Details on the Upcoming anAmoNo X Synthesizer From Gotharman

You've seen the videos, we now have full details on the upcoming anAmoNo X synth in directly from Gotharman. You'll find the full details on a new anAmoNo X site here, and captured below for the archives. Take a look at the specs. This is going to be one powerful synth, complete with swappable filters and more.

"Modular synthesizer with memory, swappable analog filters, sampler and granular effects.

Please notice: anAmoNo X does NOT work with the expansion box series. Instead it has replacable analog filters.

The most flexible Gotharman synthesizer ever!

I was really happy with the flexibility of my Eurorack system, but since I spend most of my time running Gotharman's, and do not have very much time for playing music, I was not really happy with the lack of preset storage on this. I always ended up spending a huge lot of time tweaking knobs and rearranging cables, and not really getting any tracks composed (inportant or not :-)). This actually became a bigger and bigger annoyance to me, and in my Christmas holidays 2015, I decided to do something about it.

At first I started to design a module with 32 audio inputs, 32 CV inputs, 32 audio outputs, 32 CV outputs, 64 knobs, a display and memory. The idea was to connect everything of all my eurorack modules to this (hmmm...actually I am not sure if this module would have had enough connections...), connect the modules via an internal cross-bay, and adjust all the CV and audio levels on the 64 knobs. It did though, pretty soon, become clear to me, that this module would be huge and really expensive to produce. On top of that, not all parameters are CV controllable on all modules, so it would require quite a bit of soldering to get this connected to everything.

So I took a few days of brainstorming with myself, and came up with a new idea: The most important sound shaping thing (to my opinion), is the filter. So if I just could scramble things a bit down, and make a box with oscillators, VCA's, modulation sources, and maybe some effect modules, and just made the filters replacable, it would theoretically give almost the same possibilities as my eurorack system, but with added patch storage. And if I one day got tired of its sound, I would just have to replace one or both of its filters, and then I would get new sounds, without having to design or purchase a completely new synth. The design of anAmoNo X began...

"Yes, this is the one pictured in the January 1982 edition of Keyboard Magazine. It is the only one ever built. It is not a functioning Pro-One: the motherboard, keyboard and pitch/mod wheels are in place, but no power supply. It comes ‘as is’ in an A&S road case."

Definitely not something you see everyday. Wow! I believe this is the first time I've seen pictures of it in the flesh.

Todd At Control - Guided Improv

"This is the improvised portion of a demo talk/improv I did at Control in Brooklyn May 4, 2016. It is a live recording with ambient sounds including my annoying looper pedal which, when I clear it with a double tap make a very loud sound. So . . . if you can get past that you might enjoy this.

Also this is the first time I've tried to describe my compositional/improvisational process while actually performing it. Thus it is a 'guided tour' through my thinking process in the moment.

Many thanks to Joe Bouillot for loaning me his Easel and to Jonas and Darren at Control for hosting and to all those you attended. Cheers! Todd"
