Paper-Synthesizer Workshop Set for 24 Okt in Berlin

"*Paper-Synthesizer 201 - MIDI to Control Voltage*

by Antti Pussinen and Wolfgang Spahn

In the next installment of Paper Synthesizer workshops, we build a duophonic Midi to Control Voltage converter. The module fits in to Eurorack format, or can be built as a separate interface box. The converter talks with both USBmidi and normal Midi via midi cable.

UsbMidi/Midi to CV converter is the interface that lets other computers, synthesizers and controllers integrate into the modular synthesizer world. While an old standard, Midi keeps its place as the universal data connector in synthesizer world, as well as for other creative controllers ranging from vj and dj controllers, to custom diy button banks, and media artworks.

Control voltage is the analog old school version of midi, where change in voltage means a change in pitch or some other parameter. One instrument is represented as a Volt/Octave output changing the pitch, Gate output telling if the note is on or off, and velocity output, changing the dynamics of the sound.

Our midi to cv offers two of such instruments, with additional midi clock to clock output, and two midi cc to cv output.

Our midi to vc is a open source, arduino based, open hardware project.

The converter offers:
- 2 x 1V/Oct CV Out
- 2 x Gate Out
- 2 x CV Out (velocity)
- 1 x Clock Out
- 2 x Assignable Midi CC Out

It is powered over standard Eurorack power connector (+12V,-12V). A 12V powered box is also possible with adding an dc-dc converter in the box.

The Circuit is built around an Arduino Pro Micro controller, and a two channel precision digital-to-analog converter. In the workshop we go through the circuit of the module, build, test and trim a working module and look a bit into to the code.

All the tools and materials will be provided.\\
The faceplate is not included!\\
The workshop will be held in German and English.\\

Bastl Rumburack!

Three pics via Cymru Beats where these are currently in stock.

Details:

"Rumburack is a compact and highly reconfigurable multi voice instrument with advanced sequencing and modulation capabilities. We could frame it as a modular drum machine, but it is not possible to pre-determine its end use, the more it offers 14HP of blank space for additional modules. It is composed entirely of 3U modules compatible with eurorack format.

Rumburack consists of:

wooden carry case – the closing lid also works as a positioning system
built in power supply
modules
Knit Rider
CV Trinity
Tea kick 2x
grandPa
Little Nerd
Skis 2x
Noise Square
Quattro Figaro
Cinnamon
Propust
Multiple
ABC
manual for every module
Bag of patch cables
Leather carry strap"

"You are bidding on an exceptionally rare Soundlab Semi Modular synthesiser. Sound is somewhere between a Korg MS-20 and an Arp 2600 and features 2 oscillators (+ plus external in and white noise) with hard sync, PWM and a wide variety of patching options as well as 2 LFOs and 2 Envelopes Works great either on it's own or as part of a modular rig (I've had a lot of fun using with Silent Way) Fits in a 4U rack and oh, it looks really cool too."

Hordijk Modular Sketchbook #14 from Klonk on Vimeo.

"Selfgenerating patch featuring a crazy jazzy oriental vibe - to me at least.
Patch notes:
1.) Rungler Pulsed -> 24dB HP in, triggered by Dual Env, selfmodulating via S&H Feedback to MOD B
2.) TwinPeak triggered by Dual Envelope same Feedback modulation as above
3.) oscHRM triggered by a B Envelope of the TwinPeak filter. FM'd via a second oscHRM, level of FM controlled by a triangle LFO into VCA of the modulating vco. Pitch via S&H out B into Quantizer.

In the end El Cap on the 2 buss."

I've never seen or heard one of these before. I did a quick search online and couldn't find a single video of one. If anyone picks this up, please make one!

"JOHN LENNON bought SPIRON during his stay in Japan '70s and used it
now,his SPIRON is in HARD ROCK CAFE collection.
here is article about his SPIRON;
John's Kawlabo (captured below)

SPIRON EM-5100 is one of the most rare and strangest Japanese electronic musical instruments
made by KAWLABO in '70s Japan.

SPIRON made very limited quantities those days
so i'ts very hard to find even in Japan nowadays...
this is your first and last chance to get this vintage gem!

SPIRON has 4 preset sound FLUTE,WOOD,REED,STRING
and 3 effects VIOLIN(vibrate),MANDOLIN(tremoro),PIANO(short decay)
you can combine them to make more unique sound.

it also has BASS and Chord button section like accordion(but not same key arrangements as accordion)
you can change key arrangement using BASS POSITION SELECTOR(side panel)
BASS sound has 2 variation ORGAN,GUITAR

there are 7 knob in front of the keyboards,
TUNING,VIBRATE,SOLO SUSTAIN,BASS SUSTAIN,SOLO BALANCE,BASS-CHORD BALANCE,VOLUME
for sound treatment.

SPIRON has very amazing unique function for volume expression,
big silver knob(meter) near speaker is special sensor for tilt
to set the needle to center of this meter,you can get volume expression by tilting the SPIRON'S body right or left
like of the bellows of accordion.

side panel has POWER JACK(100V only),OUTPUT,PHONE OUTPUT.
it also has internal speaker top panel.

Item is used condition and basically working
I found some issue during check;
1.FLUTE sound is very weak
2.REED sound is very weak and noisy
3.PIANO EFFECT(short decay) is not works
4.internal speaker has noise"
