Analogue Solutions New Synthesizer Teaser: AMPLE

video upload by Analogue Solutions

Update: demo by Starsky Carr posted here.

Ample can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be: We have given this synth a large and diverse number of controls, that alongside the patch sockets, will give even the best and most experienced synthesist endless possibilities.

We have presented the controls in a user-friendly and familiar synth layout that, together with this manual and other resources, enables even the new guy to get great sounds.

SYNTH – PERCUSSION – AUDIO PROCESSOR

"Ample is a compact analogue synthesizer. Analogue - as in really analogue. Aside from the MIDI chip (which has to be digital), everything else is totally analogue using real transistors and op-amps. There are no CPU-stabilised and quantised circuits, no DCOs, no digital LFOs and no digital EGs, as found on other so-called analogue synths. The circuitry is based on designs dating back to the mid-1970s. So Ample has a genuine old sound. The Best of all Ample combines the best elements of several of our recent products. -The sound elements of Fusebox -Jack patch points of Concussor Eurorack -Patch pin matrix of Vostok -Echo from Dr Strangelove -Sequencer and CV touch pads of Generator It shares all this yet still has its own sound!

SYNTHBLOCKS: Analogue Solutions TREADSTONE Analogue Synth (teaser)

Published on Dec 11, 2017 rezfilter

You might remember the pics and initial details posted here. We now have a video and additional details including a mapping of the controls.

"Introducing the latest SynthBlock: Treadstone!

This small analogue powerhouse features a single analogue VCO, with square and saw waveforms, plus a noise and a sub oscillator, the SSM chip, an analogue echo and a very unique loop sequencer section, which offers uncompromised access to the synths internal architecture, letting you rewire it as you see fit and make some of your own tones and patches.

Treadstone is fully eurorack compatible, with 3.5mm minijacks and it operates on a 1 v/oct standard, meaning you can use it to interface with your modular system, or have it as a superb external voice for your system.

Treadstone is made in the UK and is built using very high quality components, as you'd expect with any AS synth.

Audio demos to follow!

-Full rugged steel/aluminium case – no plastic mouldings
-Good quality smooth, fully sealed against dust
-Good quality knobs with spun aluminium caps
-High grade double sided circuit board
-Analogue discrete VCO, analogue SSM style 24db filter
-High Quality 16bit DAC for MIDI-CV conversion Stable MIDI to CV
-MIDI converter
-MIDI loop sequencer
-LFO, Noise, Sub Osc, EG, PWM, lofi digital echo
-Analogue voice and modulation circuits
-Stable analogue oscillator
-Designed, built, tested and assembled in the UK
-True retro analogue voice and modulation circuits used in the synth element to give an authentic retro
-Real solid wood (not ply!)"

New Analogue Solutions Polygene Poly MIDI Converter Eurorack Module Teaser

Published on Nov 15, 2016 rezfilter

http://www.analoguesolutions.com

"Polygene is a eurorack polyphonic MIDI to CV converter – 4 voice output that can be used to play your CV synths / modules as a 4 voice polysynth.

Why Do I need this MODULE? What’s So Special?

Simple to use, it’s the perfect way to have MIDI control over 4 CV synths, to play together as one poly synth.

Connect to 4 mono synths, e.g. Analogue Solutions Nyborg
Or, connect to Eurorack modules set up as 4 synth voices.

The Arpeggiator has no nonsense operation harking back to the days of early Roland synths such as the Jupiter 8 and SH101.

The Arpeggiator can also be used as a simple 16 note step sequencer. The arpeggiator also plays back the velocity amount that was used.

The Arpeggiator will control CV synths, but the note info is also sent to the MIDI Out socket as MIDI notes, so you can have it play a MIDI synth."

"Analogue Solutions Leipzig-S Synthesizer with Sequencer for sale in excellent condition. Here's what it can do:"


Uploaded on May 1, 2011

"This beast of a synth represents the latest in Analogue Solutions' Leipzig line [2011] and incorporates a vast number of new features, most notably the 8-step on-board sequencer which can be synced and controlled in a vast number of innovative ways (midi, LFO, VCO, etc.)

