Waldorf Largo Comes with Free Version of D-Pole

via andrew

"Just got my Waldorf Largo about an hour ago. Yeah, it's frakking awesome! I know you're loving that Blofeld, too! Anyway, just wanted to let you know that the Largo CD also comes with The Waldorf Edition LE (lite versions of Attack and Wave 2.v, full version of D-pole). I've been wanting to try out the 2.v (this version has 8 voices + 1 MIDI channel), so it's a very nice bonus!"

very cool

OCTAVE KITTEN

via this auction

"The Kitten offers two mixable modulators on both the VCO and VCF. The Axxe? No way. The Kitten's oscillator has three mixable waveforms, plus independent sliders for 2 suboctaves! The SH-09? Nope. The Kitten's filter is more ballsy and can be modulated by the oscillator! Korg MS-10? Not even close. The Kitten has just as many interface jacks and sounds much bigger. Overall the sound of this synthesizer is unique and high quality; it offers lots of flexibility for its size."

SouthPole ​Expedition ​Part ​2: ​Modulation ​Mixing ​and ​LFOs on AudioMulch

via AudioMulch
"In part 1 of this series about AudioMulch's SouthPole contraption I presented the basics of resonant lowpass filtering. I gave an example of using AudioMulch's automation system to create rhythmic patterns of filtering by automating SouthPole's Base Frequency, Resonance and Gain. If you haven't read it you might want to check out part 1 here. This week's post picks up the story with an explanation of SouthPole's modulation mixing system. Then we'll look at some examples using SouthPole's LFOs (low frequency oscillators) to create various types of time-varying filtering."

Adaptation of the lowpass gate circuit from the Buchla Music Easel

"To learn more about these kinds of circuits, check out my lectures for my class on "Electronics for Music Synthesis:" users.ece.gatech.edu/~lanterma/ems I discuss the Sallen-Key filter topology in Lecture 21. I think I talk about the Buchla circuit in Lecture 22, but I don't remember for sure now."

Natural Rhythm Lopass Gate Project

"Features of the RLPG:

* Up to 3 Audio Inputs
* Up to 3 Control Voltage Inputs
* Offset (Frequency) Control
* Resonance Control
* VCF/VCA/Both Modes (Rotary or 3PDT Option)
* "Deep" Switch to set lower freq range
* Inverted CV Out (From CV Mixer)
* Jumper points to bypass mixer or remove resonance circuit
* MOTM Pot Spacing
* Compatible with www.bridechamber.com panels
* Additional synthesizers.com Power Connector
* +/-15v or +/-12v
* PCB Mounting for Alpha, Bourns, TT, or Vishay/Spectrol pots
* Ability to use 2 Single or 1 Dual Vactrol (see below)

This is a third cousin PCB that is a derivative of the famous Buchla 292c Lopass Gate. Don Buchla himself gave approval to this endeavor for us all to learn a bit more about analog synthesizer module design, and for this we owe him a debt of gratitude as a true scholar and gentleman."
