"The only problem is the OSC 1 Pulse setting doesn't work. There is one knob to choose between Saw on the left and Pulse on the right. No go on the right. It came this way when I bought it. Seller didn't disclose this fact, and I didn't make an issue of it (maybe should have). It doesn't really affect anything in the overall scheme of the sound design. With OSC 1 on Saw, you still get that analog Oberheim sound that's quite distinctive. I've always loved the big sound and versatility of the OB. I also have a Moog Voyager, so that will be handling alot of the sounds the OB can do, but of course, it's not an Oberheim."

"Real Analogue VCO with CV/Gate + audio in."
"The analogue VCO generates 4 waveform shapes: triangle, saw tooth, rectangle and needle-impulse. The base pitch can be switched over a 4-octave-range, while fine-tune can be specified within a range of one octave. The sub-oscillator with 2 mixable octave settings completes the Nanozwerg's sound foundation. The noise generator can alternatively replace the sub-oscillator to create non-harmonic sounds. Finally, a glide-control can be used to tie notes with portamento.
The state-variable multimode-filter runs with 12 dB slope per octave and offers Lo-, Hi- and Bandpass-modes as well as notch-filtering and resonance up to self-oscillation. Cutoff can be modulated manually, by LFO and by the ADSR-envelope simultaneously. In addition, pitch-dependent cutoff-frequency can be achieved using the key follow function. Finally, LFO modulation can be replaced by the VCO output signal.
The LFO offers 4 waveform shapes including sample & hold as well as a one-shot-function, where the selected waveform is played only once after a gate-trigger, thus imitating a simple envelope. Besides the cutoff-frequency, the LFO can also modulate the pitch or the VCO rectangle's pulse width.
The ADSR-envelope allows modulation of the filter's cutoff-frequency and the VCA-output, with positive or negative excursion. Selectively, the VCA can also be opened by a gate-trigger to free the envelope for exclusive filter use.
For integration into a modular system or use with an analogue sequencer, NANOZWERG offers several control inputs. There is CV/Gate for pitch control and note length as well as CV-inputs for cutoff-control, the VCA and LFO speed. The LFO also offers CV-output.
The audio-input allows signals to be fed into the VCF and VCA. NANOZWERG can be controlled by MIDI from any compatible keyboard or DAW. Note commands are received as well as pitch-wheel (+/- 2 semitones) and modulation-wheel data, the latter controlling the filter's cutoff frequency."

2AM Experimental Ambient Session with the Radio Music Module
2AM Experimental Ambient Session with the Radio Music Module from Craig Anthony Perkins on Vimeo.
"This was just a quick, spur-of-the-moment test of my newly acquired, custom mirror-polished Radio Music module from Magpie Modular. I had just gotten home after an 8 hour day of work and a 3 and a half hour modular synth concert. I was tired... but inspired! Patch Notes: Radio Music into Mutable Instruments Elements, Braids into Rings then into Clouds. Make Noise Richter Wogglebug providing influence over Rings 'Dampening' and 'Position' and Clouds "Density" and 'Size'."

Homemade synthesizer song #1
Published on Mar 28, 2016 organfairy
"I have had a number of requests to do actual music on my homemade synthesizers and sound gadgets instead of just an assembly video and a quick demo.
So, Gentlemen and the occational Lady, now I have done it!
I wrote the music AND build the instruments. If it should be more homemade I should have carved the keys out of wood myself or cast them in plastic (we have a 3D printer where I work so it could be done - but I have used keys from scrapped organs instead).
The rhythm comes from my XOR based drum synthesizer, the bass from the little polyphonic system with sequencer. Both are controlled by the telephone exchange step sequencer. The melody is played on a modular system with a waveshaper I made in 1995, The envelope generator was made in 1996 but has been modified a couple of times since (the first version was not very good because I didn't know much about synthesizers when I made it). The filter was made somewhere in the early 2000s and is light controlled by LEDs and LDRs. The keyboard is only a couple of years old. The solo is played on a simple synthesizer I made out of leftover parts in 1999. It is not completely in tune but that is one thing that has improved over the years: My newest instruments are more precise in tuning. The chords are from a little Oz-inspired mini organ that runs through a stereo phaser. Both are made in the early 2000s.
I hope you don't dislike it too much :-)"
