AMSynths SUPERBOOTH Module News - April 2022

"Getting Ready for SuperBooth 22

We are hard at work developing new modules for launch at the best synth show of the year - Superbooth 22. We will be announcing the red faced AM8101 filter [posted here], a replica of the low pass filter in the Roland SH-101, as well as the AM8102 SH-2 style filter [below].

The AM8109 and AM8060 Jupiter filters are being relaunched - 10 years after they were introduced, with Special Edition and slim 10HP versions. AMSynths will also be announcing SH-101, Jupiter 6 and 8 VCO's to pair with these filters alongside the current Jupiter 4 VCO and VCF."

This module is faithful replica of the filter from the legendary Roland SH-2 that was released in 1979. The AM81012 is a fantastic sounding 4-pole low pass filter with that unmistakable Roland filter sound in a narrow skiff friendly, Eurorack module.

The module use an Alfa Rpar AS622 chips in the filter core (BA662 clones) and high quality polpropylene filter capacitors. The design includes buffering Op Amps to interface to Eurorack modular levels. The filter does not have Q compensation but the signal level does not decrease dramatically with higher Q settings. The resonance is smooth and controllable into self-oscillation, and the filter will oscillate from 20Hz to 20kHz.

There are slide potentiometers (with LED's) for adjusting the Frequency Cutoff, and the frequency modulation from Keyboard, LFO and Envelope CV signals, There are rotary potentiometers for adjusting the mix between two audio inputs and Resonance. There is a small slide switch to select whether the envelope CV input is Normal or Inverted.

The AM8102 is hand built with high quality components, including Wima polypropylene capacitors, Alpha potentiometers, and TR808 style control knobs.

There are six 3.5 mm jack sockets on the front panel:
2x audio inputs
3x frequency CV inputs
1x audio output
The module comes with a set of M3 mounting screws and washers, and a standard Doepfer power cable.

Part of an evolving collection, 'A Journey Through Synths'.
Full story & background: https://www.arthr.net/post/tb303

"Similar to all the other animations in this series, the sounds are recorded from the original unit that’s visually featured. I wanted the sound of the 303 to be unmistakable, so tracked the full rasp and squelch of the unit. The cutoff frequency and resonance parameters were gradually increased over the duration of the audio, so you really get to hear the sound open up. In 3D I built a small controller with rotary encoder type knobs that would operate the corresponding controls on the 303. Arthr then hovers over the knobs and strikes them with lightning to keep them energised and moving! To control Arthr’s back and forth motion and the on/off button for the lightning, I used a joystick reminiscent of the old Atari CX40 that would control all of this motion."

Full story & background: https://www.arthr.net/post/tr808

"As it’s been such an important part of my musical passage, ’A Journey Through Synths’ had to include the SH101. As with all the animations in this series, the sounds are recorded/sampled from the original unit that’s visually featured. The style of the main lead line you hear appears in most of my productions with the cutoff frequency and square wave mix parameters being modified.

To maintain an accurate sync between the audio with what’s happening visually, I built a little slide controller in 3D that would control the corresponding controls on the 3D SH101. To sync these with accuracy I matched the FX envelopes in Ableton to the timeline in 3D. Arthr also plays out the arrangement of notes on the keyboard, so each key was animated in line with the audio timeline. Next to the parameter controls, I thought it might also be fun to have a live recording device setup with a visual waveform to capture Arthr’s live performance as it happens."

Full story & background: https://www.arthr.net/post/sh101

"The animation for the 808 started with figuring out which components on the machine would be interactive. In order to emphasise the punchy, sharp transients of the drums, the only way to represent this was for Arthr to jump and land on every step switch with precision to make that solid audiovisual connection. As the drum pattern extends across the entire front of the machine, getting Arthr back to the beginning to start his loop again proved challenging. Experiments with backflips, cartwheels and other martial arts moves all looked a bit forced and artificial. The solution came after reminiscing with my nan about the time we broke one of the claw machines at the arcade and so the controlled claw came to mind. The Atari CX40 inspired joystick with a button to activate the claw grip seemed like a nice way to get him back to the start, whilst also giving a nod to another iconic piece of hardware from a bygone era."

"For the 909 I wanted to increase the level of detail in the scene. I really enjoyed the waveform feedback built into the SH101 animation, so constructed a device Arthr could operate that would include this. The industrial looking machine lets Arthr tap out the kick drum sequence in the track with a gavel/hammer like apparatus. Other little details included are the ever-spinning clock, accurate BPM display and the beat pulsing cables."

TR808 Drum Emulation Added to Happy Nerding FX AID

video upload by Happy Nerding

"Unexpected new addition to the FX AID programs - TR808 drums emulation. All drum voices are enhanced with additional controls over Tune, Attack and Decay portions. Thus possible variations in drum sound are far beyond that of the original TR808. Bass Drum, Rimshot, CowBell, Claves produce standard emulation on the Left output, and a bit modified on the Right output. Both channels are in phase, so can be crossfaded/mixed for additional variations. Clap, Snare, Tom, Maracas, Cymbal and HiHat are stereo, so they can be used with extra space already in the drums itself. Trig input to be connected to the Left input. A New "Generator" section was added to the FX AID editor, which contains these TR808 drums and 'Noise Station', 'Tuner' and 'Generator' programs were moved to this folder too."

Remember to choose EURORACK or DESKTOP version!
The 808 Cymbal Drone Generator use six fixed frequency square wave oscillators.

Each of the six oscillators have a volume pot. and a 12 db low pass resonant filter, the filter cut-off can be controlled by the potentiometer or the photoresistor.

Lumanoise works with voltage between 9 and 12 volt

You can find a demo of one posted here.

"A special version of the Rave-O-Lution 309 with a black finish, special patterns, and two sound expansion boards (Drum X & Synth X)

A lot of the internal patterns sound like direct excerpts from Klaus Schulze's techno albums.

The 309 is pretty much a Roland TR808/909 drum machine with a TB303 built in. It has a sequencer, dozens of drum, percussion and synth sounds to choose from, four audio outputs, two audio input, built-in effects and MIDI.

The bass drum, snare and hi-hat sounds can be chosen from a whole bank of samples and have pitch and decay knobs to help find that perfect tone.

There's a 12-note polyphonic bank of percussion sounds which include a lot of synth and string hits.

The mono lead/bass synth has a variable lowpass filter with resonance so you can tweak to your hearts content.

Effects wise, there's the "Overblast" overdrive knob as well as delay, flanger, reverb and more!"
