Analogue Solutions New Synthesizer Teaser: AMPLE
video upload by Analogue Solutions
Update: demo by Starsky Carr posted here.
Ample can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be: We have given this synth a large and diverse number of controls, that alongside the patch sockets, will give even the best and most experienced synthesist endless possibilities.
We have presented the controls in a user-friendly and familiar synth layout that, together with this manual and other resources, enables even the new guy to get great sounds.
SYNTH – PERCUSSION – AUDIO PROCESSOR
"Ample is a compact analogue synthesizer. Analogue - as in really analogue. Aside from the MIDI chip (which has to be digital), everything else is totally analogue using real transistors and op-amps. There are no CPU-stabilised and quantised circuits, no DCOs, no digital LFOs and no digital EGs, as found on other so-called analogue synths. The circuitry is based on designs dating back to the mid-1970s. So Ample has a genuine old sound. The Best of all Ample combines the best elements of several of our recent products. -The sound elements of Fusebox -Jack patch points of Concussor Eurorack -Patch pin matrix of Vostok -Echo from Dr Strangelove -Sequencer and CV touch pads of Generator It shares all this yet still has its own sound!

Robotron MIDI Controller Demo
Taho Live using 2 Robotrons!
5 min track challenge with Robotron, Launchpad mini and Touchable Pro
via https://vipersynths.com.
Note the Robotron is available with Moog or Sequential style knobs.
ROBOTRON is a MIDI controller that looks and feel like an analog synthesizer! It is hand made in France, with the highest quality material, it's very robust and durable, like the vintage machines that made history. Robotron has 26 potentiometers and 6 momentary switches. They are all assignable to any CC you desire. By default the layout of ROBOTRON gives you the essential commands of pretty much every synths that exist.
Robotron comes with a Max for Live plugin that allows you to map your virtual synths on the fly and save the mappings once and for all. You can download it here. A VST version of the plugin is coming in 2024.
Robotron has 9 sections. Oscillators, mixer, filter, 2 enveloppes, a volume, LFO, a MIDI channel selector and the free to assign knobs. Every knobs and buttons are assignable.
It works on all DAWs.
With its 16 MIDI channel selection directly available on its panel, you can quickly switch from one instrument to another, without touching your DAW. You can also control all your hardware synths using the MIDI OUT of your computer.
For those who work without no computer, a very small USB to MIDI DIN converter is coming in 2024 and will be included with Robotron at no extra charge. When you order now you'll receive your converter as soon as it's available.
The assign section has 6 aluminium knobs, the same found on Sequential Circuit synthesizers. The other knobs are made of Bakelite, an extremely solid plastic invented by Leo Baekeland in 1907. Bakelite can resist extreme temperatures and chemicals. Those knobs are the same found on Moog synths.
The top panel is made of anodised aluminium with a beautiful brushing effect to it. The wood sides are made of exotic Sapelli, often used on boats for its robustness and beautiful look. It is particularly prized for its lustrous iridescence. It is also used in the manufacture of furniture, luxury flooring, and musical instruments.
Features:
26 High Quality Potentiometers.
8 Switches.
100% Assignable.
16 MIDI Channel Selection.
OLED Screen.
USB MIDI Compliant Plug & Play.

Dimensions: 39,5*25*7.5cm (15.5*10*3in).

The Room Outside Of Time
video upload by John L Rice
"Similar to several of the recent sequencer demos I've posted, but different.
The 569 sequencer is again in 2x16 mode and using the same tuning as the last few videos. The difference this time is I patched two gate outputs from the 569EGB rows 1 and 2 into the two 564 sequential switches and then patched all 8 outputs, 4 each, from the 564 switches into rows 1 and 2 of the 569ES. The 564 switches are shifted by the 554 Octal Clock divider, which is normal'd to the Corsynth C102 LFO which is the master clock and also is shifting the 569.
The sequenced voice is a single Martin Jan Koehler VCO, the Tidal Modulator, which is a 5U version of Mutable Instruments Tides module. All four outputs get voiced separately but at the same time with 1/2 of a Moon 517 VCF, 1/2 of an Oakely Dual VCA, and 1/5 of a Club Of The Knobs C911P poly EG. Each voice goes to a separate input of the Allen & Heath MixWizard and panned evenly across the stereo field. A Krisp1 OCTO LFO modulates 4 of the Tidal Modulator's parameters.
The solo voice is a Roland Integra7 played via a Roland A-88 keyboard.
Effects used are the usual Strymon BigSky and Timeline pedals and the Lexicon MX400."

"Major restoration + Kenton midi install for this PS-3100!As on almost 99% of the PS series synths, same problems after 45 years: edge connectors completely cracked, capacitors that leak and begin to deteriorate the adjacent copper tracks, potentiometers at the end of their life, intermittent jacks, defective dividers. ..Nothing very complicated in itself , but the simplicity of the electronics of the PS is counterbalanced by the physical aspect of the job (the cables of the front panels controls / connectors are often difficult to access when changing parts) and ultra repetitive maintenance (18 connectors w/22 pins that must be disconnected / rewired, 46 potentiometers, around thirty jacks with a common ground rail, 150 capacitors, the same copper tracks attacked by drips on all the filter / gate cards to be restored, 12 dividers to be changed. .) .. so it's far from easy work!
Work done :---------------
Change of all (18) 22-pin connectors with new identical ones manufactured in Japan
- Change of all electrolytic and tantalum capacitors
- Decontamination of areas / copper tracks attacked by capacitors leakages
- Change of all MM5824 dividers with new clones
- Change of all potentiometers with identical new parts
- Change of all the jacks with identical new parts ( MIJ)
- Installation of a mod to reduce background noise in headphone / line output
- Installation and wiring of a KENTON midi kit -Calibration"
