Metasonix - T1 [Ultra Rare, #2 of 10]


video upload by NOISEBUG



via Noisebug

NOISEBUG on Reverb

"The Metasonix T1 is an ultra rare piece. Only 10 in existence. this model is serial number #2 of 10.

This T1 is preowned but in absolutely pristine condition.

Includes:

original PSU, original owner's manual, product box and replacement tubes.

From the Metasonix T1 owner's manual:

The T1 is our FLAGSHIP instrument! Our best/worst! It is an intentionally primitive device, using late 1950s technology for the entire signal path. Do not expect it to sound or behave like a Moooooog! Do not expect it to sound or behave like a copycat machine trying to sound like a Mooooooooooooooog! Do not furiously twist the knobs in search of the 1980s DX7 tone. F*** you and f*** the 1980s! Oh, and PS: there are no presets!

So, let's put it in terms even a musician might possibly absorb.

Think of the T1 as a primitive box containing 3 screaming children, being punched in the face to the rhythm of the internal sequencer or user supplied (this means you!) control-voltage source. These screaming voices are generated by the thyratron VCOs that are staring at you right now (you do like to read the manual while you have the unit in front of you, right?) The VCOs are modified RK7 modules, okay?

The knobs control the amount of strangle of the screaming voice. Turn them to the right for higher pitched screaming, and turn to the left for a tighter strangle and more choking. They go thru a mixer/mangler similar to the RK3 module, thence thru a bandpass filter similar to the RK4, then to a lowpass filter/LPG similar to the RK6. Finally there is a pentode VCA on the output, and one envelope generator to control either it or the LPG, selectable by the toggle switch between the LPG and envelope. There is only ONE envelope on this bastard thing, because it’s supposed to be as primitive as possible. If you want to sweep the filter or suchlike, or you want an 'LFO' thing, use the sequencer to do it. Or use external control-voltage sources. There were no such things as “envelope generators” or “LFOs” in the 1950s.

"The ExModule was built with two iSEMs and a Prophet-5.
The iSEM is a clone of the Oberheim SEM."

Buchla Modular System - Ornament


video upload by TheTrackdriver

"A live performance on my Buchla modular synthesizer. The 'Time and Trigger' (hTT) from Northern Light Modular is sending pulses and the 'CV Polymorpher' (hOC) is running two sequencers. The audio is going through a bunch of Strymon guitar pedals and an Elektron Analog Heat Mkll."

"So, I just got the TEO-5 Yesterday and have made a few Patches, so thought while I was experiemnting with it, getting to know its Sound, I would do a Live Stream too :)

Trace | Interpolating CV and Audio Scanner | by DivKid and Vostok Instruments


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"As a 4HP utility module, the Trace isn't that special. It's basically four inputs and one output, with a slider to crossfade between the inputs. But still. If you'd want to do something similar, you would need to patch precise CV to smoothly scan through these inputs with a mixer that supports crossfading. Buchla's Voltage Math (Tiptop 257T) has two crossfaders on board, and you may have a MakeNoise XPAN nearby. I also think it would be possible with a big mixer and a Mutable Tides to slowly fade in/out. The vintage and discontinued MakeNoise RxMx was all about scanned mixing and offered six channels. But I don't think there's anything that can do this in 4 HP. DivKid has a talent to identify the things we're missing in our cases and the Vostok/Divkid Trace is a valuable addition to any patch that involves a VCO with multiple outputs or lots of CV. Highly recommended and lots of fun."

THE PLUGIN REWIRED --- WALDORF MICROWAVE 1, Rev. A vs. MICROWAVE 1 Plugin - PART B


video upload by LESINDES

Part A here

"This is a comparision of the WALDORF MICROWAVE 1, Rev. A with WALDORF MICROWAVE 1, Plugin. Considering a proposal to rewire the PLUGIN this is to record the soundcard output into the DAW again to obtain more comarability.

MW 1 hardware sounds are directly recorded in DAW. Plugin sounds are recordedfrom the out of UFX into inputof UFX using the same pair of cables engaged for the signals of the Hardware unit."

Melbourne Instruments Delia - motorised bi-timbral fun!


video upload by Signal Sounds

"The Unperson returns to the channel to check out the Melbourne Instruments Delia - a bi-timbral polysynth inspired by the motorised control panel and voice architecture of the original Melbourne Instruments Nina.

Delia introduces a 49-key velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard, new multi-mode analogue filters, high pass and low pass resonance control, 3-stage overdrive, and even more modulation possibilities. Paired with Rotary Recall technology, Delia opens the door to the sounds and direction of tomorrow.
