Analogue Solutions Impulse Command Stereo Synthesizer Demo

Published on Apr 1, 2019 rezfilter

"Here's another (extended) demo of the Analogue Solutions Impulse Command synthesizer. This demo shows the extreme stereo capabilities of the synth, so headphones are required (naturally).

Yes, we're talking DUAL filters and the ability to modulate these across the stereo field in ferociously musical ways!

Impulse Command is a stereo analogue synth / sonic realiser. Perfect for melodic and percussion loops. Very easy (and fun!) to create modular style analogue loops. It’s a complete sound track all by itself!

It’s wrong to call it a synthesizer (in fact a new word needs to be invented) because then you get preconceived ideas about what it does. It’s a whole lot more than a synth. It’s also part drum synth, part pattern generator, part modular loop producer.

All its unique features plus the 2 independent LPFs give this machine the ability to produce stereo loops that sound like multiple synths playing at once."

Analogue Solutions Generator Step Sequencer Jam HQ Audio

Published on Feb 15, 2019 rezfilter

"SPEAKERS/HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED!

Here's another live jam with the Analogue Solutions Generator Step Sequencer!

This video features the Generator (!), Nyborg(s) 12/24, Treadstone eurorack synth voice, Telemark synthesizer, and ARP kicks!

Generator is also managing clock for an Oberkorn that is triggering the kick patterns w/ cymbal.

Generator is a very compact and high quality step sequencer. It’s USP is that it is a playable sequencer. You don’t just set up a sequence and leave it looping. The UI is designed in such a way as to make it easy, fun and intuitive to alter the rhythm and to get alternative sequences playing using the real time touch pads.

Generator has plenty of scope for re-patching the signals using CV leads, or via the pre-configured switches.

Generator is super easy to hook up to your analogue synthesisers, Eurorack, and other analogue gear.

Sync to DAW is very easy and solid, using MIDI note 60. Play that note and the sequencer will step.

No menus of multi-button pressed. WYSIWYG front panel control.

Enjoy!"

Analogue Solutions Generator Jamming Live

Published on Feb 14, 2019 rezfilter

"Here's a quick capture of the Analogue Solutions Generator in a live studio (modular) environment -- got some 2600 kicks, nyborg-12 snare, concussor drums and the AS Generator doing their thing(s).

I'm going to be adding more videos soon with better audio, so watch this space. Phone recording for now!

Generator is a great performance tool and is a lot of fun for creating new patterns, beats, and rhythms (on the fly) in your tracks."

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.

Analogue Solutions Fusebox: Live Patternator, Sequencer & Patching

Published on Oct 3, 2017 rezfilter

"Here's a little Patternator/Sequencer/Filter fun on the Analogue Solutions Fusebox synth!

In this video, I've entered a sequence (16 steps via the keyboard). Simultaneously, I've activated (patched in) the Patternator to run in tandem. You can get some very happy results!

3 minutes of tweaking, patching, toggling...

Enjoy!"

Analogue Solutions Fusebox + LED Patch Cables

Published on Sep 12, 2017 rezfilter

"Analogue Solutions Fusebox w/ some LED Patch cables @ night...

Check out the envelopes as they fire away! Slow LFOs w/ voltage changes fade from yellow to red. :)

This was just a demo clip of the cables and a little audio clip of the Fusebox doing its thing.

1 Analogue Solutions Fusebox synth + 1 set of Mushi.One LED cables = a lot of fun."

Analogue Solutions Fusebox: Synth-Pop Demo!

Published on Aug 29, 2017 rezfilter

"*Headphones or speakers HIGHLY recommended!*

Here's another Fusebox demo track, this time around showcasing a more synth-pop geared sound palette.

All sounds are entirely Fusebox (sans drums) and were programmed, played or sequenced, and then recorded into Logic. Some tracks feature reverb.

The Fusebox Patternator was used extensively in the making of this track and was applied to the main bassline, adding filter dynamics and interesting resonant delights.

The bass sound was created live, while oscillators (sub too) were activated incrementally to thicken the initial sound heard in the video."

