20 Mins of Metasonix S2000!

20 Mins of Metasonix S2000! from Equinoxoz music solutions on Vimeo.

"It was a warm and sunny afternoon when the post master handed over a box containing some of the most elegant and interesting synthesizers I have encountered.
Gleefully hotfooting it back to the lab I knew I would be in for a treat with this most recent and advanced creation from Eric Barbour the new S2000, this synth is absolutely incredible, able to produce tones I have not personally ever encountered on other equipment in the same way (and not surprisingly its the first time this has been done).

The S2000 explores both subtractive and FM territory with its modulation routing and the onboard controls offer intuitive access to valuable parameters you can use to shape the sound.

The Ribbon controller installed is an excellent idea, part of the "problems" with the Metasonix VCO design (ala the R54 in this case) is the tuning is a sort of non linear Hz/V and it can be tricky to get them to track, the ribbon controller omits this completely and does away with the limits of Black and White keys offering you expressive capability so you can "feel out" the notes.

The machine really does sing, its different to anything else I have tried and in just this short 20 mins I was already loving what it can do so its definitely something that I will explore more deeply.

Like all Metasonix gear the S2000 will take some getting used to but I will say that its one of the more well behaved brain children of the Tube Master Eric!"

Return of messing around with Klee Sequencer

Published on May 1, 2013 Brandon Smith·11 videos

"Nothing serious musically, just a little of this klee sequencer diy'd behind the Panel and daughterboard that NV from muffs came up with, got all the parts in the mail over the weekend from him, synthcube, and electro music, and had a painless build for the most part, (a little tweaking here and there needed, nothing major, had a funky rotary switch that threw me for a loop for a second there and some cable assemplies that needed to be battoned down mo' better) especially compared to how hard it would have been wiring without the daughter board."

Waveform Animator module - Eurorack modular synthesizer format

Published on May 1, 2013 RuprechtM·47 videos

"Waveform Animator - 8x LFO + 8x phase shifter in Eurorack (Doepfer) format.

From one simple input waveform makes 8 "phase shifted" waves.
Sounds like 8 oscillators from one input only."

RuprechM brought us all the Coron & Synare DIY drum clones. Looks like he's branching out to eurorack. I added a RuprechtM label them.

Bob Moog Officially Inducted Into the Inventors Hall of Fame

You might remember the announcement posted back on March 28 here and the video from Bob Moog's children and The Bob Moog Foundation posted earlier here today.   Well, today marks the day he will be officially inducted.  Take a break and reflect a little on the significance of this day in synth history.

The following went up on Moog Music Inc. on Facebook yesterday (today as I type this):

"Tomorrow Bob Moog will be officially inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame for Patent No. 3,475,623 - commonly know as the Moog Ladder Filter. We will be celebrating this great honor throughout today and tomorrow. More soon..."
