Grove Audio GMS709a Dual DADSR Envelope Generator with Multiple Modes

"The GMS709a dual DADSR envelope generator, in addition to the normal ADSR controls adds a delay setting prior to the start of the envelope. The delay time interval can range from 1 millisecond to 10 seconds. Other panel controls can select an exponential envelope or a linear envelope with either positive or negative direction. The operating modes are Normal, Gated and Loop. In Loop mode, by adjusting the delay, attack and decay controls, the envelope generator will generate a series of envelopes with varying frequency.

The gate input connector also includes a trigger input on the ring connection so that a trigger source can restart the Attack/Decay phase of the envelope while the gate signal remains active. There is also a front panel gate pushbutton to trigger the envelope for each channel."

Future Retro Releases the Zillion and Swynx

"Austin, TX, May 27 2014—Future Retro is proud to announce the release of two new products, the Zillion and Swynx.

The Zillion is a single track algorithmic MIDI sequencer based on the principles of the Triadex Muse. While the Muse used counters and a shift register to generate more than a million musical melodies, the Zillion expands on these ideas to add more features and functionality, providing a zillion possibilities for you to discover.

There are 16 operating modes including: Playback, Tempo, Swing, Direction, Loop, Transpose, Scale, Scale Program, Melody, Rhythm, Velocity, Theme, Shift Register, MIDI OUT, MIDI IN, and Sync.

Many unique features not found in other sequencers.

The Zillion provides the ability to store all parameter settings of where you last were. You can also reset parameters to typical Triadex Muse settings as a quick way of starting new adventures.

This product comes with a universal power supply and can be used anywhere in the world.

Each product is hand made in the USA, has a list price of $300, and is currently shipping.

hexinverter.net ORBITALS step sequencer demo

Published on May 27, 2014 hexinverterDOTnet·26 videos

"Orbitals is a 2x8 or 1x16 step analog sequencer with voltage addressed step select and bipolar voltage output modes. It packs a lot of punch in a very economical package as either a 42HP eurorack modular DIY kit ($279) or fully assembled eurorack module.

Here I demo the module and sequence an ALM/Thonk SID GUTS DIY oscillator and use a Galilean Moons for the VCA/envelope. I also use the upcoming first two Mutant Drums from hexinverter.net: the Mutant Bassdrum and Hihats (demo videos coming shortly!)
