New GS Music Zeus Analog Polyphonic & Apollo Mini Desktop Synthesizers

Zeus analog polyphonic synthesizer demo Published on Sep 21, 2019 GS Music

"A short demo of the sounds that can be achieved with Zeus, the analog polyphonic synthesizer made by GS Music."

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

New synths from GS Music who brought us the Apollo II desktop synth & the Stochastic Inspiration Generator eurorack module. Pics and (Google translated) details of the Apollo Mini follow via http://www.gsmusic.com.ar.

No additional details on the Zeus are up as of this post. Update:details are in:

"Zeus is a multitimbral analog polyphonic synthesizer featuring substractive synthesis. The sound generation is entirely analog. Each voice has two voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), a mixer, a voltage controlled amplifier (VCA). The control signals on each voice are digitally generated by a microcontroller, which is capale of processing three low frequency oscillators (LFO) and two ADSR envelopes (EG). This synthesizer is still a prototype.

Zeus interface was designed to be intuitive with all the controls on the panel. It also features a graphic display to show the different parameters and curves. For example, it can show the envelope curves.

"The GS Apollo Mini is an analog subtractive synthesis synthesizer. The sound is generated in a totally analog way, with two voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), a mixer, a voltage controlled filter (VCF) and a voltage controlled amplifier (VCA). The control signals are digitally generated by a microcontroller, which is capable of processing two low frequency oscillators (LFO) and one envelope (EG) of the ADSR type.

The Gs Apollo Mini interface was designed to be simple and intuitive. It has 18 knobs and 3 buttons. It allows to generate a great variety of sounds.

Analog Kick Drum & Big Muff Fuzz Demo (Feat Jomox ModBase 09 Eurorack Drum Module)

Published on Sep 21, 2019 Sound Provider

"I m testing here the Jomox ModBase 09 Analog Kick Drum in the in my good old and Famous Electro Harmonix Big Muff for future Techno / Rave / Hard Techno sound bank.

In this very simple patch I use the tiptop audio Circadian Rhythm aka the "trigger sequencer techno monster" who trig the Jomox Bass Drum Module .

Between the Kick module and the Big muff (and it s very important to keep the signal more "clean") I use the Diy module from ADDAC , the 200PI PEDAL INTEGRATOR . This small utility allows 2 different chains of pedals to be independently connected to modular synthesizer.The Send channels attenuate the synth level to instrument level. The Return channels amplify the signal from instrument to synth level."

"Messing about with the Driftbox J & R sound machine team. It does give one a lot of obnoxious synth noise potential. The mono drift box R is stereo spit to the two channel input on the J the, the J jay has its own pair of VCA and the R is run on hold all the panning FX are the J's VCA's"
