"multimode filters its own distinctive sound structure. Moreover, the MICRO MINIATURE with its many patch points well equipped to be controlled by the flexible step sequencer URZWERG to be and interact with the multifunctional MEGAZWERG.

In single mode, the MICRO MINIATURE produce with its dual-oscillator and the dual multimode filters not only typical analog bass and lead sounds, but also for a monophonic synthesizer sounds unusual. With fast connections created a patch can be transformed and signal modulations in order to reproduce the sound potential of the MICRO DWARF.

In conjunction with the other synths of DWARF-family or a modular system to grow the capabilities of the MICRO MINIATURE further.

Here is an overview of the areas of the MICRO DWARF:

The two oscillators include the four waveforms triangle, sawtooth, square and spike. VCO 2 instead of the spike has a noise generator. VCO 2 can be tuned an octave plus minus compared to VCO 1. A patch compound, the oscillators sync with each other. In addition, the signal can be picked separately from VCO 2 are used to filter modulation. A ring modulation is combined with the MEGAZWERG possible from which the RM signal can be fed back into the MICRO DWARF.

The two 12-dB variable-state, multi-mode filters have the mode low pass, band pass and high pass and notch (band-stop). The filters are serially connected, resulting in the same mode, a larger edge steepness. This value is variable, as the two cutoff frequencies can be moved via the Space controls against each other. With the combination of low-and high-pass results in a bandpass filter with variable width and separately controllable resonance. A patch connection, a parallel connection of the filter is possible. Then two offset bandpasses, a notch filter with a variable width, or a low-or high-pass filter can be realized with projecting bandpass. The response can be controlled for both filters to self-oscillation. The cutoff frequencies are controlled or jointly controlled by envelope. You can also move through the Space controls against each other. The modulation via LFO or the Mod input either affects filter 1 or both filters together.

Key Follow for a pitch-dependent opening of the filter can be produced by a simple patch connecting the key to CV Contour Mod or input.

Since both filters have separate inputs and outputs, the MICRO MINIATURE be used as a versatile dual-filter box for external audio signals.

The ADSR envelope is internally connected to the cutoff frequency of the filter. If a second ADSR envelope required, it can be from MEGAZWERG or a modular system patched to the MICRO DWARF.

The LFOs have four waveforms and a one-shot function. The selected waveform goes through after the gate pulse of the incoming note only one cycle and thus can be considered a simple envelope, about the pitch or the VCA can be used. LFO 2 has also a sample & hold mode.

There are connections to the internal modulation LFO to cutoff frequency, and the pitch of the oscillators or pulse width of the second VCO The speed of LFO 2 can be modulated over a CV input. Even so, the frequency of LFO 2 increase by a factor of 30 and reduce, so hereby extremely fast or slow modulations are possible.

The control signals of the envelope and the LFO can also be output and therefore can control functions of other analog synthesizers and modular systems.

The signaling pathway VCOs-VCF1/VCF2-VCA and conventional modulations are pre-wired internally. The MICRO MINIATURE thus can be played directly. All other connections are made using the patch sockets and can be operated on MICRO MINIATURE itself and from external devices are controlled or used.

About the MIDI input can be driven to the MICRO DWARF with a Keyboard or a DAW. In addition to the note data, data from the pitch wheel (+ / - 2 semitones) processes and the modulation wheel to control the cutoff frequency.

The MICRO DWARF has the dimensions 190 x 150 mm x 50.

Power is supplied via the included AC adapter."

Pinball Pianola Synth


Pinball Pianola from Lucas Abela on Vimeo.

From the makers of The Vinyl Rally

 Description from vimeo: "I’ve devised a Frankenstein experiment, combining the greatest musical invention of all time, the Piano; with the coolest amusement machines ever conceived; Pinball, to create an interactive sound installation like no other; ‘Pinball Pianola’, a musical device constructed by replacing the keyboard, hammers and front paneling of an upright piano, with a pinball cabinet butted up perpendicular against its exposed strings. Embracing high and low culture this instrument allows virtuosos and wizards alike to pit their skills in a game where musical compositions are created as metallic balls jettisoned into the game clash with the pianos resonating wires. This experiment the first of in a series of individually crafted instruments I’m constructing at Artspace as part of my Australia Council music board project fellowship that introduce musical elements into the iconic game of pinball, making sound generation - not scoring - the game's main objective." http://dualplover.com/pinball/  This one in via Nath Null Object.