Analogue Solutions Fusebox: Halo Bass Patch (by request)

Published on Aug 27, 2017 rezfilter

"Here's a quick vid (by request) demonstrating Fusebox reproducing the Depeche Mode Halo bass line. Drums (clearly) are not Fusebox!

This is a single, 3-oscillator bass patch and is achieved by precisely opening and closing the filter via MIDI velocity via Logic.

Pitch is controlled live via the Interval Generator.

Filter velocity can be controlled in a number of creative ways on Fusebox, and the video shows the Patternator adding some variation toward the latter half."

Analogue Solutions Fusebox Synth: All Fusebox Sounds (Track 2)

Published on Aug 21, 2017 rezfilter

"More Analogue Solutions Fusebox! http://analoguesolutions.com/fusebox/

Speakers recommended.

It's easy to be inspired with the Fusebox, so consequently, here is another session with the Analogue Solutions Fusebox, layering various sounds and patches from the synth into Logic, forming a mini track.

Only reverb was applied to some of the sounds to allow them to fit properly together. No distortion or similar effects were used in the creation of this track."

Analogue Solutions Fusebox: Dirty, Filthy Bass Tweaking

Published on Aug 19, 2017 rezfilter

"Wait for it!

OK, a little fun reverse engineering a familiar bass line -- or not! :)

All in good fun, some NIN Closer remixing going on in real-time with the Analogue Solutions Fusebox synth.

This is by no means an attempt at a spot-on reproduction of the Closer bass line, but more a live tweaking and patching session with the new Fusebox synth showing only an inch of its sonic potential.

Fusebox can be as dirty or as clean as you require!

What's going on?

1. Fusebox is having its filter modulated by MIDI key/note velocity (Logic)
2. Fusebox pitch is being controlled via MIDI notes (Logic)
3. Patternator is creating patterns in real-time (intro)
4. Bass sound tweaked live on Fusebox while sampled beat resides on 2nd Logic track
5. Sound is dry without processing, and entirely Fusebox."

A Night With the Analogue Solutions Fusebox Synthesizer

Published on Aug 16, 2017 rezfilter

"Here's a fun little, one-nighter track using all sounds from the new Analogue Solutions fusebox synthesizer!

All tracks were recorded from the AS fusebox and layered into Logic as they were dialed in. A touch of reverb was used on a couple of the sounds just to position them in the track.

Fusebox is shown here in its horizontal position, but can also stand vertically or be racked.

CAUTION: The Interval Generator AND the Patternator were used in the creation of this track!

Just a sampler of things to come...

Enjoy!"

SYNTHBLOCKS: Analogue Solutions MR. HYDE Audio Demo #1

rezfilter
Published on Aug 9, 2017

Demo with Sequential Circuits Pro-One.

"Here are a few preliminary audio examples of Mr Hyde -- the first in a new series of ‘synthBlocks’.

These are small table top effects processor, and later synthesisers and sequencers. Designed by renowned UK synth designers Analogue Solutions who have over 24 years in the industry.

Mr Hyde is an analogue filter effects box use for subtle to extreme filtering and modulation effects.

SynthBlocks are used to process any sound that you feed into it from your DAW, Mixer or some musical instrument (with prior pre-amplification where necessary). To give your plug-ins some real analogue hardware life.

Mr Hyde has 1/4” input and output jacks on the rear, so it can be connector straight to a mixer or DAW audio interface without the need for adaptors.

On the top panel are mini jack sockets to patch with a semi-modular synth, such as AS’s very own Fusebox, or to Eurorack and other modular systems.

Mr Hyde can change the sound in subtle ways, such as nice sweeping filtering, right up to mangled FM mayhem!

Designed, engineered, and hand built in England.

Further synthBlocks are already in development including Dr. Strangelove, who will be with us soon!

Spec –

Multimode 12db analogue filter, featuring Low pass, High pass, Band pass, and Notch filters.

Resonance with Boost feature to make it self oscillate.

LFO with Triangle and Square wave signals.

Range switch, to bring the modulation speed into audio frequencies.

1/4” and mini jack sockets for audio / CV input and output.

Small compact desktop site format. Will fit into your palm!

Exceptional build quality.

More to come!"
