The DS-8 was originally designed by Coron in the 80′s to be mounted on to a drum to in order to produce synth percussion sounds. Similar to the DS-7, which contained a VCO +VCA chain. The LFO modulated the VCO and the decay envelope is triggered by a piezz0 cell. The Decay Pot is really a release and the VCA is controlled by the LFO. The DS-8 added a colored noise generator with a balance pot, which allows more hi-hat and snare "sounds" to be achieved. This PCB is MADE IN THE USA and up to Synthrotek's fine specs. PC Board measures 5 & 5/8ths X 2 & 5/8ths inches. The Pots can be through-hole mounted, for an easy build. Kit includes everything you need to build this radical drum synth. Pop it in the case of your choice and you are ready to rip!"

"Most famouly used by E.L.O (Electric Light Orchestra), Italy's "SLM Spectrum" analog string synth.

This one has been serviced by Adventures in Analog in SW Washinton State and has been custom modified as a purely string synth with vintage looking wood panels.

Great alternative to the ARP SE-1 / Solina / String ensemble. Same great analog string synth sound, for a fraction of the price

Very little info on this synth and the company is available online. From what I understand it was made by the same company the Welson String Synth.

Obviously VERY RARE and sounds SUPER COOL!

Individual controls are:
Cello On/Off
Violin On/Off
Cello Volume
Violin Volume
Sustain & Decay Envelope
Stereo and Mono Outputs"

Corsynth C102 VC LFO - New waveforms using self-modulation technique

YouTube Published on May 2, 2012 by Corsynth

Corsynth C102 Demo 2 : New waveforms using self-modulation technique.

This video shows how to get new waveforms from the C102 VC LFO using self-modulation technique.

Corsynth is a company from the Northwest of Spain dedicated to manufacture modules for analogue modular synthesizers in Moog format ( MU )

The C102 VC LFO is a voltage controlled low frequency oscillator with five waveforms available simultaneously.

With three frequency ranges ( L, M, H ) the VC LFO can oscillate from 7 minutes per cycle up to 800 Hz. Using the FM MOD input this range can be extended from 12 minutes per cycle up to 1,3 KHz. With this wide frequency range, the LFO can be used to produce really slow and subtle modulations and audio frequency modulation (FM sounds).

Another important feature is that the oscillation frequency can be voltage controlled using the FM input. You can modulate the frequency with an envelope, other LFO , sequencer etc. Using the FM input, it's also possible to create new waveforms like hyperbolic sine wave, hyperbolic cosine wave and more. Just connect one of the VC-LFO outputs to its own FM input and turn up the FM level potentiometer.

Also the C102 VC LFO has a Sync / Reset input. Every time a trigger signal is detected, the LFO will restart the waveform to the beginning of its cycle.

"In April 2012, the I Dream of Wires team met with legendary Detroit techno producer Carl Craig, to discuss his electronic music influences and production experiences, including his recent interest in eurorack modular synthesis. Craig's experiments in modular synthesis are best heard on 2010's "Modular Pursuits" 12-inch, released under his No Boundaries alias.

I DREAM OF WIRES is a forthcoming documentary film about the history and resurgence of modular synthesizers. The film is currently in production. This is the 4th in a series of extended interviews, which will be produced and released in various formats throughout the production, and following the release, of the film. I DREAM OF WIRES extended interview segments are sponsored by MATRIXSYNTH (m.matrixsynth.com).

Catch I DREAM OF WIRES' showcase at Mutek Montreal 2012: Saturday June 2 @ Satosphere, with live performances, all incorporating modular synthesizers, by Sealey/Greenspan/Lanza (Orphx/Junior Boys), Keith Fullerton Whitman (Kranky/Editions Mego), Solvent (Ghostly International/Suction Records), Clark (Warp Records), and Container (Spectrum Spools).

En avril 2012, l’équipe de I DREAM OF WIRES a fait escale au studio du légendaire producteur de Détroit Carl Graig, pour une longue discussion sur ses influences musicales, ses expériences en tant que producteur, et notamment sur son intérêt récent pour les synthétiseurs modulaires Eurorack. On peut retrouver ses expérimentations sur le maxi “Modular Pursuits” paru en 2010, sous son alias No Boundaries.
