YAMAHA VSS-30 mini sampler - The 'Portatron'?

Published on Sep 27, 2015 Deddi Boy

"Good to be back after almost seven years of silence!

There’s still some mileage in this old and crusty Yamaha budget sampler.
I’ve only applied some external effects at the end of the video. Not bad, eh?"

crOwBX uncalibrated single voice demo

Published on Jul 23, 2015 der oberling

"single voice crOwBX synthesizer - uncalibrated

sequenced by my minibrute

further modulation via VCO-2 in LFO-Mode of my TTSH plugged into various inputs;

completely unprocessed (except for fade in and out :-) ) - crOwBX outputs go straight into inputs 1 and 2 of my Focusrite Scarlett 18i6, recording in Ableton Live, Video Processing in kdenlive

The crOwBX is a analog polyphonic synthesizer and it's voice cards are clones of the voice cards of the Oberheim OB-X

PCB and FrontPanel designed by Old Crow (small addition to the FrontPanel by deroberling); this unit is proudly assembled by deroberling;

ARP 1601 clone + TTSH (ARP 2600 clone) demo

Published on Sep 13, 2015 der oberling

"I recently finished the ARP 1601 clone build and before building a case for it I made a video demonstrating it playing some sequences.

When changing the overall pitch of the sequence this is done by my minibrute - also like the wavetable example in the last third of the video (sequence played by the minibrute).

Arp 2600 vs TTSH

Published on May 21, 2015 Dane Petrich

"This is my Arp 2600 vs TTSH Arp Clone. It's as simple as I could make it. All the audio was recorded into Pro Tools HD at 48k and I used the gain plugin to even all gain to -3db. The TTSH is about +12DB's hotter in my AVID PRE. I'm sorry for the bad editing, this is my 1st time using a video editor."

"This slick single VCO Monophonic Analog Synth was part of the TB-303 'Clone Wars' in the 90's. This is in the same family as the FreeBass 383 and MB 33. Controls are Autoslide, Saw or Square Waveform, Mix with Sub, ENV PWM, Cutoff, Resonance, EnvMod, Accent, Decay, Distortion and Master Volume. It has a On/Off switch, VCF in, Midi in, out and thru. 7 knobs will transmit MIDI cc data. This was handy as I had this mounted above my MPC 2000XL on a bracket and could 'Over Dub' and create some nice motion. All knobs work fine, no scratchy pots. There is some Rack Rash though. Original Power Supply included. I do own a TB-303 and will say this can hold it's own and has more sonic possibilities, more than my FreeBass too."
