Analogue Solutions Announces Colossus #4

I almost skipped posting this as the only news here is there's a 4th production run of the Colossus. I guess it's interesting knowing how many are out there. What's also interesting is I always assumed the Colossus was either built in a limited initial run, or it was built per order only. This is a mammoth endeaver and each one costs 25,000 GBP which comes out to $35,000 US. It is $4500 less than this little Sennheiser VSM201 Vocoder!

Note, the images in this post appear to be stock. You can find demos of the Colossus in previous posts here.

Press release follows:
""Analogue Solutions announces forthcoming fourth run of Colossus supersized synth that trips back to the future of analogue

KINGSWINFORD, UK: following a showstopping showcase during its introduction at SynthFest UK 2019 in Sheffield, British boutique electronic instruments innovator Analogue Solutions is proud to announce a forthcoming fourth run of Colossus — its supersized synth that trips back to the future of analogue, albeit symbolising so much more than a powerful analogue ‘workstation’ with no fewer than 12 VCOs (Voltage-Controlled Oscillators) beating at its monumental musical heart, rather representing art, architecture, and superlative studio furniture at its hand-built best by taking its design cues from the colossal classic that is the EMS Synthi 100, although no Synthi circuit was cloned or copied in making the destined-to-be-classic Colossus fit for a new generation of high-flying owners — as of February 15…

White MacBeth M5N Analog Semi-Modular Synthesizer

via this auction

"This is the largest, heaviest, and most impressive synthesizer I had in the studio. It is made in a rugged steel case and although it's appearance is like an Arp 2600, it sounds nothing like it. This is the prize of the MacBeth offerings, and was limited to only around 50 made in white, and perhaps 50 in black. This one has no serial number, as it was made as a demo unit back in the early 2000's."

1985 Crumar Bit One Vintage Synth w/ Tauntek Mod

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This synth has recently been serviced and had the Tauntek Mod installed so you can control midi cc remotely.

I've noticed that the very high notes sound a little softer than the rest of the keyboard. This may have something to do with velocity sensitivity. It's only happening near the top octave of the keyboard.

This Crumar Bit One is a quirky and dope sounding poly synth. Com Truise calls the Crumar Bit One his "secret weapon."

Clouds, Seeds, Crowds & Beads | Mutable Instruments #Beads​

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"First impressions with the brand new, latest and final module of Mutable Instruments. It started off around 2017 as Clouds V2 but ended up as 'Beads' (which make a necklace). Make sure you manage your expectations, because this is not a Clouds 2.0, it's a completely different module with its own character that also happens to be a 'texture synthesizer', a granular synth that cuts fragments from existing audio, reorders is and creates completely new voices, noise and sonic whirlwinds.

There's definitely more to come once I figured out all its sweetspots and get predictable results. Maybe there's an easter egg in it."
