DEMO 2 - STG Soundlabs: The Radiophonic One | Matt Chadra

Published on Feb 6, 2019 ClavAnother

"This second look at the Radiophonic One synthesizer made by STG Soundlabs is more focused on a minimalist view and plays around with the fabulous Sea Devils Filter in self-oscillation mode, the new .VCO module as an LFO, and features the Envelope Generator for some blippy rhythms.

My initial intention was to do something more melodic, but I quickly got sidetracked with some sound effects. It was a bunch of fun, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did."

SYNTH-WERK SW905 5U Reverberation Module Now Available

via SYNTH-WERK

"The SW905 Reverberation Unit utilizes a dual spring type acoustic delay line to produce a succession of decaying echoes of an audio signal. A single panel control determines the ratio between the amounts of reverberated and non-reverberated signals that appear at the output jack. In addition the SW905 offers two modes of operation:

Regular mode
the relative amount of the echo signal and direct signal can be continuously changed from 100% direct signal to 100% echo signal.

„Emerson“ modification
the output signal is continuously mixed with the direct signal and the knob on the faceplate controls the level of the mix. The direct signal is passed through unaffected.

Both modes of operation can be selected on the board of the module.

MUSICAL APPLICATION
When a dynamically varying signal is applied to the input of the SW905, the output will consist of a series of closely spaced echoes, the subjective effect of which is similar to that of reverberation of sound. When a static signal is applied to the input of the SW905, the output will also be static. The SW905 will perform in this application like a formant filter, strongly coloring the timbre of any signal with appreciable harmonic content."

Update: for those curious why there isn't a switch for the two modes on the front pannel, I asked SYNTH-WERK and they replied with the following: "As you know we reproduce the Moog modules 100% like the original and therefore it is our policy not to add additional functionality on the front panel. We have a lot of customers using SYNTH-WERK modules to complete an existing Moog System and this requires 100% Moog from the outside and the inside.

And…You are right the Emerson Moog had a modified 905 including an additional Input…But…We are always discussing what is the right approach.

The next level of SYNTH-WERK will be an answer to the question „what would have happened if the Modular 900 series would still be alive with Robert Moog?“ How would actual modules look like…And we have already a couple of answers."

New AI Synthesis AI006 Stomp Box Adapter Eurorack Module

Uploaded on Dec 30, 2018 AI Synthesis

via AI Synthesis

"AI Synthesis has released its fifth module, the AI006 Stomp Box Adapter in both a built and guaranteed version, as well as in kit and PCB/Panel format. The AI006 stomp box adapter provides simple, inexpensive “set and forget it” conversion between modular signals and guitar level signals, allowing users to get the most from their stomp boxes when interfacing with their modular system, in only 2HP. Following the tradition of the other eurorack modules, the AI001 Multiple,AI002 Mixer, and AI003 Looping ADSR, the module has a full video how-to build guide. Unlike some DIY companies that focus solely on providing kits, AI Synthesis has an educational mission and our kits and documentation are aimed at those who have never held a soldering iron. PCBS are professionally manufactured, and all panels are aluminum and designed by Grayscale.
