New Schmidt Analog Synth Debuts at the Musikmesse

via John Bowen:
"I thought I’d get you the first news about a new, 8-voice all analog synthesizer debuting at Messe in the EMC/Moog Booth (along with the Solaris, Muse, Spektralis, and Mellotron stuff).

It has presets, it has 7 filters (3 ladder type, 4 state variable 12 dB set up as 2 ‘dual filters’) and 4 Oscs - each osc is a bit different. Something like 107 knobs on the thing!

The designer is Stefan Schmidt, but not the one who runs Native Instruments - it’s yet another ‘Smith’ in the synth world :-)

It’s got stereo outs, individual voice outs, and some control voltage inputs (I think 4). I’ll try to get you more info later.

By the way - it sounds great!

And it’s a REAL heavyweight synth - with the travel case (like an anvil case) it’s 55 kilos!!

p.s. we are starting production finally - I have 4 production units of Solaris at the show."

Update: trying to find out if this is the Stefan Schmidt from TBS/MAM mentioned here. If anyone knows feel free to comment or email.

Update 5/6: John Bowen confirmed it is the same Schmidt. The following is via Juergen Haible who is known for his own designs specifically in the Synth DIY world:

"That's *the* Stefan Schmidt, all right.

I've followed the development of this synth over the last 8 years or so, and have always been forced to keep my mouth shut and keep it a secret. So it finally has hit the Musikmesse and it's out in the open. From what I've seen and heard, this will be the most powerful analogue polysynth *ever*, if it goes into production. It's not the typical "modern" approach of having a knob-ladden panel connected to a small piece of electronics with specialized chips. On the contrary, it's stuffed with opamps and OTAs to the brim, and each of the endless filter functions is realized in such discrete hardware. An absolutely amazing design, from one of the most dedicated synth designers on this planet.

JH."

Rumors on the price? $25,000 euros. Only one is currently in existence.

Update 5/7:

MESSE11: Mother Of God - Its The Schmidt Polysynth

via Sonic State

Some highlights:
157 knobs - all parameters on the front panel.
Panel folds down.
LED color knob and colors can be saved per patch.
Four VCO at 8 voice polyphony for 32 analog oscillators.
Seven filters.
Many modulations per OSC, filter, etc.
Stereo.
New innovative functions - unique oscillator with four points modulation on OSC1, metallic oscillator that makes digital sounds, but is fully analog.
Schmidt made the MAM MB-33 - again, see this link for some history.
Schmidt started eight years ago on this synth. He spent six full years focused on it.

Update 4/8: some audio at the end. via D in the comments.

"This is an awesome analog synth 16 step sequencer. Made by a man in peru, who i think is a genius. This unit is no longer in production! You can program 4 sequences in each bank and play them together. You can sync the tempo to midi. Sounds amazing, and looks great in the dark! Extremely easy to use."

Buchla sequence with ZOe module


YouTube Uploaded by Oxix52 on Apr 5, 2011

"This is a short sequence I did using the ZOe and other modules of the Buchla. The ZOe has a very rich and varied sound. I really like the stereo effect you get from panning the quadrature outputs opposite each other. I haven't really figured out much on it yet, but I'm having fun exploring!"

Silent Way ES-1 + CR-78 + Modular + Moog FreqBox


YouTube Uploaded by s0LVentCIty on Apr 5, 2011

"Hi my name is Solvent and this is my 2nd Eurorack modular system video. The big news here is that I've got everything running from Expert Sleepers Silent Way (via Ableton Live) - no Midi, no Midi-to-CV/clock, just Silent Way converting audio directly into CVs and Gates, from my Presonus audio interface into an Expert Sleepers ES-1 module... I've even got my CR-78 clocked via a Silent Way LFO!

The first half is all about that sizzly bassline - DinSync OSC303 + Moog FreqBox's VCO, Bubblesound Sem20's HPF being modulated by an LFO coming from the Korg MS20. Sequence pattern is bring altered in real time by the Intellijel uScale quantizer.

The 2nd half is all about processing the CR-78 through the Flight of Harmony Plague Bearer, which is a weird filter that aims to destroy. And I think it does a fine job of that here."

