MIDI TUTORIAL: CONTROLLING NOVATION CIRCUIT WITH KORG ELECTRIBE 2

Published on Sep 20, 2017 mishpult

"A quick overview on how to use the E2 to control some parameters of the Circuit, such as synth 1&2 filter cutoff, resonance and amp decay and release, which otherwise are accessible only via the editor/controller paradigm or when assigned specifically to a macro knob. There is also a special treat on channel 16 of the Electribe. Enjoy and share your experience with those two!"

Teisco S100P Performance Synth with Aftertouch and Spring Reverb

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

via this auction

"Rare performance synth from 1979 with built in Spring Reverb, Flanger and assignable Aftertouch control and 32 different voices with each voice able to be modified through various effects and touch sensitivities.. Very expressive and rich sounding little beast with plenty of character. Similar to the Arp Pro Soloist and SH-2000. These were manufactured under license from ARP Instruments, USP 3,965,789.

In excellent condition for its age with very little cosmetic damage to the exterior (some minor scratches/scuffs here and there - see pics). A couple of slightly bent preset switches, though not affecting function. And one slightly off kilt high F key (end of keybed - see photos - again not affecting function.) Would be very easy to correct for someone inclined. The synth is clean (no scratchy pots) and in full working order.... and sounds amazing.

Original dust cover included.

Spec: High and low outputs, headphone jack, and an expression pedal input for volume control."

WMD Chimera - 10 minutes of sound NO TALKING

Published on Sep 20, 2017 WMDevices

"The description says it all. 10 (this one goes to 11) minutes with the new Chimera percussion module in a very basic and compact setup.

Clocked by the Noise Engineering Horologic Solum and sequenced by the Suit and Tie Guy Graphic Sequencer, the Chimera is the only sound source here. No external effects or sound embellishments... Except for a cup of coffee."

Percussa SSP Schematics & Layout Update #1

via the Percussa Kickstarter campaign:

"SSP layout work in progress (looking at back side of module)

Hi everyone :-)

Bert here, I've been working hard the past week on the schematics and layout of the SSP and progressed well. As you know the design is based on the work I've done for the Percussa Engine the past couple of years. My goal right now is to get an initial placement of all my parts and do a rough first routing of all the traces. When that is done I can then start optimizing and fine tuning the design, double checking documentation and footprints, etc. Here is a selection of the stuff I've had to do the past week, since the previous update:

1) move the display from the top to the bottom layer of the PCB (bottom layer is the user-facing / front panel side, so we're looking at the "back" of the eurorack module in the above image and to see the front you have to flip it horizontally)

2) find footprints for, check footprints for, and place the input / output jacks and the USB host (looks like we have room for TWO host ports!) and Device port (bottom side)

3) place the encoders and switches (bottom side)

4) duplicate the layout / placement for the input / output stages for the DACs and ADCs and duplicate them in the schematics as well and fix all the board/schematic inconsistencies

5) design footprints for the 8 channel DAC and 8 channel ADCs (AK4458/AK5558)

6) add the ADCs and DAC to the schematics

7) move the various power supplies in the design (all the specialized switchers, regulators, etc)

8) create slot to feed display cable through so it can attach on the other side

9) relocate display related circuitry

10) rip up a lot of top/bottom traces while relocating stuff and creating room for other parts to be added

11) designed a footprint for the programmable logic we're going to use (256 ball BGA package) and read documentation and design recommendations for the part and footprint

12) designed schematic symbols for the ADC, DAC and programmable logic and added all those in the schematic

13) added euro power connector, added serial console connector, 2 pin headers for jumpers, and other various small debug features

14) added vertical microSD slot

15) placed mounting spacers for front panel

I'm mostly there with the initial placement, so rest of this week I'll be fixing / adding connections in the schematics, adding power decoupling here and there, updating power circuitry, checking layout of some of the power circuits, and starting to route signals. The yellow wires you can see in the board layout are "airwires", they indicate which connections I have to make by drawing traces. I'll be doing those by hand since I don't use an autorouter, so that will take a while :-)

Besides the schematics/layout I've also been reviewing linux kernel driver code, since we'll be attaching the programmable logic to our ARM SoC and want to keep that whole puzzle as simple as possible. The programmable logic is used to attach the multiple ADCs to the ARM processor.

I hope you enjoy this update! The design is looking good and progressing well. I'll keep you all updated.

Thanks again for backing,

Bert & Celine"

Happy Nerding 3x VCA 1/2: Demo, Overview, Mixing, and Enveloping

Published on Sep 20, 2017 Learning Modular

"This is the first of two movies on the Happy Nerding 3x VCA – three linear VCAs with bipolar attenuators (“attenuverters”) and offset controls as well as internal mixing in just 6 hp of space. This movie focuses on using VCAs for normal enveloped amplitude duties, as well as voltage-controlled mixing in a performance context. The video breaks down like this:

0:00 live mixing performance demo
0:49 module overview
2:48 patch breakdown
4:10 voltage levels & response
6:04 voltage controlled mixing
8:45 summary
