"Here is a new tune Polyjazz that I made on my Apple Ipad with Korg iPolysix.
Korg iPolysix, brings us back to the 80's with an emulation of Korg polysix's vintage keyboard. Well it will never be like the real korg polysix, but still give us a little taste of what this beast was able to create. Don't hesitate to drop your comments and feedback.

"For sale is a rare Roland MC500 MkII. This might be the nicest and most complete MC500 set you will find around. I got this from an original Roland gear tester, he lightly used this during Roland's testing period for the machine and then it went it its original box and in storage. It's very well maintained, the machine itself works perfectly and is in excellent, near mint shape. The box is also in great shape with original foam cutouts. The biggest bonus is the 8 discs included, which are quite rare, along with original manuals all in pristine shape. A classic sequencer and nice alternative to the Akai MPC60/ASQ10 or Alesis MMT8. An amazing set for collectors..."

Tone2 RayBlaster Promo Video


YouTube Published on Nov 28, 2012 by Tone2Audiosoftware

2nd video, also added to the Tone2 Rayblaster Feature Overview post.
The following description is the same as what's in the previous post.

"Rayblaster employs a new synthesis technique called Impulse Modelling Synthesis (IMS)

Opposed to using looped waveforms, Impulse Modelling Synthesis creates its sound by using short bursts of energy, which are then combined to form its sound. Allowing free manipulation of pitch, time and timbre in real-time, to create complex compositions.

IMS no longer requires a separate filter section, its oscillators can authentically mimic the filter sound of other synthesizers and filters, using one of the factory impulse presets or by simply importing one of your own impulses. RayBlaster is capable of modelling both the sound of existing filters, as well as create completely new artificial filters, exclusive to Rayblaster.

Next to importing filter characteristics into its oscillators, Rayblaster also offers resynthesize options to import the waveform of any other source or synthesizer. By using one of the quick importers, or by directly importing your sample into one of Rayblaster's four oscillators, providing a large amount of possible wave-shapes, all capable of being morphed in real-time.

RayBlaster ships with an inspiring library of over 500 outstanding presets from some of the world's top sound designers. Many complex sounds such as arpeggiators, vocals or drumloops automatically synchronize to the BPM.
For fast & easy access to the specific sound you desire, all sounds are arranged into categories, making them easy to locate whether for live performance or within a professional studio environment.

Cyclone Analogic Bass Bot TT-303 Hardware TB-303 Clone Released


Update 11/28: Update on the price:

UK: £449.00 + VAT
EU: €549.00 + VAT
US: $699.99 + VAT

Update: additional pics & PDF via Lorne/kidtronic via Rhythm Active.

Remember the Bass Bot TT-303 demo videos posted here back on October 18?   Well, it is currently available as of today, and it is the first product from a new company named Cyclone Analogic based in Hong Kong (possible sites not yet live: http://www.cyclone-analogic.com | http://www.tt-303.com).  You will find full details on the TT-303 further below.

Before we get to that, Robin Whittle, who brought us the Devilfish Mods for the original TB-303, will be performing them for the TT-303 as well. You can find details on his page here.

Lorne aka kidtronic wrote in to let us know Rhythm Active in Australia, one of our sponsors, currently has the TT-303 available. I also hear Syntaur in the US has them for $649.95 $699.95 plus $14.95 shipping to the lower 48.  Syntaur adds the following details: "There is a nicely-done printed manual - on real paper, with ink! Just like back in the analog days of yore... Also a power adapter, and a MIDI break-out cable. (The TT-303 has a single 8-pin MIDI jack. A standard 5-pin cable can be used for MIDI In only, and the break-out cable - 8-pin jack to two 5-pin cables - can be used for MIDI In and Out.)" Update 11/28: Modular Square in France (one of our sponsors) will have them in stock soon (via Twitter).

The following details are via Superior Sound London, who currently shows them as being sold out in the UK:

"The Bass Bot TT 303 electronic bass synth features a selectable monophonic analog VCO processed through a 4 pole analog cascading filter. It uses 21st-century transistor technology to synthesize tones from super-crisp self-resonating leads to squelchy rhythms and deep subharmonic bass grooves.

Creating music as simple or complex as you want with the Bass Bot is a breeze. Its ground-breaking InstaDJ OS is an artificially intelligent sequencer and can be programmed in two methods: by a human user or by the computer-controlled Bass Bot.

Humans may program musical patterns manually using traditional step entry with control over pitch, time, length and special characteristics such as octave transpose, accent and slide for each note.

Alternatively let the Bot generate a pattern and use it immediately, tweak it to taste, or mutate it into a new pattern altogether at the touch of a button. The Bass Bot TT 303 includes seven different ‘personalities’ each of which generates its own special style of musical patterns. No two Bots will produce the same patterns. Each is as individual as the user, though the basic personalities are the same for every Bass Bot.

The Bass Bot TT 303 features seven unique preset personality programs, capable to generate up to 224 computer generated presets by the Bass Bot ™.

An additional 224 Editable Patterns can compose up to 7 songs of up to 127 bars. All information is saved to onboard flash (permanent) memory and transferable directly to other Bass Bots via 8 Pin DIN cable (cloning) or to PC / MAC (backup) for storage with a downloadable transfer application available on our website. Other platforms to be supported soon.

FEATURES
• Monophonic selectable (saw, square) VCO with 24db 4 pole analogue filter.
• User or Bot generated programmable patterns with InstaDJ ™ sequencer.
• MIDI IN by default / MIDI IN and OUT (with provided splitter cable).

