"We are so stoked to have Novation Peak in store today!
I thought it would be fun to flick through some presets and twiddle some knobs.
We love the distortion, and the filters really scream!
We barely scratched the surface with what this can do, this beast is deep!
The sequence and the drums come from NI Maschine Jam."

Novation circuit meets modular synth
Published on Jun 29, 2017 theonetrueaen
"Ever wonder about integrating a Circuit with a modular rig? ME TOO! I ran the midi out from the circuit (just the first synth voice) into the Critter and Guitari Melody Mill, and sent the resulting pitch CV out to the Pittsburgh Modular Double Helix, and Make Noise Telharmonic. I ran the gate signal to the Double Helix, 4MS PEG, and pittsburgh envelope. The envelope opens and closes a VCA for the telharmonic's audio. The circuit and modular are all mixed in the rack, and sent out to Propellerhead Reason for recording.
This is my first crack at this, so forgive me if it isn't as SUPER COOL as yours would be."

via this auction
"Serial # 1000-3675
Flight Case included. Near Mint.
This item has been in a smoke free studio since it's purchase in the 80's. Never gigged with. As you can tell from the photos, she is a beauty with very little wear (some minor dings and scratches) It sounds amazing and is fully functional minus a few hiccups:
1. As with all of these Prophet's, the bushings on the keyboard have worn out so the action is janky as is. BUT, I'm including a brand new set of bushings with lubrication. Unfortunately I don't have the time to make the change myself, but one can change the bushings easily and in less than two hours ... see youtube.
2. Two of the LEDS are out: OSC B SAW & Unison --- both buttons still function ... the leds are just burnt out.
3. In the Wheel-Mod section, the PW A button is stuck. Easily remedied by opening the synth up and unsticking it.
Other than than those minor problems the synth functions beautifully and sounds glorious. The synth looks and sounds flawless minus the minimal wear from being almost 40 years old. Make those small changes to the bushings and unsticking the button, and this synth is close to Mint."

Analog Experiments 7 (Tom Cat, Retroverb & TP-2)
Published on Jul 5, 2017 HardtekStudios
"The 'Analog Experiments' series have resumed, and there will be plenty more coming! For this installment, I break a common rule for running effects in series by running the Tom Cat thru the Vermona Retroverb reverb first, and then into the TP-2 for tube distortion and optical compression. This causes the reverb signal to combine with the drums for a super big sound. The Vermona Retoverb has a dedicated Attack/Decay envelope to control the reverb tail. I tweak the Decay knob a lot and the Wet/Dry mix knob for kewl reverb accents, along with other knobs."

Adventures in Synthesis: Generative Modular Synthesis (Pure Data + DIY Hardware Modular)
Published on Jul 5, 2017 Chris Beckstrom
"TL;DR?
This is a patch that plays itself. I make a few adjustments but for the most part this is bleepy bloopy self-playing modular synthesizer music.
Download my PD modular here (free and open source!):
https://github.com/chrisbeckstrom/pd_...
Download this specific patch:
https://github.com/chrisbeckstrom/pd_...
I've been building a modular synth inside the free and open source software Pure Data, and lately I've been experimenting with ways to integrate my physical modular with it. Using a combination of audio, MIDI, arduino, linux tricks, and some other stuff, I got them humming together nicely.
The PD gui lags wildly with everything going on - I'll have to figure out how to prevent that sort of issue. But it sure is fun to hear it in action!
This patch is so complicated I couldn't accurately describe each part of it. Basically there is a master clock (a software VCO) which is routed all over the place, including into my real life modular via an arduino. All the other rhythms divided from that pulse using dividers, random gates, probability modules, etc. Also I plugged a radio into the modular, which gets in the mix and ends up back in Pure Data before everything is mixed and recorded right to the video."

