Sound of Science: "Hydrodome" teaser video! (feat. John Von Ahlen of Parralox)
Published on Feb 24, 2013
Quick note: as you know, I normally do not post music on MATRIXSYNTH for the sake of music. All posts are ultimately about synth spotting and synth demos. I do make the exception for manufacturers as they give you some insight into the music they make. Tom Carpenter is the man behind Analogue Solutions and Medic. He along with Jason aka Rezfilter who brought us some great demo videos for Analogue Solutions is working on a new release under their moniker Sound of Science.
"Here's a teaser video for our upcoming single, 'Hydrodome' by Sound of Science.
Single and remixes coming soon!

The Roland Expander 102 is the LFO driven sound that does a pitch dive in the track. MIDI to CV handles the MIDI to CV.

Marsynth Modular 12-15-12
Published on Feb 24, 2013
"This is the second to last patch of 2012 on the modular (that I almost forgot about...). This was my first go at finally doing a video of the modular with a proper audio recording.
There are essentially two main 'parts' in this patch that are distinctly different in sound but share some interconnected modulation sources. It was fun playing with the balance of the two.
Some empress super delay and ehx catherdral were added to open it up a little.
Thanks for watching!

via this auction
"This is a Roland SH-101 that has three of the NOVA mods installed. Audio input to the filter, three LFO speed settings, and the FM mod.
Taken from the NOVA MOD page:
-LFO Rate Scalar
A three-way toggle switch scales the overall range of the SH-101’s internal LFO Clk (the existing LFO rate slider still
functions normally). The scalar settings are Normal/Low/High.
In the Low setting, a cycle of 30 seconds can be attained. This is great for mild changes in “trance” type music.
In the High mode, up to 1200Hz can be used to create interesting cross-mod bell like sounds. Perfect for “industrial”
music and clanging metallic sounds. High mode works especially well when creating a synthetic kick drum patch or
short-wave radio sounds a la Kraftwerk’s Electric Cafe and Radioactivity albums respectively.
External Audio Input
A 1/4” jack and toggle switch allows external audio to be injected. A rotary pot controls the amplitude of the injected
signal. It can be routed directly into the filter along with the OSC’s waveforms. External processing of audio through the VCF and ENV is
a typical feature on some synths however a separate trigger can be applied to fire the SH-101’s envelope.
VCF FM
VCF FM is the most powerful NOVA-MOD feature. It can be used in moderation to simply add brightness to a bass
patch with low frequencies (due to subtractive synthesis). Or it can be used to create powerful cross-mod sounds that
are difficult to explain...they must be heard. These sounds are somewhat aggressive, distorted, bell like but most
importantly, not attainable on a regular SH-101. These sounds are similar to those heard on a MiniMoog with its third
LFO assigned.
One example: Dial a patch with only a ramp waveform assigned but at the same time, modulate the VCF Cutoff with
the Pulsewidth. Manually change the pulsewidth to vary the FM effect. It is quite unique. You can then switch in Sub
Osc -2 Oct. Pulse as the FM source then adjust the -1oct/-2oct/-2oct switch to change the sound further. Finally swing
the Pulsewidth waveform as the FM source but switch from Manual to LFO modulation and then play with the PW
Mod’s waveform.
The synth's power button has been replaced as it had the dreaded tuning drift problem, which FIXED all the stability issues. Works like a charm, sounds AMAZING as usual..."

"The Flame Clockwork is a versatile clock and tempo generator. It's designed to generate clock/trigger/gate signals for clocking units with tap and clock inputs, to fire envelopes or to control sequencers and sample&holds. The clock can also be shuffled and shifted before/after the master clock!
Additionally it can send MIDI clock and a fixed MIDI note per channel. Some controls transmit MIDI control data and there's also a simple MIDI/CV interface.
specifications:
analog clock + cv-outputs

Cyndustries Zeroscillator - Eurorack / Doepfer Synth Module
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"About the Zeroscillator:
Dr. John Chowning first described FM Synthesis technique in 1967. Since that time, no analog quadrature oscillator with through-zero capability and dynamic linear FM control has been commercially available... until now!
Cyndustries is proud to announce a major breakthrough in analog VCO design, the amazing Zeroscillator.
Liquid Smooth Analog Design
The Zeroscillator is a full-featured electronic-music-quality analog VCO capable of linear frequency modulation through zero hertz and into negative frequencies. This makes it capable of the FM Synthesis stuff, wild and crazy sounds simply not available from traditional VCOs, and timbres not available from digital FM synthesizers. Of course, Zeroscillators also make insane LFOs!
Traditional FM Synthesis oscillator implementations, such as the DX-7, are sine wave only. The Zeroscillator also makes available sawtooth, reverse saw, triangle, pulse (with PWM), and a special set of four quadrature outputs capable of unique bi-phase wave morphing, (more on that later).
Look Ma'... No Aliasing!
BRKWe9vU7g~~60_57.JPG)
FM sounds take on their vibrant life when the amount of modulation is varied dynamically. In the analog world, this requires a special VCA to regulate the depth of frequency modulation, (often called the "modulation index"). Since this is required almost universally for Linear FM patches, the Zeroscillator has this VCA built-in. We decided however, to take this feature one extra step beyond and provide you with a four-quadrant multiplier instead of a traditional two-quadrant VCA to expand your modulation possibilities into the unexplored. The output of this multiplier is available at the panel, so you get a free ring-mod function and an interesting pick-off point for self-modulation patches called Mod Out.
In addition to it's precision 10-turn tuning knob, the Zeroscillator has 1V/octave plus attenuated exponential inputs and can behave just like the VCOs you're used to. You are not forced into any specific modality and are free to use all or any subset of its 7 different modulations:
1-Exponential FM
2-Linear Through-Zero FM
3-Linear FM Dynamic Depth Modulation
4-Bi-Phasic Waveform Morphing in Quadrature
5-Pulse Width Modulation
6-Variable Sync (from none to hard synch)
7-Time Reversal
