4ms VCA Matrix


Published on Mar 14, 2014 bigcitymusic·312 videos

"(2) Mutable Instruments Braids are routed into channels 1 and 2 of the 4ms VCA Matrix. The Cwejman RG-6 bi-polar saws serve as envelopes for channels 1 and 2 of the VCA Matrix. The random saws have been multed (via stackables) and used to modulate the Braids color and timber busses. 2 Oscillators from the Cwejman D-LFO are routed into channels 3 and 4 of the 4ms VCA Matrix. Random probability spreads are used to envelope channels 3 and 4 of the VCA Matrix. Random CV's from the RG-6 are fed through attenuators to balance envelope levels. Inputs 1-4 of the VCA Matrix are output through channels 3 and 4 of the VCA Matrix to monitor the simultaneous random offset spreads of the 4 voices. All 4 voices pitch are synced to a CV keyboard."

via the seller: "1970's serial 1838. Just finished a complete cleaning, and tuning and ready to record. I also just bought a new pro road case from Georgia Case Company, and the case is heavy duty with wheels. The Minimoog, has been modified in two ways which are real helpful with its sound: 1. down by the modulation wheel, there is an extra control oscillator, newly replaced, with sawtooth or sine wave control and a speed pot for those controls, and above that on the main control board, is the off/on switch that give this new oscillator control, or releases the control back to main oscillator #3. This really helps with vibrato effects allowing you to utilize all tree main oscillators for a fatter tone. 2. on the back is a midi control outlet. These modifications were done by computer and synthesizer whiz, Doug Slocum of Doug Slocum Synthetic Sound Labs, and originally done at the request of Chick Corea."

"For sale is a wonderful Minimoog model D. Serviced last week with all new bushings. Keys feel great and keeps it tune really well. Previous owner had a mod done on the mod wheels. They have been replaced with clear wheels with red led lights underneath. There is the usual wear to the wood sides with a few scratches here and there from many years if use."

"MFB-MICROZWERG MKII

* semi-modular analogue synthesizer
* dual oscillator, dual multimode-filter
* separate inputs/outputs for both filters
* 18 patch connections in signal chain
* two LFOs with „One Shot“-function
* CV/Gate and MIDI control

MICROZWERG not only bridges the gap between NANOZWERG and KRAFTZWERG. Due to its dual multimode-filter, it also offers an individual signal-path with specific sound potential. MICROZWERG’s numerous patch connections are simply inviting to be modulated by our flexible step-sequencer URZWERG or to interact with the multifunctional MEGAZWERG.

Individually operated and due to its dual oscillators and dual multimode-filter, MICROZWERG offers a lot more than typical analogue basses and lead sounds. Prepare yourself for some special timbres. The signal path and modulations are quickly reconfigured using a few patch chords with the result of an enormous boost in sonic variety. Combined with other members of MFB’s ZWERG synthesizer family or even a modular system, MICROZWERG’s possibilities grow further.

A brief overview to the sections of MICROZWERG:

Both oscillators offer triangle, saw tooth and rectangle waveform shapes. Where oscillator 1 also offers a needle impulse, VCO 2 has a built-in noise generator. VCO 2 can be detuned by plus minus one octave in reference to VCO 1. Both oscillators can also be synced, using a patch connection. In addition, the separate output of VCO 2 can be used to modulate the filter. Finally, ring modulation is possible in combination with MEGAZWERG, where the ring modulated output can be fed back into MICROZWERG.

The two state-variable multimode-filters run with 12dB slope per octave and offer lo-, hi- and bandpass-modes as well as notch-filtering. The filters are prewired in series to increase the slope when used in same operation mode. Here, the slope is variable because both cutoff-controls can be shifted against each other using the slope control. Combining a lo- and hipass-filter result in a variable band pass with adjustable bandwidth and individually controllable resonances. When preferred, a parallel routing is possible using a patch connection, too. In this case, MICROZWERG allows two separate shifted bandpass-filters, notch-filtering with variable bandwidth or a combination of bandpass-filter with followed lo- or hipass-filter. Resonance can reach up to self-oscillation for both filters. The cutoff-frequencies are manually controlled simultaneously or by envelopes. They can be shifted against each other using the space-control. Modulations by LFO or CV can address either filter 1 or both filters.

A simple patch from Key CV to the contour- or mod-input can achieve pitch-dependent cutoff-frequency control. Because both filters offer independent in- and outputs, MICROZWERG is also destined to be used as an effective dual-filter for external sound sources.

The ADSR envelope is internally prewired to control the filters’ cutoff-frequency. MEGAZWERG or any modular system can jump in via patch chords whenever a second envelope is needed.

The two LFO offers four waveform shapes each and a one-shot-function, where the selected waveform is played only once after a gate-trigger, thus imitating a simple envelope that might be used for pitch or VCA control. LFO 2 includes a sample & hold.

Internal modulation wirings offer LFO control over the filters’ cutoff as well as the oscillators’ pitch or VCO 2’s pulse width. LFO 2’s speed can be modulated by an external control voltage, allowing increasing or decreasing the speed by a factor of 30. Using this feature, MICROZWERG is capable of extreme slow and fast modulations.

The control signals of the envelope and both LFOs are available as CV-outputs and can therefore be used to control other functions of MICROZWERG as well as in other analogue synthesizers and modular systems.

The signal-path VCO 1/2-VCF 1/2-VCA as well as the common main modulations is internally prewired, so that MICROZWERG can be played immediately. All further routings are created using the patch jacks. These can be used or controlled by MICROZWERG itself or any compatible external device.

MICROZWERG can be controlled by MIDI from any compatible keyboard or DAW. Note commands are received as well as pitch-wheel (+/- 2 semitones) and modulation-wheel data, the latter controlling the filter’s cutoff frequency.

MFB’s MICROZWERG has the following dimensions: 190 x 130 x 50 mm."
