Geek Chic // Sonic Experiments from the Voltage Lab2
video upload by Starsky Carr
"Dusting the cobwebs from my vintage 1950's lab coat - it was all the rage once honest.
Going into lab rat research mode and seeing where the maze takes me..
... and here's the results.
Just a little taster while I open the lab book to record apparatus, method, results, discussion and conclusion.
0:00 Bunsen Burner Big Beats
2:15 Plucking Pipettes (no pipettes were harmed)
3:06 Test Tube Techno (it's not techno)
5:59 She's Alive

10:00 Medical Skeleton (its the Bare Bones)"
Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2 - Just Jammin'
video upload by
"Fascinating new modular system from Pittsburgh with a decidedly West Coast bent. Too soon for a review, but here's half an hour of playing with the rather remarkable sequencer, the timbre of the oscillators and other bits and pieces. I added some reverb via the Chroma Console but otherwise it's all the VL2."
The Sweet Spot: Voltage Lab 2 Semi-Modular Synthesizer
video upload by HAINBACH
"As anyone who has ever tried to assemble a modular synthesizer, it is not easy to create a cohesive instrument, especially if you try to narrow it down to a portable case. In comes The Voltage Lab 2 that Pittsburgh Modular send me to play with (thanks for that!) - it is a semi-modular self contained synthesizer, and to me it hits the sweet spot between functionality and musicality."
Also see The Lab Report Episodes for audio demos.
Press release follows:
May 14th, 2024 - Pittsburgh, PA Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers today announced Voltage Lab 2, a standalone dual oscillator analog synthesizer synthesis laboratory with a unique integrated touch-sensitive performance controller.

Project MARS vs Apparatus Tube VCF
Eternal Engine EMI
"MARS Wavetable oscillators engine output to NOS DAC TDA1543 and directly to tube filter input. It use vactrols to control presets.
MARS is a synthesizer engine with 4 wavetable oscillators (FM, offset, and phase restart) that are controlled independently, much like it was implemented in Korg Mono/Poly. Also available a modulation matrix all to all, two multi-function LFOs, and two HoldADSR envelopes."
MARS appears to be new. See Eternal Engine EMI label below for additional posts featuring them.
Side note: Anyone remember the CME controllers? I haven't seen on in ages.

"The first Russian duophonic synthesizer based on vacuum and gas-filled radio tubes. Apparatus is the first Russian duophonic synthesizer. The audio path of the instrument, completely created on the basis of vacuum and gas-filled radio tubes using circuitry solutions in the spirit of the first half of the 20th century, is controlled by a modern powerful processor based on the ARM core, which ensures stability of characteristics and instant response to the artist's manipulations. All synthesizers are hand-assembled and produced in a limited edition.
Specification:
kenoton rectifier power supply
audio path based entirely on radio tubes
two independent thyratron oscillators with quartz frequency stabilization, which ensures frequency accuracy throughout the entire operating range
voltage-controlled second order vactrol filter with the possibility of self-oscillation and overdrive
voltage-controlled amplifier, based on the traditional schematic of tube opto compressors
triode asymmetric overdrive
analogue VU meter
filter cutoff frequency control by analog pedal
CV inputs to control the filter cutoff frequency and amplifier amplitude
External Input for signal processing from external audio devices
velocity-sensitive ADSR envelope generator with two trigger modes
MIDI Clock synchronizable low-frequency oscillator with retrigger option and smooth waveform morphing: saw-triangle-reverse saw in triangle mode or pulse width modulation in square wave mode, sample & hold
auto and continuous modes of portamento / legato
monophonic and duophonic mode
responds to MIDI controls Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, Velocity
MIDI channel switching with the Learn button
galvanic isolated USB port
powerful headphone amplifier, compatible with low impedance load
FAQ
Tubes are removed during transportation
The kit includes a set of spare tubes (one tube of each type)
You can order the new tubes from us
MIDI over USB protocol implementation does not require an external driver for Windows or Mac OS"
