"A demo song of the Bit Beast synthesizer. All sounds (including drums) are made with the Bit Beast and recorded into Ableton Live. Some minor FX were added to some tracks (reverb, delay, EQ). More info on the Bit Beast here: http://www.joviansynth.com/bit-beast.php
The Bit Beast is not currently in production. The estimated cost is about $500-$600. Please send us an email if you would like to be notified when more information and availability is known - info@joviansynth.com"

Test your analog sound design skills: metal/wood tones
Published on Feb 10, 2013 Peter Grenader·14 videos
"Four sine VCOs.... no ring modulation, no frequency shifting. While incorporation of a Plan B M13 Dual Timbral Gate or other suitable LPG was important in building it's percussive timbre... how is it that it resembles a marimba without ring mod or frequency shifting? Enter your answers below! The video basically traces the patch."

Borrowing modulation from the Roland SPH-323 for the Korg MS20 filters controlled by Korg SQ10
Published on Feb 10, 2013 synthesizerman·19 videos
"The multi modulation section from the Roland SPH-323 is being voltage controlled from the Korg SQ10. The multi modulation from the Roland SPH-323 is controlling the sweep of the MS20 filters. The Korg SQ10 channel A is driving the VCO pitch, channel B is condoling the LFO on the Roland SPH-323. No audio is passed thru the SPH-323 phase shifter. The older LFO oscillators seems do be able to run slower than most modern LFO. Or maybe it is just me, I love the movement that the Roland multi modulation LFO section gives you."

"Extremely versatile analog synth with 6 voltage-controlled oscillators, MIDI, sampler in, on-board chorus (2 settings), 64 patch memory, ADSR VCA, 12dB/octave VCF, ADSR EG (VCF, VCA, VCA gate), arpeggiator, PWM, LFO (saw, square, triangle, random, can modulate VCO, VCA or VCF), splittable keyboard, unison mode, and lots of other goodies. This unit has been upgraded with walnut end caps, made by a local Brooklyn woodworker and synth enthusiast. They give the AX-60 the classy look it deserves. It's a great synth from the classic era of polyphonic VCO synths..."

Ambika MonoSweep
it will have up to 6 voicecards, but at the moment it only has one , a SVF one and I decided to record a tune in higher quality than youtube allows , if this is what one sounds like, really looking forward to getting the other 3 put in there
this is a modified fat sweeep patch with the 2 oscillators detuned +/- 7 semitones each and portamento added
The drums are a patch I downloaded off the interwebs and edited to jack up the hihats ( I love hihats :P !) and change the rhytms . its played on my Nord Micromodular
played live with a bit of reverb added from my mixer"

Modcan FMVDO Eurorack Module
"The FMVDO represents a new breed of sound generation for the modular environment. The primary design goal was to implement a variety of digital synthesis techniques and to combine them together in one 12HP wide module
The most significant wave-shaping feature of the FMVDO utilizes the technique referred to as Two-Operator FM, providing a wide variety of timbres from mellow bell like tones to complex distortion.
The inclusion of harmonically rich sample based wave tables extends the complexity of the FM effect comparable to multi-operator systems.
AM (Amplitude Modulation) is also available on-board as is standard Exponential FM using the Expo FM Jack
Conventional analogue VCOs are modulated with externally generated signals from LFOs and secondary VCOs, instead the FMVDO provides superior FM stability with internally generated, phase locked, sine table modulator.
The FM Index function controls the amplitude or depth of the modulation while the Ratio control tunes the modulator to an integer frequency value relative to the carrier frequency.
Phase locking the modulator with the carrier produces beat-free timbres that retain spectral relationships over the entire frequency range. The Ratio can also be switched to provide non-integer ratios for inharmonic periodic sounds.
The FMVDO includes standard VCO wave forms and adds several sample based wave tables. Pulse width modulation and hard sync are also supported.
Switch selectable quantized pitch tracking in semi-tone steps or non-quantized continuous frequency control with fine tune.
Firmware by DSP designer Eric Brombaugh."
Macro Acid
Macro Acid from maxeq on Vimeo.
"Extreme close up look at the Roland TB-303.
I love this little machine, it has a unique sound. The '303' was intended as a 'bass' machine but was not deemed successful by Roland so only 10-20k units were produced.
The 303s sound is affectionately referred to as 'acid' and it is the leading instrument in 'acid techno', a form of music that often focusses on one 'pattern' that evolves over the course of the track, from a low grumble all the way up to a distorted screech. This is achieved by the 'tweaking' of the 303 knobs.
'Macro Acid' let's us see the 303 up close, it's knobs, lights, markings and - in my machines case - all the wear and tear. For this I used a high quality Macros lens with my Canon 5D.
No video effects have been added. Everything you see ... is the 303 ... and a Kenton MIDI converter:)"
