VSL prototype CEM3340 single VCO : Demo 1

Published on Mar 25, 2019 Vintage Synthlab

"CEM3340 based single VCO, precision analog, high quality, with HS+/-, SS1/2, LIN/EXP FM, and 5 independent waveform outputs : sine, triangle, ramp, square / PWM, sub.

Price: TBD
Availability: Stay tuned via VSL social media (IG, YT, FB or vintagesynthlab.com )

In this first demo video, we illustrate just how accurate our CEM3340 VCO design is. All analog, precision trim-pots, high quality ICs, high quality film caps and 0.1% resistors used in critical circuits ...even those areas that other designs overlook!)

RANGE switch: LFO-1; LFO-2; 64', 32', 16', 8', 4', 2'

CLUTCH switch: when yellow (default) allows RANGE switch to operate freely; when red (engaged) latches RANGE switch to current selection. Switch can be rotated without affecting VCO, until released (push of the CLUTCH switch again... i.e. toggles between both modes).

HARD SYNC features: Hard Sync +, Hard Sync can be engaged independently.

SOFT SYNC features: SS1 and SS2 mode allows negative sync signal to reset VCO (tri-core). SS2 mode is weaker, however both will allow the VCO to interact in interesting ways with ext mod sources (as seen in this video demo)."

Eurorack delayed envelope VSL D-ENV self-cycling looping feature demo

Published on May 29, 2018 Vintage Synthlab

1. Jump the GATE IN jack and D-G IN jack with a stackable.
2. Set the DELAY to maximum, and the HOLD to about 50%.
3. Use another cable plugged into the jumper at the D-G IN jack and momentarily connect to the INV OUT jack (this takes advantage of the INV OUT's resting or nominal +8V for a positive trigger feed into the D-G IN jack which in turn feeds the DELAY timer a signal to start the timing process.
4. In less than one second after initially connecting the INV OUT to the trigger cable, move it over to the D-G OUT jack before the HOLD L.E.D. goes out. If you connect before then, you should have a self-cycling D-ENV!

The above procedure is safe to perform on the D-ENV module. Any deviation from this method, including different voltages, different systems, or modifications are not recommended by VSL.

Vintage Synth Lab : D-ENV Eurorack delayed gate & trigger envelope generator

Published on Feb 7, 2018 Vintage SynthLab

"The D-ENV is a 10hp Eurorack analog (exponential) envelope generator (AR, ADSR) with an additional Delay and Hold circuit to generate delayed gates or triggers, and hold time up to 1 second. The D-ENV's delay circuit is completely independent of the ADSR, however the delayed gate (or trigger) can be routed internally using the D-G or D-T switches. The Delayed Gate and Trigger output jacks are always available, regardless of internal routing. CV to control DELAY time (DELAY controls sets maximum delay time). The Delay circuit is essentially a one-bit shift register which only allows gates or triggers at the DG-IN jack to be acknowledged once the complete DELAY, then HOLD (sequence time minimum is 24 ms, or 12 ms for each stage) process is complete. During the DELAY or HOLD processing, the DG-IN jack ignores all incoming delay gate signals. Inverted output of the EG is also available. Short and Long modes are accessible from the front panel, however the extended long range can be set on the rear of the module for extra long envelopes."

VSL Multi Product Demo : VCF-74 Mk2 ; D-ENV ; VCO-2

Published on Jan 25, 2018 Vintage SynthLab

"Vintage Synth Lab Eurorack modular synth product demo for the VCF-74 (mk2), D-ENV, and the VCO-2 (prototype phase).
In this video, we have our Beatstep Pro sending two separate sequences to the two independent oscillators of the VCO-2 (prototype dual CEM3340 oscillator), and the two independent D-ENV (Delayed Env Generators). The two D-ENV modules are sending envelopes to each VCO voice's VCF and VCA simultaneously, and respectively.

Note: the D-ENV is expected to start shipping in early February, while the VCO-2 is in prototype phase. We will be developing the next phase (as a likely production candidate) of our VCO-2 during the first half of 2018."

I believe this is the first post to mention the VCO-2. The VCF-74 Mk2 and D-ENV have been featured in previous posts. See the Vintage Synth Lab label directly below for more.

Vintage Synth Lab : D-ENV

Published on Dec 31, 2017 Vintage SynthLab

"The D-ENV is two modules in one. A utility and effect, for both module functions. A standard exponential analog envelope generator (AR/ADSR), plus a Delayed Gate / Trigger & Gate-Hold with independent access to all both module functions, yet linkable via the push of a front panel switch--in order to route either a Delayed Gate or Delayed Trigger to the inertial AR/ADSR as initial EG triggering or additional "re-trigger" of the AR/ADSR function."

AWM-3 Demo #5 : Stereo Chorus effect with wavefolding and matrix-mixing

Published on Mar 25, 2017 Vintage SynthLab

"The AWM-3 is not just a mixer and wavefolder. It's ability to uniquely wave shape signal in realtime as a pure analog waveform processor, defined compression for more wave-shaping possibilities, and a set of all matrix-mix combinations as dedicated buffered outputs create wonderful, lush, stereo chorus effect when external modulation sources are applied to the CV inputs."

"AWM-3 - Analog Wavefold Mixer

Analog Wavefold Mixer Eurorack Module in 16HP

$279.00

The AWM-3 is an all analog, real-time, complex wave-shaping (triple wave-folder) 3-channel mixer module with added features of compression and multiple mix modes including matrix mixes. The combination of multiple access points (outputs of various mixes), wave-folding, and compression allow for an extremely wide array of signal processing, including complex chorus-like sounds.

All three channels are identical and can operate independently. They can also be cascaded (connected in series) to obtain double and triple wave-folding. The compressor at the front-end of each channel allows for not only unique wave-shaping, but the ability to send asymmetrical wave-shaped signals through multiple wave-fold stages while preserving a better managed signal process.

With individual outputs for each channel, a master mix (and master level control), as well as three matrix mix outputs as: “MIX 1+2” (1 OUT + 2 OUT), “MIX 2+3” (2 OUT + 3 OUT), “MIX 1+3” (1 OUT + 3 OUT), the AWM-3 is wave-shaper, signal processor, and multi-mode mixer.
