Puremagnetik Releases Microtron Tape 3 for Ableton Live, Kontakt and Logic

"April 29th, 2010 - Brooklyn, NY

The third installment of Puremagnetik's Microtron series brings three classic Mellotron M400 tapes direct to your sampler.

Tape 3 integrates perfectly with Puremagnetik's Microtron Tape 1 & 2 and contains expertly recorded Clarinet, French Horn and Glenn Miller sounds. All of the original imperfections, vintage analog quality and performance nuances of the Mellotron M400 have been immaculately captured through a Neumann U47 Microphone and Reeves Custom 50 Amplifier.

Microtron Tape 3 for Ableton Live 8

Microtron is a comprehensive, natively programmed Mellotron sound set for Ableton Live. Microtron Tape 3 builds upon Live's rack features to create the blending effects between tape sounds as can be achieved with a physical Mellotron. Native Live effects are completely integrated with multisample mode racks so that any Live 8 user can instantly load these sounds.

In addition, Microtron Tape 3 includes over 60 Live Clips performed by professional studio keyboardists. Each clip comes preprogrammed with the multi sound Microtron rack for the most flexibility and editing possibilities.

Microtron Tape 3 for Kontakt and Logic

Microtron Tape 3 for Kontakt comes with a selectable multi sound instrument with custom KSP editing features and Kontakt native effects. The Kontakt download also includes over 60 tempo-synced Apple Loops that can be dropped directly into Kontakt or played in the environment of your choice.

Microtron Tape 3 for Logic includes three EXS instruments as channel strips that instantly install into the Logic library and a collection of over 60 SIAL Apple Loops.

Microtron Tape 3 Features

• Complete sound set of 3 classic Mellotron sounds

Bratigel 16 x 8 Dual analog Stepsequencer Part X

YouTube via heidibeerbel — April 29, 2010 —

"the Bratigel Sequencer is a purely analog sequencer.
There are two sequencer in one package.
Once a 2 x 1 x 8 or 1 x 16 steps with two trigger tracks with 16x switches with three positions (Trig.1 / Trig.2 and step off).
The second Sequencer with 1 x 8 Steps can be controlled in different way.
The internal clock (or external) through the reset of the first and the trigger sequencer track that is a the position of the trigger switch to determine the incremental fare of second Sequencer.
. Add to that a switchable adder which adds the second CV sequencer to the first.
CV sources are 3 adjustable precision voltage sources to seven octaves.
The Clock runs forward only, reset point is adjustable in two rotary switches from 1-8 or 16.
Inputs are:
ext.Start and stop each at a positive trigger pulse.
Ext Clock accept positive pulses, Square, Tri of an LFO, VCLFO, sequencer others.
Outputs are: Gate / Clock Out = 10Volt positive pulse, Trig Out Switch for Moog
CV Out A and B switched 1-7 volts or 1-5 volts (adjustable).
CV Out C 1-7 volts.
Reset Out = total reset of all Steps
Trigger Lane 1 and 2 = positive pulses with half the clock edge.
In this Demo is a bratigel Dual Trigger Delay controls the Start /Stop of the Sequencer. The Bass Line comes from Moog."

KORG monotron ~Amazing Grace~

YouTube via humanmaestro — April 29, 2010 — "This is my second playing on 'KORG monotron'.
I played "monotron" on melody part with reverb effects.
So "monotron" is often used as 'Filter' using the audio input jack.
But it can take a song by the ribbon controller."

"Differences between Vostok and Tereshkova;

They are identical in every respect, except with the Tereshkova, instead of the Matrix panel and VU meter you get extra;

LFO
2 VCAs
2 Multiples

(of course artwork slightly different to reflect these changes).

Other than that identical. They will produce the same sort of sounds.

