So High So Low by Analog Music Company on synthesizers and drum machines

video upload by Stazma

"Today I show you some cool stuff with the amazing new pedal by Analog Music Company (based in Kiev, Ukraine), the 'So High So Low'.

Have fun!

More infos on @analogmusiccompany5199 website: https://www.analogmusic.company/shsl"

So High So Low high pass/low pass filter and preamp based on MS-20 filter and Moogerfooger preamp.

SHSL FEATURES

High Pass & Low Pass Filters
High Pass and Low Pass resonant filters inspired by MS-20 with separate cutoff and resonance controls. Filters are arranged in series and have controllable resonance. Past the oscillation point each filter begins to self oscillate and can be used as a CV controlled oscillator.

Preamp
SHSL has a dedicated preamp section which is inspired by Moogerfooger pedals providing the beautiful colouring to the sound. The pre section can operate in array of modes from light saturation to pushing the amp into overdrive/distortion territory.

CV & EXP controls
Separate CV inputs for each filter allow to control the the pedal with the external controllers like Korg SQ-1 or Arturia devices. You can also sync it with your modular or semi modular system. Separate expression inputs for each filter allow controlling the SHSL with the expression pedal.

Runs from 9V DC (standard Boss type) power adaptor
We are doing all the voltage conversion internally. SHSL boosts the voltage to +/- 15V for the proper operation of filters and headroom.

Works with many Instruments and audio sources.
So High So Low is perfect for guitar, bass, synths, modular, drum machines, voice processing and even on a whole mix bus as a studio/mastering tool.

In white, red, & black.

Introducing - Behringer BRAINS Reloaded

video upload by Behringer

"BRAINS Reloaded is a free firmware update that introduces 5 New Synth Engines to the Behringer BRAINS oscillator Module.

Engine One - BX7 is an FM synthesizer that includes 32 classic FM Synth patches. All of which are fully exchangeable with native DX7 patches that can be easily uploaded via the Behringer SynthTribe application.

Engine Two - BASSLINE delivers the iconic TD-3 sound to Eurorack. With controls giving you access to distortion, resonance, modulation, and decay; BASSLINE certainly brings a new level of acid to the modular table.

Engine Three - Wave Generator provides a plethora of waveforms with its gritty sound capable of cutting through in every modular session. Controls over waveform types, bit crusher, and sample rate gives you full control over dialling in the perfect tones for your waveform.

Engine Four - VOX is a synthesized vocal morphing sound engine giving you full control over formant shift, resonance, and vowel blends.

Engine Five - Audio Scope allows you to route any external audio signal into BRAINS V/OCT input, allowing BRAINS OLED Display to act as a handy oscilloscope to keep an eye on your waveforms.

To download BRAINS Reloaded, simply head to the software section of the link below and be sure to follow the installation instructions provided in this video:

The MakeNoise Museum | and farewell to vactrols...

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Today I'd like to revisit the classic #makenoisemusic modules from a different perspective. TipTop Audio has been the first company to actually clarify the vactrol ban in the EU/UK and not being able to ship a 292T to the old continent. Vactrols contain cadmium which is bad for the environment and your health. Don't worry, they're fine while they're in your modules (and you can keep them), just don't eat or smoke them and don't bury your QMMG. You may wonder what vactrols are and the old MakeNoise gear was packed with them while supplies lasted. I think MakeNoise used vintage vactrols from the previous century to match the sound of the true Buchla LPG. But supplies didn't last, and even if it did, they can't ship DPO's and Optomixes to the UK/EU forever. Maybe they already can't due to the vactrol ban. So times are changing. The old continent is in the lead, but the rest of the world will eventually follow, even in countries where it's more dangeous to breathe air and bathe in a holy river. But you have to start somewhere and vactrols seemed to be a great way to start saving the planet. As for vactrols and LPG's, i am sure and confident there will be noise after the vactrol. What do you think?"

Expert Sleepers Amelia - envelope/function generator

video upload by Expert Sleepers

"'Amelia' is an envelope/function generator with an unusual ADBR (attack/decay/break/release) configuration. CV control of all envelope times and of the break level is provided. The envelope can be set to auto-trigger, turning it into a complex voltage-controlled LFO.

The shape of the attack and decay/release sections can be independently and continuously adjusted from exponential, through linear, to logarithmic.

Amelia was developed with use with sequencers particularly in mind, where often you only have a trigger output, not a gate of adjustable length. It allows you to create complex and flexible envelope shapes from that simple trigger signal that can be fully modulated under voltage control.

The module is constructed entirely from analogue parts and discrete logic. There is no microcontroller or digital-to-analogue conversion involved and therefore no quantization of voltage levels or of the response time."

Solton SM100 (project 100) Demo

video upload by prankas

"Solton By Ketron Lab SM100 Demo. Sequenced via Ableton and controlled via SM100 software, no audio processing, outputs straight to my RME UCX.

Its the same synthesizer as more famous Project100, but in much smaller, more compact version.

6 voice polyphony, Same era as Korg's poly synths Poly61, Polysix, MonoPoly and u.ses same, legendary SSM 2045 and 2056 chips.

SM100 has very nice analog chorus based on BBD TDA 1022P chip, you can hear it from 3:07."

"This Synth is something special — Akai’s answer to the success of the Roland JUNO in the 1980s, this synth has everything the JUNO had and more!

Recently bought from a friend that buys and refurbished vintage gear. Controls were cleaned inside and out, and he added custom wooden sides! This thing has been tested and sounds truly incredible. Don’t miss out on this one — I believe only 1,000 were ever made!"
