4 Operator Analog FM Synthesizer & FM Tutorial

Published on Jun 8, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"We had the Intellijel Rubicon 2 through-zero oscillators in, so we decided to build a ridiculous modular frequency modulation synthesizer with four of them. They are routed through a 4MS VCA Matrix for easier routing of FM 'algorithms'. A Quadra and Make Noise Maths are used to generate envelopes and LFOs that can modulate FM amount. Since we had this synthesizer put together we decided to make a quick tutorial about how FM synthesis works.

Sequencers & Synths: Polyend seq, iPad (AUM,Kronecker, Zeeon, Model D, Unique), keystep

"knackered at the end of a long week just kicking back and having some fun.

The sequencing technique with the Seq occurred to me earlier in the week after looking at the monome grid and how people are using it.....

everything going into the iPad via USB3 adapter & a little powered hub"

Advanced Vertical Processor by Ministry of Science

Per posting guidelines all posts have to feature demos of specific synths. That said, posting this one for that image. It reminds me of the Bahn Sage and Seekers SMS 2000.

Update: one track is Waldorf Micro-Q with the Roland CM-32P.

00:00 First Movement
03:35 Anti-Phase Boundary
08:13 Nobody Was a Stranger
09:44 Hydrocorzine
12:42 Suddenly Perfectly Clear
16:12 I Saw You Through the Window
19:38 Here Comes the Future

All tracks composed arranged and recorded by Stuart C. Thomson

Rebel Technology CLK Demo

Published on Jun 8, 2018 Rebel Technology

via Rebel Technology

"CLK is a 4HP triple clock generator that outputs three synchronised clocks. It comprises of a master clock and two dual function multiplier/dividers. Turn clockwise to multiply, anti-clockwise to divide. The outputs are always perfectly synchronised. Use it to feed several trigger sequencers or to generate instant ‘four on the floor’ style patterns.

The top knob sets the master clock, ranging from 40 to 200 BPM. The top jack outputs the master clock as 16th notes.

The middle and bottom knobs either multiply or divide the master clock, depending on whether the knob is turned clockwise (multiplication) or anti-clockwise (division) from the centre position. At 12 o’clock they output the same clock as the master, that is to say they multiply / divide by 1.

The middle knob values are 1 in the centre, then 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 times as you move away from 12 o’clock.

The bottom knob outputs 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 or 24 times multiplication or division.

tbd: output diagram, per multiplier, per output."

verbos harmonic oscillator #03 natural gate

Published on Jun 8, 2018 Elinch

"the piece builds up slowly, please take some time while listening :-).

1. 2 ambient sounds /// sampleplayer orthogonal devices er-301 & morphagene (rings / zvex instant lo-fi junky / tapografic delay)
2. seq /// verbos harmonic oscillator (sequenced by voltage block) / rapid elephants natural gate / zvex instant lo-fi junky / mutable instruments clouds
3. bass 01 /// sinus Bosc machine orthogonal devices er-301 (sequenced by voltage block)
4. bass 02 /// sinus Bosc machine orthogonal devices er-301 (sequenced by voltage block)
5. saw /// verbos harmonic oscillator
4. strings /// make noise morphagenes with different notes (strings from cubasis, processed with zvex instant lo-fi junky) / er 301 delay
6. seq /// make noise sto (a little bit out of tune, it was hot today :-) / rapid elephants natural gate / zvex instant lo-fi junky / mutable instruments clouds

recorded live with tascam dr 100. no audio processing. for the best listening experience listen to the video with headphones or good speakers.

my first ep with my five favorite pieces is planned at bandcamp for the end of august. If you have personal favorites for the sixth piece, let me know."