Dual Cyndustries Zeroscillator

"WATCH YOUR EARS AND SPEAKERS. There are big volume jumps and some sounds clip the poor little FlipHD microphone. Please be careful, I'm not sure the YT encoding is going to limit that stuff and clean it up. This is my first patch with this setup, just screwing around. Through zero FM and Wave Folding from a Metalbox-built CGS Wave Multiplier, through a Thomas White LPG clone and with help from a Topp 281 Function Generator and Fonik Attenuverter. 2nd ZO is in LFO mode and sending CV to every interesting input on the other modules. Noisy! Spooky! Fun!"

Dual Zeroscillator, take 2

Uploaded by dwenius on Mar 27, 2011

"WATCH YOUR EARS AND SPEAKERS. Unpredictable volume fluctuations and very low frequencies. YouTube's compression algorithm has NO IDEA what to do with this. I mean, it's supposed to be noisy and weird but...not that much. Similar patch as take 1, except with a faster envelope for the typical pinging FM sounds. No "Buchla bongos", though. Still the first bit of noodli9ng with this little lunchbox of doom. Careful viewers will spot the point where I turn a knob with nothing connected to it. Oops. Helps to use your eyes. Thanks to Cynthia, Mike at Metalbox, Thomas White, Toppobrillo, Fonik, Ken Stone, and Todd Fletcher for helping make these modules possible."

via Muff's:
"First patch with the ZOWI and associated new DIY and custom Wiard format modules. Completely random noisy noodling; watch for the spot in the 2nd video where I turn a knob with nothing attached to it d'oh! I had an hour with nobody in the house and figured I'd provide the promised videos; more to come for sure. CAUTION: particularly in the first video, there are some big volume jumps and a resonant screech or two. Watch your ears and speakers! The resonance on the Thomas White RLPG is no joke!

Basic patch is: ZO sin output -> CGS Wave Multiplier "Folds" section -> RLPG. 2nd ZO is in LFO mode, one pair of quadrature outs goes to folds CV and Offset CV, the Folds CV is also multed to control the LPG freq. 2nd pair of quadrature outs go to the Attack and Decay CV of a cycling 281 envelope. One Attenuverting output is used as an offset to the v/Oct in of the LFO speed ZO, providing crude manual control of event timing smile Slight delay and too much nasty reverb from a Boss RE-20 in the FX loop of the MFOS stereo mixer that's just offscreen in the Euro rig."

Wasp Dual Bandpass filters in series


YouTube Uploaded by dwenius on Jan 20, 2010

"The Metalbox Dual Wasp filter is here driven by a sawtooth sequence, modulated with an AR envelope, and also fed with inverted copies of the same 8 note sequence (different than the note data). This is a real sweet spot for this filter and this brief example only hints at the vocal timbres possible."

Metalbox Dual Wasp

Uploaded by dwenius on Jan 20, 2010

"Here we have a demo of the Metalbox Dual Wasp filter, based on the CMOS filter from the EDP Wasp. This is a state-variable design that won't quite self-oscillate, but takes FM like a champ and has some very exploitable circuit features. This demo shows the Low Pass mode filtering a saw wave, with LFO modulation ranging between a slow sinewave sweep to audio-rate FM.

It is very difficult to make a video of this filter that is short enough to upload to You Tube! It sucks you in and boom, 15 minutes and 3GB go by..."

Djembe with Heavy Effecting (OTO Biscuit)


YouTube Uploaded by FatSynthDude on Apr 5, 2011

"A friend of mine was in town the other night and we were goofing off in the studio when we started playing around with the hand percussion. He brought up using a contact mic on the doumbek when I remembered that I was in possession of a contact mic that I had never used. We taped it up to the head, sent it to the OTO Biscuit, and sure enough it was super duper awesome, so the next night I tried the same thing with my djembe and recorded the results. I apologize for my awful playing. This video was intended to demonstrate the range of tones possible with hand percussion sent through heavy effects unlike those typically associated with recorded percussion.

