SYNARE 3X Analog Electronic Drum Synth

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Synare synth drums are very underrated for what they can deliver which is a diverse range of synth tones.

Everyone has heard the classic 70's disco drum sound but the Synare is capable of a lot more.

Fat bass tones, a huge palette of analog drum & synth sounds, plus wild sound effects.

It has 2 oscillators which can deliver fat, complex and rich bass tones easily on par with the big names of vintage synths!

It also has a sweet-sounding analog filter with resonance that can self-oscillate, as well as other sound modifiers like decay.

The 3X has several presets but the fun begins on the 'manual' setting ('0') where a huge variety of sounds awaits.

Some possible uses are electronic noise / snare drums for drummers live - or for dub FX live like various UK sound system legends who use Synare like Jah Shaka - or to sample in order to create your own synth drum kits or sampler instruments like synth bass.

The Synare 3X is triggered by striking the top surface. It is also possible to modify Synares to be triggered by external audio or pulses if you connect a switching jack to the leads coming from the internal speaker.

The 3X has an internal switch (I am not sure if this enables external triggering via one of the 1/8inch jacks).

The 3X has 2 x 1/8 inch jacks which are for a DC power supply and to connect a 2cnd unit.

Comes with hardware so it can be attached to a drum stand.

The 3X does not come with an internal battery holder so you would want to secure batteries with gaffer tape or use a power adapter.

The oscillator 2 knob with the Synare 3X in this auction appears to be wired in reverse so the pitch goes up when you turn it to the left. For the rest it functions perfectly.

This drum has slight signs of use on the chassis and striking pad.

Runs on 2 x 9v batteries (included in this auction) or an external power supply (not included)."

Flame Tame Machine quantizer/beat looper eurorack module

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"from the flame website:

the module is a combination of quantizer and beat looper. a quantizer converts a continous control voltage (on cv-input) in the range of 0..+5v into a stepped output voltage in the same voltage range. the scale assign the possible voltage states. the quantizer can be triggered per external trigger input or per link of the pulse from the beat section. the module has 5 banks with each 7 patches for scales: bank 1-4 with 28 fixed preset scales and bank 5 with 7 patches for individual user scales. the keynote transposes the actually scale. keynote and scale can be set by external cv inputs (keynote, scale) or manually per keyboard buttons. the playing of keynotes is recordable over max. 4 measures. the keyboard buttons can be used like a mini keyboard (jack keygate=gate out, jack cv out=notes, octave setting with cv-2 ruler). the cv inputs and outputs has the moog characteristic (1v/oct.).

the second section can create individual beat patterns and can record over max. 4 measures. the gate ruler assigns the gate length of the beat output pulse (off, gate, hold) and the beat ruler assigns the rythm of the beat output pulse. also the beat section generates the cv-2 output with following settings:
- variable voltage between 0..+5 volt
- random between +1..+2 volt
- lfo down or up 0..+5 volt (fixed time interval over 1 measure).

the tap-tempo generates the internal tempo (two times 4th-tap) or per permanently external 16th clock. a reset input/push button sets the beat on measure 1 and sets also the reset output. the module generates automaticly a reset pulse on measure 1 (pulse lenght=16th).

software updates possible via usb (jack on pcb)!"

Wolfgang Palm Announces PPG Wavemapper

via Wolfgang Palm

Launch this audio demo and read.

"PPG WaveMapper is the second next-generation iOS based synth from Wolfgang Palm, who in 2012 released the PPG WaveGenerator to critical acclaim from both press and public.

In final development the PPG WaveMapper offers iPad users a second synthesiser to compliment the already loved PPG WaveGenerator from Wolfgang Palm. PPG WaveMapper allows the user the opportunity to create limitless sounds from this unique and powerful new technology.

PPG WaveMapper features the Sound Map, which maps the various sounds in a way to easily access and experiment with them, more importantly the PPG WaveMapper features a new synthesis system which maps the waveforms of a sound into a new kind of wavetable which preserves the sound characteristics better than classic Wavetable synthesis and at the same time allows for the manipulations which make WT synthesis so unique.

The Mapping window is the visualisation of a pool of programs on which 'modules' float. Those modules represent certain parameters of the synthesiser engine and each module can be placed on one of 32 programs. The moment an item is placed on map then the parameters of that module will take on the settings of those parameters in the underlying program on the Mapping window.

