Journey thru Electric Dunes (Rhythm Wolf, Circuit & MF Drive)

Published on Mar 29, 2017 HardtekStudios

"Download the audio track for FREE here-https://soundcloud.com/hardtek-studio...
For this track, I have the Novation Circuit playing a trio of Toms, accompanied by two synths. Drum one has no drum, but it programed for pumping effects on the synths. The Akai Rhythm Wolf is taking care of drums while it's bass synth is going thru the Moog MF Drive."

Oberheim Matrix 1000 OS update V1.20 ambient demo (plus Eventide Space)

Published on Mar 29, 2017 MIDERA

"Just messing around with the latest Matrix 1000 OS update version 1.20. This version is really great. You're able to modify parameters in real-time with minimal artifacts in the sound (I didn't really hear any). Plus, it lets you see what the current parameter value is (it moves up and down as you make adjustments). Seriously - it's worth buying from the developer on this one!

"... a fairly simple breakout board for teensy 3.1/3.2, focused on clock sequencing

(the name may suggest as much ... it was stolen from M. Louis Lapicque (see: idem, 1907: Sur l'excitation par décharge de condensateurs; détermination directe de la durée et de la quantité utiles. Comptes Rendus Soc. Biol. (Paris) 62, 701-704).

hardware basics, in brief:

teensy 3.1/3.2 @ 120MHz, w/ 128x64 OLED
trigger-to-output latency < 100us. 2 clock inputs (> 100k input impedance; threshold ~ 2.5V)
4 CV inputs (100k input impedance, -/+ 5V, assignable to (almost) any parameter)
6 clock outputs (5 digital, 1 DAC (12 bit): 10V (GPIO), -/+ 6V (DAC))
two encoders w/ switches; 2 tactile buttons.
14HP, ~ 25 mm Depth
firmware:

6 modes, selectable per channel:

trigger sequencer/sequence editor
clock division/multiplication
LFSR
random w/ threshold
euclidian
logic (AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, XNOR)
DAC (channel #4 only): random, binary, "Turing", logistic, sequencer/arpeggiator"

Moog Minimoog Model D 1970's Chopped & Modded

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

"For sale is a Minimoog Model D that has been chopped and modified. The mods are designed to interface with a Kenton Pro 2000 MKII Midi to CV interface or something similar. With the interface, you will be able to add a multitude of expression to you playing that isn't normally found on a Minimoog via MIDI CC messages that are converted into control voltages.

I've tested most of the features and the synth appears to be working properly. The first oscillator is slightly out of tune. The back panel support is gone.

The additional knobs at the top left control panel read Bend Amount, Dynamic VCF Amount, and LFO amount.

The extra control voltage inputs are Bend In, Dynamics In, Touch In, Mod In.

It also has CV In and Gate In. I'm assuming these are for interfacing with Roland and ARP.

The serial number is 78xx so this one probably has the buffer board and the more desirable oscillator board."

"Yamaha CS50 in great condition for it's age. Everything in working order. There are some cosmetic scratches and scuffs, things you would expect of a synth this age, but otherwise everything works great. Includes the 4 original legs and cover. It is quite heavy, so shipping is set at $250, and I will have it professionally packaged to ensure that it's protected in transit. However, if you would like to pick it up in Boston or NYC I can arrange that and forgo shipping charges."

Simple Wednesday

Published on Mar 29, 2017 Henry Birdseye Jr.

"I thought I'd just sit down and make up some synth-ey tuneage yesterday. I set up two extremely simple sequencer lines and changed the melody, such as it is, by twisting a couple knobs. Then I turned up the delay on the reverb and the notes began to kind of collide and reinforce each other. Anyway, here's a video of me cranking it out, and you can see my complete lack of technique.

Beatstep Pro
Braids MacroOscillator
Morphing Terrarium
Z5000 Reverb
Qunexus Keyboard
E440 VCF
ARP2600 Spring reverb
plus a bunch of ADSRs and VCAs"

DSI PRO 2 + EPIPHONE ES-339 PRO | GUITAR THROUGH SYNTH ~ Will They Pair? Ep.12

Published on Mar 29, 2017 once upon a synth

"Running a guitar through a synthesizer. Specifically the Epiphone ES-339 Pro through the Dave Smith Instruments Pro 2. The Pro 2 can act as a very powerful guitar pedal with its built in distortion, decimator, hack, drive, dual analog filters, envelope follower and 4 delay lines. On top of that you can utilize the powerful modulation matrix to modulate these effects for some really unique sounds. In this video I go over a few different types of sounds you can make but I only just scratch the surface of what's possible."
