"The filterbank is a dual hp/bp/lp filter than can be used in series or parallel. It has incredible sync options for syncing the harmonics of the filters. It has incredibly warm tube type distortion at the input stage and a really great LFO for even further effect variables. It also has 2 sets of envelopes for further shaping the waves..."

"Brand New Buchla type QUAD LOW PASS GATE All-Analog Synthesizer Module in Synthesizers.com / Moog Format!
IN-STOCK! New Mark II Design
Standard Dotcom type Power Connector Included
Add an Organic Quality to Your Sound!
In the beginning there was Light, and the Vactrol opto-coupler was born. (Well, in the early 1960's anyway)!
In these days of quantum-level high-speed electronics it might be hard to imagine why we would actually want to use such sluggish CroMagnon components as the lowly Vactrol, (essentially a photocell and a light bulb)...
Harnessing these into an alchemy of music, fire, and light was the genius of Don Buchla who thought to exploit the quirks or so-called flaws of these components for their musical capabilities instead!
Nothing can match the buttery soft response this circuit evokes when commanded "to dance!" by an impatient pulse or envelope.
That unique flitty, percussive, Subotnick trademark type sound can be realized with these gems because they are based on the original Buchla 292 circuitry. There are four on this panel, each with a switch to determine if there will be additional Low Pass coloring to the signal as it passes.
Often a signal is best processed through two or more of the module's channels in series, and always a delight when used in concert with the Modcan 08A Processor's preamp and envelope follower on external inputs.
Below are four .wav file samples featuring the Cynthia/Buchla Lowpass Gate prototype, demonstrated by Peter Grenader using a single patch in which only the Gate's modes are changed. The attack time of the envelope is increased midway through each to give an idea of the full dynamic effect of this instrument.
"The Low Pass Gates are something that I had no idea what I was buying when I ordered them. Boy am I glad I did! That sound is fantastic, so organic - slippery, rubbery textures - very cool indeed!!"

Bleep Labs Bleep Drum Coming in February
via Bleep Labs
"The Dam Drum v2 is all gone but the Bleep Drum will be coming out around the beginning of February!
It will be available as a kit, feature it’s own sounds, have a noise mode, and, like the Dam Drum 2, have pads for expandability.
"As for the Blues Exploder we are also expected to ship it early February, if not sooner. Apologies to everyone who’s been waiting!Jon and I wanted to make sure that device was solid and had all the features he wanted before being released rather than just shipping out a half done noise-maker. We think the time spent on it has paid off.
As apology for the delay the band has personally signed each device."
E Theremin – Electro Theremin for iOS
Vintage Electro–Theremin, Onassis Martino style synth.
This app captures the magic of early classic slider controlled synthesisers such as the Ondes-Martenot (1928) Trautonium (1929) and Tannerin/electro-theremin (1950s)
The E Theremin has three oscillators that generate a rich fat analogue tone, with a choice of 4 waveforms (saw, square, triangle and sine) octave shift and amp control. The E Theremin can achieve portamento, vibrato and quarter-tones with precise control. 4 presets allow you to store your sounds and jump quickly between them during performance.– Ideal for professionals looking for an alternative to the keyboard controlled synth.
– Great for anyone interested in synthesizers, particularly early analogue.
In 1928 Maurice Martenot created one of the first electronic musical instruments, entitled; the Ondes-Martenot, the prerunner to the theremin, similar in sound but with a very different type of user interaction, an inspiring slider on a cord was used. Later in the 1950s Paul Tanner invented the Tannerin a.k.a. Electro Theremin. The Tannerin used the same slider controls as the Ondes-Martenot to control pitch. The Tannerin went on to play a large role in records such as The Beach Boys “Good Vibrations”. Summarized Features
– Three oscillators (osc2 unison)
– 4 waveforms
– 3 octave slide control
– Fat analogue sound
– Jump between 4 user presets
– Classic slider pitch control
– Retina GUI
Grab it before it goes up to regular price!"