People who do not posses synth-programming skills can use this mapping technology as a starting point to create complex sounds. For example a user can drag a string sound source onto a drum envelope, or a guitar sound onto a string envelope – the concept is simple, yet incredibly powerful.

Power users can delve deep into the back end of any sound using a full set of professional features;

New Sound map concept – create new sounds playful and experimental
3 types of synthesis – the optimal type for kind of each sounds
Classic wavetables – for the typical PPG sounds
Time compressed samples – more authentic sounds, allowing analysis of user samples
Pure samples – classic sample playback
Analyzer – convert your own samples into the new format or into
wavetables
3 oscillators capable for totally independent sound sources
90 sound resources – a huge sound palette, from real instruments to
abstract wavetables
4 parameter editor pages – comfortable and detailed access to all the
parameters
3 Noise generators, for audio and modulations
Classic 24 dB Lowpass Filter, combined with an overdrive simulation.
Dual amplifier, for versatile control of 2 audio signals as well as panning.
13 Envelopes, for independent control of pitch, waveform, filter and noise
gain and panning
4 LFOs – with 5 waveforms
Delay/Reverb effect
Flexible Step Sequencer / Arpeggiator combination
Schematic touch keyboard – Build your own keyboard, with the keys you prefer for your music.
Powerful sound browser – sorting by category, bank management
Virtual and Hard-MIDI in/out – sending/receiving keys and controllers

About WaveMapping
Wavemapping uses visual cues to enable sound design. This may not sound too revolutionary, however it is a completely different way of programming sounds: you do not start with a lot of detailed setting, but with a combined set of parameters which you can select with the touch and swipe of a finger. And the combination of those parameters belonging to a Module make sense of course, it gives the user (being experienced or not) a very fast way for creating unique sounds.
New Analysis/synthesis system:
WaveMapper uses a new the synthesis system, which can be seen as a bridge between wavetables and samples. In wavetable systems you have great flexibility in controlling the sound, but sound material is limited to harmonic, noise-free waveforms. On the other hand there are samplers, which have very high sound quality, but very limited editing features. In WaveMapper there is a new type, which we call “time corrected sample” (TCS). This can reproduce a much wider palette of sounds then classic wavetables, but still allows for a total control of the access via an envelope or LFOs.

WaveMapper is a powerful new synth for professional iOS musicians and is the ideal partner app for those who already own the PPG WaveGenerator.

Rare SND SAM-16 Sequential Analogue Memory

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Here is your chance to own of the best analog sequencers. Not in production makes this a rare find.

The SAM-16 is a high-end analogue and MIDI-sequencer with special emphasis on tightness and intuitive handling. It has 16 steps, each with the following controls:

3-position toggle switch for trigger/mute/reset
12-position rotary encoder for semitones/chords
3-position toggle switch for transpositions
control for second parameter (i.e. filter)
control for third parameter (i.e. volume) or gate/step length
3-position toggle switch for audio/CV routing between 2 busses and individual input/output jacks
A fundamental problem of all sequencers using pots and electronic quantisation, is that a control may be (unknowingly) set close to a switching point of the quantizer, such that even a small (and inevitable) drift will cause sudden and unwanted changes in the sequence. The use of rotary encoders for setting the notes eliminates this problem, and - in conjunction with the transpose-switches - it also allows a much more intuitive and predictable control of the sequence.

The second row of knobs controls MIDI-velocity. In addition to the normal mode there are 6 special modes, in which the SAM-16 simultaneously or alternatively transmits on 2 MIDI-channels to allow velocity crossfades and switching.

The third row can be used for various functions. It controls either step or gate length, but can also generate another control voltage and/or MIDI-controller (#1-14). In addition it is possible to feed it 1 or 2 audio/CV signals, that appear at the rows output with a different attenuation/mix for each step.

With the lower row of toggle switches audio and/or CV-signals can be routed from or to 2 busses and 14 individual jacks. This can be used to create ´wave-sequences´ by routing various waveforms of a modular system´s oscillators (or other audio sources) to the filter, or to activate CV-modulations only for certain steps of a sequence. The row can also control the gate length, or generate MIDI-switch-controllers.

All rows have CV-outputs (0-5V, pitch 1V/octave), rows 1 and 2 also have a CV-input that is added to the values produced by the sequencer. These modulations also influence the MIDI-output data. The input attenuator for pitch modulation doubles as a global transpose control with a 2-octave range.

