"A selection of sounds I've programmed for Dave Smith Instruments' Prophet REV2. Everything has been recorded straight into Ableton. No additional effects or processing, just pure Prophet REV2."
The following is some info on their BigFish modular system followed by a couple of videos and some details on their individual modules. Note this is the first This Is Not Rocket Science post on the site! We have a new maker in town. :)
"// MODULE STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT //
BigFish is our full fledged synth.
This beeper started out life as Goldfish; a plug-in on the PocketPC for the Griff sequencer, and a buzzmachine in 2002. It has grown up since. Swimming out of software and into its’ own enclosure for the first time as a self-contained synthesizer – coming out to play at the Landjuweel festival in 2015. Continuing on its’ journey it has now been netted by the modular system.
Many beep, beepy beep beep with buttons that click and indicators that blink and flash to anyones’ heart content.
Has its’ own certain sound that we have grown to love and we think you will too. Net this fish, good for your health.
X/Y/! your way around each melody. Find your tune and hang on.
Control the tempo by external clock subdivision or controlling your master tempo from 20 to 240 bpm.
Press the buttons to select options for Algorithms, Ticks, Beats and Scale.
Tuesday comes with Algorithms such as TriTrance, Stomper and Wobble."
Edgecutter is a highly expressive envelope generator that wants you to see how it feels on the inside.
Edgecutter comes with a bunch of LEDs that show you its progress through all the envelope stages. While you are knobbing the curvature control with your finger tips. It will show you exactly what you are doing.
This is the cutting edge of the envelope – and dont you know it."
"In this jam we decided to put together 3 MS-20 synthesizers: two analog MS-20 minis and one Legacy Controller. All sounds created using only those three devices. Drums from the Controller working with its iPad app.
"TONESTAR 8106, an ARP® 2600-inspired complete synth voice, infuses Tim Caswell's 'Jupiter to Juno' filter alchemy—a 6db/oct hi-pass filter followed by a recreation of the Roland IR3109 module—into our Tonestar 2600 platform; this chirpy yet full-bodied 8106 model is also fully #OutsToOuts modular featuring 27 pots—one more that the 2600 model for the high-pass filter, 6 switches—one less, sacrificing resonance modulation for that high-pass filtering, and 21 jacks. If the Tone☆ 8106 thins somewhat with resonance excess, route the triangle wave 'round the VCF with the 'NO VCF' switch setting, and keep this juicy reimagining of the Roland® IR3109 module boomin' and gloomin'."
