"Four analog CV outputs, Twelve gate outputs, a wide range of MIDI to CV mapping options at a budget price!
CV.OCD is a device which converts MIDI signals to the Control Voltage (CV) and Trigger/Gate signals which are used to control traditional analog synthesizers.

As well as doing this useful bit of “plumbing”, CV.OCD is designed to open up some creative options that go beyond what a simple MIDI-CV converter can usually do. If you get a bit OCD about your CV this could be the box for you!

CV.OCD has four assignable “continuous” analog CV outputs and twelve assignable gate/trigger outputs

It has powerful functionality for generating clock, trigger and non-note gates from MIDI information. For controlling your analog equipment via MIDI you are probably not going to get as much bang for your buck with anything else!

"The synth is in very good vintage condition. Clean, with minimal cosmetic wear for a synth of this age. Mostly, just stand rash on the bottom, and a few small scratches and dings as expected. All keys, buttons, sliders, and wheels work. Aftertouch works. All indicator lights work. Output and headphone jacks work. Sustain pedal input works. MIDI in and out works. No known issues, other than the fact that it’s missing (2) rubber feet on the bottom, and few small hairline cracks in the plastic to the right of the keybed. See photos for more detail.

The original battery (which was soldered to the circuit board) was replaced a few years ago with a new battery and a battery holder, which will make replacing the battery in the future a snap—no soldering required! (though, the original battery lasted 30+ years, mind you!)

The power switch recently failed, so I replaced it with an OEM switch from Yamaha. This is a common failure for a synth of this age. The new switch should provide years of faithful service!"

Synth Funk on the Behringer Model D


Published on Feb 12, 2018 snolan1990

"I got hold of a Model D today so I thought I would throw something together quickly to show what it can do in terms of funky sounds.

This is nothing special just a little jam in the first hour or so of getting the thing out of the box. Suffice to say I am impressed with the sound of the thing!

Bass - Behringer Model D
Lead - Behringer Model D
Synth Pad - Roland JX-3P
Arpeggio - Novation Bass Station
Drums - Sequential Circuits Drumtraks
Synth Drum - Moog Slim Phatty

Anything that is sequenced was sequenced via the Akai ASQ10."

Tasty Chips Electronics GR-1 -- preliminary noodlings


Published on Feb 12, 2018 Nice and Synths

"Hello! Thanks for watching this video, or at least considering watching. This is yet another noodling video with a new toy. The Tasty Chips GR-1 granular synthesizer. A granular synthesizer breaks an audio file into tiny pieces of wheat, or on occasion barley. All audio is direct from the GR-1 into a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 with no additional processing (other than normalization.) My GR-1 was on firmware version 1.1.8 for this video.

I thought it might be useful to hear the original sample before the GR-1 patch that uses it, so I included them in the video. Hope its not too annoying.

The GR-1 *can* process live audio, but I need to get a suitable USB audio interface to try it. Another feature of the GR-1 I have yet to try are the two CV inputs. This could open up some fun control possibilities with modular gear.

A nice thing is that every parameter on the GR-1 is controllable via MIDI CC. This is shown at 7:15 where the sample position and filter cutoff are controlled with the Casio XW-P1's step sequencer control tracks. Not that you can really tell, it's not a good example of MIDI control really with the arpeggiator happening. I should've made a clearer example of that.

Apologies if the audio and video don't align exactly, I tried my best to line them up. :)"

Totoro synth prototype wiggling


Published on Feb 12, 2018 ktozjadlciastka

"This is not a demo. It is a recording from a debugging session of my new synth. Some sounds can be really nasty!

A few words about Totoro:
- 1x advanced generator: audio/LFO rates, square/saw/triangle waves, target - filter input or filter cutoff,
- 1x simple generator: audio rate squarewave, simple tuned keyboard with 3 buttons,
- 1x VCF - with 2 resonance settings and cutoff CV,
- generators balance control.

Device uses only 1 quad opamp and considering its simplicity, sounds great! More info avaliable soon @ syntherjack.net"

Review of the Prophet Rev2 by Dave Smith - is it the analog poly synth for you?


Published on Feb 12, 2018 loopop

"Dave Smith has been making synths for 40 years, and traditionally has sold them at a relatively high price. With the Rev2, an update to the original Prophet 08 analog poly synth, that has changed.

The 8 and 16 voice keyboard versions of the Rev2 cost just like the newly announced Korg Prologue, but have substantially more modulation options. The 8 voice Rev2 costs as much as the 8 voice Novation Peak, but is multi-timbral.

Has Dave Smith come out with a "value" poly synth?

This clip is a comprehensive review and overview of all the features an options of the new Prophet Rev2."
