Pioneer DJ AS-1 - hands-on
Published on May 18, 2017 Future Music Magazine
"Simon Arblaster and Si Truss demo and discuss the latest edition to Pioneer DJ’s collaboration with Dave Smith Instruments, the Toraiz AS-1.
Following on from last year’s release of the Toraiz SP-16, we knew that there would be more to come from the fledgling music production range.
Fast forward to the NAMM 2017 show and the launch of the AS-1, a monosynth with a single voice from the DSI Prophet 6 lying within, encapsulated in a more ‘DJ-friendly’ chassis.
While we were very pleased with the sounds on offer, we weren’t too sure about the choice of controls and keypad deployed. So then, what better reason to take a closer look AS-1 to see what else lurks under the hood."

Electronic Dream Plant WASP
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Here’s an Electronic Dream Plant WASP monophonic analog synth. 2 VCOs, VCF, LFO, etc. etc. you know the specs.
It has been owned by Electrical Audio, for many years. Legend has it that this synth was sold to our studio owner Steve Albini by the band Broadcast when they were on tour many years ago. Steve may be misremembering, though.
This specific WASP has been modified significantly:
The body was reinforced with a metal plate, which you can see in the pictures. One of the corners is cracked.
The power jack was replaced with one that allows it to be powered by the more standard 9V Boss-type connector (center negative).
This one was recently worked on by our studio tech. He replaced the line out jack, which restored headphone and internal speaker function. Also worked on some of the switches, which are much more consistent now.
Missing a few knob covers.
The “tune” pot is missing its shaft and cover, as you can see in the pics.
The “keyboard sensitivity” pot is obscured by said metal plate, but can be adjusted with a small flathead screwdriver.
This is an old, well-loved WASP, and as such, it has some scratchy pots, temperamental switches, etc., so please set your expectations accordingly. Still, this is an absolute joy to play."

Ensoniq EPS16+ & ASR 10 ENV3 Envelope Velocity ADSR Curves Made Simple
Published on May 18, 2017 The Daydream Sound
"The Ensoniq EPS Classic, EPS 16+ and ASR10 have so much functionality. In this video we look at disabling the Soft Velocity Cure in order to get closer to a traditional Attack, Sustain, Decay, Release (ADSR) Envelope curve. We’ll also find a way to introduce amplitude velocity back into the mix.
Watch more EPS 16+ videos here: [embed below]
Here’s how you do it!
1. Select the instrument you want to use.
2. Press EDIT and ENV 3
3. Navigate with the arrow buttons until you get to “SOFT VEL CURVE”
4. Turn this feature to the OFF position. This will disable the SOFT VELOCIT CURVE.
5. Now you can use the HARD VEL CURVE to shape your sound.
6. We need to reintroduce the velocity option as a feature.
7. Press EDIT and AMP and scroll to the Volume Modulation section
8. Set the Volume to 99 and the modulator to VEL, VEL 1 or VEL 2 depending on your preference.
9. You now have dynamic control over your sound depending on how hard you hit the keys.
10. That’s it your done!"

Experiments With Eurorack Synthesizers & UVI Relayer
Published on May 18, 2017 SYNTH ANATOMY
"Here is a little experimental video with Eurorack Synthesizers and the UVI Relayer effect plugin. For the audio routing to the plugin, I used the great Audio Damage Odio Eurorack module. With this Eurorack module, you can route audio in your DAW or iPad and route it back to your Eurorack, always at the same level. This video is already older but I forget to release it :). Hope you get an idea what is possible when you combine the hardware with the software world."

"If you like my stuff, please support me on http://music.ollilab.com/
A couple of weeks into modular, and just recieved the braids and ripples from MI I wanted to take the modular on a bass jam :D Haha, it's bassy and noisy alright
This modular stuff is fun! :D even though a vanilla patch it sounds massive.. with some simple modulation using the slope in the 0-coast controlling the filter and also some logoi modulating the timbre in the braids. The Monologue and vBASS is supporting with some saturation/drive going on in the KORG monologue + cranking things up a bit into the TR8 external inputs.. just about on the limit.. vKEYS and vFM doing some melodies, the vFM is connected through the audio in on the Monologue so it gets a fair bit of saturation too.
Gear used, intellijel 7U with MI braids / ripples + 0-coast, volca bass, volca keys, volca fm and KORG monologue, beatstep pro, earthquaker devices transmisser + space spiral, keeley engineering caverns, TR-8, KP3+, microgranny 2.4

