METASONIX R-54 VCO/VCF Tube Supermodule

via this auction

From the Metasonix website:
"It uses a triode-pentode in a unique Wien-bridge circuit, to provide clean sine-wave oscillation. Using a Vactrol, the pitch of the R-54 is sweepable from less than 20 Hz to more than 5 kHz, continuously, via front-panel control or a CV input. By adjusting the waveshape/resonance control, the sinewave signal produced by the R-54 can be trimmed to less than 10% THD (depending on operating pitch)---with NONE of the problems inherent in solid-state oscillators and sine waveshapers. Because the Wien bridge contains no piecewise sine shaper or amplitude-control circuit or component. The tube itself performs that job. So the distortion products are entirely low-order, unlike the "sine waves" that solid-state VCOs or samplers produce.

Turn up the overdrive control, and the oscillator output clips the output amplifier pentode tube, for a unique soft-clipped square-wave sound. The simplicity of the R-54 will fool you--its behavior is odd and radical, and it will take you months or years to fully explore all of its quirks.

Now for the special trick. Plug an audio signal into the audio input. Instantly, the R-54 transforms from a VCO into a bandpass resonant voltage-controlled filter, with the same range as in VCO operation -- 20 Hz to 5 kHz. Its behavior and sound are unique. Again, you will be kept busy for years exploring all of its strangeness.

CV response: Hz/v. Use a suitable MIDI/CV interface, or use our R-60 interface to obtain perfect equal-tempered tuning every time. Maximum output signal, 12 v p-p. Power requirement: +-12v dc, approx 150 mA. (All specifications are approximate and may vary from sample to sample.) Tubes used: 19KG8, 6AK5."

sympleSEQ Now Available

You might remember sympleSEQ from this previous post. Hex Inverter wrote in to let us know their IndieGoGo funding blew past their goal and they are now in production. They also made some significant updates to the feature set.

"What am I talking about? Well, the original concept was VERY minimalistic. There was nothing other than tempo, gate out and CV output. Through the discussion had with members on the forums where this was being developed, people requested pause/reset functionality be included as well. Using a very small amount of components and some trickery, I was able to achieve this -- so now sympleSEQ also boasts the option of adding reset/pause functionality!

Possibly best of all is that I had a panel artist come to me who wants to make panels for everyone!

I have a limited number of kits left in stock, but plenty of bare circuit boards for people. There is a well documented assembly manual for people as well.

sympleSEQ can be found/purchased at: http://shop.hexinverter.net

Panels will be available soon from Ben at: http://www.resynthesis.co.uk

Here is the build manual"


Below is a video of sympleSEQ with a Benjolin.



Benjolin Meets sympleSEQ -- a sequenced analog synthesis jam
YouTube Uploaded by hexinverterDOTnet on Dec 5, 2011

"Rob Hordyk's amazing Benjolin meets hexinverter.net's sympleSEQ for a little jam before they get enclosed in their final enclosure.

Here I am driving the two oscillators and the onboard filter at different times with sympleSEQ, as well as just noodling away on the Benjolin.

sympleSEQ is an easy to make 8-step analog step-sequencer. It utilizes board-mount components and a unique dual PCB design, making it simple to create an analog sequencer for driving your voltage controlled synthesizer gear or circuit bent toys with. It is particularly suited to lo-fi artists due to the low feature set (and thus complexity). It is also very economical to build compared to any other sequencer on the market.

sympleSEQ can be driven by a wide range of voltages (9-15V DC) and thus is highly portable.
