"Although the voyage may have ended at the Moog factory, the journey continues on, as there as such lovely examples of the Voyager synthesizer still floating around. This is an Electric Blue Edition, sn EB0728, and although there a few small nicks in the finish, it is ready to set sail. Is that good for sailing metaphors? I hope so. Synth is tested, sounds and functions wonderfully, and will be lovingly packed. Includes Moog ATA Case w/ wheels and handle and 'Voyager' branded dust cover."

Dreadbox Typhon Meets Elektron Digitone

andy carter

"I borrowed a friends Elektron Digitone for a week and experimented with connecting the Typhon to it directly.
The Digitone has 4 midi tracks besides it's 4 internal FM engine based tracks, i wrote a simple midi pattern to trigger the Typhon.

They make a good pairing i think."

And a couple more of just the Dreadbox Typhon by andy carter including one of the interface:

Dreadbox Typhon - Tekkaz Test1

andy carter

"Just a quick demo of my new Dreadbox Typhon. It's a cool little synth, sounds great, the fx,modulation, and sequencer are good fun to use and manipulate.
It's very hands-on, you can get lost tweaking it.

Will be really good for playing live with, jamming different presets and stuff."

Dreadbox Typhon - is the screen and slider interface a pain to use?


"I saw quite a lot of concerns about the screen and slider interface that the Typhon uses, so, as there is not a lot of these synths out in the wild at the moment i thought I'd try to make a video showing it being tweaked by a rather average user - me!

I think it's pretty simple to use, and is mostly one page that you scroll left and right through, though sometimes you have a second page, but that's not on many functions.

Anyway, hope this video is helpful! : )"

Novation Summit with OOLLUU (live) @ the HoMie Warehouse

Thanks to our friends at Focusrite, Novation, Avid, Bitwig Studio, Blue Microphones & MXL Microphones."

MUSON SYNTHESIZER Custom Knob Hack

We Hacked A $500 VINTAGE TOY SYNTHESIZER Simon The Magpie

"With some help from my good buddy JW OTTO I finally hacked the MUSON SYNTHESIZER! No bending = super safe diy. It’sstill a pain to use.. but a cooler pain now (insertcoolemoji)"

So that's how the Muson works. Interesting hack. The colored "switches" or rather patch points have different levels of resistance to alter the pitch and sequence. So why not make replacement switches with knobs/potentiometers to attenuate the connection?

Model:Cycles and Roland SE-02 session at Patchwerks!

"In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) jams with the Elektron Model:Cycles and the Roland SE-02. The Model:Cyles is the source for all the percussion, leads, and chords while the SE-02 is the proud supplier of the bassline. The idea behind this video was to a digital drum machine/groovebox with a fully analog synthesizer. The Model:Cycles is unable to hide its digital quality and I would have it no other way, that goes for the SE-02 and it's warm analog sound.

From Roland: "A collaborative effort from Roland and Studio Electronics, the SE-02 is the debut product of the new Roland Boutique Designer Series. The SE-02 uses authentic discrete analog circuitry to create a synthesizer with a distinctly vintage sound and vast programming options. With an array of high-quality knobs and switches and a uniquely creative onboard sequencer, the SE-02 delivers massive tone and texture with expressive hands-on control."

From Elektron: "Scale angles dense and jagged, glide over plains vast and fluid, or sink into mists of dissonance. To model is to shape the formless. Model:Cycles is a six track FM based groovebox that brings exploring into the heart of sound sculpting. With six unique Machines in one lightweight unit you can effortlessly mold rhythm and melody across the digital spectrum using instant, tactile controls. Exploration made attainable."

The world of MicroTuning // Novation Live

NovationTV

"In this livestream -CALC- explores the vast world of MicroTuning - looking at what MicroTuning actually means, how to use it musically and how you can create your own MicroTuning tables from scratch and using existing resources. In this live -CALC- uses the Novation Summit alongside the Peak and Bass Station II, which have very powerful MicroTuning systems.

SOMA Lab ORNAMENT-8 Organismic Sequencer

ORNAMENT-8 organismic sequencer. Demo (SOMA Lab)

Vlad Kreimer

"An experimental analog modular sequencer based on a completely new principle of synthesis of behaviour."

ORNAMENT-8 example of performance. (demo by SOMA laboratory)

via SOMA Lab

"ORNAMENT can be controlled via Eurorack-compatible Control Voltage. The output of ORNAMENT is also standard CV signals that can control LYRA-8, PULSAR-23, Eurorack systems and any equipment that can receive CV, including non-audio ones such as lighting setups or electromechanical installations. For controlling LYRA-8 we developed a special adapter for easy connection to the LYRA sensors while also preserving the ability to play it normally with your fingers.

The adapter attaches to LYRA’s surface using magnets which make installation easy and safe. ORNAMENT, as an organismic sequencer, complements LYRA’s organismic synthesis nature, making them a perfect pair.

ORNAMENT-8 is based on a completely new principle of synthesis of behaviour. Instead of a vertical structure with a tempo generator on top and some memory for storing sequenced events, we have a dynamic equilibrium inside a horizontal structure without any memory, just an infinite “now” that generates the next moment of behaviour. In certain key aspects, it resembles a neural network where there is no difference between “processor” and “memory”, where functions are blurred and all structures are very flexible. Because the ORNAMENT is fully modular, you can connect any number of ORNAMENTs into a single network, creating very complex multi-dimensional structures with the same complex behaviour. For those with philosophical inclinations, ORNAMENT is a playground the size of a box of chocolates where you can study fundamental laws of life and society, going beyond linear logical thinking.

ORNAMENT-8 was designed by Vadim Minkin, the new creative mind who recently joined SOMA laboratory. ORNAMENT is intended to be the first in a line of SOMA sequencers developing new principles of behaviour generation and control."
