ARP PRO DGX ANALOG SYNTHESIZER


via this auction

"extraordinary Mid-70's vintage analog VCO/VCF/VCA synthesizer under digital control is an unusually expressive instrument as it features immediately accessible, simultaneously-available aftertouch or "Touch Sensor" (aka presssure sensitity) MULTIPLE parameters.

EXPRESSIVENESS! TOUCH / AFTERTOUCH / PRESSURE EFFECTS! Sure, others have Pitch Bend, but here you have, at the flick of a single switch which is ideal for performance (thus the PRO moniker): "WOW" (res filter opening/closing), "GROWL" (LFO LF Mod), BRILLANCE, VOLUME, and of course, VIBRATO.

OVERALL TOUCH SENSITIVITY immediately accessible. GLIDE / GLISSANDO / PORTAMENTO also immediately available via included AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL ARP FOOTSWITCH, with immediately available GLIDE SPEED Control too! REPEAT effect, with it's own LFO also available, instantly.

The ANALOG VCO/VCF/VCA voices are further enhanced with digitally-routing control through thoughtful fixed format resonant filter banks, and a HP filter, so there are actually SEVERAL seried filters. The sounds are primarily LEAD sounds, as this is a solo, monophonic instrument. Add a little chorusing or delay effect externally for even richer "phatt" sounds.

THREE Octave manual uses easily accessible simple contacts for easy user maintenance.

INCLUDED: FULL ARP SERVICE MANUAL, ARP PORTAMENTO FOOTSWITCH

The design is particularly ripe for modification, and bringing out some of the analog controls over the VCO/VCF/VCA. We've chosen to keep the design and circuitry intact per collector's usual preference. If you are interested in having this already-incredible Lead Synthesizer tricked out (modified) by us, please inquire, OR we can assist you in doing yourself, but be forewarned, mid-70's circuits have their own peculiar idiosyncracies and exotic parts requirements for compatibility.

HERE are two photos showing all the voices. I believe the RED voices are based on pulse and/or square waves with even harmonic content in varying ratios and the GREEN are based on sawtooth or highly filtered (sine or triangle wave-like haunting sounds). Remember, this is a LEAD INSTRUMENT - monophonic, no chords. All the power is packed in AVAILABLE EXPRESSIVENESS. Take some time to learn the extensive expressiveness parameters available on this amazing synth and you will create incredibly organic, heartfelt, powerful sounds."

"Another Noise Ring/Binary Zone Sequencing act.
I've really come to appreciate Offset/Bias, especially with the Noise Ring, or other random source. I like to adjust the range before feeding the signal to the Quantizer.
Not mentioned in the credits, but also worthy of note is the heavy use of the STG Wave Folder and Flight of Harmony Plague Bearer modules.."

Curtis for iPad Turns 2.0

via The Strange Agency

"We’re eminently pleased to announce the 2.0 release of Curtis today, with some great new features:

* • All new user interface
* • Amplitude envelope
* • Scratch mode
* • Chromatic pitch quantize

We think this edition is a great improvement over the last. It’s far more musical, with chromatic quantize snapping the grain pitch to actual notes. A fantastic idea from Sleazy! The new amplitude envelope greatly extends usability and expressivity, so Curtis doesn’t perpetually sound, but can now be played like a more traditional instrument. Controls have all been surfaced, so there is no longer a need to flip down a hidden panel. The scratch mode we were playing around with some months ago has been incorporated as well. A big thanks to the users who wrote with suggestions, ideas, and demands!"

Running a recently completed Morris Box through a new prototype. This will be the first Marsynth device with an external input for running whatever you want through it: guitar, vocals, other Marsynth stuff... anything!

This video highlights the more chaotic capabilities of the device. Footage of smoother and more subtle capabilities coming soon.

As always, thanks for watching!"

Tone's Analog Synthesizer Projects and Products

Eurorack synth prototyping products now available on synovatron.blogspot.com

synovatron on eBay

Projects include:
* DIY Prototyping Kits 1, 2 and 3
* Standard ribbon cable
* Extender ribbon cable

Also see the front panel artwork on site.

"In the next few weeks I will be producing a range of Eurorack standard modular synth prototyping kits for synth constructors and enthusiasts; these kits will comprise Doepfer compatible printed circuit boards (PCBs) and components.

These will enable you to make neat prototype or one-off projects that accomodate bracketed pots, PCB mounted jacks, switches and LEDS so that they can be easily mounted to a module front panel.

The idea is that you build your designs on the breadboards supplied and get the front panel manufactured separately, either by yourself, or by a company such as Schaeffer"

Update: eBay links updated to synovatron. If you subbed to synthomaniac, update it to synovatron as the old store will close.

MacBeth Mk1 Analogue Keyboard Controller

via Ken MacBeth on Facebook

www.macbethstudiosystems.com

Update: "This is the prototype of the MacBeth Mk1 (true) Analogue Keyboard Controller that I have been working on. It got fired up this weekend that's just been! It has Quarter Inch Jacks for the 5U modular users and 3.5mm Minijacks for the 3U users. The unit sports 2 LFOs with separate 'rate' controls- and a master rate control. Both LFOs can be mixed together and sent out via the modulation wheel. The LFOs can be separately outputted from either the minijacks or the quarter inch jacks. LFO 1 includes an 'insert' jack to allow for other sources to be mixed and sent out by the mod wheel. There is also a reverse CV output, Glide, LFO 2 trig- for its sample and hold...more to follow!" via Carbon111

Sync Unit AC


via Wim: "Remember those people syncing MC-202 in ableton using tempo-synced samples of the tape sync signal? This just got a whole lot easier with my new and FREE plugin "Sync Unit AC", it provides a rock solid tape sync signal (= FSK). This works with any soundcard! No DC-coupled voodoo needed. (unlike my other plug in, Sync Unit DC)

Some sample applications:
- using a Roland TR-707, you can use the tape sync input to generate Midi Clock and Din Sync on the fly.
- same goes for KMS-30
- multiple other machines (sequencers) support tape sync, so no more jitter and audio/midi latency differences!

Currently Mac Audio Unit only, but VST versions are in early development.

EMS Polysynthi

via VEMIA
"Following the recent sale on ebay of Vince Clarke's junked Polysynthi for £4100 here's another of these rare specimens. (VEMIA note: the main difference is that this is virtually as new, and has been checked by Robin Wood!) Polysynthi was designed by Graham Hinton in 1978 when EMS re-located to Oxford from Putney and the first units were shipped in March 1979. This example was the last one to come off the production line in 1981 after EMS went bust and all the stock was inherited by Datanomics. It has a Datanomics sticker inside giving the serial number as 616, but it is known that no more than 50 of these instruments were ever made. This one has been in dry storage for 29 years and has been renovated by EMS in Cornwall. It is in near new, 100% working condition with virtually no marks. The only significant mark is to the vinyl covering on the right-hand side. Most of the panels suffered from flaking of the yellow painted areas but this one is perfect - see photos. Weight: 18 kg Dimensions for shipping (approx): 100 x 76 x 38 cm Equivalent volumetric weight: 58 kg" Update via jochen in the comments: "Polysynthi was NOT designed by Graham Hinton. It was designed by a committee of Peter Zinovieff, Ludwig Rehberg and Alan Sutcliffe."

Update2 via petjen in the comments: "and Rose Zinovieff designed the bright panel."
