New Run of The Schmidt

You might remember, back in March of 2016 the final run of Schmidt synthesizers was announced. It looks like a new batch will be made of both the white (announced here) and black versions.

“Last year, we assumed that the second batch would also be the last. The Schmidt Eightvoice Analog Synthesizer’s sound engine electronics are mainly of ‘old school’ stock, with through-hole mounting technology, and pricing for those components have been rising steadily for years. Yet since the second batch of 25 units — ultimately, we ordered some extra components, so there were actually 27 — sold out within 14 months, those component prices are acceptable.”

“So, since the Schmidt Eightvoice Analog Synthesizer still enjoys serious support, we’re happy to announce that additional units of this wonderful instrument will be available in 2018. At the moment, we’re still finishing fulfilling orders for the second batch, but orders for the third batch can be placed as of now.”

Sidrax time!

Published on Sep 15, 2017 hajimmie

"I haven't played sidrax organ for some while. This instrument has many possibilities and I think it excels when with some companion. well, it's solo in this video, though. I'm exploring its sound to sample and later used with Plumbutter.

Shot on the phone with internal mic so the sound isn't great on the video but hopefully it'll translate the atmosphere I'm getting from Roland mobile cube amp."

Can’t wait to get one of these for my system…. absolutely incredible - and IMHO a great fit to the Buchla format!

Bjords of Canadia (Roland SH-01A)

Published on Sep 15, 2017 sprunging for voltage

"The newest studio acquisition - the new Roland Boutique SH-01A.

So far, it is proving to be a lovely and lively little beast. Whilst twiddling about with it, I came upon some Boards of Canada-ish tones and went with it. Also in play are the TR-8 and Drumbrute, the JU-06, and a Microbrute. The SH-01A is passing thru a Moog MF-102 (for some tremolo) and then into an Earthquaker Devices Transmisser (for subdued wacky crazy reverb). All audio heads stereo out of my Mackie board into Ableton."

New Quadrangle - Quad Cascading Triggered Envelope Generator demo - EURORACK - Synthrotek

Published on Sep 15, 2017 synthrotek

via Synthrotek

"The Quadrangle is quad cascading triggered envelope generator with bipolar output attenuversion. Each channel has voltage control over attack and decay/release, end of attack and end of cycle trigger outputs, and mode (AR, loop and AD). Each channel's EOC is normalled to the next gate input, resulting in interesting rhythmic opportunities. Channel 4 has a "stop" or "continuous looping" switch which allows either a "one shot" cascaded envelope or continuous cycling. The SUM output allows for longer and more dynamic bipolar envelopes perfect for interesting modulation. Users can also voltage control all of the attacks and decay/releases simultaneously when using the ALL A and ALL D/R input jacks. Massive function generation, modulation, rhythm and versatility sets the Quadrangle in a class of its own.

Features:
4 Cascading envelope generators
Attenuverters for each envelope output (dial in that secret sauce!)
Attack, Decay/Release and Loop modes per channel
Super fast ~2 mS (Audio Rate) envelopes
CV over Attack and Decay/Release per channel
CV over ALL Attack and ALL Decay/Release
Bipolar Voltage SUM output of all envelopes
End of Attack & End of Cycle trigger outputs per channel
Normalled EOC to next channel Gate input (broken when jack is patched)
One Shot or Continuous Looping of all channels"

DIY Benjolin Synthesizer - Test Drive

Published on Sep 15, 2017 Sysex|Studio
Update: video was re-uploaded.

"This is my first time trying out the standalone Benjolin synthesizer I built in a DIY workshop at Knobcon Number Six, September 2017. Outstanding sounds you can get from this thing with a little fiddling around.

Here I have two separate channels of step sequencing from the Korg SQ-1 controlling the pitch of each oscillator. Oscillator two's pulse output is clocking the SQ-1 well into audio rates.

Looking forward to interfacing this with my modular system later.

Thanks to Pete Hartman of Frogleg Synthesis for this implementation of the Benjolin and for spending all day doing this workshop."

