Umlaut by Parallax - a pants-packing powerhouse of keyboard synthy plop plop!

YouTube Uploaded by hamsterdunce on Sep 1, 2011

CustomSynth white Roland JX-3P, JD-800 and more synth spotting. That is the man behind The Packrat and more.
"Buy the album on umop.com/parallax.htm

I'll bet you were wondering why I haven't made any synth videos in a while! I was just wondering the same thing myself! My checkered wristband is currently missing (don't worry, I'll find it... or just tattoo the freaking thing on my wrist once and for all), so I found a delightful mask instead. It makes me release my inner wharrgarbl. So there you have it... UMLAUT from my CD "Visit the Entropics" which is available on an old-fashioned CD & also on iTunes. Please support my music and I'll try to make more insipid videos for your drooling, gibbering pleasure."

"Here is a quick vid of the DSC in action at the NYC Lenovo event. Great to see people giving it a go! I was not able to make it, but it looks like they had a lot of fun.
DJing is Richard LaBennett, who is the WW ThinkPad Product Manager at Lenovo. He DJs on the side!"

The Harvestman - Stillson Hammer

via this auction
"Burst generator with six outputs. A manual button press (or external gate input) will start a "burst" of repeated gate events coming out of a selected range of outputs. Burst frequency (time between gate outputs), output span (from 1 to 6 outputs), and event count are all voltage controllable. The pattern of output transition is also selectable: normal forward sequential travel, pendulum (forward, then backward), and random patterns are available. There is also a bonus "threshold" mode that lights up a range of gate outputs in response to the magnitude of the main CV input."

Intellijel designs - FlipFlop

via this auction
"Features:
dual flipflop comprising a jk flip flop on top and a d flip flop below.
pushbutton for manual clock triggers.
all outputs buffered.
this is a versatile device useful for many functions including:
controlling sequencers.
pulse-controlled toggle switch.
pulse quantizing.
1-bit data storage (by clock or instant).
clock dividing (1:2 and 1:4) well into audio rates (creates sub octave pulse waves)."

The Harvestman – Tyme Sefari + SOT

via this auction
"The Tyme Sefari allows to record audio signals into its internal RAM and to play it back, just as a sampler. But using the feedback control, the loop markers and the mix control with corresponding output you can also create wild delay effects. Or you can use it as an audio buffer. Or as an A-D-A converter to "digitalize" your audio signal
Another comlpex and unique digital module with analog CV control by The Harvestman that invites for "hands-on" playing due to the amount of controls.

Technical details:
RAM based recording of minimum 2 seconds audio material at maximal loop length. 8 bit microcntroller with 32kB SRAM (no delay chip!)
The sample frequency control affects playback speed and transposition of the sample. The whole sample is being looped automatically unless you flip the "loop" switch. Then you can shorten the loop with the start- and end-point marker controls (if the start point is behind the end point, interesting digital side-effects happen). Also the playback direction can be changed with the switches. All those parameters can also be remote controlled by CV, gate and switch signals! The MIX output with according dry/wet control and the positive/negative feedback allow for delay effects with different timbres.

Inputs and outputs:
AUDIO:Audio In, Mix out, Delay out. CV: Loop Start In, Loop End In, Sampling Frequency In switch-CV-inputs: Record, Play, Loop, Direction

Measures and weight:
3U eurorack module / width: 15HP / depth (from back of faceplate) 44mm / current draw max. 80mA / weight ca.230g

A Sound Of Thunder

Overview:
A Sound Of Thunder is an expansion module for the Tyme Sefari which produces alterations of the recorded audio signal.

Technical details:
The module has eight switches which short or modify some connections and the signal flow inside the Tyme Sefari - a process known "circuit bending".

Inputs and outputs:
none. Only a ribbon cable for connecting to the Tyme Sefari

Measures and weight:
3U eurorack module / width: 3HP / depth (from back of faceplate) ca. 15mm / current draw: none, but the circuit bending can make the TymeSefari draw up to 60mA more / weight ca.40g"