The build-in MIDI-interface synchronizes the SAM-16 to MIDI-clock or MIDI-notes (!) and translates all settings into MIDI-data. Thus it is possible to control classic analogue equipment as well as modern sound generators. Also sequences and their transformations over time can be recorded into a software sequencer for further editing, storage, and recall.

A special feature of the MIDI-section is the possibility to ´re-define´ the 12 positions of the pitch encoders, that is to assign any note or chord (up to 7 notes) to each position. The timing control of the SAM-16 also has some advanced options, such as the possibility to wait until the end of the current measure at any given step. This allows convenient synchronization even when changing the sequence length. An ´alternating´-mode allows the sequence to be split into 2 halves, and to switch between them by hand or automatically after 1 - 15 runs.

Only high-grade controls and components are used in the SAM-16. The internal MIDI-software has been carefully optimized for speed (latency < 0.1 ms) and reliability.

All CV-inputs/outputs through 1/4"-jacks on the front-panel, MIDI-In/Thru/Out on the back

19", 5 rack units, depth (behind frontpanel): 105mm + plugs, external power supply"

New Pittsburgh Modular Eurorack SEQUENCER Module

via Pittsburgh Modular

"(8 Step Assignable Voltage Sequencer)

The Sequencer module is a compact, simple 8 step analog sequencer. It uses an external clock to cycle through 4, 6, or 8 steps. The output of the sequencer can be used control the pitch of an oscillator, modulate a filter, or manipulate any module with a CV input.

Complex sequences can be created using a combination of the Reset, Hold, and Add inputs. The Reset input can be used to create odd or variable length loops while Hold pauses the movement of the sequencer. Voltage from the Add input is summed with the voltage created by the Sequencer transcribing the output.

The Sequencer module also makes a great sub-octave generator. Clocking the Sequencer at audio rates using the square wave of an Oscillator turns the Sequencer into a sub-octave waveform generator able to produce 1 or 2 octaves below the frequency of the clock.

"Origin is the most powerful synthesizer on the market.
As a matter of fact, it goes beyond the traditional definition of synthesizers. It is a hardware DSP system that houses several synthesizers in one machine. Some of these synths come from the past, such as the Minimoog, some are totally new and innovative.
Loaded with modules extracted from the best synthesizers of all time, Origin lets you combine these modules and take advantage of the additional possibilities put onboard. The result: a new type of sound accessible through an extremely intuitive interface.
Create your own synthesis patch by connecting independent modules. These modules are either innovative modules we introduced (such as Galaxy) or taken from the best synthesizers ever made (such as the Moog Modular, the Yamaha CS-80, the Roland Jupiter-8, the Minimoog, the ARP 2600, the Oberheim SEM, the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 and Prophet VS).
Alternatively, use an existing synthesizer recreation: the Minimoog, the Jupiter-8.
Superb audio quality with TAE® engine in a hardware chassis. 24 bits/44.1 kHz supported.
High-Quality Real time Effects: Dual Phaser, Chorus, Delay, Reverb, Distortion, Parametric EQ, Bit Crusher, Rotary Speaker, Compressor, Ring Modulator.
More than 500 presets created by a selection of international sound designers.
16/32 step advanced sequencer allowing you to program three sub-sequences at a time and to perform live.
Multi mode allowing you to play 4 instruments at a time, for example a Minimoog, a Jupiter-8, two modular patches.
Creative Macros, advanced LFO’s, innovative modulation sources, different Joystick modes.
Advanced Preset browser.
Analog Audio Connectivity: 2 audio ins, 10 audio outs,"

New Pittsburgh Modular Eurorack BENDER Module


via Pittsburgh Modular

"The Bender is a dual voltage controlled low frequency oscillator built around two triangle core, wide range, low frequency waveform generators. A low frequency cousin to the Generator, this multipurpose signal generator can provide the basis of a wide range of complex modulations ideal for amplitude, frequency and timbral modulation.

The Bender module is split into two separate voltage controlled LFOs. Each LFO is controlled by a separate rate konb, range switch, control voltage input attenuator, and variable waveshape knob.

The two LFOs of the Bender module are wired together internally for frequency cross modulation. The Variable Waveform output of each LFO is wired to the Rate CV input of the other. This controlled feedback loop creates everything from rhythmic patterns to wild, chaotic modulations. The internal connections can be broken by inserting a patch cable in the Rate CV Input jack.

MSRP: $139
Available: February"
