"I wanted to have a synth calendar to hang on my studio wall, so I made one.
Why 1996?
1996 is the same calendar as 2024, so being a synth nerd I made my "Virtually Analog 1996 Calendar" for 2024.
Featuring the synths just released and available in 1996 (this new Virtual Analog technology allowed these Digital Synths to emulate the Analog synths of the past) The Roland JP-8000 , the original nord lead and the Korg Prophecy (also featured physical modeling technology).

"The LEPLOOP is a tiny (2/3 the size of a TB303 or TR606) Italian made analog groove-box with a quirky sequencer. The sequencer generates its melodies and synth lines by recording the sample and hold generator which samples the LFO or noise (basically storing voltages and playing them as a sequence of pitches) It also has a 4 track sequencer based on clock divisions that can be routed to various parts of the synthesiser section and a dedicated Bass Drum Pattern sequencer. These bass drum loops are a feature of this audio demo that was created only with loops in this pack.
Thanks to a separate synthesizer and sequencer for the Bass Drum, called the CASSA section, ( granCASSA is Italian for Bass Drum) this sample pack contains many Bass Drums and they vary from deep subs to short and sharp kicks.There are also zaps and many other percussive noises all created on the LEPLOOP.
In the "Waveforms - Short Cycle" folder there are short samples good for glitchy percussion but because they are so short they make great “single cycle loops” to use as source material in your favourite sampler or synthesizer as digital oscillators. In fact, these were specifically selected and tested as “single cycle” looped tones. NOTE that they are not traditional Single Cycle loops, as they may contain more than one waveform cycle per loop and the frequency of each loop varies, this creates more interesting tones as there is more information that is looped, rather than a single cycle.
"Neo Trinity is a 6-channel compact modulation hub with great musical complexity achievable with simple gestures. Each of the 6 channels can be either LFO, envelope generator, or a CV knob recorder, while their main parameter can be automated with the REC button.
Each channel also features a recordable trigger generator with an algorithmic fill feature to get the inspiration started or to make things polymetric and keep your patches ever-changing. Use the SHIFT button to change modulation shapes and sync selected or all channels to an internal or external clock.
Neo Trinity has been designed with performance in mind, so it includes channel mutes and allows storing whole presets as banks.
While the core mechanics of the module are very straightforward, the inclusion of assignable CV inputs exponentially increases the complexity of the module’s behavior. Control some or all channels in different ways with the META IN and utilize channels’ E and F dedicated inputs. The inputs can control the main parameter in a positive or inverted way, control the output amplitude, and act as an external trigger or a trigger for the internal Sample & Hold function. The CV knob recorder mode also acts as a quantizer, and when combined with the CV inputs, it turns into a handy voltage processor."
"Neo Trinity from Bastl is a module for generating control Voltage - which is the most generic description of a module I've ever made, but that's because it's a very flexible module which makes it hard to describe in a single sentence. It caters to your envelope, LFO, offset generation needs, but that's mixed in with a very “jammable” approach to sequencing and automation, that welcomes rapid iteration on a performance.
In this video my plan is to introduce Neo Trinity to you from an architectural standpoint, then try to give you a feel for its workflow by building up a patch through a few layers of complexity, while mixing in a few extra examples of patches I've been playing with as I've been exploring it.

"I let my old MC-202 go a very long time ago for rent money. Regret!
But recently, Tubbutec modded this beloved monophonic synthesizer, and I had to get my hands on one. Here's my first try after reading the manual. Always RTFM"
"Here is the Roland SH5 breakout panel that I designed in action - alongside my customised Roland System 100, the CR8000 drum machine (its a beast) and some eurorack sequencing stuff - YEAH!"
