ROLAND MPU 101 MIDI to CV CONVERTER

via this auction
"Controls up to four individual synths with various modes and trigger functions.

For example the 4 voice button will trigger each synth sequentially eg:- if you have four CV synths connected the first note of the midi sequence or arpeggio that is input will be played by synth one, the second note of the sequence or arpeggio will be played by synth two etc... etc... > fifth not will again trigger synth one etc...etc... as you might imagine the range of possibilities are endless and this can produce some very unique and amazing sequences with the onus obviously on the expertise of the synthesist in question to produce the magic from the various synths connected.

The same type feature also exists for two and three voices if you have two or three synths connected.

MIDI TO CV INTERFACE

The MPU-101 is unique in that it converts MIDI data into analog signals. When the MPU-101 is connected to a MIDI sending unit, a conventional 1 -volt/octave Cv/gate synthesizer such as the SH-101, SH-2, SH-5, SH-07, System-100M etc... can be controlled by MIDI data.
Other voltage-controlled devices can also be controlled. For example, you can automatically synchronize lighting equipment with your performance.
The gate signals can also be used as trigger signals to control a percussion sound source like the Boss PC-2 or HC-2, a sampling unit such as the Boss DSD-2, or a digital delay, for example the Boss DE-200.

The MPU-101 can expand your MIDI system's potential just as much as your imagination allows.
The MPU-101 has four output channels, each with pitch control voltage, gate signal, and dynamics control signal outputs. Up to four CV synthesizers can be controlled by MIDI data.
ln addition to the key information, other MIDI data including velocity. bender modulation, after touch, and volume information is converted into analog signals. Complicated MIDI data can completely be converted.
The MID channel can be assigned to one of 1 to 16.

Five operation modes are provided for a variety of applications.

1. Mono Mode: Four CV synthesizers can be controlled by MIDI data transmitted on four different MIDI channels.
The bass, melody, and other parts of a composition played by different CV synthesizers can be controlled by MIDI data transmitted on different MIDI channels.

2. 2-Voice Mode: MIDI data for up to two notes is converted into CV/gate signals and comes through outputs 1 and 2.

3. 3-Voice Mode: MIDI data for up to three notes is converted into CV/gate signals and comes through outputs 1, 2, and 3.

4. 4-Voice Mode: MIDI data for up to four notes is converted into CV/gate signals and comes through outputs 1, 2, 3, and 4.

5. Special Mode: MIDI data for the highest note, the lowest note. and the latest note is converted and comes through different outputs.

A MIDI Out jack is provided in addition to the MIDI In and Thru jacks. Up to 8 CV synthesizers can be controlled by combining two MPU-101's.
When the connected MIDI sending unit is in the poly mode, three different assign modes are accessible, then the MIDI key information can be
assigned to four outputs in three different ways. An Octave Transpose function simultaneously shifts the pitch control voltage of four CV outputs one octave up or down.

A Gate Indicator on each output channel confirms the flow of the gate signals."

Blue River

YouTube Uploaded by davidryle on Apr 30, 2011

"The core of this patch idea was to use the Yusynth Random Gates module along with two Q962 Sequential Switches and two Q128 Switch modules to control the various clock gates for the envelopes as well as the pitches coming from six rows of sequencers. A final set of noise sequence was done with the STG time suite. A last drone of four oscillators doing a slower drone finished off the voices.
A midi out from the Q172 Quantizer module was sent to a Prophet 08 for a doubling of the two note drone."

Analogue Solutions Leipzig-s Synthesizer #01: Bass Detonation

YouTube Uploaded by rezfilter on May 1, 2011

"Here's a brief first look at the Analogue Solutions Leipzig-s analogue synthesizer [www.analoguesolutions.com].

This beast of a synth represents the latest in Analogue Solutions' Leipzig line and incorporates a vast number of new features, most notably the 8-step on-board sequencer which can be synced and controlled in a vast number of innovative ways (midi, LFO, VCO, etc.)

This video serves as a first glimpse of the synth - yes, it's a teaser. The evolving sound uses the Leipzig's on-board step sequencer, however the pitch of the notes is controlled via MIDI. The sequencer can also be stepped manually via a MIDI keyboard.

Sequencer reset is handled via accent (or using heavy velocity on a MIDI note).

A beat was added to provide some context for the evolving bass line.

Enjoy."

New EMS Synthi A's are Shipping!

via digitana_electronics on Muff's

"Hi all..thought this might be better in a new thread as the previous one was all about 'speculation' etc about when new EMS(Cornwall) Synthi A's and VCS3's would be shipping again.

Well the Synthi A's have started shipping. These are photos were kindly sent to me by someone who has been on the waiting list since 1998. He received it a few days ago..

You'll notice it still retains the Bulgin AC socket and there is no prestopatch socket. I think keeping the Bulgin socket is good idea on a Synthi A(S) as an IEC socket would look out of place to my eyes.. Pity the prestopatch connector wasn't kept though..

Anyway the buyer also had Robin add a bunch of mods before shipping it :-

Osc sync on Osc 2
Hi/lo frequency range on all 3 oscillators
Osc 3 stabilisation (this is done as standard for Osc 1 & 2)
VC shape on Osc 2 & 3
Patchable inverter
Switchable filter mode 18/24 dB
Switchable filter unslew
VC filter response

Mattson sample and hold used to sample pitch cv...

YouTube Uploaded by hewstigator on Apr 30, 2011

"Many of you no doubt already know this technique well, but I stumbled onto it today and thought I would share just in case. Usually sample and hold modules are used to sample an oscillator or audio signal... but here is what it sounds like if you use it to pluck a pitch here and there out of a melody.

When the tune starts, you see me dialing in and then adjusting the octave of a vco whose pitch is coming out of the sample and hold unit. The sample and hold is capturing pitch voltages at a very fast rate at first so it seems to play in unison with the other vco but I slow it down so you can hear it just grab a note here and there. You can also set this particlar mattson s&h module to track and hold so that on the downside of the clock cv it will just play the melody as is, and on the up-side it will hold whatever note it sampled....

the tune i have here probably doesn't do it much justice, but trust me, it sounds VERY and psychedelic with the right amount of reverse 'verb or multi-tap swelling. i was going to just use the effect (e.g., on my memory man hazarai) on the video, but then i realized it was too hard to hear what was going on... shrug!"
