Twisting knobs on the OP-1
Published on Jan 18, 2015 Mikael Björk
"Just getting to know some gear. Jamming with OP-1, Waldorf 2-Pole and an analog delay from Artec.
I have this new strategy to not have all my gear hooked up. You know, standard config way. I rather have some stuff (the Elektron gear) 'permanently' hooked. The rest of my instruments gets more temporary patching. It kinda triggers my creativity. Not working with everything at once. And in different setups.

Nord Modular FM Beat
Published on Jan 2, 2015 Mikael Björk
"The possibilities of modeling my own percussive synthesis in the Nord Modular and sequencing (and processing) it from the Octatrack, should make for nice digital sound palette.
This is my first effort. A dual osc, frequency modulated, filtered percussion generator (no not at all ‘realistic’ – I’ve got samples for that). A couple of them in different slots of the NM. Using two different outputs of the NM to feed the Octatrack so as to be able to process the audio channels differently.

Cool design & packaging. Note the drawing on the original box. Note the color choices for the buttons & orange knobs on the microGranny, along with the etchings on the frosted case. The included materials also include a distinct design. I love it when manufacturers give this level of attention to details.
via the seller: " This microGranny 2.0 from Bastil Instruments is in great condition and has only seen very light use in a smoke free home studio - practically brand new. I bought this Limited Edition version when Bastil first came out with version 2 of this granular sampler last year. It's battery operated, although you can use a power adapter (not as much fun). You can record your own samples into it quickly with the built in mic or use the supplied samples. The unit has a removable micro SD card, midi and an input and output jack on the back. I'm including the original box (with its factory applied artwork) and all that came in it. The box was dented in shipping but there was no damage to the contents whatsoever.
The microGranny is pretty easy to use once you read the manual and play around with it a bit. It's a great little tool to have kicking around the studio to inspire new ideas or just break monotony. I wish I didn't have to let it go, it's a great and unique instrument. Thanks for looking!"

Update: via daden in the comments: "the dsm 1 doesn't have analog filters , just the dss1. it's a digital filter withiour resonance if i recall correctly."
Update 2 via Chris: "Nope, definitely analog filters. Just implemented differently than in the DSS-1, so no resonance."
"Includes the Following Discs;
(1) Orchestral Instruments (Can't get this one to load)
(1) Brass & Instruments
(1) Multiple Instruments
(1) Piano & Instruments
(2) Latin Percussion
(2) Drums I
(2) Drums II
(2) Drums III
(2)Hard Rock
(2) New Age Disk

"The Oscillators are the main sound sources of the instrument. VC0-2RM is equipped with seven waveforms, LFO mode, sync and waveform outputs are routed to a DC coupled ring modulator (RM). The oscillator's frequency is controlled by COARSE, TUNE knobs and FM inputs. TUNE finetunes the oscillators (± 6 semitones).
Frequency modulation (leveled FM1, FM2 and FM3 ) determinates the intensity of frequency modulation and/or pitch control. All FM inputs are carefully calibrated for 1Volt/octave sensitivity. Frequency modulation, by an audio signal, creates so called "side-bands" that consist of sum and difference of signals frequencies.
These additional frequencies do mostly have a non harmonic sound. Modulation, by low periodic waveforms, such as LFO or envelope generator creates momentary pitch shift of modulated oscillator common named vibrato (by LFO) or pitch bend (by envelope generator).
SYNC means that sync'ed oscillators frequency is tracked by the frequency of controlling oscillator;
OSC2's frequency is syncronized to OSC1's frequency. When the tuned frequency of sync-ed oscillator has the same or multiple of frequency of controlling oscillator then sync-ed oscillators waveform has no or very little "glitch" which results in a sync-ed smooth waveform (sinus waveform). The sync-ed waveforms (with additional FM modulation) are perfect for cutting edge lead sound and hard, funky basses.
PULSE WIDTH % adjusts the pulse width of the pulse wave from 5% to 95%.
WAVEFORM selects the waveform or a mix of waveforms from an oscillator. PULSE WIDTH control works also on the waveform mixes where the pulse wave is included.
Ring modulator (RM) is a classic audio effect device and due to the non harmonic character of the output signal, very useful to create metallic timbres such as bells, sweeping whistles and percussive sounds and tremolo effects (modulated by low periodic signal like a LFO). Two input signals are pre-patched to OSC1 and OSC2 outputs. Using the inputs X and Y, any other external signal can be routed directly into the ring modulator. As modulation source the ring modulator can produce a huge amount of complex waveforms both in the low and audio frequency range."
