Cyndustries DUAL SAWTOOTH ANIMATOR Modcan-A Format

"Brand New DUAL SAWTOOTH ANIMATOR Synthesizer Module in Modcan-A Series Format.

Turn the sound of one lone oscillator into seven!

(Your ear or an oscilloscope simply can't tell the difference between this module and a whole rack of seven VCOs tuned in unison!)

This amazing Bernie Hutchins circuit has been admired by Designers for years as a true electronic engineering marvel, (Of course here at Cyndustries we could not simply leave well enough alone, click here for Mark Barton's "Full Story" on what makes this one superior to previous designs).

It's optimized for a sawtooth input, but any single waveform with a slope going into this thing... comes out as a super fat three-hundred pound gorilla of waveforms!

There is even "Voltage Controlled FAT" (Imagine That!)

Many of us have spent years auditioning low pass filters on the quest for that super rich monster powerful sound, well... I believe you will find the Cynthia Sawtooth Animator to be the secret weapon that will push your sound over that crucial edge!

More than simply a chorus circuit, the Animator effects range from creamy lush sounds to totally wacked-out warbling, and as a bonus, there's a cloud of front panel outputs from the six internal LFOs that automatically track the frequency of the incoming waveform. (With two oscillators and two of these new Sawtooth Animator modules, you can spread the cloud of LFOs or bring them into focus together simply by controlling the frequencies of the two incoming oscillators).

The audio output waveforms vary from staircase waves to multiple mountain peaks and add sophistication and raw power to your music.

A slam-dunk "Must Have" Module for any synthesizer!

"It's absolutely clear that this is a world-class timbre fattener"

"Thank you Thank you Thank you!"

"What a Cool Module! I've tried a few "illegal" patches already--feeding it high frequency modulated triangle waves is pretty cool. Right now the thing sounds VERY much like an actual triangle! (the little metal one, not the waveform.) The other half is being used with Bruce's dual multimode to make creepy vocal noises!"

Cyndustries ZEROSCILLATOR Modcan-A Format

"Brand New MARK II ZEROSCILLATOR All-Analog Synthesizer Module in Modcan-A Series Format.

Special Modcan Format Introductory Sale - featuring the new slim design with Surface Mount ZO Engine Card!

Only Three Advance Units Available in this Special Sale, (Watch the many Zeroscillator Videos on YouTube)!

Dr. John Chowning first described FM Synthesis technique in 1967. Since that time, no analog quadrature oscillator with through-zero capability and dynamic linear FM control has been commercially available... until now!

We are proud to announce a major breakthrough in analog VCO design, the amazing Zeroscillator.

Liquid Smooth Analog Design

The Zeroscillator is a full-featured electronic-music-quality analog VCO capable of linear frequency modulation through zero hertz and into negative frequencies. This makes it capable of the FM Synthesis stuff, wild and crazy sounds simply not available from traditional VCOs, and timbres not available from digital FM synthesizers. Of course, Zeroscillators also make insane LFOs!

Traditional FM Synthesis oscillator implementations, such as the DX-7, are sine wave only. The Zeroscillator also makes available sawtooth, reverse saw, triangle, pulse (with PWM), and a special set of four quadrature outputs capable of unique bi-phase wave morphing, (more on that later).

Look Ma'... No Aliasing!

FM sounds take on their vibrant life when the amount of modulation is varied dynamically. In the analog world, this requires a special VCA to regulate the depth of frequency modulation, (often called the "modulation index"). Since this is required almost universally for Linear FM patches, the Zeroscillator has this VCA built-in. We decided however, to take this feature one extra step beyond and provide you with a four-quadrant multiplier instead of a traditional two-quadrant VCA to expand your modulation possibilities into the unexplored. The output of this multiplier is available at the panel, so you get a free ring-mod function and an interesting pick-off point for self-modulation patches called Mod Out.

In addition to it's precision 10-turn tuning knob, the Zeroscillator has 1V/octave plus attenuated exponential inputs and can behave just like the VCOs you're used to. You are not forced into any specific modality and are free to use all or any subset of its 7 different modulations:

1-Exponential FM
2-Linear Through-Zero FM
3-Linear FM Dynamic Depth Modulation
4-Bi-Phasic Waveform Morphing in Quadrature
5-Pulse Width Modulation
6-Variable Sync (from none to hard synch)
7-Time Reversal

The through-zero capability may be switched off which bars the oscillator from reaching into the negative frequency netherworld. If the linear modulation goes negative, the oscillator simply stops, restarting when the modulation returns to positive territory. This results in another class of sounds and is also very interesting and rhythmic when used at LFO rates.
Now back to the Quadrature Outputs with Bi-phase Wave Morphing. These four outputs present the oscillator waveform at four different relative phases separated by 90 degrees (0, 90, 180, 270). If the 0 and 90 degree outputs are presented to the left and right speakers respectively, a definite stereo spread effect is obtained, and when the oscillator beats with its modulator, harmonic characteristics shift back and forth across the stereo image. This effect is unique to the Zeroscillator.

At LFO rates, the quadrature outputs can be used to control quad panning or create circular illusions. Remember, when the Zeroscillator is heavily FM'ed, the waveforms fold back on themselves and create patterns that look nothing like the waveforms on the label.

This ain't your Daddy's oscillator!

via this auction

"For your consideration is this used Roland M-VS1 "Vintage Synth" rack mount synthesizer module. This particular example, serial number ZH71543 H, is in very excellent all original condition. The M-VS1 provides a virtual warehouse full of vintage instrument sounds. While of course providing waveforms from every Roland synthesizer that has enjoyed acclaim in the past, it also offers sounds from almost all other synthesizers of importance that have appeared on the world scene in recent decades. The M-VS1 features 255 carefully selected patches, 28 note polyphony, 8 rhythm sets including 808 sounds, "patch" and "performance" mode, expansive effects processor, and full MIDI implementation. "

Selecta, all in one

"A personal idea, this box have a lot of feature :
- Midi merger (2 input)
- Midi splitter (5 output)
- Midi router (from channel 16 to multiple channel)
- Hold/sustain of midi Note On event
- Arpeggiator (Juno 106 like [I'm guessing he meant Juno-60 as the 106 does not have one], with internal or external midi clock)
- Transposer
- Note octaver
- Poly/Mono simulation
- Midi Looper (with external control pedal, not done yet)"
