Grove Audio GMS-294A VC Low Pass Filter 4 Pole Transistor Ladder Filter


via Grove Audio

"The GMS-294A VC Low Pass Filter is an accurate recreation of the Robert Moog-designed 4 pole transistor ladder filter. As much as possible, all original parts and matched pairs of 2n3392 transistors were used in the construction of the unit.

The module is implemented in a 1MU panel width and includes a complement of the original controls with the addition of a gain control on the CV in and a gain control for the audio input to the filter. An additional CV input is scaled for 1V/OCT. When the resonance control is turned up to near maximum, the filter will become a voltage controlled sine wave oscillator."

Grove Audio GMS777 16 Step Mini Sequencer on Indiegogo

via Grove Audio

"The GMS777 Voltage Sequencer is a 2x8 or 1x16 step sequencer which produces a CV output and gate output per channel. Each channel has a clock input and a separate reset input. Several step functions are programmable using a push button and LED for each step. Stop and skip can be programmed for each step.

There is a separate switchable quantizer for each channel. The output voltage range 0-2V, 0-5V, and 0-10V is selectable from the panel. The module will also support the "Q" bus modules and interface.

The unit will be available in MU, in MOTM and in EURORACK configurations all running about $350.00 range. Pre-orders for delivery in March can be made through an indiegogo crowd-funding project. This will offer a couple of options including discounts and other bling. Also the purchaser will have the option of selecting knob styles including the new custom-molded Davies 1900 knobs in ivory.

Pre-orders can be placed using this indiegogo campaign.

The Arpeggionome Pro is a professional MIDI controller designed specifically for iPad. With the Arpeggionome Pro, you design and perform intricate patterns of musical notes at incredible speeds and with precise control.

ARPEGGIONOME VS ARPEGGIONOME PRO
The Arpeggionome Pro is the professional version of its predecessor, the Arpeggionome. The Arpeggionome Pro features a redesigned interface, a robust MIDI implementation, parameter-change quantization, and much more.

For a detailed side-by-side comparison, please see www.alexandernaut.com/arpreggionome-vs-arpeggionomepro.

A ROCK-SOLID MIDI IMPLEMENTATION
The Arpeggionome Pro’s MIDI implementation is finely tuned to control external MIDI devices, digital audio workstations (such as Ableton Live, Logic, and Pro Tools), and other iOS MIDI Applications (such as GarageBand, Animoog, and DM1).

Compatible MIDI Connections:
• Virtual MIDI ports of other iOS MIDI applications
• ‘Core MIDI’ compatible hardware interfaces
• MIDI over WiFi
• MIDI over Bluetooth

MIDI Output Features Include:
• Send MIDI on any of 16 channels
• Select between four Note Gate Modes (Manual, Mono, Legato, and Legato+)
• Control Note Velocity with Knob or Accelerometer

DESIGN AN ARPEGGIO FROM SCRATCH...
The Performance Matrix is the Arpeggionome Pro’s main interface component.
• Touch any Control Point in the Performance Matrix to trigger the notes in the pattern.
• Move your finger left and right to set the reference-note of the pattern.
• Move your finger up and down to set the pattern’s rate
• Control up to 240 notes per second, nearly 15,000 notes per minute.

Six button-matrices and eight touch-knobs are used to design the Arpeggionome Pro’s pattern.
• Key - sets the musical key
• Scale - sets the musical scale
• Notes - sets the number of unique notes
• Step Distance - sets the distance between each note
• Notes Style - sets how the pattern moves between notes
• Alignment - sets how the pattern is justified from the reference-note
• Octave Range - sets the starting and ending octaves of the pattern
• Octave Style - sets how the pattern moves between octaves
• Rates - set the pattern’s rate to 50% or 25%.
• Octave Offset - shift the pattern’s starting octave
• Note Offset - shifts the pattern’s starting note
• Velocity - sets MIDI Note Velocity for each note triggered
• Gate - changes the length of each note triggered
• Tempo - sets the global tempo

The button-matrices and touch-knobs are also designed for performance.
• Button-matrices set on touch-down events
• Group 1 Touch-Knobs (Key, Scale, Rates, Octave, and Note) set on touch-up events
• Group 2 Touch-Knobs (Velocity, Gate, and Tempo) continuously set

... OR USE A PRESET
The Arpeggionome Pro includes a Pattern Library with a wide selection of presets. You can also save your own patterns to the Pattern Library. Additionally, eight pattern-buttons and two arrow-buttons provide quick access to the Pattern Library, enabling you to change and save patterns while performing.

OTHER FEATURES
• A simple built-in synthesizer
• Beautiful and informative visual feedback
