Schtang - Kitsch (Live Volca Sample Demo Jam)
Published on Apr 4, 2017 Schtang
"For high quality downloads of my hardware jams, head to my bandcamp: https://schtang.bandcamp.com/
Jumped out of the studio and into the kitchen for a cheeky jam! Complete with fake bananas, toy dinosaurs and loaves of bread.
Keen to try my hand at busting out some tracks in different locations, especially as we move into the warmer months! This was a bit of fun and I was very chuffed to sneak my girlfriend into the show too.
You can check out her lovely analogue photography over on her Instagram page:

As always, thanks for your support!
Please subscribe for more Volca Sample tracks, tutorials and demonstrations :)
All sounds used are from the Factory Default sample bank that ships with the box."
New Waldorf Quantum - 8 Voice Hybrid Poly Synth
MESSE 2017: Waldorf Quantum - 8 Voice Hybrid Poly Synth
Published on Apr 4, 2017 sonicstate
Update: a couple of renders in via Soviet Space Child.
Hybrid Digital/Analog 8 voice polysynth
Some specs from the video:
3 Oscilators featuring:
Wavetable - waldorf wavetables
Waveform - traditional analog waveforms
Partical - granular sampler
Resonator - resonator filter bank
Nave synthesizer with speech and spectrum functionality built in - waveform & spectrum will display on the screen like in the app.
All three oscillators are freely assignable. On the original Waldorf uWave & XT, you had two oscillators that shared an assignable wavetable. On the Waldorf Q and Blofeld you had three oscillators, two freely assignable wavetable oscillators (the Q had two sub oscillators for each), and a third oscillator with more standard waveshapes.
Two dual analog filters. Voice inserts, inserting into the digital voice, going out to the analog, and two OTA filters for each voice that goes back into the voice.
Another digital former - drive, bit crusher, digital filters, etc...
Six envelopes - three on the panel. Envelope curves.

Hyve Synth Tutorial - 60 poly analog portable synth
Published on Apr 4, 2017 cuckoomusic
"This is the Hyve Touch Synthesiser, designed by Skot Wiedmann. It's currently campaigning on Kickstarter here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
The Hyve Touch Synth is very unique, with it's portable form factor, lovely design, and 60 polyphonic analog architecture. It runs on a 9v battery, or with a power adapter. The sound is an analog square-ish signal. But with a tad of filter on the expressive touch controls, and the hexagon chord friendly layout it makes it highly playable. More so than what you would expect.
Here's a tutorial on the preassembled Hyve. How to play it. What it sounds like. And a number of "jams" or improvised sessions, in combination with mostly a reverb and delay."

Retro Mechanical Labs Hyde Distortion Filter Eurorack Version
Published on Apr 4, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio
"Some drones, distortions and squeaks from the Retro Mechanical Labs Hyde Distortion Filter. The Hyde has the Make Noise 0-Coast as its input and is also under CV control from the 0-Coast as well as its internal LFO.
The Hyde Distortion Filter, from Retro Mechanical Labs, has now been equipped with 3.5mm jacks for ease of use with Eurorack modular synthesizers. It is a standalone desktop unit meant to be patched to all sorts of other gear using 3.5mm jacks. This euro version incorporates five difference CV inputs to control almost any knob in the filter. Each CV input has a corresponding LED for visual feedback of the signal patched in. The Hyde Distortion filter is perfect for creating dark textures and soundscapes. Tune the resonant feedback to match your harmonic droning or wall of noise. Use two boxes to create deep stereo textures.

Retro Mechanical Labs Electron Fuzz Eurorack Version Distorting Drums
Published on Apr 4, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio
"Running eurorack drums through the Retro Mechanical Labs Electron Fuzz with eurorack compatible 3.5mm CV input jacks. The Electron Fuzz is especially good at generating screams above your drums with the feedback oscillation. This patch uses envelopes from the Galilean Moons and then an LFO from Peaks to modulate different setting on the Electron pedal. The drums pattern is created by the Noise Engineering Numeric Repetitor, and the sounds are from the Leploop Cassa, Audio Damage Boomtschak, and SSF Quantum Rainbow through the Hexinverter Galilean Moons.
The ever popular Electron Fuzz Custom has now been adapted with 3.5mm CV inputs for use with Eurorack synthesizers. The size has been slightly scaled down, to work more efficiently on a desktop. It provides CV control over the Hurt, Pain, Feedback Osc, and Distortion out. This beefy distortion can now have even more versatility with its interfacing with modulation signals and Eurorack sound sources."

