"Get under the hood of the Circuit synth engine

Easy-to-use graphical user interface for accessing the super-powerful Circuit synth engine

Picking up where Novation's popular Circuit Macro Editor left off, Circuit Synth Editor enables control over sounds by editing Circuit's two synths. It delivers an easy-to-use editor, perfect for getting under the hood of the whole Circuit synth engine. Circuit Synth Editor is fully integrated into the Components content manager for fast, stable performance. It's available now at components.novationmusic.com.

Key features

View output waveforms

Using the drop-down menu, it's possible to choose the oscillator wave type from the Classic wave types and Wavetable types. Having selected a wavetable type, it's then possible to select the waves within the table using the Index control, and select the amount of interpolation between the waves using the Interpolate control. The graphic display of the waveform changes to reflect the output waveform, taking into account the Index and Interpolate controls.

In-depth LFO editing

Controls for LFOs 1 and 2 are presented when the LFO tab is selected. There's a visual representation of the LFO type, as well as a drop-down box to select the LFO type. Controls for Rate and Delay are grouped, and common settings are arranged to the right. The large 1 and 2 on the left-hand side select between LFOs 1 and 2. All other controls on the tab update when these large numbers are selected.

Roel Reine - Modular Beginnings

Published on Jul 22, 2018 Roel Reine

"Performance at home studio of a new song composed and performed with my Eurorack Modular synth. I call it Modular Beginnings, because it should be the first song of a complete Modular Eurorack Synth album that I want to make this year. In between working on all my other movie and tv-series projects. So this should be the beginning.

No computers were used in the performance of this song. All modular Eurorack synths, recorded live in a single take and into the ER-301 module."

Digitakt VS DrumBrute Impact - Workflow Comparison

Published on Jul 23, 2018 BoBeats

"In todays video we are doing a workflow comparison between the Digitakt and the new DrumBrute Impact. They are very different but a lot of people have been asking me about which one to get. Sound wise not comparable (one sample based one analog) but workflows you can compare."

The Merce Cunningham Dance Company’s Variations V

Variations V (1966) - Merce Cunningham Dance Company Published on Oct 14, 2013

"Merce Cunningham
1966, 49:05, b&w, sound

First composed and performed in 1965, 'Variations V' is a true testament to 1960's experiments with "intermedia"—a coexistence and cutting across of artistic genres that profoundly informed Cunningham's choreographic practice. Video is materially integrated into the performance, with projections by Stan VanDerBeek and overlaid TV distortions by Nam June Paik enveloping the dancers. Twelve sound-sensitive electronic poles dot the stage; sound is triggered by the dancers' movements and then altered or delayed by the musicians. 'Variations V' predates Cunningham's 'video-dances,' demonstrating a different moment in his relation to the technology.

MUSICIANS John Cage 'Variations V'
DANCERS Merce Cunningham, Carolyn Brown, Barbara Lloyd, Sandra Neels, Albert Reid, Peter Saul, Gus Solomons Jr.

Polyphonic Synth Prototype by cnagorka

Published on May 9, 2018 cnagorka

Playlist:

1. Polyphonic Synth prototype demo

"A crude voice board made of twelve schmitt-trigger oscillators and twelve binary dividers hooked up to an organ keyboard. Sounds great!"

2. DIY Polyphonic keyboard update...

"This monstrous thing is making some good sounds...but there's a long way to go. This is demonstrating two oscillators, when the final product will 'go to 11' (oscillators, that is)."

Univox Mini-Korg 700 K1 keyboard synthesizer w/ orig case SN 1690

via this auction

"The first synthesizer ever made by Korg in 1973, this original Univox Mini-Korg synthesizer is in excellent condition! This instrument is a lovely little analogue synth capable of fat Moog-like tones. These are really unique synths made with high-quality Japanese engineering, style, and cosmetic beauty.

This synthesizer’s sole owner took great care of the instrument and its original UNIVOX case (RARE), which is also included in the sale. The outside of the case is protective and in great condition with all latches and hinges working perfectly. The foam on the inside of the case is brittle from age and is easily replaced."

Simmons Digital Clap Trap Drum Percussion Synthesizer

via this auction

"The Simmons Clap Trap is a rare and early electronic drum module. Capable of producing some pretty gnarly sounds that you might not usually associate with a hand clap. Can be triggered by audio or manually. Double your snares with the Clap Trap for fattening or feature the instrument all on its own. This fun little toy is prefect for producers looking to add out of the box textures to their tracks!"

Update: This is Digital as the name of the unit states, and not analog as the title of the auction listing states.  Thanks goes to alx @t0neburst for catching it!
