Arp Odyssey 2800 MK1 Analog Synthesizer w/ Joystick & CV Mods

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is the original Arp Odyssey. It is in decent condition. It hasn't been beat up or abused. A few discolored spots (adds character). The keyboard functions as it should. All the keys work and none stick. It has a good synth action feel. All the functions seem to work, but, not being an analog expert and not knowing how parameters interact with each other, sometimes things don't do anything, thus, it is being sold as is. Still, It is capable of makeing those smooth warm analog sounds. The nice thing about this unit is that it comes with a joy stick. The drawback of the Odysseys was the pitch knob. The joy stick adds control of pitch and filter as well as oscillator mix. This joy stick is rare. A web search failed to find one for sale. It can also be used with other analog synths including modular as long as they are properly wired up. Full disclosure: The cv, gate and trig I/O has been added. I am able to send signal to another voltage controlled unit, but, the osc 1, 2 and gain controls do nothing. One cap on a slider is missing. (pulse width mod). The ground prong has been cut off the power plug. The white balance is off in some of the pictures. It is white not yellow. Detailed item info refers to ac adapter, there is an internal power supply. Comes with foot switch for portamento. It will probably be shipped in two packages, one with the synth, and, one with the controllers. Save shipping by picking it up in Prescott Arizona. I will ship outside the US but it will be more expensive."

VGM #81: Protoman's Theme (Mega Man 3)

Published on Aug 3, 2016 Ace Waters

"Also known as Whistle Concert, I was inspired to cover Protoman's Theme while watching a good friend complete Mega Man 3 at my house, which tends to be the case when I cover most Mega Man music.

No BTS video this week. This video ended up taking a lot longer than expected and I just have too much other stuff on my plate right now. Including:

WHERE ARE YOUR VGM ALBUMS??? You might be asking. Well, I had to take them off of Loudr due to some issues I was having over there. I am in the process of getting them back online and available for you all, but its going to take a little while. I will make an update video when they are back online!

MFB Dominion 1 wobbly slider fix

Published on Aug 3, 2016 Vykaar Tones

"I used short lengths of rubber sleeving to make the sliders of this amazing synthesizer less wobbly."

Thought this was an interesting and simple solution worth posting for slider based synths in general. Just be sure to check it over the years to be sure it doesn't break down over time. Not saying it will, but I guess it depends on what you use and any friction over time.

Video Walkthrough - Modular Meets Electric Spring 2016

Published on Aug 3, 2016 DivKidVideo

"Here's the first of a few videos from Huddersfield University's 'Electric Spring Festival'. For the past couple of years they've let us hold a 'Modular Meets' event. In this first video from 'Enzo Luckow' filmed a walkthrough of the event on his Go Pro and gave me the footage. So here it is with some audio in the background which is me jamming on my Beatstep Pro and Euro-Drum rack. I may upload the audio separate as it probably deserves some attention ... I like it! :)

RyuX CEM3320 Filter VC

Published on Aug 2, 2016 RyuX

"This is my eurorack filter with a Curtis CEM3320.
2/4 pole switchable, normal / hard saturation, 2 channel mixer, resonance and frequency cv.
Playing around a little bit"

"Based on Digisound 80-6A."

Update: I asked RyuX if this was a one off or if they would be made available in any form. He said, "I have made a couple of PCBs for the prototype, of course i had to do some modifications to have it fully working. It would be possible to give away some PCBs along with Instructions. I don't plan on giving away completed modules as the CEM3320 Chips are very rare."

There were rumors of the CEM3320 being re-issued when the new CEM3340 was announced, so there might be some hope.

Korg MS-20 Retro Expansion by Yew Tree Magic's Martin Walker

This one in via Martin Walker of Sound on Sound, who brought us the Yew Tree Magic's Steampunk Shruthi Sound Designer Edition.

"With additional top-mounted panel controls and handsome cherry hardwood side panels, the Retro Expansion is a heavily modded version of the Korg MS-20 Mini by Martin Walker that includes the following additional features:

1. MULTI-OUTPUTS: separate TRI, SAW and PULSE output sockets, all available simultaneously, plus a separate output for OSC2.

2. PWM: an additional input for OSC1 variable pulse width modulation, using the existing pulse width knob to control PWM level.

3. SYNC: An OSC2 Sync toggle switch, to lock it with OSC1 for those screaming lead sync FX.

4. FM: An FM input added to OSC2 with its own rotary level control, so it could be modulated at audio rates by OSC1 among other options.

5. VCO MIXER: expansion for the existing mixer section, adding two extra input sockets, each with its own level control knob.

