Ghost in the MS2000R
Published on Oct 21, 2013 Gary Kibler·1 video
"Rescued this late 90s Korg rackmount from the junk heap. It reminded me that, given this world of virtual PC and tablet synths, nothing brings as much joy as actual knob-twiddling. My ultimate goal with any new music toy is to somehow get it to play itself, i.e., conjure up the ghost in the machine, which, with its mod sequencer and virtual patch bay, this one does pretty well."

"Spaces in Places" Yamaha MU80 (Percussion) + Nord Lead 1
Published on Oct 21, 2013 Time Synth Project·46 videos
"Here's a simple 8 bar vamp with elaborate percussion I composed on Finale. Nord Lead begins playing at (0:40).
I created controller patches for the Nord and MU80 on the Nord Modular G1. There are no Nord Modular sounds in this, although it was used as the main controller. Whoever messes around with their portamento settings on their MU80? Easily when the midi CCs are mapped to a controller. Also switched in and out of 'modulated delay' preset on the Lexicon MX300. I didn't want the delay on during the complex drumfills."

Synth-o-Mania Event this Sunday in Texas & New ARP Odyssey Sub-Osc Kit
One fun thing we will be showing off is our next product, an Arp Odyssey Sub-Oscillator kit. It adds square-wave sub-oscillators to each of the two VCO's, making for a really Xtra Large sound! We will be selling this in kit form, or as a mod that we install here. More details on the event are here: www.syntaur.com/mania.html
Much of the hoopla will be outside, so in the event of rain (or the likelihood of rain), we will reschedule."
Retronyms AudioCopy demo
Published on Oct 21, 2013 retronyms·51 videos
"AudioCopy makes it easy to paste sound in hundreds of compatible apps.
In order to keep some of the best features of AudioCopy in iOS 7, we added a free standalone app. This acts as a "sound pasteboard" and seamlessly serves all the copied content to 3rd party apps. The AudioCopy app sits in the background and quietly serves the sound content to apps as they request it. If you don't have the AudioCopy app installed, AudioCopy/AudioPaste still work using the general pasteboard."

Synthesis Technology e560 Deflector Shield Eurorack Module

"The e560 is a triple-mode effects module: thru-zero frequency shifter, phaser and ring mod. what sets the e560 apart from other dsp effect modules is the unique carrier wave morphing feature. traditional frequency shifters and phasers use sine waves as the carrier/modulator, but the e560 has 8 different carrier waves that can be continuously cross-faded to create never-before heard sound scapes. the 8 carriers are specifically selected to give the widest sonic palette, from simple frequency shifts to 64-note ‘pattern sequences' to extreme harmonic content.
The 3 operating modes are:
Shift: a frequency shifter that can shift thru-zero with 2 simultaneous outputs (down and up). like traditional frequency shifters, a sine carrier will generate a smooth shift but the e560’s 7 other waves will generate a vast array of harmonic content and even patterns of evolving timbral shift.
Rm: a standard ring modulator (4-quadrant multiplying vca) with a twist: the 2 outputs are always forced into quadrature (90 degree phase shift). the 8 carriers can produce everything from tremolo effects to gating to high degrees of distortion.
Phase: this is an e560 exclusive mode. the audio input is applied to an 8-stage all-pass network. the 2 audio outputs are in quadrature, but in turn phase shifted from 0 to 360 degrees relative to the input. not only that, the vector the phase shift follows is the data in the carrier wave table. the phase shifting can be linear (saw wave), traditional (triangle) or bouncing all over the place (64-random phase waveform).
Not only do you have full control over the effect, but also the wet/dry mix and applying either positive or phase-inverted (negative) feedback) this introduces peaking at certain harmonics or cancellation of those harmonics. applying a slow lfo to the feedback cv can produce a wide range of constantly changing spectral content.
There are 4 cvs available to control the e560 in real-time. all 4 of the panel controls have a corresponding cv input, so that you can turn all 4 knobs at once by applying 4 cvs.
The e560 is another unique dsp-based module that has no equal in the modular world, in any format. if you are 'stuck in a musical rut' and are looking for a new module with a wide range of sounds, the e560 might be what you are looking for.
Specs:
size: 3u x 14hp (128.5mmx 70.8mm)
depth: 32.5mm
power: +12/+12v @ 90ma, -12v/-15v @ 20ma (supports both motm/frac 4-pin and euro ribbon cables)
frequency shift range: 0hz to +-3000hz
carrier waveforms: sine, triangle, square, saw, 16-point random phase, 64-point random phase, cross-modulated triangle/pulse and 3x sine"

Synthesis Technology E580 Mini Delay Eurorack Module

"The synthesis technology e580 resampling mini-delay emulates the classic sounds of digital, bbd and tape-based delays with 4 parameters under voltage control. the 14hp wide euro module accepts either +-12v euro standard power or +-15v motm/frac power. using a 40mhz dsp and 24-bit codec, the e580 recreates the pitch-shift modulating of bbds with the variable bandwidth and noise floor without costly bbd ics. in tape mode, wow& flutter, tape saturation and non-linear distortion model classic tape units without the bulk and maintenance. there are 2 simultaneous audio outputs: a straight delay and a variable tapped delay. the tap position is a percentage of the main delay time. this allows very short delays (<350us) as well as long delays (750ms). both tap position (‘offset’) and main delay time are voltage-controlled over a -5v to +5v range.
Feedback is jumper-selectable from either the tapped position or the main delay. this flexibility can generate standard ‘rhythmic’ delays (feedback from main delay) or a series of 'pre-delay reflections' (tapped delay) which sound very different from each other."
