"Originally released in 1982, the CS-01 has become a classic choice for thick monophonic bass lines. The simple interface with limited controls makes this a very user friendly unit and features the following specifications:
12db resonant voltage-controlled filter
Triangle, saw, square, pulse, and PWM wave forms
ADSR envelope generator
Glissando & portamento LFO controls"
"In the beginning of the 80's Kawai began manufacturing synthesizers under the company name of Teisco. Their early designs resulted in synths like the S110F above. The Synthesizer 110F is an upgraded S60-F, with dual analog VCO's and an updated look. It has a small but usable 37 note keyboard. Classic analog sawtooth, square, and triangle waveforms plus noise are on-board and can be mixed with external sounds run through the 110F's filters and envelopes. The oscillators can be de-tuned for duophonic textures or phatter leads and bass sounds.
There's plenty of modulation ability and classic analog effects in the 110F to really liven up the sound. There's an LFO which can modulate the VCO and VCF and can trigger the EGs. The VCF resonant low pass filter is great too. There's also a VCA section with Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release controls and finally there's a Hi-Pass filter. There is also a portamento effect, a ring modulator, vibrato and sample-and-hold for those classic analog synth effects and tricks! Lots of pretty blinking lights, a sleek and straight-forward layout and very nice analog bass, lead and synth sounds are all a part of the Synthesizer 110F experience."
"This is a tutorial demonstrating the experience of morphing through the wavetable map of the 1979 Dual Algorithmic Oscillator. This modular synthesis module is an adaptation based directly off of the brilliantly designed Braids module by Émilie Gillet of Mutable Instruments.
Here I am scrolling the X and Y axis separately and then together to give a sense of the 256 wavetable timbres achievable with just this one algorithm. The five note sequence is being generated from the Sequential Voltage Source of a 208e BEMI Music Easel. The occasional octave shifts are generated from the 218e Touch Activated Voltage Source. The reverb is the spring reverb from the Easel and the module is using its built-in VCA and Attack/Decay Envelope Generator."
"So here's the Squid Salmple from ALM Busy Circuits. It's an 8 channel Eurorack sampler that can record, mangle, modulate and playback audio or CV. It's fast and immediate with quick on the fly recording options and an easy interface that very quickly became a fast and intuitive way to work with both audio and CV. There's a phenomenal bank of samples that comes with it on the USB stick that's really well put together from a range of artists and sources. You've got 5 outputs, 3 assignable (to multiple destinations) CV inputs, 8 trigger inputs and plenty of control and options. I'd love to hear what you think about the module and the video so leave a comment and let's chat. Skip around with the timing index below if you see fit and cheers for watching!

"Well, making this video took longer than I expected, and only because I spent more time playing and enjoying this little device than actually recording... The MicroFreak from Arturia is such a nice companion to VCV Rack, able to connect in various levels at the same time like sequencing voices in VCV, acting as a Midi controller for hands-on experience tweaking parameters in VCV, and even receive sequences and modulation from VCV.
Thank you, Arturia for sending me the MicroFreak!
