Korg Mono/Poly

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

via this auction

"A cool analog monophonic/polyphonic from Korg. It has 4 VCO's which can be shared in 4-voice Polyphonic mode, or linked in Unison for a versatile monophonic lead. Each VCO has its own level, tune, and waveform type control. Waveforms include triangle, sawtooth, variable pulse wave. It has a great VCF (filter) section as well as 2 envelope generators (one for the oscillators and one for the filter). There are also 2 individual LFO's which can be used to modulate the Pulse Width, envelope and Arpeggiator independently.

A very flexible and fun synth. Other cool tricks up its sleeve include chord memory and an effects mode in which oscillators have a variety of ways to be synced. The built-in Arpeggiator and sequencer can run all 4 VCO's at a time or cycle through each voice per note! There's also portamento, CV/Gate, VCF and VCO mod inputs, white noise generator, and the pitch/mod wheels can be assigned to control LFO, pitch or the filter. Its sound quality is nice and very Korg.

Synth is in good working condition, has a few dings/blemishes in the wood sides, but pretty much what you would expect from a vintage synth of this age, but nothing that affects playability.

Comes with copy of monopoly user manual and settings manual."

Use of the Gate in Theremin playing / E-pro Theremin & Volca Sample

Published on Apr 9, 2017 Therminal C

"Here's my demo-tuto video about the use of the Gate in Theremin playing.

A huge thanks to Alain Gilléron of Wavelicker for making the external Gate : such a great tool! I am loving making music with it! :-)


Music & video by Therminal C, ©2017.

http://www.therminalc.com
https://www.wavelicker.com

PS : I still do not understand why the Gate would trigger two steps on the sequencer. I have tried the Korg Volca Sample & the Pocket Operator. Both with the same result. I have the feeling this might have something to do with the sequencer's internal clock. But then, that does not explain why the Gate on the Etherwave Plus triggers sometimes 2 steps, and sometimes more, whereas with the external Gate i get 2 steps everytime. Fell free to comment if you have any explanation about this! :-)"

New System 80 JOVE - Open Source Roland Jupiter-6 Inspired Eurorack Filter Module

You might recall System 80s Roland TR-808 eurorack module. It appears they now have a new open source eurorack filter module based on the Roland Jupiter-6. Demos below.

Details via System 80:

"The Roland Jupiter-6 is a 1980s analogue polysynth with a great sounding multimode filter that is quite distinct from other Roland filters of the same era. Here it is recreated in a 14 HP Eurorack module with an added 2-pole 12 dB low pass mode, reminiscent of the Jupiter-8. Like most vintage Roland filters, it is based around a cascaded Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA), in this case using the LM13700 OTA in place of the obsolete IR3109 quad OTA.

Sound

Carefully compared to an original Jupiter-6, JOVE is a faithful interpretation of the Jupiter-6 multimode filter without using obsolete parts.

Features

4 modes: 24 dB low pass, 12 dB low pass, band pass and high pass
2 audio inputs, one log attenuated and one non-attenuated
2 frequency CV inputs, one unipolar input and one attenuverted input
1 resonance CV input, non-attenuated
Open Source

JOVE is open source hardware. The design files are available on Github"

BURG - blue sky beneath (elektron analog four, KORG monologue, ms-20, volca)

Published on Apr 9, 2017 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff, please support me on http://music.ollilab.com/

Hey, friends !! Oh man, I have been sick all weekend trying to make music but the flu/cold has won every day until now!! :D

I have been wanting to make an uptempo track for some time now since I have a gig upcoming and I need to polish the dancefloor vibes a bit. Now, I'm not saying this one would burn the floor but at least I'm getting closer to music that makes the feet stomp (mine did a little bit) :)

There is a lot of stuff going on in this track, the main bass-punch is from the volca bass and the tb-3.. adding some monologue drive on top from time to time. The arturia microbrute is getting some crunch from the solidgoldfx fuzz Imperial.. which makes the sequence drive and pop out.

The shining star on this track, however, is, without a doubt the Elektron analog four, where I have many sequences shuffling up the beat. Also, its currently controlling my 0-coast over CV.. so in total 5 separate patterns that are punched in/out.. lovely little piece of gear.

