VCV Rack Coming to iOS? - miRack for iOS Test Drive


Published on Sep 21, 2019 Sysex|Studio

"Just messing around with the iOS fork of VCV Rack. Great job. Just needs a few improvements for audio routing. Did a quick screen recording of a patch and decided to share."

Yes please...

BOSS Dimension C (DC-2w) + Novation Ultranova | quick test


Published on Sep 21, 2019 sprunging for voltage

"Hello and thanks for stopping by!

This is a very simple sound test of the Novation Ultranova through the BOSS DC-2w Dimension C pedal.

The Ultranova patch is a simple "brass" type sound, which is being sequenced by an Arturia Keystep.

The DC-2w is definitely a pedal to own if you can afford to throw a some money at one. It sounds good with pretty much anything you put through it.

I do not plan to regularly make videos specific to any one pedal, but the occasional pedal video may happen, and I felt this pedal warranted a couple of example videos. I did recently acquire the Plumes by Earthquaker Devices, and it too is lovely. So who knows. Maybe a noisy, over-driven synthing demo will come along at some point. Or I might run some drum machines through it. The Plumes can really get some good crunch on...

With that said, I appreciate you checking out this video. Maybe gently press that Like button, and politely administer some pressure to the Subscribe button, and it's accompanying Bell. But hey, that's up to you. I thank you regardless. Have a lovely synthesizer-filled day.

Ellitone Multi Synth Official Demo


Published on Sep 21, 2019 ellitone instruments


"Now Available on Etsy for $63.99 https://etsy.me/2He86Sf

First, a little story

The Ellitone Multi-Synth was originally released August 2018. It featured a wooden enclosure and home-made CNC circuit boards. We built and shipped 168 of them in this style to amazing experimental musicians all over the world! 24 different countries. Just read the reviews over on our Etsy shop to hear all the wonderful things people had to say about their Multi-Synth!

We quickly realized that this instrument was headed for the Stars! It needed to be experienced by more people. It needed to be re-designed with mass production in mind. So here is the new Ellitone Multi-Synth, You will not find a Synthesizer that can produce more sounds than this thing for the price --- I dare you!

-----------

The Multi-Synth is a family-friendly digital synthesizer that can produce an Amazing variety of sounds powered by its 6 Sound Synthesis Modes.
Each of these 6 Synthesis Modes transform the devices 4 knobs, 4 keys, and center patch bay into new control schemes.

The most important things to know about the Multi-Synth is that it requires 0% knowledge of synthesizers or concepts to Pick up, Patch, and Play.

The Patching Area in the center is arranged in such a way that ANY connection made from one of the 6 Smaller Output Jacks into the 1 Larger Input Jack will make an Immediate change to the sound in some interesting way. This simple concept allows for someone without any knowledge of synthesis terminology to be able to Patch and Play Instantly!

AE MODULAR - First Exploration


Published on Sep 21, 2019 100 Things I Do

"After a little delay my AE Modular system arrived this week. I thought I would share my first explorations with the system. Normally I enjoy using outboard effects to create atmosphere while recording but on this occasion I decided to use only the Audio coming out of the system."

Messssy mess


Published on Sep 21, 2019 juanito moore

"This weekend's hardware challenge was basically 'Make it Messy!' so this is messssssy. I ran patches between oscillators, sequencers, filters and effects without any concern for anything that made sense, just on whims. The result is pretty unpleasant, but hopefully at least slightly interesting.

No voting this weekend, which encourages lack of polish!

Modules used:
Atari Punk Console x1.5
TH-555 VCOs
Ken Stone's Psycho LFO
Thomas Henry's VCF-1s
303-based transistor ladder VCF
MS20 VCFs
808 kick/snare/hat
909 ride cymbal
Three cheap Chinese reverb circuits built into modules. See my other videos coming soon for how to build one they are AMAZING."

Gecho v2 - Recording to micro-SD card


Published on Sep 21, 2019 Gecho Loopsynth

"If you initiate recording in pass-through channel (by holding SET while in channel 123 for mics or 124 for line-in), unprocessed sound will be stored to SD card in wav format. Of course the quality is not at a professional field recorder level, but this one you can always keep in your pocket! :)

I am working on channels that will use the recorded audio in a meaningful way (in current firmware you can only play it back to check what was recorded). And of course, you can put the SD card to your computer and use the material there."

New GS Music Zeus Analog Polyphonic & Apollo Mini Desktop Synthesizers


Zeus analog polyphonic synthesizer demo Published on Sep 21, 2019 GS Music

"A short demo of the sounds that can be achieved with Zeus, the analog polyphonic synthesizer made by GS Music."

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

New synths from GS Music who brought us the Apollo II desktop synth & the Stochastic Inspiration Generator eurorack module. Pics and (Google translated) details of the Apollo Mini follow via http://www.gsmusic.com.ar.

No additional details on the Zeus are up as of this post. Update:details are in:

"Zeus is a multitimbral analog polyphonic synthesizer featuring substractive synthesis. The sound generation is entirely analog. Each voice has two voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), a mixer, a voltage controlled amplifier (VCA). The control signals on each voice are digitally generated by a microcontroller, which is capale of processing three low frequency oscillators (LFO) and two ADSR envelopes (EG). This synthesizer is still a prototype.

Zeus interface was designed to be intuitive with all the controls on the panel. It also features a graphic display to show the different parameters and curves. For example, it can show the envelope curves.

Polyphony: 12
Oscillators: 2 voltage-controlled analog oscillators (VCO) with sub-oscillators. Hard sync.
Oscillators waveshapes: Triangular, Saw-Tri, Sawtooth, Pulse with PWM. It is possible tomix pulse with other waveshape
Filter (VCF): 24dB/oct (4 poles) low pass filter with resonance control
Envelopes: 2* (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release), Velocity to Attack
LFO: 3
LFO waveshapes: Triangular, Rampa up, Rampa down, Square, Sample and Hold
Effects: Chorus, Delay
Presets: TBD
Connections: MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, MIDI Thru, Audio Output (Plug 1/4” TRS balanceado), Sustain, USB, Filter CV, Amplifier CV, Audio input.
Power supply: AC 220V"

"The GS Apollo Mini is an analog subtractive synthesis synthesizer. The sound is generated in a totally analog way, with two voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), a mixer, a voltage controlled filter (VCF) and a voltage controlled amplifier (VCA). The control signals are digitally generated by a microcontroller, which is capable of processing two low frequency oscillators (LFO) and one envelope (EG) of the ADSR type.

The Gs Apollo Mini interface was designed to be simple and intuitive. It has 18 knobs and 3 buttons. It allows to generate a great variety of sounds.
