A "forgettable" Buchla Filter Circuit is Reborn // 3 Patches with Pas-Isel from Dwyfor Tech


video upload by DivKid

"Pas-Isel is Welsh for Low Pass, handy that when this is a Eurorack filter module.

Dwyfor Tech are a new company who have taken inspiration from what has been said to be a "forgettable" Buchla filter circuit, smashed that into a Korg MS-50 diode ring for a resonance path and masses of lovely guitar pedal style overdrive and they've made that a Eurorack filter with bags of character, and a different tone and circuit design (it's really multiple high shelf EQs).

In the video we share some of the key points in the story of what this circuit was based on and a bit about the company. You can read more about it all on my website in this interview // https://divkidvideo.com/story-time-dw...

'3 Patches with ... ' is a video series where I pull focus on just 3 things with a piece of gear, set of functions or techniques. More of these to come alongside the larger in depth demos in the future.

You can grab a DIY kit from Pas-Isel (and request and assembled one directly) here // https://reverb.com/shop/dwyfortech

"Pas-Isel is a four-pole lowpass filter for Eurorack modular systems, with an architecture unlike any other. Combining design elements from Buchla and Korg, this diode-based VCF uses highpass filters in op-amp negative feedback loops to generate its signature 'wooly jumper' -24dB lowpass response.

Pas-Isel is entirely realised with through-hole components for ease of assembly. This listing is for the full kit version, which includes all components necessary for you to solder together straight away at home. All our front panels are high-quality anodised CMYK prints on chunky, quality brushed aluminium sheet stock, made in the UK. We also offer a panel and PCB set, if you'd rather source your own components, in a separate listing.

8hp wide, 3U high.
Conforms to Eurorack (Doepfer A-100) standards.
33mm depth required for mounting.
Idle power consumption 25mA on both rails.
25kHz self-oscillation power consumption 45mA on both rails.

You can find the build/user manual at tinyurl.com/pasisel - We highly recommend giving it a read before buying, to make sure it's the right kit for you. I can assemble kits to order to provide you with a completed module, dependent on my free time. I charge £50 for my time and labour in this case."

"Patch recreation, based on Oberheim OB-X8 preset called 'Rush Rezz'.
This patch needed to be recalibrate to match the original sound.

P.S. You might recognize the Kurzweil VA1 at the end.

All gear is better in black (replacing the Midicake Arp case)


video upload by Richard DeHove

"Why just make a quick guide on replacing the Midicake Arp's front panel when I can have an extended gripe about too-colorful gear? So here it is, all talk and no music about the joys of black front panels. For reasons unknown a jumble of gear colors disturbs me. Perhaps there's some deep explanation centring on light patterns, color contrast and their interaction with brainwave states? After all, why are some color groupings universally regarded as "beautiful" or "harmonious" - such as a sunset - and other combinations like brown and orange, or magenta and red, judged terrible? Either that or I'm just getting more grumpy and demanding. In the meantime, if anyone knows of a black overlay sticker for the Big Sky, I'm in.

Espen Kraft video in the listing previously posted here. See the Fred's Lab label for additional posts, and the Fred's Lab website for additional info.

"A six-voice, four-part hybrid desktop synthesizer, the Töörö from Fred's Lab packs huge sound and customizability into a compact package. At its core are a pair of 12-bit wavetable oscillators that can be shaped with through-zero FM synthesis, ring modulation and auto-sync giving you the ability to create rich lows and icy highs. The character is further shaped by 'virtual operators' in the FM and sync architecture, as well the MS-10-inspired, FL A847 12dB/oct resonant analog filter. All parameters are accessible from the intuitive layout and can also be controlled via MIDI, and the internal memory can store 100 presents."

"Excellent hands on analog sequencer that works with both CV/Gate and MIDI. It's in mint condition.

Technically the same as the mkII version, but in a lighter and more compact casing.

You can sequence up to to four separate 8 step tracks or two 16 step tracks.

Other notable features include: TB-303 stile slide, built in quantiser, sync to either MIDI or clock, CV control over tempo, transpose over MIDI or CV ..."

"It just got back from Wine Country Sequential before they closed their doors for good. They went thru the whole synth, replaced the data slider and found no other problems except the after touch is not working, which didn’t bother me enough to have repaired right now. Comes with 3 cartridges."

ARP Omni-2 w/ MIDI + LED Sliders

"This is the 2nd one, and it's also been restored with MIDI and LED sliders.

Here's what's been done:

~ Replaced EVERY SINGLE polarized capacitor (100+)
~ Replaced a ton of faulty CMOS logic ICs and OpAmps
~ Replaced all old slide potentiometers, with new LED sliders and SIFAM slider caps
~ Fully re-built/re-bushed the keyboard
~ Fully cleaned and calibrated the whole thing
~ Installed brand new Switchcraft XLR output
~ Added the Tauntek ARP OMNI 2 MIDI-in retrofit
~ Replaced old, faulty IEC

If you're after that iconic Joy Division bass/strings sound this is your chance to own it!"