In total it's a whopping 13 minutes, I can't seem to make them shorter as I like doing the "intros" haha :D I hope you can make it through and enjoy it.. I had loads of fun making it in the end once I managed to beat the flu/cold!

Gear used: Elektron Analog Four, System-1, TB-3, TR-8, KORG volca bass, keys, fm, ms-20, monologue, novation circuit (sequencer only), 0-coast, microbrute, NLA1, microgranny, erebus, reface CP, beatstep pro

Fairlight CMI III MFX

Published on Apr 8, 2017 100 Things I Do

"Finally I have the massive Fairlight Keyboard to go along with the rest of my Fairlight system!

My CMI III was originally a factory development system, because of this there was no need for a musical keyboard at the time. This has ended up posing an interesting problem.

Just as Peter Wielk was finishing up my Keyboard and was about to send I noticed the keyboard power and serial connector has never been cabled or wired.

It has a mix of +/- 20v and +/-10v and from what Peter told me... get it wrong and it will blow a lot of fuses and potentially the analog power supply!

Lucky for me Peter had a spare power back panel he was able to send me in return for mine! Thanks Peter!

The arrival of the keyboard has created the need to reorganise the studio and change a few things around. I thought it would be easy, but as I write this I am still cleaning up and finding places for things! (Its taken over 2 days so far).

So this brings me to this video. I wanted to release something this week up keep up the 'video every weekend' pace. Its just some multitrack noodling once the Fairlight was set up. As next week is the 1 year anniversary of weekly content (and me actually paying attention to the channel) I promise to do something a little more special.

Hope you enjoy."

Dragon Drum Machine

Published on Apr 6, 2017 thIIIrd musique

This one is from the maker of Wiisp.

"Jam compilation with the Android app Dragon. Download free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...

Dragon is a drum machine built to quickly and easily make glitch, distorted, lofi drum beats and manipulate them live. The drums are simple and flexible, capable of some classic drum machine sounds and also new weirdness. Each is synthesized in real time and sent to a multi effect rig with variable speed stutter, bit reduction, pitched feedback delay and a resonant bandpass filter. The drums are triggered by a four pattern step sequencer. Patterns can be changed individually for each drum or triggered together for quick pattern switches for all drums.

Features:
Four pattern sequencer with local and global pattern control
BPM control with nudging
Save/load presets
Three drum synths:
-Bass
-Snare
-Hi-hat
Effects rig:
-Asymmetry and tanh(x) for tape like distortion
-Pitched feedback delay
-Retrigger (aka stutter/buffer) with variable speed and reversing
-Bit reduction
-Down-sample
-Reverb
-Resonant bandpass filter

Preset management requires permission for file storage read/write (optional on Android M+)

Unpaid version disables preset saving and audio recording

Audio recording coming soon. Possible future ports to desktop and ios. Made with Pure Data and libGDX"

Update: now on eBay as well.

"One of the rarest and most impressive keyboards ever built, a must have vintage synthesizer for the serious collector. It's in nice shape and working great. Only issue to mention is the pneumatic springs that hold the front up don't work, but you can use it fine the way it is, and should be easy enough to repair if desired. All knobs, sliders, buttons, disk drive and outputs are working as they should. There is some wear as to be expected for an old synth, so be sure to check out the pictures to make sure you like it."

"PPG Wave 2.2 synthesizer w/ road case, manual, and cassette (!!) backup tape. Circa 1982-1984. Ultra rare. Will need work to restore full functions.Unit powers up fine, but only produces some intermittent sounds when the keys are engaged. Had this unit restored to full functionality prior to 2009, though with the advent of the Great Depression lost the business and the warehouse studio and all the gear has been in storage since. Keyboard utilizes a weird pin and wire trigger system (similar to the old Vox Continentals), suspect that's where at least some the problems might be. Originally thought the output was compromised when I first fired it up from storage, but managed to get intermittent tones from the unit after checking it out again, so I don't believe that is the issue. Some of the keys stick when depressed, and of those that do some will return to position after a few moments, others need to be repositioned manually..."
