Pittsburgh Modular System 10.1 Semi-modular Analog Synthesizer Demo - Sweetwater Sound?!

Published on Dec 4, 2014 SweetwaterSound

"Richard Nicol from Pittsburgh Modular presents the System 10.1 semi-modular analog synthesizer."

Great demo from Richard Nicol aside, I almost titled this post "Eurorack Goes Mainstream with Sweetwater" or "Eurorack Comes to Sweetwater". That's the news actually. Eurorack is now available at one of the largest mainstream music shops. I did a quick search on Sweetwater for "modular synth" and currently only Pittsburgh is listed. I thought they might only have their all-in-one mini systems, but there are some individual modules as well. Note Sweetwater is not a sponsor of MATRIXSYNTH, so no link for them! ;) I joined their affiliate program at one point but nothing ever came of it, so I felt I was giving them free advertising at the expense of my actual sponsors you see on the right of the site. That and I prefer to support those that put up the initial effort and risk to support the boutique synthesizer market to begin with.

All that said, this is an interesting bit of synth history when you think about it. Modular has been going mainstream for a while now (which is great! The more support manufactures get, the more we likely get to play with), but this is definitely one of those interesting moments. Is it a tipping point in either direction or will things remain as is? Eurorack at Sweetwater... They beat Guitar Center and Musicians Friend and Pittsburgh was first.

Kiwi-106 Version 2: Sneak Peek #1 (HD)

Published on Dec 4, 2014 Syntegrator

"I am now working on clearing the Kiwi-106 Version 2 firmware and editor for release, and preliminary results are looking and sounding very cool! Here I check out the sonic potentials of the new LFO Tempo Sync capabilities of V2.

For anyone new to Kiwi-106, it's a complete hardware upgrade for the Roland Juno-106 that remakes it into a modern instrument that unlocks the potential of the classic analog Juno-106 sound engine.

Check out http://kiwitechnics.com and http://kiwi-106 for ordering and product information. V2 is going to be a free upgrade for all V1 users, of course!"

RF Nomad Testing 1,2,3...

"This track was composed entirely from sounds generated by the RF Nomad module from Evaton Technologies. EQ, reverb and delay were added during mixing. The RF Nomad is a voltage controlled shortwave radio module. The tuning frequency can be swept with an LFO or other voltage sources to produce unique textures. Many thanks to Russ Hoffman for agreeing to produce this (so far), one of a kind, MU sized version."
