Refresher on the specs:

"Spectralis 2 is the even more powerful successor of Radikals sophisticated Hybrid Synthesizer. With up to 2 GB sample memory and tons of new features Radikal raises the bar again for our competition. Never stop the sequencer engine again with our fully redesigned sequencer engine that allows for on the fly realtime sequencing, recording of MIDI controllers and overdubbing. Quick Sound Selection for every part - your most favorite sounds are just one fingertip away. Transpose your patterns and step sequences with the attached keyboard and control the Spectralis 2 parameters via MIDI from your computer. There is only one thing, we left untouched in our new design - the sound engine. Still the warmest and richest sound out there with the power of a modular synthesizer in a box.

The Hybrid Synth
The Spectralis 2 hybrid synth, fueled by the latest DSP- and true analog technology, delivers maximum tonal capabilities and leads you into a radical new world of sounds full of life and animation. The Spectralis 2’ oscillator section takes sound design to new extremes. The 4 oscillators offer continuously variable waveshapes plus time linearity modulation, FM, PM, oscillator synchronisation, bit reduction and independent pitch and volume envelopes. The self resonating filters, a 4 pole lowpass and a 2 pole multimode filter with LP, HP, BP and notch outputs, use two highly improved true analog circuit designs to overcome the restrictions of modelling based synths. The way players can interact with the destinc-tive user interface makes the Spectralis 2 hybrid synthesizer a killer live instrument with unbeatable richness and stunning flexibility. The synthesis engine takes advantage of a sophisticated step sequencing system - 32 independent parameter control lines with up to 192 steps let you explore an universe of previously unheard rhythmic effects and atmospheric textures. Punchy high resolution envelopes, are the cutting edge of todays synthesizer technology. They are the perfect weapon for the creation of floor pounding kicks, state of the art sequencer staccatos and numerous percussion effects.

"Brand new. Highest quality parts available - no compromises. Artfully hand wired in the 5U MOTM / MOOG Format.

scratches the surface of what the Klee is capable of

Modifications:

Custom LED Colors: This Klee been modified with Bi-Color LEDs so Stage LEDs 9-6 are green when the sequencer is in 2X8 mode. Blue LEDs on Random and Bus 2 Status. Yellow LEDs on Rate and Bus 1 Status. Green LED on Bus 3 Status. Red LED on Main Bus Status.
Logical CV Output Routing: Stage 1-8 CV Output on Output A (stock assembly routes it to Output B). Stage 9-16 CV Output on Output B (stock assembly routes it to Output A).

For those that don't know, the Klee is the most feature packed, crazy, beautifully insane sequencer out there. Every option is implemented in this layout. Once you get one the Klee in your rack, you'll wonder how you managed without it. It can function like any other 16 step sequencer out there, or it can function like it has a brain of it's own. Easily programmed with your own ideas, or flip the Random Switch and find out what "it" has in mind. An endless source of inspiration.

This is one BIG build. Save yourself the time, hassle, and inevitable troubleshooting by purchasing this Klee fully and professionally assembled by Free State FX.

The Klee, pronounced Clay, is a shift register based sequencer. What makes the Klee different from most sequencers is that more than one Stage/Step can be active at any given time. Most sequencers have one active Stage, the CV for that Stage is programmed via the pot, and the CV is then sent to the CV Out. With the Klee, one or more stages can be active at one time, the CV programmed by the active Stages is added together, and is then sent to the CV Out. This function just

I could not possibly list all the functions of the Klee here. More inormation about how to use the Klee can be found here:

Assimilative Epitrochoidal Sirens


YouTube Uploaded by JeffreyPlaide on Apr 9, 2012

"Assimilative Epitrochoidal Sirens is an original, experimental and entirely electronic musical composition. It has a very strange atmosphere associated with it resultant from the background atmospherics created by processed generated test tones that give the impression of "singing sirens". Experiments were made using the VS-1 Oscilloscope VST synthesizer. With three oscillators to work with, chord functions and a great regenerative delay feedback effect, the VS-1 is a great instrument to work with - it even has its own version of an oscilloscope display. The idea was to emulate the tape delay systems of the past whereby two open-reel tape recorders were used to create long delays. One tape recorder recorded a sound. The same sound was then fed to a secondary machine separated by a distance to the first, with the first machine recording the output from the second machine. The result is a delay feedback system creating repeating recorded loops of sounds - decaying away as desired, controlled by the musician. I used a similar approach, but with software, I increased the feedback level of the delay setting until the regenerative sequences almost reached unity. I then played some melody lines for a couple of minutes and recorded the result. Two versions were made - the first being the original experiment. The second was slowed to exactly 200%. By themselves, the sequences sounded too familiar as organ tones, so I ring-modulated both by pure sinewaves. The result was a glistening or shimmering ringing resonance that was quite pleasing. The ring-modulated versions of the sequences recorded from the VS-1 Oscilloscope synthesizer were mixed together, but something was missing. To create a kind of choral background conclusion, generated test tones created within Adobe Audition provided the solution. Modulated inverted sinewaves from rising frequency to falling frequency covering 30 seconds were generated. These were processed by a modulating chorus and multi-tracked four times - each track delayed or shifted by a certain amount. The stereo mix of all these created an eerie and strange falling alien choral pad that is quite unusual and intriguing to listen to. A low frequency extract was taken from this recording with a forwards and backwards sample joined to create a smooth loop. This provided the strange low-end pad throughout the work. A high-frequency extract (treated in the same way as the low-frequency extract) loop provided the higher chorus effect faded in towards the end of the composition. The result is an ethereal, ambient glistening and cascading work shimmering with ring-modulated arpeggios created from the delay feedback effect, and the strange choral effect created by just using inverted sinewaves treated with modulation, chorus, and then multi-tracked to create a further chorus effect. The visuals comprise electronic modulating textile weaves superimposed with mythological creatures and god-like figures to create an other-worldly or angelic representation to what the music may be implying."

Corsynth C102 VC LFO - Overview

Corsynth C102 Demo 1 : Overview

Corsynth is a company from the Northwest of Spain dedicated to manufacture modules for analogue modular synthesizers in Moog format ( MU )

The C102 VC LFO is a voltage controlled low frequency oscillator with five waveforms available simultaneously.

With three frequency ranges ( L, M, H ) the VC LFO can oscillate from 7 minutes per cycle up to 800 Hz. Using the FM MOD input this range can be extended from 12 minutes per cycle up to 1,3 KHz. With this wide frequency range, the LFO can be used to produce really slow and subtle modulations and audio frequency modulation (FM sounds).

Another important feature is that the oscillation frequency can be voltage controlled using the FM input. You can modulate the frequency with an envelope, other LFO , sequencer etc. Using the FM input, it's also possible to create new waveforms like hyperbolic sine wave, hyperbolic cosine wave and more. Just connect one of the VC-LFO outputs to its own FM input and turn up the FM level potentiometer.

Also the C102 VC LFO has a Sync / Reset input. Every time a trigger signal is detected, the LFO will restart the waveform to the beginning of its cycle.
