"Back to the Matrix .....


The Alyseum MS-MATRIX is a Eurorack module consisting of a dynamic matrix, both analog and digital in nature, which sports 16 inputs and 16 outputs. A special 256 LED display makes a fast, a friendly and intuitive graphical interface, each LED representing one of the 256 points of connections available.

The module accepts a variety of signals such as Gates, Clocks, CV and Oscillator simultaneously, while the different user configurations can be saved as user presets in 32 locations. These 32 presets can be recalled by hand, by a dedicated CV Input on the front panel, by MIDI (either incoming Note On or CC).

The Input and Output expander mixer modules (coming soon) can be controlled by the MIDI from the main unit via infra-red (IR). No need for additional cables which might cause ground loops or interferences!

Features:
> High Voltage 16 X 16 Matrix both Analog and Digital (DC-coupled).
> Analog distortion: 0.01% (2 Vp-p)
> Analog Bandwith: 0Hz to 20KHz (+/-0,1 dB)
> Isolation between channels: 92 dB at 1KHz
> Inputs and Outputs buffered with low offset Op-Amp.
> Simple firmware upgrades by the front panel MIDI port.
> Direct Eurorack power supply.
> Eurorack 26 HP wide."

KOMA Elektronik starts pre-orders for KOMPLEX Sequencer

"25 June 2015, BERLIN, GERMANY
- The time has come! KOMA Elektronik is happy to announce the Komplex Sequencer is in production and pre orders have been opened on our website and at select dealers worldwide. To celebrate this we started a new section on our website called "Timeline" where you can have a look into the past year of working on the Komplex Sequencer. We are very excited that finally everybody else can experience the raw power of the Komplex soon! Our new step sequencer lets you construct complex musical patterns, via both MIDI and CV/Gate. Built around four full-featured 16-step sequencers in a compact and light enclosure, the Komplex Sequencer is a powerful tool both live and in the studio. All features have their own dedicated controls; no screens or submenus, and all features have their own dedicated in- and outputs on the large 87-point patch bay.

Connectivity and Quantization
By patching both internal and external CV sources through the patch bay of the Komplex, you can control any parameter of the sequencer immediately and “sequence the sequence.” Controls include Speed, Sequence Length, Gate Length, Play Mode, Glide, Division, Transpose, Repeat, Sequence Start Point and Skip. Additionally, the sequencer can vary output range and also has a quantizer on board operable in different scales. And not only is the sequencer compatible with almost any synthesizer with CV/Gate, MIDI note, velocity and CC information can also transmitted by any of the four sequencers. Lastly a seven bank CV Recorder is on board and can output up to 5 banks at once.

The Komplex Sequencer opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities and starts where other sequencers have stopped.

Here you will find the official User Manual which gives you all information surrounding our new release. First orders ship from the end of July onwards. Pre-orders via: http://koma-elektronik.com/new/ or select retailers worldwide. [dealers on the right]

Thought that was an interesting description. Great pic as well. Reminds me of an outdoor swimming pool in summer.

Vintage Simmons SDS IV Drum Synthesizer SN 4007

via this auction

"SDS IV Drum Synthesizer serial number 4007. In very good condition for its age. Other than the odd light scratch, the only marks are on the back where the previous owner has lightly sanded out his sprayed logo.

I've run it through an amp and it seems to work fine, but I'm not familiar with what it is capable of so I can't test every function.

You can find out more at: http://www.simmons.synth.net

Complete with stereo jack lead.

The mains socket has been bypassed with a long hard-wired 13A lead, but this could be easily restored."

"Legendary, all original 1980 Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 vintage analogue poly-synthesiser! Original 240/220 Volt (can be switched to 110V) machine.

Owned from new by a named musician/producer.

Fully working and serviced for sale which included stripping, cleaning and re-bushing the entire keybed, changing capacitors, new powerlead and a new memory battery!

Also comes fully loaded with the original 120 factory patches! This synth sounds really incredible! Tunes reliably and solidly!

This is a late revision 3.3 model, which features an expanded 120 bank patch memory amongst other enhancements including importantly ones for reliability.

Physically while it is in excellent condition overall, it does have some marks, scratches and wear here and there from general use, it is 35 years old after all! One black/silver cap from a knob is missing(easily replaced)."

Ben Babbitt on the EMU modular synth

Uploaded on Apr 6, 2015 Cardboard Computer

"Ben Babbitt working on the EMU modular synth at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Ben used this synth to record the music for the XANADU sequence in Kentucky Route Zero. Our line-out recording got corrupted, so this is audio from the room -- pardon the sound quality! This should at least still give you a sense of what it looks & feels like to work on this striking instrument."

Update via the comments: "Lovely interview with Ben Babbitt on Horizontalpitch.com"
