"This has had the faulty voltage regulator replaced with a new one that does not have the factory defect. The power supply has also been upgraded to a higher rated one as recommended. ALSO all the potentiometers have been replaced with higher quality metal shaft ones. These feel much nicer than the factory plastic shaft pots and are more accurate."

"Lightly used semi modular synth w/ hand made wooden desktop stand

Manufacturer description:
The Dwarf Star is a Semi-Modular Synthesizer with fully analog signal path.

The system features two triangle core VCOs, a 12dB analog filter, two linear-based envelope generators, twin VCAs (stereo output), 2 LFOs (1 VCLFO & 1 Skew LFO), Sample and Hold, a VC Noise Generator, a Mixer and a stereo "vintage sounding" delay!

The triangle core VCOs use a discrete transistor array for triangle generation. The Bergfotron Advanced VCO was the initial influence in the making of these VCOs.

You get a superior quad VCA based analog filter. This particular filter is mixable, meaning there are outputs for lowpass, band pass, high pass, notch, and all pass. You are able to select which capacitors (470pf and 120pf) are used.

The filter also features a diode limiter for controlling extreme settings. This is a unique feature you will not see on any other desktop synth., The mixer section and filter go hand in hand. The mixer section will saturate the filter if the level knobs are close to fully clockwise. So, you get an extreme and soft sound palette.

SSM Chip Production to Return as SSI Chips under Sound Semiconductor

We have some huge news in. Most of you might be experiencing a slight state of adrenalin induced shock right about now; I admit, much like myself when I read the press release that follows further below. If you have been following synths over the years, and are familiar with CEM vs. SSM chips like me, you know how big this is. For those of you not familiar with SSM, to say they made chips responsible for the sonic character of some of the most revered classic vintage synths out there, would be an understatement. SSM and CEM were the two top manufacturers for chips used in many of the classic vintage synthesizers you have come to love. CEM stood for Curtis Electromusic Specialties and is now Curtis Electromusic, run by the family of the late Doug Curtis. SSM stood for Solid State Music under Solid State Micro Technology for Music founded by Dan Parks. Dan Parks is back, under the helm of Sound Semiconductor, and they will be reproducing new chips. For a full list of what chips were used in various vintage synths, see this Wikipedia article, but I'll just mention a few that used SSM: the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 1 & 2 (which some say sound warmer than the CEM based Rev 3s), the Fairlight CMI II and IIx, the PPG Wave 2.2 and 2.3, the Octave Voyetra 8 and Cat SRM, the KORG Mono/Poly and Polysix, E-Mu's Drumulator, SP-12, SP-1200, Emulator 1 & II, and Emax, the Buchla 296 Programmable Spectral Processor, the Aeries System 300 modular, and more.

The following is the official press release from Sound Semiconductor:
[note the Dave Rossum mentioned below is, of course, Dave Rossum formally of e-Mu, and now of Rossum Electro-Music]

"NEW SEMICONDUCTOR VENTURE FOCUSES ON ELECTRONIC MUSIC AND AUDIO

First Product is Voltage Controlled Filter for Analog Synthesizers

April 20, 2017 - Sound Semiconductor today announced its formation and first product for analog synthesizers.

Headed by Dan Parks, CEO of 80's chipmaker SSM and former Audio Products Director at Analog Devices and National Semiconductor, Sound Semiconductor will focus on high performance IC's for electronic musical instruments and professional audio equipment. The development team includes previous SSM IC designers; all passionate about music and audio.

Sound's first product is the SSI2144 Four Pole Voltage Controlled Filter, an improved re-issue of the SSM2044 that many believe to be the best sounding synthesizer filter chip ever produced. Developed by original SSM2044 designer Dave Rossum - known for his many electronic music contributions - the SSI2144 utilizes modern process technology for high reliability and low cost. Improvements include lower noise and control feedthrough, better performance of the resonance control circuit, and pin connections optimized for PCB layout. Preservation of the SSM2044's coveted sonic characteristics - a key project requirement - were achieved.