Announcing Cocteau, a Mod PCB for the YOCTO 808 Clone
Published on Apr 3, 2017 effegee7
Update: you can sign up for the kit here. You can reach Autonomik Circuits at autonomikcircuits@gmail.com.
Taking the 808 to a whole new level in tweakability. Full details further below. First the playlist for the videos above:
1. Cocteau demo (groove + mods)
"Cocteau (by Autonomik Circuits)-- overlay mod PCB for YOCTO v1.0 analog drum machine
Cocteau PCB fits over the top of the YOCto main PCB, adding 34 pots and 24 switches to the front panel to modify the original 808 sounds, plus it adds a second RS-CL and MA circuit hardwired to the YOCTO's Trig-1 and Trig-2.
This video demos the following:
- CH Decay (short)
- BD Tune (low)
- CP Filter is turned high and clap density increased to mostly eliminate the Clap sound, leaving just the Reverb
- CB Long Decay, OSC's tuned
- LT Reverb Off & On
- CL-2 2nd switch (the RS-CL DPDT switch split into two SPDT's) activated to create a CR-78-type RS sound
Front panel is laser-cut resin prototype of enclosure to be made by Kacper Pawluk"
2. Cocteau- RS-CL 2 + CP mods
"This video demos the additional RS-CL 2 voice on the Cocteau PCB, as well as some of the CP mods
The DPDT slide switch between the RS and CL sounds of the Cocteau's RS-CL 2 circuit has been split into individual SPDT switches to allow for variation of the CL sound as follows:
Both switches down = RS sound
Both switches up = CL sound
Left up, right down = CL sound altered s\to sound more like striking a glass bottle, not a wood block
Left down, right up = CL sound reminiscent of the CR-78 RS sound(?)"
3. RS-CL 2 & MA-2
"This video demos the additional RS-CL 2 and MA-2 voices on the Cocteau PCB, allowing for simultaneous sequencing of RS & CL and CP & MA sounds.
The DPDT slide switch between the RS and CL sounds of the Cocteau's RS-CL 2 circuit has been split into individual SPDT switches to allow for variation of the CL sound as follows:
Both switches down = RS sound
Both switches up = CL sound
Left up, right down = CL sound altered s\to sound more like striking a glass bottle, not a wood block
Left down, right up = CL sound reminiscent of the CR-78 RS sound(?)"
4. Cocteau Roll Call
SoundCloud demos:
Full details via effegee:


Installation requires desoldering of some components (mostly resistors) and cutting of a few traces.
Cocteau is designed to allow the user to modify the existing circuits while allowing easy, realtime return to the original 808 sound. For example, the BD Tune pot functions only when the adjacent switch is activated; when deactivated, BD Tune returns to the original value.
Cocteau is also designed to fit within the existing panel clearance using low-profile pots, switches and connectors. A metal enclosure for the YOCTO + Cocteau will be available from Kacper Pawluk, who has already designed the front panel. A laser-cut resin panel, fabricated from his design, has been tested and fits perfectly.
Finally, there will be an expansion port on the back panel of the enclosure, connected to Trig-3 of the YOCTO sequencer, for installation of swappable drum modules available for future purchase.

30 Instruments and Innovations of Roland's Ikutaro Kakehashi on emusician.com
emusician.com has a post up here featuring the top 30 instruments and innovations of Ikutaro Kakehashi.
"With the passing of Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi, the synthesizer world lost one of its greatest visionaries.
In celebration of Kakehashi and his lifetime of defining, and redefining, the term 'musical instrument,' we have assembled a list of his most influential products and technologies—items that have had the greatest impact on popular music over the last 50 years— from his early days as the leader of Ace Tone to his legacy as the founder of Roland.
1. Ace Tone Canary S-2 (1962) [pictured] One of Ace Tone’s earliest successes was the Canary S-2 Clavioline. Based on the original Clavioline designed by Constant Martin in 1947, its tube-based architecture was later replaced by transistors in the S-3 model (pictured above). An example of the Clavioline sound can be found in the solo from Del Shannon’s “Runaway” (which for hair-splitters was actually a heavily modified early-model Clavioline unit redubbed the Musitron)."

