"With 15 configurable sound effects and a user-friendly HMI
Published in issue 405, September 2010 Digital Multi-Effects Unit It’s a simple fact: every recording sounds better with the right sound effects. Here we prove that it’s possible to generate a variety of effects digitally, including hall, chorus and flanger effects, without having to work yourself to the bone with DSP programming. The circuit is built around a highly integrated effects chip and features an intelligent user interface with an LCD. The result is a treat for the eye and the ear.
Features: - Multi-effect generator with 15 effect algorithms - Based on the FV-1 effect processor IC - Frequency response 20 Hz to 15 kHz - Maximum delay time 700 ms - 64 memory locations for preset configuration profiles - Separate user interface - MIDI In port - Effect selection and parameter control via MIDI port - Integrated ramp generator for producing attack/decay effects - Easy assembly using standard components (except the FV-1 IC) - Free assembler program for generating user-programmed effect algorithms"
"I record a couple of Electric Golem sets in the studio. Trevor Pinch on Moog Prodigy and DIY modular, Jim Spitznagel on Evolver, Mopho, iPod, Nintendo DS, and Tenori-On."
See this post for more info on Trevor Pinch's modular.
"Demo of my FPGA-based subtractive synthesizer that I am working on. It is being processed by the Space Baby digital delay. Percussion is from Audio Damage Tattoo. The synth is running on a Spartan 3E development kit. I am using software faders to control synth parameters off screen over MIDI.
"The first session with Rebirth on an iPad. I had only one hand free an sound is recorded by iPhone. It just demonstrates that its useable in sync with other gear. The iPad clock seams to bee stable and precise (what I expected). Just the initial "Play" hit on iPad is a little bit difficult to set by touch. Its a matter of tryout..."
"Music from the Commodore 64 game called Foton on the Novation Nova synthesizer. Cover by Yarosystems, Poland 2010. Original C-64 song by Mateus from Czechoslovakia, written in the late 80-s."
YouTube via metasonix | August 07, 2010 http://metasonix.com/ "Warning: very boring. Shows why Metasonix products are 'costly'. They are hand made in the USA, and the owner of the company does the final assembly and testing on every item, with his own hands."
YouTube via adiblasi | August 15, 2010 inside a Hartmann Neuron "http://www.Alfred.TV READ ME FIRST: In this video, we document the amazing kludge job that was beautifully executed by AdamB to get the Hartmann Neuron Synthesizer in working order due to failed capacitors on the motherboard and power supply.
This synthesizer is a great example of how a PC compliant system was used as an 'embedded system' that was at the hart of this synthesizer. I had given Adam constraints NOT to drill through the metal base of the synth -- which would have facilitated mounting and avoided the glueing of screws, but I didn't want a drill taken to the synth.
Without doubt, this is NOT for the 'faint of heart', and there was quite a bit if guesswork, but in the end, it did work.
"An idea of my dream instrument - touchscreen interface."
Update: 0002 added below
"Simple render of a touchscreen synth workstation. I added mod and pitchwheel by request; however, I don't want to add dozens of sliders and knobs. The touchscreen is the main interface, other than the keyboard."

"I figured it was time someone made a little music with the Korg Monotron rather than just noise. This one is called the Monosong featuring the Korg Monotron as a lead synthesizer. It was improvised in one take.
The Monotron was fed into my Mini-KP to add delay & reverb. The backing track was created using my Korg Kaossilator for the first drum loop, the bassline, and the chord progression. The second drum loop was created using the Zoom MRT-3B Micro RhythmTrak filtered through the Monotron's MS-20 filter. The guitar is my Reverend Warhawk HB run direct into my Korg PX5D Pandora.
Video shot with my Digital Harinezumi 2++ in monochrome mode and edited in iMovie 6 HD.
"Music available for download at: http://soundofseventythree.bandcamp.c...
This one is called Tremolos. It features the Akai LPK25 & the LPD8 which are a couple of new additions to my studio. It also features my original Reverend Warhawk electric guitar run through a Danelectro Surf & Turf compressor and a Danelectro Corned Beef reverb into a Vox Amplug, A Squire 70's Vintage Modified Jazz Bass run into a Vox Amplug Bass with the compressor on, Stylophone, Rotary Vibraphone from Apple's Jam Pack 1, Mellotron strings & 15 Choir from the M-Tron plugin, and GarageBand electric piano set to tine.
