"The teisco s-100p is a monophonic synthesizer not unlike the Roland sh1000 and the Yamaha sy-1. Although you have a little bit less control over the sound than with its competitors the s-100p makes up for it with its unique flanger and built-in spring reverb. Its a blast to play with and has a ton of character. It has 32 presets, a brilliance fader (lowpass), pitchbend, portamento/glissando, modspeed and Arps famous aftertouch sensors. With the aftertouch you can control a variety of effects such as, growl, vibrato, pitchbend and the brilliance."
Not the best pics but you don't see these often. This appears to be the first Bogus Noise Speak & Math featured on the site. You can find a few demos of the Bogus Noise Speak & Spell in previous posts here.
Haven't seen the I/O Expander before. Note the listing does not mention if it's for the expander only, or both. Check with the seller on eBay if interested.
"In this video, we take a look at the Animation Lane feature on the Modal Electronics Argon8 and Cobalt8 Series Synthesizers. Animation Lanes are a powerful tool to easily help enhance and manipulate all of your patches."
I explore quite a few techniques in this patch. The foundation is a minor chord progression built around a diad patched in stereo (root left and 3rd right). I wanted to use similar timbres for the voices producing root and 3rd. The root comes from the wavefolder output of a Neóni which is modulated by a rhythmic LFO. The 3rd is a TZFM pair pitched from the Tš-L modulating a second Neóni. The index ratio is modulated by a second rhythmic LFO.
Self patching an øchd produces the rhythmic LFO signals that become the natual tempo and feel of the patch. I play the progression manually from the Harmonàig as the rhythms are not rigidly locked.
The 5th output of the Harmonàig controls a Tòna from which the square wave output is combined with the root Neóni's squarewave via the XOR comparator on the eãs. XOR processing of square waves is mathematically the same as ring-modulation/4-quadrant multiplication of the two square wave signals. Sidebands are produced resulting in a richer more complex tone. As the chord voicings mostly form a perfect 5th interval between root and 5th, the resulting signal remains tonally stable. Slight detuning of the 5th allowing for beating to broaden the timbre.
I low-pass filter this new voice and share it equally between left and right to form a common mono signal for the patch.
The gate from the Harmonàig triggers an ADSR from the Cèis. TRIG mode is engaged to force completion of the attack phase. This envelope modulates two aspects of the same signal. The top voice of a Cš-L acts as an LFO. This LFO frequency is controlled by the envelope while the signal's depth is simultaniously controlled by the same envelope. The processed LFO controls the cutoff frequency of the I-ō47 which is low-pass filtering the XOR signal. When a note is played on the Harmonàig the filter cutoff will "wobble" with a dynamic rate and depth."
"Arturia just updated the software for their popular MicroFreak affordable digital synth to version 4.
Its unusual and to be commended that Arturia continue to support hardware, adding extra functions and tweaks even after more than two years since its release."
The Q169 Oscillator++ module combines two audio oscillators offering an amazing array of cross-modulation possibilities, along with an LFO, envelope generator and sample-and-hold functions - all gracefully organized on a triple-wide 5U panel.
"We often get asked 'What is Noisebug?' and 'What do you guys do here?' Or 'What is this place?' So we’ve finally attempted to answer these questions in our new 30-second TV Spot.
When making it, we drew much inspiration from the trailer for the 1973 film SOYLENT GREEN, which happens to take place in NYC 2022.
Since it will only be airing on TV local to the LA area, we want to share it with our global audience, as well."
