Moog Sound Studio: 50 Patches for DFAM, Mother-32, Subharmonicon. + Samples. Presets Demo. No talk


video upload by Anton Anru

"Welcome to the soundset for a semi-modular system Moog Sound Studio: DFAM + Mother-32 + Subharmonicon. It is a collection of 50 patches that include basses, drums/percussion, leads, plucks, textures, FXs. There is a wide range of sound colors inside the pack: massive and gentle, aggressive and soft, bright and dull, melodic and inharmonic tones, straight and polymetric patterns.

🔮 Get the soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/moog/

Highlights:
✅ high level of interconnection of the synths
✅ thoroughly set parameters
✅ detailed notes for patches full of tips and tricks
✅ audio examples in 4 versions: DFAM only, M-32 only, Subharmonicon only, all together
✅ to recreate these patches, you need up to 17 patch cables + splitter/multiplier («star») or a stackable cable.
✅ one of my hardest work ever, I spent up to 2,5 hours for each patch
✅ FREE BONUS: 200 samples with Scale and BPM (95-128 BPM), Wav 24/44100

The main point of the soundset is the high level of interconnection, not just syncing the synths with independent timbres (individual patches for DFAM, Mother-32, and Subharmonicon are also available on my website). In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are soldered and can’t exist separately:
🔸 they modulate each other with LFO and Envelopes
🔸 a sequence from one synth may change parameters on others
🔸 triggers interaction, clock/rhythm, run/stop modulations break predictable patterns
🔸 audio signals from VCOs may be used as modulation sources to create harmonies/intervals or crazy experimental inharmonic tones
🔸 or they may be used just as audio sources that go to another synth to be processed with its (different) filter and envelope and get the «second life».
DFAM, M32, and SUBH play different and clear roles, it’s not a sound mess, but the synths working in close cooperation.

Palmelund Synthesizers Ampel



via this auction

"Designed to work with the Ciat-Lonbarde family in mind but will work with all sorts of banana synths.

----------

- Banana nodes follow the Ciat Lonbarde color scheme (mostly) warm colors are outputs, and cold colors are inputs, (i consider grey a cold color)

- Outputs are 0-9V

- Output gates can be staked to produce CV. but if a gate output is used in a stack, it might not work with a logic input, luckily there are plenty gate outputs., 8 on each of the first 3 modules!

(The two LFO outputs are lower impedance and isn’t as suited for stacking, but the rest of module 1,2 and 3 outputs are great for stacking)

-Power supply: 12V dc center positive 5.5mm/2.1mm. (same as CL).

The modules (left to right):

1. LFO / DIV: are two clocks (LFOS) with a logic output and a sync input. And a clock divider with an input and a reset.

2. A shift register, upper banana is clock input, lower is data input. Upper button is force input high, lower is force input low.

3. Is a magic sunset scene with sparkling stars.

4.You put 3 gates in, and they will choose one of the 8 pots and output a cv at the warm node, corresponding to that pot.

Patching tips!

The base idea was this:

Clock the logic shift register and sunset with the 2 clocks, obviously there are only 2 clocks, and 5 inputs. So use their own logic outs and cross patch them. Take a random logic and and feed the clock divider with it. Take a division and and input it into one of the sync inputs. If you wait, the device will now fall into a repeating, but often quite chaotic (depends on the patch) rhythm. Choosing a bigger or smaller division, or a logic that fires more often or less often sets the repeating length. Adjusting of the clocks slightly might change the sequence completely, and you might not get it back!.

Take your 3 favorite logic gate signals and patch it to module 4 and send it to something (could even be one of its own inputs) and stack a few of the unused gates and send it to something else."

Sunset at the balcony while playing synths + emergency radio


video upload by Agustín Spinetto

"I've been playing my modular synth at the balcony and catch some of the colors of the sunset. Also connected my emergency radio, that has a winding crank for getting electricity, and live looped it using the Monsoon module. Everything was controlled and played with the sequencer from Korgs that I bought a couple of months ago, and I am still learning how to get the best from it.
I specially like how it gets dark as time pass by, Check it out!

Estuve tocando un poco los sintes en el balcón y justo pude filmar los colores del atardecer. También conecte la radio de emergencia que tiene una manivela para darle electricidad y la loopee en vivo usando el modulo Monsoon. Todo lo estuve controlando con el secuencer de Korg, que tengo hace unos meses y que todavía estoy aprendiendo a exprimirlo lo máximo que pueda.
Especialmente me gusta como se va escureciendo mientras pasa el tiempo, fijate!"

There is a wide range of sound colors inside the pack: massive and gentle, aggressive and soft, bright and dull, harmonic and dissonant tones, straight and polymetric rhythms.

🔮 Get the soundset: https://bit.ly/3x756yg

Highlights:
✅ high level of interconnection of the synths
✅ thoroughly set parameters
✅ detailed notes for patches full of tips and tricks
✅ audio examples in 3 versions: DFAM only, Subharmonicon only, both together
✅ to recreate these patches you need up to 12 patch cords
✅ one of my hardest work ever, I spent up to 2 hours for each patch
✅ FREE BONUS: 150 samples with Scale and BPM (75-126 BPM), Wav 24/44100

The main point of the soundset is the high level of interconnection, not just syncing the two synths with independent timbres (individual patches for DFAM and Subharmonicon are also available on my website). In this patchbook the timbres of the synths are soldered and can’t exist separately:

At the same time, they play different and clear roles, it’s not a sound mess, but two synths working in close cooperation.

