"Back in 2006, Synthesizers.com offered a "pay-as-you-go" Entry System plan: pay upfront they shipped you a 22-space cabinet and a handful of modules, and then for $120/month they'd keep sending you new modules. I got 6 modules in and lost interest, but I held onto the system for 15 years.

Recently I took the time to dust off the modules and re-rack them in a carpeted 19" 5U rack that fits all 6 of the modules and PSU in a more... approachable form factor. It's still very heavy, but much easier to lug around than the original MDF cabinet. This is a complete synth voice, including:
Q104 MIDI interface
Q106 Oscillator with PWM, linear and exponential FM, and simultaneous sine, triangle, saw, ramp, and pulse outputs
Q108 VCA with switchable linear/exponential response and inverted output
Q124 Multiples (passive)
Q109 Envelope Generator with adjustable ADSR segments
Q107 State Variable Filter with 1V/oct and linear FM, CV over resonance, a two-signal mixer, and simultaneous outputs for high-, band-, notch- and low-pass modes
The PSU is also way overpowered, as it was intended to run nearly 4x the modules (22 instead of 8), so it would be possible to build up or down with additional 5U racks. (This one is the Procraft 5U rack at 9" depth from Pro Speaker Parts, which can be had new for $71.50 as of this writing.)

Comes with 8 heavy-duty Synthesizers.com patch cables and and 8 light-weight Hosa patch cables, which is more than enough for this setup. I'm listing this as excellent because it is in great shape for its age. The only thing "wrong" with it is that some of the panel screws are a bit rusty. They're easily replaceable and don't affect the unit at all."

Pro 3 + Subharmonicon: Do They Fit Together?

video upload by Synthetic World 859

"Today I wanted to try my Moog Subharmonicon as a jam companion for keyboard playing on the Sequential Pro 3. It's failed before, so why would it work this time? Because I used an external effect! The Subharmonicon is running through my TipTop Audio Echoz eurorack delay, which rocks. It made all the difference in the world and set the tone for a super fun session."

Faselunare VEGA 4 Voice Eurorack Drum Module

You can find a SOUNDMIT preview demo posted back in March here.

"VEGA is the first module of the italian company Faselunare. Is a 6HP, 4 Voices drum module in Eurorack format. VEGA has 4 digital voices tailored for drum sounds, each voice works both in synthesis and with samples uploaded on the onboard SD card.

His unique color coded user interface, shrink the module at only 6HP, thanks to the RGB encoders, LEDs and buttons, you can access easily 12 parameters per voice, 5 presets and a very useful mute function for each voice.

VEGA has 4 Trigger inputs (one for each voice), 1 Random input which randomly triggers individual voices and a high quality audio output.

Why VEGA?

Here at FASELUNARE (Moon-phase in English), we have a passion for space and sci-fi, Francesco's Stage name has always been Urbanspaceman and together with Daniele he played and released some records as the "Space Aliens From Outer Space".

So that's why our projects have names inspired by science and science fiction!

If you look at an image of the Lyra constellation, you will notice that the 4 buttons of our module are positioned exactly like the 4 stars: Vega (α Lyrae, the brightest), γ Lyrae, β Lyrae and δ Lyrae."

WMD Kraken - Snare Synthesizer In-Depth Demonstration

video upload by Patchwerks Seattle

One more video below.

"In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) of Patchwerks shares an in depth look at the new WMD Kraken.

Order the Kraken here.

From WMD: 'No samples, 100% digital synthesis with the ability to make realistic snare drums of all sizes, shapes, materials, and colors. Similar to Crucible, Kraken uses a network of classic synthesis blocks like delay, digital filters, and noise to create a very unique resonator.

'Crack-in' to the snare drum sound you're into most by adjusting parameters that corelate to physical drum properties such as shell type and size, head tightness, amount of overtone, and how tight and bright the snares sound.

You like snare samples? Great! Although Kraken does not use any recordings to generate sound, you can get a perfectly repeatable snare sound, similar to a sampler by using digital noise to generate the sound of the "snares".

Want your snare to sound more realistic? Try analog noise to imitate the subtle difference of a drummer hitting the snare slightly different on each hit.

Perfect Pitch... kind-of. Optional pitch shifter on the output widens the sonic palette as well as the frequency range, while imparting a unique character of it's own, reminiscent of old school samplers and pitch shifter pedals. Pitch knob and CV input take control of the pitch shifter when in this mode.

Wreck the ship with the Wreck switch and CV input. Three different distortion characters push the envelope that much further with an analog style gained up hard clipping, wavefolding, and bit depth reduction. At some shell settings, gain gets loud like running a snare mic through a distortion pedal. The wave folder sounds like over-the-top compression with lots of high frequency content,. The bit depth reduction setting lets you dial in a desired amount of "vintage" digital artifacts. Moving the switch to these different modes is only a preview. Use the Wreck CV input for the most control and variety in sound.

Kraken is begging to be sequenced. Use the Head, Rim, and Accent gate inputs to start your basic rhythm of hits, sidesticks, rimshots and accented sounds. Sequence the Velocity input with a variable CV source to bring the pattern to life and put the drummer behind the kit.'
