Moog Releases the Werkstatt-01

Introducing Werkstatt-01 Published on Jun 9, 2014 Moog Music Inc ·267 videos

"The Moog Werkstatt-Ø1 is an analog synthesizer kit. Once assembled, you will have the satisfaction of owning a Moog synthesizer that you've built yourself. The Werkstatt-Ø1 is also an excellent platform for exploring the world of analog synthesizer circuits.

In this video, Moog Engineering Technician, Rosser Douglas, gives you an overview of the build process and functionality of the Werkstatt-Ø1 synthesizer.

"The Werkstatt-Ø1: Moogfest 2014 Kit is a patchable and compact, one oscillator analog synthesizer. It was originally created as a kit, to be the foundation for exclusive “Engineering VIP” workshops at Moogfest 2014. Due to a number of requests, Moog is offering a no-soldering-required version of the Werkstatt-Ø1: Moogfest 2014 Kit in limited quantities, at select US dealers only. Assembly is extremely simple: Any user can quickly build an analog synthesizer based on classic Moog circuits, and if desired, study the analog circuits. Werkstatt was created to be an educational tool, but it is also a formidable, compact analog synthesizer from Moog."

"First test of Oval electronic instrument with Ravid Goldschmidt.

Oval is both an electronic musical instrument and an open-hardware music controller, linked to an app for iOS. It allows you to manipulate the instrument, change its sounds and programs and it's also a tool for music learning, sharing compositions and performing live.

Pendulum Ratchet simple patch

Published on Jun 9, 2014 Todd Barton·166 videos

"Here is a very elementary patch for the Pendulum/Rachet. Hope this helps those just getting started with the P/R.

What I love about it is the ability to "generate a bunch of correlated pulses." These pulses can then, in turn, trigger a 281e or two and, a 266e and, of course, a 251e/250e. When trigging the 281e it, in turn, can create lots of different CVs to send all around your system.

Chris Muir's design is brilliant and an incredibly powerful addition to any Buchla system. Here's a link to the PR description of functions:

DDFX - burst assistant

Published on Jun 9, 2014 Alex Pleninger·48 videos

"despite the fact that the algorithm was made up as an aid for karminus-weak, it can act also as a standalone transient sounds generator, needs external pulse though."

Update:

DDFX - burst assistant fires up karminus-weak

Published on Jun 9, 2014

"208r's random voltage source goes to burst assistant (lower section) which is being triggered by rapid voltage changes, interpreting them as pulses. burst assistants' "bursts" fire up karminus-weak (upper section). some self- and cross-modulation is present."

DDFX - 8-band correlated comb filter

"'little man' instrumental is being affected by 8-band bandpass filter with initial band frequency control on x-pot and even/odd bands divergencies on pots y and z. timebase changes bandwidth."

ReDominator Intro AU / VST - Roland Alpha Juno 1/2 Emulation

Published on Jun 9, 2014 audiorealism·6 videos

"ReDominator is an emulation of the classic Alpha Juno 1/2 (JU-1/2), a polyphonic DCO (digitally controlled oscillator) based synth from 1986. The JU-1/2 became popular in the early 90's techno and rave scene particularly by the classic Hoover sound (which ReDominator attempts to emulate accurately). But beyond those niche sounds there lays a versatile synthesizer that does bass, pads, leads, organs and a lot of other sounds waiting to be discovered!

Now available as a VST and AU at:

EURORACK MODULE - Erica Fusion Series TEASER

Published on Jun 9, 2014 DivKidMusic·31 videos

"Here's a little teaser of the new Erica range of vacuum tube modules the 'Fusion' series. There's 5 modules with valves including a VCO mixer, VCA, Ring Modulator, Filter and Delay/Chorus. These will be released in July so watch http://www.ericasynths.lv for more info.

As always feel free to like/comment and ask questions.

PATCH NOTES

E350 XY output into Erica Fusion Ring Modular X input, E350 Z input into Ring Mod Y input. Both wavetables outputs then cross modulate each other. The Ring Modulator goes out into the Erica Fusion Analog Delay/Chorus with external CV modulation from a Pittsburgh Modular VILFO. The Chorus then goes out into the Erica Fusion series VCA with gain/bias offset and modulation from a WMD Multimode Envelope. This goes into a mixer before recording.

The E350 Y and X positions are morphed from a sample and hold which is the Frequency Central Ultra Wave. The Ultra Wave goes into a Manhattan Analog CVP for some slew to smooth the changes. This is clocked at x4 the clock speed on a 4ms SCM, the main pitch sequence is also the x4 clock going into a Turing Machine, then into a ADDAC 207 Quantizer feeding the E350's 1v/oct input. The quantizers trigger out gates the WMD envelope.

The x1 clock triggers a Doepfer Quad ADSR with envelopes going to the exponential FM on an Intellijel Dixie with the sine wave out going into a uVCA with a second envelope trigger the VCA. This creates the simple kick. The Turing Machine noise out going into the second VCA channel and is trigger by a third envelope running at x2 the clock speed. These are both mixed into the main riff before taking a single out to record.

Manual wiggling was of the E350 wave banks (switch), CVP level to bring in and out sample and hold wavetable modulation, Delay/Chorus rate, internal / external mod switch, delay time and feedback. And finally the input levels of the VCA and chorus.

MODULE SPECIFIC PATCH NOTES

VCO Mixer - AFG waveforms into the mixer

VCA - E350 with CV modulation on the VCA from WMD Multimode Envelope

Filter - Braids in supersaw mode with sample and hold modulation from Frequency Central Ultra Wavefilter cut off

Ring Mod - Two Intellijel Dixie sine waves, manually wiggling tuning of each.

Analog Delay/Chorus - mix of oscillators into the unit."
