Twisted Electrons Acid 8 Jams

Acid 8 Twisted Electrons (Jam 1) & PO-12 Published on Aug 8, 2015 space travel made easy

"Little jam with Twisted Electrons Acid 8 and Teenage Engineering PO-12 Drum Machine. Just programmed both really quickly for a jam to show the kind of sounds the Acid 8 can come up with.

This is by no means a finished song and just touches on what the little Acid 8 is capable of. I cannot recommend this little Acid machine enough. You need one in your life. Such fun just to jam with, patterns etc can easily be copied and pasted on the fly as you jam."

"At the heart of BlastBeats is a vintage FM chip called YMF-262 also known as the OPL3 chip & previously found in computer sound cards of the early 90s.

These chips were notoriously hard to program and were rarely used to their full potential. However, they can produce surprisingly rich beautiful and utterly dirty sounds with a bit of exploring...

By putting so many parameters within easy reach BlastBeasts makes it fun and easy to master the signature sound of the DOS era!

RYTHM & SYNTH
BlastBeats is a 10 voice groove box offering 6 drum voices and 4 synth instruments.

The many faders offer full control over the parameters of the instruments and can be automated and modulated per step ​

Beats and melodies are a pleasure to program thanks to the high quality illuminated buttons"

"Twisted Electrons therapSID retro synthesizer. This synth takes over full control of everything the legendary SID synthesizer chip from the Commodore 64 has to offer! If you’re in to chiptune or just want to add some retro/ vintage sounds to your productions, this is the box for you!

The original therapSIDs were a very DIY feeling box and this one is no exception. These were assembled by Twisted Electrons in a very DIY style and the look of the box reflects that. The wood sides aren’t perfectly cut and the plastic case isn’t perfectly straight, but this unit is in the exact condition in which I received it, straight from Twisted Electrons."

Twisted Electrons TherapSID Presets DEMO - 100 Brand New Sounds

video upload by Sonic Freaks

"100 Brand New Presets designed by Sonic Freaks.
The presets are available here: https://www.sonicfreaks.com/shop/ther...

The presets are compatible with the Twisted Electrons TherapSID mk2 and mk3.

The preset demo was made in Logic Pro X.
The Twisted Electrons TherapSID was directly recorded via an Antelope Audio Orion 32 Gen 3+.
Half way every preset we added a bit of reverb to give the sound a bit of depth. We used the Chase Bliss CXM1978.

No other processing was done other then decreasing the stereo width of the Twisted Electrons TherapSID because in some occasions the sound became out of phase. I also added a noise gate because my SID chips are a bit noisy due to there age."

Twisted Electrons Announce TherapSid - C64 SID HARDWARE SYNTH

Twisted Electrons TherapSid Synth Demo - C64 SID SYNTH

Published on Sep 19, 2014 Twisted Electrons

"Overview: presets - lfo - step mod - ipad app"

"SID under full control
Named after a vicious dinosaur, its sound is no less aggressive.
TherapSid has evolved to create roaring noises that will cut through your mix like razor-sharp claws through a mammoth steak.
So why do you need another synth, since they already take 90% of the space in your room and your girlfriend keeps complaining about it?

Well, what sets TherapSid apart from other SID based synths is its focus on control. Instead of getting confused by lcds and damaging your eyesight trying to read tiny sub menu fonts, this instrument features no less than 35 knobs and 31 buttons to give you full power over your sound.

However, TherapSid also has it’s own iPad app allowing touchscreen control.

As with all our boutique instruments, TherapSid is lovingly handcrafted in the south of France and features a backlit front panel, walnut side-panels and comes with 100 presets to get you started. You can assign LFOs to knobs with one push of a button or sequence “snapshots” of knob positions using the flexible 16 step sequencer, enough to keep you busy until the next ice age.

TherapSid is available either with pre-installed and tested 6581 or without SID (if you already have your own).

We have a very limited stock of 6581 SIDS so don’t wait until they go extinct and order yours right now!

TherapSid is compatible with all variations of the SID chip including 6581, 8550 (6582) & Swinsid and it is simple to install your own.

The unit is configured to provide the correct voltages and the necessary filter capacitors for both generations are included.

FEATURES
-Compatible with all SIDS

-3 Oscillators, 4 waveforms per osc.

