Happy Nerding HN VCF demo

Published on Mar 12, 2017 Happy Nerding

"First part shows the simplest example of using note velocity CV to add variation to a static note sequence.
Second part shows difference in 'Drive' for 'LP' and 'LP!' outputs.

Third part shows how HN VCF can be used to transform mono sound to pseudo stereo. To do this the user should send 'LP' out to one channels and 'LP!' to another. With some “Drive” added to the sound it starts to be spread over stereo field."

"HN VCF is a state variable filter having 12 db Low Pass, 12 dB High Pass, 6 dB Band Pass plus 18 db Low Pass marked as “LP!”, because it has extra drive. All three parameters: 'Freq', 'Resonance' and 'Drive' have dual knobs with outer knobs controlling bipolar CV amount. These affected CVs are then shown by the relative green/blue leds.

The possibility to have CV over “Resonance” and “Drives” makes it a very capable 6 HP filter.

Happy Nerding TriTone demo

Published on Mar 12, 2017 Happy Nerding

"TriTone shown as EQ, filter and saturator."

via Happy Nerding

"TriTone is a three section EQ plus saturator. Inner knobs control frequency and outer knobs control +- gain. All these sections Hi Shelf, Band Pass and Low Shelf are having + 20 db of gain and 30 db of reduction. Each section can work independently or they can be serially connected by the switches. Middle input in each section accepts CV for its frequency, so all three sections can be individually FMed by the external CVs.

If the inputs are fed with the modular level signals (+- 5V), then there is little room for “plus” EQ gains before saturation starts. In this case the input level should be attenuated first, if saturation is not desired and much “plus” gain is needed. Otherwise saturation drastically enriches the tone and the module works like very flexible overdrive FX.

When the switches are set to upper positions, then all three sections work independently. With the maximum gain reduction (CCW position) of the upper section (Hi Shelf) it becomes a useful kind of Low Pass filter. On the contrary – maximum gain reductions of the lower section (Low Shelf) makes it a High Pass filter.

Please note the internal routing done by the switches: the output of the uppers section is added to the input of the subsequent lower section. If nothing is connection to this lower sections’ input, then only the upper section’s output is processed. This makes it a 3 band EQ with the switches set to lower position. Having separated inputs opens up more possibilities over ordinary EQs."

Juno 6/Bigsky/Timeline - Should I?

Published on Mar 12, 2017 Jae Ryan

"I've posted my Juno6 for sale and while waiting for a buyer decided I should spend some time with it and if see if I should part with it! Running the arp through my Strymon pedals I found some moments of magic, though I'm still not sure I've fallen back in love. I always wish it was a little more complex, though it always sounds good. The biggest thing stopping me is that I don't own any other synth that can to delayed vibrato/LFO's and it's one of my favourite ways to make lead sounds. Sooooo, should I?"

Published on Mar 11, 2017 Clean Fishtank

"Vintage Roland SH-101 Analog Synth - Just serviced w/ caps replaced (sounds better than ever). Recording was directly into iPhone (zero editing or effects)."

via this auction

"This is RED and a 'very good' to 'excellent' example of the classic analog synth. Cleaned and serviced recently. The interior photos were taken while apart and caps replaced by the shop. While 30+ years old, this is still a valuable studio and fun live tool. Very fat, warm and easily edited, it is fun to play and sounds fantastic!"

ARP Odyssey MK-I 2800

"As you can see I the pics, this vintage, c 1970s very first version mk-1 2800 Arp odyssey is in excellent, I hesitate to say mint condition. This is a GENUINE, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE synth, NOT a korg made Chinese reissue. It has just been completely serviced and calibrated, and is in 100% perfect working order. Every key, function, knob, slider and switch operates as designed, and they synth sounds...amazing. All of the original slider caps are also present and accounted for. This is easily the cleanest I've ever seen. Awesome.

This synthesizer makes all of the beeps, boops, squishy leads, booming basses, and wacky modulation noises you want. You can also achieve wild cross-modulation between the oscillators by switching them into unison mode and using the vco2 pitch to pit them against each other. She also has ring mod, s&h, pink/white noise and audio in for the rad (big time self oscillating!) filter. Later models tended to have a tamer sounding filter, and this one is anything but! You'll notice it is an OG model 2800 synth, not a later 2810 or 2813. The synth is in terrific cosmetic condition, with only minor wear."
