RIP Ryan Faubion

"In loving memory of Ryan Faubion

Ryan Faubion, the driving force behind the elektron-users forum, has passed away. He was an integral part of the world wide Elektron community, always helpful and responsive. The genuinely friendly atmosphere at elektron-users was to a large extent a direct result of his contributions. He will be deeply missed.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

If you want to leave your condoleances, there's an open thread at Elektron Users."

Another loss to the synth community. Condolences to Ryan Faubion's family and friends.

RIP Adam Yauch MCA

POLIVOKS VCF CLONE - DUAL POLIVOKS FILTER ANALOG STEREO FILTER

POLIVOKS VCF CLONE - DUAL POLIVOKS FILTER ANALOG STEREO FILTER from Sound Engineer on Vimeo.

"New audio demo available on - soundcloud.com/dualpolivoksfilter

POLIVOKS VCF CLONE - (DUAL POLIVOKS FILTER, ANALOG STEREO FILTER) - 2 ORIGINAL POLIVOKS VCF'S with 2 LFO GENERATORS, 2 NOISE GENERATORS, 2 CV INPUTS.

Two Polivoks VCF's in one little black box. Extremely aggressive sound, easy to overload, unstable at high Q values, self-oscillating.

The filters circuits is identical to the original design and uses the exact same schematic as the Polivoks synthesizer. The filter-box based on the new old stock soviet integrated circuits, not Western "equivalents".

Manual and voltage-controlled cutoff frequency for each filter, manual control of resonance for each filter. One noise generator for each filter and one LFO for each filter.Low and bandpass mode for each filter.

The signal path is: VCF1 AUDIO OUT to VCF2 AUDIO IN. I played with "Dual Polivoks Filter" LIVE like with the real analog synth in this video!"

"Vintage MXR Model 129 Pitch Shift Transposer Rackmount Effects w/rare Footswitch"

via the listing: "Vintage pitch shifter in excellent physical/functional condition with rare footswitch and cable. Hard to capture it, but the color of the faceplate is closer to a metallic blue/green that comes through as dark blue using my digital camera.

In realtime use, I found it very easy to set up 5ths and octaves by ear, and once set, with 4 presets I found no need change the settings, so the optional digital readout is not necessary. But they do occasionally show up on eBay and the connector on this unit (covered by a plastic cover) will allow this unit to accept that option."