Let me just say that LOVE these new Akai laptop controllers! I've used a lot of midi controllers over the years big and small and these are a couple of the best controllers I have used of any size! The Akai LPK25 has a good feel for the size and great velocity response. The Akai LPD8 has the as good feeling pads of any drum controller I have used and again a great velocity response. Of course there are some compromises with the size but overall I love the response, feel and build of these little controllers. They fit perfectly with the way I like to work. I guess you should not expect any less from Akai.
The video as always was done with my Canon IS S3 and edited in iMovie. I hope my digital Harinezumi is here before my next video so I can use it for a bit of a change."
And one last track featuring the Zoom ST-224 & MRT3:
This is my remix of the last song I posted on youtube called Echos. I feel that maybe there is a little Madlib influence in here as well as some St. Germain.
I sampled the lap-steel part on my Zoom SampleTrak ST-224 at standard quality (read dirty and grungy) and started messing around with it, eventually slowing it down and filtering it. I came up with a new drum part on the Zoom MRT3 Micro Rhythm Trak drum machine and sampled that too. Then I recorded both parts into GarageBand.
In GarageBand I added the bass part played on my Squier 70's Vintage Modified Jazz Bass with my amplug bass into my Korg Pandora PX5D Pandora as a recording interface. The guitar was played on my Reverend Warhawk original into the PX5D Pandora. I also added Mellotron flutes from the M-Tron by typing them in on my MacBook's keyboard as I am without a proper keyboard at the moment. I tried to get the live parts to sound like they were sampled from an old scratchy record from the 60s.
The video was done in iMove HD with the footage shot on my Canon S3 IS."
"keyboard/organ preset 1 to 49, Korg microSTATION is a new workstation from Korg. I just got the first shipment to Europe and I have had the Korg M3 and the Korg M50 Workstation before. This is a light weight 2.5 kg/ 6lbs workstation/synthesizer with amazing sounds and a built in sequencer.
Pros: portabel and easy to use, amazing sounds from the bigger M3 series, sequencer, great software editor
Cons: mini keys, small LCD display
Everything recorder with a Korg SR1 Sound On Sound field recorder.
You can make a 16 channel song with drums, bass lines, leads, pads and so on. Use up to 5 effects and master effects and then save your work to a SD card. With the USB connection it can act as an VST in your DAW like Cubase, Logic, Live. Since I use it in a studio it is very easy to just put it in a bag and use it both at home and in the studio. I initially bought the Korg M50 but 7 kg/15 lbs was bulky since I also play bass guitar and use Cubase on my laptop, impossible to get all that equipment on the metro."
"Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made entirely with Plogue Bidule in one take. No samples were used. These are FFT/iFFT resynthesis based synth sounds. Enjoy ! http://www.myspace.com/fredericgercha..."
"Last Friday I got some new Synthesizers.com modules for my 50th birthday which are used in this video: A Q171 quantizer bank, a Q963 trigger bus, a Q128 switch and a Q109 envelope generator. The Q960 sequencers drives 2 voices on row 1 and 3 using the Q171 quantizer bank the quantize the CV's. Row 1 drives the Synthesizers.com Modular. Row 3 drives the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO which is connected to the Buchla 282c clone Resonant LoPass Gate which is modulated by an Ian Fritz All-In EG. The 8 individual steps of the Q960 are switch on and off with the Q963 trigger bus. In the refrain of the track I switch the scale switch of the Q171 from scale to triad to change the pitch of some steps. The strings are performed on the Roland XP-80 with a CS imitation. The solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and some additional notes are played on the Waldorf Q Keyboard."
"A chance to hear diferend synths with a String sound Korg Triton LE,Fantom G6,Omnisphere,D50,PolySix.Novation and a JD800 witch Jarre still uses The last synth has one of my fave sounds the CS80 on a SQ1"
"like new Akai EWI 4000s with a Protec Pro Pac PB310 Soprano Sax Case (fits great with the EWI), two extra mouthpieces, patches for the EWI, gold decals specifically to make the EWI 4000s more realistic looking, manuals and original software. "
Anyone know more about this one? It's listed on Amazonas well, but no additional info.
I added this and the most recent synth book posts to the full Synth Books post here.
