How To Add a THIRD Oscillator on the MiniBrute 2

Published on Jan 18, 2018 BoBeats

"The MiniBrute 2 and 2S sports two oscillators on the front panel but with the patchbay you can add a lot of different functions. In this tutorial I take a look at one way to add a third oscillator.

Thanks to DivKid for helping me out with this video. He called this a 'weird synced waveshaper' which might be more correct. :-D"

Using the 0-coast's slope as sub-oscillator + PO-Tonic jam

Published on Jan 18, 2018 Marc Nostromo

"This is a remix on the classic hard-sync patchtips on the 0-coast. The twist here is that rather than triggering the slope directly from the VCO's square output, it is routed through the tempo / clock with a 2 subdivision, turning effectively the slope oscillator into a sub-osc. The general balance is tuned by the balance. The timbre of the sub can be altered using the time factor and the math atenuverter. In the second part of the video additionally clocks a teenageengineering po32 from the midi input gate, adding semi-random accompaniment everytime a note is triggered"

Digitakt and Microgranny jam - No_Block

Published on Jan 18, 2018 Play Nice

"A jam using the Digitakt and Microgranny together. The Digitakt is sending clock to the MG to keep in time but isn't being used to send note data. The output from the MG is being sent through the Digitakt and monitored, so no mixer required."

Endorphin shuttle system. Backstage for "life is a trip contest".

Don't miss the funny story about customs below.

"Hello:)

I really appreciate that talented and lovely guys from https://endorphin.es/ choose me as one of five artist who will make tracks using awesome endorphin shuttle system for 'life is a trip contest' [posted here] ! So this is a small backstage video of the track recording process for the contest. Track in the background is not for contest but also made with powerful combination of furthrrrr generator terminal modules. As for my upcoming track I use shuttle system in every part of it for basslines, playing dirty lead sounds, making percussive patterns and noise textures. And what I would say about my "shuttle experience". I found that it is very deep and multi-functional instrument but at the same time it’s easy to start. It is standalone instrument but at the same time it’s fiendly to be integrated with other pieces of my stuff. My favourite things is experiments with furthrrr modulations, infinite possibilities of shuttle control module and punchy percussive possibilities of the system. I’m not playing live a lot, but in the studio shuttle system has a very plentiful sound.

Once again thank you endorphin team! Traditionally thank you Fedor Vetkalov, Jury Mo, Kirill for assisting during recording process, and Natalie who gives me a lot of energy and inspiration. And I say hello to other artist of the 'life is a trip contest' and all endorphin pilots!:)

P.S. There was funny moment when I received box with shuttle system in the customs. Customs officer ask me for declaration to bring any letters and manual describing system and translated it via google translator (because they do not rely and believe to declarants translations). So the letter starts with «CONGRATULATIONS! You are one of the 5 chosen artists to be a part of this wonderful experience spreading modular love all over our beautiful planet». I would say that in Russian it’s sounds really strange. Customs officer (quite young, beautiful but very serious lady) - «I do not have any experience in declaration of the spreading modular love» and after these words she became kinder and kinder. @endorphin you are making very creative manuals and letters which creatively translated by google translator for the coldest Russian hearts))))"

KORG Officially Introduces the prologue: a New Generation of Customizable (SDK) Analog Synthesizers

Published on Jan 17, 2018 Korg
Update: this was originally posted at 10:07 PM Pacific. Moving it up as new videos from Kraft Music and Reverb have been added below.

The prologue-16 comes in at $1,999.99, and the prologue-8 comes in at $1,499.99.

The big surprise: "The prologue offers an SDK (Software Development Kit) that allows developers to program, customize and extend the capabilities of the multi-engine and digital effects and is expected to be available for download in the spring of 2018. The prologue provides 16 user oscillator slots and 16 user effect slots, and users can use the prologue Librarian software (also expected to be available for download in the spring of 2018) to load into their prologue new oscillators and effect programs created by developers with the prologue SDK (Software Development Kit)."

General description: "The ultimate multi-voice, multi-timbre and multi-engine is here. prologue is a fully-programmable, full-featured, professional synthesizer, preceded by the four-voice polyphonic minilogue and the monophonic monologue. Equipped with a full-sized keyboard and powerful analog circuits that are descended directly from the earlier models of the series, prologue expands the variety of sounds and the possibilities for user customization. The lineup is comprised of two models that cover musicians’ needs for not only stage use, but also studio, home, or touring use: 16-voice 61-key prologue-16, and the eight-voice 49-key prologue-8. These instruments are capable of sounds that go beyond existing analog synthesizers."

And the full details and pics via KORG:

"16/8-voice analog sound

The prologue is a polyphonic analog synthesizer with 8 or 16 multitimbral voices. KORG’s analog synthesizer development in recent years has culminated in the prologue, which was designed using 11,000 discrete electronic components. Although the prologue is a flagship instrument, it still retains the inviting feel and accessibility of its predecessors. It features a pure analog path, impeccable sound quality, stunning presence unlike any other poly synth, and the same intuitive interface as the minilogue and monologue, granting you intuitive access to a vast world of analog synthesis.

