Metasonix RK5 Dual Low Pass Gate

Published on Dec 30, 2019 CatSynth TV

"We explore the Metasonix RK5 Dual Low Pass Gate. A lowpass gate is essentially a low pass VCF configured to behave like a VCA. The RK5 is a unique take on the LPG with two independent channels that have their own sonic characteristics. It is extremely simple, with just input, output and a single CV per channel. We demonstrate it with envelopes as CV and a variety of input spirses.

From metasonix.com
'Since part of our remit is to explore an electronic-music history that didn’t actually happen, one inevitable product would have been a lowpass gate. Our version is a dual unit, dead simple Sallen-Key filter with just input, output and CV input for each channel. The tube used is a “high-perveance” dissimilar dual triode, the 17JK8. It was apparently intended for use as a “cascode” RF front-end amplifier in cheap consumer FM radios.'"

Jupiter 4-6-8 Jamming

Published on Dec 29, 2019 synthlegends

"Little improvised Roland Jam Session of TR-808, JP-4, JP-6, JP-8 and Juno-60.

I like the idea of old school Roland machines for spontaneous jamming via the three trigger outs of the TR-808.
In this recording I didn't use any effects or mastering. So all instruments are pure mixed into the audio interface and DAW.

The JP-4 played a pulse wave bass line with sub oszilator in random arpeggio mode, only played a C with hold the arp -so easy, isn't it?

The JP-8 played an arpeggio line with the UP-Mode and Range 2, it is a simple saw and pulse wave mixed and minimal filter opened 24 dB.

The Juno-60 plays a Pad sound with an inverted filter envelope for rising the filter in the release phase. There is a bit LFO on the PWM, it is also mixed with the Suboszilator.

The JP-6 plays a bell tone with band pass filter and a bit resonance.

Have fun and a happy new year!"
