Galilean Moons: DEMO1: WMD PDO and Galilean Moons

Published on Nov 10, 2013 hexinverterDOTnet·22 videos

"This first demo video of Galilean Moons shows the use of a WMD Phase Displacement Oscillator MkII, L-1 Mutant Vactrol Filter and a Jupiter Storm with Galilean Moons.

Galilean Moons can be used for all sorts of things, including making percussive basslines as shown in this video.

Keep an eye on this Youtube channel for more upcoming video demonstrations of Galilean Moons and other hex.net modules!

Note the gear list to audio complexity ratio for these compared to previous Ebotronix videos. I remember talking to the late Richard Lainhart once regarding his Buchla system. He commented on the amount of functionality crammed in per module. Certain modules can be viewed as separate synthesizers.

"THIS ISLAND ARP" (1955) ARP2600 PATCH TUTORIAL BY KIP KUBIN

"THIS ISLAND ARP" (1955) ARP2600 PATCH TUTORIAL BY KIP KUBIN from Kip Kubin on Vimeo.

"This patch is a tribute to the sound designers of yesteryear. Those artists who gave sound to outer space in the 1950 Sci-Fi hey day of space travel films like Forbidden Planet or this Island Earth with their synthesizers and tape machines.

One key to the patch is the electronic switch this allows every other pulse to enter the reverb tank allowing for a music note complex tonal experience.

For variations adjust the LFO's for all kinds of sound variations the S&H will take care oft the pitches but you can always adjust VCO1 if you'd like.

Add tape delay if you have it and you're back in the 1950's making noise for martians."

New Metasonix R-56 Reverb Module

via Big City Music

"Very limited number coming by Tuesday, November 12th. Pre-order now (or don't). As soon as the very limited number have been pre-ordered, the "add to cart" button will go away.

The R-56 is unique and never before available in any form. It is a limited-issue product.

It uses two 9-pin miniature triode-pentodes, type 12CT8. The design is optimized for maximum sound quality and minimum noise and hum. It is presently the only vacuum-tube spring reverb usable in a Euro-rack modular synthesizer.

The Input Drive level allows adjustment to suit any signal level, from -10dBu to the hottest module audio output. By overdriving the input, tube distortion is added, then solid-state distortion effects, from subtle to extreme. The two Output Level controls allow adjustment of the output mix, between totally "dry" (no reverb effect) to totally "wet" (reverb effect signal only). An added "Wet Only" output jack carries only the Wet signal for experimentation.

A feedback loop allows for direct feedback around the spring. This effect is independent of the input signal and affects any input signal. It can produce feedback oscillations whose frequency is dependent on the spring delay time and the driving signal. An Invert switch allows inversion of the drive signal to the spring input, which can produce drastically different sounds, especially on bass-heavy transients such as bass drums.

The miniature reverb spring "tank" is mounted directly on the front panel. If physical access to the springs is desired, the plastic cover can be easily removed by undoing two snaps.

Two CV inputs are available. One for controlling input preamp gain, from complete cutoff (-2v) to maximum drive to the spring. The other controls the feedback loop around the spring, for a wide range of chaotic distortion effects (the Feedback control knob must be turned up for this effect to operate, as it uses a vactrol to increase feedback around the potentiometer).

If the users wishes to attach a larger (guitar amp style) spring tank assembly, a set of RCA jacks on the rear is provided. The external tank should have an input impedance of 300 ohms or more, and an output impedance of 1000 ohms or more. The internal and external tanks may be operated together in parallel, for very complex reverberation effects.

Because the R-56 is a special limited-issue module, it uses an extremely high-quality custom engraved anodized aluminum front panel, with black paint infill.

Power requirement: +-12v dc, 300 mA after warmup (800-850 mA cold startup is required for 3-5 seconds). Tiptop uZeus and "Happy Ending" power supplies cannot run the R-56 and are not recommended. Most Doepfer(tm), Monorocket(tm), Analogue Systems(tm) and other third-party cabinets should have no trouble powering the R-56.

The Metasonix R-series of vacuum-tube modules is intended for use in any "Eurorack" standard modular synthesizer system. The R-56 module is 28HP (146mm) wide and fits in any Doepfer(tm), Analogue Systems(tm), or other compatible cabinet. The R-56 is powered entirely from the cabinet's internal +-12v dc power supplies, using Doepfer compatible 16-pin power connectors. (+5v power is not used.) The circuits protrude behind the panel less than 38mm (1.5 inch). All vacuum tubes are NOS (new old stock) types from classic American and European manufacturers that are run very conservatively for long life, and are readily available from distributors. The tubes protrude from the panel for visibility and cooling, less than 38mm (1.5 inches), and should fit inside a Doepfer A-100 suitcase cabinet lid or into a Doepfer mini case. All audio inputs and outputs and CV inputs/outputs are 100% compatible with other synthesizer modules. Plate voltage is provided by a tiny switching supply producing clean 48v regulated at low current, which is very safe and will not injure the user. Potentiometers are top-quality Alpha RK12L types, and 3.5mm phone jacks are special Kobiconn vertical-mount types, much better quality than the cheap ones usually seen in Euro modules. Each R-56 is fully protected against reverse supply voltage, overvoltage, undervoltage, or incorrect hookup to external equipment. As with all our products, the R-56 is totally handcrafted in Northern California, USA."
