Free PPG Wave 2.2 Sample Pack & Urban Cookbook Vol 1. by Goldbaby

via Goldbaby

"PPG Wave 2.2 Free - Synth sounds: This pack contains 3 programs sampled through analog hardware and then mapped to Kontakt 4 & 5 plus Logic's EXS-24." You'll find it and more free packs on Goldbaby's Free Stuff section.

You'll find the Urban Cookbook here (samples online).
"Want to cook up some delicious beats... well then you probably need my cookbook. The ingredients are full of saturated fat, MSG, a heap of sugar and are not suitable for a low cholesterol diet. The recipes are perfect for these dishes: Hip Hop, Dub Step, Drum & Bass, Breaks, Grime, Dance Hall, Electro... Although chefs making other dishes like: IDM, House and Techno will appreciate the varied high quality ingredients. Punchy Kicks, Solid Snares, Hi Hats, Toms, Percussion, Claps, Cymbals, Layering tools, FX, Vinyl Hits, Chord Hits, Bass tools and Rex Loops... just over 1 GB of the freshest ingredients.

With patches for Maschine & Mikro, Battery 3, Kontakt 4, Geist and Logic's EXS-24.

You will need the full version of Kontakt 4 or 5 to use the Kontakt patches. The free player will only load them in demo mode."

TouchOSC layout dedicated for FL Studio´s Step Sequencer

via J.MARTINS:
"Designing a TouchOSC layout for each FL Studio project is a bit boring. So I come with the idea of having a tool to sync some aspects from an FL Studio project with a TouchOSC layout. The most important aspect I got in my mind is the Channel names from FL Studio's Step Sequencer because the Step Sequencer from FL Studio is a powerful tool that´s almost responsible for all the unique workflow of this DAW

This layout is for better handling automation via FL Studio´s Step Sequencer (When Muting/Unmuting Channels). It comes with a feature that shows the Instrument Channel names from FL Studio (up to 12 Channels plus up to 4 characters from each Channel's name) in your TouchOSC layout almost in real time. That helps a lot with the workflow of creating music in FL Studio plus sequencing it with an iPad.

Eardril Morphun

via Eardrill where you'll find addition pics and info.
You'll find a couple of videos in this post below.

"The Morphun is a fun way to reshape control voltages. At least it started out that way. Somewhere along the way it grew into a mini sequencer. The goal behind the morphing function is to make cv processing playable, and fun in the process.

Morphun has four main modes:
Morph The mode I started with is the morph mode. As a historical reference, Morph mode is sort of like the Tracking Generator found on an Oberheim Xpander, and sort of like the breakpoint generator on the 256e/257e. In this mode, a control voltage coming into the morph jack scans across the values on the sliders, interpolating between slider values as it goes. This lets you sculpt / reshape a control voltage into many curious shapes.

The Morph input range of 0-10 v. is scaled across however many stages of the Morphun are enabled, so the breakpoints are evenly spaced across the 0-10 v. range. I tend to think of it as a table with fixed X positions (based on number of enabled stages), variable Y positions, and the morph interpolating across it. If the Morphun is set for only two positions, the two sliders are like the knobs on either side of the 256e display, setting scale / inversion. If the Morphun length is set for three positions, it's like a 256e section with a breakpoint fixed in the middle of the X range.

Snap Then I added snap mode, which snaps between the values on the sliders. A full-scale ramp at the morph input will act as a sort of sequencer, stepping through the eight values on the slider. For example, if you drive the Morphun from an LFO with an ascending sawtooth wave, the sliders will be output in order, if from a descending saw the sliders will be output in reverse order. If you drive it with a Source of Uncertainty Quantized Random section set to 8 steps, the Morphun will randomly select among the eight sliders to output.

Clock I figured "in for a penny, in for a pound" so I added a strobe and clock mode. Clock mode is more or less a normal sequencer. Pulses into the clock input select the next stage, and reset starts at one again.

Strobe Strobe mode is sort of a cross between morph and clock, the value at the morph input is sampled every clock, then the interpolated value is looked up on the sliders.

The sliders have LEDs in the handles to let you see where you are. With the sliders set like this, the output is the same as the input.

The number of stages can be set in a similar way as is done on the Source Selector.

This is my first double-height ModuleModule module."

"There may be other Memorymoogs on ebay But I guarantee you this is the only one that preformed live at the Hollywood Bowl with the Doobie Brothers!!...

This Memorymoog is owned is owned by Patrick Simmons of the Doobie Brothers he purchased it in 1983. It was used on his solo tours and again when the Doobies preformed 1987! at that time it was played by Cornelius Bumpas for the reunion tour which began with a show at the Hollywood Bowl and continued for several more shows to raise money for various charities. It was also used in the studio on a few recording sessions and for a short time on gigs when the Doobies toured in the early 90s! Soon digital synthesizers took over and it has been in secure dry storage ever since..."

Moon Modular 565 V3 Quad Quantizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via NOISEBUG Reverb

"The module format follows industry standard (synthesizers.com/Moog/Curetronic/Mos-Lab etc.)

Modules work with supply voltages of -12...-15 Volts/+12...+15 Volts

Two power connectors are on-board (synthesizers.com/Club of the Knobs),
Threshold voltage of the trigger inputs is +1 Volt.

The modules are ready to be used: insert the module, connect the power plug,
attach with a couple of screws and the fun starts...

The M565 v3 QUAD QUANTIZER features four independent quantizer circuits.

The module quantizes variable control voltages into semitone intervals (1/12 volt) over an input voltage range –10.58 to +10.58 volts, in other words more than 2 x 10 octaves (128+128 semitones).

Gate pulses fed into the "Gate In"-jack trigger the quantizer; in "low" state no quantization occurs (useful to sync the quantization process precisely to a sequencer-clock out).

An "open" gate input is recognized by the module, it quantizes, i. e. if no gate jacks are patched. The four gate-ins are passed through, one plugged IN 1 feeds IN 2 to IN 4 as well. The gate outputs supply a pulse, whenever the (quantized) output voltage changes. The LEDs display exactly this pulse. The most recent quantized value remains preserved until the next quantization will occur.

Two adapters are on-board to connect one or two M 565 D Quantizer Controller modules. The M 565 v3 does support the connection of M 565 E modules, too.

An M 565 v1 or M 565 v2 Quad Quantizer Module can be updated to v3, to allow connection to M 565 D controllers and the M 567 programmer module."