Update via alpha in the comments: "I think that book is actually about radio and other related circuits. I was at my local University Library and that book caught my eye. I doubt it's about synths. Here is a link to the library where it was available. It was listed under the subjects: Citizens band radio--Equipment and supplies Phase-locked loops. I'm always looking for old books about analog synths. Even old patchbooks would be cool. "
"Highly coveted Signal Arts brand MIDI Sequencer once offered in Modcan A-Series modular synthesizer format. While the desktop box versions of these fabulous polyphonic sequencers are still being offered by the Signal Arts Company for $1,399.00, the Modular Modcan format unit above is no longer available.

"Filtare SEIII Voltage Controlled Filter VCF Eurorack
The Filtare SEIII is a multimode, state-variable voltage-controlled filter that gives you low-pass, band-pass and high-pass outputs which are all simultaneously available. It also includes a notch output which allows you to change the balance between low-pass and high-pass. The SEIII uses discrete components but is based on SSM2040 architechture, giving you a very musical sounding filter. There are CV inputs for frequency, resonance and notch balance. The 1 V/O CV input for frequency can be used to have the filter follow what you're playing on the keyboard or just crank up the resonance and use it to play sine-waves.
Specifications: * Modes: LP, BP, HP * All modes are 4-Pole (24dB/Octave) * Notch: Change balance between LP and HP (total drop with balance at center is 3.4dB) * Power supply: +/- 12 VDC (reverse-polarity protected!) * Width: 8HP
I'll add a permanent link to the right under MORE STUFF/Manufacturers shortly.
Auction Description: "Multiplicity XV Buffered Multiple Module for Eurorack for your modular synthesizer
The Multiplicity XV by Division 6 is a buffered multiple module for your Eurorack synthesizer.
Multiples are handy, but the more ways you split your signal the weaker it gets. The Multiplicity XV is buffered; every single output jack regenerates your signal. Whether you are splitting audio or control voltages, there is no degradation.
Multiplicity's channels are cascaded, giving you flexibility in how many ways you split your signal. Plug a signal into input 1 and it will be available from all 15 outputs. Add a different signal into input 3 and it breaks the chain; signal 1 comes out 6 outputs and signal 2 is available at the remaining 9. You can have up to 5 inputs split 3 ways each.
Specifications: * Power supply: +/- 12 VDC (reverse-polarity protected!) * Power draw: 20ma / 20ma * Width: 10HP
Includes: * Multiplicity XV Module * Doepfer-style Power Cable * (4) M3 x 6mm Rack Screws w/ Nylon Washers"
"chris-carter-interloop Chris Carter Throbbing Gristle Spaces Between Cosey Optimo Music
Originally recorded between 1974 and 1978 at Industrial Records studio in London 'The Space Between' album was first released as a 90 minute cassette in 1980 on Throbbing Gristle's Industrial Records label. It wasn't until 1991 that it was again released by Mute Records on CD. Although tracks from 'The Space Between' have appeared on numerous compilations since its release, the album has never been available on vinyl until now.
This new vinyl edition on Optimo Music, now retitled 'The Spaces Between', doesn't include all the tracks of the original album but has been enhanced and remastered from the original two-track master tapes and has new cover artwork especially for this release. Released by: Optimo Music Release/catalogue number: OM008 Release date: Sep 20, 2010"
I asked Chris Carter if he remembered what he used on this track. The following is what he had to say: "I'm a little fuzzy on specifics for individual tracks from this album as it was recorded over a four year period (1974 - 78) but as far as I can remember 'Interloop' was recorded on a Tascam 4 track - probably a A3340S. I think the synths used were a Roland SH-1 for the sequence and an Roland SH-5 for the synth lead line. A Roland System-100 104 Sequencer was driving the SH-1. I am pretty sure the delay effects were from a Roland RE501 and probably a couple of Boss pedals - a phaser and a chorus most likely - all Roland basically."
"This music is based on a three note seqeunce with my upgraded (from 1.03 to 2.21T) Moog little phatty. The flute is from the Yamaha DX27. The pad of course from the Juno 106. I used the Waldorf Micro Q for the high freqeuncies. Again a lot of effects used but specially the Yamaha E1005 who echoed the moog bass. It is a nice analog pair and a flair of digital sound"

THIS IS FALSE. take my song and speed it up 8x if you dont believe me. Also: I never claimed this song to be my own. It's obviously Justin Beiber's. I just timestretched it using PaulStretch. :) Proof about Photo Wave Orchestra/IM NOT LYING! : http://audioboo.fm/boos/168021-echoes-across-the-astral-wastelands-speed-up ALSO THIS: http://i.imgur.com/UpgZj.png One final thing: I don't claim this to be any sort of MY OWN talent resonating.