TipTop Audio Z8000 Ping Patch

Published on Sep 15, 2017 xtal

"This is just a simple ping patch with some tricky modulations.
Livewire Vulcan and the Turing Machine+Pulses provide multiple clocks for the different rows of the TipTop Z8000 Matrix sequencer.
Serge VCFQ and Serge Wave Multipliers are the audio generator and processor.
The Z8000 controls the patch...
Horizontal Snake sequencer , fed into the QuantiZer , controls the frequency of the VCFQ , that is pinged by the Turing machine pulse.
Row 2 modulates the clock of the Vulcan
Row 3 controls the direction of the Vertical snake sequencer
Row A controls the amount of Fold of the Serge Multipliers.
Vertical snake Sequencer controls the VCFQ VC Q

The manual tweaking are limited to :
the VCFQ VC Q to achive a different decay time
the manual amount of Fold in the Wave Multipliers"

Polyfusion Modular System at Knobcon

via Paul Schilling‎

"I was at Knobcon on Saturday...it could have been an elaborate dream but there was a Polyfusion booth, with a beautiful Polyfusion modular, and a very nice man told me reassuringly that they were bringing all of the modules back. They were even working on a poly synth using the same circuitry. Did anyone else have the same dream?"

According to the people bringing back the Polyfusion:

"The machine at the show is new old stock. Although we look young, we are working with and have exclusive license with Polyfusion in NY. Please get all the facts before spreading misinformation!!! We worked very hard to have this opportunity.

Polyfusion will be manufacturing the modules so they will be coming straight from them."

YepYep -CALC- Novation Peak, Circuit and Mono Station, Digitakt, Leploop, TR 808 and SH101

Published on Sep 15, 2017 -CALC-

"All clocked from the TR808- sending sync to the CMS which is passing the clock further down.

Loving the chewy SH101 sound being triggered buy the TR808 to. it plays wonderfully with the rest of the gear too.

This track was born out of putting some new samples into Circuit for a work video (thanks to Lucky Catz for the samples too). Its such a complete set-up I'd be happy with this little lot ever more!
Also massive shout to the Leploop again, it truly is one of my favourite ever devices (needs the MIDI tuning calibrating though).

The middle build up is the Leploop with a wonderful pinging FM tone over the top from PEAK. I kinda went over the top with some reverb from the Big Skies but why not.

CMS is on audio processing duties only on this one with the Circuit and Digitakt passing through a filter sequence and some (sometimes more than some!) distortion. The audio pass through is some serious processing and really can breath life into anything that's a little static.

Finally got to road test my new Dynacord Echocord 100 straight outta Budapest (Thanks Imo!). Its a beast and whilst the tape delay is exactly what I was after, I didn't realise its a killer pre-amp too. The 808 through the drive of this sounds incredible.

I think this set-up is a keeper (although sadly the TR808 isn't..... aaahh One day..... )

Oh yeah I forgot to wear my watch!

Hope you enjoy it

ROLAND SYSTEM 100 MODEL 101 + TOM OBERHEIM SEM PRO ~ Will They Pair? Ep.31

Published on Sep 15, 2017 once upon a synth

"Pairing the Roland System 100 Model 101 with the Tom Oberheim SEM Pro. The Roland Model 101 is the keyboard synth part of the System 100 series which was a system of synths made by Roland in the 70s. The Tom Oberheim SEM Pro is a reissue of the classic Synthesizer Expander Module (SEM) which he made in the 70s to expand existing modular synths at the time.

Together these pair quite nicely because they both sound amazing and they're both semi-modular. This means that they both expose patch points so you can access different components like the oscillator and filter.

In this video I take advantage of the external audio input of the Model 101 to add a second oscillator via the SEM. This is easy because the SEM exposes both of its oscillators via the patch panel. So all you have to do is patch the keyboard CV from the model 101 into the CV control of one of the oscillators on the SEM. Then, you simply patch the output of the waveform you want into the external input on the Model 101.

I also go through different types of patching in the video like replacing the envelope generator of the 101 with the SEM's envelope."