This video is my Toca Freestyle djembe (12" head) with the contact mic on the head and a dynamic microphone shoved up inside of it. For part of the video, these two mics were sent to the Presonus StudioLives and the onboard preamps were used. For both the head and the body channels, they were compressed and EQ'd by the StudioLives. The recorded audio is from the main outs of the StudioLives. The effects used (in order of appearance) are a Zoom 1202 (for it's reverb, delay, and pitch shifting), and a Digitech GSP5 (distortion and delay). For the bulk of the video, the mics were then passed through the OTO Biscuit (sample reducer, bit crusher, filter, pitch shifter, delay, waveshaper, step filter and lofi sampler) and into the StudioLives for mixing. Later in the video, a reverb from the StudioLives is put into play. Additional drums are provided by a Novation Drumstation v2 with sequencing done by an Akai MPC1000 (JJOS2XL functionality was utilized for grid sequencing.) In case you're wondering why I frequently rock the djembe back and forth, how open the bottom hole is determines pitch and tone to a certain degree. This effect is much more pronounced with distortion.

A Toca Freestyle doumbek was also utilized, however I didn't press the record button on the camera, so only the audio is present. This was miced up the same way as the djembe with the contact mic on the head and the dynamic microphone inside of the drum itself."

Traveling by train


YouTube Uploaded by attorks on Apr 5, 2011

"This time some music without using the Modulars. The song starts with the Zoom RhythmTrak RT-323 drummachine. After that the arpeggiated chords on the Waldorf Q Keyboard join in. The arpeggiator of the Q is clocked using MIDI from the drummachine. The solo's are performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1. The Mellotron choir sound comes from the Roland XP-80 which MIDI input is connected to the MIDI output of the Q so I can play the Q and the XP-80 from the Q's keyboard. All in all a very compact piece of music but I hope you will like it.

Octatrack Custom Multiband Compressor


YouTube Uploaded by Catabolicdj on Apr 5, 2011

"Although it doesn't directly support it, the Octatrack can be set up to operate as a multiband compressor. Here's an acoustic drum sample loop (from the Elektron presets) on Track 1. As it stands, it has a raw feeling. After multiband compressing it sounds more polished. The prominent snare is tucked back with a bit of squashing and the kick has more oomph. You can then sample this version and have two versions at your disposal. Run one version during the intro+break and the other while the vocal is going. Or switch them in and out to make subtle variations in the groove. For comparison purposes, the track levels are set so that the overall loudness of both versions is about the same. HD available."

Oberheim Strummer

via this auction
"Oberheim came out with this in the early 1990s along with it’s product the Drummer. a midi drum pattern sequencer. The Strummer will transform your keyboard playing into a stunning and convincing performance featuring realistic guitar articulation. By looking at such factors as the range of the guitar, the number of notes being played, chord position, and the velocity of the performance. Strummer can transform the incoming MIDI data out into performance data emulating that of a real guitarist. Performance data may be delayed, echoed, harmonized, transposed and sent back out on multiple MIDI channels. In addition to control over strum direction and speed, the Strummer also features Chord Capture for real time single finger chords. Individual picking patterns and riffs may be assigned to a single key for real time performance playback. You can even control the number of "strings" being strummed via keyboard velocity. With Strummer Keyboard players now can emulate guitar techniques on their synthesizers and samplers to create incredibly authentic guitar sounds. The Strummer listens to chords played on a MIDI keyboard and plays them back through a MIDI sound source (synthesizer or sampler) just as they would be played from a guitar. Chord voicings will now be correct to accurately reproduce guitar sounds and the chords can actually be "strummed".

The Strummer can change the speed and direction of the "strums" just by changing the way the keyboard is played. Also, the Strummer has the ability to distinguish between chords and single notes, allowing chords to be sent over one MIDI channel, while single notes are sent out over a different channel (like a solo lead guitarsound).

