"Please Enjoy. This is all from a 10 min sequence of me just playing thru some patches - live no overdub and i've only used logic to normalize the audio. So the sound is the direct Andromeda signal throughout. Audio recorded to Logic using Audiobox Presonus from the LR main outs.

remember trains are always late.......please turn this up loudly

Three New Cynthia Modules in Five Popular Formats

"Cyndustries.com Presents Three New Cynthia® Brand Synthesizer Modules in Five Popular Formats!

Whether you desire Euro Rack, Dotcom / Moog, MOTM, FracRak, or Modcan A-Series format additions to your electronic music studio... you'll find that our modules are aesthetically, mechanically, and electrically, compatible with a multitude of products and systems from other familiar manufacturers.
The new Density Series offers a ton of functions in a really compact space, visit our site to see FOUR FILTERS, FOUR TRANSIENTS, and The OCTAL VCA.

We are committed to making the finest and most sophisticated modules possible! This is our ninth year in business and we're just getting started!

Our brand name can be found on thousands of exotic synthesizer modules in over (35) countries, and we are presently establishing an international dealer network!

Cynthia brand modules are above all unique, useful, and of course, totally fun! Get your hands on these edgy high-precision designs, and in an instant you will know the Cynthia difference!"

The Four Filters module consists of four laboratory quality multi-mode, two-pole filters with voltage controlled cutoff and variable Q. So what's so special about them? Are they a new, cool, edgy-sounding type? No. Are they warm and fuzzy and tan and chocolatey in the mid-range? No. What's so great about them is that there are four of them. A veritable busy-box of precision filters. Now you can get way more sophisticated with your spectral shaping! (After all, doing subtractive synthesis with only one filter, is like trying to do additive synthesis with only one sine wave). Now the training wheels are off!

Each filter can be either Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass, or Notch depending on how you pull or push the MODE knobs � like this:
OUT IN Lowpass
IN OUT Highpass
OUT OUT Notch

By patching the filters in series, or mixing them in parallel, you can obtain some very complex spectral shapes, some moving, and some fixed if you like.

Examples:

Use a single filter in Lowpass mode in the traditional way.
Off-load one of your super-expensive, jet-powered filters with one of these.
Use as pseudo lowpass gates.
Put two (or more) lowpass in series to get four-pole or steeper response.
Patch three or four in series (all hi-Q, Lowpass) to create a vocal tract (or any pipe)!
Mix a notch and two Bandpass to create a good string voicing filter.
Put a Lowpass and Highpass in series with tandem control to create Yamaha CS-80 sounds.
Mix four Bandpass together with LFO control to create a spectral animator!
Mix one or more Bandpass / Notch with some dry signal to create a parametric equalizer / fixed filter bank.
Multiple hi-Q filters struck with impulses makes complex percussion!
Put Lowpasses in series with staggered CV control to create a variable slope filter.
Formants, formants, formants.

And it bears repeating: Trying subtractive synthesis with only one filter, is like trying additive synthesis with only one sine wave! Maybe the search for that one really great filter is over. The answer doesn't lie in any single filter � you need more! A complex, moving spectrum is what entertains the ear... Here's the tool to for you to accomplish that!"

MeeBlip SE Coming in July

via MeeBlip: "It’s probably safe to let the cat out of the bag — we’ll be unveiling meeblip se in mid-July. The new MeeBlip will include bandlimited oscillators, a tweaked panel layout, a second envelope, extended MIDI capabilities and many other improvements. Current MeeBlip owners will be able to upgrade the firmware and replace the front panel to get se functionality. We’ll also unveil a few hardware changes that will make the synth easier to assemble and use. More on that in a few weeks. That’s the good news."
