Note MOS-LAB also made KOBOL Clones.

This one was spotted and sent in via M Me.

"You canmodulate a lot using control voltages:
The VCO’s waveform, LFO rate, resonance, attack time, decay time, sustainlevel, release time (Exp. II)!


The RSF Kobol was the French synth company's firstcompact keyboard synthesizer, certainly inspired by the Minimoog. It is a muchmore compact instrument than the Modular Model 11 series of synthesizers theyhad been making thus far. It is a monophonic analog synthesizer withtraditional controls, knobs, switches and two oscillators for a good solidanalog synth sound. Initally released as a keyboard in 1978, a 3-unitrack-mount system was later released in 1979.

0-coast ambient: shadows of self

Published on Jan 6, 2020 C Nich0lls

"Synth performance featuring the MakeNoise 0-Coast synthesizer and System Cartesian. The main theme of the track is a single-take and unedited performance on the 0-coast, being sequenced by MakeNoise Rene 2.

the shadows we cast

Patch and Recording Notes

This track revisits some ideas from earlier recordings in regards to how the melodic motif is developed. The Korg SQ-1 sequencer from previous videos is replaced by the MakeNoise Rene 2 sequencer as part of the System Cartesian. The actual sequences of pitches is fixed throughout, however the output of the 0-Coast is ‘double gated’ through the MakeNoise LxD and Moddemix from the System Cartesian. These gates are individually opened by channels 1 and 4 of Maths.

The contour shapes of Maths are continuously altered throughout the performance which ‘window’s the melody in different ways. It is experienced as a set of possible intervallic gestures rather than a single melodic line. Additionally the sequence lengths of the X,Y,Z layers of the Rene 2 are slightly different, which further obscures the underlying consistency of the pitch sequence.

The audio is principally the 0-Coast’s oscillator which is FM’ed by the sine output of the MakeNoise STO (again from the System Cartesian). Both oscillators are tracking the pitch from Rene’s X layer, but there is additional modulation from 0-Coast Contour to create a short ‘burst’ in the attack. This is a fairly basic analogue FM implementation and I plan on exploring this further in future recordings.

There are 3 independent recordings (each recorded in a single take and with no further editing) in the final track. The first is the melodic contour, the second is a noisy tone created by driving the random source on the 0-Coast with the oscillator square wave at audio rate and then FM’ing the main oscillator. This is driven by the exact same sequence as the melodic layer, but performed differently; essentially layering windows upon windows.

The last layer is a ‘kick’ drum built by using a fast decay contour to modulate the 0-Coast oscillator. This layer has the 1V/oct tracking disconnected and is then hand tuned to the other tracks.

All tracks were recorded through a custom Non-Linear reverb patch from the Strymon BigSky, with the first 2 tracks also being recorded through a custom Lo-Fi patch on the Strymon TimeLine.

There is some attention paid to maintaining the rhythmic coherence between the 3 layers, but I don’t lose sleep over it. As usual, this is something to do with observing the relationship between human and machine that is clearly an obsession.

For the original ‘demo’ version that was recorded solely with the System Cartesian, check out my SoundCloud.

Frap Tools Falistri Dual Movement Manager Overview by Learning Modular

Published on Jan 7, 2020 Learning Modular

"The Falistri Movement Manager is loosely based on a Buchla-style function generator – but it goes far beyond that, including the addition of a pair of flip-flops (frequency dividers), a four-quadrant (balanced, or “ring”) modulator, and linear slew generator that can be used by the function generators in the module or external modules.

I cover the Falistri in four movies: a basic overview, advanced envelope generator tricks, using it as an LFO, and using it as a VCO.

My Patreon supporters will have access to additional posts further discussing these features: https://www.patreon.com/LearningModular

The Galaxy Electric - Cosmic Tape Music - Improvised Modular Performance - Into the Unknown

Premiered Jan 2, 2020 The Galaxy Electric

Also see Buchla Cosmic Drone Sessions by The Galaxy Electric

"Thanks for listening! Come on a musical voyage with us where we'll send you a new song every day, a cosmic story, and a chance to earn space treasure: https://thegalaxyelectric.lpages.co/5...

This is the first installment of a series of improvised modular synth performance mixed with pop elements - female vocals and mellotron.
These elements combined with a tempo synchronized looping technique provide a rich sonic landscape of cosmic texture inspired by the early electronic and tape music innovators. This music is especially inspired by Space Age era electronic music. The effects are spring reverb, tape delay and the occasional reversing of the recorded phrase. Our goal is to combine analog and digital technology to recreate this early electronic music tonal variety in an improvised setting.

Quasimidi Sirius - Waveform Deep Dive - Episode 1

Published on Jan 7, 2020 Electronisounds Audio

"I am in love with the vintage Quasimidi Sirius Synth / Groovebox!
Here we take a long listen to ONE WAVEFORM - #52:SpecBC
It has a wonderful and wide *range of sound* from low to hi octaves, and sounds really lovely through the built in reverb, delay and 24db LP Filter of the Sirius!
Riffer (from AudioModern) on iPad is feeding the midi notes to the Sirius, and the beat is provided by the Elektron Digitakt!"
