Gotharman's Urano: STARGAZER-inspired Modular Synth Patch Demo #TTNM

video upload by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Møffenzeef's open-source STARGAZER wavetable drone synth has intrigued me for a long time. So I tried to create a patch on my Gotharman Urano modular synthesizer inspired by it. Of course, if you want the real deal, you need to buy or build an actual Stargazer, but I was interested to see where I would end up with that challenge on Gotharman's Urano.

I patched two wavetable oscillators into a lowpass filter module, from there onwards to the Gotharman bit crusher effect, into another lowpass filter and at the end of the chain into a virtual distortion module. Since I only had nine knobs at my disposal on the Urano, I chose to toggle LFO modulation on and off via switches at the bottom, with LFO rates also being controlled by the parameter knobs. So dual knob assignments, like on the Benjolin. It's fun. The wavetables I used are from the user repository at https://waveeditonline.com. They're way less wild than on the original Stargazer, so I'll experiment some more on that front.

Moffenzeef Modular Stargazer // In depth demo & deep dive into a cosmic world of hands on drones

Published on Nov 16, 2018 DivKidVideo

"**TIMING INDEX BELOW** Here's my in depth demo / feature run down and deep dive into the Stargazer. The first video I made (below) was just patches and no talking, the third sand final (for now) video will more of the Stargazer with FX and drums so watch out for that too. I go through the oscillators, filters, bit crush / downsample, wavetable LFOs and more. Timing index and sections below to skip around if you're just curious about certain sections.

This is part 2 (the main demo/overview) of 3 videos I have planned with the Stargazer. Here's the first video with more patches and NO TALKING! - [posted here]

**TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS **

00:13 Patch previews

01:02 What is the Stargazer?

01:48 VCO(s) - looking at the wavetables, how the dual VCO set up works, detune and subs.

04:56 Filter 1 - post VCO (obviously?) but pre everything else.

05:51 Alias and Redux - or downsample and bit crush

07:53 Filter 2 - clean up all that noisy lush digital mess before the final VCA

08:34 VCA and CMOS Distortion

09:24 the 3 wavetable LFOs, waves, rate, depth and destinations

12:40 3 different drones / musical gestures and sound FX to round out the video."

Moffenzeef Stargazer & MSG II Drone Synthesizers

Published on Jan 4, 2019

"Moffenzeef has two standalone drone synthesizers, the full featured and gritty Stargazer which has a dual wavetable oscillator, sample rate reducer, dual resonant filters, three LFOs and distortion. We also used the smaller MSG II with Dwarfcraft Devices Hax 2 ring modulator pedal.

The Stargazer has 90 different waveforms letting you get a ton of different textures from the oscillators, it also has an expression pedal input to control the speed of the LFOs, in this video we used some Moffenzeef modules in a 4MS Pod case to control the LFOs.

The MSG II is smaller than the Stargazer, but has 8 different synthesis modes, so it can also produce many different sounds."

New Stargazer firmware

video upload by Møffenzeef Mødular

"New alternate firmware for Stargazer!
https://github.com/moffenzeefmodular/...

This firmware was designed by Oui Ennui: https://ouiennui.com/

Change log:
1.) The "sub" switch is now for turning quantization on the main oscillator on and off. When down, the stargazer behaves as it normally does as a free running oscillator. When turned up the notes are quantized chromatically from note A0 to A4 in 440hz concert pitch.
2.) The detune knob changes it's behavior when quantize switch is engaged. Now when the switch is activated, it's chromatic range is -2 octaves to +2 octaves in relation to the main oscillator. It will always retail it's harmonic relationship with the root pitch from the main oscillator.
3.) LFO1 now controls the amplitude of the primary oscillator and not filter1 cutoff.
4.) LFO2 now controls the amplitude of the secondary oscillator and not the main volume of the unit.
5.) The overall frequency range of the main and secondary oscillator has been restricted to 27.5hz - 440hz in free running mode. This free running frequency range correlates to the A0-A4 change when quantize is engaged.

***In the "alt" firmware above, the only difference is that the expression pedal is now mapped to the secondary oscillator mix knob instead of the main wavetable selection knob."

via this auction

"Here is a thoroughly EXC Condition rare as hensteeth, phat and violent filtered beast. The Univox Maxi-Korg K-3.
Full service just performed by one of Detroit's premier synth gurus. All is cleaned, polished, tuned, stabilized, perfected. Bill came in just over $300 and that's with our frequent flyer discount.
As to what these do, how they sound, nature of this beast-- The overall timbre is rich and manifest heaven. The discrete oscillators sound magical, early rocks root with twists landing solid and timeless, turning magnificently around and absconding one's self, original fire and dirt-- thick but open, plenty of mid-bite. Station to station on this face-plate landscape land on future satellites such as the traveler high and lo-pass filters, duality all along, one completely independent from the other-- the stargazer in the field, the atmosphere weightless, blue. It's only pre-1979 stuff that has this wide open deeply rooted star-quadrant 50 foot plow the back-hoe thru lava disregard. Red AND blue!

ORIGINAL US 117V UNIT."
