Curious what the SYN-1 module is based on.  I will post back if I hear back.

Update via Gregory Stephens:

"It has 4 voices, I am using an Arduino as a NCO with 4 independent saw outputs with gate/trigger for each. from there it is analog-..voices have SAW to PWM, EG and VCA. the VCF is shared by all voices . i am still learning. i 3D printed the face plates. Schematics mostly from http://electro-music.com"

"I'm highly impressed with the Rebel Technology mix series and having the Mix 02 and Mix 03 (pssst I'll be giving this away in the not too distant future watch my channel for updates) here has got me really curious about the Mix 01 (matrix mixer) and Mix 04 (16 VCAs in a matrix). It's high quality, clean, bleed free mixing in a great layout and I love the idea of an expandable mixer that you can grow with your system."

Make Noise Morphagene Reels (in Six Parts)

Published on Nov 27, 2017 Genshi Media Group

"::| BEST HEARD WITH A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES |::

I thought I'd show an example of the Reels I use in my Make Noise Morphagene module. Each one of the Six reels in this video I Composed and Sound Designed in Ableton Live using a variety of Instruments, VSTs, and Field Recordings. Normally, I would then load these up into my two Radio Music modules and feed those into the Morphagene, but this time, I loaded them directly onto the SD card of the Morphagene.

Though I use to work professionally as a Sound Designer (well technically, I still do... for myself!) I don't think I will sell these or give them away (unless I get a ton of requests) as they are very much tailored to my own "Cinematic Ambient Soundscape" style... I just wanted to show them here, in hopes that it will inspire others to explore deeper; to spend more time crafting what goes into your own Morphagene.

In the video, I play each reel through before I begin manipulating the various parameters (both manually, and with LFOs.) One note: none of these reels have Splice Markers. There is a lot you can still do without Splicing the reels, and I personally don't use the Splice feature all that often (just occasionally.)

Here is the timeline for each part:

REEL ONE - 0:08
REEL TWO - 2:19
REEL THREE - 5:53
REEL FOUR - 7:32
REEL FIVE - 9:51
REEL SIX - 12:26

Final note: there is a touch of Reverb from Mutable Instruments Clouds. #GenshiMorphageneReels"

New Moog Synth - Geert Bevin, Amos Gaynes - Designing and Implementing Embedded Synthesizer UIs

Geert Bevin, Amos Gaynes - Designing and Implementing Embedded Synthesizer UIs with JUC Published on Nov 22, 2017

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

A new product they can't go into is mentioned. Further below is a video by Geert Bevin featuring JUCE GUI on Linux running on a Raspberry Pi. Although Moog is known for their analog synths, they of course have already delved into digital synthesis via their acclaimed iOS apps and the Theremini. It will be interesting to see what they introduce at NAMM next year.

"Designing and implementing embedded synthesizer UIs with JUCE

Geert Bevin, Senior Software Engineer, Moog Music
Amos Gaynes, Product Design Engineer, Moog Music

JUCE has become an ideal platform to develop embedded UI applications. Moog engineering discusses C++ JUCE front-end application design on top of streamlined Linux distributions. This talk focuses on practical solutions with code examples, including: maintainable user-interface and user-experience design, code and application architecture, unit and functional testing, efficient message handling and dispatch, domain-specific interfaces, APIs promoting consistency and correctness, patch storage and retrieval, and application-specific scripting.

Presented at ADC 2017, Code Node, London."


Raspberry PI 3 super small and fast custom Linux distribution for Audio and MIDI Published on Aug 11, 2017 Geert Bevin

It is available as open source from here:

First steps were getting the smallest possible Linux distribution working with full LCD, mouse, keyboard, audio and MIDI support ... and running one full-blown JUCE GUI application. It boots up in just a couple of seconds with a customizable boot screen, pretty neat I think!"

"Quick tour of the functions of the new Integra Solum. IS is an 8HP dual rotating clock divider with 16 trigger outs in two sets of eight. Clock & reset the two sides independently or use a single input that normals to both sides. IS switches between three modes and an encoder adjusts the offset of each side. Bonus modes add randomization options.

"Quick tour of the new Manis Iteritas. MI is a 10HP voice based on the architecture of Basimilus Iteritas, but designed to be more gritty and aggressive. It accomplishes this by using only sawtooth waves that are manipulated, modulated, and distorted through a rethought interface. Manis is suitable for leads, bass lines, drums, darkness, detuned madness, or pure mayhem."

"Clocking the sequencers at different rates - via my Atari and Akai S2000 sampler. They are responding to woodblock samples... the 700's sequencer is steady - the Q960 is slower and varied here and there. At a few points I switched the modulation of the 701module to 'Ext' - and used the 702's excitation oscillator which is an interesting effect...!"

1972 PAIA 2720 Synthesizer Manual and PAIA Catalog #1072 with Prices

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

via this auction

"'Using the PAIA 2720 Synthesizer' manual from 1972. In very good condition. 27 pages. Check out the photos for all the instructions and details on Altitude, Amplitude, filters, wave patterns, etc. Also, a PAIA Electronics Catalog no.1072 (19 pages). This has the prices and descriptions of all kinds of electronic devices such as a Rotating Speaker Simulator, Drummer Boy, Thumpa Thumpa Box, Wah Wah and more. I believe this is the introduction year (1972), of the 2720 Synthesizer and so these are first time issues from PAIA. Both are about 6" x 9". The catalog has a crease down the middle, but otherwise is in real good condition. There is nothing to report on the manual as it is also in real good condition. They are marked as used, but don't look like they have ever been used. 45 years old and the only set we have."

Technics SX-WSA1 Acoustic Modeling Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"Only about 600 of these were made and are somewhat difficult to find. This is the Technics Wsa1 acoustic modeling synthesizer! A very unique workstation from the 90s that was light-years ahead of its time. This was very similar to the mythical Yamaha VP1 which is basically a unicorn of a synthesizer since there were only 3 sold.

Sounds:
The wsa1 was an acoustic modeling synthesizer that emulates acoustic nuances and features resonators and drivers to drastically change different sounds. The keyboard really shines with pads and orchestral sounds.
The soundcloud link below demonstrates some sounds from it. All sounds came from this keyboard plus some reverb and chorus.

Features:
I can't fully describe what this thing can do but it features a built in sequencer that can be manipulated in real time. With 64 note polyphony almost anything is possible. Has multiple editing parameters.

The wsa was released in 1995 with a hefty price tag of $5,000! But now they go for less but are pretty uncommon since they are fairly unknown.

Condition:
Every button and knob is working as a new one."