Moog Announces New Limited Edition SUB SEQUENT 37 CV for Moogfest 2017
A new white beauty from Moog. The SUB SEQUENT 37 CV adds four assignable CV outputs, two assignable Gate outputs, an upgraded keybed, a high-powered headphone amplifier for live-monitoring, and a modified analog signal path.
Full details via Moog Music:
Today we are excited to announce the SUB SEQUENT 37 CV. This limited-edition redesign of the ultra-powerful Sub 37 Tribute Edition analog synthesizer is limited to 2000 pieces worldwide, with the first 125 units built live on-site at Moogfest 2017. Anchored by a pair of solid aluminum side pieces inset with North American hardwood and affixed to a rugged steel and aluminum enclosure, it features four assignable CV outputs and two assignable Gate outputs for interconnectivity with large-format and Eurorack modular systems, an upgraded keybed for improved playability, a high-powered headphone amplifier for live-monitoring, and a modified analog signal path.
'We are really excited to incorporate community feedback into the evolution of an instrument. Adding CV interconnectivity was the starting point, but we have also increased the headroom in the mixer and significantly extended the range of Multidrive, giving the SUB SEQUENT 37 CV expanded sonic capability and modular control.' - Cyril Lance, Moog Chief Engineer
The SUB SEQUENT 37 CV’s mixer now has double the headroom of the Sub 37 Tribute Edition. Taking advantage of the mixer’s newfound flexibility, the gain-staging of the Ladder filter has been reshaped to boost harmonic saturation and analog compression. Completing the sonic evolution is a re-tuned Multidrive circuit that extends well beyond the grit and growl of the original Sub 37.SUB SEQUENT 37 CV production is limited to 2000 pieces worldwide. Each instrument is lovingly handcrafted by Moog employee-owners. The first 125 units are available for purchase exclusively through Guitar Center during Moogfest 2017, May 18-22, and on guitarcenter.com .
FEATURES
SOUND ENGINE EVOLUTION – Greater sonic dimension
MORE MULTIDRIVE – Wider range and dirtier than ever before
ROOM FOR TWO - More headroom means Duo mode sounds even better
6 ASSIGNABLE OUTPUTS – Modular connectivity with 4x CV outs and 2x Gate outs UPGRADED KEYBED – Lightweight with swift action, velocity, and aftertouch HIGH-POWER HEADPHONE AMP – Cue up your next sound in the loudest of venues. LIMITED EDITION -- 2000 units produced worldwide
SUB 37 DESIGN – All the controls and features found on the Sub 37 Tribute Edition:
- Perform in Mono or Duo modes
- 37-note velocity sensitive keyboard with aftertouch
- 2 modulation busses with assignable source and destinations

Jellysquasher
Analog coloring compressor module
100% analog signal path and sidechain feedforward compressor
Unique (log based RMS) detector
Output routed through a specially selected Edcor transformer with highly desirable saturation qualities.
Three carefully designed analog circuits to impose specific character on the output signal:
TUBE adds non-linear distortion providing second order harmonics
TAPE adds symmetrical distortion providing both even and odd harmonics
XFRM modifies the transformer feedback circuit, giving a boost to low bass content
All three color circuits can be engaged in any combination to react differently based on the input drive level and makeup gain
Sidechain routed through a voltage controllable SVF filter with LP, BP and HP modes. A trimmer on the PCB allows you to adjust Q. This filter can be used independently of the rest of the module.
External sidechain input allows triggering of the compressor with external sources.
Link IN/OUT allows two Jellysquashers to be chained together for stereo operation.
Full CV control of sidechain cutoff, threshold, ratio, attack time, release time, and makeup gain.
Wet/Dry control allows for “New York” style compression where there is a blend of the dry and compressed output signal.
LED bargraph with selectable display modes to view the signal level in VU or the gain reduction in dB.
Specifications:
Max input: +17dBv
Input impedance: 68k ohms
Output impedance: 100 ohms
Frequency response: 5Hz to 30KHz
Range of gain reduction: over 50dB
Threshold: -40dBv to +17dBv
Ratio: 1.3:1 to infinity
Attack: 200us to 200ms
Release: 50ms to 5sec
Makeup gain: 48dB

The sounds were carefully selected to work particularly well in ONE and to be highly usable for live and studio work.
In this video:
All the sound are coming from 4x ONE sample players with the exception of Maraca808 in the first piece. Sequenced with the Circadian Rhythms. No FX were used in this video.

Erica Synths - MIDI-Clock
Published on May 17, 2017 DivKidVideo
"Here's a new and super useful module from Erica Synths. Erica Synths are on fire at the minute and the new MIDI to clock or clock to MIDI "MIDI-Clock" is great. It's 6HP and takes clock in and spits MIDI out or takes MIDI clock in and spits analogue/modular clock out. Which ever way you work you get PPQ settings, a divided output and two multiplied outputs. All really quick with switches and a play/pause button too. Nice integration of MIDI clocked gear in both directions."

You don't see these often. The CMU-800 normally required software running on an Apple II via an interface card. You can now use it with a MIDI interface card from beatnic.jp. Click here for some previous posts featuring the CMU-800. There was also a CMU-810 expander.
