Rossum Electro-Music Trident *FIRST PATCH*

Published on Feb 22, 2019 DivKidVideo

"This was a real highlight of the NAMM 2019 footage (I wasn't there personally) and just the thought of a triple oscillator from Dave Rossum (previously of E-Mu, now Rossum Electro-Music) is enough to be excited about. Trident brings in "zing" modulation which is ring modulation with in sync (that's the key for musical / harmonious tones and less so clangorous ones) oscillators, symmetry and phase modulation options and plenty of control and CV inputs to really animate things. So this was the first patch I made when it when into the case and I just wanted to share that right away to show off some of the raw tones and some patches ideas with dual layer LPG control and a little pepper of FX in the background. Full demo coming around the release."

North Coast Synthesis-Dual VC Octave Switch MSK 008/Unboxing and first impressions

Published on Feb 22, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Today the next module that came from Canada straight from the North Coast Synthesis is the Dual VC Octave Switch MSK 008.

This module is a multifunction voltage processor. The module has two channels, the integer number of volts from -2 to +2; a three-position toggle switch that shifts the quantizer boundaries up or down by a volt; and a precision adder (with optional subtraction function).possibilities really open up. An LFO into the quantified input.Combining the two channels, with or without other utility modules, allows more complex melody-shifting effects. And it does not have to be just for oscillator pitch control. The "mid-side" encoder or decoder. With other patching it can be a flip-flop or a wavefolder.This module is available in a DIY or assembled version.It is also worth taking a look at the reading section because founder Matthew Skala publishes interesting articles in series on modular and the his environment !!!"

Roland Vocoder Plus VP-330

via this auction

"This is perhaps the most easy-to-use vocoder ever built with a great sounding synth built in. The VP-330 vocoder section aside, its analog synth voices are an iconic sound all their own, and the strings are similar (but certainly not identical) to the ultra-classic Roland RS-505 string machine.

This particular instrument is in great working/playing condition. All the keys work and the sounds are smooth. It is missing the plastic adjustment cap on the attack and release controls, but it does not hinder you in any way from controlling and could be easily replaced for a few bucks."
