Midi Designer Pro Layout: Akai AX80 (latest firmware needed)
Published on Dec 19, 2017 MIDERA
"I have created a layout for the Akai AX80 using Midi Designer Pro 2 on the iPad. Linked here: http://mididesigner.com/qa/6339/layou...
You NEED the latest firmware to make this work (Rev I2, L2, or K2). Please see this website to purchase from Bob Grieb (or his associates): http://www.tauntek.com/AX80.htm"

THE YOWLER DIY NOICE SYNTH
Published on Dec 19, 2017 Cat Full of GHOSTS
"Here is a direct out from the headphone jack of the Yowler.
As well as it being used with a cv sequencer and a eurorack setup."
New Paraphonic Synth Module from Radikal Technologies in the Works
via Jörg Schaaf of Radikal Technologies.
"Nothing compares to this special moment, when you assemble a new frontpanel with knobs, LEDs and buttons for the first time."
Looks 3hp, so likely a new eurorack module. Paraphonic implies polyphonic through one filter, shared envelope, etc. You can take a look at some of the controls in the pics. It appears to be a mini synth module with Mod, Mixer, VCF, ADSR, VCA, and FX sections. The OSC section is likely offscreen to the left.

Simple Jamming with Intellijel Atlantis and Metropolis , 4ms STS, QPLFO and some 909 Tiptop Audio
Published on Dec 19, 2017 Analogue Zone Showroom / Synths and Studio
"Simple Jamming is a weekly series from the Analogue Zone Budapest showroom with our experienced modular electronic music performer & friend, Ramin Sayyah. The series was created in order to introduce either one particular module or a very special selection of module-combinations to make various kinds of music with them.
A new episode is coming on every week at Analogue Zone's Youtube channel. Ramin walks us through the building blocks of the patch and answering questions.
Tune in every week for the show and feel free to ask questions at the comment section - also let us know if you want to pay a visit to the showroom during the jam: we can accept a few guests too.
LET'S CONNECT!

MOOG SOURCE SN 3580

"This Synth has come from a professional working studio of and typically with most Moog Source’s the membrane is and was the Achilles heel!
The membrane had only one faulty button(store) which was confirmed 100% with my tech by temporary substitute of a known good membrane.
This is where it gets a bit confusing so bear with us 😃
To store a program on the Source you press hold , press and hold down store and then press the required number you want to save to.
In this case the store button is stuck on inside the membrane. Luckily this means you just press hold and the number and it saves fine, it's actually better than the original way of doing it.
However, holding down store and adjusting OSC2 level accesses a hidden function misnamed autotune.
It isn't autotune at all but a sort of fine tune for osc2 largely I believe to allow for warm up pitch errors and monotonicity tolerance issues in the parameter wheel optics(don't ask!)
This means that when adjusting OSC2 level you just adjusted the pitch of OSC2 and had no control of the level. It took a while to work out why this was happening but of course if the store button is stuck on the synth thinks that when you press osc 2 level you are trying to adjust the "autotune".
The way my tech got round this issue was by routing the demux s/h output of the autotune back to the OSC2 level cv input. This works perfectly.
So everything works as normal but the store button is not used (replaced by hold as above) and you cannot access the autotune function.
All Sources take a very long time (up to an hour) to fully stabilise pitch and this one is the same.
It's usable well before this by adjusting the interval parameter slightly as the pitch error doesn't affect scaling. I think the so called autotune parameter was designed to offset this and this is the only minor disadvantage I can see with the mod described above. In any event you would have had to adjust the autotune parameter a few times but this would be global and not per patch.
Overall the Source works really well and sounds great! You can save and recall sounds and all parameters work fine."
