New AMSynths Athena ARP Odyssey Clone

It looks like AMSynths, maker of various synth clone modules, is coming out with a full ARP Odyssey Clone.

via AMSynths, via electro-music.com

"The Athena Synthesizer is a complete analog synthesizer inspired by the ARP Odyssey. Two VCO’s with ring modulation drive a 4075 style 4-pole Low Pass Filter, which is connected to a final VCA with ADSR and AR envelopes. Noise, S&H and a LFO complete the configuration. The synthesizer is analog with CV inputs for keyboard CV, gate and trigger - there is no MIDI. The Athena is based on one large single PCB which contains the analog circuits and all the sliders and switches. It mounts to a powder coated and silk screened steel front panel designed by AMSynths.

Latest News 28/12/13

The front panel has been designed and mocked up, we will have a prototype panel made in Germany in January. Take a look at the picture – work in progress!
The first prototype VCO PCB has tested perfectly, nice and stable! See picture.
Test of the prototype VCA/ADSR/AR PCB in January, along with new VCF design (precision 4075).
First full sized single PCB will be prototyped in February.
Our slide potentiometer manufacturer is sending sample pots to us in early January, so we can check them and place an order.

Athena VCO prototype with Lumina sliders
Detailed Description
All the 1971 ARP circuits are upgraded and some of a new design, this is not a clone, but a synthesizer inspired by the work of Alan Pearlman.

Two wide range VCO’s with precision power rails, new transistor arrays with hard sync and ring modulation
4075 style Low Pass Filter with upgraded design to remove frequency limitations.
The Athena will also be available with upgraded 4023 and 4035 filters – total of 3x different main PCB’s to chose from (green , yellow and blue).
New high grade OTA based VCA to provide clean low noise audio output.
No High Pass Filter, to ensure a clear audio signal.
ADSR and AR envelopes with x0.1 and x1 timing switches.
S&H, Noise and LFO with frequency LED, LFO free run switch.
External CV1 and CV2 to VCF and VCA via slide potentiometers and switches. Can be used for Velocity and Aftertouch control.
VCO1 and VCO2 transpose switches provide +1/-1 octaves.
Portamento slide potentiometer and On/Off switch.
Robust power connectors for +/-15V on PCB.
Non-illuminated 45mm slider potentiometers with plastic slider caps.
High quality Switchcraft slide switches.
Synthesizer power standby on/off switch on front panel (right hand side).
3.5mm jacks sockets for inputs and unbalanced output, all mounted on PCB.
Output Level slide potentiometer and optional balanced output on rear XLR.
Pitch, Gate and Trigger 3.5mm jack socket inputs plus CV1 and Cv2.
NO MIDI input, please use a MIDI to CV with gate & trigger (e.g. Kenton)."

BACH: Aria "Großer Herr" on mobile devices - by DigiEnsemble Berlin featuring Tobias Berndt

Making of: BACH Aria "Großer Herr" on mobile devices - recording session

Published on Dec 29, 2013 DigiEnsemble Berlin·22 videos

"This video is a documentation of the recording process of the aria on 11th of september 2012.

The DigiEnsemble Berlin exclusively uses digital devices to perform the aria "Großer Herr, o starker König" from the famous and glorious Christmas Oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach, sung by Tobias Berndt.

The final version of the aria: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF9h6W...

The entire sound is created on the digital devices themselves. Therefore, three apps run simultaneously. These are "ThumbJam" as a sampler for all instruments, "Geo Synth" as the instrumental surface and "MIDI In Motion" as a motion controller of volume (Schwehn has provides us with a beta version), connected via virtual midi.

-- Background
For two years, the DigiEnsemble Berlin has explored the opportunities of mobile music. This aria, however, is a very important step in the course of the musicians' quest, due to the high qualitative aspiration and requirements of the piece. The DigiEnsemble Berlin physically premiers the piece together with the singer Roman Trekel at the Berlin Cathedral on the 16th December 2012.

The realization of the musically challenging aria is a culmination for the mission of acquiring virtuous playing techniques with smartphones. Matthias Krebs chose this aria consciously with the intention of accomplishing a signifying step in the ensemble's development. Experts like music professors from the Berlin University of the Arts were consulted to optimize the musical adaption and musical interpretation.
Furthermore, the technical level was enhanced by utilizing a number of elaborate controllers. An important sound quality improvement for this musical interpretation was enabled by a new motion control app called "MIDI In Motion" by Florian Schwehn. In the process of the project, the digital devices became serious musical instruments on a high level of proficiency and differentiation that has not been reached before.

STEREOPING DIY Eurorack Module 'Coloured Feedback Noise' & MIDI CV

Demo for my DIY Eurorack Module 'Coloured Feedback Noise'
Published on Dec 29, 2013 stereoping·28 videos

"I started building some diy-modules for eurorack module systems like the Doepfer. This module makes - besides the standard white noise - also some coloured noise. The latter can be adjusted with an active tone control and has an adjustable feedback-line for more drastical results. If the public interest is big enough i might make it a publicly available diy-assembly-kit."

New STEREOPING channel created. See the link below. There are a number of DIY videos dating back to 2005. I believe these are the first for eurorack.

Demo for my DIY Eurorack Module 'Midi CV Interface'
Published on Dec 29, 2013

"Short and musically quite boring demo of the features of my Eurorack diy Midi-CV-Interface. In case you dont know: such an interface lets you integrate the analogue module system into the digital midi production set. It has - besides Pitch-CV and Gate - simultaeneous outputs for velocity and 2 controllers. It can learn the midichannel (and remember it) and be set to single trigger (held notes will not send another gate) or multiple trigger. It also has a potentiometer to set the glidetime (portamento). A switch lets select if all notes should be glided or just held notes.The latter gives kind of temporary glide like on the tb303. It also has 5 Volt outputs for midiclock and sequencer-start/stop (both not features in this video). More technical info on my homepage. Sorry for the bad video quality, forgot to disable manual focus."
