SIMMONS TMI & SDE FM SYNTH COMBO

via this auction

"The SDE is practically a fm synth ! You can assign midi channels to each voice to play a certain sound. Complex programming but once you get your head around it its pretty cool . The TMI unit is great and all 8 channels work... Some more info on both of the units here:

via this auction
"Tula's factory of musical instruments "Melodiya". Tom - 1501 is an EMI, that has an orchestral effect. This portable instrument is intended for solo playing musical compositions of any genre. It is also can be successfully used in ensembles. Tom - 1501 is a one-manual keyboard instrument that can play the following soundings: piano, clavesin, orchestrall ensemble, viola, contrabass and wind instruments.

The instrument consists of the following sections:
assigning generator
12 manipulators
generator of infralow frequency
delay line
brass filter
block of filters
output amp
power block
sustain pedal

The only thing that forms all the tones is the main generator. That's why a possibility of instrument's detuning in the process of operation is eliminated. The basis of timbres formation of the instrument is a synthesis of 6 registers on the left side of the keyboard and 5 registers on the right one. Tom - 1501 gives one a possibility to change sounding during playing the composition using such special effects as vibrato, sustain, chorus.

"A midi sequence where the Buchla 20 is passed through an 8 device uhbiks effects plus a separate output untreated. Tracks with effest are managed with the Bitstream 3x which provides a variety of stamps. In oscillators, I used the 259e and two 261e.
The MIDI sequence was made with the publisher NoteAbility Pro, the processing device is Live 8.2.2.

Vacoloco JuJu First Samples

via Vacoloco:

"JuJu is finally making sounds, after weeks of hassle and prep…

This is still early days, and the samples are very quiet so I had to bump up the gain to get them recorded (hence the background noise), but they’re there and sounding really good.

Sounds are on Synth.net here -

New Projects...
Hi Everyone!

I have 3 new projects to announce. First, I have prototype PCBs for the Duo-Phonic keyboard. I've got an idea how to modify a Fatar keybed to use reed switches and magnets as a buss keyboard. I'll post my results.

Second, I'm working on the Microcon. It will be a module suitable for Eurorack or standalone. In standalone, you will need to add a +/- 12 volt supply. I've got the schematic mostly captured. I'm thinking I can get PCBs in about 2 months.

Third, Tom Carpenter at Analogue Solutions is selling Red Square PCBs and panels. Pretty bare bones, but I'm putting a page together to help out those who are building it. There are some unique semiconductors and the BOM lacks some part numbers, eg: pots with switch. Anyway, I also bought an assembled Red Square and will take some photos of the inside so the PCB interconnection and other details will be more clear."

Update via electro-music.com: "To compliment the Steiner Synthasystem resurrection I completed (see here http://www.xmission.com/~dingebre/Synthasystem.html), I'm now undertaking the Steiner Microcon. I'll put up a page with build/calibration notes and will have PCBs for sale. Be aware, it does use two Vactrols which are becoming extinct. They are the VTL5C3/2 variety right now available at Allied Electronics. It also makes use of 5 74C14 Hex Inverters. There are some substitutes which I'll have in the build notes. It also uses a 2n5246 JFET which also recently went away, but it isn't really special and there are substitutes. Everything else should be relatively easy to find.

There are a couple of trimmers on the PCB which will be configured so you can make it a panel pot, like resonance, and sustain level. So, stay tuned.

The Microcon was a standalone synthesizer voice, VCO, LFO, VCF, EG (driving a VCA). It also had a unique way to "fatten" the VCO sound. Below is a photo taken of one Nyle mounted in a custom rack of 8 (or was it 9) Microcons as a special order."
