SUPERBOOTH16 - a snipped of MOON MODULAR´s live Experience on day #2


Published on Apr 6, 2016 moonmodular

"On LEAD VOICE, you hear our new MULTIMODE VCF M505. Q-Nexus Keys are converted to CV. The Pads are played on the new Memotron m2k from Manikin Electronic - Berlin. SyncMasterClock + mixup + FX by LIVE from Ableton (Hosted by MBP).
We have no better recordings, we apologize for that. Gert recorded few minutes with his iPhone to cover an impression."

The Pulse that Simply Arrived


Published on Apr 6, 2016 Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"The magic of working with a modular synth set up is the utterly unexpected. The pulse simply 'appeared' when setting up the system today and within minutes this live recording was born. It's dark, cinematic and exploratory and hope you might enjoy it. Notes on the patch below.

The pulse is from the Harvestman Piston Honda through a Mannequins Three Sisters filter pinged from a Modcon Quad LFO. The textures come from the Harvestman Hertz Donut through the Verbos Electronics Amplitude & Tone, and the Endorphin.es Furthrrr Generator and Verbos Complex Oscillator passing through the TipTopAudio Z-DSP Halls of Valhalla card and Synthesis Technology E560 Deflector Shield. Everything is mixed live through the Intellijel Mutamix Mixer and Intellijel Linix Mixer/VCA and recorded direct to digital input."

New Casio CZ Patch Sets From CZounds


Mike of CZounds wrote in to let us know he has a number of patch sets available for the Casio CZ series of synths. You'll find demos of the different sets below.

"CZounds.com is my new synth patch company to create and sell sounds inspired by synthpop bands of the 1980s. Each collection has 64 patches recreating the sounds (to varying degrees) of about a dozen classic songs.

By the way there's an introductory Spring Sale for April and May. All patch sets are $12 ($3 off the regular $15 price)."

"The Casio CZ synthesizer surprised musicians in the mid-1980s with its power and affordability. It caught on quickly and remains popular today. Breathe new life into this classic synth with some top-notch sounds!

CZounds brings you new patches inspired by bands like Depeche Mode, Devo, The Human League, New Order and OMD. Listen to our patch set audio demos to hear recreations and interpretations of sounds from dozens of classic synthpop songs.

Our patches take full advantage of the CZ's abilities and quirks, like built-in reverbs and key release effects. Each robust collection gives you deep basses, thick leads, punchy horns, shimmering synths, rich pads, and retro flavor galore."

"This auction is for a vintage Roland System 100M module 110 which contains a VCO, VCF and VCA. The module works great and the sliders and pots work are smooth. Used in a non-smoking private studio. Features glow in the dark slider caps (technology transplant) and has a completely reversible SYNC mod which was professionally installed. It uses the LOW audio output jack and converts it into an input to sync the VCO frequency. You can then use the VCO mod input to do sync sweeps."
