ELECTRONIC MUSIC SYNTHESIZER BUILDING WORKSHOP


Published on May 12, 2016 audiovisuality

"Discover electronics and sound design while making your own music synthesizer with sound designer, Andrew Bucksbarg. You will learn basic electronics including schematic reading, IC chips, bread-boarding, oscillators and simple circuits for sound-making and filtering, sound design concepts, and adding controls and sensors that react to touch, temperature and light. The workshop will provide expert instruction to build your own sonic electronics and get you thinking about new ways of composing, controlling and performing with your first electronic, analog mini-synth. The instrument includes a 1/4" output so it can be sampled and incorporated into your own beats, compositions, and performances. Once you have finished the workshop, it’s yours to take home and use or design further! This class is suitable for all levels, all materials for the workshop are included."

SSSR Labs. SM042 KOTELNIKOV: Modulations


Published on May 19, 2016 rpocc

"This is almost unedited video showing KOTELNIKOV modulated by audio-rate oscillations.
The second module is a VCF in self-oscillation mode, sequenced by the same source as the SM042 module. (Elektron Analog Four is used as sequencer, which sends 1v/Oct pitch CV and unipolar envelopes for AM directly to this mini-system)

Since VCF CV input is also 1v/octave, a dramatic sound enhancement is possible using FM techniques as well as audio-rate Waveform Modulation and Hard-syncing."

via Modularsynth.ru:

"The SSSR Labs KOTELNIKOV is a digital voltage controlled wavetable oscillator module with morphing feature and built-in transient generator. This oscillator can generate number of sounds with diverse spectral content and combine them in various proportions. Kotelnikov can be used as a usual oscillator in a traditional subtractive synthesizer system, but it is also possible to use it as a complete voice module as it features shaped timbres, envelope generator and amplitude modulation.

Technical highlights

The sound engine sampling rate is locked to pitch and varies from 4.2 to 133 kHz, which gives very clear highs and uniform spectral content over the full range.
The Pitch resolution is 6 cents and CV input sampling rate is 6 kHz, which gives smooth analogish FM-ready CV response.
Analogue Amplitude Modulation input is bipolar, linear, rail-to-rail.
Kotelnikov contains 80 waveforms organized in 4 banks:

New Eurorack Maker Svarog Audio Introduces the Aspid Eurorack Module


Published on May 19, 2016 rpocc

Note: this is the first post to officially feature Svarog Audio on the site. The Aspid is their first module. Previous videos by rpocc primarily featured SSSR Labs.

Video description followed by full details on the new Aspid module:

"Eurorack module from Russia!

The Aspid Analog fuzz module by Svarog Audio was made especially for working with bass synthesizers and modules as well as kick, electro and bass-guitars. It is assembled by hand in accordance with the classic analog scheme. Only the best quality parts have been used, such as the original circuit LM308N and EPCOS film capacitors."

via Svarog Audio:

"Analog fuzz 'Aspid' by Svarog Audio was made specially for working with bass synthesizers and modules, 'kick' and also electro and bass-guitars. It's assembled by hand in accordance with the classic analog scheme. Only the best quality parts have been used, such as the original circuit LM308N and film capacitors EPCOS. It is screened to avoid interference.

The MIXING knob is used for mixing raw and processed incoming signals. This knob is meant for processing bass pieces and kicks. It's common knowledge that the overload effect reduces low frequencies to a certain extent. To avoid trapping of sound waves take advantage of the knob.

The VOLUME knob is the volume of effects. At its original position the mixing handle works as volume of the initial signal.

Tone enables you to regulate the quantity of a high frequency spectrum in the effect's sound.

GAIN is the degree of distortion.

FAT adds 'richness' to the sound structure.

CLIP MODE changes the structure of distortions.
The first mode gives a softer sound typical of vintage distortion effects. The second mode is meant for hard distortions, the sound acquires a lot of harmonics.

The 'GAIN' knob works together with 'fat' and 'clip mode'. Each of them affects the other two. It allows to obtain different variations of sounding the module."
