Singularity (DiN78) by Node

Node vintage modular, Paddington Station and Master rock studio 1994 video upload by David Bessell

"Full album available here https://din.org.uk/album/singularity-...
Retro video footage taken from a live performance on Paddington Station and recording sessions at Master Rock studios London in 1994. The footage from Master Rock was filmed by Mat Osman of Suede. The track 'Continental Drift' appears on the latest DiN release of material from the 1994/5 Node archive. Previously unreleased apart from the track Terminus it features the original line up of Node which included Gary Stout. alongside Dave Bessell, Ed Buller and Flood."

"Singularity is the legendary “lost” Node album. Recorded at the same time as their original sessions in 1994 this has DiN stalwart Dave Bessell join Ed Buller & Flood alongside original member Gary Stout. Presented here for the first time, mastered to modern standards but otherwise untouched and in its original form, recorded to two track with no overdubs. As a bonus the track “Terminus” is included with this release. A fascinating insight into one of the bands that helped spark the analogue revival back in the mid 90's. Mainly unreleased material sees them formulating their take on the classic Berlin school sound using their trademark mountain of vintage analogue modulars. Intriguingly this could almost be an early take on Berlin style techno in places too. An influential group of producers setting their controls for the heart of the sun.

Additional Analog U.S Listings,
also on Reverb

This one is in excellent condition and working 100%. It has just been professionally serviced and with quite a bit of restoration. As the title says, this is a muSonics Minimoog which are rare and seldom come up. This model has several similarities to the RA Minimoog. Besides the metal face panel, clear pitch/mod wheels, squared back panel and walnut cabinet, the oscillator board (as well as the rest) is all discrete. Many will describe the next generation, CA3046 oscillator board as the first board (I think the mean the most common and earlier board to UA726. The serial numbers from Minimoogs around this time were written with ink and have often worn off. You can get a good enough range by looking at the oscillator & filter boards. The oscillator board shows #1219 and the filter board shows #1221. I have owned many RA & muSonic models and this would be accurate."

Introducing Behringer TORO

video upload by Behringer

See this post for a couple of pics and additional details.

"Introducing Behringer TORO.

TORO is a fully analog mono-synth based on the historic TAURUS 1 bass synthesizer from the 1970s.

With its pure analog signal path, TORO is fitted with 2 VCOs, capable of a 5-octave range delivering ground-shaking basses, to searing leads.

Fitted with all the same classic parameter controls found on the historic model, TORO also fully delivers the same iconic sounds but all with modern-day reliability and connectivity - all in a form-factor that fits within modern-day setups thanks to being desktop, rack-mount, and fully Eurorack compatible.

TORO is the synth with a sound as powerful as a bull, minus the bull pricing.

Estimated Price - $349 USD

Constructs Of Time introduces Gradient.

A modular-powered polyphonic synthesizer for Native Instruments' Kontakt Player.

More info at: http://www.constructsoftime.com"



"Constructs of Time introduces Gradient, a polyphonic synthesizer for Kontakt Player that captures the raw and organic sound of analogue.

A Eurorack modular system and a modified Arp Avatar are deeply multi-sampled to create powerful mono and wide stereo sound sources.

Think tube-saturated sine waves, chorused saw waves, noisy pulse width modulation and powerful ring modulation.

Gradient’s filters, modulation sources and effects further shape the sound.

The clean and minimal interface makes sound design fast and intuitive. All controls are carefully selected and calibrated, resulting in a big sweet spot.

Gradient comes with 190+ production-ready presets, covering from cinematic pads to deep basses and punchy stabs.

NKS compatibility provides a seamless hardware experience. The controls are tailored to each preset for an optimal hands-on feel.

