Cyndustries PRIME DIVIDER

via this auction
"Brand New Ready-to-Ship Synthesizer Module New Year Sale Special No Waiting!

The Rhythmic and Prime Divider modules are both comprised of seven independent frequency dividers with an input and logic-level output on each. The divider channels may be patched in series to derive any division factor. For example, to divide by 6, patch a divide-by-2 in series with a divide-by-3. The Rhythmic Divider has four divide-by-2 channels and three divide-by-3 channels. The Prime Divider channels divide by the prime numbers 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 and 23. These two extremely versatile and complementary modules will find wide use in any size system.
LEDS on each signal flash to show exactly what is happening and where.

Because of their ability to divide up to seven different signals simultaneously (instead of only one input signal at a time as do traditional dividers), you suddenly have this new hub of activity to patch throughout your system.

The eighth input on each module is a global Reset jack for synchronization purposes, and is level sensitive - causing all dividers to hold at reset until the reset signal falls low. There is also a button for manual reset, and you can select whether the dividers reset all-high or all-low with a front panel switch!

All inputs feature our anything-to-logic processor circuit. Any waveform is accepted provided it crosses above 1 volt. This means you can patch in a .001Hz sine wave and a divide-by-2 will reliably make you .0005Hz. Complex waveforms which cross the 1V threshold multiple times per cycle will produce interesting results.

Given a square wave input, the outputs are guaranteed to be 50% duty cycle square waves out, (even for odd division factors). This is great for rhythm generation because the ANDs are positioned correctly. (If the input square wave is not at 50%, the output ANDs will swing. That is, the falling edges will not be precisely between the rising edges...)

In addition to all the rhythm and pulsing jobs these dividers do for you... Unique timbral possibilities abound when the modules are taken into the audio range! Patching in a mix of oscillators into a single divider yields wild chaotic intervals. (A Cynthia Sawtooth Animator module used as a source creates random octave shifts).

You can also generate fixed audio frequency intervals saving yourself oscillators. Patch a VCO into a divide-by-2 and a divide-by-3, mix the outputs and you�ve got yourself a fifth that tracks perfectly!

There are control voltage uses as well. Patch up your divider chain of choice and take various outputs into a mixer. Use the mix to control a VCO. Instant mini sequencer!

Will the fun ever stop?

Cyndustries ANYTHING MODULE

via this auction
"Brand New Ready-to-Ship Synthesizer Module New Year Sale Special No Waiting!

The Anything Module is a send/return type interface that turns all your effect boxes, stomp boxes, and processors (ANYTHING) into synthesizer modules!

Want to process your oscillator cluster through that vintage Ibanez fuzz? Or maybe you want to hear what a reverberated transient sounds like controlling your Modcan VCF. Need a fixed filter bank? Just patch-in that equalizer you've got laying around. The possibilities are obviously endless.

Modular synthesizer voltage levels can reach 30Vpp at clipping. In contrast, a guitar stomp box is made to handle about 0.2Vpp - over 40db difference! Until now, it was difficult to marry these two worlds. The Anything Module takes care of this for you by attenuating the synthesizer down to "consumer" levels on the way out, and amplifying the external effect back up to "modular" levels on the way back. Low-noise amplifiers are used throughout in true variable-gain configuration. This means you hear your effect, not the noise of the recovery amp.

You get adjustable send and return controls with red/green LEDs showing you proper recovery level so you get it right. The Anything Module features a mono section and separate stereo section. You can process your old Univox tape echo and a Midiverb (in stereo) at the same time. You can also use the recovery sections alone to bring in things like tape decks and CD players. This changes everything... um, I mean anything!"

What a Polyphonic Arp 2600/Macbeth M5/Minimoog would sound like

YouTube Uploaded by ricel1992 on Jan 2, 2012

"Hooked up my mono synths with my Encore Expressionist and recorded a little video to show of the sound. I had the Acidlab Miami triggering the ARP Sequencer which was sequencing the filter cutoff (making that rhythmic sound in the background). The glidey/squelchy bass is the minimoog model D and the 4 voice poly is made up of the 2 ARP 2600's and 2 voices from the Macbeth M5 - osc 1 and 3 through filter 1 and oscillator 2 through filter 2. It makes for a rather unsurprisingly fat sound and the expressionist makes it really easy to set everything up (I just need some more long 1/4 cables)! The Acidlab Miami was the drum accompaniment. Anyways, hopefully I can record more soon."

Menuet in G Major - Arp 2600, Macbeth M5, Moog Minimoog, Acidlab Miami

"I got an Encore Expressionist for Christmas so I decided to put it to use (controlling the macbeth M5 and both ARP 2600s for a combined 4 voices and then the minimoog through midi. I decided to try it out with J.S. Bach's Menuet in G Major (so that is what you are hearing). The video is a quick run-through of my little studio, sorry for the shaky camera. I'll also upload an mp3 to my soundcloud at http://soundcloud.com/loganrice"

Details on the Pittsburgh Modular Fragments Generator

video posted here

Full details via Pittsburgh Modular

"The 'Fragments' are a set of pings, or short bursts of sound created by a trio of Twin-T filters. The Twin-T filter circuit was used by some classic analog drum machines to create percussion sounds. Realistic tom-toms, congas, and kick drums can all be made using this method. The Twin-T filters included in the Fragments Generator have been adapted and optimized for a specific purpose. The idea was to create an analogue method of generating sounds at the level of individual "grains" or "fragments" similar to a traditional digital Granular synthesizer. By approaching the process from another angle we have come up with an entirely new sub-genre of synthesis.

The sound produced by the basic Twin-T filter is quite close to the idealized grain, a decaying sine-like waveform that can easily be varied in amplitude, frequency, and position. Typically, the Twin-T filter produces a single sound up to a few times a second. What would happen if that occured a thousand or more times per second? The Fragments Generator creates a constant tone that consists of overlapping and interacting fragments which can be manipulated in a number of ways.

Amplitude
The amplitude of each fragment is set at its initiation. This is important as just creating a variable mix of "full strength" tones would not relize a wide enough scope of fragment-to-fragment variability.

Squidfanny - Trancegate Amstrad Glitch Synthesizer (Jan 2012)

YouTube Uploaded by squidfanny on Jan 2, 2012
squidfanny on eBay

"Trancegate version of the AMSTRAD CKX100 8-Bit Glitch Synthesizer.

This one has an integrated 8 Step Sequencer which can be used to Gate the sound and modulate the pitch with devious effect....

Loads of weird Glitch, Twisted tones, busted beats and a custom ROM containing a new set of beats and some very lo-fi tb-303 samples.

The Acid sounds have been placed in the 'Hidden' section of the ROM, which usually contains a few sounds which are only accessed in the demo tunes. A little creative re-wiring of the ROM allows the Acid sounds to be accessed with a bank of switches on the right panel. This allows the preset rhythms to act as a very lo-fi Acid synth..... Cool, eh?

The Step Sequencer opens up a whole new world of synthesis capabilities, especially when combined with the Glitch Mods and the new Acid sounds. Sequencer can be synced to the Rhythms by using the flashing 'downbeat' LED to reset the sequence. Can also be reset by keypress, for more complex performance.

Glitch section on the right side of the machine allows access to a world of weird twisted dark and sinister sonic forms. Check out previous video for a more detailed look at the full glitch capabilities.

Another beautiful metal paintjob on the keys, using a few different shades of metallic Blue, Green & Gold.