In addition, the Strummer includes many other important features:
· MIDI Delay (Echo)
· Adjustable delay and decay rates
· Multiple MIDI channel output
· Velocity switching
· Keyboard splitting
· Chord voicing variations
· Arpeggiation
· Chord Capture (adjustable single finger chords)
· Transposition of MIDI delay (great for MIDI harmonizing)
· Synchronizes to MIDI timing clocks (External Sync)
· MIDI program changes
· Supports MIDI Sysex for storage transfer of user defined patches"

Yusynth CV Standards 1V Octave Analog Modular


via this auction
"Brand new. Highest quality parts available - no compromises. Artfully hand wired in the 5U MOTM / Moog format... Yusynth Standards Synthesizer Module. Change the pitch of three VCOs with precision from one module! I use it for all types stuff: changing the intervals on my VCOs, 1/V tuning of my VCOs and Filters, quickly changing the CV coming out of my Klee sequencer, etc. An extremely versatile module.

Building this module requires precise calibration of over 26 multiturn trimmers! Save yourself the time, hassle, and inevitable troubleshooting by purchasing this Klee fully and professionally assembled by Free State FX.

Here is some information about the Standards from the Yusynth Website:

"This utility modules provides switchable discrete CVs with useful intervals such as :

octaves; eleven 1V steps from 0V to 10V (useful to control the yusynth VCOs which have no octave range switches);
semitones; eleven 1/12 V steps from -0.4166V to 0.4166V (useful to detune a VCO with semitone intervals)
These stepped CVs are available independently on three voices and for each voice three buffered outputs are provided in order to drive more than one module (these are not multiples but true electrically separated and buffered outputs).

Also for each voice, an external CV can be summed to the stepped voltages. These inputs are intended for connecting external controllers such as a keyboard or a sequencer. Note that the input of voices 2 and 3 are defaulted to the previous input. For example if one connects a keyboard CV to IN #1 then this CV is echoed on the two others voices. But if one connects three different CVs on the three inputs, then each voice is only driven by the corrsponding input." - Yves Usson

NEW Electro-Music Klee Analog Sequencer


via this auction
"Brand new. Highest quality parts available - no compromises. Artfully hand wired in the 5U MOTM / MOOG Format.

For those that don't know, the Klee is the most feature packed, crazy, beautifully insane sequencer out there. Every option is implemented in this layout. Once you get one the Klee in your rack, you'll wonder how you managed without it. It can function like any other 16 step sequencer out there, or it can function like it has a brain of it's own. Easily programmed with your own ideas, or flip the Random Switch and find out what "it" has in mind. An endless source of inspiration.

This is one BIG build. Save yourself the time, hassle, and inevitable troubleshooting by purchasing this Klee fully and professionally assembled by Free State FX.

The Klee, pronounced Clay, is a shift register based sequencer. What makes the Klee different from most sequencers is that more than one Stage/Step can be active at any given time. Most sequencers have one active Stage, the CV for that Stage is programmed via the pot, and the CV is then sent to the CV Out. With the Klee, one or more stages can be active at one time, the CV programmed by the active Stages is added together, and is then sent to the CV Out. This function just scratches the surface of what the Klee is capable of

This Klee been modified with Bi-Color LEDs so Stage LEDs 9-6 are green when the sequencer is in 2X8 mode. All other LEDs are red.

I could not possibly list all the functions of the Klee here. More inormation about how to use the Klee can be found here:

Roland VP330 Vocoder Plus Synthesizer


YouTube Uploaded by KM65536 on Jul 13, 2007


via this auction

"One of the coolest instruments out there. The vocoder shapes its envelope and filters by any sound source fed into it, your voice or even a drum loop can be used which is then applied to another sound source, typically a synth pad. This creates a very unique and famous robot-like sound. (think of the vocal sound on daft punk's "robot rock" or kraftwerk's "autobahn" etc...) as you can see there's a built in microphone input on the back so you can plug a microphone directly into this thing and be ready to go. no mic pre-amp needed.

Aside from the 10-band vocoder, the VP-330 added a string synth section, choir and a human-voice sound, both of which are quite excellent themselves. Its 3 sound sections offer a few different presets that can be slightly edited with de-tuning and vibrato. The VP-330 is one of the best Vocoder synths ever and although there are many other types of Vocoders, none sound as good as this!

this video has a pretty good example of what the VP-330 vocoder sounds ( at around 0:50)"
