Published on Jan 29, 2015 snazelle

"In this video the Telephone Game is reading the output of the Dreamboat.that is fed into the Harvestman Piston Honda ...the "loop gate" input jack is fed chaotic gates from the chaos brother which cuts the melodic sequence into pieces....we then fed that audio into a vca with an Adsr (Bubblesound envelope ) triggered from the 4ms rcd....that same dual envelope is opening and closing the main synth line which is from the TIDAL WAVE running in voice mode as a voltage controlled oscillator with variable cv sources and internal wave folding and we are using the vca to shape that Melody...we are also using the built in a/r envelope and env out jack of the tidal wave to trigger another vca for the DRONEBANK part ....the drums are coming from the ardcore (as usual ! )"

FUTURESONUS ANNOUNCES PARVA POLYPHONIC ANALOG SYNTHESIZER

"Austin, TX, January 29, 2015 — Futuresonus is proud to announce Parva, a revolutionary new polyphonic analog synthesizer. Parva combines the classic warmth of an all-analog signal chain with the modern convenience of digital control in an elegantly designed tabletop package.

'I designed Parva from the ground up with the intention of producing a classics from the ‘70s and ‘80s,' said Futuresonus founder Brad Ferguson.

Each of Parva’s eight voices features three digitally-controlled analog oscillators, producing sawtooth, triangle, and PWM waveforms with extremely accurate pitch and rock-solid tuning stability. A pair of two-pole state-variable filters can be configured for a 12dB or 24dB low-pass or high-pass response, or split for bandpass or notch filtering. Four four-stage envelope generators and four multi-waveform low-frequency oscillators feed a flexible modulation matrix, allowing for virtually limitless sound design options.

Parva is the first analog synthesizer to feature a USB Master port, which enables the user to connect any class-compliant USB MIDI keyboard — or other controller — directly, without the need for a computer. Analog potentiometers provide immediate access to the most commonly used parameters, while the high visibility OLED displays on the front panel show additional settings, making it simple to dial in the perfect patch.

From the aluminum enclosure to the custom-machined aluminum knobs on sturdy panel- mounted potentiometers, Parva was designed with working musicians in mind, and built to last. Each unit will be hand-assembled in Austin, TX.

Parva is expected to ship in summer 2015. Pre-orders will begin in February, with the standard polyphonic Parva retailing for under $1000. An expandable monophonic version will also be available for under $500.

Futuresonus was founded by Brad Ferguson in Austin, TX in 2014, and is dedicated to designing high quality synthesizers and effects. For more information about Futuresonus, please email info@futureson.us or visit www.futureson.us."

Vintage Synthesizer Museum on KTVU

KTVU -

"Lance Hill, mastermind of The Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Emeryville, wants to preserve the history of synthesized music, as well as the instruments which made the sounds in the 70s and 80s."

You might remember the Bay Area Vintage Synthesizer Museum was recently featured on ABC7 News. It looks like they were just featured on Fox's KTVU. It's always great to see vintage synths getting exposure on mainstream TV.
