Radikal Technologies Spectralis 2 - Demo Song #2


YouTube via bigcitymusic. http://bigcitymusic.com
"First of all, youtube audio will not do this amazing machine justice. This is by far one of the best sounding all in one packages ever conceived. Here's a cool demo song from the new Spectralis 2 utilizing samples, analog synths and a killer filterbank. Available now! More videos coming soon. Thanks for watching."

Flight of Harmony: Choices + Plague Bearers


YouTube via thedeepelement
"I've been meaning to make a quick video of the Choices and Plague Bearer modules together for some time because they're quite a dangerous combo. The patch is a bit complicated but essentially both the X and the Y axis outputs are going into mults, those mults are plugged into the Plague Bearers along with a Tip Top Audio Z2040 Cutoff. The audio sources are coming from Tip Top Audio Z3000's FMing each other. I used a combination of the room and line audio so a fan is audible.

Metasonix: rack your KV-100 Assblaster!

flickr by Analogue Haven

"The Metasonix KV-100 Assblaster is an awesome machine for sound generation and signal processing. It comes from the manufacturer built into a "tacklebox" for tabletop use. Some modular customers have asked us about rackmounting them next to their racked modulars. It is definitely possible, but instead of offering a kit Metasonix have posted straightforward instructions about rackmounting it on their website. LINK: metasonix.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&... (see "Rackmounting your KV100")."

Sherman / Rodec: Restyler

"This is the Restyler, a collaboration between Sherman and Rodec. Actually shown here are two Restylers, mounted in a rack, ready for some filter action. These should be available sometime in the next couple of months- we already have one of the first production units and it sounds great."

ElbyDesigns: ED109 TGTSH

flickr by Analogue Haven

"The Elby Designs ED109 TGTSH is now in-stock. This module is the second collaboration between Laurie Biddulph of Elby Designs and Ian Fritz ( home.comcast.net/~ijfritz/index.htm ). The first collaboration was with the popular ChaQuO ( www.analoguehaven.com/elbydesigns/chaquo/ ).

The TGTSH combines two important synthesizer functions. It produces trigger and gate signals whenever a "timing" signal input crosses a user-defined threshold. At the same time, the trigger pulse fires a high-performance sample-and-hold circuit that samples a second "main" signal input. The module is only 10 HP in size and requires very little power to operate. LINK: www.analoguehaven.com/elbydesigns/ed109/."

"Some Minimoogs + Sample & Hold controller,EMS VCS-3 and a ARP 2500 hangin' around.
Having a chat on who will do the bassline in the next track.And who will do the weird stuff."

"Broadwave" Modular Synthesizer

via this auction
Note this is not an ARP 2600 clone.
"This synth is almost entirely made from Ray Wilson's designs and his high quality PCB's (www.musicfromouterspace.com). It's a completely home made affair, and as such I would prefer bidders to be familiar with Synth DIY techniques, as calibration and trouble shooting is not for the feint of heart : )

No keyboard is supplied, and as such you will need either a MIDI to CV converter or Keyboard capable of delivering the standard 1v/Oct, Gate and Trigger.

The case is made from 12mm, black Tolex covered MDF (unfortunately the Tolex on the back panel has started to lift, so will need to be re-glued), with protected corners and carrying handle. All the panels are made from 2mm aluminium with dye sublimated graphics directly onto a 0.5mm aluminium substrate. As you can see from the pics, the panels are mounted quite crudely onto the MDF frame and would benefit from someone who's prepared to spend a bit of TLC on it. All circuit schematics and calibration info is included.

The measurements are: 215mm (D) x 840mm (W) x 490 (H) and weighs 16 kilos

As it stands, all modules are fully working and consists of the following:

4 x VCO - 3 x CV Mod inputs, 1 x Linear FM input, 2 x PWM CV inputs, Sync in/out, Saw, Square, Triangle, Sine outs

1 x 24dB Low Pass VCF - 4 x Signal inputs, 2 x CV Mod inputs, 1 x Resonance CV Mod input, VCF out

1 x 12dB State Variable VCF - As above but with Low, Band and High Pass outputs

2 x VCA - Signal in, 2 x CV Mod inputs, Log/Lin select, VCA out

3 x ADSR - Gate in, Trigger in, Short/Long Time switch, Gate indicator, ADSR out

2 x Voltage Controlled LFO - 2 x CV Mod in, 1 x PWM CV Mod in, Saw, Square, Ramp, Triangle outs

1 x Noise Module - White, High Pass, Low and Grainy out, Random Trigger out

1 x Sample & Hold with Lag - Sample in, CV for Clock Rate, Trigger out, Sync in, CV Out

2 x Ring Mod - 1 x AC Coupled, 1 x DC Coupled

4 Channel AC/DC Mixer/Inverter - Each channel has 3 inputs, Inverted output available

2 x Lag Processor

4 x Buffers (1 in 4 out)

4 x Passive Multiples (4 groups of 5, normalised for 2 groups of 10)

8 x Passive Multiples

1 x +/- 15 volt, 1A PSU - Internally mounted (From a Crumar Stratus, but does the job admirably!)

20 Patch leads to get you going!

One Module is incomplete, which was made for MIDI to CV. The panel and sockets are in place, but no electronics are supplied." See the Broadwave label below for more.

LL Electronics Oddulator and Rozzbox No More

Translated from Rozzbox.de:
"28.7.2009 Since I now dedicate other areas of need, the Oddulator unfortunately no longer published. I hereby apologize to all interested parties.
From now on, I'll have to put all my energy on a different task field, resulting in that the Oddulator won't be released. I'm sorry for all potential customers.

7.7.2009 7.7.2009 Rozzbox One V2 Synthesizers. Due to very low demand, profitability, and barely existing private reasons, the production of Rozzbox One V2 synthesizer immediately terminated. Good bye, RozzBox! I will send all customers a V2 love greeting!
Due to very too low order quantity, and because of other, more private reasons, the RozzBox One V2 Synthesizer is discontinued. Sorry, and many greetings to all of my customers!" via Roland4387

Note this was translated from German to English by Google translator so I'm sure much of the translations is distorted.
