"This video has a little bit of everything... lol It features a quick look behind the scenes at the Moog Factory in Asheville, NC. We have a little history of the Theremin, and a peek of one being made in the factory... all the while PRIMUS jamming in the Moog Sound Lab. There is even a rare little jam with Les Claypool on electric drums and Jay Lane playing "Who's got the funk" on Les's acoustic bass! As I said... this video has everything! :)
The great folks at Moog Music were AMAZING! Asheville was AMAZING! Primus was AMAZING! Les Claypool is ALWAYS AMAZING (he even took a minute to pose for a picture goo.gl/pSisp )!
Thanks everyone... What an overall AMAZING time! :)"
"This is the Ruin Electronics CDS-2 (Compact Drone Synth). This is a one of a kind instrument. It was professionally built and designed by Ruin. The unit has been built into a vintage transistor radio case. Faux wood grain, chrome, and brushed aluminum give it a classy retro look. The CDS-2 is new; no previous owners.
The CDS-2 is a 100% Analog synthesizer in a sturdy case with a fashionable carrying handle. The CDS-2 is a two voice drone synthesizer with CV inputs for pitch and filter frequency. The CDS-2 is not only a Drone and noise Synthesizer, but a sound effects generator. The CDS-2 is excellent for use with sequencers and other modular gear. The filters sound very vocal and organic when in bandpass mode and nice and chunky in lowpass. Paired with the thick oscillators, some strange alien vocalizations can be made. The CDS-2 offers a wide range of sounds with its excellent compliment of functions. There is no other drone/noise/experimental synth out there like this, especially in such a compact package! Despite being small, there is still plenty of room to use the controls so no play-ability is sacrificed.
Space sounds, crackles, hums, percussion, alien speech, warbles, zaps, clangs, bangs, basslines, sequencer runs, rhythms. This is a great unit for performance, sampling, or just plain old fun!
The units approximate measurements are:
7.5" width x 3" depth x 5.5" height
The unit features:
2x Square/Triangle waveform VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) with individual tuning per oscillator. The oscillators go from subsonic to ultrasonic with a twist of the control.
2x Triangle/Square waveform LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) for modulation. The LFOs can be routed to either the VCF or VCO. Each LFO has a Depth and Speed control and a switch to select either VCF or VCO modulation.
Bandpass/Lowpass VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter). The filter is extremely resonant and will self oscillate when in bandpass mode. The VCFs have a Frequency and Resonance control and a switch for Lowpass/Bandpass response.
2 Channel Mixer Each voice has its own level control which is fed to the final output stage.
CV inputs for VCF and VCO control Both voices share the same VCF and VCO CV inputs so you can easily sequence both voices of the CDS-2 with the same cv. This allows for great layred sequenced sounds.
Output Overdrive The output stage is capable of nice gritty distortion with its own gain control.
1/4" Output
9V battery or DC adapter. With a choice of either 9V battery or external DC adapter the unit can be a portable unit for busking or impromptu outside jam sessions (when accompanied by a portable amplifier such as This ) or a studio piece. Featuring an on board regulator the unit will clean up any power source from 9-15V"
"The built in true analog filter sounds great. You get a ton of control with touch, breath, bite & sliders. I mostly use the touch pad patched into CV inputs on my Korg MS10. The slides move & work like new. You can run any instrument thru its nice filter. I have used the breath out to VCO to control pitch while bite to filter, worked fine but I hardly ever had the tubes hooked to it. Original manual & tubes included, the plastic is still on the data plate..."

"SAN FRANCISCO – Subatomic Software has announced the release of Audulus 1.6 for Mac, an update which improves the loading of patches made with Audulus 1.6 for iPad.
Audulus 1.6. for Mac also adds support for the Mac Book Pro with Retina Display.
'Enhancing the round-trip workflow between the Mac and iPad versions of Audulus is important to our users, many of whom are sharing their patches with us on our website's forum,' says developer W. Taylor Holliday. 'Users can, for example, begin a patch on iPad, load it with the Mac and Plug-in versions, and move it back to iPad for patching on the go.'
In addition to syncing up Mac and iPad versions, Audulus 1.6 for Mac improves general graphics performance. 'The graphics optimizations we did for the iPad version also improved the Mac version of Audulus,' says Holliday.
Audulus is a minimalist modular software synthesizer and effects processor. With Audulus, users can build synthesizers, design new sounds, or process audio. All with low latency real-time processing suitable for live performance.
The Audulus user interface was inspired by analog guitar pedals: sounds are created or altered by connecting processing nodes. There are no hidden controls, no complex menus. The user begins with a blank canvas, rather than with daunting controls, and can build up to the desired level of sonic complexity.
Audulus for Mac key features:
Audio Unit hosting - use your favorite plugins
fluid interface - smooth animated interaction
MIDI control - use your control surface or MIDI keyboard
presets - quickly change between settings
unlimited history - everything you do is stored
polyphony - process multiple voices
encapsulation - group nodes into sub-patches
diverse nodes - from ADSR to ZeroCross
audio unit version - run Audulus as an Audio Unit inside other apps (free download)
Audulus is available on the Mac App Store for $39.99, and on the iPad App Store for $19.99. For more information, visit audulus.com."
