Manufacturer Description:
Envelope Generator with EMS-style repeats
Width 12HP
The EG produces a CV that varies over a period of time. It’s start is triggered by a Gate or Trigger signal.
The main use for an EG is to vary the volume of a sound, (when used to control a VCA), to reproduce the way natural instruments sound. E.g. a piano sound starting loud when the key is struck, then gradually dieing away. It can also be used to change the timbre of a sound over time, by controlling the cut-off frequency of a VCF.
The most common EGs are ADSR, AD and AR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release). The attack time adjusts the rate at which the envelope will rise to its peak value. This is initiated with a Gate signal. The Decay adjusts the rate the signal takes to fall to the Sustain level. The Sustain level adjusts the level that the EG signal will sustain from the end of the Decay time till the end of the Gate signal (i.e. when the key is release). The Release time adjusts the rate the signal takes to fall from its current level to zero, after the end of the Gate signal (when the key was released). If a short Trigger signal is used to initiate the EG, there will be no Decay or Sustain portion to the EG signal. The signal will rise to peak level (Attack), then immediately fall from peak to zero at the Release rate.
Special EMS-Style Repeat Function
The EG01 has an EMS-style repeat function which is easy to use and adds powerful modulation capabilities.
When the sustain level is set to zero the repeat function will be active. The envelope will repeat (re-trigger itself) so as soon as the envelope finishes its cycle, it starts all over gain. In this mode the EG becomes an LFO or Oscillator. The speed is set by the Attack and Decay time. (The Release control will have no effect). By setting very short times an audio signal will be present!
Whether the repeat is short giving high frequencies (audio signals) or slow (like an LFO), by varying the Attack or Decay times you are changing the wave shape of the output. Anything from Saw to Triangle to Reverse Saw wave forms can be created.
The unique way in which the EG01 repeat works is that it will only repeat as long as the Gate voltage is at the Trigger input (i.e. the key is held down/sustained). This is a great bonus compared to other repeating envelopes in that rather than repeating indefinitely, it will only repeat as long as you want it to (by controlling the length of the Gate signal). One application of this is by setting the repeat function to create an audio signal. The output will only produce audio when a Gate signal is present. This gives you a gated audio signal - effectively an Oscillator through a VCA.
Controls & Sockets:
EG has A, D, S, R and Level
(push pull switch to select - to +)
EG also has and EMS-style Repeat function (when sustain set to zero and key held down) - this is an easy to use and powerful feature.
EG has Trig In, + Out, - to + (variable) Out."
MOOG Sonic 6 vintage analog suitcase synthesizer
via this auction
"The Sonic 6 is a special synthesizer. Built into its own case, it is duophonic, has two LFOs, an external input that runs through the filter and ring modulator, and a built-in speaker. The LFOs can be mixed and can receive voltage from the envelope--producing some unique modulation effects.
This Sonic 6 is in excellent condition, save for a couple minor flaws. The Moog label is peeling up on the outside of the case and the synth is missing four slider caps. Additionally, the shaft for one slider is sheared off; the slider is still easy to operate with your finger tip. The synth received a recent service at Switched On Music Electronics, including new keyboard bushings and rebuilding of the internal amplifier. It works 100% and sounds fantastic."
YAMAHA CS-50 vintage analog 4 voice polyphonic synth
via this auction
See zolophile (RSS) for more.
"The CS-50 is roughly 1/4 of a CS-80, yet it is about 1/10 the price. Many of the classic CS sounds are possible on this synth--it has that rich filter combination, powerful ring modulator, aftertouch, and the ability to mix in the sine wave after the filter. It is very expressive and powerful."
Korg Guitar Synthesizer X-911 - 2047 Tone Color Combinations
via this auction
"Although designed essentially as a guitar synthesizer, this compact, versatile unit can also derive a control signal from any monophonic instrument. The Korg X-911 is as easy to use as any effects device, yet will produce extremely complex sonic variations. No special guitar pickup is required. Merely patch your guitar, microphone, or other instrument into the X-911 and play one note at a time.
Simple pushbuttons on the front panel let you choose five different instrumental sounds including bass, trumpet, and flute, along with five synthesizer waveforms which can be varied freely to get a wide variety of different effects. Any or all of these may be mixed together to produce 2047 different tone color combinations."
Vintage Mini Korg 700 Synthesizer Univox Analog
via this auction
SN 0963
"Keio's organ products were successful throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s but, concerned about the competition from other big organ manufacturers, Kato decided to use the organ technology to build a keyboard for the then-niche synthesizer market. Keio's first synthesizer, the miniKORG, was thus released in 1973."
