Synthesizer is in excellent condition, with some minor wear, scratches and signs of use, overall top condition! Tested and works great, this synthesizer does a lot of neat stuff and is fun to play."

DIY Analog Synthesizer Demo


video by wuukaa

"🎹 It's my Монофоникс !

This analog synthesizer is my first big project, it still has lots of things yo work on (unstable tune, noise module, MIDI2CV, ...) I made all the PCBs(manufactured by JLCPCB) and the case myself, just have to work on the labelling of each pots, becausee it looks like a kids project lol :)

On this demo I used my trusty power supply to feed the volage in the CV input of the 2 VCO because my MIDI to CV board is reeeally bad (I suck at coding lol). So the gate signal was always on which makes the enveloppes completely useless in this setup but don't worry I'll try to fix that later on!

And if you can help me with the code of the MIDI to CV I'd be really greatful because mine is pure shi* :3"

✒Description

The ESK32-30617 is a development board for Holtek Music Synthesizer MCU HT32F61357. It is convenient for users to develop MIDI / sound-related products with the Holtek music development platform Audio Workshop.

The Audio Workshop has internal integrated a wide variety of editing functions, such as MIDI, Sound, Effect, Sentence, etc., which can be quickly configured to generate target code. With the Audio Workshop, users do not need to write the program codes. The Audio Workshop provide tone editing function. Users can replace with their own tone for tone ADSR parameter adjustment to update tone parameters and simulate tone effects in time.

The MIDI / sound effect evaluation and simulation can be quickly implemented when users connect the micro USB of the ESK32-30617 to computer and work with the Audio Workshop.

✒Features
◆Power supply by USB
◆Editable MIDI
◆The Audio Workshop contains loading and editing MIDI functions (not includes MIDI2)
◆Audio output configuration and MIDI interface configuration
◆Tone parameters editing and replacing
◆With the Audio Workshop, users do not need to write the program codes

Innovative Instruments: Vongon Paragraphs - a musical demo of this gorgeous modulation pedal!


video by Joel Negus

"I took the Vongon Paragraphs for a spin around my home studio with the Teenage Engineering OP-1, the Arturia Polybrute, and my 1977 Rhodes. Listen to how this beautiful instrument interacts!

0:00​ Introduction
2:32​ OP-1 w/ Paragraphs
3:42​ Polybrute w/ Paragraphs
4:43​ Rhodes w/ Paragraphs"



"Paragraphs is an analog four-pole resonant low pass filter with an attack, decay (AD) envelope generator designed with focus on simplicity and flexibility.

Low Pass Filter

The heart of the filter circuit is the AS3320 analog chip — a modern replica of the same component used in analog classics like the Sequential Prophet 5, Pro-One mono-synth, Elka Synthex, and the LinnDrum. Cutoff spans the full audio spectrum and resonance starts to self-oscillate at about seventy percent.
Modulation

The envelope generator offers modulations in an uncommonly wide range of frequencies — starting as low as 0.05 hz for slowly evolving 20 second long cycles, and reaching up to (and past) the audio threshold at 300 hz for a wave shaping effect similar to sounds found on west coast style synthesizers (“think Buchla”).
Flexible Gain Stages

Paragraphs accepts instrument and line level signals. Dedicated controls for input (drive) and output level make it easy to move between a crystal clear clean tone and and a clipping fuzz. A multi-color LED provides a visual representation of the signal level. Red indicates clipping. Orange flashes indicate the start of overload. Green indicates the presence of signal at or below the nominal level.
CV and MIDI

Inputs for Control Voltage (CV) and midi are available to remotely trigger the envelope generator. This enables your Paragraphs to stay in rhythmic synchronization with external systems like midi sequencers, euroracks, and digital audio workstations."

Erica Synths Introduces the Black BBD Eurorack Module


video by Erica Synths

"The Black BBD is one of a kind analogue delay module - it features two BBD lines - short 1024 stage, and long 4096 stage that work simultaneously and you can smoothly fade between those two thus creating distinct multi-tap effect. Furthermore, an advanced BBD clock noise cancellation circuit is implemented that reduces unwanted BBD noise without filtering higher frequencies of the audio signal.

"The Black BBD is one of a kind analogue delay module - it features two BBD lines - short 1024 stage, and long 4096 stage that work simultaneously and you can smoothly fade between those two thus creating distinct multi-tap effect. Furthermore, an advanced BBD clock noise cancellation circuit is implemented that reduces unwanted BBD noise without filtering higher frequencies of the audio signal. Most of parameters are voltage controlled, which allows to integrate the module in complex modular setups.

FEATURES:
Full analogue design
Two BBD lines (1024 and 4096 stages)
Smooth crossfade between BBD lines
Built in LFO
CV control over Time, Feedback and Dry/Wet mix
