"Note this is from the last Studio Electronics production batch and has factory-fitted metal-shafts and Davies knobs!"

"This revolutionary all-analog synthesizer module combines two very cool multimode oscillators, sweet modulation options, and a killer amp/mixer section with a real Oberheim SEM-style multimode filter, allowing you to create a universe of creative and compelling tones. A full set of highly tweakable knobs make accessing the wide range of sound the Boomstar SEM has to offer easy. What's more, extremely intelligent CV and MIDI implementation make it easy to add a Studio Electronics Boomstar SEM module to your keyboard or studio rig."

"Boldly following in the footsteps of pioneers such as Moog and ARP, the Oberheim's SEM was one of the first synthesizer modules to feature a multimode filter that allowed artists to choose from highpass, lowpass, notch, and bandpass filters. What's more, this multimode filter could produce wildly varying tonal characteristics, making it easy to get a wide range of sound from an otherwise simple synth. The Studio Electronics Boomstar SEM module gives you the same versatile filter to play with on top of an already sophisticated synth, allowing you to experience this amazing sound in a whole new way."

Analog Synthesizer Demo: The Prophet 6

Published on Mar 10, 2019 Will Padgett

"I’ve been slacking on the YT channel this week, but I am proud to share with you the results of my 2019 Spring Grind—a brand new, immaculate analog synthesizer, the Prophet 6, by Sequential! Designed by Dave Smith himself. I came across an extremely ridiculous discount at my local music retailer, and I had to wait 4 weeks to know if I’d actually get it. And I did!!! Thanks Josh at Guitar Center!!!!!!

This thing sounds incredible! So I edited down about an hour of jamming and tweaking into a short little vid to give you an idea of the sounds this thing can make. These are all unprocessed sounds, meaning there’s no compression, EQ, reverb, or FX—it’s just the sound of the VCO oscillators. And boy, is it smooth! :)

Although the major benefit of a true analog synth like this is that all of the parameters are fully editable from the panel, without any menus/GUI, surfing through presets is a good way to dip your toes into a new instrument. The presets I used here are from the "Old Men of MIDI" Sound Set for the Prophet 6, which is free to download. Here's a link to the full patch list: https://www.sequential.com/wp-content..."

Floats for VCV Rack - Make Noise Maths Emulation

Published on Mar 11, 2019 VCV Rack Ideas

"Here it is - one of the best envelope generator for VCV Rack! Top notch emulation of famous Make Noise Maths hardware will improve your patches like a shot. In this video I'm doing some comparison it with Befaco Rampage and showing my favorite using of this module.
From the Floats page: "Floats is a module that can become anything with creative patching, but its three main uses are as an envelope, LFO, and audio rate oscillator. As an audio rate oscillator, Floats is antialiased through the whole audio range resulting in a stable and warm timbre. As an LFO, Floats can reach times as low as 8.5 hours per cycle! Floats can also be used as a mixer, logic comparator, clock source, envelope follower, low pass gate, complex oscillator, and gate delay."

Audio Damage Enso - looper plugin for AU, AAX, VST, VST3, and iOS AUv3

Published on Mar 10, 2019 Audio Damage, Inc.

via Audio Damage

FEATURES

Full Automatic Looping Engine
Enso's looping engine is simple to learn, but exceedingly powerful, with "one button" looping control, both host-synced and free time.

Dub In Place
Enso can either work like a traditional digital looper, where the input is mixed with the buffer contents, then sent to effects, or like a tape looper, where the effects and speed changes are included in the feedback path.

Sector Crossfading
Define four different start and end points. Crossfade between them, and overdub or re-record within them.

Effects Section
Enso has user-controllable "tape style" saturation and hiss, high- and low-pass filters, and a stereo chorus for thickening and carving your loop.
