"Gnat Special made by Wasp Synthesizers Oxford who acquired the license from EDP.....Cosmetics are excellent as is shown in the pics, the underside has four small holes which I assume were for some kind of mount as they are too small for mods.Its a great little synth, with a wide tonal range that belies its simple layout...good looking and quite rare."

"This unit has been completely serviced and calibrated, it works perfectly and is studio-ready! I am offering very reasonable Worldwide shipping if purchased with Buy it Now! Used by a 'who's who' list of producers, artists, DJs, etc., there is NO substitute for the original SP-12. It has some slight patina, but is guaranteed to work perfectly!

[via wikipedia]

'The E-mu SP-12 was the spiritual successor to E-mu’s 'Drumulator' and was originally going to be produced under the name Drumulator II, however shortly before the sampler went into production its name was changed to SP-12. The name SP-12 stands for sampling percussion at twelve bits, demonstrating the power of the sampler. The E-mu SP-12 is credited with helping usher in the era of digital sampling by being one of the first digital samplers in production, and allowing musicians to take digital sampling in a completely different direction...'"

FieldScaper 1.4 To Include Looper Mode


iTunes: FieldScaper or bundled with SouncScaper.

via Motion Soundscape:

"New version FieldScaper 1.4 will have new advanced looper mode for convenient use this application in real-time sound mangling.

FieldScaper - an advanced field recorder combined with a sound warp engine and a collection of ready to use dynamic presets for iPad and iPhone. Discover new ways to create and construct unusual and exciting sounds from any environmental audio recordings or samples recorded from other apps through Inter-App audio or Audiobus.

The 'Looper' mode changes the user interface to more convenient use of application in real-time and processing external sources. Use the button 'Looper' on the main screen to switch on this mode. For return to the main screen use the button 'Scaper'.

In this mode you can fast switch the presets and samples for each of oscillators. For oscillator there are five assignable buttons for presets and samples. First oscillator can be fast selected for processing of any external sound sources (include IAA and AB) in one of four modes.

Please note: In the 'Looper' mode application does not create any files when processing external sources.

The four buttons are selecting the processing mode for external source.

'Effect' - In this mode the input signal will record to the loop and oscillator is playing back this loop at the same time. The speed and direction of playback can differ from recording depending on current preset.

'Overdub' - In this mode the record to the loop will be enabled when the input signal exceed specified threshold. When input signal falls below another threshold the record will be off but already recorded signal will continue playing back. The recording can be started and stopped at any time in the loop.

Tip: To shorten the time of stopping record when input signal falls below threshold you can set a lower value of 'Stop recording time' on the 'Audio input control' panel.

'Loop A' - This mode intended for auto start the record at the beginning of the loop when input signal exceed specified threshold. Next the oscillator will playing back this loop.

'Loop M' - Mode for manual start recording to the loop. The led on the 'Start' button will flashing when waiting for record start. Tap the 'Start' button to switch on the mode of waiting input signal. When input signal appears the record will start and stop at the end of loop.

When you select the 'Loop M' mode you can use input monitor when the 'Looper' waiting for start (The led marker on the button 'Start' is flashing). Set the 'Input monitor - on' mode to get source signal on the output at waiting for start. After start the input monitor will mute.

'Input' - This button opens the 'Audio input control' panel. In this panel you can set the thresholds of input signal for start and stop recording.

Above the control buttons is placed the area in which the loop record is displayed. Two moving markers point the record and playback position in the loop. Bright bars indicate when the minimum of signal is present (above -35 db). Red bars mark the optimal level of signal for processing in the scaper (above -10 db).

The five buttons below the control buttons can be assigned for selecting presets and samples.

'Assign preset' - Assign preset for one of five buttons above.

'Assign file' - Assign file for one of five buttons above.

You can assign MIDI controls for the preset and file select buttons and for looper 'Start' button. All of these controls are at the end of list which accessible on the panel 'Settings' - 'Assign'."

KOMA Elektronik Poltergeist Analog Quadraphonic Mixer Teaser


Published on Mar 15, 2016 KOMA Elektronik

Playlist:

1. KOMA Elektronik Poltergeist Analog Quadraphonic Mixer Teaser

"Teaser video for the new KOMA Elektronik Poltergeist eurorack module. Analog quadraphonic sound recorded with a binaural microphone to illustrate quadraphonic sound best in stereo. The video starts off with the Bastl Tea Kick which is panned to all outputs with the field control. The bassline's panning is sequenced with the Komplex Sequencer. The noise hats come in and are sequenced via sample and hold. Lastly the pad is panned around from the Master Origin from a Intellijel Dixie sawtooth wave.

NOTE: Wear headphones to experience this video correctly. This is a binaural recording of the Poltergeist in a quadraphonic room to best display its capabilities in a stereo setting. Recorded with a Neumann KU-100 binaural mic courtesy of Bohemian Drips in a quadraphonic studio with Neumann KH-120 monitors at Noize Fabrik, Berlin.

For more information refer to the product page and manual: http://koma-elektronik.com/?product=p..."

2. KOMA Elektronik Poltergeist Example Patch: Crossover

"In this binaural stereo video, we illustrate the Poltergeist with the Crossover example patch from the manual. Input your synthesizer (Anti Oscillator to SVF-201 to Doepfer VCA/Doepfer ADSR) to one channel. Also take the pitch CV (which is sequenced from the Komplex Sequencer) to the Pan CV Input so the sound moves along with the melody. Komplex Sequencer Play Mode and Poltergeist Pan slope are changed throughout to evolve the patch.

NOTE: Wear headphones to experience this video correctly. This is a binaural recording of the Poltergeist in a quadraphonic room to best display its capabilities in a stereo setting. Recorded with a Neumann KU-100 binaural mic courtesy of Bohemian Drips in a quadraphonic studio with Neumann KH-120 monitors at Noize Fabrik, Berlin."

3. KOMA Elektronik Poltergeist Example Patch: Dopplerganger

"In this binaural stereo video, the Poltergeist is employed to create two alternating doppler effects. With a pitched sound going through 2 channels, use a slow attack envelope (PEG here) and connect to the Master Origin. Now take a triggerable LFO (Pingable LFO) and connect it to the VCA of both channels as well as the pitch of the VCO. Match the attack time of the envelope to one period of the LFO. Now set the Pan pot of the first channel so the sound comes from Quadrant 3 to Quadrant 1. The second channel is set so the sound moves from Quadrant 4 to 2. You will hear the same sound coming towards you from the front and from the back alternating with each other."

4. KOMA Elektronik Poltergeist Example Patch: Bruce Bickford

"The Poltergeist Quadraphonic mixer in action with the Bruce Bickford patch as found in the manual. Recorded with binaural microphone to illustrate better quadraphonic sound in stereo. Patch your hi-hat sound (in this case Doepfer Noise through the SVF-201 into the Poltergeist VCA that is CVed by the Doepfer ADSR) into a channel. Take the trigger for your hihats also to clock a S&H module that is processing noise. Then take the CV from the S&H into the channel's Pan CV to move the hihats randomly around the quadraphonic field.
