Jomox xBase 09 demo

Published on Sep 23, 2012 by halfofjackfield

"This is a basic operational demo of the xBase 09. It doesn't go in to the many advanced features, however it does give an idea of its overall sound and tweak-ability.

Its a great sounding 909 type drum sequencer, loaded with many 8 bit sounds that can run along side the purely analogue bass and snare drum. It features lfos and real time parameter recording for ultimate flexibility. Classic!"

SynclavierX Editor to Become Stand Alone Virtual Synclavier

The SynclavierX editor may become a stand alone synth.

Via Synclavier.com:

"But here is where I need your help - all of you - former N.E.D. customers, employees and well-wishers alike. I have to turn SynclavierX into a saleable product that has a larger potential customer base than just the original Synclavier® users. I hope to accomplish that expanding SynclavierX to actually recreate the sounds of the original Synclavier® system. This can be done by digitally modeling the original FM and Poly Sampling voice cards under the control of the SynclavierX Application. I have everything I need to do that except for possibly the time and the patience..."

LELL DD DRIVE DISTORTION

mechanical animals

"LELL were the first normal stompboxes made in Russia. They had normal guitar jacks and even a 9-volt socket - same format as BOSS pedals. The footswitch pad reveals a battery cavity underneath.
The company still exists! It's website for some unknown reason claims the company was established in 1992. But look at the pictures - we've got a proof it was active in the 80's. The headquaters is located in Moscow, on the Lower Krasnoselskaja street.

The Drive/Distortion features two circuits in one pedal and the mini toggle switches between them. Two upper knobs are overdrive and distortion gains and the lower row of master controls affect both effects. The overdrive section is more useable because the noise this thing produces is terrible and the distortion amplifies it too much. But I like the sound of the overdrive: it's not brutal and it aplies a very strong EQ to the signal. It cuts everything except for middles in a narrow 800-10kHz range (no' it's not from the manual, it's what I hear). The "filter" knob shifts the frequency peak around 1-5 kHz.

All the rest of the knobs affect different gain/volume stages. I use this pedal mainly with vocals - the EQ it produces is very telephone-like and it makes the vocals cut through."

New Hexinverter vcNOIZ module Audio Demo

"I decided it would be a grand idea to demonstrate the vcNOIZ module I am currently designing, so I patched up some sounds with it in my modular synthesizer and hit record. This is an unedited clip. A touch of delay was added, otherwise, it's straight out of the modular!

I am using a keyboard for voltage control of the oscillators and noise generator.

The vcNOIZ circuit is a discrete logic-based voltage-controllable noise generator that has a very unique, almost retro sound. The pitch is able to be controlled by LFOs and other voltage sources, as you can hear in this demo. It has two sub-octave outputs as well as clock output and input, making it a great source of random gates as well. It can also serve as a voltage controllable clock for your system.

Like I said, it is entirely discrete logic based. THERE ARE NO MICROCONTROLLERS USED IN THIS DESIGN, so, you don't have any annoying aliasing on the CV response.

I will have PCBs available for sale so you can build one, too. I will likely also be selling modules at some point soon.

Buchla 230e - Triple Envelope Tracker / Preamplifier

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

via this auction

"We took the old 230 envelope detector, changed its name to better identify its function, improved its performance a bit, added a microphone preamplifier for use with live signals, and of course added capability for storing and retrieving presets.

The 230e’s envelope trackers have adjustable gains and variable response times. Their output levels are 10 volts full scale, with LED’s indicating intermediate values. Pulse outputs are triple state, responding to signal level changes as well as steady states, and may be coupled so as to respond to transient information even in the presence of background activity. Like pulling drum triggers from a mix. LED’s indicate pulse activity.

Wrapping up the 230e are three preamps, each with variable gain and dual input connectors (TRS or XLR). Balanced or unbalanced microphones or instruments can be accommodated; phantom power may be engaged if needed.

The preamplifier is provided with input and output connections to facilitate its use as a mixer; outputs are normalized to the envelope trackers’ inputs, enabling independent use of the devices.

The microphone gains are not stored as part of a preset. All other settings can be stored with the aid of a 206e or a 225e preset manager."

Make Noise Format Jumbler

via this auction

"As good as new - from non-smoker home studio - in a perfect optical and technical condition.

Overview:
The Format Jumbler is an adaptor module which converts between 3,5mm (1/8")jacks, 6.3mm (1/4") jacks and banana plugs. Additionally you can use the module as a multiples.

Technical details:
Besides converting between the three connector formats available the Format Jumbler can link four of his five channels in different ways. So you can use it as a flexible signal splitter/multiples. Channel five is not normalised and features an additional grounding banana jack instead of the second 3.5mm socket.

Inputs and outputs:
Channels 1-4: 1x banana jack, 2x 3.5mm (1/8") jack, 1x 6.3mm (1/4") jack Channel 5: 1x banana jack (signal), 1x banana jack (ground), 1x 3.5mm (1/8") jack, 1x 6.3mm (1/4") jack
