KiNK Tiptop Audio QuantiZer test 1

Published on Dec 15, 2016 kink303

"In this little session I`m feeding a quantizer with modulation voltages and gates can turn it into a pretty interesting squencer. Here I`m using the new QuantiZer by Tiptop Audio, feeding it with voltages from Intellijel Quadra (a loopable envelope) and I`m triggering it with Tiptop Audio Circadian Rhythms. The drums are Tiptop too, the oscillator is the Cloud Generator and the filter is Cwejman MMF-6. Funk phenomena!"

Moog THE SOURCE synth dust cover (design #1) by Stardust Synth Covers

See the sellers other items for other synths. These are super nice. An interesting feature is they appear to have a velcro back panel so you can leave them all hooked up while covered. If you used MIDI or CV to control your synths remotely in the studio, you can leave the cover on. Be sure to check for your particular synth though, as I am not sure if this is the case for every cover.

Details on the quality put into the covers: "Dust is never gone, we’re all aware of that: dust is everywhere, and, whenever we remove dust, it always comes back. Then, it gets inside your most loved objects and instruments, cover your synth's components with crud which can lead to heat dissipation problems, and it also wrecks slider pots. Now, we also know that everybody wants to protect their synths from this everlasting and corrupting dust, from liquid spills, fading, and every kind of bangs and cracks.

Why? Because we all love our synths with unconditional love.

Our synth dust covers are the best expression of this love.

Why?

It took us two years of thorough and passionate research to find and develop the most proper materials for the product we had in mind.

Our covers will look like they were manufactured at the exact same time your synth was, as if they were twin brothers.

The vectorized synth designs are printed using UV Digital methood.

They have flaplike ducts for cables, in order to keep them connected even when your cover is on.

We’ll be working in order to continually develop new models, both for the most recent and the oldest synths.

This is a custom made product, manufactured exclusively in Portugal, a renowned country in the textile industry.

We would also like to let you know that our covers have several different designs which you can choose from, and are all made of synthetic leather, a layer of high density foam to provide protection and form the cover, as well as a delicate soft layer that will be in contact with the instrument."

Vermona ’14 Analogsynthesizer Monophonic Lead- and Bass-Synthesizer Now Available

You might remember back in October it was announced the Vermona '14 was entering production. It appears production has completed and there will only be a total of 222 units available. You can find previous posts on the Vermona '14 including video here.

Details on the release via Vermona:

"With the completion of the ’14 Analogsynthesizer, a long fostered dream becomes true: The design and realization of an uncompromising synthesizer for instrumentalists.

Equality of haptics and sound
To us, expressive play means a balanced relation between melodic virtuosity and sound shaping. In our ’14 Analogsynthesizer, these factors unite in full equality: Keyboard, pitch- and modulation-wheels are incomplete without the additional controls and switches of the remaining control surface. These offer direct access to each individual sound shaping parameter of the synthesis engine.

The ’14 Analogsynthesizer is perfectly suited for distinctive solo and bass sounds including dynamic and individual sonic variations which are completely under your control at any time.

Uncompromising circuit implementation
The components being responsible for the sound-generation and -shaping are based upon our proved and tested circuits of PERfourMER MKII and Mono Lancet ’15. However, we did not just carry over these circuits but have adapted and refined these specifically for the ’14 Analogsynthesizer. Besides stability and musicality, we paid great attention to an intuitive and practical scaling of each and every sound parameter.

The ’14 Analogsynthesizer follows the classic subtractive synthesis structure: a versatile lowpass molds the sound-source being created by two powerful analog oscillators. Typical for Vermona instruments, the sound is warm, round, classy and offers musical authority in the mix.

Handmade in our electroacoustic manufacture in Germany
There a hundreds of work steps from the assembly of the circuit boards to the final, rigorous quality assurance of the finished instrument. Without exception, these steps are carried out with skilled craftsmanship and expert precision in our Elektroakustische Manufaktur in Erlbach, Germany.

Each ’14 Analogsynthesizer is an outstanding instrument and leaves our manufacture as one of just 222 units."

"This wonderful vintage piece of synthesizer history comes from my husband's recording studio. I do not know anything about it, so I am selling it "AS - IS." I can't properly test it. Here's what I can tell you: I can see that it powers up and I hear a hum. Most of the lights come on and off and the display shows numbers on it. There are several keys that are sticky. There is a bit of a stain on the wood on the right hand side of the keyboard. It looks like something may have stuck to the wood. It isn't all that noticeable. This instrument comes from a clean, smoke free environment. Thank you for looking."
