Rhythm Lab - Neu Jungle (samplepack)
video upload by LFOstore
"Download: https://www.inspireuplift.com/Rhythm-...
Introducing Neu Jungle - an exquisite collection of groovy drum breaks and high-energy synth sounds made in the best tradition of 90s Jungle music. Made with classic analog and digital instruments.
Drum loops are made with 90-s/20-s famous samplers such as Akai S1100, MPC 1000, Emu 6400 and VP-9000. All loops are processed with the vast variety of vintage effects and tools, including tape and tube units; and recorded on 80's vintage mixer. This way of production brings out the warm, dusty and thick sound of the early Jungle recordings.
The drum programming is of the highest standard, recreating that early Jungle energetic vibe. Sharp Kung Fu-style Drumfunk breaks; easy Soulful and Intelligent grooves; thick and pumping Liquid Funk loops; mellow Atmospheric DnB drums.
The second half of the pack includes a collection of synths, recorded with such classics as Moog Prodigy, Korg MS-20, Yamaha CS-30, Access Virus, Nord Lead, etc. This section of the pack places a particular emphasis on bass sounds. However, you can also find various key chords, pads, FX and lead sounds.
All sounds are recorded with a high-quality audio interface in 24-Bit, 44100 Hz WAV files, and manually sliced in Recycle Rex format.
This collection includes more than 200 breakbeats and over 700 synth sounds."
CRB Voco Strings and CRB Computerband 2000
video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia
"CRB Elettronica was one of many organ manufacturers in the Marche region in Italy in the 1970s.
They did however branch out to produce a very limited number of synthesizers and drum machines for a domestic market where, due to a weak lira and high import taxes, synths manufactured in Japan and America were rare treats.
Speaking of rare - these CRB machines are today incredibly so - having already been manufactured in numbers in the low hundreds - very few survive today.
The CRB Computer Band 2000 is an analog auto-accompaniment unit with a range of chord and arpeggiator sounds.
1. Analog Drum Machine Section with individually mutable sounds
2. Bass section with three sounds and two modes
3. Two separate chord sections with a total of seven sounds, decay and volume controls.
4. And at last the arpeggiator section with four different sounds and decay control.
These sections were originally made for big home-organs, they're incorporated into the CRB 910 organs and a few Solton branded ones as well.
The CRB Voco Strings is an Italian take on the Roland VP-330 - a string and vocoder machine. It has a great sounding string section as a carrier - maybe one of the very sweetest sounding string machines that came out of Italy?
Change my mind in the comment section :)
In this video we're letting the CRB Voco strings process the CRB Computer Band 2000 via the audio input. During the first two compositions, a third player, the Siel Cruise - a lovely Mono / Poly machine, is connected as an external carrier signal instead of the Voco-Strings String Sounds, via the external instrument input in the back.
This video is a compilation of previously released videos on our channel - there are lots more videos of the Computerband 2000 unit as well.
The CRB Computerband unit is currently for sale on Reberb."

Using CV to Trigger a Synth's Envelope | Sound Recipes #56

"For this week's Sound Recipe, we spiced up a synth sound by using a CV sequencer to trigger a synth's envelope."
RYK Vector Wave | 4 Operator mono/polyphonic vector synth with 16 VCO's, 8 Env/LFO's and a Joystick.
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"I started working on this video three days ago, right after I got the RYK.
Since I have committed to making a video every day in January, I had to work ahead a bit and study. It's hard enough to make a video under pressure, but working on a module you don't know is even harder. RYK's Vector Wav is so deep it makes it virtually impossible to make something decent. But I learned a lot while/after making this video and I think it's an enjoyable watch.
The RYK is an amazing machine and it can produce the biggest sound I've ever heard coming from a single eurorack module. In short, it's a 4 operator FM voice, but it goes much deeper. A voice is a wavebank of four oscillators, so there are 16 voices to play with. Each wavebank has two envelopes, two LFO's and six modulation targets. You can use it in unison and polyphonic with midi. With the expander you can drive three more gates and melodies in 'multi timbral' mode. There's just one word for the RYK and that is WOW.

