New Entropic Synth 2018 (Arduino nano & Mozzi library).


Published on Apr 9, 2018 Biyi Amez

"At the heart of Entropic Synth, an Arduino Nano running the Mozzi library. Developed by Tim Barrass, Mozzi is a collection of pre-programmed modules that turn Arduino into a full-fledged synthesizer. The library includes oscillators, filters, and several math objects that enable Arduino to efficiently execute a variety of complex mathematical operations. I must say that I was rather skeptical of the sound quality before trying Mozzi out myself, but the very first sounds came out of my tiny Arduino immediately prove me wrong!

The sound of Entropic Synth is generated through a WavePacket synthesis module, which is essentially modeled after Miller Steven Puckette's example in the PureData tutorials (F14.wave.packet.pd). I have added a number of control options, including the randomization of several parameters, the scale-wise control for the oscillator frequency, and being able to adjust the bitrate of the output to create a nice bit-crusher effect. Using only seven knobs (one of the knobs is simply a passive volume control, while the remaning six are connected to analog inputs on Arduino), the variety of sounds that comes out of this mini synthesizer is very impressive.

Moog system 15 Modular - 901-B vs 921-B oscillator comparison


Published on Apr 9, 2018 RetroLinear

"Tim conducts a quick comparison between Moog Oscillators 901-B and 921-B. This is more or less a collection of Moog modules in a system 15 case. Painstakingly restored @ RetroLinear"

“The knobs are amazing” – Erica Synths presenting their Drum Sequencer @Superbooth from HerrSchneider on Vimeo.

"The long awaited Drum Sequencer by Erica Synths did get a lot attention at last years SUPERBOOTH17. Still being under development this presentation of the module is a great way to get an impression of the workflow of this module. And: “The knobs are amazing.”

Kodek plays some Dub inspired music, with the Drum Sequencer being the heart of his modular system. The all improvised performance proves this sequencer to be a really nice tool to create live music on the fly. Additionally some of the drum modules he uses are soon-to-be-released modules by this busy company from Latvia.

At SUPERBOOTH18 Erica Synths will play another Gesprächskonzert on Saturday at 3:40pm and you can find their Booth E245 in the Foyer."

About the Waldorf Wave
The Waldorf Wave premiered in the early 90s as the most advanced wavetable synthesizer to date. Despite its deep synthesis features, it was remarkably easy to use with its generous offering of knobs, buttons and faders to tweak just about every parameter it had to offer. A truly digital instrument, it still featured a set of analog filters that gave it a warmer sound than what is normally associated with Wavetable instruments. It was found in many well-funded studios of the era since the initial price was close to $10 000. The list of users include a roster of the 90s big electronic producers such as Depeche Mode, Björk, Leftfield, The Orb, Hans Zimmer and many more.

"This one comes with a custom made real leather strap. The Bass Station can operate on batteries so with a strap you can plug in your jack lead and play it live on stage like a keytar!

The good bits: comes with PSU/Strap/Printed Manual.
The bad: The 'Octave Select' buttons require some force to activate. They do work, but considering the age of the unit, perhaps they're just a bit tired!"

Published on Apr 9, 2018 Artifact Electronics

"In this episode we'll have a look at an EML 101 analog synthesizer from the 1970's. Much lesser known than the Minimoog or ARP 2600 it is a great instrument nonetheless. I'll describe some previous repairs and present a brief demo."
