Gabriel of ÖGENIX & His Minimal Eurorack Modular

via Gabriel: "My synth is a bit more than 5 rows but with ÖGENIX I'm the lead vocalist, I don't need the whole "wall of sound" for the few times I grab it and play some noise during some bridges where I don't sing! SO Tip top Audio's happy ending kit is ideal for that!

module list:
Make Noise: QMMG
The Harvestman: Hz Donut, Malgorythm
Malekko: Noisering
Plan B: Model 10
Synthwerk: Fsr1n

and SuONOIO (not on the picture)

We have a demo availlable for free download on our soundcloud or www.ogenixmetal.com
However we are working on a full lenght album and seriously, it's gonna make some heads explode :)
People can stay tuned for news on our facebook or our twitter."

59 Missing Link Playing Buchla (and MiniMoog)


YouTube Uploaded by 7thDanSound on Apr 4, 2011

"So today I got the very very cool Missing Link from Jabrudian in the mail today and decided to test it. As I no longer have a modular with a VCA I had to patch it up with the Buchla 259e as sound source and MiniMoog as gate :) I just used the default template for the TouchOSC app in my iPad so I was a bit limited. I expect to get tons of fun out of this!

samplerSequencer for iPhone

"'SamplerSequencer' turns your device into a sampler sequencer for professional musicians and composers. Just record a single sound / voice / special effect "LA notes," using the samplerSequencer audio recording feature (using the internal microphone of the device) or import the sound into the device through synchronization (using the iTunes software for Mac or PC) or using copy / paste using the technology "iTunes File Sharing" and samplerSequencer will create for you the whole scale of sounds and assign them to the virtual keyboard (n octaves) of samplerSequencer, at which point you can record an audio track using the sequencer recording feature of samplerSequencer (the sequencer record for you every note played by you). SamplerSequencer operates with seven independent sound tracks, each with its own sampled sound (assignable to a track). You can then record a track at a time (using the virtual keyboard or by writing different notes by hand) and then listen all the tracks together using the sequencer play feature.

The sampleSequencer "all tracks view" and "selected track view", the ability to manually enter a note or put it through the virtual keyboard, the ability to delete unwanted notes through the hash function, to touch a note and change its position, length and the type of the note (note shift), the possibility of including sequencer events such as pitch bending and many other features make samplerSequencer a professional sequencer like the most popular sequencers for Mac or PC.

The software is able to read the common audio files (WAV, MP3, CAF, etc. ...) so you can create your own sound (you only need one audio file) using standard wave editor for Mac or PC and samplerSequencer will create automatically for you the musical instrument.

You can also import a song from the iTunes library on the device and by controlling "SAMPLE START POSITION" you can select a sound by extracting it from the same song: samplerSequencer will automatically create the complete musical instrument for you.

You can import a song from iTunes and assign it to a track, and using the other tracks you can play your track over the imported song… the sequencer will play the song combined with your sound tracks.

With samplerSequencer you will have in your pocket the smallest sampler and sequencer that exists!

Features:
- Import any sound and samplerSequencer generates for you the entire scale of sounds (n octaves)
- Storing infinite sound samples using the archive of sound ("Samples Archive") of samplerSequencer
- Virtual Keyboard
- Control for increase / decrease the keyboard octave (usable in real time)
- "Bending control" to change the sound in real time
- "Sample Start Position" control:
you can remove the initial part of a sample (ex. silence) by specifying the start time instant of the sample (CUT FEATURE)
- "Sustain Pedal" control
- Multi keyboard voices (64 entries)
- Default "GRAND PIANO"sample
- Possibility of "registration" of musical patterns during live performances:
enabling the recording, samplerSequencer record to an audio file the music played with the keyboard by the user (pressing a key on the keyboard to play, after registration, your live performance)
- sequencer with 7 independent tracks (you can assign to each track a different sampled sound)
- MUTE function to turn off unwanted tracks (PLAY MUTE feature)
- Independent VOLUME for each track (SEQUENCER MIXER)
- Function touches a note and change its parameters of position, duration, and type of the note
- Function touch / drag to remove one or more notes
- Function touch / drag to remove unwanted events (pitch bending etc...)
- Metronome"

Säckpipa - Swedish Bagpipes in E/A for the iPad


YouTube Uploaded by tradlessons on Apr 4, 2011

"Sackpipa is a cool sounding set of Swedish Bagpipes in E/A for the iPad.

The chanter fingerings are based on those used for the real instrument.

You may choose between major and minor scales.

The left half of the chanter image is for the "top" hand, the right half is the "bottom" hand.

The bar at the bottom center is the left thumb hole that is on the back of a real chanter.

You may perform finger vibrato for expression on most notes with the middle finger of the right hand. Vibrato depth is adjustable with the on-screen control.

Touch the drones in the background painting to start/stop the drones.

Touch the Stop sign at the lower right corner of the screen to stop all sounds.

Touch the 'i' icon at the upper right corner of the screen to show/hide the on-screen volume and drone startup pitch ramp controls. All settings are saved and restored the next time the app is run.

Touch the '?' icon at the lower left corner of the screen to show/hide the on-screen help and fingering chart.

On the real Sackpipa, you have to keep your left thumb covering the back chanter hole for all notes except the highest one. On the app, the back chanter hole is provided by the gray bar (lights up green) at the bottom of the screen under your left thumb. If you aren't hearing any different notes, make sure your left thumb is on the bar.

