VSL prototype CEM3340 single VCO : Demo 1

Published on Mar 25, 2019 Vintage Synthlab

"CEM3340 based single VCO, precision analog, high quality, with HS+/-, SS1/2, LIN/EXP FM, and 5 independent waveform outputs : sine, triangle, ramp, square / PWM, sub.

Price: TBD
Availability: Stay tuned via VSL social media (IG, YT, FB or vintagesynthlab.com )

In this first demo video, we illustrate just how accurate our CEM3340 VCO design is. All analog, precision trim-pots, high quality ICs, high quality film caps and 0.1% resistors used in critical circuits ...even those areas that other designs overlook!)

RANGE switch: LFO-1; LFO-2; 64', 32', 16', 8', 4', 2'

CLUTCH switch: when yellow (default) allows RANGE switch to operate freely; when red (engaged) latches RANGE switch to current selection. Switch can be rotated without affecting VCO, until released (push of the CLUTCH switch again... i.e. toggles between both modes).

HARD SYNC features: Hard Sync +, Hard Sync can be engaged independently.

SOFT SYNC features: SS1 and SS2 mode allows negative sync signal to reset VCO (tri-core). SS2 mode is weaker, however both will allow the VCO to interact in interesting ways with ext mod sources (as seen in this video demo)."

1997 Propellerhead ReBirth (RB-338) Techno Micro Composer "Believe the unbelievable" Brochure

You can find the full brochure and a write-up over at Retro Synth Ads.

"Propellerhead ReBirth (RB-338) Techno Micro Composer 'Believe the unbelievable' four page colour brochure from 1997.

Full disclosure - I'm a huuuuuge Reason fan. I have a great auto-load template set up that opens with two TBL3 303 emulators, and two Kongs - one with 808 sounds and one with 909 sounds. Great for when I'm on the road. Or in bed.

So, you can't be surprised that I was a huge ReBirth fan way back when as well."
