Humble Audio Quad Operator & Algo Eurorack Four Operator FM Oscillator

Published on Jun 14, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Humble Audio's two modules, the Quad Operator and Algo are a powerful four operator FM oscillator bank for your eurorack system. Read our Signal article for more information on the Quad Operator and FM synthesis https://www.perfectcircuit.com/signal...

The Quad Operator has a full 4x4 modulation matrix for modulating any of the operators with any of the others. It is even possible for an operator to modulate itself and quickly turn into noise. The operators can be locked into harmonic ratios for creating melodic sounds or can be used in free running mode to create detuned metallic percussion sounds. The Algo adds a macro control to the Quad Operator so that you can morph between two different sounds."

Brooklyn Synth Expo 2019 Recap

"Brooklyn, 06.14.2019 - This year the organizers of the Brooklyn Synth Expo (and its sister event the Stompbox Exhibit, now part of it) were able to take the event one step up with the adoption of a new large and suggestive venue in East Williamsburg, and the addition of informative classes and presentations - including a live performance by synthesist extraordinaire Lisa Bella Donna to close day one [third video in the playlist above and posted here].

Roughly 2,000 musicians attended the expo, evenly divided between guitarists and synth-heads, but with a good share of players interested in both formats.

The educational side of the show included a memorable class on FM synthesis by Yamaha's own Phil Clendeninn, a discussion about MPE featuring reps from ROLI and Sensel, introductory Eurorack courses curated by STEM Modular, and classes on synthesis by NYC music school 343Labs.com (who also shot this video of the event) [second video in the playlist above]. A more DIY walkthrough of the Synth side of the show can be seen here [first video in the playlist above].

Several synth companies used the stage to present their new products recently introduced at Berlin's Superbooth; the Brooklyn show's timing works well in this regard, being the first relevant synth event in the US after the big German synth convention, including the new and yet unreleased Motor Synth by Gamechanger Audio. The Latvian company's reps sported classy red and black clothing in perfect Kraftwerk style.

The Synth Expo organizers have other events coming up: the next one will be another synth and pedal expo called Sonic Circuits in collaboration with Montreal's electronic festival MUTEK on August 24-25."

Synth Rorschach #60: The Outer Limits

This Synth Rorschach in via Atomic Shadow.

"Is It A Synth? No. It's from the first episode of The Outer Limits which aired in September, 1963. The Galaxy Being starred Cliff Robertson as a radio station owner who used his transmitter to reach out across the galaxy. After establishing contact with a being from another world, a series of events (brought about by his carping wife) leads to the physical transmission of the Galaxy Being to Earth. A heavy handed moral about the human race being prone to violence ensues.

The episode has some great examples of mid 20th century Gizmology. Gizmology is term that I coined to describe movie tech that is designed to look all "Science-y". If you look at the photo, you see what appears to be a Eurorack synth! Just out of the frame, on the right, there is the obligatory reel to reel tape recorder. In those days if you wanted your set to look like real science, you had to have an oscilloscope displaying a sine wave and a tape recorder. This episode lacks a scope, but makes up for it with that crazy nest of wires.

An article about the episode here...

I started watching that episode on Prime the other night. When that scene happened I thought, 'How did Cliff Robertson get his hands on Richard Divine's euro rig? In 1963!'."


Bottom reminds me of Dewanatron meets Folktek. Top right reminds me of Anyware's Tinysizer.

"A few snippets of my live performance on 9. May 2019 at the Filmrauschpalast Moabit, Berlin.
This performance was live music to a video of a patchwork of old movie scenes.
It had 3 different parts.

I used 2 iPads with Borderland and Samplr APP, an Elektron Digitone, a Nord A1R Synth and an Ecler Mixer."

PPG 314 + KORG MS-20

Published on Jan 24, 2009 listentomerijn

"PPG 314 clocked sequential control (sound = KORG MS-20)"

This one was spotted and sent in via John L Rice. Not the longest video, but definitely not something you see every day - a super rare PPG 314.

Chetaah MS800

"Cheetah MS800 Digital Wave Synthesizer: Multitrack demo with FX and the TR 606 (Korg Volca Sample Set). The MS 800 is hard to program, it is a small digital synth with lots of aliasing and a raw digital sound. Best known for Aphex Twins album 'Cheetah'."
