Create a fat sounding analog synth bass with the HELL MODULAR SYNTHESIZER (5U size)

video upload by Cornel Hecht

"I use two oscillators playing at the same pitch but with a slight detuning (±5 to ±15 cents) against each other. This creates a chorus effect that broadens the sound. The resonant low-pass filter emphasizes the low frequencies."

TR909 Separate Outputs ... plus other corrections

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Following up from my Roland TR909, TR-09 and Behringer RD-9 comparison. [see this post] Some people mentioned it was worth looking at the difference the separate outputs made on the 909 hand how the mix summed things differently. Also, the RD-9 kick weirdly sounded a bit odd when I played it via the trigger pad, but sounded fine when playing in a pattern.

So I've come to redress things I noticed when trying their recommendations. They were right.. comments are cool, and it's nice to see a great community spirit."

What ELSE can the 303 do?

video upload by William Jacobs

"The Roland TB-303 is maybe the best example of musicians finding inventive new uses for a synth - they took a failed bass machine, got creative and invented acid house. So why don't we invent even more uses for it?

WAVE
Another legend of 80s music is here and it's sure to make its way into your collection. It’s time to ride the Behringer WAVE! Capable of classic 8 or 12-bit wavetable synthesis and layering of up to 8 different multi-timbral sounds, the sound of WAVE is synonymous with the sound of the 80s as artists like David Bowie, Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream, to name a few, used the original to create hits that still resonate today!

Flexible, Vibrant, Vintage Sounds
WAVE is amazing for creating lush pads, bass and even some bell- or chime-like sounds and that’s all thanks to its 8 highly configurable voices and its classic wavetables with 64 waves each, complemented by and additional 64 fixed sub-oscillator waveforms for added depth. Want to change the characteristics of a wavetable? The 2 ADSR envelopes allow you to sculpt your wavetable just the way you want it. There’s also a dedicated sub-oscillator position control for some extra nuance.

Enhanced Expression
WAVE’s 49 full-size keys, offer the perfect balance between expressiveness and playability. Aftertouch and velocity sensitivity, allow you to shape and modulate your sounds depending on how hard or soft you play.

Product Features

Authentic Wavetable generators and analog VCF and VCA designs based on the PPG* Wave 2.2 and 2.3 from the ’80s

Classic digital wavetable synthesis with 8 or 16-bit resolution

Authentic analog signal path based on original VCF and VCA designs

8 voices configurable in modes such as splits, layers, and unison

Poly Sequencer V3 | Getting Started
video upload by Space Brain Circuits

"The POLY SEQUENCER is a MIDI based polyphonic step sequencer that records up to 128 steps. The Poly Sequencer works by recording a sequence by a MIDI controller, and outputting the recorded sequence via an external MIDI enabled device. The Poly Sequencer’s tempo is controlled by the Internal Clock by use of the Tempo Knob or Tap Tempo. However, the Poly Sequencer may also be synced to external gear by use of the Gate In, or receiving MIDI Clock messages. The rate at which the steps are sequenced is controlled by the Division section, representing the number of steps played per clock. By Default, the Poly Sequencer can store up to 5 notes per step with 1 Velocity and 1 CC reading, however the user may choose to change the Sequence Type which varies the stored data depending on the mode selected. Additional functionality includes saving, auto generating blank sequences, as well as step override/ interrupt/ transpose during playback. Firmware versions may also be upgraded by USB connection.

Sequence Types:
The Poly Sequencer’s operation may be adjusted depending on the Sequence Type selected. The Sequence Type defines what type of data is stored for each step. For Example, Mode 0 stores up to 5 notes, with 1 Velocity and 1 CC reading per step.

Mode 0 (Default): 5 Notes, 1 Velocity, 1 CC
Mode 1: 4 Notes, 2 CC
Mode 2: 4 Notes, 4 Velocity
Mode 3: 1 Note, 1 Velocity, 3 CC
Mode 4: 0 Notes, 3 CC
Mode 5: 8 Notes

BUCHLA and Associates - rare original Piano Bar

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Con Brio Synthesizers

"This is my old Buchla Piano Bar - a very rare instrument interface from Don Buchla. Originally conceived and designed by Don - this is one of very few ever made (This one is serial #105 - they started at #100 - so likely the 5th made of 10 or so?)

I have only seen one other of these - it's in the Cantos Museum (NMC in Calgary Canada) but that one is a different model altogether. No others appear on the web at all currently.

The Buchla system works very well - it's placed (no mounting or drilling) across any 88-key piano keyboard. Optical sensors over each key convert these to note on/off of MIDI. The box generates programmable General Midi sound sets, and also has output of MIDI signals for recording or triggering external modules.

I have both the Moog and Buchla Piano Bars - they are quite comparable. The Moog is far more common, with a few hundred sold, but both are rare. Too bad - as it's an excellent design and works so well. Having the acoustic piano sound (and superb feel of any wooden piano keys) plus the richness of the layered sampled sounds - really is a blast to play this. Pedals sensors are down below, so sustain is also triggered.

It has full dynamic control, a very sensitive response. I reprogrammed most of the generic preset sounds into better sets of things - any General Midi manual will show you how this can be done. Splits and layers, effects, retuning, octaves, varied Midi channel outputs - all the basics are possible here."

"This is a very rare item, one of only two I can find currently in existence.

The Buchla Piano Bar was an ingenious invention by legendary synthesizer designer Don Buchla. It is placed across the keys of a standard acoustic piano, the height is adjusted at each end, and the stretch can be adjusted to fit slightly different size keyboards. Beneath you have a portable sensor to go under the pedals, this and the keyboard sensor connected to the back of the main box.

The main box is a converter to change the piano motion into midi notes, covering all 88 keys with full Dynamics. Inside the box is also a General MIDI device, a sound synthesizer chip with hundreds of preset sound options. These can be stacked, split, layered, retuned, and affected in different ways. These can be saved as presets which I have done for many sounds in here. (The original sounds were terrible general presets like Marimba etc.)

Bob Moog was given a license to change this design and sell his own version in 2004. It's a very similar device with the same types of sounds, but those are more common as they made 100 or more.

As you can see in the video it works very well, simply adjust the keyboard sensor as low as possible, and it just works. You can feed a sequence or a computer with the midi notes coming out, recording a midi performance along with the acoustic sound of your piano. Most people find an acoustic piano has a superb feel, so it also makes just a great controller for other midi devices.

I have changed one knob out on the front panel for a larger knob, as seen in the video, but I will include the smaller original knob as well. I received two original carrying cases, but no paperwork with the unit.

These are quite rare and valuable, please email me and discuss if you want to ship with insurance as an additional cost."

Warp Core - The Phase Distortion Powerhouse

video upload by NOISEBUG

"Infrasonic Audio’s debut stereo phase distortion oscillator is an absolute unit! The timbral range of this oscillator is stunning. With 8 phase distortion algorithms that can be combined in series (64 possible combinations) there’s simply no shortage of sonic variety here. Add the 4hp expander and warp core becomes a full voice, with an envelope generator and VCA. The interface is dead simple and easy to navigate, which makes the broad sound spectrum a joy to explore.

Warp Core is available today at Nosiebug.
