Darkly Continental She Said

"Secrets Afrique Bassline care of these modules: Oscillation, SE88 filter, Amp, CharcotCircles, Ste. 16, Lfo2. Bit of processing on the second half of the phrase.

Need big speakers to translate the bouncy sub freqs.

DP9 sequenced, one-take Logic clav performance—processed crunches and phases come from it too. Still own a D6 yo... but those clavinets from Logic are beyond marvelous.

Water sounds from 'The Dam' in Newhall."

Percussa to Introduce New Hardware Digital Modular at NAMM 2017

via Percussa:

"This year at NAMM, Percussa will introduce a new powerful hardware digital modular synthesis system, combining the advantages of new musical interfaces with proven synthesis techniques.

Visit our booth #4823 at the upcoming NAMM show (Jan 19th - 22nd) in Anaheim, CA, and get a personal demo from the founders, Bert and Celine.

More information will be made available via our newsletter prior to the show."

The info will be posted here on MATRIXSYNTH of course.

Regarding the image in this post, the bottom unit is the Percussa Remote. The top is unit is new. We saw a teaser drawing showing some of the inputs and outputs in this post. Above you can clearly see what appears to be a large screen and control knob on the right with a button beneath it.

Using CV (Control Voltage) with Ensoniq ASR-10 Sampler via Modular Synthesizer

Published on Jan 12, 2017 TheDaydreamSound

"Yep! It’s possible to modulate Ensoniq samplers with Control Voltage signals. For the longest time I saw that Pedal*CV input jack on the back of the Ensoniq Samplers and didn’t really care too much about it. Yeah it would be nice to have one of those CV pedals that was as far as my interest went. Now that CV products are widely available from the rise of Modular Synthesizers that little CV jack means a whole lot to me.

In this video I’m using an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) sinewave signal to modulate various destinations of there instruments on the ASR-10. In addition, I’m feeding the audio output of the ASR-10 into the modular synthesizer, combining it with a Pulse wave and modulating the both signals with a -24db ladder filter.

There are a few steps that must be completed before this your Ensoniq sampler will recognize your CV signal. It’s important to note that all Ensoniq samplers have this feature with the exception of the Mirage and the ASR-X/PRO.

Below are the steps to take:

1. Press the “EDIT” followed by the “System*MIDI” button to get into the system menu.
2. Scroll until you see the “PEDAL” page.
3. Here you will have two option one will be VOLUME the other will be MOD.
4. Set the option to “MOD”.

That’s it! This will allow the incoming CV signal to modulate any of the Ensoniq’s modulation destinations the same way you would with any of the internal modulation sources. If your looking for this modulation option source the CV input is called “PEDAL”.

Have fun!"

Buchla 208r - Easel Sound Engine Clone by Roman Filippov

"Buchla 208r in excellent condition. Built by Roman. Works perfectly and sounds incredible. This is the sound making part of a buchla easel minus the keyboard. Just like any other synth module it can be played from triggers and voltage..this one is calibrated to standard 1v/ octave to play with 'normal' gear, but can easlily be set back to buchla standard. If you want buchla sounds but don't want to go all the way down the rabbit hole this is a great way to do it."

Word is this is closer to the original Buchla Music Easel, compared to the BEMI Easel, as it is a direct clone of the original.
