"Aftertouch & velocity sensitive with internal MIDI from Kenton but can also be controlled by CV/S-Trig and has Filer CV input also.

Using the MIDI & filer CVin combined you can make the Amplifier envelope respond to velocity via onboard Aux controller, whilst using the Filer CV to allow response of the filter to velocity, aftertouch or another MIDI CC...

These synths are rare with possibly only 150 or so ever made... That's hand made too. Mine is serial number 00XX. (for the winning bidder only)"

Vermona Quad MIDI-CV Interface

via Vermona

"We are currently working on a MIDI-to-CV converter for 3HE eurorack modular systems, based on the PerFourMers MIDI interface. The module features four CV/Gate channels that can be used individually or in any combination in monophonic or polyphonic modes. Beside a gate- and a 1V/octave-CV-output each channel has two additional CV outs for controllers like Pitch bender, modulation wheel, velocity and more. Clock outs are available as well as a reset out.

The module will be avaliable in autumn this year at a price of EUR 300,00."

"Jules wrote to me recently with a wonderful picture - his new baby boy with his old Weevil (c.2006 I think).

'I cannot tell you how brilliant the weevil is in terms of helping this little baby sleep.'"

श्रुति-1 (Shruthi-1) Monosynth assembly

श्रुति-1 (Shruthi-1) Monosynth assembly from Justin on Vimeo.

"Assembly and test of the श्रुति-1 monosynth from Mutable Instruments. Here is what MI has to say about it:
The Shruthi-1 is a hybrid monosynth, combining the warmth of real analogue filters with the edginess and synthesis possibilities (FM, wavetable oscillators, modulation matrix, sequencing, full MIDI implementation) of digital synthesizers. Its hardware design is deceptively simple — optimized for DIY assembly, not for large-scale manufacturing — but don’t be fooled, its sonic range is wide! Sometimes grungily digital like a PPG-Wave, fat and funky like a SH-101, videogame-y like a Commodore 64, weird and warm like an ESQ-1 ; but more often than not, truly original.

Folks with quick eyes will notice that the video shows both the CEM3379 & SMR-4 Filter board and two different digital control boards. I've built a few of these devices over the past months and ended up using the best bits of video from each build. So yea, don't get your panties in a knot about it.

The music is by a currently unnamed project I'm happy to be a part of. For the purposes of dissemination it needs a name, if only a temporary one, so I'm calling this one Enchanted Forest. It's a bit of an inside joke for the Pacific Northwest. Anyway, you can hear the Shruthi with the SMR-4 filter in full effect all over this recording doing what it does best: sounding awesomely weird."
