AnymaV Noise Fix for Hard Synth Patches - Mark Steiner

video upload by Mark Steiner

"Patches that were made on the Editor for the Anyma Phi (hard synth) and then loaded on the Anyma V (plugin/stand alone) currently will often have white noise blasting loudly that wasn't meant to be there.

Until this bug is fixed... here is an easy work around. Tested and good.

I have a bank of 164 Sounds that work great in both (this fix saved/included) now for Wind Synths. $95 Email me at monkeydrums@hotmailDOTcom to order.

It is also included in my Time Travel Wind Synth package for $250... includes all my sound collections (about 800 sounds currently and growing, you'll get all future collections/additions as well).

Thanks!"

The second edition of the Memetune Programme Annual - for the year 2024

Hardback book (A4 size) with 74 full colour pages and download code for the accompanying music album

Based on the second season of Benge's unique 6 part TV series focussing on his passion for vintage synths, studio gear and video production equipment

The Memetune 2024 Annual follows the TV series format, broken down into the following categories:

LITTLE BLACK BOXES looks at some classic 80s and 90s rack mount synths, instruments that are often overlooked due to their utterly bland appearance. Their sounds, however, are anything but

SWITCHED ON CYBERSYNTHS features a brief history and description of abstract electronic music, in particular sounds created on modular synths, taking in randomness, chaos theory, feedback loops, nonlinear modifiers, plus stochastic and algorithmic ideas. It ends with perhaps the largest modular synth patch ever attempted, featuring 11 of the Memetune modulars containing over 430 modules

SYNTHESISER CLUB points a vintage video camera at various synthesisers and systems, and focuses on ‘families’ of synths, meaning a group of instruments made by one manufacturer in a particular time in synth history

PATCHING TODAY is a deep dive into patching on a selection of vintage modular systems, namely the Modcan A-Series (the most versatile modular ever made?), the Polyfusion 2000 (the simplest modular?), an EMS rig containing a VCS3, TKS sequencer, 8-octave filter bank and dual Synthi 100 HPF (the most English modular?), a Paia 4700 (the worst modular ever made?), the Buchla 100 (the first modular ever made?) and a hybrid Roland “green” modular system containing a modified System 100, SH5 with special modular panel and RE201 Space Echo (the ‘wonkiest’ system ever made?)

VIDEO LAB begins by presenting a short film called Proof of Hypertravel made entirely in the Lab, and then goes on to detail the lengthy process that went into making it, covering such things as Storyboarding, World-Building, Green Screening, Compositing, Special Effects, and types of vintage video cameras

There is also the Memetune Puzzle Page, the legendary Memetune Dictionary of Words, and a tour of the Memetune garden in a 1980 Lotus Esprit

The music on the download album that accompanies this annual has been selected from the second series and contains all the tracks made in the Synthesiser Club, Patching Today and Little Black Boxes sections respectively, approximately 60 minutes of original synthesiser compositions to enjoy whilst perusing the Annual

Exploring vactrol filters and modular utilities with Nekyia Circuits Mezcal, Muzzle & Cadence

video upload by Tom Churchill

"In this video I’m checking out three modules from Nekyia Circuits. Muzzle is a vactrol-based filter; Mezcal is a compact multi-utility that includes a mult, rectifier, mixer and comparator; and Cadence is a triple decay envelope generator. Between them they provide lots of really useful analogue tools for a modular synth setup, and they all have some interesting twists.

I build a few patches that not only show what these modules can do but also provide some more general patching tips and tricks for modular synths. Hopefully they’ll give you some ideas for things to try with your own setup if you have modules that can do similar things."

Also see FM Synthesis Simplified w/ Legends Stephan Schmitt & Manny Fernandez.

"This video complements our 'Demystifying FM' video. It showcases Tim Sund's innovative patches from his performance at Superbooth 2024. You'll learn how to create these one-of-a-kind FM synthesis sounds with musical examples performed by Tim.

We'll also explore the value of Stephan Schmitt's synthesizer philosophy, which parallels classical instrument design focused on performers.

This isn't a sponsored video; Hanging out with synth designers and specialist performers is enlightening to me. I hope you gain as much musical and sound design insight as I have making this video!"

Oberheim OB-X8 - FM Sound Bank

video upload by Polydata

"Pushing the classic Oberheim sound to new frontiers, the FM Sound Bank for the OB-X8 takes advantage of the expanded functionality of this synth to create complex and musical FM tones not previously possible in the OB series.

The key difference lies in the fact that you now have control over the FM index (amount). In the OB-X there was only an on/off button for X-Mod, which would engage FM at full blast. With exponential FM on an analog synth, this meant that the tuning of the voices wouldn't match, and there was no way to finely dial in the tuning of the oscillators. On the OB-X8 this fine tuning is possible, as well as precise control over the levels of the oscillators, for detailed timbrel blending.

A bank of 32 patches which all utilize the audio rate "X-Mod" functionality of the OB-X8. These patches place an emphasis on "digital" types of sounds, a new sonic frontier for an OB synth.

Store link: polydata.bigcartel.com

Patches load into the OB-SX Bank, groups 8-11. Requires firmware 2.0 or higher.

Recorded completely dry, with no effects or processing."

