PAL198X playing with Modular Synth

PAL198X playing with Modular Synth from Johnny Woods on Vimeo.

"Some quick examples of the Bleep Labs/Neon Indian PAL198X being controlled by a modular synth. Audio is directly from the PAL198X (with some FX). No filters/vcas/gates used.
Audio was recorded a little hot, so there is a little distortion. The actual unit sounds a bit cleaner.

Video was synthesized with LZX modules, using the same CV signals feeding the PAL198X and the audio output.

"Erasure's Vince Clarke talks about gear, including his Dave Smith Instruments old and new: Pro-One and Mopho Keyboard. Thanks for the kind words, Vince! The full interview is available at bonedo.de."

Interesting what he has to say about the Mopho and the Little Phatty. His first synth was the Kawai 100FS.

Moog MP-201 Multi-Pedal Discontinued

via Moog Music
"The MP-201 Multi-Pedal is the perfect Control Hub for live performers, studios, DJ's and more. It's built like a tank and with CV, MIDI and USB connectivity, it can control anything from a laptop running the latest software to a monster analog modular synth.

Applications include:

Sequence analog synths and effects with MIDI-to-CV conversion

Wring new sounds from old gear with four Envelope Generators & LFOs

Sync analog LFOs to sequencer rhythm tracks or live performances

Trigger MIDI events

Add preset-like control to Moogerfoogers

Control analog and MIDI effects rigs

Stay in control while your hands are busy playing, spinning or mixing! The possibilities are endless...

The number four comes up quite often when discussing the Multi-Pedal because practically anything it does, it can do on four independent channels simultaneously.

'I just started messing around with the Multi-Pedal not too long ago, and I love it!!! I incorporated it into my rig as I was rehearsing for our summer tour, and it opened up all new sonic possibilities for me.

It takes what I can only do with at least four hands and puts the control at my feet via a gas pedal. I use the four outs of the Multi-Pedal sort of like a patch bay. I have a four channel snake that runs from the Multi-Pedal to my Voyager or any one of my Moogerfoogers.

I love the mobility that pedal gives me, especially when coupled with the CP-251.'

Chris Kilmore of Incubus

Experience the Power of the Pedal Programmable four channel CV/MIDI/USB foot pedal controller featuring: - 4 Analog Control Voltage Outputs - 4 Independent LFOs - MIDI In, Out & MIDI over USB - MIDI Clock Sync & Tap Tempo - User Editable Presets - Programmable Heel & Toe Voltages - Optical Pedal Mechanism The Multi-Pedal has received a major software upgrade.

Herbie Hancock and George Duke Signed Little Phatty up for Auction

via this auction
"This Little Phatty® synthesizer was donated to the Bob Moog Foundation and the Museum of Making Music by Moog Music, Inc. pursuant to their joint exhibit, Waves of Inspiration: The Legacy of Moog, which was on display at the Museum of Making Music until April 2010. The Bob Moog Foundation and the Museum of Making Music both convey inspiration from music, history, and innovation. They will share the proceeds from the auction.

George Duke signed the back of the synthesizer after his November performance at the exhibit with the inscription “Keep Playing” and his signature. Herbie Hancock signed the iconic curved side panel of the instrument. Duke and Hancock are both considered synthesizer pioneers, making heavy use of the innovative instruments in the 1970s and 1980s.

This Little Phatty will be a unique conversation piece in your studio or music room. After all, who else has a synthesizer signed by two legendary synth players?

This is truly a one-of-a-kind piece!

50% of the sale price will be donated to the Bob Moog Foundation and 50% will be donated to the Museum of Making Music.

From the Moog Music site:
Like the Stage and Tribute Edition before it, the Little Phatty Stage II puts the performer in control of a 100% analog signal path, two ultra stable Voltage Controlled Oscillators, a Voltage Controlled Filter and other versatile features like an external audio input, CV and KB gate inputs and a full MIDI controller.

“The Little Phatty not only has it’s own signature killer sounds, but the ability to use it’s innovative interface as a versatile general MIDI controller make it an incredible tool for both performance and the studio.”
-Cyril Lance, Engineering Manager

Additionally, the Stage II boasts great new features including; MIDI over USB, MIDI Clock Sync, an Arpeggiator, Tap Tempo and a stylish New Black Finish.

The addition of MIDI over USB makes this performance and sound sculpting tool even more powerful. Combined with its warm analog sound, ability to process external audio and its intuitive performance, sound design and control features, the Stage II makes a great addition to any rig... from full-on analog, to a laptop/softsynth setup. You can also connect it directly to a computer running the Little Phatty Editor/Librarian.

MIDI Clock Sync allows you to synchronize the LFO and arpeggiator rate to the tempo of your MIDI sequencer, drum machine or software. Sample and hold, triangle, square, sawtooth and ramp wave modulations can now be perfectly timed with your rhythm tracks and the arpeggiator.

The arpeggiator is a great new performance feature with applications for musicians in all genres. Its wide variety of uses is sure to find a place in any style, and of course it also syncs to MIDI clock. Tap Tempo brings LFO and arpeggiator tempo sync functionality to situations in which there is no MIDI clock.

“The new features in the Little Phatty Stage II bring true analog synthesis to contemporary performance and production.” says Cyril Lance, “USB, MIDI Clock Sync, Tap Tempo and the Arpegiator make it a modern music powerhouse.”

[diy] WOODEN DRONE RING SYNTH

Wooden Drone Ring Synth by feedtheoctopus666
via this auction

"Der Wooden Drone Ring Synth ist ein handgefertigter Synthesizer. Er verfügt über insgesamt 2 Rechteckwellen-Oszillatoren deren Signale durch einen Ring Modulator zusammen geführt werden. Es gibt die Möglichkeit einen der Oszillatoren durch Audio und CV-Geräte zusteuern. Mithilfe eines Kippschalters kann man zwischen interner und externer Spannung wählen. Zudem gibt es einen Drucktaster mit dem der Ton, mit einem interessanten Effekt, ausgeblendet wird. Es gibt eine gelbe LED die in der Frequenz der Oszillatoren mit flackert. Das Gehäuse ist aus Holz und schwarzem Forex gearbeitet. Die verwendeten Komponenten sind alle hochwertig. Das Gerät kann mit einer 9V Blockbatterie verwendet werden. Als Aus- und Eingang dienen zwei 6,3mm Klinkenbuchse.

Durch die Möglichkeit externe Audioquellen mit dem Synth zu verbinden entstehen vielfältige Möglichkeiten den Sound zu verändern. Es können chaotische oder auch sehr minimalistische Klanglandschaften entstehen. Durch die großen und stabilen Knöpfe eignet sich das Gerät gut bei Live-Einsätzen. Für das erstellen von Noise und Drone Musik, ist der Synth bestens geeignet. Aber auch für das produzieren von anderer elektronischer Musik. Das Gerät macht auch in Verbindung mit einem modularen System Spaß.

Auf diysynth(Punkt)blogsport(Punkt)de findet ihr Beispielsounds zu dem Synth. (Bitte kopiert die Adresse in die Navigationsleiste eures Browers und ersetzt das Wort Punkt durch richtige Punkte)

Bitte lest auch das F.A.Q.

A little description for international bidders:

The Woooden Drone Ring is a very nice handmade Synth. It features 2 squarewave oscillators and one ring modulator. The 2 oscs can be controlled by knobs. There is a pushbutton that creates a nice release-effect, when pushed. You can connect nearly every audio or cv source to the synth. It will create nice and drony sounds and effects.

You can find some samples from the synth at diysynth(dot)blogsport(dot)de.

Please read the f.a.q."