6. DIODE RING MOD: a more traditional transformer/schottky diode ring modulator circuit to achieve far more mellow ring mod options than the integral (XOR) option.

7. Final casework mods include a new top-mounting panel for all the new controls, a 1/4-inch jack output, and cherry hardwood side panels from Dolmage Designs.

If you're interested in adding any or all of these Retro Expansion mods to your own MS-20 Mini, all details of the circuit changes and more photos are available at www.yewtreemagic.co.uk. They should also work on the original MS-20 and more recent kit versions."

DSP synth demo

Published on Aug 2, 2016 Depth Sounder

"A quick demo of www.dspsynth.eu CZ and CR-4 dsp chip modules, I am sorry for getting the website wrong, please note it is www.dspsynth.eu." [vs. dspsynth.com mentioned in the video]

"The 4HP CZ-VCO module is a phase distortion oscillator in a 4HP module.

It replicates the famous PD waveform and can make resonant sweeps without a filter.

Based on the CZ-1 chip (http://www.dspsynth.eu) it features a 1V/Octave pitch input with a 5 octave range and a modulation index CV input with a range of 0.125x – 16x. Both inputs have an attenuator knob doubling as a parameter dial when the CV’s are not plugged in.

It also has a simple Gate VCA input that enables it to be used as a complete synth if you don’t have any EG and VCA modules, i.e with an analog sequencer it will perform as an acid box.

The Nanodrum modules have classic sounds including:

R606 Vintage drums, R727 Latin Percussions, CR-4 Compurhythm, Drumfox Synth Percussion, SP-4 Drumulatin, DX 80’s classic and Lm-1 classic.

All modules have 4 rising edge trig inputs and a global tune knob with input CV.

Simmons SDS 5 / SDSV DIY clone demo

Published on Aug 2, 2016 der oberling

"I have finished building yet another clone project.
It's a clone of the Simmons SDS-V

This time it's a little more DIY because I designed my own 19" rack mountable Frontpanel for the 6 modules and added a selfmade MIDI-Trigger converter that takes MIDI messages (in this Demo they came from Ableton live) and triggers the voices accordingly (sourcecode and schematics: https://github.com/oberling/AVRMIDI-T...).
The MIDI-Trigger converter also includes 16 flame variations that are selected by the velocity of the note.

Recording completely dry from the modules into the sound card. No additional processing. Prepare your speakers/ears for some nasty self oscillations here and there ;-)

Voice PCBs and more Project info: https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/vie...
This Clone itself already includes several more editable parameters than the original and I added the only roughly described LFO-Speed mod as well as the TB1/TB2 switch (Tom/Bass) for even more knobbing fun."

I think the main complaint people had/have with the OB-12 was that it didn't sound like an original, analog Oberheim. I don't have experience with an original analog Oberheim but I think the OB-12 sounds great and is a lot of fun to play with. History seems to be treating this synthesizer kindly and the prices for them have been creeping up for years."

This synth was recommend to me by Chris Walla from Death Cab for Cutie when I asked him how he got those nice vintage synth sounds on the Kintsugi album (specifically on the song Black Sun). This synth is amazing! If you like thick 3D Moog sounds, you will love this synth. The filters are definitely all Moog!"

Moog 904-A Eurorack clone by controlvoltage.org DEMO

Published on Aug 2, 2016 Roberto Raineri-Seith

"A 'quick and dirty' demo of the controlvoltage.org Moog 904-A clone for Eurorack that can be ordered as DIY-project on my website controlvoltage.org (production files only).

The filter is fed with a single square waveform from a Mos-Lab 921-B VCO.

Various settings, initially without, later with frequency control from the same envelope used on the VCA. No attenuators used. Delay and reverb added.

Final note: the module was only roughly calibrated and not all transistors were matched, so for purist there is some improvement margin left ;-)"

See this post from 2012 on the controlvoltage.org 904.A, and this post for another video.

..about modular classics (1) - HerrSchneider

..about modular classics (1) - HerrSchneider from HerrSchneider on Vimeo.

"Nowadays some of the younger potential customers are expecting something like a demo button on their new modulars not willing to learn basic technical scills from adsr down to sample&hold. Making a patch on a classical modular system (like this one from Analogue Systems) could lead you to classical synth sounds with spherical athmos quite easy, but.. I tried to not follow this, what looks easy with so many modules in front of me. To let you understand what i did, you can find some explanations of the patch at the end of the video, I hope it is not too boring.

Please listen to the sounds with a headphone or speakers, you will hear the quality of the filters, the bass is indeed very simple. The RS-370 is able to do lots more, but this will need an extra video .. hopefully soon."
