New Pittsburgh Modular Impulse Filter Demo Video

Published on Dec 9, 2016 Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers

"Organic and percussive, the Dynamic Impulse Filter utilizes an entirely new, all analog design to replicate the impact transients and vibrance of a percussion hit. The result is a versatile lowpass filter that sounds natural and energetic. The Dynamic Impulse Filter works in one of three modes, lopass filter with resonance, high quality VCA, and a combined mode that manages both harmonics and gain at the same time. The core of the filter uses a Sallen-Key topology to produce a smooth two pole filter that will self-oscillate at high resonance settings."

"Lifeforms Dynamic Impulse Filter

A New Species of Low Pass Gate

Organic and percussive, the Dynamic Impulse Filter utilizes an entirely new, all analog design to replicate the impact transients and vibrance of a percussion hit. The result is a versatile filter module that sounds natural and energetic.

We Love Vactrols Too...

The fruit of over two years of research and development, the Dynamic Impulse Filter evolves the lowpass gate into the present by retaining the sonic characteristics we love about vactrols while solving all the problems that come with it. The unique design of the Dynamic Impulse Filter replaces the vactrol with a modern analog circuit created to replicate and expand on the signature sound of the vactrol. The response time of the Dynamic Impulse Filter is not static like a vactrol; instead it is tunable allowing the response of the module to adapt to any musical context.

The suggested retail price for the Lifeforms Dynamic Impulse Filter is $229 and it begins shipping to authorized resellers December 16. More information is available at www.pittsburghmodular.com/lifeforms-dynamic-impulse-filter"

MICHAL HO - So You're A Drum Machine Too?

Published on Oct 2, 2016 Michal Ho

"Jamming minimal glitch dub beats on a single Moog Mother 32.

M32 - michal ho's initial beat patch:

NOISE to LIN FM gives you a slightly different, sharper flavour than mixing osc wave and noise, and it leaves your external input unused.

KB to MULT enables you to use different notes for different sounds.

MULT 1 to VCF ensures low notes or kicks play without noise, high notes play with noise, as hihats. Mid notes blend osc and noise and yield toms and snares.

MULT 2 to VCF RES ensures high notes or high hats have more treble and sound thinner. Low notes have less resonance and therefore more bass.

Once patched, the trick is to find the right sequencer notes to generate BD, SN and HH and tweak further settings to your liking (try note length / EG decay, etc.)"

"Today only lucky 7 sale. Price shoots up tomorrow or I may remove the listing. I'm not sure yet.

SEM-1 CLASSIC!!!
Fully functioning but should be shopped out because I can feel one of the pots is starting to act weird and the double function pots probably need a cleaning. But right now it is working and sounds amazing. It is professionally modified having all the access points brought out for complete isolation possibilities of the sounds. Everyone else has a reissue SEM pro but you will have an original SEM-1. Very very hard to find one of these, make an offer, get it while you can."

Electro Lobotomy Sonic Architecture Lab V. 1

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

You can find video of one here.

"one of the original versions of the Electro Lobotomy "Sonic Architecture Lab" but I'm now in post-graduate school mode and need to sell large chunks of my gear. This thing is great for noiseniks, exercises in industrial esotericism, and goth dungeons. Connect it to a delay pedal or reverb and a whole slew of insane noises are at your finger tips.

From electro lobotomy:

-2 independent QUAD NAND GATE synths, 8 oscillators total. ( 4 red knobs on top left and top right )
- Power starve for each nand gate synth. ( middle left and middle right red knobs )
- Global power starve knob ( chicken head knob on front of case )
- Banana jack patch bay in the center ( 5 outs and 5 ins for each nand synth )
- Mixer section, volume for each nand synth ( white knobs top center )
- 4 attenuators with ins and outs ( 4 red knobs along the bottom, 2 in each nand synth section )
- White Led's for each synth section
- 1/4" output jack
- DC jack ( tip = negative )

As you can see in the pictures, one of the edge has a nick in, but that's merely cosmetic and does not affect functionality. Included are a generic 9v adapter, 6 banana cables for patching this baby, and the 9v battery connector should you prefer to use batteries in place of a wall outlet. Brand new one of these will set you back $200, I'm starting the bidding low, so get after it. :)"
