Introducing the Hummingbird Triple Oscillator Bank

Patchwerks Seattle

Note this is the first Northwest Synthesizers post. You can find the Hummingbird here.

"In this video resident expert Nick Bigelow presents us with the new triple oscillator bank module called the Hummingbird by Northwest Synthesizers.

The Hummingbird is a three oscillator, 20HP Eurorack module that has a recognizable front panel layout with some familiar control features.

Hummingbird allows the creation of a Warm "FAT" sound that normally is not associated with a digital oscillator module.

There are three oscillator CV inputs for 1v/octave sources. All three oscillators can be controlled from a single CV input, or each one can be controlled separately. There is also a modulation CV input with a variable gain control. The modulation input always controls all three oscillators and can (via a toggle switch) either control the pitch of all 3 oscillators or can vary the waveform selection of all 3 oscillators.

Each oscillator has an octave adjust control which gives a range from two octaves below to two octaves above the control voltage input. Oscillators two and three also have a variable pitch adjustment with a range from 5 semitones down to 7 semitones up from the control voltage input, continuously variable with a clean "unison" center adjustment range to allow a quick return to "no pitch offset".

All three oscillators have a waveform adjustment control that allows selecting from triangle, to ramp (sawtooth), to square, to narrow pulse. The transition between waveforms is continuous to allow an almost infinite pallet of output waveforms.

Each oscillator has a separate output jack to allow for multiple routing destinations. Oscillator 1 has an additional "Sub" output which is a square wave one octave below Osc1's basic pitch. Also provided is a single "summed" oscillator output jack. This summed output always mixes equal amounts of Osc 1, 2 and 3 along with an adjustable amount of the Osc 1 Sub output.

Substantia for Windows Released

Substantia for Windows is now available at giorgiosancristoforo.net. You can find some demos previously posted here.

Substantia (latin: substance), is an electro-acustic physical modelling laboratory with hundreds of models. It is a modal synthesis software with integrated euclidean sequencer and recorder.

Substantia has 16 different models and 23 materials, ranging from Aluminium to Nickel Glass, Marble, Sapphire, Platinum, Gold, Nylon, Uranium and more for a total of 368 resonant models.

You can excite the resonators with contact microphones, samples or white noise and experience a new exciting way to make digital sounds with human gestures.

Substantia is a powerful tool to create new hyper-real sounds from amazing bongos to luxurious glassy and metallic textures.

Ensoniq ESQ-1 Synthesizer Overview and Sound Demo

Runningonair

"Ensoniq ESQ-1 Synthesizer Overview and Sound Demo.

In this one I’m looking at the Ensoniq ESQ-1, which is an 8 voice polyphonic synthesizer from 1986.
When it was released it was considered great value for money as it would cost twice as much to get something else with similar features.
It has 32 waveforms and an analogue filter, making it a hybrid synth, as everything else is digital.
The oscillators have sync and amplitude modulation.
It has 3 LFOs and 4 envelope shapers, which gives you an enormous amount of sound creating possibilities.
When you add in that there is a sequencer as well, it’s not surprising it wiped the floor with the competition.
In this video I take a basic look at the ESQ-1 and check out some of the sounds.

FM with samples - FDSP self modulation on the Yamaha EX5

Floyd Steinberg

"FM with samples - FDSP self modulation on the Yamaha EX5. Table of contents below! Here's a quick look at the "Self modulation" FDSP effect of the Yamaha EX5, a late 90s synthesizer workstation. FDSP is a sample-based synth engine which can add an individual insert effect to every single note you play. The "Self FM" works by adding a delay effect to a note, with the frequency of the delay repetition depending on the key you pressed. This results in a sound which very much resembles classic FM synthesizers like the DX7. By stacking up to 4 AWM voices in one patch, you can easily create complex FM patches, using amp- and pitch envelopes and LFOs to great effect."

Behringer Teases a Patchable Eurorack TR-909 for $149

According to Behringer:

"This is a design draft of a cool drum sequencer based on our upcoming RD-9. It’s designed for Eurorack and comes with 11 trigger outputs.

We believe we could offer it for US$ 149.

Would you be interested in such a drum sequencer?

Disclaimer. We haven’t decided yet if we will build it as the decision depends on your level of interest."

DX7 via Julien's Auctions

"A DX7 Synthesizer stage used and signed by Nine Inch Nails band members during the 1994-1995 Self Destruct Tour. The synthesizer was originally sold by the group on eBay under their former “Ningear” account in 2001. They used to sell all of their destroyed stage used equipment from various tours. Former band members Danny Lohner and Robin Finck informed the previous owner after he obtained the piece that they invested in the DX7 heavily. Due to its solid metal durability, it could take a beating every night by a mic stand or two, so all they had to do was replace the keys, which saved them thousands of dollars. Housed in the original Nine Inch Nails flight case. The winning bidder is responsible for pickup or shipping of this item from the United Kingdom."
