Analogue Solutions 4 Voice Maximus Polysynth - Maximus 4V


video upload by Analogue Solutions

Follow up to the 8 voice Maximus.

"We are thrilled to share some initial sound samples from the Maximus 4V polyphonic synthesizer. We've included a variety of sound types, but given the vast sonic possibilities and features of the Maximus, demos will need to be spread across several sessions to fully grasp the scope of what this synthesizer can achieve."

"*WHAT IS MAXIMUS?*

Tom Carpenter is excited to introduce Maximus, an extraordinary new mega-polysynth inspired by the dawn of analogue synths. It is more than a powerful analogue ‘workstation’ - it is also a piece of art, architecture, and exquisite studio furniture.

Although we label this as a polysynth, it is so much more. We can't think of a single label to assign to this synth since it transcends traditional categories.

When you think of a polysynth, you might imagine flat synths with one set of controls that manage all voices equally. By giving Maximus independent controls for every voice, you have the freedom to create unique styles of poly sounds that are impossible on traditional polysynths, whether they are hardware or software. You can dial up ‘traditional’ poly sounds (pads, etc.) or create something unimaginably different.

Because you can never dial up each voice completely identically, standard poly pads will sound superbly vintage.

All the voice and modulation circuits are, of course, 100% analogue. We purposely avoided digital components, aside from the digital needed for MIDI and the mini-sequencers.

This synth is purely for those who want it just as it was in the 1970s - but new, with parts still in production, for those who want a synth that could have been built in the 70s.

There are no gimmicks - this is pure synthesiser - a huge sound enclosed in a solid metal case wrapped in solid hardwood. No expense has been spared to bring this incredible machine to life.

Synthesisers like this only come around once in a decade, or possibly, a generation."

"Make Noise is proud to announce the 2024 Black & Gold Edition QMMG!

The QMMG Returns!

We built as many QMMGs as we could source parts for, and we are shipping QMMGs to dealers worldwide— they will be available for purchase on September 9, 2024.

QMMGs will also be available to purchase at Make Noise HQ (414 Haywood Rd., Asheville, NC 28806) on Saturday, September 7th, 2024 from 10am - 2 pm (limit 1 per customer).

To help celebrate the limited release of the 2024 Black and Gold QMMG we have created a special QMMG t-shirt, featuring iconography created by Tony Rolando for the module’s original 2008 release: https://www.makenoisemusic.com/produc...

The Quad Multi-Mode Gate is a huge riff on the original Buchla 292 Quad Lo-Pass Gate, including a Mix Out and all of the original feature set. The QMMG offers additionally: HiPass mode, Voltage Controlled Feedback, Direct Coupling and Normalizations so that multiple channels may easily be used together to create Bandpass Gates, steeper HP, BP or LP Filters, or even something like a traditional Synthesizer Voice Architecture.

The QMMG contains no fewer than 8 Vactrols!

Like the 2018 reissue, the mode switching is done via analog pots instead of rotary switches, and the bottom board contains reverse power protection circuitry.

Vintage voiced, all analog
Four independent vactrol-based channels
Multiple modes per channel: VCA, Low-Pass Gate, Low-Pass Filter, or High-Pass Filter

Herbs and Stones - Three Stems


video upload by Herbs and Stones

Watch your volume levels on this one.

"Three Stems is an analog multiband tone sculpting device.

After going through the input gain stage, the signal is split into three freely adjustable frequency bands, each of them is then fed into a two stage warm saturation and asymmetrical distortion circuit. A final mixing stage lets you control the presence of each band.

The circuit is designed to let the user go from suble and warm parametric eq-ing to painful amounts of high gain distortion, where each frequency band fights each other generating pseudo ring modulation and gating effects.

With Three Stems you can add resonant decaying tails to your drum beats, control the crispness and character of your drones, excite the harmonics of your field recordings... and so on."

Demo in the listing previously posted here. One more demo here.

"Combined re-issue of the MFB sounds of the MFB 501 + 502 (analog) and the MFB Kult (samples); all with adjustable parameters (tune, decay and level, + 'extra' for the analog sounds (think 'noise snare', 'attack kick'), plus its own sequencer with A and B patterns and p-locks ('plocks'). Quite a lot to pack in to one box with only a few buttons and no display, so quite a learning curve there, but fret not, cause it also has MIDI in to sequence externally (also with quite some options, but, eh, r.t.f.m.)"
