"1970's Crumar CPB-2 bass synthesizer pedal system in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Unlike the bass pedal extensions that were offered with many combo organs in the years preceding the Crumar CPB-2, this unit is a powered, self-contained bass pedal system, with VCF parameters for envelope, cutoff, and resonance. Able to produce a Moog-esque thickness and width, this Crumar offers 13 pedals and a wide range of easily accessible options with large buttons that make it easy to switch settings on the fly either by selecting the footswitches or moving the oversized Sustain and Volume wheels. The 32'/16' switch essentially controls the depth of the signal, while the Doubling switch has a chorusing sound. The Waveform switch alternates between a smoother, warmer sound and a signal that has a bit of bark and fuzziness. And lastly, a tuning knob makes it very easy to tweak the CPB-2 and ensure it's always at concert pitch."

"1980's Roland RS-09 Organ/Strings analog synthesizer in exceptional condition and in good working order. Just imported directly from Japan, this synth is near mint and complete with its original brown leather carrying case. The Roland RS-09 is a 44 key, fully polyphonic bi-timbral (organ and string) analog synthesizer, featuring tone control, chorus, and vibrato. The string sound and organ sounds are all analog and can be played simultaneously or individually. An ensemble/chorus effect adds depth to the sound and is derived from Roland's famous chorus effect. It's a very easy to use yet versatile synth with an oscillator section and 2-vco architecture."

Switchable outputs from pre VCO to VCO input out. 3 Leds show the state and speed of the gates that chop, blend and send the input to the VCO. The VCO has an input and range control for twisting and modifying the output and input of the VCO! confused? just watch the video!!!! ENJOY"

Live Granular effect in MaxforLive based on Mutable Instruments Clouds

Published on Sep 18, 2018 Bálint Baráth

"GrainCloud, a MaxforLive device based on mdeGranular~. It models the Mutable Instruments Clouds eurorack modul with some extra features.

You should first set the maximum voices you want to use then set how much voices the left and right channels will use during your performance. Except the tuning list you can set all parameters for left and right channels separately.

You can download it through this link:

Thanks for Michael Norris and Olivier Gillet!

The track was made in Ableton Live 10 with Arturia soft synths and some custom effects and audio units.
The video was made with Screenflow."

New Vector Hardware Desktop Synthesizer In the Works

Published on Sep 18, 2018 Vector

Update:

I took a closer look at the video and the image to the left. It looks like the Orbit and Suborbit controls are for the vector portions of the synth engine. If you are not familiar with vector synthesis, it was introduced with the Sequential Circuits Prophet-VS. That tech made it to the Yamaha SY22 and TG-33, and finally the KORG Wavestation. In short, you have four oscillators that you can morph between with either a joystick or a modulation source. The Orbit and Suborbit controls appear to be the modulators as you can see on the screen. It's similar to being able to record and playing joystick movement on the SY22 and TG33. It's also similar to the paths in Moog's Animoog app.

Below is a list of controls I spotted in the video and the image. If I missed any, feel free to leave a comment. Note Vector synths typically have four oscillators. The screen in the video only shows two, so we will have to wait and see. You can see the synth features overdrive, reverb, delay, and chorus effects. There is also an arpeggiator and audio iput.

Update2: grabbed a screen of the quick front panel flash in the video. Click on it to zoom in a little. You should be able to read most of the controls.