This is only the 2nd one to be featured on the site; the 1st one being here.
"Rare Hohner Electra Melodica which is a monophonic windsynthesizer produced by Hohner in 1966-67. Obviously this instrument was so far ahead of its time that they only produced 500 pieces until it was discontinued.
The melodica has 6 sounds to choose from - clarinet (1 octave lower than the rest), brass, strings, oboe/bassoon, flute, saxophone, there are also three "formants" for the wau-wau effect that you can choose from and manipulate with the pushbutton on the left side of the instrument. The melodica has a vibrato that can be altered in amplitude and frequency and two pots for finetune and coarsetune. The octaveswitch allows to choose between five octaveranges. The manual has 3 octaves, using the octave switches you can play notes from "f" below the lowest note on a piano to the "e" above the highest c on the piano.
The power supply has new fresh electrolytic caps and a bulb has been changed on the inside of the instrument. The melodica has also been tuned properly.
The package contains the original power supply, the power cord, a connection cable from power supply to the melodica (same as the 'MIDI'-cables we use today), 1x3-pole-DIN/3-pole-DIN and 1x3-pole-Din/jack cable to connect the melodica via the power supply to the amp. It also contains two mouthpieces.
The original case has suffered a little bit throughout the years and the melodica has a crack on the downside which has been glued (check pictures)."

"16 PSYCHE manifolds a structureless structure at infinite convergence of causal invariance in the frequency domain.
The core 16 configurations of 16 PSYCHE expose the diversity of the proto core* and the rich experimentation to gain using the 5 pillars of its foundation in depth. The infinity function groupoids, quadrilateral non linear transfer functions, twisted division ring of fractions, through zero phase modulation and non linear resonant feedback windows.
Although not limited to 16 configurations the evolution of the chosen system is a kin to a multiway infinity, defined only by the isomorphic relationship of user and machine, however it should be noted that 16 PSYCHE obtains suitable nodes for trajectories towards complex feedback and modulation far beyond previously known orbits."

"This is an impossible module to find and it was just luck that I was able to get it so I’m selling it with great reluctance. It kicks ass. Blast and blast, it’s got power and intensity. Grab it before I change my mind.
It uses a triode-pentode in a unique Wien-bridge circuit, to provide clean sine-wave oscillation. Using a Vactrol, the pitch of the R-54 is sweepable from less than 20 Hz to more than 5 kHz, continuously, via front-panel control or a CV input. By adjusting the waveshape/resonance control, the sinewave signal produced by the R-54 can be trimmed to less than 10% THD (depending on operating pitch)---with NONE of the problems inherent in solid-state oscillators and sine waveshapers. Because the Wien bridge contains no piecewise sine shaper or amplitude-control circuit or component. The tube itself performs that job. So the distortion products are entirely low-order, unlike the "sine waves" that solid-state VCOs or samplers produce.
Turn up the overdrive control, and the oscillator output clips the output amplifier pentode tube, for a unique soft-clipped square-wave sound. The simplicity of the R-54 will fool you--its behavior is odd and radical, and it will take you months or years to fully explore all of its quirks.
Now for the special trick. Plug an audio signal into the audio input. Instantly, the R-54 transforms from a VCO into a bandpass resonant voltage-controlled filter, with the same range as in VCO operation -- 20 Hz to 5 kHz. Its behavior and sound are unique. Again, you will be kept busy for years exploring all of its strangeness.
And now, it's got two new tricks. A VCA CV input allows you to control the output level of the R-54 as well as the amount of clipping in the output tube. Plus, a HARSH switch introduces a feedback loop into the CV control. Turn up the output level and the R-54 does very strange things.
CV response: Hz/v. Use a suitable MIDI/CV interface, or use our R-60 interface to obtain perfect equal-tempered tuning every time. Maximum output signal, 12 v p-p. Power requirement: +-12v dc, approx 150 mA. (All specifications are approximate and may vary from sample to sample.) Tubes used: 19KG8, 6AK5.
WARNING THIS MODULE USES 400mA FOR START UP!"
