"Almost good condition but unfortunately LFO doesn't work. Other part works well and sounds beefy and cool analogish. 2VCO duo-phonic notes, you can play bass and melody at the same time. Unique Touch sense mod, filter, and Ring modulator, useful function.

Teisco is famous as 1960's unique electric guitar however, they made Kawai Musical Instruments Synthesizer in the 80's and this licensed by ARP."

K-Board Pro 4 meets Deckard's Dream

Published on Aug 27, 2019 Keith McMillen Instruments

"We play a bit of the old classic Blade Runner soundtrack on the Deckard's Dream synth. Really beautiful sounding machine, and responds wonderfully to the subtle MPE stylings of the y-axis and x-axis vibrato."

Quick Tip: Bouncing Ball Effect With Two LFOs Tutorial

Published on Aug 27, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Here is a quick tip on how to make a bouncing ball modulation effect.

You will need:
- a synthesizer with two LFOs with sawtooth/ramp waveforms.

The patch:
- The first LFO is set to a slower speed and is ramping up
- The first LFO modulates the speed of the second LFO which is faster and ramp down waveform
- The second LFO modulates the filter or VCA

This patch makes the sound of a ball bouncing since there is an opening and closing of a VCA or VCF that continues to speed up the way the bouncing of a ball speeds up as it gets closer to the ground. This is achieved by having a slow ramp up LFO (this is creating the increasing speed) modulate a second LFO that is generating each bounce. To get a gated sound modulate the filter or amplifier with the second LFO, or try modulating something different like the pulse width of an oscillator or the dry wet mix of an effect.

If your LFOs have linear and exponential waveforms try different ones for different speed increasing ramps that sound more or less natural.

Waldorf Quantum - testing a Prophet VS wavetable! No effects!

Published on Aug 27, 2019 Don Solaris

"Enough with washed in reverb Quantum demos! This is the RAW sound of Quantum playing one single wavetable i recently built from the ROM of Sequential Prophet VS synthesizer. This is a direct audio, no effects, just basic realtime tweaking of the wavetable. There are many more built. Check Gearslutz forum, Quantum thread for details (around date Aug 27)."

Radiator update!

Published on Aug 27, 2019 Neon Captain

"We brought Radiator prototypes to SELEM (South Eastern Laser Enthusiasts Meeting). SELEM is the largest gathering of Laserists in the United States and the perfect setting to introduce the Radiator into the Laserist community.

The Radiator was very enthusiastically received (many of the SELEM attendees were Kickstarter backers) and during the week we gathered pages and pages of feedback and notes that we're using to make the Radiator even more amazing.

Right now we're concentrating on optimizing the abstract engine and expanding the color modulation effects. As you can see in this video, the output is buttery smooth and HSV (the Radiator supports HSV and RGB color spaces) color manipulation makes for some really cool effects."
