Atomo Labs Introduces the MochikaX4

MochikaX4 Inspiration video by atomolab

"Hello World!!
We are proud to introduce the new version of our classic of all times. The AtomoSynth MOCHIKA X4.
It is a full analog synthesizer plus a 16 step digital sequencer. Like all its predecessors, the Mochika X4 has a huge organic analog sound, raw and sometimes aggressive character, thanks to its all discrete Voltage controlled oscillator, Noise generator and classic AtomoSynth vactrol filter, now with sub oscillator and PWM, flexible LFO and ADSR type Envelope generator.
The new 16 step sequencer features a high contrast OLED display and 8 rotary encoders with pushbuttons, now it is easier to see and edit in real time the global sequencer settings and all parameters of each step like pitch, repetitions number and gate-time/slide.
It also features a 64 slot non volatile memory to store you patterns.
External clock and midi synchronizable, also controllable by any external midi device (midi note on/off).
New 8 creative playing modes including: Normal/reverse, alternate, random, drunk, drone, step-trigger polyrhythm, one shot and midi control modes.
All parameters, patterns and modes are editable while playing giving you great flexibility to perform live, experiment and create.
The new MOCHIKA X4 is built with high quality components and now with high precision SMD technology, compact and beautiful clear acrylic case and fiberglass front panel. Designed, Assembled by hand, calibrated and tested in Lima - Peru."

Rarebeasts MUFON 12 MKII

video by Rarebeasts

"Rumoured to be a returned artifact from the dark side of the moon(fake news) the MUFON 12x is a actually a 3d printed synth designed and handmade by me. While appearing to be extraterrestrial in origin this adorable mini synth is super simple to play and can produce a huge range of experimental sounds."

via Rarebeasts on Etsy

This new version of the MUFON-12 uses 2 separate oscillators that de-tune when you change the light levels reaching the sensors.

The New MUFON is made from the more environmentally friendly PLA material.

Catch the MUFON 12 in action here on Youtube https://youtu.be/d3UXPAcK7q4

The MUFON 12 has two controls via light sensors, both light sensors control frequencies that are de-tuned as light changes are made.

All is required to get started is a USB power supply(PC or phone battery packs are perfect) and something amplify the sounds, this can be as simple as a set of headphones or an amplifier. A speaker with an aux input is perfect.

Stats:
Output: 3.5mm socket (Use with earphones, a computer sound card, mixer or amplifier)
Power: USB (Plug into a computer, phone charger or wall socket). No internal battery.
Case: 3D printed PLA

Super Synthesis - 2OPFM pluckin' and...

video by Chris McDowell

"2OPFM is 6HP of really chill FM for your eurorack modular synthesizer, for $75."

via Super Synthesis

2OPFM is a digital 2-operator FM voice in 6HP. It features 2 sine wave oscillators and a decay envelope to control their amplitudes. Perfect for growling percussion and plucky melodies.

: The length of the internal decay envelope. The associated jack is an offset to the slider.

FM: The amount of FM modulation of the carrier. The associated CV input is an offset to the slider.

KHz: The base frequency of the carrier oscillator. The associated CV input is an offset to the pot.

RATIO: The ratio of modulator frequency to carrier frequency.

OP1: The main output.

TRIG: A rising edge triggers the built in decay envelope. This envelope modulates the amplitude of the carrier, as well as the modulator (at a slightly faster rate) Incoming triggers are ignored when the envelope is active, thus allowing for frequency division based on the decay slider.

While the look of 2OPFM has changed, this demo video from version 1 modules still is a great intro to its features. The main addition here is voltage control of the internal envelope :) "

Univox SR-95 Vintage Drum Synthesizer SN 721394

via this auction

"It's a Very Cool Automatic Rhythm Instrument. The SR-95 is analog beat box making at its purest and simplest – press a few buttons, move a few faders, and presto… your own beat, mixed and ready to go! Although it was originally designed for using one rhythm function at a time, musicians quickly realized that by engaging multiple buttons simultaneously, they could build unique, customized beats! Both, mega stars and DIYers used, and continue to use, this machine. As for mega production uses, composers like Jean-Michel Jarre used the Univox in his Yanni-style new age symphonies like Oxygen 2"