"The Moog looks excellent but the Contour Shaper, the articulator.. envelope shaper has been “broken” for a few years. At its prime the Moog’s tone oscillators where crystal clear, able to use saw-tooth waves, sine waves square waves and combine them in any way imaginable. Ring modulation, control generators, triggers, white noise, pink noise and pitch scalers could produce anything from a Bach invention to microtonal avant-garde radical compositions. As you can see from the pictures there are a few knobs missing...but the sliders are intact.
This Moog could be restored and back in shape for you to enjoy or sell.
The Moog Sonic 6 is a very interesting synthesizer and a rare find. It folds into a its own case and has its own built in speaker. I enjoyed using the Sonic VI for sound effects and for typical Moog type synth sounds and other sounds you expect from an analog synth. It has 2 oscillators, a ring modulator, sweet moog lowpass resonant filter, mixer section, TWO LFO's, adjustable scaling for microtones, VCA / envelope generator and external input for processing outside sources, gliss, pitchbender, 4 octave keyboard, etc. It's a really flexible synth and fun to play."

Searching for "synth name auction" is quicker than "synth name eBay", "synth name Reverb", etc. It also streamlines post creation for me which saves me time.

This is just a quick jam with the first 3 patterns I've made on it.. Couple of mistakes and what have you, but I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of the Digitakt and by the overall ease of use of this machine.
I already have a little experience with the Elektron workflow, but I think this machine is a great way to get into the drug that's called Elektron if you are not into it already ;)
Hope you like it and have a nice summer!"

RETRONYMS DEBUTS ON GOOGLE PLAY WITH PHASE84
Retronyms PHASE84 is now available on Google Play.
"San Francisco, CA USA (July 5th, 2017) – Retronyms has expanded mobile app ecosystem to now include Google Play with the launch of Phase84 for Android. Previously only available on iOS in The App Store and Samsung Galaxy Apps Store, Phase84 is the first Retronyms music app on Google Play.
Phase84, a next generation phase distortion synthesizer, fuses gritty digital sounds with traditional analog punch. The app features over 110 presets, containing all sorts of basses, leads, pads, bell tones, sweeps, atmospheric sounds, pseudo-realistic tones, and more. Phase84 offers a multitude of unique features, such as the groove gate, a 16 step rhythm matrix with tweakable envelope, patterns, and tempo while in perform mode. Experienced synth tweakers will be thrilled at the sheer variety of unique sounds that can be produced with this incredibly versatile synth, as well as musicians exploring Phase84 for the first time.
Phase84 takes the basic phase distortion technique and supercharges it, giving musicians endless amounts of creative options. Phase84 author Louis Gorenfeld expands on this, saying, “The sound of Phase Distortion exists somewhere in the space between traditional analog subtractive synths like the Minimoog and Yamaha’s chilly plucky FM tones.”
Phase84’s roots date back to the 80s, with the wave shaping synthesis in Casio’s CZ line of digital synthesizers. “Casio’s resulting CZ synth line found use on albums from a diverse list of artists from Moby to Jean-Michel Jarre to They Might Be Giants,” explains Gorenfeld. With Phase84, users can customize their waveforms much more than on the original Casio CZs.
The app in particular can create warm pads, glitchy sounds, dirty basses, filthy sweeps, screaming leads, and anything in-between. For those familiar with the typical Moog-like synthesis, think of the "shaper" as being synonymous with "brightness" or "filter cutoff”. An organic semi-randomized unison mode helps it produce killer pads. The oscillators can be FM’d together for even more complex and rough tones, or phased using pulse-width modulation.
FEATURES:
- More than 100 presets
- USB MIDI controller support
- Low-latency audio on both Samsung and non-Samsung devices
- Advanced Keyboard section
- Expressive Perform Mode with Groove Gate
- Precision Knob mode
- Preset saving in Standalone Mode
- Phat, naturalistic unison feature for super thick pads and sweeps
- Oscillator Section: 9 Params, 2 General-Purpose Oscillators, 1 Formant Oscillator
- Mix Section: 8 Params including Delay Amount and Pulse Width
- Envelope Section: Amplitude and Shaper Envelopes; fully visualized and interactive ADSR plus special Fade Param
- Delay/Filter Section: Stereo delay with loss modeling and a punchy overdriven analog-style filter"

Soundplant 45 Released - QWERTY Software Sampler Updated On Mac & Windows
Soundplant 45 sound design demo: Space Highway Ambiance