The prologue uses a structure of 2VCO + MULTI ENGINE, 1VCF, 2EG, 1VCA, and 1LFO. In addition to distinctive, original circuitry, such as wave shaping to shape the oscillator’s overtones and a sync/ring switch, prologue also features a two-pole low pass filter with enhanced sharpness, drive that adds powerful distortion, and a low cut (high pass) switch. Every detail has been improved on from minilogue and monologue. Its sound covers every sonic possibility: fat basses, powerful leads, and the beautiful pads that you expect from a polyphonic synthesizer.

Newly developed multi-engine

The ingenuity of prologue goes beyond its analog design. The newly developed multi engine is provided as VCO3, adding digital waveforms and FM. This multi engine, which is equipped with three different sound engines, can be combined with the analog VCOs to expand prologue’s sonic potential far beyond that of a traditional analog synthesizer.
Noise generator

There are four types of noise generator, indispensable for percussive sounds or sound effects. Experience how digital filtering can produce direct changes in the color of the noise.
VPM oscillator

The VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) / FM oscillator was newly developed for prologue. Its metallic and sharp sounds with their complex overtones could never be obtained by analog means. With 16 types of oscillator and the SHAPE knob, you’ll be intuitively guided through complex sound design. Combine these wave shapes with prologue’s gorgeous analog filters, and prepare for sounds you never thought possible.
User oscillator

The user oscillator section lets you load oscillator programs of your own creation. Sixteen slots are provided, and one type of morphing wavetable oscillator is built-in as a preset.

Digital effects

The high-quality digital effects feature pristine 32-bit floating-point processing, and add a further polish to the sound of the prologue. With two effect units provided (a modulation effect and delay/reverb), you can choose from a wide variety such as chorus or ensemble, warm tape delay, or diverse reverbs. The user effect slots let you load effect programs of your own creation.

"User-customization

The prologue offers an SDK (Software Development Kit) that allows developers to program, customize and extend the capabilities of the multi-engine and digital effects and is expected to be available for download in the spring of 2018. The prologue provides 16 user oscillator slots and 16 user effect slots, and users can use the prologue Librarian software (also expected to be available for download in the spring of 2018) to load into their prologue new oscillators and effect programs created by developers with the prologue SDK (Software Development Kit).

What types of sound will you create by combining the expanded digital oscillators with analog synthesis? You can create original programs and share code to participate in the user community. Start with sample code provided by KORG. The prologue belongs to you."

Analog comp/booster

The exclusive VU meter is available only on the prologue-16, and indicates the newly developed master effect L.F. COMP. It’s a low end booster/compressor using an analog circuit, delivering a solid sense of presence that cannot be obtained from a simple EQ. You’ll particularly notice the difference in high-volume stage performances where maximum dynamics can be utilized."

KORG Introduces the ARP ODYSSEY FSQ - Full Size Odyssey Bundled with Orange & Black SQ-1

Note these are the full size KORG ARP Odysseys announced last year. There are only a limited number left and they will be bundled with a custom black & orange themed SQ-1 - no custom white or black & gold SQ-1s. Details follow.

"A limited-edition bundle that includes a full-size ARP ODYSSEY and a KORG SQ-1.

The ARP ODYSSEY FS went on sale in 2017 as a reissue of the original ARP Odyssey. With perfectly replicated analog circuits and sound, and a full-size chassis to match the original, this is a limited-production product that is being reproduced and assembled using parts that are now dead stock. Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3 are each assembled in Japan, and are now available in small quantities as limited-edition models.

Just for this occasion, the KORG SQ-1 step sequencer is also specially included in the package. A limited-edition ARP color version with orange silk-screening on a black panel has been added. Two mini-patch cables are also included so that you can start sequencing your ARP ODYSSEY FS right out of the box. By connecting via CV/GATE, synthesizer fans who prefer analog sequencing can enjoy the infinite possibilities of ARP’s legendary synthesis on a full-size unit.

Reproduction model assembled in Japan from an extremely limited number of stock components.

Available in all three generation color variants: Rev1, Rev2, and Rev3.

All three generation color variants contain all three original analog filter circuit revisions

Packaged together with a limited-edition ARP color version of the KORG SQ-1 step sequencer.

*With the exception of the location of assembly, the specifications of the ARP ODYSSEY FS are identical to those of the previously released ARP ODYSSEY FS (ASSEMBLED IN NEW YORK).

*With the exception of the design and the inclusion of the patch cables, the specifications of the KORG SQ-1 ARP color version are identical to those of the usual KORG SQ-1.

*Regardless of whether the ARP ODYSSEY FS is a Rev1, Rev2, or Rev3 model, all KORG SQ-1 ARP color version units have the same design with a black panel and orange silk-screening."
