Playing Shofar on Rosh Hashana and Modular Synthesizer Experiments

CatSynth TV

"Shana Tova! We present shofar, the traditional horn played on Rosh Hashana. We demonstrate the traditional shofar blasts: the Tekiah, Shevarim, and T'ruah. We then process them through several of our synthesizer modules for a unique (and unorthodox) experience. Modules used include the Strymon Magneto, Qubit Prism, and Buchla Red Panel 158 oscillator.

We wish you all a joyous and sweet new year, and please let us know if you have any thoughts or comments on this video.

Kawai K5000R Advanced Additive Synthesis Rack SN 602005 w/ USB Drive

via auction

"Selling due to lack of use, I have the fantastic Kawai K5000R Advanced Additive Synthesiser, and this one is even more rare in having not only the ME-1 patch memory expansion... but also a USB floppy emulator allowing using standard FAT-format USB sticks to load/save, instead of old disks! It's one of the good emus, which can load/save directly to USB, instead of needing disk images. An entire 1000 folders per USB stick can be usable as virtual disks at any time; you just select one then read/write it."

"This thing works great. The speakers work and to my knowledge there are no issues with functionality. The only thing that doesn't work is the signal input. There are a few slider caps that have broken off but I saw replacements can be had for pretty cheap... The power cable is included as well as a rigged cable my synth tech made to plug into the Moog accessory port allowing for CV and Gate inputs, which greatly expands what this thing can do."

Introducing SUPERCRITICAL Neutron Flux 8 pole Variable Character Filter

Supercritical Synthesizers

"The new Supercritical “Neutron Flux” 8 Pole Variable Character Filter is a 12hp skiff friendly Eurorack filter module with a stereo analog core and digital control over it. The digital control allows the core to be shaped almost endlessly, taking on the character of almost any classic filter, and gives the filter the ability to explore sounds that have never been heard before.

The controls are familiar filter module controls (cutoff, bipolar FM, mode, drive) with some added spice and no complexity. The new features come in with these controls:

Character: This control blends between five vintage influenced classic filter characters: Fat, Crisp, Liquid, Sour and Mean. Coming later in a firmware update, the Neutron Flux will also have two user banks for more specialized filter characters which can be replaced via audio update.

Overdrive: You can switch on the drive circuit for a +20dB boost and have the drive pot sweep from clean via warm saturation to extremely hard distortion.

Stereo: This control spreads the cutoff between L and R channels and induces drift. This way a mono signal can be split into wide stereo.

Two 4 pole filter cores: These can be run in stereo, mono to stereo or chained as a 8 pole mono filter for almost LPG-like steep slope. Both of them have their own drive circuits so you can have the overdrive stage in the front, in between or both.

The module can be used in many different ways. It can do classic LP/HP/BP filtering. It can self-oscillate with different waveforms. It can provide analog warmth and it can process audio from your DAW. It can act as a stereo distortion. It can spread your mono signal to a wide spatial stereo soundscape. It can do formants and other wild characters. It can do audio-rate deep FM (1V/oct and FM CV’s are all analog). It can behave nicely or get out of control.

It can do almost anything that an analog filter could ever do. Combined in a single unit.

The filter is priced at €495 and will ship in October.

The circular logo is designed by Tomi Leppänen http://tomileppanen.com

This project is a part of R&D project funded by European Regional Development Fund and European Social Fund."

Dreadbox Hypnosis w/ Yamaha DX7 Synth + Time Based Effects

Perfect Circuit

"The Dreadbox Hypnosis has a design style that matches the Yamah DX7 so we thought the two would be perfect together! The Hypnosis is a multi effects unit with three time based effects and preset storage.

The first effect is an analog bucket brigade Chorus/Flanger modulated short delay effect. The second is a digital delay that has three modes: clean, BBD and tape. The last effect is a spring reverb which you can see in the window of the Hypnosis, lit up by pink light.

‘These Songs Are Obsolete’ - New EP From LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER - WAITING FOR THE WORLD TO END

New EP from LMNC. Spot the MEGA DRONE/KiloDrone in the video above.

You can find the release here.

The press release:

‘These Songs Are Obsolete’ EP
NEW EP + SINGLE OUT NOW

Musician, producer and inventor Sam Battle, aka LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER returns today with his new EP ‘These Songs Are Obsolete’ and accompanying video for single ‘Waiting For The World To End’. He also announces his plans to open a museum before the end of 2020, ‘The Museum of Everything Else’ will be home to many of his creations along with other retro technology and musical inventions.

LMNC’s new EP features previous singles Desperado Vespa, Daydreamer, Stand And Deliver, and his last single Shock Horror alongside this new single and additional tracks Safety, Viva Forever and Stand and Deliver Excerpt.
Lead track Waiting For The World to End is an aptly titled focus track, a confrontational yet wildly catchy anthem for the current climate. It was written in 2019 and is accompanied by an incredible action movie style music video which LMNC co conceived with Johnny Goddard of Youth Hymns who directed it, and was shot during lock down in Ramsgate, England. The video see’s Sam trying to single handily save the world from a catastrophic event.
When asked about the EP, LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER says “These songs are obsolete is just talking about the constant progression in technology, leaving behind

so many bits of tech year by year that is still perfectly useable. I have a fascination with obsolete technology; it’s what I use in my daily life and I wrote and recorded these songs on obsolete tech, sort of trying to show that you don’t’ need the latest gizmo's to make and record music.”

He continues “I love obsolete tech so much I’m working on opening a museum filled with it, it’s going to be called The Museum of Everything Else which should be opening in late 2020, it will showcase many strange pieces of obsolete tech as well as machines I’ve built such as the furby organ and the Gameboy megamachine, it even has the latest machine that I built directly onto the wall of the museum last month called the KILODRONE, which is a 4 metre by 3 metre 1000 oscillator synthesizer, pretty sure it’s a world record!!” See the Kilodrone here.

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER released his debut EP in 2018 and has been playing sold out live shows across the UK and Europe including a triumphant headline show at London’s XOYO. He’s been building up a massive online following since 2017 with his online inventions and has over 350,000 followers and over one hundred million views on YouTube alone.