Next, touch the bar at the bottom with your left thumb, and touch the left half of the chanter starting with the tips of your left index, middle, and ring fingers. Next touch the right half of the chanter with the tips of your right index, middle, ring, and little fingers. The tips of the fingers must be used, not the flats.

This initial version has sounds with a full sounding chorus effect.

Future updates will include dry sound sets and additional tunings."

Update:
"Korg Monotribe Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer Station

— Analog Synth + Analog Rhythm + Step Sequencer = Analog Electribe - In a world seemingly ruled by digital, Korg created an analog sensation with the palm-sized monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. Today, Korg once again takes up the analog banner with the amazing monotribe Analog Ribbon Station; a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body.

Korg's monotribe shares the monotron's analog DNA, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis, monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with built-in speakers and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable, able to deliver your ideas with style and personality.

True Analog Synthesis
The monotribe's sound engine uses technology old and new, merging the powerful sound of analog synthesis with the dexterity and playability required in today's groove making environments. Analog technology is essential for fast and responsive control, and delivers the full sonic spectrum from warm and easy-going to full-throttle rampage.

Three-Part Analog Drums
The monotribe provides a three-part rhythm section powered by discrete analog circuitry; bass drum, snare, and hi-hat. These three sounds were the key elements in a generation of analog beat making, and are still in demand today. Use these powerful drum sounds to generate distinctive beats attainable only from the monotribe.

Circuit-Bent Casio SK-1 custom Modular sk1



via this auction

"The Diabolical Modified Casio SK-1 (Version 3) is the new and improved circuit-bent glitch monster from Diabolical Devices. Create vast sound-sacapes, unique synth sounds and total chaos, all packed inside your favorite childhood toy. The Casio SK-1 is loaded with original features, sampling capabilities, and great sounds (for what it was....) 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. The circuit-bending and synth mods are the work of head-technician James Gramling who has spent the last 12 years in professional audio service and electronics prototyping. Check out the new www.circuit-bent.com for updated specs, custom work questions, and new releases from Diabolical Devices.

This is the latest in our series of custom modular SK-1s by Diabolical Devices. A incredible amount of labor and materials have gone into make this one of our most extensively modified, and visually appealing SKs to date. Circuit-bent SK-1 are famous for their seemingly endless variety of unique glitches and soundscapes, we have designed the features on this SK to let you get the most out these one of a kind devices. Inspired by the MS-20 and other early modular synthesizers this is a functional art piece with amazing sounds and stunning visual effects. Hand made wooden enclosure and 100% custom panels are loaded with ultra violet LEDs which shine through patch-bay and connectors. Check out the features below. This SK is one of a kind and its specific features will not be duplicated. When no modifications are engaged this instrument will behave like a 100% stock SK-1

Modular SK-1 Features :
Solid wood enclosure: High quality construction and paint
Custom fabricated and labeled panels with LED backlighting
Bending interface: 20 point bending patch-bay using 1/8" phono connectors. When these points are linked directly using provided patch cables or routed through bending accessories a wide variety of effects, glitches, drones, and other unique sounds can be generated. Everything from playable effects to circuit-bent madness. These points also interact with the onboard LFOs and square-wave generator, as well as some CV and audio signals. Experimentation is the key to unlocking some of the most unique audio and soundscapes you will ever hear.

Bending Accessories: The bending points, and the reaction they will generate can be altered and further manipulated using the selection of patchable electronic components located next to the main bending patch bay. Features two silicone diodes, two potentiometers, and two patchable switches.

Dual LFO and Square-Wave Generator: This section serves a few different purposes. First, it's a stand alone analog synthesizer capable of some amazing pulsing and droning sounds. Second it can be patched into bending points for a variety of unique reactions, and finally the output can be patched into the SK-1's sampling line input (relocated to added panel assembly) for some amazing sampled sounds.

Main Audio Output and Sampling Line Input relocated to panel assembly. Main output disconnects internal speaker which was left in tact and fully functional.

CPU clock mod/PITCH: Added clock source generator allows for a wide range in pitch from WAY below to well above normal pitch. This modification has a bypass switch which allows you to select either the original internal CLK or added external CLK.

Master Power Switch

MIDI Retrofit: Highly Liquid MIDI input kit has been installed in this unit, the MIDI Channel select switches have been relocated to the front panel assembly for easy access.

LED color change on SK-1: The only thing actually changed physically about the SK-1 is that the main power LED was changed from Red to Blue, All other cosmetic features were left original (except for the big box around it.....). Speaker and all onboard controls work as normal, and when none of the modifications are engaged this machine will behave as a 100% stock Casio SK-1."

Blacet Time Machine FracRack Modular Synth Analog Delay

via this auction

"The Time Machine is a high quality voltage controlled analog delay using a 80’s technology BBD (Bucket Brigade Delay) IC. Sophisticated tracking filters allow variable bandwidth delays from 10 mS to 2 S. A compander system minimizes noise and expands the dynamic range of the unit. Voltage control of the delay time is nominally exponential, meaning the delay time will double or halve for each change of one volt in control voltage. This allows convenient setting of the delay time and gives balanced modulation results. The TM2050 includes a built in voltage controlled resettable triangle wave modulation generator (LFO) with voltage controlled modulation depth. External modulation may also be mixed with the internal LFO . With no external modulation input, the signal envelope may be mixed in. Voltage controlled regeneration with either + or - phase is also included. The Cancel input allows voltage controlled attenuation of the delay effect. Standard effects possible with this unit include flanging, doubling, chorus, slap back echo and long delays. The extensive implementation of voltage controlled functions allows exploration of whole new areas of sound warping."