This video serves as a first glimpse of the synth - yes, it's a teaser. The evolving sound uses the Leipzig's on-board step sequencer, however the pitch of the notes is controlled via MIDI. The sequencer can also be stepped manually via a MIDI keyboard.

Sequencer reset is handled via accent (or using heavy velocity on a MIDI note).

A beat was added to provide some context for the evolving bass line.

Details:

*Pure analogue voice and modulation circuitry.
*Fat Moog style filter.
*2 VCOs with Glide and Sub-VCOs.
*Osc Sync & Cross-Mod
*Plenty of modulation routing possibilities.
*Analogue step sequencer -- with plenty of clocking options.
*Audio input so can be used as a sound processor.
*Rugged steel/aluminium construction.
*MIDI In for software sequencer control.

Enjoy."

Quick note: as you know, I normally do not post music on MATRIXSYNTH for the sake of music.   All posts are ultimately about synth spotting and synth demos.  I do make the exception for manufacturers as they give you some insight into the music they make.  Tom Carpenter is the man behind Analogue Solutions and Medic. He along with Jason aka Rezfilter who brought us some great demo videos for Analogue Solutions is working on a new release under their moniker Sound of Science.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!!!  I hope 2012 treated you well and I wish you the best in 2013!

As I do each year, I thought I'd reflect a little on the past year.  These posts are always difficult to write, and I always wing them, so bear with me.  It's impossible to justify a whole year's worth of synth coverage in a single post.  The following is just a small bit of what comes to mind when looking back.  You'll find a top ten list of posts with the most page views followed by my picks for the year further below.  Apologies if I miss anything, and of course, if you have anything to add, feel free to leave a comment below.  I'm curious what you, the readers of the site, felt stood out in the world of synths this past year.

First, I want to begin this post with a HUGE THANK YOU!!!  If you are reading this it obviously means you have come to this site and some of you have been coming here for years! Thank you for sticking with me. This site is a journey I hope to continue for years to come. Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to showcase their synths, and thank you to those that share what they find! Thank you to those that link to the site and help spread the word on MATRIXSYNTH via Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and your own websites! And of course, THANK YOU to all the sponsors on the right who believe in the site enough to support it!

A nod to previous New Years posts, pictured to the left is the MATRIXSYNTH world domination map. :)  I always think it's worth taking a look at who's watching the site.  Synths are global and you are looking at a map of the readers of MATRIXSYNTH.  Everything you see in green represents a visit from that country.  The darker the green, the higher the number of visits.  This is just for the year, but for the life of the site, we still haven't gotten a single hit from North Korea!   I don't know what they have against synths!  ;)   You'll find the top 10 visits by country further below.

This is the eighth New Year the site has gone through!  The focus for the site this year has been the same as previous years, and I plan to keep it that way.  This site is about showcasing specific synths, not just synths in general, and not just news and press releases.  The focus is on the individual synths that have existed throughout history, the technology behind them, and the lives they lead with their odd owners, myself included.  :)  Yes it is about the gear, their makers, and their players.  It has always been my opinion that synths in general have a tendency to be undervalued. Compared to say collectible guitars, they are often discarded and devalued in favor of next year's model, next year's technology.  It has always been my opinion that every synth has something of value to offer,  something specific and something unique that gives it its character. I built this site to showcase that.  This site is about the history of synths as their history unfolds - videos and images of synths being played and used, by both those that make them and those that play them.  Vintage synths being offered in the second hand market, being exchanged from one sonic explorer to the next. It really is a wondrous thing. Think of the magic synthesizers bring into your world. That is what this site is ultimately about.  Some posts may not seem to make sense now, but they will in time, because they will be a look back in time. A day in the life of a particular synthesizer.  I love analog and I love digital. I love all synths and this site celebrates that.

And now for a little reflection on the year. This year we had a total of 16678 posts including this one.  That comes out to roughly 45.69 posts a day.  Not a single day of the year went without a post.  So what dominated the synth year?  Mobile, modulars and a few dedicated hardware synths.
