"Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) for MU format modular synthesizer.

This module is one of just a few dozen out there, made in small batches by boutique MU Modular manufacturer SSL. Based on the Ian Fritz design, this module provide two 10-step waveforms to be defined which may be selected from via voltage controlled mix knob or discreet output.

In low frequency mode it can even be used to generate rhythmic pulses.

Below is a copy/past of the SSL product page which describes this product in detail...

'Innovator and designer extraordinaire Ian Fritz has teamed up with Synthetic Sound Labs to bring you one of the most useful and flexible VCOs on the market - the SSL 1130 Double Deka VCO.

The Double Deka is a stable, wide range 1V/Octave VCO with incredible sonic versatility. Imagine "drawing" a 10 stage waveform using lighted front panel sliders. Now imagine two of these separate waveforms, each with a precisely stepped 6 octave range control that can also be externally voltage controlled. In addition, using a built in knob or external control voltage, you can cross-fade between the two waveforms. Add to this, two unique new types of sync, a funky digital ring modulator (DRM) type input, plus separate linear and exponential FM inputs, and you begin to see (and hear) the possibilities.

This unique VCO consists of an ultrasonic oscillator core followed by a parallel pair of waveform generators. Each waveform generator consists of a voltage controlled multi-octave divider, followed by circuitry to generate a 10-step waveform using a set of 10 slider potentiometers. Also included are a novel synchronization circuit with two different operating modes and a built-in "digital ring modulator" (DRM) for producing a wide variety of synchronized and anharmonic sounds. The oscillator core is highly stable (better than 20 ppm/K ) and features wide-range, accurate tracking (better than 0.05% over fifteen octaves). The variable waveform generator provides fine control over an enormous range of available timbres. The high frequency output of the "core" oscillator is provided for use in driving other frequency dividers.

"Stunning sounding and highly sought-after real analogue synth from the 1970's. The Korg 700s has dual oscillators with triangle, square and sawtooth waveforms, three ring modulators and the famous "traveller" high and low-pass filters. It also sports portamento, repeat-delay, auto-bend, vibrato, chorus and more."

Korg Poly800 and Casio CZ101 inspired weird tune

Published on Jun 2, 2013 noddyspuncture·44 videos

"Here's a weird tune... spent an afternoon on my much neglected Poly800 & CZ101 through some effects. Among the many ideas that surfaced this one was probably the weirdest...! They are cracking little keyboards though...;c)"

'Try A Little Tenderness' - on Korg Poly 800 and CZ101
Published on Jun 2, 2013

"Kneeling on the bed and trying to keep the synths from sliding away - and also my metal foot wouldn't let me kneel for long, hence all the movement... haha!. Never mind, here it is - my mother's favourite - "Try A Little Tenderness" - on Korg Poly800 & Casio CZ101"

MonotrOndes - Korg Monotron hacked into Ondes Martenot-style synthesizer


Published on May 31, 2013 ElectronicMelodist·1 video


"Hi!

I built this Ondes Martenot-style musical instrument. It's quite cheap to build. The sound generator is Korg Monotron. The most expensive part besides the Monotron was a multiturn 100k potentiometer. You can build your own. I will show more details soon in my blog electronicmelodist.blogspot.fi"

Studio Electronics Boomstar 3003 - The second 2 minutes



"Following on from my first noodle with the 3003 [posted here], I set about creating a track just using this lively little beast. I got sidetracked and added other stuff but here's just the 3003 parts with a few bars of (unfinished) track context at the end (inc Ableton Live Operator, Maschine and Waldorf Blofeld). The sections are either one, two or three 3003 layers with a touch of UAD EP34 delay on some elements."

"Waldorf Microwave 1, REV B, CEM 3387 filters, in excellent cosmetic condition, original Waldorf manual, needs servicing: it loads soundsets via sysex, midi works, all menu functions work, all buttons and controls work, but for some reason no sound comes out from audio outputs. If you are a fan of electronics repair, this is for you."
