. This collection includes twisting, evolving textures, analog techno basses, science fiction effects and more! The Opus sounds are perfect for your synth brass and string sections, plus they have an amazingly rich analog texture that complements a variety of musical styles.

Opus Features
• Over 30 multisampled programs, each with multiple layers to blend
• High Quality 24 bit samples
• Live version includes expertly crafted Instrument Racks with extensive Macro mapping
• Logic EXS version includes channel settings with Logic effects
• Kontakt version includes custom KSP interface and fully loaded effect chains"

M4L : Build a MIDI Synth in 1 minute! Pt 1 :

Learn to make your own Max for Ableton live synths!

YouTube via eameres2 | Feb 28, 2011 |

"Yes, it's basic, monophonic, and limited to sin waves, but I challenge you to create a velocity sensitive synth in less than 1 minute with fewer max objects!

I'm going to add features in future tutorials, including polyphony, other waveforms, filters, envelopes and much more, so subscribe and tune in! Will include modulation for that dubstep/DNB wobble of course!"

M4L : One minute synth Pt 2 : the ADSR~ envelope : Learning Max for Ableton live tutorial

Uploaded by eameres2 on Mar 2, 2011

"Second Part of our "one minute max" tutorials. Today we add an ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release" envelope to our mono-synth. This allows you to control the basic timing of the sound. Short attack and long decay/release for a bell like tone, full sustain and no release for a flute/organ like tone, etc.

I was able to get the bulk of the work done in under a minute, but I took a some extra time to explain things and label our new synths parameters. I don't want to short-change anyone!

Note that the first argument of the ADSR~ object is the trigger, and it preserves the velocity sensitivity "feature" we have going! The envelope varies from 0.0 to 1.0 so multiplying it against our signal is what gives our sound "shape".

Subscribe and tune in 2 days or so, we'll be adding a basic filter and eventually be adding polyphony! And of course useful dubstep and DNB effects!"

R54 MetaSonix Eurorack Module

via this auction
"this is a brand new module, never racked. barely used. the r-54 uses a triode-pentode in a unique wien-bridge circuit, to provide clean sine-wave oscillation. using a vactrol, the pitch of the r-54 is sweepable from less than 20 hz to more than 5 khz, continuously, via front-panel control or a cv input. by adjusting the waveshape/resonance control, the sinewave signal produced by the r-54 can be trimmed to less than 10% thd (depending on operating pitch)---with none of the problems inherent in solid-state oscillators and sine waveshapers. because the wien bridge contains no piecewise sine shaper or amplitude-control circuit or component. the tube itself performs that job. so the distortion products are entirely low-order, unlike the "sine waves" that solid-state vcos or samplers produce.

turn up the overdrive control, and the oscillator output clips the output amplifier pentode tube, for a unique soft-clipped square-wave sound. the simplicity of the r-54 will fool you--its behavior is odd and radical, and it will take you months or years to fully explore all of its quirks.

now for the special trick. plug an audio signal into the audio input. instantly, the r-54 transforms from a vco into a bandpass resonant voltage-controlled filter, with the same range as in vco operation -- 20 hz to 5 khz. its behavior and sound are unique. again, you will be kept busy for years exploring all of its strangeness.

cv response: hz/v. use a suitable midi/cv interface, or use our r-60 interface to obtain perfect equal-tempered tuning every time. maximum output signal, 12 v p-p power requirement: +-12v dc, 250 ma. (all specifications are approximate and may vary from sample to sample.) tubes used: 19kg8, 6ak5"

Oscillosine - Coming soon from Hollow Sun - Vintage HP Oscillator

"Almost as though it was found in the back of a damp garage after decades of neglect, Hollowsun has created Oscillosine. Reminiscent of an oddball inventor's strange homebrew creation, Oscillosine is designed to conjour the sights, sounds and smells of a 1940s experimenter's laboratory... glowing valves, otherworldly audio and maybe a hint of pipe tobacco.

The samples for Oscillosine are taken from a vintage tube Hewlett Packard sine wave test oscillator estimated to date back to the 50s or 60s, maybe earlier.

The more voices (or notes) the thing tries to play, the circuitry seems to strain slightly and the valves glow brighter which is visible through the front panel aperture.

Oscillosine offers serious abstract synthesis for the adventurous to bring something different to your productions whilst also providing more conventional sounds for more mainstream work.

For safety reasons, be sure to wear a white lab coat when operating Oscillosine."
