- 3 sources for tempo control: pot, CV or external clock;
- the 2 quantizer channels' tessitura can be independently controlled (low and high range) by pots or CV;
- transposition
- clock output (not tested in this video)

Thanks,

Novation Peak Wavetables

Published on May 7, 2018 Tim Shoebridge

"In this video I go through all the additional wave forms that are available for the Novation Peak polyphonic synthesizer in order to give you an idea of what they sound like and how you might use them. This has ended up being a very long video, over 55 minutes in total, but hopefully it might be useful to you if you are thinking of investing in a Peak or want to know its capabilities in comparison to other synths."

"This is a brilliant introduction to modular synthesis on abudget or a nice portable add-on to a small system. The new module prices are between 20 and 30 Euros, making it an affordable way to create analogue synth sounds, let alone a modular system that runs to thousands of pounds."

Yamaha CS-15 Synthesizer in Beautiful Shape

"These Yamaha CS series vintage synths are as analog and organic as they come and this specific model has been thoroughly tested including the oscillators (very important for the CS series synths). Every key, slider, button, and feature is working flawlessly.

For those not too familiar with the CS-15, it's the only model of the CS series that can produce two triangle waves, and these sound nice and colorful. Other synths, even many analog ones don't come anywhere near this one. This is mostly due to the unique discrete design which give all waves, including the triangle richer high end frequencies, so they really pop especially when using the filters. Also, combining a triangle wave with another square, pulse width, or sawtooth adds a smooth and thick texture to the sound due to the fact these are truly unique oscillators.

Yamaha also added a brilliance slider in front that affects both filters simultaneously and LED's for each of the ADSR envelopes. And these envelopes on the x5 setting can extend out about twice as long as the former CS synths. Yamaha also re-designed the layout to be more logical. Just looking at the flow of the entire panel is so much easier to follow and work with than previous CS synths. The CS-15 with it's two oscillators can produce everything from punchy bass to screaming leads with an organic quality and life."

LoopA - DIY MIDI Looper Introduction (MIDIbox platform)

Published on May 7, 2018 Hawkeye

"After about three years in the pipeline, we are proud to announce the LoopA v2 [you can find a post from 2015 here]. Thanks to Andy, there are now PCBs - and we have also finished a DIY acrylic case. Public availability (PCB and essential kit for hard-to-get parts) is expected somewhen in June/July, also John from Modularaddict.com did show interest and wants to resell those boards for the U.S. based folks!

The LoopA will definitely not be a beginner DIY project, as some SMD soldering and somewhat precise board interconnection work is needed, but a BOM and a full documentation about the build process will be released, so it should be doable :-). On the plus side you will receive a very compact unit (only 38mm height packing three stacked PCBs), a lot of MIDI interface functionality and a very responsive system that is designed to be "easy to use" and inspirational. Like not starting up your DAW and updating drivers but just sitting at your favourite synth and hacking in some lines! :)

Here are the main features:

* six polynote tracks linked to individual MIDI configurations
* six scenes, allowing for a total of 36 in-memory MIDI clips
* graphical note display on an OLED, that shows clip notes and also edit changes like transposition in realtime
* four MIDI OUT ports, two MIDI IN ports, one OUT port is configured as an optional BLM expansion port (later)
* non-step sequenced recording, clips can be dynamically requantized during live sessions
* note-editor for fixing recording errors
* transposition, scrolling and time-scaling of clips
* disk operations (full recall), storage to SD card
* BPM setting and MIDI sync from "upchain" devices like a master MBSEQ