IKUTARO KAKEHASHI (The legend maker) - Tribute from A Guy Called Gerald

"Tribute to the late great Ikutaro Kakehashi"
A fitting tribute from someone at the birth of the resurrection of early Roland analog. I added this to the main post here.
For anyone not familiar with A Guy Called Gerald, via Wikipedia:
"Gerald Simpson (born 16 February 1967), better known as A Guy Called Gerald, is a British DJ, record producer and musician. He was an early member of 808 State, and later achieved success as a solo artist. He is best known for his early work in the Manchester acid house scene in the late 1980s[1] and the track 'Voodoo Ray'. His style developed during the early 1990s, and his 1995 album Black Secret Technology would become a "much-touted candidate for 'best jungle album ever.'"[2]"

Modular Field Trip Ep. 1 - Tidal Ambience with Mutable Instruments Rings, & Moog Mother 32
Published on Apr 3, 2017 ann annie
"Everything you are hearing and seeing was recorded in real time!
Took my station wagon Wilma (Wilma Wagon) out to the beach today for some nice ambient patching. This will be the start of a new series, each episode with a new natural wonder, each with a new patch and each episode featuring Wilma. Enjoy!
This Patch’s Secrets:
***Power was graciously received from Wilma Wagon’s battery and a power inverter. Audio was recorded with a Scarlett 2i2, and some DI boxes.
// Key Pings: Moog Mother 32
LFO Rate is randomly controlled by its own assignable output
Sequencer is randomly reset at random intervals also from its assignable output.
// Drone: Rings
Rings is receiving Mother 32’s KB output for the v/o
Intellijel Dixie II in LFO mode is controlling Ring’s Structure CV using the sine wave output
Ring’s is being strummed by Mother 32’s LFO Square Wave
Brightness is controlled by Mother 32’s VCO Pulse Wave
The triangle wave output from Dixie ii attenuated by Triatt is controlling the Position CV.
Mother 32’s triangle wave is attenuated then sent into Rings frequency CV for a very small amount of vibrato.
// Effects
The Mother 32’s output is being fed into a Boss ME-50 which supplies heavy amounts of reverb and delay. It is also run through the JHS Alpine and then into a second delay, the MXR Carbon Copy.
Rings output is being sent though into Ocean Verb set in Shimmer mode. The mix is 75% Wet output.
Faintly in the background is the natural audio captured by the camera’s mic. This is unaffected."
DSI PRO 2 CV INPUT TUTORIAL ~ Featuring the Korg SQ-1 sequencer
Published on Apr 3, 2017 once upon a synth
"This is a tutorial demonstrating how to use the control voltage (CV) inputs on the back of the Dave Smith Instruments Pro 2 synthesizer. These inputs allow you to modulate Pro 2 parameters using external gear. In this case I'm using the Korg SQ-1 which is a small sequencer that can output CV signals. On the Pro 2 you simply pick the corresponding CV input in the modulation matrix as the source. You have 4 CV inputs available on the back and they use 1/8" jacks so it's nicely compatible with eurorack modulars for example."
Synthrotek VERB Now Available for Pre-Order
via Synthrotek
"This is a pre-order! All orders will ship this friday, April 7th!
The Synthrotek Verb is a reveb module like no other. This three PT2399 16 bit unit offers a warm tape saturated spring reverb like sound but with the added flair of the subtle modulation which truly makes it shine. The input gain knob adds the the functionality by dropping back the input amount to give cathedral like sounds when the mix is high. The modulation knob can be turned manually for pitch bends, but give it a slow LFO or envelope CV to emulate pitch bends that sound like a tape echo with a broken capstan. The mix knob is a very fast responding cross fader circuit which allows audio rate inputs for further FM like modulation. Add a subtle amount of reverb or crank the mix past 3 o’clock to knock the reverb signal into the rails.
Features:
CV in over MOD and MIX
Buffered Input and Output
CV In for the MIX is additive to the knob.
Very low signal DC offset at -0.073V
Trimmer to adjust input gain.

Future Sound of London DIGITANA SX-1 Flyer & "Ignition of the Sun" EMS SYNTHI A Release
You might recall FSOL is working with Digitana on the HALia, and the FSOL - DIGITANA SX-1. Here are a couple of flyers including some synth art via the FSOLdigital website. The image below is the cover for "Ignition of the Sun", a release featuring the original EMS SYNTHI A. Details on that release follow.

Coming from the home of Future Sound of London and credited to their ‘producer’ Yage, Ignition of the sun is a deep and evolving journey through liquid spewing analogue sequences, warm saturated swampy sine waves. It calls back to a time from the early 70s with bands such as Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze.
All sounds were created and sequenced entirely on the EMS Synthi AKS, multitracked and mixed to 15ips 1/4 Revox tape. The EMS Synthi AKS was first introduced in 1971, one of the earliest Synthesisers available and as used by Radiophonic Workshop, Pink Floyd, Brian Eno.
