"dual 12db/oct switched capacitor multimode filter with mode selction and clock disruption.

Bionic Lester is a dual multimode filter capable of many operational modes. Each side has dedicated lowpass and bandpass outputs, and the third output for each side can be switched between highpass, allpass, or notch. The input amplifiers for each filter are scaled to allow some distortion. The character of this distortion changes with the mode setting.

Bionic Lester has some normalled signal paths for convenient patching. The sum of the first channel's manual cutoff control and CV input are normalled to the CV input for the second channel. This allows you to control both filter sections with a single hand (or CV), useful for dual-peak or allpass phasing applications. The audio input for the first channel is also normalled to the second to facilitate parallel filtering. The filter cutoffs are determined by dividing down a high-frequency clock generator.

For the second channel, you can choose either the first or second channel's generator as a clock source. If you select both clock generators, absolutely horrifying audio garbage will result. A pushbutton control for selecting the desired amount of aliasing (minimum or maximum) applies to both sections. Resonance is voltage-controllable.

Because Lester is a switched-capacitor filter, the user must be warned of some of its characteristics. The aliasing, third output mode selection, and resonance settings are shared between both units. At lower cutoff frequencies, some aliasing may be present in the output signal depending on your resonance, aliasing, and mode settings, as well as the type of input signal. Bionic Lester does not self-oscillate using the onboard resonance control.

An expander unit will be released soon. It is a 2x3 bipolar mixer (with mutes) that invisibly attaches to Bionic Lester for patchcord-free mixing of the six outputs, with dual VCA feedback paths back into the filter sections. It also functions standalone as a performance mixer, with front-panel knobs and jacks that are also useful for injecting external signals and effects into the Lester core."

"Sawtooth-core VCO with 1V/octave tracking, manual octave switch, voltage-controllable pulse width modulation, and both linear and exponential frequency modulation. This is a Eurorack packaging of the Polivoks Generator circuit, authorized by the instrument inventor Vladimir Kuzmin. The exponential converter and temperature compensation circuits use original NOS Soviet integrated circuits. The hard sync is very sharp and the distortion on the triangle output is nice."

Tronsonic Dark Horse Kawai 100f Sample Set

via tronsonic where you'll find samples.
"This analogue monosynth from 1980 wasn't everyones cup of tea. Great for sci-fi effects but perhaps not the sweetest lead sounds. With this pack, both the sawtooth and square waves (as well as white noise) have been sampled to tape in their pure form (ie no filter/modulation etc). Now you have the ability to playback this 'mellotronized' monosynth with full polyphony - and here is where the magic begins! A truly unique analogue/digital hybrid synth has been born...the Dark Horse..."

The Dewanatron Novitiate

The Dewanatron Novitiate by Recondite
"Here is a recording which, excepting drums, was created entirely with the one-of-a-kind Dewanatron Novitiate made by the Dewan Cousins for the Bob Moog Foundation. It is monophonic, so multitracking was necessary. It is fully analog and housed in a very cool case. The Novitiate was designed to simply synthesis for educational purposes, but sounds great in the process."

Sorry for my bad english, and please don't complain about the bad audio quality because this movie is just for educational use."

magnum opus: analog textures

magnum opus: analog textures by bartonmusic

"After years of exploring and experimenting with the Buchla 200e Electric Music Box, I have now sculpted a little piece that pays homage to the depth, insight, intuition and imagination of its master-builder: Don Buchla.

This is my brief magnum opus to Don’s constellation of expressively and musically designed modules. All sounds were created on a 12-module Buchla system.

Some sounds where processed on the fly inside Ableton Live 8 using its stock delays and reverbs along with some chorusing from Sound Toys’ Crystallizer.

If you’ve got 8’30” to spare sit back with some good studio monitors or headsets and enjoy! All best wishes, Todd"

Sexy legs.

Moog Sonic Six and custom White Voyager in the background. Anyone ID the vocoder?

Update: looks like the Voyager might be the CustomSynth Chrome Voyager posted here. Nice catch via Suit & Tie Guy.