Foundations of Synthesis Series by The Bob Moog Foundation

Published on Feb 11, 2013 moogfoundation·82 videos

Featuring Marc Doty, aka AutomaticGainsay

http://moogfoundation.org

Playlist:

1. The Synthesis of Synthesis - "This is the introductory video for the Bob Moog Foundation/macProVideo series "The Foundation of Synthesis." In it, Marc Doty sets the stage for the intent of these videos, which is an integrative instruction which not only describes synthesizer function and operation, but also gives a historical foundation for the functionalities and their implementation."

2. The Synthesis of Synthesis- Sound - "No instruction in synthesis would be complete without some explanation of the physics of sound! This video is one of several videos which outline the physical principles upon which synthesis is based."

3. The Synthesis of Synthesis- The Hammond Novachord - "The progression of devices which led to the modern synthesizer is diverse and interesting. The Foundation of Synthesis covers a number of them which portray a progressive development. One of these synthesizer precursors was the Hammond Novachord, a tube- based keyboard device whose groundbreaking technology is still present in some synthesizers today. More than most, this proto-synthesizer resembled what we came to think of as the modern synthesizer."

4. Foundation of Synthesis- Oscillator Introduction - "The Foundation of Synthesis dives into synthesizer technology with the Oscillator— the origin of sound in synthesis! Marc leads us through the history of this device from its beginning— as a lightbulb!— to its implementation in electronic musical instruments."

5. Oscillators- Pulse Width Modulation - "Pulse Width Modulation is a pleasing aural effect generated by the voltage-controlled adjustment of the width of a square wave. In this Foundation of Synthesis video, Marc demonstrates this function on several classic synthesizers. The video includes an oscilloscope, which shows you exactly what is happening when the width of the square wave output of the oscillator is changed!"

6. Filter- Introduction - "In this part of the 3rd Tutorial of the Foundation of Synthesis, Marc outlines the history of the filter from its origin in the telephone to its application in electronic devices in order to give a firm understanding of how the filter came to be an important part of modern synthesizers. The filter is a function which removes harmonics from a sound. Since harmonics define the timbre of the sound, this is a fast and easy way to create new timbres."

7. Filter- Cutoff Control - "Adjustment of the cutoff point of the filter is such a popular process that it has spawned whole genres of music. In this video, Marc shows the sound and functionality of this particular aspect of the most popular module in the modern synthesizer."

8. Filter-Voyager Serial Resonance - "The Moog Voyager design of Bob Moog includes some unique and useful functionalities. In this video, Marc explores the dual-filter nature of the Moog Voyager by demonstrating some unique ways to apply its filter arrangement."

9. Control Voltage Explanation Part 1 - "For the average musician, control voltage is an abstract concept. Of all the aspects of synthesis, it seems to be the most confusing. In this video, Marc gives a straight-forward and easy-to-understand description of the functionality using concrete examples. With a firm grasp of control voltage, synthesis becomes considerably easier and fun!"

10. Control Voltage Explanation Part 2 - "Here is part two of a video where Marc gives a straight-forward and easy-to-understand description of the process and application of control voltage. With a firm grasp of control voltage, synthesis becomes considerably easier and fun!"

11. The Amp Introduction - "In this video, Marc gives us a basic history of what can be the least-exciting module in the modern synthesizer, but then goes on to show what can be done when this module includes a fair amount of functionality. The Amp is the last step in the synthesis process, and can give you a variety of power over the timbre you create!"

12. The ARP Envelope Follower - "The Envelope Follower is one of the most fun control functions to exist. It takes the amplitude of a given signal and converts it to a voltage. As the amplitude rises, the control voltage rises. This can be used to control any function in the synthesizer which can be controlled via control voltage... which, in an analog synth, is most of them! In this video, Marc gives a demonstration of this under-implemented synthesizer function using the ARP 2600."

13. Designing Timbres- Introduction - "This video introduces the "Designing Timbres" tutorial by explaining exactly what is going to happen within it. It features some of the music and synthesizers used in the rest of the tutorial."

14. Designing Timbres: Major/Minor Chord - "'It doesn't play chords!' -This is the complaint most heard in regard to monophonic analog synthesizers... but wait... if you have three oscillators and some awesome functionality like the Moog Voyager, there is an answer to this complaint. In this video, Marc shows you how you can generate a sort of controllable polyphony using the monophonic Moog Voyager!"

15. Designing Timbres: Duality - "In this video, Marc demonstrates the the functional benefit of a synthesizer like the Yamaha CS-15, which is essentially two different synthesizers stacked together. By altering settings in each division, interesting timbres can be created."