Soundplant 45 beat demo
Published on Jun 30, 2017 keymapper
"New York, NY - July 5, 2017 - Independent developer Marcel Blum has released Soundplant 45 for Windows and Mac, a major update adding playlist queuing, ASIO support, and other optimizations to the computer keyboard sound triggering program. Soundplant turns the standard QWERTY keyboard into a playable instrument with ultra low latency, allowing the instant playback of any format sound files on 72 keyboard keys with no need for extra hardware.
Version 45's new 'multi queue' feature adds flexible playlist support, allowing several unique capabilities including triggering dozens of sounds at once from a single key, playing multiple playlists simultaneously, and realtime chaining of queues via key press to build playlists on the fly. ASIO support on Windows brings even lower latency, higher sound quality, and expanded output device support.

Soundplant 45 beat demo
Published on Jun 30, 2017 keymapper
"New York, NY - July 5, 2017 - Independent developer Marcel Blum has released Soundplant 45 for Windows and Mac, a major update adding playlist queuing, ASIO support, and other optimizations to the computer keyboard sound triggering program. Soundplant turns the standard QWERTY keyboard into a playable instrument with ultra low latency, allowing the instant playback of any format sound files on 72 keyboard keys with no need for extra hardware.
Version 45's new 'multi queue' feature adds flexible playlist support, allowing several unique capabilities including triggering dozens of sounds at once from a single key, playing multiple playlists simultaneously, and realtime chaining of queues via key press to build playlists on the fly. ASIO support on Windows brings even lower latency, higher sound quality, and expanded output device support. Also new in v.45 are a global 'fade out all' function, recording quality improved to 32-bit, reduced CPU usage, faster sound loading, contextual help, and many other improvements and bug fixes.

Novation Circuit + Peak drone techno jam
Published on Jul 5, 2017 anode8
"Here's a quick little ditty I came up with at the Novation booth during Movement Detroit in May of 2017! I like the sound of the Peaks filters, and barely had a chance to scratch the surface of what it could do. This is just a little minimal techno groove, with a simple note on a loop to explore the synth a bit."

Brighton Modular Meet - Expert Sleepers General CV
Published on Jul 5, 2017 sonicstate
"The Expert Sleepers General CV module give you direct CV control of the General MIDI sound chip, and the results are quite promising already.
This is a module that we actually saw first at the Superbooth show this year, however as Os has now updated some of the hardware, we thought it would be a good time to get some updates.

Dusty Patches Microset | Octatrack & Modular Synth
Published on Jul 5, 2017 Dusty Patches
"Composed on Eurorack modular synth and sampled into the Octatrack.
I began by creating chord progressions by patching Pressure Points to Ornament & Crime Acid Curds. PP gives you a bunch of knobs and 4 presets for setting chord shapes, root notes, etc.O_C sends pitch data to four different voices - Waveforms, Clouds, Loquelic, and Braids. The voices are triggered in interesting rhythms by Pam's New Workout. With a patch like this you can easily create interesting chord progressions.
The results were sampled into the Octatrack, where all the percussion, arrangement, and some effects were done. The Octatrack is also sending MIDI sequence data to the QMI2, which relays it in turn to Loquelic Iteritas and Braids for live modular goodness.
All of this audio is then routed back into the modular for more effects processing. fxbox is patched to Pressure Points for different touch effects. Choices provides a joystick to control the timbre of Loquelic Iteritas. And the Octatrack has two handfuls of live performance tweaking fun. I'm switching between the delay control and quick mute pages on the Octatrack. The crossfader is fading between different scenes of effects programmed in the arranger."

Moog Source Analog Synthesizer (1981) *Twenty Sounds*
Published on Jul 5, 2017 RetroSound
"(c) 2017 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound
Moog Source Analog Synthesizer from the year 1981
The Source is a very nice synth and the first and only Moog to replaced the buttons with a membrane panel. And the first Z80 microprocessor-controlled Moog with patch memory.
The sound is fantastic, very deep and powerfull. I love the Sources incredible low end sound like the Moog Taurus 1. The best Taurus 1 emulation I have ever heard. In my ears better than the Taurus 3. The Source is perfect for very nice bass and lead sounds. For me one of the best monophonic analog synths ever."
