HARMONICONSTELLATION - OVERVIEW


video upload by A Magic Pulsewave

"MIDI EXPANDER, HARMONY COMPUTER, AND PRESET SYNTH FOR AMP DEVICES. www.melodyoracle.com

HARMONICONSTELLATION is a 3 channel AMP LINK to MIDI expander and harmony computer, with built-in three channel preset synthesizer. Converts AMP Obliquencer, Melody Oracle, Touch Tones, and Star Song to 3 channels (or up to three voices on one channel) of MIDI control signal.

Master settings control root note and mode, to format the incoming AMP control stream to a set of MIDI note values within a specified scale (9 harmonic modes over the full chromatic range). Each channel has Octave and Harmony Offset settings, creating spontaneous harmony to the incoming note stream, within the scale set by the master settings. CV inputs (0-3.3v, diode protected) for Octave and Harmony Offset on each channel allow modulation from Obliquencer CV outputs or other CV sources. Octave and Harmony Offset selectors become CV attenuators when jacks have been patched.

HARMONICONSTELLATION outputs MIDI master clock if connected to Obliquencer or Melody Oracle, allowing MIDI sequencers and drum machines to sync.

Each TRS MIDI output carries all three internal channels over MIDI, and each channel can be routed to any of the 16 MIDI channels using the recessed touch controls.

Built-in polyphonic, multi-timbral synthesizer output creates an audio preview of your sequences without needing to connect an external MIDI synthesizer. 16 preset sounds, with a variety of waveform and envelope profiles, correspond to the MIDI channel settings.

Multiple HARMONICONSTELLATIONs can be chained to control additional synthesizers. Can also be chained with AMP Expandoor and Wave Expander.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Connection: Shielded connector RJ45, ethernet cable.
Dimensions: 8.66” x 5.25” x 3”
Power: Bus power, no additional power supply required
MIDI Output 3.5” TRS Type A
CV inputs: 3.5mm 0-3.3V unipolar diode protected."

Poly 61 rack mount with editor added


video upload by Craig Barnes

"This is an upgrade to the Poly 61 rack mount synth that I built from eBay parts last year. It was always staring at me asking, 'where is my editor'. So I finally gave in and created this.

The code and schematics are here.

The Delay - TC Flashback Triple, Oberheim OB-6, TRex Replicator, Strymon Cloudburst, Ibanez M80M


video upload by thesrabbit

"I was gonna call this "Lords of O'Brien No. 1", as a tribute to the greatest ambient guitar Youtuber, ‪@chordsoforion‬ But I opted for a less facetious and more utilitarian name. That way I can shamelessly shove the highlighted gear list in the title.

I got a TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay recently and holy crap, instant inspiration. A bit of fiddling with the Toneprint editor and I had my 3 stacked delays for the main simulated Frippertronics tape loop. Then I said, well hell, I already have a TC Flashback II, might as well Toneprint a Frippertronics tape loop delay in that box too. So the OB-6 gets the Flashback II, and the guitar gets the Flashback Triple. I made a 4 step polyphonic sequence for the OB-6. The little Roland DP-2 switch cycles through each step. The Tonex hosts a capture of my own Peavey 6505 amp, clean channel with pre-gain at 6. There's a little (ok a lot) of Strymon Cloudburst at the end for the final chef's kiss.

Too much gear and too many parallel signal chains to list, but deep breath here we go...

Guitar: Ibanez M80M (8-string), IK Multimedia Tonex, Guptech Honker overdrive, Morley Little Alligator volume pedal, TRex Replicator tape delay eurorack module (somehow works fine at instrument level), Two Notes Torpedo Captor M+ with Ownhammer 412 Rect Balanced Cab IR, TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay (delay 2 is the tape loop), Strymon Cloudburst Reverb

Synth: Oberheim OB-6, TC Electronic Flashback 2 (tape loop), Audiothingies Doctor A (stereo delay and reverb)

Guitar Synth: Boss SY-300, Strymon Cloudburst Reverb (plugin)

MIDI Mod for iOS adds random delay time shifts to the TRex Replicator via a Kenton MIDI to CV box.

Recorded live, first take! (can't f'ing believe it)

No post processing other than a little bit of the Strymon Cloudburst plugin for the final "glue"