RadioPhonic Real-time Performance, All-analogue sounds, all AJH Synth Eurorack modules

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"A RadioPhonic Real-time Performance, All-analogue sounds, all AJH Synth Eurorack modules. Inspired by the electronica of the 1970's and comprising 3 voices: A 3-VCO drone/chord using the Gemini 2412 as 2 separate filters being cross-modulated. A single VCO sequence, using the Ring SM to add a sub-octave/sub bass to the sawtooth wave of the oscillator. A voice-like sound, using one, then two oscillators into the Transistor Ladder Filter (VCO and VCF both based on the original R.A Moog version of the Minimoog). A choir-like sound created by running 2 VCO sawtooths into the Wave Swarm and then the Fixed Filter Bank 914 (based on the original Moog modular). Then, both the previous 2 sounds combined in the Next Phase 12-stage analogue phaser, swept by its own internal LFO. Two additional sound effects created by using the random voltage mode of the Tap Tempo VC-LFO to modulate the self-oscillating Sonic XV diode filter, it's frequency also being affected by the Contour Generators to create descending pitches. Finally, a DH-ADSR envelope generator controlling the Entropic Doom. Both envelope modules are manually triggered.

The RadioPhonic is a Eurorack modular synth commissioned by Hans Zimmer, recreations of which are now available to pre-order at https://ajhsynth.com/Radiophonic.html.

The RadioPhonic features 48 AJH Synth modules, including 8 envelopes, 7 VCOs, 6 LFOs, 6 VCFs, up to 7 VCAs, random voltage generators, random gates, phaser, fixed filter bank, dedicated noise oscillator, wave-folder, wave multipliers, audio and CV mixers, ring modulators, sub-octave generator, glide/slew, octave/semitone switching, multiples... and in a beautiful hardwood, well-powered Eurorack case. All modules are also available separately, or as part of pre-assembled, ready to play systems.

G-Storm Electro Introduces GODSPEar | Oxford OSCar Eurorack Filter Translation

[Demo #1] video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2024

Today I am introducing GODSPEar, my homage to the Oxford OSCar filter in Eurorack format. GODSPEar is the only filter used in these audio recordings. Detailed explanation of the module and patch examples will be in a forthcoming Demo #2. Audio recorded direct to Tascam DR-05, some additional compression and normalization used in the making of this audio.

These audio demos from this video can be heard on their entirety on my Soundcloud page. http://soundcloud.com/gstormelectro"



via Reverb

"As Oscar translates from Celtic to God’s Spear, now GODSPEar is my translation Oxford OSCar Synthesizer filter for the Eurorack format. GODSPEar has a special look and sound that pays special homage to OSCar designer Chris Huggett’s creation. The Oxford OSCar would inherit some of the funky DNA from EDP WASP as it was discontinued at the time. Hailed as Europe’s answer to the Minimoog, sets itself apart from Bob’s hardware with some curious technical wizardry all its own.

The OSCar, and now with my GODSPEar filter were already interesting to start. It is actually TWO FILTERS each w/ 2-Pole cutoff slope. The cutoff frequencies of the two filters can diverge from each other by an adjustable SEPARATION control. The “Q” resonance control behaves as one would expect when no SEPARATION is used. But in BANDPASS mode, with higher Q settings as well as SEPARATION impart vocal formant sounds.

Divorced of any CPU control prowess as it was implemented on the original. GODSPEar filter control has been designed from the ground up to work well w/ the Euro standard. And to meet the stringent requirements that discerning modular synth enthusiasts have come to expect. Yet retains the original core topology, a full analog signal path, NOS NJM13600 OTAs, as well as V/Oct filter tracking. Logic assisted Filter MODE selection button toggle. Two external CV inputs for control of Frequency. And now the additional features of CV control over Q, and yes CV control of Separation.

Beware - CV control over Separation is serious business.These signals were only meant to diverge in one direction. Sending the cutoff frequencies in the other directions yield vanishing Bandpass audio and unintended consequences for Low/HighPass modes. Thus on GODSPEar, I’ve added an active Full Wave Rectifier circuit to govern the Separation CV input as gate-keeper and peace maker. Go ahead and send your bi-polar LFO signals etc. Just know in doing so, any negative voltage components will be flipped over to the positive realm. You’re welcome.

FREQUENCY | the initial Cutoff Frequency of the filter

Q | the depth of the peak frequency resonant feedback.Res will self-oscillate without an input signal present.

Q CV | Modulate the Q Resonance w/ any polar/bi-polar mod signal. This signal is summed against the Initial Q amount knob.

IN 1 & IN 2 | Mix together 2 different audio signals, each w/ their own mix pot.

Freq CV | Modulate the Cutoff Frequency w/ any polar/bi-polar signal. At 12 o’clock, the pot has no modulation. In the Counter-Clockwise direction it can invert the incoming control signal.

KB | Modulate the Cutoff Frequency w/ a V/oct signal or any other polar/bi-polar mod. Self-oscillation resonance will loosely track v/oct when KB is set to 100%, allowing the self-oscillation Q sinewave to be played in a musical fashion.

TYPE | Toggle switch for choosing the filter MODE: Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass.

SEPARATION | Initial amount that diverges the frequency cutoff spread between the two filters.

SEP CV | Control Voltage Input with attenuator knob for modulating the Initial Separation amount. Input CV Signal is passed through a Full Wave Rectifier so that Separation behaves in a prescribed manner as expected, thereby preserving audio integrity.

OUT | the mono audio output jack.

Spearhead your own analog filter trajectory by racking up something a bit outside the usual fare. GODSPEar is made in limited quantities, not mass produced – so don’t wait and get yours whenever available. Includes a 10-pin to 16-pin Eurorack ribbon connector. Rack screws are not included as it’s presumptuous that one fastener spec suits everybody. Fasteners are possibly available upon request if you let me know your specs I’ll see what I can do. I highly recommend After Later Audio Rack Screws sold separately here on Reverb."
