Colangelo Ascension Synthesizer - Virtual Analog Hardware Synthesizer

Published on Dec 8, 2013 Gtechture·43 videos

"Here is a synthesizer I designed called the Colangelo Ascension. So far it is in an research and development phase and may never go into production. It is a virtual analog synthesizer with an analog post processing section featuring an analog filter, and a tube drive circuit. It features a powerful 8-track sequencer that can be used to sequence notes or parameters. In multi mode sequences can be layered. If you have any questions or would like to contribute, please email me at giancolangelo@gmail.com

I am currently working on other projects as well and figuring out how to get them realized."

Note Gtechture also announced the FMDCO DCO based FM synthesizer posted here.

Oskar Sala's Mixtur-Trautonium at the Musikinstrumenten-Museum

More pics and the full write-up at the Nervous Squirrel

"During a visit to Berlin for the Worldtronics 2013 festival, I popped in to the Museum of Musical Instruments for a look around. They have an awesome collection of acoustic instruments, musical machines, musical walking sticks, microtonal pianos, Hammond organs, a "serpent", a VCS3 with sequencer and a violin in the shape of amoeba. I'd previously read about the Trautonium, and was aware of it being "something like an Ondes Martenot", but the one at the museum invited a much closer investigation..."

Pulses by Todd Barton

"A little exploration with the Buchla 140 Pulse Generator driving a lot of Buchla 100 modules, a 259c and an Easel. Left channel is 100 stuff and 259c, Right channel is Easel bass. Center panning is 100 stuff."

Voltergeist 5U Dotcom Format Make Noise Maths MKII Shipping

via Vince Mecanikill on Facebook

"I am finishing building the last Maths module today and they will be shipping out to everyone tomorrow on Monday. Sorry for the delay on them but I am sure you will be happy with them! I decided to move a few of the pots to space them out a little better on the first run and the second run also as you can see in the picture. The pre order for the second run will be up this week on Voltergeist.org so anyone that missed out on the first round now is your chance to get one of these beast for your Dotcom system.

The panels are here and the boards are on their way. We are doing 5 of these to start with more at a later date. Please use the link at the bottom of this post for the module info with the patchbooks showing you all the insane shit you can do with this module. I do not have anything else in my system as versatile as this and it truly is a Swiss Army knife for your system with more features than you can imagine. Time to put some spicy chocolate in your MU and yes the knobs are big and have dots so there is plenty of ham room.
The Positronic Transient Gate is an extremely versatile, unique transient generator. Unlike traditional slew and envelope generators, the PTG's transients are derived purely from Vactrol behavior. Rather than using capacitor integrators, the PTG uses current control to exploit all the wonder that Vactrols have to offer. In fact, not a single capacitor exists in the signal path.

The layout is very open ended, providing the flexibility to perform a vast number of unique transient functions never before conceived until now. The PTG is a multifunctional beast that is sure to please!

Key Features and Functions:

Bipolar Vactrol Transient Generation
Vactrol VCAs
Envelope Follower
Signal Boosting/Overdrive/Distortion
Wide Range/Response
Over 40 Unique Documented Patches
Dual

"This unit was recently serviced at The Analog Lab in NYC, where they cleaned it up on the inside and replaced the battery. All Functions perfectly and its in good cosmetic condition considering its age. This makes a great companion to any synth with CV/Gate inputs and outputs. It receives CV&Gate information as you play on your keyboard, stores it in 4 separate banks and can then play them back in succession or loops, great for improvising melodies. It can be synced with other drum machines or send out its own a sync signal..."
