Vaemi Introduces XFMR Ring Modulator Eurorack Module

video uploads by Vaemi

"Vaemi's new module XFMR Ring Modulator, designed for Eurorack systems, has introduced an active ring modulator design with transformer.

Vaemi (Volt Age Electronic Musical Instruments), which manufactures synthesizers and electronic musical instruments commercially in Turkey, released its first module Osi-Op (through zero fm VCO) in the past months and immediately afterwards they shared Eurorack modules such as Shift Register, R2r Ladder, Buffered Multiple. Now, after the XFMR VCA, Vaemi, which continues the second of its transformer module designs, comes up with the XFMR Ring Modulator, that is, an active ring modulator design with transformer.

The original scheme and the history of this design date back to Harold Bode. It was designed passively at that time. XFMR Ring Modulator is a more advantageous active ring modulator module. A very large area on the panel of the module is illuminated with blue LEDs and shows the phase and height of the output signal. The input of the module is AC coupled because it is a transformer. There are also 4 knobs for controlling the module. With these knobs, you can determine the input and output levels, the number of CVs and shift the offset of the CV signal. The XFMR Ring Modulator has a very rich sound, very soft and open at high frequencies. The module has 10Vpp input and output. Tamura brand quality audio transformers are used. Vaemi today's electronic music and popular synthesis techniques can be applied to additive, FM, Formant, Subtractive, such as synthesis equipped with a system that can be used comfortably in today's music and a modern range of systems that they aim to bring together with their users will continue to be shaped and developed with new module designs that will come this year.

PPG wave 2.2 vs 2.3 are there any differences?

video upload by synthlegends

"I used to have a PPG wave 2.3 and I also got a 2.2 later on. Then I had to decide, which to keep and I compered them to each other. I prefered the 2.2. In this video you can hear some dfferences. The 2.3 sounds in many patches weaker and the panorama settings of the voices behaves sometimes strange. I suppose that the unit has some slightly issues, althought it got a full service and overhaul. The 2.2 didn't get any service at all. Also the envelopes seem to behave slowlier on the 2.3. When regariding the specs, the transient sounds in the PPG Wave 2.3 played with 12 bit or with non-linearly scaled 8 bit. The 2.2 played with 8 bit. Both PPGs used the same DA converters. Both used the same filter SSM 2044. In both PPG i had the latest OS 8.3 developed by Hermann Seibt. So I wonder why there are sound differences. My thesis is, that the 2.2 should not sound different from the 2.3. In this video it does. Now I only have the 2.2 in my studio, I sold both, the 2.3 and also the EVU, which you can see in this video."

Arturia MiniFreak Demo (No talking)

video upload by Hunart©

"Hy Everyone!

I've finally had a chance to spend some time with the "new" MiniFreak. Honestly, I really like that one. As usual, no external effects, just a limiter and a bit off low cut (It can get ugly sometimes XD) on the whole material. Everything was recorded track by track to Ableton. All sounds are from the MiniFreak.

Feel free to ask any questions!

Enjoy,
Hunart"
