Transcendent 2000 Vintage Modified Analogue Synthesizer

via this auction

"A rather nice piece of synthesizer history from the now defunkt Manufacturer powertran. An english company selling many electronic devices as kits. Most of these designs were posted in the ETI electronics magazines as complete projects. The synth could be purchased ready made or in kit form. The kits were complete right down to the last nut and bolt (including the wood case). The synth was designed by tim orr, an ex synth designer at EMS. The Synth circuits were designed on a single circuitboard, all discreet components. The synth is highly bendable, if you so desire!. This unit has had several modifications, one of which should be apparent in the photo's. The keybed has been shortened slightly to accommodate a pitch and modulation wheel. The modulation wheel controls the LFO rate. Synth has an indicator light giving a visual indication of LFO frequency. The pitch wheel performance is good (but not fantastic). 2000s original pitchbend control was mounted on top of the synth... terrible place to put a pitch bend!!. Now it's more hands on and in easy reach. This is certainly a great synth for those classic analogue squelchy bass lines and effects. The filter has switchable Band Pass and Low Pass settings, comes close to moogs ladder designs for warmth and response. Very rare in this sort of condition and has become a desirable collectable piece of history that has true analogue circuits, nothing virtual......looks great too!"

"I was putting together some material for an acid track, when my iPad, running the sequencer, ran out of batteries.
My Curetronic Modular had not received any note-off via the CV/Gate Interface, obviously.
I droned the sound a bit, using some patching and a dark time sequencer. Played some stuff on my Juno 106 on top of it and added a vocalsample during mixing process.
It was late evening, one off those studio accents that happen sometimes.
Recorded on a ZoomR16, mixed the audio files bit in Reaper."

Jomox Resonator Neuronium Video Demo

Published on Feb 3, 2013 d4nnyp·14 videos

"JoMox Resonator Neuronium. I recently got hold of this RN, I'd been after one for a long time. The RN is a lot of fun to play, its also great fun to program and let it run on changing its patterns using "Stimulus Recombination" (The manual reads more like a science lecture!). I could literally listen to it for hours. I'll most likely be doing a few videos with this once I have some more time on it, its such a fantastic and rare piece of gear.
The video is all RN, sequenced by itself. Audio from RN stereo pair with a bit of reverb. I think it just sounds superb, its hard to appreciate listening through youtube (and its recorded into a crappy camera audio input) but standing in front of the speakers it sounds massive."

Jovian Synth Bit Beast Synthesizer

Published on Feb 2, 2013 Jovian Synth·1 video

"The Bit Beast is not currently in production. The estimated cost is about $500-$600. Please send us an email if you would like to be notified when more information and availability is known - info@joviansynth.com

For more info visit http://www.joviansynth.com/bit-beast.php

The Bit Beast uses the same chip as an Arduino to generate notes that are then chopped up and filtered by CMOS circuitry. The sound then passes through two analog voltage controlled filters. Both filters are unique designs that offer very different sounds. Filter 1 is a 12db state variable filter with low-pass and band-pass modes and overdrive control. Filter 2 is a 6db filter with low-pass and high-pass modes and a squelchy distorted resonance. The filters can be configured in parallel or two different serial configurations. Both filters have their own LFO and envelope generator."

Update: Specs / Features captured for the archives:

Oscillators
Programmable with Arduino UNO developement board
3 digital squarewave oscillators that play either a chord or the same detuned note (detune amount is controlled with a pot)
Chord selection can be Major or Minor and is controlled with either a swtich or using MIDI CC
Eight step wave shaper for creating custom 8-bit style waveforms
Two sub oscillators (-1 ocatave and -2 octave) each with a dedicated low-pass filter
An oscillator that is +1 octave
Responds to MIDI pitch bend and modulation controls
Vibrato with rate, depth and delay controls
Portamento
Level pots for each oscillator, plus a master oscillator level control

Oscillators
Chord arpeggio that makes it easy to create chiptune chords
Internal clock or MIDI sync
Up or down direction
Separate level pots for each step of the chord
Can be combined with with the steady sound from any of the oscillators

Mattson Mini Modular On the Air

via Craig Padilla on Facebook:

"A couple years ago on the day after Thanksgiving, I recorded a piece of music created entirely on The Mattson Mini Modular Synthesizer with the assistance of master synth creator George C Mattson and his brother Gregg Mattson. The song, 'Black Friday', makes its radio airplay debut tomorrow on Bruce Gall's Sunday Synth program at http://www.arfm.co.uk/ . Check it out; it's a trippy tune."

The show runs 3-6PM Scotland time, so 7AM -10AM PST, 10AM - 1PM EST if you want to catch it.

Matt Traum - "James"

Published on Feb 2, 2013 PatchmanMusic·9 videos

"Matt Traum improvisation on Pat Metheny's classic "James".

I am playing the Steinerphone EWI on this. I thought I would play a little improvised version of Metheny's "James" harmonized ala Michael Brecker. This is a one-pass recording with no overdubs. The harmonizer is an Eventide Eclipse with a custom patch designed by myself being controlled in real time via foot switches.

I am playing what I call a "Hyper-EVI Steinerphone". It's the exact same model Steinerphone EWI Michael Brecker played for many years in the mid to late 1980s with Steps Ahead and on various studio sessions. This model was the first EWI that Brecker played and he took the instrument to amazing heights. This horn was hand made by the great wind controller inventor Nyle Steiner. It is an EWI (woodwind type controller)- but I have modified it internally so it fingers like an EVI (brass type controller). The horn plays incredibly well- it's the Stradivarius of wind controllers. It is hooked up to a companion synth system also designed by Steiner. In this system are two Crumar EVI synth modules and a Steiner "wood and glue" formant filter unit (which is not used in this video). Only one Crumar module is heard in this video fed into the Eventide Eclipse processor.

A little trivia on this system you see in this video: This is the actual synth unit that Doug Norwine played on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson with Melissa Manchester when she performed "La Vie En Rose" (you should be able to watch it on youtube).

Modulator Systems MS202 Voltage Attenuator / Foot Controller for Doepfer A100 Demo

video upload by ModulatorSystems

Published on Feb 2, 2013 ModulatorSystems·2 videos

www.modulatorsystems.wix.com/index
modulatorsystems@gmail.com

"The MS202 is a fabric-covered soft touch voltage attenuating pad which can be patched into any voltage source and destination on the Doepfer A100 and similar analog modular systems and synthesizers. The uses are only limited by your imagination but it can for example vary vibrato or filter modulation depth, allow through white noise in drum sounds, add random modulation to notes, allow extra sequencer notes to be triggered, and much more.

The MS202 can also be hit with drum sticks to vary drum synth sounds - though it only outputs a voltage, not a trigger or gate - and works with even greater range as a foot controller, finding use as a wah-wah, volume controller and much more. You can also cover the MS202 with any flexible surface and use it as a hidden variable voltage source.

Price is £39.00 with £5.00 UK shipping or free collection in London, worldwide shipping costs on request. Payment: cash, UK cheque or postal order, bank transfer. No PayPal."

Using Launchpad to Plug Patch Cables Into U-he ACE

Published on Feb 2, 2013 Mark Mosher·54 videos

"U-HE Ace allows you to use MIDI CCs to control the source and destination of patch cables. This is my first experiment to use a Launchpad as a patch cable matrix. I have a cable plugged into the Filter Gain. By pressing buttons on the Launchpad, I'm essentially plugging cables into input sockets without touching the computer. I'm using the QWERTY to trigger notes but not move cables.
