Inside a Roland CM-300. Check out the extended power button. Video includes how to get rid of that old stained plastic with the "retrobright" process. Video also features a super rare 10" vinyl of Anders Enger Jensen's Retro Grooves EP, limited to 4 cut copies. There's some retro gaming using the CM-300 for audio at the end.

"Before the System-8 goes back (we've had it a while) we thought we'd explore in more depth the on board effects."

GMSN! - Pure Modular System *West Coast Patch*

Published on Mar 24, 2017 DivKidVideo

"I have the GMSN! Pure Modular system in for some Future Music magazine but I had this West Coast patch going with audio rate filter mod and some feedback loop stuff with the two VCOs. There's linear FM and sync going between them both as well as audio rate PWM. All good fun."

Lavender - Carved Intentions

Published on Mar 23, 2017 Lavender Synth

"Lavender releases a provocative music video exploring power relationships in gender-pecific roles. Completely filmed in black and white by french producer Elliott Morin, Carved Intentions’s aesthetics underline the minimalism of Lavender’s moody electronic music, and creates a strikingly unsettling film noir atmosphere. 'Carved Intentions' is the first single from Lavender’s critically acclaimed Sophomore album 'Horizons Beneath the Surface' (Jacktone records, 2016).

Album link: https://jacktonerecords.bandcamp.com/album/horizons-beneath-the-surface

Lavender will be touring with Marc Kate and playing the following cities:
03/29/17 - Portland (OR) @ The Lovecraft Bar
03/31/17 - Seattle, (WA) @ Gallery 1412
04/01/17 - Vancouver (BC) @The Lido

Metzger Archimedes: A Bipolar CV Modulator & Limiter Eurorack Module on Kickstarter

The Metzger Technologies Archimedes was first featured here back in July of 2016.

It is now on Kickstarter - looks like it reached the goal of $3000 as well.

"Archimedes is a Bipolar Dynamic Signal Manipulator that is designed for the Eurorack Modular Synthesizer format.

The module is 10hp wide, 38mm deep, and the current draw is: 90mA on +12 / 90mA on -12.

Archimedes takes in a +5 / -5 volt signal (Oscillator, LFO, Noise, Random) and processes the positive and negative sections separately with CV control over everything, and is AC / DC capable as there is no filtering on all of the inputs and outputs.

It is comprised of 3 linear sections: 2 Bipolar Rectifiers -> Offset -> 2 Bipolar Limiting Rails

This module has a lot of uses: CV able bipolar half wave rectification over the positive and negative sections of a bipolar input signal, full wave rectification, VCA, bipolar VCA, crossfader, offset, CV able bipolar limiting rails, feedback path destroyer, wave shaping, distortion, asymmetrical & symmetrical clipping, and more.

The final prototype (pilot) for Archimedes has been thoroughly tested and is ready for launch and all the design work has been finished, but we need to spend a fair amount of money to buy components in quantity, PCBs, as well as get anodized aluminum metal photo front panels.

All of our vendors are lined up and ready to provide us with parts and the only thing we're waiting on are people like you to help us manufacture Archimedes. After the launch we are hoping to introduce more Metzger Technologies products and increase our global dealer network.

Risks and challenges

The risks and challenges that come with completing Archimedes are quite small, as we have a working prototype. The design has been thoroughly tested over many months and the current version of the prototypes have been built, tested and confirmed that they are ready for fabrication. All the components have been sourced and ready for purchase.

We have experienced & qualified assembly technicians on standby here in Portland, Oregon USA, where your module will be manufactured with the utmost care and respect. All employees of Metzger Technologies have experience in the music technology business, with our Founder / President having nearly a decade's worth and our talented Electrical Engineers having an accumulated 50+ years under their belts. We do not foresee any problems coming up that we can't solve rather easily."
