Moog One V1.0.1 Update


The first update for the Moog One is available here. The following are the release notes. You'll find a list of known issues being worked on below.

V1.0.1 RELEASE NOTES

1. MIDI improvements: Hardware now sends and receives MIDI Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel (CC 1), Aftertouch (Channel Pressure), and MIDI CCs for Pad X (CC 75), Pad Y (CC 76), and Pad Pressure (CC 77). Each Synth can send/receive on its own independent MIDI Channel, or they can all use the same channel.

2. Increased gain of external microphone input.

3. Refined operation of Unison mode: Fixed issues with notes re-triggering on release, or re-triggering while Unison
Detune is adjusted.

"If you're here, you probably already know how much of a diamond in the rough this synth is. DSP based analog modeling, 5 octave keyboard, ribbon controller and mod wheel, each patch can have two scenes (layers). 10 voice mono-timbral, 5 voice bi-timbral, 2 oscillators per voice, eight assignable knobs allow complete control of all parameters, arpeggiator and sequencer. It also has FEG (free envelope generator), which is a way of recording up to 48 secs of movement/automation for four parameters per patch. Honestly, most VSTs still can't compare to this lowkey 90s gem. To my ears, it's my favorite VA, outside of maybe the Virus."

See this post for additional info and demos of the Atnonus 2600 clone.

"The Antonus is an ARP 2600 clone, based on TTSH format but using a different pcb and with some adjustment and tweaking (to improve upon the TTSH and get it closer to the grey-face 2600 sound). This Antonus was built in 2014 for its current owner and only lightly used. The condition of this synth is near mint and it is in full working order."

Synth Magic Chroma Polaris for Kontakt 5.8.1 and higher


Published on Nov 1, 2018 Synth Magic

"www.synthmagic.co.uk/polar.html
Pre-order period (only £30 during pre-order rising to £50 after pre-order)Currently, more presets are being designed during the pre-order period and will also be included.
a Kontakt instrument based on the Chroma Polaris Synthesiser. Polar uses a 4.2GB collection of sounds made on a real Polaris and comes with full effects section and a sequencer."


"Based on the Chroma Polaris, Polar is a Kontakt 5.8.1 and higher (full version of Kontakt is required and not the free player)library of sounds created on a Chroma Polaris analogue synth and then sampled.

The Chroma Polaris is a real beauty of a synth capable of creating lush sounds and also hard edged sounds with a strong gritty analogue tone and yet you can definitely hear the ARP synthesisers heritage in its sound.

I absolutely love the Chroma Polaris and wanted to ensure I captured the heart and soul of this beautiful sounding synth, so it has been a bit of a labour of love for me. All of the raw OSC's have been sampled and a large variety of presets and custom sounds have been sampled. All samples are available within the instrument via waveform menus for immediate access(and streamed from hard drive), no messing around loading in different sample sets - Polar is quick and easy to use.

Polar will provide you with the beautiful Polaris strings, synths, analogue keys, a beautiful analogue Polaris piano, leads, synth tones, basses etc. The user interface graphics were designed in a country known for great design : Sweden, by world renowned graphic interface designer - Anders Hedstrom. The effects section has some nice features including the delay and reverb sends can be controlled by your Modwheel - It is great fun to have the arp or the sequencer running and then push your modwheel to bring in reverbs and delays

In making Polar, we sampled a large and wide range of sounds from the Polaris and presented them in a easy to use waveform menu x 2 and we also added multiple filters and MIDI syncable LFO's, an arpeggiator and and a wide range of effects. Also included is a fun and easy to use sequencer which can sequence notes, octave and note length, filter cutoff, resonance, reverb and delay sends. Sequencer has randomise functions, shift left/right, inverse etc it is childs play to come up with groovy sequencers and then transpose them using your keyboard.

Polar comes with over 200 snapshots (and I'm still creating and adding more snapshots during pre-order period) so you can get to use the great sounds of the Chroma Polaris in your productions."

Midilar & VCV Rack - First Patch


Published on Nov 5, 2018 Omri Cohen

"A few days ago I got a prototype of Midilar, a modular MIDI controller. You can switch between modules and customize it, and it can control anything that can be controlled by MIDI, like DAWs, Soft Synths, and Hardware. This video is my first patch with it using VCV Rack, and I'm controlling Plaits (Macro Oscillator 2) and Grids (Topograph) from Mutable Instruments, Plateau from Valley, Trummor 2 and Tangents from Vult, and the Delay from AS.
I have it assigned to various parameters in VCV Rack, and I'm playing everything live.
Here is how the patch looks like - http://bit.ly/2RyVojD"
