"This module uses the same blackbox technique as the Shat-noir Phaser.
The VCF is based on the Steiner diode VCF but this one uses LDRs rather than diodes and a CV control system to suit. The nice thing about this filter is you can feed different signals to the LP, BP & HP inputs then surf between them with your CV, quite different from regular filters.
The VCA is really there to use up a spare op amp and is based on the Korg PS3100 VCA, works very well for what it is.
"Here's the new AJH Synth V Shape. A wave twist and distortion unit. It offers skewing/PWM-like sounds that almost get to rectification and folding like tones up top and then underneath we get a soft or hard clipping distortion with an added soft wave folder. The device is on the slightly softer side which keeps it very musical without getting too harsh in it's shaping or distortion. Couple it with the Wave Swarm or Ring SM and there's a tonne of potential shaping from the AJH range.
TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS
00:00 Welcome, hello, patch previews "what's to come"
01:05 Features, wave twisting, PWM-like FX, distortion, soft/hard clipping and wave folding run down along with the routing options.
02:39 Shape/Twist sound demo - triangle waves (with and without modulation)
03:52 Shape/Twist sound demo - saw waves (with and without modulation)
04:16 Distortion/Folder demo - triangle wave and soft clipping "come make sine waves!"
04:40 Distortion/Folder demo - triangle wave and hard clipping
04:54 Shaper into the Distortion
05:30 Distortion/Folder demo - wave folding with Batman ears. Looking at both soft and hard clipping stages as part of the folding.
06:00 Modulation the distortion/fold and doing so up to audio rates.
06:48 Creating a weird shaping VCA. This uses the distortion section like a VCA and using envelopes we can get some quirky VCA like functionality. The shaper is used to make PWM-like FX.
09:43 Using the V Shape to twist, fold and distort LFO signals.
11:57 Shaping envelope CV signals
13:17 A distortion like FX device for processing drums. Drive, glitch and fuzziness comes out :)
14:58 A new piece of music to release from this thing! Using both processors in the unit as a parallel processing unit to create dual layers to spread around a patch.
17:32 Using the V Shape to twist and distort already moving/morphing waves. I use a lo-fi morphing wavetable at the input for even further modulation and animation.
19:14 Dual channel functionality. Using one side of this for bass sound and the other for a melodic lead line."
"An old Yamaha QX5 sequencer that was collecting dust for decades, and needed some repair (the LCD was fading). It was cleaned, fixed, and is working. I had only a blue LCD, so now it has a new look.
The soundtrack is the Arduino Clock Divider Logic thing, Arduino CV Quantizer, 3 VCOs, 3 VCFs, 3 VCAs, 3 ADSRs and 2 LFOs (analog modules from Matrix II analog synth and MSB Modular Synth B), everything built here at the 'Sbranvlztronics Labs' :) (watch the other videos in this channel in case you have interest in analog synthesizer modules).
Thanks for watching."
"KORG analog synths are in an absolute golden age with four massive-sounding offerings for musicians and producers at all levels. The KORG prologue 16 and prologue 8 are performance analog synthesizers with crisp VCOs and an all-new open source digital MULTI ENGINE oscillator for endless user customization; the KORG minilogue is a compact 4-voice analog synth that’s not only affordable and easy to use, but has become an all-star fan favorite among synthesizer power-users and musicians new to synthesizers alike; and the KORG monologue is a 2-VCO monosynth capable of screaming leads and fat basses that far exceed its small, battery-powered size.
Connect all four via USB to your computer to seamlessly sync MIDI and step up your synth sounds and let your creativity flow!"
is a first digital modules of error instruments
and then we look for the sound as raw as possible.
but then digitally. think of glitch or fax or modem sounds c64 game sounds from years 80, s 90, s. but also minimal bleeps. microsound. dragging tones.noise drone. lofi drum loops, you'll find sweet spots.
in more than 70 algorithms that modulate each other.
"The UNO Synth Editor is a plug-in and standalone app that lets you access all the parameters of IK’s groundbreaking UNO Synth, the real analog synthesizer for everyone. The Editor lets you go beyond the front panel controls and access deeper programming settings like full 4-stage ADSR envelopes for both filter and amplitude, pulse width and waveform shape modulation of the oscillators, modulation wheel assignments, velocity control and much more. The Editor does not make sound on its own. Rather, it is a controller for the UNO Synth hardware that gives you remote control of this innovative instrument from your computer or mobile device. Learn more at http://www.unosynth.com/editor
UNO Synth is our first entry in the hardware synthesizer world. We have created a no-compromise instrument with massive analog sound that’s also easy to use with hands-on programmability and advanced features at an unbeatable price. With both classic and modern synth sounds instantly at hand, UNO will put a smile on the face of synth fans of every musical genre. All this in a synth module that can be easily carried anywhere.
