Roland System-100 Moogerfooger

Published on May 13, 2017 djthomaswhite

"DIY Roland System-100 filter (Curetronic pcb) version of a Moogerfooger with Oakley Sound LFO (shapeable Triangle and Pulse), relay bypass and plenty of ins and outs. This resonant filter is total vanilla tone compared to the Moog ladder design, but sometimes you just want that smoothness. It has a switchable high pass filter with 4 settings. The LFO can be switched out and replaced with an external signal. The LFO out can be routed to other Foogers or modular gear. There is a Low-High switch controlling rate on the LFO and you can change the shape of the LFO (ramp to trip to saw) or the width of the pulse by turning a knob. LFO waveshape is controlled by a switch. This was a fun one to build and took some time to get right. On to a better video and custom panel legending design."

Intellijel Dixie II+: Hard Sync & Flip (LMS: Eurorack Expansion Preview)

Published on May 13, 2017 Learning Modular

"In this movie I demonstrate creating a hard sync patch where the master is the single VCO that may be in a small core system or a semi-modular synth like the Moog Mother-32, and use it to drive a second oscillator such as the Dixie II+. For those who wonder exactly what’s going on when you use sync, I focus heavily on what’s happening with the waveform output. I also look at the Dixie II+’s unique Flip function, where the waveform reverses rather than resets when it received a sync pulse from its master, resulting in a new waveform with twice the overall cycle length of the master. For more information, see http://learningmodular.com/intellijel....

"A tune based on Funky Drummer (James Brown), maybe the most sampled break in hip hop and breakbeat (etc.). Just having a bit of fun with it on an MPC 1000 (while it lasts . . . about to be replaced by the MPC Live YEHAAH). The dogs kept coming in to the studio so I thought, well they'd better be in the clip.

CASIO CZ-101 synth with 4-bank cartridge and soft case

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

via this auction

"I am the original owner of this small but powerful synth. It has been well cared for and works great. Comes with a very rare MAARTISTS MRA-3 64 voice RAM memory cartridge (four banks of 16) so you are not stuck with just the 16 internal storge slots for your own sounds.

This great little synths uses PD (phase distortion) synthesis which is having a revival in many iPad synths. It uses multiple 8-stage envelopes, which, if you know about synths, is a pretty big deal. It also has a versatile LFO, a noise generator and a built in ring modulator. This little synth is easy to program and with a little time learning the ropes, you’ll be able to create some really outstanding and unique sounds.

The four octave keyboard has eight note polyphony and the synth engine is four-part multitimbral (four different sounds at once when used with a sequencer or external controller). It does not have velocity or aftertouch. But don’t let that stop you! This portable (battery powered!) synth is a monster. There are even pegs on the ends to attach a guitar strap so you can dance around while you play!"

"This is a Roland RS-09 Organ/Strings Rev 3 keyboard in good condition. Manufactured circa 1980.

It has recently been serviced with a brand new US voltage transformer professionally installed. All functions work well including the external input to the chorus (a super cool feature of this instrument). Graphics are clear and bright. The top metal panel has a slight warping on the right side near the tuning pot and Ensemble switch. The metal panel is thin there, and I think it's just bent down a bit over time. See the last two photos to get the best sense of this.

The original case is included which shows a bit of wear but is still quite functional for local transport and storage of the unit."

USING TIPTOP AUDIO ONE TO SPICE UP YOUR DRUMS ~ Feat. Korg SQ-1 + Volca Beats

Published on May 12, 2017 once upon a synth

"Exploring various percussion applications with the TipTop Audio One eurorack sample player module. We explore ways to add variation to your drum sounds by utilizing the CV control over the sample being played. So if you load the module with a bunch of hi-hat sounds you can get some interesting rhythms by randomly selecting different variations of hi-hats. We also explore loading other kinds of percussion sets. The idea is to load the module with either variations of the same sound or a complete drum kit and then using various CV signals to cycle through these sounds to spice up your drums."

New Oakley 5U Flanger and Chorus Module

via Oakley Sound where you'll find full details. The following overview captured for the archives.

"The Oakley Flanger & Chorus module is an analogue delay line capable of delaying audio signals from 0.5mS to 15mS. In conjunction with an external LFO module this unit can be used to produce real time vibrato, chorus and flanging effects. With the feedback control set to maximum the module can be set to self-oscillate
The delayed audio output is available from the DLY OUT socket. While the MIX OUT socket has a equal mix of input signal and delayed signal. The phase of the delayed signal that is mixed may be selected to be inverted (NEG) or non-inverted (POS) by the use of the MIX switch. This is particularly useful when used for chorus or flanging as the two modes can create completely different effects.

A feedback path from the delayed output back to the input is available and you have control over both the amount, via the FEEDBACK pot, and phase of the signal, via the FBK switch. Inserting a jack plug into the FBK IN socket will break the internal feedback path and allow another signal to be sent into the delay line. This could allow additional processing of the raw delayed signal, from the DLY OUT socket, prior to being sent back into the delay line again. For example, using a VCA to process the feedback signal would allow CV control of the feedback level.
There are two control voltage (CV) inputs. CV1 has a fixed sensitivity while CV2 has its own sensitivity control. CV2's control pot is a reversible attenuator, so you are able to adjust not only the depth of the modulation but also the polarity. Although not specifically designed to track to 1V/octave, using the CV1 input, the module can be used as tuned delay line over a useful proportion of the full operating range.

The delay line itself is based around two 3207 bucket brigade delay (BBD) devices controlled by a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) running from around 33kHz to over 1MHz. Audio bandwidth of the delayed signal extends to 14kHz and several unusual design features ensure that the module is relatively quiet compared to other units of its type.

Two LEDs provide visual indication of the signal level being sent to the BBD devices. The DRIVE control should be adjusted to ensure that the green LED remains lit for optimum signal level. The red LED will light when the signal level is close to, or is, being overdriven. The module will not be harmed when the signal is overdriven and there is a soft clipping circuit in place to ensure the overdriven sound is musically useful. The DRIVE control allows a variety of different signal levels to be used with the module although the expected signal level would be expected to be between 0.5V(peak) and 8V(peak).

The printed circuit board (PCB) uses a mixture of through hole and surface mount components. The op-amps, non-polar capacitors, resistors and small diodes are all surface mount. The op-amps are SO8 packages, capacitors and resistors 0805 and diodes SOD323. Most builders should find these no problem to solder even if they have not assembled modules with surface mount devices before. To calibrate the unit an oscilloscope is useful but not essential.

The module accommodates either our standard Oakley/MOTM power header or a Synthesizers.com power header. The supply voltage is +/-15V and current consumption is around +75mA and -45mA.

The PCB is 109mm (deep) x 124mm (height). The PCB is a four layer design, has tough solder mask both sides, and has bold component legending for ease of construction."

Price: 110€ (ex. VAT)

Check demo video by Carl Mikael's Cabinet of Curiosities here: [above]

Erica Black Polivoks VCF is one of the most authentic sounding emulations of the famous Russian synth, the Formanta Radio Factory Polivoks filter.
The original Russian ICs K140UD12 are used in the sound circuit. We did several updates to adapt the VCF for contemporary modular synth demands. Independently buffered inputs, extended Cutoff knob, eliminated clicks, when switching filter modes, and output stage added to eliminate signal inversion. The result is a much punchier bass sound and very smooth controls.