The SSI2144 is now available in sample quantities to interested OEM's, with production quantities in stock by late Spring. The device is offered in a 16-lead Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP).

Pricing of the SSI2144 is $1.60 at 1000-pieces. Sound Semiconductor intends serve the hobby and enthusiast community through resellers for small volume sales and evaluation boards.

'It's exciting to see the renaissance of analog synthesis,' stated Dan Parks, President of Sound Semiconductor. 'When the idea hit to develop new ICs for this market, it was gratifying to have so much interest from my former colleagues to get involved in this effort.'

A second product is in layout design, with first samples expected by Summer. More information on that product will be forthcoming at a later time.

Sound Semiconductor is composed of musicians and technologists with the goal of developing affordable, high-performance integrated circuits for the electronic music and professional audio markets. For more information, please visit www.soundsemiconductor.com."

M-Audio "Venus" : a New Side to the M-Audio Venom Synthesizer

Published on Apr 20, 2017 Cloudwalk Music

"I am sharing these sounds and more for free, in a bank of 33 single presets for the M-Audio Venom. You can download the SQB file at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/87nu1o16x6...

I wanted to make this demo to show off the versatility of the M-Audio Venom. Most fans are familiar with it's edgy, gritty, dance and industrial sounds. These are great sounds themselves and really set the Venom apart as a unique sounding instrument, but I wanted to show that the Venom is capable of much more versatility, like beefy vintage synth sounds, colorful digital sounds, softer sides like pads, and even electric pianos.

I decided to share these presets since the M-Audio Venom has a very small sound library. Venom users deserve more sounds!"

Ninstrument Transitions to Million Machine March w/ Eurorack Converted MoogerFoogers

Ninstrument wrote in to let us know they are transitioning beyond chiptune oriented products and will be doing so under a new moniker as Million Machine March. In the same spirit as their Ninstrument conversions of classic gear into the eurorack format, their first products will be converting MoogerFooger's to the format. Via Million Machine March:

"I was really hoping that Moog would have been putting out more eurorack modules in this last year. Maybe this will inspire them! Here I am converting over their MoogerFooger guitar pedals to eurorack. Since Moog has picked a eurorack aesthetic, with the Mother 32 module, it was a ‘no brainer’ to make these follow suit. I am working on the rest of them so stay tuned for more!"

Novation Circuit Mono Station and Novation Peak jam

Published on Apr 20, 2017 -CALC-

"Here's a little Novation Peak, Circuit, Circuit Mono Station and 0-Coast jam. Of course my beloved LepLoop is in there too. To be honest I think this is a pure Power Combo.

Everything is clocked from Circuit's MIDI out
Drums are from Circuit,
Peak is triggered by Circuit's track one,
Circuit Mono Station is triggering the 0-Coast too.
Leppy is leppy and is one of the best friends you can have :o)

It's early days for Peak and Mono Station but I figured I'd share a little pre-SuperBooth preparation jam. Rest assured there will be more to come.

At last I can break the silence start to talk about these quite special musical instruments! They are quite special!

Hope you like it."

Novation Circuit Mono Station Test Drive

Published on Apr 20, 2017 -CALC-

"A short test drive of the all new Circuit Mono Station..... It's INCREDIBLE!
Two Oscillators ties to 2 mono sequencers independent pitch control in Paraphonic mode (they share the same filter and amp)
True Analogue (yes that's how I spell Analogue....) sound with 4 oscillator types, ring mod, noise and Sub Oscillator. Modulate-able PWM of course!
Heat up your tracks by processing external audio through the filter and distortions via audio input... turn up that heat by sequencing the filter, modulations and distortions.
CV/Gate and additional Aux CV (- modulation matrix and mod sequence destination) for sequencing and controlling your external CV gear
Full MIDI sequencing with MIDI in/out and THRU :o)

IT'S A BEAST!