The choice is whether you need the Pin Matrix Panel or the extra modules. Both are useful!"

via this auction

"Description: The Gnome Synthesizer was originally made to imitate the sound of the wind, but it was possible to make other sounds as well. It has a small vinyl controller strip originally used to control the "strength" of the wind. Because of its small size and battery power, this small synth has become something of a classic, and one of the old Paia instruments that is still wellsought for today."

Analogue Solutions Oberkorn MK3 - Analog Sequencer

via this Noisebug auction
"Oberkorn is a fully fledged professional analogue sequencer providing plenty of control outputs and inputs and with some unique creative features never before seen. Whilst most new analogue sequencers only offer a limiting 8 steps, the Oberkorn offers the all important 16 steps. It is a multi-channel true analogue sequencer with some remarkable features. Below are a list of main features:

- 3 separate Control Voltage channels. Each has a range control.
- 2 separate Gate channels. Either can be on or off, they can be both on together too.
- The Gates can be clocked using internal clock, external clock or use a special Legato mode.
- Nice bright blue LEDs
- MIDI to clock, trigger and step number converter
- Transpose inputs
- Two channels have glide (portamento)
- CV control of clock speed.
- Capability of changing step sequence to anything you want other than the standard 1 to 16.
- Can be reset to step 16, which is very important for synching with other gear.
- This sequencer will work with a Hz/V synth, but works best with the more common V/Oct.
- Much more! For more details on all features of Oberkorn, please read the user manual presented as a PDF below.

A quick note about analogue sequencers:
Analogue sequencers are devices that allow a sequence (up to 16 steps in the case of Oberkorn) of voltages and gate signals to be 'played back' sequentially in order from 1 to 16. Each step has its own control to vary Voltage and a switch to turn the Gate on or off for that step. As the sequencer advances through each step, the CV and Gate signals for that step are output at the CV and Gate sockets. When step 16 is reached, the sequencer resets to step 1 and starts all over again. Oberkorn has 3 CV and 2 Gate channels, 16 steps, and can be made to step in any order. Control Voltage (CV) is normally used to control an oscillator's pitch, but can be used to control any module that has a CV input, such as filter cut-off. The Gate signal is usually used to trigger an envelope, but can be used to control any module with a gate, trigger or clock input. There are many controls and features on an analogue sequencer to give more overall control over the way the sequencer opperates. The major advantage over an analogue sequencer compared to a MIDI/Digital sequencer are: You have direct access to each note pitch (CV) and note on/off (Gate) as there is a separate control for each step. Software sequencers do not offer this advantage, and very very few hardware MIDI sequencers do either. This makes analogue sequencers more immediate and hands on. With this immediate hands on control, you can experiment by altering the controls as the sequence plays, to evolve and manipulate your patterns in real time. As the signals coming from the sequencer are analogue voltages, they can be added, inverted, slewed, or whatever, and can be used as audio or control signals to feed into other analogue devices.

Circuit-Bent Roland TR-505 drum machine

via this auction

"Diabolical Modified Circuit-Bent Roland TR-505:
The Diabolical Roland TR-505 Mods are very similar to the TR-707/727 Modifications which make use of added independent Clock Sources to control the pitch of individual sounds. On the 505 we add 6 pitch controls which affect Bass, Snare, Congas, Toms/Timbale, Cowbells, Hand Clap/Rim. Each Pitch control has a bypass switch that selects either the adjustable clock oscillator or the original 707 CLK. We have also added a 10 point circuit/ROM bending patch bay made from high quality banana jacks (patch cables are included). Linking patch locations will generate a wide variety of modulate, filtered, bit reduced, and otherwise unique effects. The combination of pitch controls and circuit-bending can create some truly one of a kind sounds.

Diabolical Devices aka Class A Electronics, LLC is a leader in Professionally Modified Synthesizer and Audio Equipment, Expert Repair Services, and has a full line of Hand-Wired Tubes Amplifiers and Effects (Diabolical Amplification). Their work has been featured at NAMM, art galleries, music videos, countless tech blogs, and used by musicians all over the world, professionals and enthusiasts alike.
