"Recently serviced and given a clean bill of health from our techs here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, this Prophet is the final iteration of the synth that shaped the '80s and revolutionized the industry, having been subsequently outfitted with MIDI. Founded by Dave Smith in 1974, Sequential Circuits forever changed music technology with the advent of the Prophet 5, which broke new ground as not only the first polyphonic synthesizer to enable players to store and recall presets, but also as the first musical instrument with an embedded microprocessor.
The Prophet 5 features five voice polyphony, and for its principal sound sources each voice contains two VCO's (voltage controlled oscillators), OSC A and OSC B, in addition to a white noise source which can be mixed into a resonant low-pass VCF (voltage controlled filter). The filter modifies the voice timbre under control of its four-stage envelope generator. The filter may also be resonated and serve as a sound source. Following each filter, a VCA (voltage controlled amplifier), also controlled by a four-stage envelope generator, shapes the voice amplitude. Supplementing the basic voices are polyphonic modulation (POLY-MOD) signal routings within each voice that allow OSC B and the filter envelope generator to function as modulation sources applied to OSC A frequency or pulse width, or the filter frequency. Finally, there is a single LFO (low-frequency oscillator) and a pink noise source which can be mixed to modulate all five voices, as adjusted by the MOD wheel. The analog filters, envelope, and LFO are all extremely rich sounding and notably flexible, and the Prophet 5 boasts patch memory storage as well, which scans and memorizes every knob setting for storing and recalling your sounds.

LMNC : Building the Kosmo 1222 Performance VCO
Published on Jan 8, 2020 LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER BUT MORE SERIOUS ISH
"The 1222 Performance VCO is my first Oscillator PCB Design.
Born from frustration of playing shows, or not having a tuner to hand and getting in tune enough to get going, instead of sitting around being out of tune. I tested it on my November tour, and did some fine tweaks to it afterwards.
Its also got an octave knob. a fine tune knob that is exactly an octave with a centre point of C making it easy to find the note you need. it is a rather standard oscillator apart from that, and in my opinion thats what you need.
Big simple controls, pulse width, PWM, fine tune, Extra CV, Sync, FM, Square, Ramp and Triangle outputs.
It also has a rear connection called LINK, which will be for future use, as i will be making an oscillator drive a nice means of driving lots of oscillators at once, as well as a mixer module so no need to patch all of the oscillators together they will be connected from the back. A final design is like a cross mod module that will turn em into a sort of fart box thing. This is all future ideas, but if you cant wait check the schematic it will make sense!
The build is reasonably simple it is explained in videos below. you will need to be able to connect an arduino nano to a computer, the code is available below.
Temperature drift. unknowingly i took these on tour to the extremes of temperatures. they spent most of their time in a 0 degrees celsius van, giving it plenty of time to cool the whole case through. then they were carried into room temperature rooms and immediately sound-checked. Then they slowly heat up throughout the night, and as more people enter the room the hotter the room gets and the hotter the case and oscillators get. the change in tune wasnt massive, only a few cents but i was very thankful for the tuners.. I noticed this effect more at smaller gigs than larger gig. i guess smaller rooms heat up more like a big old oven.
Anyway below is everything you need. any questions fire over, at the bottom is an FAQ with past problems/questions.
The Bill of materials links are the first i got to, if you look around you may find cheaper, these are UK also. if anyone in the US makes a mouser cart, please send my way it would be useful! i will try to make one, however there is no telling when that will happen.
below is the first video on this module, this was before tour, these prototypes i took on tour and they are largely the same as the finished things. The tuner code is a tad more finessed, plus i didn’t spend ages calibrating these!."

Audio Damage Introduces Continua Virtual Analog Synthesizer for Windows, macOS & iPad
Introduction Published on Jan 8, 2020 Audio Damage, Inc.
"A brief overview of Continua, a virtual analog synthesizer for your Windows, macOS, or iPadOS music-making. Continua bucks the current trend of Robocop wavetable synths to bring you a somewhat more chill environment. Morphing oscillators and filters ease your sonic environment in to place, while custom chorus, delay, and reverb algorithms blend it in to a huge and complex soundspace.
Full MPE implementation and modulation routing for days make Continua an incredibly expressive synthesizer, while TUN file loading allows explorations outside equal temperament. A true player's synth, Continua is both bedrock and atmosphere. Try the demo at http://www.audiodamage.com today!"

1 Hour Ambient Music of Casio VL-1 (1979)
Published on Jan 8, 2020 Fahmi M.
"The VL-1 was the first instrument of Casio's VL-Tone product line, and is sometimes referred to as the VL-Tone. It combined a calculator, a monophonic synthesizer, and sequencer. Released in June 1979, it was the first commercial digital synthesizer.
More info :
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_VL-1
*I try to challenge myself to produce a sound experiment - create compositions with the restriction of using only one instrument : Casio VL-1 and with minimal / less effects to the instrument. (less is more - truth of the material). Designed for acousmatic and deep listening experience."
