GH2: Vintage Synth Series Announcement

GH2: Vintage Synth Series Announcement from Ralph Baumgartl on Vimeo.

follow-up to this post "The keyboard footage was shot in 720- 50p and the interview was shot in 1080-50i with the 14-140mm lens. Maybe I am just imagining this, but I think the AF seems to be working slightly better in 1080-50i than 24p.

The video is an announcement of our upcoming Vintage Synthesizer Series. It is a collaboration between Michael Junck of klangkombinat.de and myself, Ralph Baumgartl of baumgartl.de
We will be comparing the original analogue Synths to their software equivalents."

The Oakley Deep Equinoxe: Voltage Controlled Eight Stage Phaser Module

via Oakley Sound where you'll find the full details. The following is just an excerpt.

"This is an upgrade of our four stage OTA based phaser design, the Oakley Equinox. The original was wonderfully lush and smooth and similar in sound to the phaser used by Jean Michel Jarre on the Oxygene and Equinoxe albums. The Deep Equinoxe goes further. An additional two or four stages can be added deepening the effect creating a very rich and animated sound.

The unit includes a useful internal low frequency oscillator with accompanying bicolour LED. The centre frequency of the phase shifter can also be controlled by an external control voltage. Thus allowing envelope generators to be used to sweep the phaser to create filter type effects. Four front panel pots and two switches control the module:

Frequency: This pot controls the frequency of the two notches created by the phase shift network.

Emphasis: This pot accentuates the feedback signal within the phaser to create a deeper effect.

Mod Depth: A simple attenuator to adjust the level of the internal LFO or incoming CV.

LFO rate: This pot adjusts the speed of the LFO.

Norm/Deep: This two way toggle switch selects between the classic four stage Oakley Equinoxe mode and the Deep modes.

Six/Eight: This two way toggle switch selects between six stage or eight stage phasing when in Deep mode."

The Oakley Diode Superladder Variable Slope VCF

via Oakley Sound where you'll find full details. The following is just an excerpt.


"The Oakley Diode Superladder is the new version of our long running Superladder filter design. This new version has been especially created to use diodes as the control element instead of transistors. Earlier versions of the Superladder could be built either as transistor or diode ladders but in 2007 a choice was made to concentrate on the transistor version only. The Superladder was therefore optimised to sound good with transistors only...


The Diode Superladder VCF features both voltage control over frequency and resonance. Unique to any diode ladder filter is has a variable shape output. This incorporates a feature first seen on the Oakley Orbital prototypes. A single pot allows you to vary the output from one (or two) pole low pass to four (or five) pole low pass via band pass in the middle."

Maxtone HB - free Ableton Live Pack of a calculator piano

You can find it on Hainbach

"I bought this tiny but horrifying instrument at a flea market in Hamburg in 2001 for 5 Deutsche Mark. It accompanied me on many a summer field trip, much to the horror of my fellow travelers. It simply sounds weird, as the pitch slides from a very short correct tuning time into something far in between. I amended that a bit by introducing attack and sustain settings in the live pack..."

Yamaha TF1 single module

via this auction

"Here is a single TF1 module, intended to be installed into a TX816 (or TX216) rack which can hold up to eight of these... Obviously, this module does nothing on its own and requires that you have a Yamaha TX816 or TX216 synth with at least one empty module slot, and that you know how to use the synth."
