AJH Synth Wave Swarm *Turn 1 VCO into 12 or your new "MAKE IT BIGGER" generator*
Published on Aug 10, 2018 DivKidVideo
"TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS BELOW - Here's the new Wave Swarm from AJH Synth. It's a dual 6 stage wave animator that can function as two independent (can do stereo) multi stage waveform animators or one big 12 stage animator. The animation is based on creating shifting versions of the input wave which when stacked with the dry sound or when stacking several stages sounds like mixing several detuned oscillators together. You can play around with each stage to emphasise or minimise the tremolo like sounds from the phase cancellations as the sounds modulate against each other. Typical applications would be turning a saw wave into a super saw but it will also do gorgeous subtle shifts in tone and harmonics with softer sines and triangles too. It will create thicker and almost glitchy effects with already modulating wavetables and complex tones while continuing to track the input wave. Determined to bend and push it beyond the basics I used it as a two distortion device and a weird wonky clock generator too.
TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS
00:00 Hello and previews of what's to come
00:56 Feature run down
01:31 Sound demo - triangle waves - looking at turning triangles to sines and then soft clipping them alongside the 6 stage animation
02:50 Sound demo - saw waves - making super saws! 6 stage and 12 stage animation
04:16 Stereo sources - two oscillators tuned a fifth a part animated independently one in each channel of the Wave Swarm. Looking at independent processing down stream for a wide stereo sound too.
05:53 Animating already complex waves - using the new V-Shape to twist and distort/fold a sine wave into something already complex and moving then letting the Wave Swarm further animate that for unison modulated 'stacks' of the sound. There's also some clipping to round off the wave.
08:14 Animating morphing wavetables - a second patch with more complex already modulating/morphing inputs. We also get into dual layer processing with the two outs here to create more simple pulses then swells of big detuned sound for more interesting patching from a single source.
12:42 Trying to animate drum sounds - also using the clipping stages as a dual (in series) distortion to drive the low end in some drum beats.
14:15 Wave Swarm - the new hot clock module! Ok ... maybe not, but while pushing and pulling this thing around as I often do before filming I managed to get one of the internal LFOs from the animation stages to feedback and 'thump/click' through the output. I used this as an audible percussion source as well as a clock source for clock dividers/multipliers and then made a beat from it. Adding other animation stages in creates a wonky clock that seems to trip over itself. This great as the modules down stream "trip up" and go a bit chaotic.
16:20 Stereo Wave Swarm animation, AB mono additional shaping and a lovely musical drone bathed in Finaliser R-EQ verb."

Synthrotek Analog VCO - All textures, No talk
Published on Aug 9, 2018 File Transfer Protocol
"Except for the obvious acoustic sounding drums, all sounds in this video are produced by the new Synthrotek Analog VCO. It may have been patched through, around or over top of any combination of the following other modules from Synthrotek: FOLD, ROBOTO, VCA, QUADRANGLE, ADSR, STEREO OUT, DLY, VERB, and at one point it was mutated in an FM fashion by a Mother like module from a company that rhymes with rogue.

Brand NEW YAMAHA CX5M FM Synthesizer MSX Computer, Keyboard And New Cartriges

"This is a true music collectors piece. I acquired it from an estate sale and to my surprise is was a brand new, never used CX5M FM Synth computer form 1984.
No only is this a very rare piece, but finding one new? Even Yamaha contacted me about it.
Not only is the core unit brand new, it also comes with two brand new cartridges which are very rare as well.
This is essentially an MSX computer with a synth added inside. Before you ask, yes you can play old MSX game cartridges on it.
It has stereo audio outs, midi in/out and comes with the proprietary keyboard that only works with this. I'm unsure whether the keyboard is new but it looks unused.
The two carts it comes with are a midi multitrack that allows recording multiple tracks and the other cart is very sought after as it's the DX7 voice editing cart that allows you to directly edit your dx7 voices and save them.
This isn't something you'll likely see again brand new from 1984.
I opened carefully only to test it as it's really old. It works perfectly like new. The monitor in the last picture IS NOT INCLUDED and is only to show it's working.
The cable inside is still sealed so I bought a special 5din to rca cable to test with my tv/monitor which I'm throwing in.
I'm also throwing in an upgrade chip that upgrades the firmware which you can install if you choose.
If you're a synth/computer/music collector or enthusiast, don't let this pass you by."

"Comes with original box, manual(s), patch cables, USB cable, power supply and - BONUS - the NS1nanobridge (pictured) which makes this Italian import fully compatible with Eurorack systems. A compact, powerful, fun and surprisingly robust-sounding instrument."We at soundmachines thought about a simple and cheap platform that will transport the main characteristic of a modular analog synthesizer in a small and friendly format, to be well recognised by musicians, makers and tinkerers worldwide. A small, but loyal to its roots, instruments of sound creation. With a digital platform added as a bonus.The soundmachines NS1nanosynth is born.Let’s talk now about dimensions. Because size does matter. Absolutely. We created something that you can extract from your bag, or a big pocket, and start patching, manipulating and definitely and positively playing. On the train? On a plane back home? At your sister’s wedding? Maybe, after all, also on a stage.The entire platform, that is a complete, albeit simple, analog modular synthesizer, is the same height and a little wider than ONE standard 5U synthesizer module. One single module. But on board the soundmachines nanomodular you have a saw core thermally stabilized v/oct VCO, a 12db lowpass and bandpass VCF, two LFOs, one loopable ADSR envelope, a standard VCA, two twistable attenuators, two pot controllers and a plethora (more than a dozen!) of “micro” modules like mixers, multiples, sample and hold, sum/sub blocks, inverters, logic or, and, nand, analog dividers, clock dividers, fixed voltage generators and several ‘sensor blocks’.""