-Multimode Filter

-35 Knobs

-31 Buttons

-SID pcb isolated from main pcb (less noise)

-Switched audio input for running signals through the filter!

-100 Presets

-3 Lfos: 4 waveforms, 12 target knobs

-16 Step Modulator: sequence up to 20 knob positions, per step in a snap!
Also modulate Ring Mod, Sync and Waveform for all voices.

-Pedal Glide: enable/disable glide with the sustain pedal

-Compatible with our free iPad app (pending app store approval)

-Fully midi automated (see midi spec. chart in manual)

-Future proof: Firmware updates via sysex"

New Octopus Eurorack Module From Twisted Electrons

Published on Aug 23, 2016 Twisted Electrons

via twisted-electrons.com/octopus

"SWITCH 8 POTS, 8 SIGNALS
photoOctopus is a dual 8 way multiplexer/switch allowing to sequence up to 8 signals or potentiometers .

Sequence pitch with pots, switch audio signals with the cv inputs, so many possibilities!

The horizontal axis sets the channel, the vertical axis stores 8 channel positions.

The fun begins when you start sequencing or modulating the channel selector either:

Manually by use of the two large potentiometers
by overriding the potentiometers with CV (0-5V DC)
by moving up and down the vertical axis via Triggers (5v DC pulse)
NOTE: The CV inputs are not limited to Control Voltages. You can use octopus to “switch” audio too, like multiple waveforms of an oscillator, or audio tracks of a song!"

Twisted Electrons Brings the Ay3 to Eurorack

Ay3 Eurorack Module Overview Published on Feb 26, 2016 Twisted Electrons

via Twisted Electrons where you'll find addition details and audio demos.

"The AY-3-8912 is a programmable sound generator (PSG) designed by General Instrument at the end of the 1970s.
The AY3 gave voice to the Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Intellivision, AppleII Mockingbird sound card, MSX, Vectrex, ZX Spectrum 128K. Many early 1980s Arcade Games used two AYs; the Gyruss arcade board had five!

The AY3 eurorack module is the perfect solution to capture this piece of history in your rack with its slick & sturdy all-metal design and intuitive controls. The module can be set to 3 clocking modes: normal, Helium (overclocked) and Deep (underclocked), pushing the range of frequencies and sounds to the extreme.

"We are proud to present MEGAfm, a result of several years of development.

MEGAfm uses and abuses the vintage YM2612 FM chip originally found in the Megadrive/Genesis games console.

MEGAfm ships early March

BEAUTIFUL DIRT
Unlike most FM synthesizers that are very clean and digital, the YM2612 has very characterful tone allowing a broad sound palette ranging from beautiful plucked strings to growly distorted bass lines.

TACTILE OPERATORS
Hardware FM synthesizers are infamous for their reduced controls and complexity to program, with tiny LCD screens and only a couple of buttons to operate a load of menus…
With its 32 operators faders, 14 knobs and 15 buttons MEGAfm offers unprecedented hands-on FM control!

New Twisted Electrons Cells Module Overview

Published on Mar 30, 2016 Twisted Electrons

via Twisted Electrons

"Cells is a dual unipolar control voltage generator. Each of the 16 touch sensitive pads can be “fed” two 12bit values (semi-tone quantized or free scale), ranging from 0V to 5V

Although intended to be used as a duo-phonic instrument/sequencer, Cells can also be used to modulate filters, amps, anything with a cv input!

Operation Overview:
Feed It:
-Tap a pad to select it

-Hold a tune button to engage the “feeding process” (left button for channel 1, right for channel 2).

-Adjust a knob to the desired pitch (left knob for channel 1, right for channel 2).

So long as a tune button is held, the output is automatically changed as you move the knob

-Release the button, pitch information is stored to Eeprom

You can toggle between free scaling and semi-tone increment modes by pressing both tune buttons simultaneously.

Play it:
Press a pad to trigger both gate and cv outputs

Hold 2 or more pads and Cells will arpeggiate, the rate can now be changed with the left knob. The right knob changes the octave range.

Sequence it:
Sequence the cells using the 2 trigger inputs. The left input shifts up a row and the right input shifts right by one column

The gate outputs mirror the trigger inputs.

Cells requires +5V DC power to operate, as well as +/- 12V . On-board 12V to 5V conversion is provided if 5V isn’t available in your system. This is configured via a jumper on the rear of the module"
