Tom Oberheim to Celebrate Launch of New Two Voice Pro at RSPE Event on April 23 - RSVPs Open

"Meet The Legend Himself - Tom Oberheim: Exclusive In-Person Event Celebrating The Launch Of The New Two Voice Pro Synthesizer

Thursday, April 23, 2015 - 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Join RSPE Audio Solutions for an intimate in-person event with legendary synthesizer designer and manufacturer Tom Oberheim.

Tom Oberheim is an audio engineer best known for designing effects processors, analog synthesizers, sequencers, and drum machines. He has been the founder of four audio electronics companies, most notably Oberheim Electronics in 1969 and was also a key figure in the development and adoption of the MIDI standard.

From it's inception until the late 80's, Oberheim created several ground-breaking products including the DS-2 (one of the first digital music sequencers), the Synthesizer Expansion Module (SEM), along with some of the first commercially available polyphonic synthesizers; The Two-voice TVS-1, Four-voice FVS-1, and Eight-voice.(which was the four voice frame with an external 4 SEM module).

In 2009, Oberheim once again began hand-building and selling very limited quantities of synthesizers with upgraded features, but with a true analog design as faithful to the sound of his originals. Until now, this required a one year wait time but...

RSPE will have very limited quantities of the Two Voice Pro available for purchase at the event.

Don't miss this opportunity to meet the creator of some of the most beloved analog synthesizers of all time!"

Ekdahl Moisturiser

"Basically, the Ekdahl Moisturizer is a spring reverb where the springs are exposed so they can be played/hit/fiddled with. As well as being capable of creating sound in itself, you can of course also play sound through the springs like a regular spring reverb - this makes for happy-fun-time finger-modulation of the reverb on whatever audio that's going through it. On top of this there's an analog multimode filter that can be used to attenuate or exaggerate certain frequencies in the sound, this is real handy while playing the springs as you can - for instance - cut all the highs and just make thunderous doomy sounds or do the opposite; cut all the lows and make that ear piercing high frequency special love. Also, it incorporates an LFO that's internally routable to the filter and that also has some external routing-stuff. The Ekdahl Moisturizer has tons of CV / Expression pedal options on the back for even more hillarious moments. The Moisturizer is a mono unit.

The Moisturizer was developed with the help of Jason Willett (Half Japanese, Leperchaun Catering), Martin Schmidt (Matmos, Instant Coffee), Joshua Atkins (Polygons, Major Powers), mom & dad and many more."

Roland System 100 Model 102

"The very rare and classic Roland Model 102 synthesizer expander is in good sounding and fully working condition. It was recapped 2012 in Japan and also serviced 2015 in Switzerland for 100% working condition. This unit works with 220-240 Volts - for other voltages you will need a converter.

Also good optical condition but there are some signs of age, some scratches (see sample and hold section). There was a drilled hole for an now removed modification wich is now covered by an plastic cap - see Pictures below input section. Please note that Switzerland isn't part of the European Union!"

Trigger in Mod for TR-9090

via Modular Experiments

"One feature I wanted to add is a row of analog inputs so that I can trigger the voices with external signals from my modular and sequencers. I tried unsuccessfully to find a circuit that would have a low-parts count and be relatively simple, not require ICs or rare parts, etc.

Eventually, I asked a manufacturer of Euro-rack modules if he would be kind enough to share his method for developing an appropriate trigger pulse from just about any external gate signal. He did not say if this was an original design or an adaptation of some other drum synth's circuit, but either way, it is not my own and I very much appreciate his assistance."

FM Thunder - FM 4 Beta

Published on Apr 8, 2015 Benedict Roff-Mash

"This is a demo of the upcoming FM4 FM Synth Rack Extension (RE) from Primal Audio. All sounds are from Patches I am making for release - except of course Drums which are Kong.

This synt is a port form the iPad app which i believe is a first for the Reason platform. It is a fun synth to use and makes FM pretty easy to program (well as far as FM is anyway)."
