Published on Dec 4, 2016 Jacques Mongrel

"I sample a beat with the Elektron Octatrack. I edit it and time-stretch it to match new tempo using the Octatrack's own Audio Editor. (Part 1 of 2)"

"This unit has a memory expansion installed. It was installed prior to my ownership - but it has been a GREAT feature. Look in the photos where it says "Jupiter 8" at the upper right of the body - there is a small 3-position switch. In position one, you have a complete set of presets. Switch it to position two, and all of the presets are now loaded and saved from position two. Same with position 3. It works perfectly."

New Bubblesound DiOD Filter - Classic Steiner Parker Diode Filter

"The DiOD Filter is a faithful recreation of the classic Steiner Parker Diode Filter with modern inout and output buffers. This keeps the noise to a minimum while retaining everything that made this filter a classic. The DiOD is a unique sounding and versatile filter in a small 4HP package. From soft and smooth to brutal, noisy and chaotic, the DiOD's flexibility will make it at home in any size system.

This filter will track, but not as tight as the VCOb and it will self resonate; in fact at the upper reaches of the Resonance it's pretty hard to control.

Compact and quiet enough to chain several together for stereo filtering, adding more poles or creating a very resonant phaser.

The 2 CV inputs can be CV or Audio.

Specs
4HP
20MM deep
+50mA
-30mA
2 CV inputs
High Pass, Band Pass and Low Pass settings
Single Output."

The filter is soon to be available assembled from Control exclusively till the end of the year and kits from Control, Modular Addictand Thonk.

Roland Boutique Start - TB-03 (a short tutorial)

Published on Dec 5, 2016 RolandChannel

"This video is a short tutorial on the Roland Boutique TB-03 Bass Line Synthesizer.

0:17 Step Rec Mode
1:25 Original 303 Rec Mode
2:46 Connecting CV/GATE

The Roland Boutique TB-03 is a direct descendant of the famous TB-303 Bass Line Synth. The layout and controls are unchanged, so it works just like the original. It sounds like it too, thanks to Roland’s advanced ACB technology that recreates the hypnotic liquid grooves of the magic silver box.

But the new TB-03 goes even further, with several enhancements not found on the original model. The four-digit LED display makes programming easier and more accurate, while overdrive and delay effects let you unleash a twisted, tribal wall of sound to send the crowd into a frenzy.

Back in the studio, the TB-03 can send control information via MIDI or its USB port, the latter of which also functions as a audio interface."

Good video on the difference between vector synthesis and wave sequencing on the Korg Wavestation line of synths in general. Vector synthesis was introduced on the Sequential Circuits Prophet-VS. The tech was then applied to the Yamaha SY-22 and TG-33 after Yamaha acquired SCI. It then made it's way to Korg on the Wavestation which added wave sequencing to the mix.