💽 Also, there’s a separate folder with WAV samples with the same timbres, with Scale and BPM information. You may use them inside a sampler or DAW if you want 100% same sound as in the examples. Slice them for one-shots or loops, this is a great material for further editing and processing.

The soundset is presented in the form of PDF-Document. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters worth tweaking during the playback, how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn lots of things about the synth and discover its true depth.

Each patch has audio examples, they help to understand how a patch is supposed to sound. Audio examples for a patch are presented in three variants: DFAM only, Subharmonicon only, and both together.

Waldorf Microwave XT - Non Nextel - Mint with New Knobs

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this auction

"This is the rare Non-Nextel edition and in really good shapoe.
There are not a lot of Non-Nextels around there and actually this is the only edition who doesnt get shitty colors.
Hence the price. It's also a V3 board so it can receive the voice upgrade which is still available around.

Whats the difference with the Nextel versions? Most Microwave XT versions have that that terrible Nextel paint which decays (gets sticky, flaky, dirty and grey-ish) over time and this can't be fixed. The surface on the edition listed keeps the strong orange colour. I will add some pictures in daylight this was at dawn. Also this version hold it's value if you look at the website history it sells for around this price.

Also the synths had really terrible knobs which are decaying and get sticky and just break apart. I replaced them with premium knobs who look better and don't fall apart over time.

The unit is close to mint it has a few scratch from it's age :)
Display is perfect
Latest version produced so comes with Board #3, possible to upgrade to 30 voices
Original Adapter included"

Updates on the New OB-X Synths



As you know Oberheim recently posted a new teaser for their upcoming synth. It's obviously a new OB-X. The big question is will it be different from the original?

Swissdoc created an image featuring the highlights from the video. Here's what he had to say about it:

"I created a focus stack from the movie to get the full picture.

Compared to pictures of the OB-X I noticed these differences:
Knobs for Menu at the bottom left of the Programmer buttons 1-8
In the Portamento/Detune section there are three buttons instead of one

The upper row seems to be identical, I see/guess the same number of knobs
Colors and knobs i.e. the industrial design is taken over 1:1"

He also reminded me of Abstract Instruments rackmount OB-X, the VS-1.

The following is an update on the project from their Kistarter campaign posted just a few days ago on April 25.

"We're back up to full speed making very good progress. We've decided to prepare the DIY kits for shipping with the option to ship the mainboard in a second shipment. There is a lot of building to complete for the kits and this will allow everyone to get started while software development is completed. As mentioned in a few prior updates.. parts for full parts kits are packaged per PCB assembly. Each PCB has the relevant parts separated, even if the same part number is used in more than one PCB assembly. This makes it easier for assembly and partial shipments. For the mainboard we're 'still' testing a few aspects including the new interface option for the OLED and vetting a new ROM IC. We still don't want to make this assembly until 100% sure it's perfect. We're not sure when the DIY kits will start shipping but I will update soon with a delivery estimate once we have a reasonable estimate. The full retail versions are built in groups of (10) units. We've had the first few groups staged for along time already and will start to ship once the software is ready.

I received many messages last Friday and over the weekend regarding the Behringer UB-X. Some colleagues and customer friends were snickering at the notion I might be working for Behringer. I will confirm the answer is no. The design of the OB-X is very particular. On one hand it's a textbook implementation of a polyphonic analog synthesizer. If you were designing a polyphonic analog in 1978 the OB-X is basically what you would find in publications of the time. Discrete oscillator, 12dB OTA-based filter, OTA-based VCA's and the new CEM ADSR IC's. On the other hand there are many minor quirks that you do not want to overlook. That said I know the in-house engineers at Behringer are excellent engineers. At the end of the day these synths aren't rocket science and these guys know what they are doing. The fact that they contracted someone to help is interesting. I do not have any insight as to who or why they have contracted someone. In any case it's safe to say I would not agree w/ all of the design trade-offs that will end up in the Behringer model. The VS-1 is second to none in this regards. Since we are a boutique company we can focus intensely one one or two designs and don't need to make any design trade-offs.

On a personal note I had mentioned that the office was closed at the beginning of the year for family reasons. I wanted to let everyone know at the time that there was a reason for the inactivity, but didn't believe it was necessary to go into details. However I received many personal messages and would like to confirm that there is no concern at home or with the VS-1. My wife and I had premature babies...twins. They came dangerously early and it was full time care for a good while. Babies are at home and healthy.

And finally we have Behringer's UB-X update from the 22nd.

Three OB-X synths are in the works. One with the orginal build from the original maker, one rackmount, and one compact. It's worth noting Sequential typically follows up with a desktop version of their flagship keyboard synths a few months later as well, and if its not obvious, Oberheim is backed by the Sequential team.

"This unit was tested and is working surprisingly well for a user assembled unit of its type and age. Since it's a relatively low value item, since tech time is valuable, and since most people who buy Paia gear are also into DIY electronics and enjoy doing their own repairs, we are selling it as is. This is one of the simplest synths ever made so sorting out its issues or even fully refurbishing it to be as good as new shouldnt be hard for someone who knows what they're doing. During testing, we noticed the following issues: The envelope generator attack seems too fast at maximum setting and the expand function doesn't seem to work. The oscillator doesn't track the keyboard well. We didn't attempt to calibrate the oscillator so doing so may or may not fix this -these 2700 paia oscillators typically dont track well, so this may just be due to design and not any defect. If you can't do your own repairs and don't have a good tech, you may want to trying to get in touch with Paia to see if they'd consider doing it or if they could refer you to someone who works on old Paia gear. This sale includes technical manuals and patch cables, as shown. Note: the manual colors changed a bit during photo editing, but the synth looks exactly the way it appears in the pics."
