Super Synthesis - 2OPFM pluckin' and...

video by Chris McDowell

"2OPFM is 6HP of really chill FM for your eurorack modular synthesizer, for $75."

via Super Synthesis

2OPFM is a digital 2-operator FM voice in 6HP. It features 2 sine wave oscillators and a decay envelope to control their amplitudes. Perfect for growling percussion and plucky melodies.

: The length of the internal decay envelope. The associated jack is an offset to the slider.

FM: The amount of FM modulation of the carrier. The associated CV input is an offset to the slider.

KHz: The base frequency of the carrier oscillator. The associated CV input is an offset to the pot.

RATIO: The ratio of modulator frequency to carrier frequency.

OP1: The main output.

TRIG: A rising edge triggers the built in decay envelope. This envelope modulates the amplitude of the carrier, as well as the modulator (at a slightly faster rate) Incoming triggers are ignored when the envelope is active, thus allowing for frequency division based on the decay slider.

While the look of 2OPFM has changed, this demo video from version 1 modules still is a great intro to its features. The main addition here is voltage control of the internal envelope :) "

Univox SR-95 Vintage Drum Synthesizer SN 721394

via this auction

"It's a Very Cool Automatic Rhythm Instrument. The SR-95 is analog beat box making at its purest and simplest – press a few buttons, move a few faders, and presto… your own beat, mixed and ready to go! Although it was originally designed for using one rhythm function at a time, musicians quickly realized that by engaging multiple buttons simultaneously, they could build unique, customized beats! Both, mega stars and DIYers used, and continue to use, this machine. As for mega production uses, composers like Jean-Michel Jarre used the Univox in his Yanni-style new age symphonies like Oxygen 2"

UNO Synth Pro and the SSI chip: interview with the creators

video by ikmultimedia

"UNO Synth Pro’s first-class analog sound is achieved by combining a superior design architecture with discrete core oscillators and two filters, one of which is based on a new chip from Sound Semiconductor, Inc. SSI was founded by Dave Rossum and Dan Parks, two members of the team that created the famous SSM chip back in late-‘70s and early-‘80, which brought the development of the first polyphonic analog synths. IK’s Erik Norlander speaks with the two about their legacy and uncovers the significance of the new SSI chip inside UNO Synth Pro."
