Raul Penas Modular Wild

via Raul Pena (videos below):

"Hello All. This is Raul Pena.
Just wanted to announce a new business venture I have begun which may be of interest.
Its called Modular Wild. There are two parts to this new project. The first involves a new weekly Video Show featuring Eurorack Modules. The show was designed using feedback from my Raul's World of Synths Video tutorial series.

Five different type of segments to the show: PROFILE (a segment featuring a brief overview of a given module or topic), SOUNDS(a segment featuring video demonstration(with only text narration, for those who don't enjoy talkies), PATCH IT (an extended segment creating a complex patch using at least 6-12U of modules, lots of patch cables afoot, with narration), FEEDBACK(a segment based on questions and/or comments from viewers), and last but not least MATHS MINUTE(a segment dedicated to the Make Noise Maths which features a different patch from the manual done in under one Minute!). I spoke with Tony from Make Noise prior to completing a significant group of these videos to ensure no infringement occurs but did secure the Maths Minute title as a copyright.

The second part of my new venture is the business side. I will also be available for producing video demonstrations for manufacturers, private individuals,or anyone else who thinks they could utilize my video services.

Details on this available on my website raulsworldofsynths.com or modular wild.com. They are now one and the same site but each have separate Youtube channels. Any questions or comments please get in touch.

I also have released a new CD soundtrack for my new show as of yesterday. I will be using the proceeds from this cd to offset the cost of the upcoming productions, equipment,maintenance,etc.Basically also a nice way for those who wish to show their support for Raul's World of Synths and Modular Wild.

Here's the iTunes link.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/modular-wild-sounds-from-rauls/id577850941

Going forward I will continue to release Raul's World of Synths Videos (as long as I am able to do so) on thursdays, and one weekly episode of one of the five segments weekly (not one of each a week, maybe if I was doing it full time :), but the segments will rotate and demand will have an effect on which segments stay and which go, if any.

That should do it. Hope everyone finds some benefit to this. Thanks to all the wigglers here and everywhere else.

Super excited about this new project. Thanks.
All the best."

How to Get Square & Pulse Waves From the Korg Monotron

PICSYNTH aka Monotron Delay Mods has a new page up on how to get square and pulse waves out of the KORG Monotron.

"The sawtooth wave from the VCO-out connection can be converted to a pulse wave of any width. When the width is exactly 50% you get the distinctive hollow sound of the square wave. These waveforms allow you to create a LOT more sounds.

The idea behind this mod was to change the sawtooth into a pulse wave and then feed it into the AUX input jack. The main challenge was how to cut off the sawtooth wave connected internally in the Monotron so you could just hear the new pulse or square waves and not the sawtooth..."

New Analogue Solutions Telemark Synthesizer V2.0

Analogue Solutions Telemark Synthesizer V2.0 + Eurorack AS Spring Reverb Module

Published on Dec 2, 2012 by rezfilter

"SUB frequencies = headphones required...

Here's a first look at the Analogue Solutions Telemark V2.0 synthesizer. The new release features the addition of a SUB OSC / DIVIDER as well as a RING MOD. The inclusion of these two sound sculpting elements have a vast and powerful effect on the overall sound of the TM.

As usual, the Telemark is being sequenced via the Oberkorn MK3 analogue sequencer (black face). The AS CVQ02 Quantiser was also used between the Oberkorn and the Telemark for some of the more melodic sequences heard. Transposition was done via MIDI.

The AS Spring Reverb module also makes an appearance serving processing needs for the TM.

At video end, a live melody is played atop a sequenced (Oberkorn) TM synth line.

Enjoy.
