FutureRetro XS semi-modular monosynth demo

Published on Apr 19, 2014 alternatingbitmusic·71 videos

"I think its cool how a monosynth can spit out such an array of sounds at once. I started a sound that had a percussive element to it and I thought I'd share with you all. Everything you hear is live from the FutureRetro XS, with CV in from a sequencer for voltage & gate only. The final output has a touch of delay for flavor. Enjoy."

The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun - Strings and Synth

Uploaded on Jul 31, 2011 BeatlesMixes·87 videos

"Isolated Track containing a Moog Synthesizer and Strings from Here Comes The Sun on Abbey Road (1969)

---This is copyright to EMI Music---"

via David Wilson-Okamura on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"Moog modular (and strings) from the Beatles' 'Here Comes the Sun' (1969); the synth gets more interesting after 1:33. I found this via Michael McRoberts' 1972 composition, posted below."

"This is one of the first pieces of electronic music I composed and recorded in 1972 utilizing a modular Moog synthesizer. The recording was primitive, bouncing tracks back and forth on a stereo tape recorder. The video graphics are just for fun."

via Michael McRoberts on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge:

"This was probably my first real serious piece with the Moog. It was recorded on my stereo reel-to-reel tape recorder, bouncing back and forth between the left and right channels. That's a very primitive way to make a multitrack recording."

via this auction

"This is a MFOS Noise Toaster analog synthesizer built/modified by New Voodoo Design as a prototype/example model for a customer who wanted a series of MFOS synthesizers in panels that would fit in a Eurorack rack. This one could be put into any rack that would fit that size panel (bit more than 5" in height) or in an enclosure/box of almost any type (hammond, radio shack, etc) or left as it is.
Has the Guitar (1/4") In mod, but this does NOT mean this is a 'guitar synth'-that mod merely allows an audio in to the VCF.
There is also another mod to allow voltage in to control the VCO
Other notable things:
Wide Range VCO
White Noise Generator
LED freq indicator
low Pass Filter
VCA
AR Generator with Repeat or Manual Pushbutton
LFO with Square, Integrated Square and Differentiated Square waves
Nicely Normalized Switching Scheme
PCB Has Pads for Interface to Other DIY Projects.
Uses one 9V Battery (portable)
Low Current Design Extends Battery Life
Makes a plethora of plethoras of cool and interesting sounds
That's pretty much it. Quality design, very cool analog synth sounds can be had from this."

audiowerkstatte midi-restarter & midi-clock-divider

"The midi-restarter helps you to start or stop your MIDI-slave independent of your MIDI-master, but alway in perfect synchronisation.

You push the buttom and the audiowerkstatt midi-restarter sends a MIDI-start/stop-message at the beginning of the next bar to ensure that all following MIDI-devices run in the correct timing.

There are 3 modes of operation:
1. At the beginning of the next bar, a MIDI-stop-message and immediately after that a MIDI-start-message is sent. In this mode, a standing sequencer is restarted and a running sequencer is "pushed" into the correct timing. This mode does not work with all MIDI-devices as some devices require a short break between MIDI-stop- and MIDI-start-message. For these devices, the second mode can be selected.

2. A short time before the next bar starts (one MIDI-clock-message=1/24 quarter-note), a MIDI-stop-message is sent and then at the next bar a MIDI-start-message is sent. In this mode, a standing sequencer is restarted and a running sequencer is - after a very short break - "pushed" to the correct timing. This mode corresponds to the first and is intended for MIDI-devices that require a short break between MIDI-start- and MIDI-stop-message.

3. If the sequencer is running, a MIDI-stop-message is sent at the next bar and if the sequencer is standing, a MIDI-start-message is sent at the next bar. In this mode, a standing sequencer is restarted and running sequencer is stopped at the next bar.

It can be switched between the time-signatures 4/4 and 3/4.

You can also set whether only the newly created MIDI-clock and the MMC commands (start, stop, continue) are sent or the midi-data, received at the MIDI-in, will be mixed with that."

"The audiowerkstatt midi-clock-divider is a clock-divider for the MIDI-clock.

The audiowerkstatt midi-clock-divider divides the MIDI-clock of the MIDI-master, whereby the MIDI-slave runs correspondingly slower. The division-ratios are 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, ..., 1/8, 1/9.

If the division-factor 1/1 is selected, the MIDI-clock is simply passed through. With the division-factor of 1/2 the MIDI-slave runs at half the speed. So 16ths-notes will be 8th-notes and the loop is twice as long.

Very useful to double the loop length of the MIDI-slave (eg MIDI-sequencer or [audio-]looper). When using the division-factor 1/8 and an originally one bar long loop runs over 8 bars.

And good for experimental musicians, especially if an odd division-factor is selected and MIDI-master and slave seem to be not in sync, but from time to time come together in perfect sync.

You can also set whether only the newly created MIDI-clock and mmc commands (start, stop, continue) are sent or the, at the MIDI-in incoming data, will be mixed with that."

TB-303 is sending CV to Moogerfoogers and CV+Gate to Minitaur.
Minitaur melody is TB303 sequence from CV+Gate, live transposed with midi from Push
SH-101 melody is SH-101 sequence triggered by TR-606 and live transposed on SH-101 .
Ableton sends midi clock to Analog Four and Kaossilator Pro+
Analog Four sends din sync to TB-303 and TR-606.
TB-303 CV is used with Moogerfooger Freq Box frequency for FM distortion.
Moogerfooger Phaser, Freqbox and Analog Delay used all with overdrive on TB-303 only.
