Akai VX600 Vintage Synth

via this auction

"The VX600 is a unique and compact analog synthesizer produced by the sampler-meisters at Akai. It's a six-voice synth with two analog VCOs per voice. This will give you some pretty thick and rich analog bass, pads, strings and so on. A very flexible Modulation Matrix allows you to route waveforms from each of the VCOs through the various edit functions. There is a lowpass resonant filter, a highpass filter, two LFOs, three envelope generators, two external sound inputs and more.

The VX600's patch memory stores over 100 patches, each of which can contain key group splits, MIDI info and voice allocation. Add classic analog performance modes such as unison, stacked mono and a new six-part multitimbral mode and you've got yourself some thick and full analog sounds! Its MIDI implementation allows for seamless integration into any MIDI studio. Additionally, a dedicated connector jack allows direct connection to the EVI1000 and EWI1000 wind synthesizers and a 13-pin DIN connector gives six individual voice outputs. Quite a powerful little beast!"

A Patch A Day, No. 27

Published on Jun 4, 2013 hamiltonulmer·28 videos

"This patch is fundamentally about attenuating clocks to produce different intervals, and using the same clocks to control the movement form one pitch to the next.

Here, we have the same basic idea - Wogglebug sending a clock into the Clock Divider. But we are using the clock divider in a very particular way, patching out of the various divisions, and attenuating either through the DPO's EXPO knobs, through the Dual Index, and through the Maths channels 2 and 3. These attenuated clocks switch between 0V and whatever voltage is necessary to produce an interval.

In other words, each oscillator is moving between two pitches according to their clock source of choice.

I have the Graphic Sequencer also being clocked by the Clock Divider, and that voltage going out to various modulation sources on the Dixie, the DPO, and ch 1 of the Maths (the fourth oscillator).

All in all, a delightful patch, and an idea I'd like to explore more in the future."

Bolsa Bass - Critter & Guitari

"Website: http://critterandguitari.com/bolsabass

The Critter & Guitari Bolsa Bass synthesizer features six modes of rich, elemental bass sound, a sequencer and full MIDI capabilities.

The six synthesis modes are:
Circle Ramp
Sawtooth Ramp
Analog Style
Filter Envelope
FM Pad
Bass Delay

The sequencer lets you quickly create bass lines with the touch of a button. You can even record and playback knob adjustments for things like filter sweeps and changes in delay time or tuning! With MIDI IN and OUT jacks you can synchronize your sequences with other devices. The Bolsa Bass also sends and receives note messages so you can use it as a sound module or simple controller.

The entire keyboard may be tuned over a 1-octave range by turning the knob second from right. Volume is controlled by the right-most knob. The function of the remaining two left knobs depend on what mode is selected. The synthesizer modes provide elemental monophonic bass sounds, great for all kinds of musical scenarios. From classic filter sweeps to simple and pure tones, lush FM, and even a stretchy tuned delay which makes great string-like drones.

Audulus 2.1 Released - JACK Support and 5 New Nodes

Audulus 2.1 from Taylor Holliday on Vimeo.

What's new in Audulus 2.1: JACK and 5 new nodes! Thanks to Jody Golick for the music!

- Support for JACK! JACK allows you to connect audio apps to each other any way you want! See http://www.crudebyte.com/jack-ios/ for more information.

- New Phasor Node (Synth -> Phasor). Requested by forum user whitemix.

- The Poly Pack, available in the Audulus Store. This consists of four new mono/poly conversion nodes (Utility category): MonoToStereo, StereoToMono, MonoToQuad, QuadToMono. Requested by forum user JDRaoul.

- Graphics optimizations.

Subatomic Software Updates "Audulus" for Mac and iPad to v2.1 –
Adds 5 new Nodes, JACK support on iPad

Subatomic Software has announced the release of Audulus 2.1 for iPad and Mac. This update to the modular music processing app adds support for JACK on iPad, as well as five new nodes for both iPad and Mac versions.

JACK for iOS is a free app that allows JACK-compatible apps such as Audulus to be connected in any way, with the only restriction being CPU power.

"JACK is a mature, powerful inter-app audio system," explains Audulus developer W. Taylor Holliday. "It's great to see it ported to iOS."

Audulus 2.1 introduces the Poly Pack, an In-App-Purchase upgrade consisting of four new nodes which facilitate stereo and quadraphonic processing of audio input. Audulus nodes can process multiple channels of audio.

"Previously, the only way to generate a polyphonic signal in Audulus was via the Keyboard node in Poly Mode," explains Holliday. "Now, you can do polyphonic processing of audio input. You can even use the QuadToMono node to apply separate processing chains to each voice of a synth."

"I'm not aware of another app on iOS that gives you this fine-grained control of multi-channel processing," adds Holliday.

Version 2.1 also adds a phasor node (not to be confused with the phaser effect), which outputs a phase angle suitable for driving custom oscillators.

Audulus development is user-driven, and these new features were requested by users on the Audulus forum.

Audulus for iPad is available on the App Store for $9.99, 30% off for the remainder of June to celebrate JACK support.

Audulus for Mac is available on the Mac App Store for $29.99

The Audulus Poly Pack In-App Purchase upgrade is priced at $4.99

A joygasmically ballztastic synthy blues shred jam on nine keyboards!

Published on Jun 4, 2013

"More music on umop.com/parallax.htm

The blues was not meant to evolve into this. It was not meant for a scrawny, ashen man-child idiotically kanoodling in his air-conditioned man-cave filled with rare, blinkety-blinking Japanese noiseboxes. But it's 2013 and this is just what it's come to!

Sorry I haven't uploaded any movies in a while. Or maybe I should say YOU'RE WELCOME if it's going to be this kind of thing, eh? I really would like a vacation from this person that I've become. Sometimes I wish I was more like a cool bass-player type dude with big arms & knows how to work on cars. Or maybe not even a musician at all... maybe just a ranch hand from Wyoming who knows fourteen different types of hay. And can bale the shit out of any of them.

Why am I still typing"
