New Stargazer firmware

video upload by Møffenzeef Mødular

"New alternate firmware for Stargazer!
https://github.com/moffenzeefmodular/...

This firmware was designed by Oui Ennui: https://ouiennui.com/

Change log:
1.) The "sub" switch is now for turning quantization on the main oscillator on and off. When down, the stargazer behaves as it normally does as a free running oscillator. When turned up the notes are quantized chromatically from note A0 to A4 in 440hz concert pitch.
2.) The detune knob changes it's behavior when quantize switch is engaged. Now when the switch is activated, it's chromatic range is -2 octaves to +2 octaves in relation to the main oscillator. It will always retail it's harmonic relationship with the root pitch from the main oscillator.
3.) LFO1 now controls the amplitude of the primary oscillator and not filter1 cutoff.
4.) LFO2 now controls the amplitude of the secondary oscillator and not the main volume of the unit.
5.) The overall frequency range of the main and secondary oscillator has been restricted to 27.5hz - 440hz in free running mode. This free running frequency range correlates to the A0-A4 change when quantize is engaged.

***In the "alt" firmware above, the only difference is that the expression pedal is now mapped to the secondary oscillator mix knob instead of the main wavetable selection knob."

"Another big hitting poly synth here, we were able to talk to Marcus Ryle at Superbooth and at NAMM we were fortunate to get a listen with J3PO (Julian Pollack) giving us a sounds only treat.

NAMM 2022 - The Big 3rd Wave Poly Synth Video

video upload by sonicstate

"We made a b-line for the secret hotel suite with the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave, the instrument inspired by the PPG Wave. In fact it actually contains the original Wavetables as well as plenty of high resolution tables, VA waves and a way to make your own.

With 24 voices and a Dave Rossum designed filter, plus an additional SEM filter. Theres a lot to like.

Price will be around $3795 and we should see it around August.

NAMM 22: Pittsburgh Safari Modules

video upload by sonicstate

"Pittsburgh have been working on the Safari range of modules, a series of short run experimental modules pushing their design ideas and testing what works. People seem to love them, but thats because Richard Nicol is a bit of a genius analog designer. Shown here are:
Filter of Crows - filter
Dynamic Controller - Bat
Wolf VCA
Prototype Step Sequencer, drum and percussion modules too

Coming soon to a module or instrument from Pittsburgh."

Check out The Model Cycles and everything else Elektron has to offer here : https://bit.ly/397hx71

Read our Signal Article on the Model Cycles : https://bit.ly/3mi4oe8

Model:Cycles is a six-track groovebox with a sound based entirely on FM synthesis. And while FM is a notoriously complex synthesis technique, Model:Cycles cleverly turns it into something simultaneously intuitive and flexible."

In memory of Dave Smith / THANK YOU for the PROPHET-5 / One of the greatest synths of all time!

video upload by CGMAGIK

"Sad to hear the news of the loss of the great synth pioneer, Dave Smith. As a tribute, I wanted to record a short improvisation featuring his amazing creation - The Prophet-5! Such a beautiful instrument. Here are both the REV3 and REV4 together.

REV3 is going through the TC Electronic FlashbackX4
REV4 is using the Roland RE-301 Chorus Echo (sequence is provided by Five12 Numerology Software)

RIP Dave Smith"

For Dave

video upload by Bloom Music

"Broken hearted today.

I didn't know what else to do to honor Dave Smith than make a tune using just the Prophet this afternoon. All synth sounds are the Prophet 5 Rev 4.

He was an absolute legend and will be missed."
