AMSynths Snowfall v Mirage Filters

Published on Oct 21, 2013

AM8071 SnowFall Filter
"This module is a traditional diode ladder low pass filter, similar to that in the EMS VCS3, Roland SH-3, System 100 and Practical Elctronics Minisonic 2. The filter has a 4-pole ladder with an 18dB like response, thanks to the unique characteristics of diodes..."

AM8328 The Mirage Filter
"This module is based around the CEM3328 4-pole Low Pass Filter chip that was released in 1984, as one of the last filter chips and with some great features. It has differential signal inputs, an accurate exponential scale over 14 octaves and voltage controlled resonance. It has a unqiue feature, the signal level is automatically increased as the resonance goes up, thereby avoiding the usual signal level dropping off as resonance comes in. The CEM3328 was late onto the analog stage, just before digital filters appeared, so it only made it into the BIT01 and Ensoniq Mirage (and a few drum machines). So this chip has never really seen action, and was never under analog pot control, just lonely digital paranmeter access! In the Mirage it was not even allowed to oscillate…..We just love giving it a new lease of life in a new analog module!"

MacBeth NEXUS Prototype Dual Analogue Joystick Test 1

Published on Oct 21, 2013 macbethsynthesizers·91 videos

"This video is a quick demo of the two joystick controllers that I've implemented on the NEXUS analogue synth controller section. One joystick controls Modulation (X-Axis) and Pitch (Y-Axis), the other joystick is controlling the Dual State Variable Filters Left Filter (X-Axis), Right Filter (Y-Axis) Hard to demo everything in a short space of time! The big full on sound eminated from the 4 Voltage Controlled Oscillators!"

Easel svs Play

"a brief experiment (albeit rough performance) using the Easel sequencer: Sequential Voltage Source (svs) to develop a variety of tones and patterns. . . it also shows the Dual Lo Pass Gate section being used as a mixer. for better audio: https://soundcloud.com/user7621213/ea..."

My worst organ! & the Ringo Rythm Machine

Published on Oct 21, 2013 organfairy·393 videos

"This can only be described as my worst organ.

But nonetheless there is funny story behind it: I bought it at a charity sale for 10dkr (approximatly 2US$) in 1997 and transported it home on my bicycle - some 15km. There were all kind of defects inside: The previous owner had unsuccesfully tried to build in a speaker output with a short circuit as the result. That had fried the amplifier and the amplifier had overloaded the power supply so it didn't work either. Most of the trimmers on the tone generator was cracked or broken off, and there was a broken trace in the circuit board of the rhythm unit.
But a couple of days later it all worked.

The song is called "Der er noget galt i Danmark" (Something is wrong in Denmark) and was a big hit for Danish singer John Mogensen in the early 1970's. The rhythm and melody is played on the Ringo. The other notes are from the Elgam Grand Gala."

This is the first Ringo post.

polimorph - analog generative synth sounds for Elektron Analog 4

"morphing between kits on the Analog Four synth.
The kits themselves had been created by interpolating factory preset sounds with this app.

The app interactively sculpts new sounds by interpolating user sounds, combining them into kits and sending them to the analog synthesizer at screen refresh rate (60 kits per second) via MIDI SysEx.

All sounds are based on sounds a user has created and sent to the app, so there is no randomness, but human intervention with the app is a guarantee for very unexpected recombinations.

The Analog Four plays its own sequence, with the app being controlled via MIDI CC - in the case of this video, the faders react to knob tweaks and LFOs from a Machinedrum's MIDI sequencer, which is also synced to the Analog Four's sequencer. quite frankly this is a blast."