Vacoloco Working on Aurora - New Polyphonic Hardware Synth


via Vacoloco

"So, What is Aurora?

Well, my band (Her Dark Embrace) recently went into the recording studio to record our EP. The Engineer was very into electronics and synths and we had some great chats. He asked the question “So, you play keyboards and you build synths, so why don’t you use your own?” Really good question I thought, I replied “Everything I play is chords/pads and I’ve only built monosynths, I’ve never built a polysynth.” to which he asked “why not?“, I had no answer.

So I thought about it and I’d had the basics of a monosynth design on the drawing board so to speak, so whilst on holiday I finished the design and when I returned ordered some PCBs

Over the last month I’ve begun building a single voice board, first an oscillator, then I ported the code from the oscillator chip in Zira and modified the code, so I have two oscillators with 56 waveforms a piece, with hard sync and adjustable mix..."

Mono synths on a single board stacked for polyphony much like the vintage synths of yore. The Oberheim OB series come to mind. Very, very cool.

A Few PTG Envelope Patches.mp4

Published on Nov 27, 2012 by SteadyStateFate
"A few PTG envelope patches.
First patch uses the PTG as a VCA that feeds the DMF-2 Filter. The inveretd VCA signal is then used to modulate the filter to create the metallic ZONG!
The rest of the patches utilize the WMDevices Multimode VCA along with the DMF-2 and later with the ProModular CLOQ as a modulation source.
All of the patches are triggered by the Make Noise PP/Brains and in some cases CV from the PP.
Thanks and enjoy!"

Maestro Woodwind

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"Incredibly rare vintage 60s Maestro Woodwind analogue effects box complete with clarinet pickup and original carry case! I think it's the rarest "W1" model. Not sure where to start with this...

It's primarily designed for playing Clarinet or Saxophone through, then passing it into an amp but can also be used as a guitar effect, synth effect or you can put just about anything through it via the inputs.

You can hear this all over the woodwind on a lot of the Frank Zappa records - infact, it's on the inside sleeve of Hot Rats. Used by Kraftwerk also. It sounds a lot like loads of effects on early Roxy Music/ Brian Eno stuff...

In theory it has settings like "Cello" and "Horn" which transform the woodwind sound via pitch shift/ tracking etc.

BUT, you can also coax various 60s Maestro fuzz sounds out of it (they made very expensive classics like the Brassmaster etc.) by putting whatever you want through it.


The clarinet socket was switched to a 1/4" socket by the previous owner, which makes it easier for feeding signals through. There's a very slight dent where they did it - you can see in the picture. Output is on two 1/4" jacks. This allows you to get really good stereo effects. It also has a tremolo and EQ! You can apply effects to each output.

If you want to run a guitar or signal from a mixing desk/ Pro Tools through the unit then you should use a preamp or signal booster before it so it can track the notes OK. Also, best to run it into a DI box or instrument inputs on your soundcard/ desk.

If you want to use the Maestro with a clarinet then use the pickup/ barrel in place of the usual one on your clarinet. Has fitted every single clarinet I've used it with (Buffet, Bundy etc.)

All in all a very eccentric and unique box, rare as hen's teeth. I was told this one was made in the 60s which would make sense. It's in really good condition and looks amazing. Probably a real collectors piece. Very useful and fun for studio sessions/ mixing.

Only made in the US I think - so you'll have to use a plug adapter which you can get really easily (and cheaply) at Maplin/ most places..."

WATKINS WEM IC 300 COPICAT

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"Offered for sale here is this excellent IC300 Copicat: amongst the best-sounding of the tape Copicats - from an echo point of view (the valve Copicats do make great preamps, but don't produce as clear echoes). This is amongst the best examples we've had - it's had a very easy life and is very clean indeed and sounding fantastic.

It is in excellent working order - the heads have been cleaned and demagnetised and it's been fitted with a three-core earthed mains cable to comply with current safety regulations. It sounds as good as a Copicat can. The case is in superb condition, which is increasingly rare and it comes with its original footswitch (see photos below for details). Operationally it's a very good example indeed - all heads replay at an even level and tone - very inspiring to play. All knobs are crackle-free (some crackle may develop over time through lack of use - easily rectified by a few turns or in excessive cases, judicious use of suitable switch cleaner).

It works well with all sorts of sources, and is a great unit for dub delays - sounds lovely when feeding back into self-oscillation. The footswitch socket that is located in the rear compartment carries a wet-only signal enabling this to be used as a send on a mixing desk for dubtastic echo effects.
The echoes are even in level/tone across all four heads, and self-oscillate raucously when the sustain knob is turned up. The repeats are not particularly hifi in nature - they have a pleasing crunch to them which sits well behind whatever you're playing: this is not a digital delay unit!

It's fitted with a new WEM tape - because Copicats only use a short length of tape (compared to Echoplexes or Space Echoes) the tape should be changed regularly for optimum performance. We can supply quantities of tape loops if required. We use and supply both genuine WEM loops (still manufactured/supplied by Charlie Watkins) and loops from MyTape Echo. Usually if there is any overpayment on postage costs, we make up any excess with spare loops, but please get in touch if you require an extra supply.

It is a UK 240v model so will require a step-up transformer for use in countries with 100-110v mains supplies - the UK plug will be removed for overseas sales to countries with a 240v supply (unless otherwise requested).
