Magellan, Animoog, Addictive Synth, Alchemy - iPad synths

YouTube Published on Sep 6, 2012 by adimsimion

"I have not yet accommodated after 3 months (I barely used it the iPad for music, most of the time only for business - during this time), with this style of making music on iPad :) So, excuse some nonsense hand movement!
Also, when I'm trying to play several synths (more than 3 at same time), pops and glitches appear (I have iPad 2 16 Gb) because of the processor, but I think that the iPad will become in future a powerful tool for musicians.
I am already thinking to use it in my next concert or albums!
Synths that I used in video: Magellan, Animoog, Addictive Synth, Alchemy.

Kraftzwerg Speak Part 2 - Pinging Filter

YouTube Published on Sep 5, 2012 by chisel316

"In the second part of this series, I examine the Kraftzwerg's self-oscillating filter. A random sequence of frequencies is sent to the filter with the emphasis turned up to the point of self-oscillation. The filter is "pinged" from the envelope generator and modulated by dual LFOs. External delay and reverb were added in Ableton Live. Hope you enjoy it!

Pics of the inside below.

"Up for auction is a very rare M&A Electronic Percussion Synthesizer K2. Made in England in 1982 . It was part of an electronic drum set. This module is comparable with a Simmons SDS-8 Drums, but this module has 8 VCO's over 8 different channels, which can be controlled by manual mode or preset mode. Onboard presets are: 1.B-Drum: 2.Snare: 3.Hi-hat: 4.Cym-1: 5.Tom-1: 6.Tom-2: 7.Cym-2: 8.Tom-3. The manual mode has a Pulse, Trigger led, Decay (which also works on the presets), Pad Sens, VCO Sweep, VCO Pitch, Noise, (can be balanced between VCO and Noise ) Noise filter and a Click. Every channel can be balanced and has an independent volume control and a direct output. Speed can also controlled from slow to very fast, manual mode as well preset mode. Also onboard are mix outputs to pan stereo with level, bass and treble control. There is a Micro Sequencer with different patterns. It is not really a sequencer but it has more a demo function. Unfortunately the switch is broken, but can be fixed easily. Every channel can be controlled by an Aux Trigger signal. If you like Kraftwerk you will like this machine (used on the Kraftwerk album Trance Europe Express) and if you tune all channels together by taking off the back panel (power turned off )and adjusting the trim pot’s you can create real heavy monster basses and sounds!"

Rhythm Studio Update 1.08 – TB-3 Mk. II In the Works

via Rhythm Studio

"We are putting the finishing touches on a greatly improved TB-3 synth.

We rebuilt the TB-3 from scratch starting from the original synth schematics and circuit diagrams. We created hundreds of samples of the original TB-303 hardware along with more samples from a modified version of the x0xb0x so that we could study every nuance and characteristic of the true sound.

It starts with the oscillator signal which at first seem like a very standard saw and square wave, but while traveling down the circuitry, get transformed into very frequency dependent shapes. From there the signal enters the filter which is special resonant 4-pole design with an 18dB frequency response.

The most difficult part was calibrating the complex interactions of knob controls. For example, on accented notes, high resonance values actually soften the filter envelope while accent affects both overall amplitude and cutoff frequency. Just subtle difference in knob positions can dramatically change the sound.

The TB-3 mk. II retains the original synth code, and we have added a simple switch to change the modeling engine. This provides you the choice of which version fits your particular song.

Please note that the new TB-3 mk. II is very processor heavy and may affect performance on older devices such as the iPhone 3G and that generation. Newer devices have no problem running it. In these cases, we recommend that you use only 1 instance of the TB-3 mk. II or use the original emulation to keep performance of the app at a maximum."