Key features:

Works with Native Instruments’ free Kontakt Player
NKS compatible
190+ production-ready presets
2 oscillators (83 waves) & 1 noise generator (21 waves)
3 panning modes (alternate, key tracking, random)
Lowpass and highpass filters
4 shapers (overdrive, grit, crush, tape)
2 envelopes & 2 syncable LFOs with multiple destinations

The best DB-01 feature you're probably not using

video upload by Richard DeHove

"It's the one trick grammy award winning dentists don't want you to know - yet nine out of 10 cats agree! Seriously though there are functions on some machines that you just never get to unless you go digging. I'm a big fan of the DB-01 arp, especially jamming over the top of existing sequences. And recently I made a huge discovery. Well, actually, a tiny and insignificant realization, but it was that in the DB-01 arp section "PIA" stands for "piano" and "STP" stands for "step". For two years I was guessing at that acronym. A cosmic ray must have nudged a defective neuron aside. Yeah, obvious to you but not me. It turns out that "step" is a fantastic auto-slicing jamming function.

In the comments a while back someone said they enjoyed my "crusty" take on things. That means "a little bit grumpy". I like that. I am a little bit grumpy - about a lot of things. One thing I don't like is demos with too many machines. What tends to happen is that one (or more) machines get latched onto some never-ending-16-step-loopy-thing. Or maybe more than one. I don't like that (but of course I've done it lots of times). I get irritated these days when just one machine is endlessly repeating a 16-step pattern. Did any of the great composers just mindlessly copy bar after bar after bar of the same sludge just to fill out supporting instruments? Of course not. (Although I do like Phillip Glass)

OTOH modern machines usually present you with a 16-step grid. So what can you do?
Which brings us back to STP "step" mode on the DB-01 arp. A single, boring, 16-step pattern can be sliced up on the fly and made into endless variations. Possibly the best use of this is recording it as audio and slicing it up in the DAW. Or perhaps live performance. Whatever you do it's a good way to make 16-steps a lot more interesting. The quick version of this is to take an empty pattern, go into the randomizer and "randomize all" (the button on the far right). Now you have an unplayable mess. But with the "step" arp (latched) you can probably pick out selected parts and make something coherent. In any case it's entertaining. What do you think?

Moog Grandmother playing Voodoo People

video upload by fischek

"After fiddling with my grandmother for a while (sounds very wrong :D) I've stumbled upon a sound that resembles the one used by Prodigy, so decided to record it just for fun...

Btw, I know Liam Howlett used to own a Moog Prodigy (hence the name) and am now wondering if that' the one he used for getting this sound."

L-Fusion Dual Analog Triangle VCO 18HP Eurorack module review

video upload by LFusion Electronics

Update: Reworked video demo - Music first, explanation second.

The module is now available on Reverb.

"Introduction to Dual Triangle Core Voltage Controlled Oscillator – Fully analog 18HP Eurorack module, contains two identical VCOs, each oscillator is based on super stable analog SSI2130 VCO IC served by 46 opamps doing precision analog math. In total there are 34 analog ICs and 449 other parts.

In analog VCO sound wave is generated by charging and discharging precision capacitor controlled by temperature compensated exponential converter, generated triangle wave then goes to wave shapers producing different wave forms. Such technology produces supreme audio quality.

Pitch is tuned to standard 1 volt per octave, oscillator provides excellent tracking across 10 octaves, it can be tuned with precision of +-1 cent or 0.01 semitone, this is very precise as human ear can detect detuning from around 3 to 5 cents.

Module can be ordered on E-Bay:"

via this auction

"Dual analog triangle core voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) 16HP Eurorack module with through zero FM modulation based on SSI2130 ICs that provide precision analog exponential converters, oscillator cores, waveshapers as well as high quality voltage controlled amplifiers for wave mixing. Each VCO in the module outputs sine, triangle, saw and square/pulse waves,also voltage controlled mix of them with sub oscillator an octave below controlled with integrated crossfader mixer.

Both oscillators can be modulated with exponential and linear FM, as well as through zero FM/PM and pulse width CV. To ease modulation for each oscillator we have added separate sine outputs with variable gain controlled with modulation knob.

Module also offers master crossfader to mix the outputs of the two oscillators, octave selector switch for each oscillator, as well as knobs for shape, pulse width, pitch and fine tuning. Module is designed using precision voltage reference and other high quality components to achieve +/-1ct (+/-0.01 semitone) tuning across 10 octaves- well below human ear pitch sensitivity which is around 3-5ct.

All inputs and outputs are ruggedized - able to handle rail to rail voltages +12V..-12V."
