New Eurorack Module Animodule Quad Comparator

Published on Mar 17, 2014 Flux302 of Fluxwithit.com·165 videos

"The Quad Comparator is a Logic Module for Eurorack synthesizers.
It's a simple quad comparator based around the LM339.
It will take your Voltages and turn them into Logic On.

When your signal is higher than the threshold the Gate goes high and the NOT Gate goes low.
When your signal is lower than the threshold the NOT gate goes high and the Gate goes low.

You can set the threshold anywhere from about -10V to +10V.

Input 1 is buffered then normalled to JackSwitches 2-4. So you could send an LFO in to Input 1, set different thresholds for all the inputs and have all the gates/NOT Gates fire at different points from the same LFO.

Width = 8HP , Depth = 29mm"

Analog Legacy - emulating vintage synthesizers in Reaktor

Published on Mar 17, 2014 Steelberry·41 videos

"Message from the builder:

As Reaktor programmer I have been developing synthesizer ensembles with a vintage touch for many years. After a decade locked into the labs I've now managed to finalize a new isomorphic algorithm called Analog Legacy. It's a break away from the perfect generated sounds produced by standard software synths and I'm convinced it will change the world of emulation analog synthesizers.
Just before the release of the ensemble that was the result of a decade of development - then the dominant of software instruments, NI Corporation, releases the Monark. Users were raving about the detail of emulation and character of the instrument. Is it now possible for an independent developer to release an analog emulation of the Minimoog based on the Reaktor platform without being accused of theft?
An ensemble using the Analog Legacy technology has been uploaded to the Reaktor User Library. Will this this ensemble be purged by the Master Control or will it escape through the portal?"

Minimojo - Minimoog emulation built in Reaktor

Published on Mar 17, 2014

"Minimojo is an emulation of the Minimoog built in Reaktor, available for all registered product owners in the NI Reaktor User Library. http://www.native-instruments.com/en/...

The Minimojo is not in any way a copy of MONARK. The builder did not have access to or ever used MONARK during the making of Minimojo. Instead, the old ensemble Minimood made by NI in 1999, which has then been modified by several users, has been used as the starting point. The basic structure is be recognizable from that early ensemble.
As the Minimoog is the most emulated synthesizer the world probably don't need yet another one. Minimojo should first of all be seen as a proof of concept; how to emulate the should of vintage synthesizers using the Reaktor environment.

The technology developed for this is called Analog Legacy. Analog Legacy is the theory of modulating all functions in a synthesizer at all frequencies to emulate the sound of vintage synthesizers. The key is to find the right balance of the modulation depth for each frequency. Minimojo is the first attempt to use this theory in practice."

Hot Since 82 pays a visit to Dave Smith Instruments [New Synth in the Works]

Published on Mar 11, 2014 Beatport·184 videos

"Dave Smith is one of the world's most renowned makers of analog synthesizers and drum machines. House producer/DJ Hot Since 82 (aka Daley Padley) works straight-up inside the box. On a recent Hot Since 82 stop through San Francisco, we got the two together for a chat."

Update: new synth mentioned after the Prophet 12 Desktop mentioned at 3:42.

New Boom 808 from Pulse Code for iPad

Boom 808 from Pulse Code, Demo and Tutorial for iPad

Published on Mar 16, 2014 thesoundtestroom·240 videos

iTunes: BOOM 808! - Pulse Code, Inc.

"Boom 808 is a simulation of the iconic Roland TR808 and a very good one too."

"Boom 808 integrates one of the most popular drum machines of the 80’s into the modern mobile producers workflow.

With Boom 808, getting the classic 808 drum sounds into your music has never been easier. Audiobus compatibility, background audio, and audio export options allow Boom 808 to fit into your music without slowing you down.

Personalize your beats with the sound of the 808!

Features:
• Step sequencer
• High fidelity audio
• CoreMIDI
• Audiobus and background audio modes
• Record and export live performance to Soundcloud, Audio Copy, email and iTunes file sharing
• Compressor
• Swing
• Overdrive

Boom 808 provides the superb audio quality found in our other Pulse Code apps. Along with the classic drum sounds, Boom 808 has a built in compressor that is tuned to add punch to your drum beats. Soft saturation overdrive rounds out the signal chain adding warm crunch to your beats.

Using Boom 808 with Audiobus allows you to add any number of Audiobus compatible effects as well as record your beats into the app of your choice. Writing beats is easy by using the internal step sequencer or trigger the drums with CoreMIDI. Control your groove with two swing variations.

QUALITY HEADPHONES / MONITORS RECOMMENDED"

Beauty In The Beast - Memorymoog

"The Memorymoog, a beautiful, true vintage polysynth, is often only thought of as a monster, sound-wise. I thought I could try to highlight the gentler side of this regal instrument."

New LushOne Echo Module

via Lushprojects.com where you'll find some audio demos.

"The LushOne Echo module provides highly flexible delay and echo effects. All key parameters can be set manually or manipulated using a control voltage. With the LushOne echo you can simulate room echoes or create space-age effects. The LushOne Echo also contains an envelope generator which produces a control voltage based on the amplitude of the input signal.

The LushOne Echo kit continues the design principles of the LushOne base. A single board design is used to keep costs low. The LushOne echo uses the popular PT2399 digital delay chip with supporting analogue circuits. The PT2399 is a really fun chip. At long delays it gets noisy and creates a lo-fi roughness to the sound. At medium and short delays it has a nice, natural quality. The ability to vary the delay on-the-fly and with a control voltage allows it to create space-age swoops and zaps as well as more normal static delay effects.

The LushOne Echo can be added to any level of the LushOne system. It can be used with just the LushOne Base or integrated in to a bigger system. The audio sample below shows how even with just the LushOne Base and LushOne Echo you can create some amazing sounds.

The LushOne Echo provides:
Echo effect
Add echo effects to any input signal
Adjustable input sensitivity level
Adjustable level of original input in the output
Adjustable level of echo in the output with voltage control
Adjustable level of feedback in the echo circuit with voltage control
Adjustable delay with voltage control
Exponential response on delay control for ease of use
Internal or external feedback switch which allows extra processing functions to be inserted in the feedback loop using the Send/Return connections
Power-on protection circuit so that the PT2399 chip can be run at its shortest possible delay without damage
Envelope generator
Create control voltage based on amplitude of input signal
Allows effects to respond to volume level of a sound
Single board design including all controls and connectors (except power-in) providing straightforward construction and neat presentation. A laser cut case is available that contains the LushOne base and the Inca or it can easily be housed in a project box.
Open-source access to schematics

The LushOne Echo is straightforward to build but it does have quite a high component count. It is recommended that you have some experience in building electronics before starting on this kit."
