CORAL Minisystem - CV only patch


video upload by OXI Instruments

"The possibilities of this module are still untapped, bringing polyphony to another level 🤯

The new CV polyphonic control unlocks plenty of patching options.

Coral is directly recorded into the sound card + compression."

Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field | Minidisc & Vocoder test (NO TALKING) ’Mini Melody Safari’


video upload by Freedom of Movement

"Another ​⁠​⁠@teenageengineering OP-1 Field video |

This time testing the Minidisc - or Disc Mini if we’re avoiding trademark infringements - and doing some live Vocoder chords.

Recorded in one single take with audio out from the OP-1 USB-C directly into the iPhone 13 Pro Max

The vocoder is being triggered by me going ’boodly bop’ into the room & through the onboard OP-1 mic as I didn’t have a headset mic handy

I used to have a minidisc at the turn of the Millenium which was a time when I listened a lot to ​⁠​⁠@RoyksoppMusic’s Melody AM & ​⁠​⁠@AIRfrenchbandofficial’s Moon Safari so I thought it would be fitting to make a tune in that vein. Let’s call it ’Mini Melody Safari’"

Animated Tricillator Northern Light Modular Model 2AT Full Technical Overview


video upload by Kent

"The Covid Kid is back with his 90th video, 30 minutes in length(!), and 3rd round of Covid. I seem to only find time to make videos when I have some downtime due to Covid. Please excuse my flagging voice.

00:10 start of Audio Demos
07:39 start of Technical Overview and Features
08:07 AS3340 & AS3345 chips
08:20 What the 2AT isn't: not e-series and not based upon Buchla designs
09:38 The 4 main sections of the module
09:53 Common Control (Master Pitch in and offset knob)
10:33 Mix Out section with optical clipping
11:22 LFO Swarm based upon their Electric Dompteur h-seriers 1/2 space module. Genius!
13:35 LFO Swarm waveforms
14:15 the weird LFO shapes
15:05 8 octave range with rotary switch
16:08 mixer per oscillator
16:28 3 varieties of sub-octaves
17:39 FM normalling and routing
18:16 0-10V properly biased modulation outs on banana jacks
18:50 scoping out the modulation outs
19:50 shorting bars
20:00 listening to the various forms of oscillator sync
23:30 FM showcase. How it sounds and how the routing works.
28:00 3 Operator FM with 223e arpeggiator
29:21 Adding clocked LFOs and VCA mixing
30:14 fini!

The 2AT is an incredibly feature rich module:
It tracks over 8 octaves
3 oscillators with four waveforms each. Each waveform has an individual mix level control via knob and banana jack
Rotary switch for selecting the octaves
3-stage sub oscillator
Selectable Waveforum Mod CV (0-10V) out
Scalable FM and CV control
Full PWM control
Attenuverters wisely employed where they make sense
FM inputs normalled to the outputs of anther oscillator and the routing can be changed on the back
Sync I/O via shorting bars
Each oscillator's waveform outputs are mixed internally and are present at the MIX OUT if no single out is used
Optical clipping stages are present at each OSC, and again at the Mix Out stage

Clocked or Free-Running Swarm LFO
The 8 frequencies (the 8 outputs) can be offset in phase or frequency, always based on the master frequency.
It can go down to 0 Hz and freeze the levels at their present state
Each output has its own attenuator

MeloDicer save and recall patterns


video upload by John Schussler

"One of the killer features of the Vermona MeloDicer is the ability to save and recall patterns. Press the C button, select a slot with the encoder, and press the encoder. Saved. Press the D button, select a slot with the encoder, press the encoder...loaded! Easy and quick."

Working out a new audio circuit for the Great Conjunction 2op FM Fragment Synth


video upload by Arman Bohn

"Every week the wonderfully purple, Great Conjunction, gets a little tiny bit closer to being completed. No major breakthroughs on the software front but I did squash a few bugs and probably created a few more. I spent a good deal of time reworking the PCB to incorporate a new audio output circuit. I’ve ordered up most of the parts that I’ll need for the next batch of five prototypes, and I hope to order of the prototypes within a week."

The GC provides most of the melodic and chordal work here, with key changes coming from the M8. The Phantasmal Force is simply controlling the volume levels on the M8, which is itself providing the bass and drums."

Korg Introduces New Wavestate Family of Synths


video upload by Korg

Wavestate SE Pre-Order is currently $1999 on Korg's Reverb site here. The Platinum Edition runs $2199 here. The Wavestate MK2 is not currently listed.

"Organic, inspirational, and mind-blowingly powerful, wave sequencing 2.0 is expanding its lineup to include wavestate SE, wavestate Limited Edition Platinum, and wavestate mkII.

In 2020, the acclaimed wavestate brought the the legendary Wavestation's Wave Sequencing synthesis to the next level. Featuring the radically re-imagined Wave Sequencing 2.0, the wavestate delivers astonishing, ever-changing sounds with extensive hands-on control, taking cues from sources as diverse as modular synths, groove boxes, and algorithmic composition.

The mk2 expands its unique palette of lush, evolving pads and driving rhythms with improved polyphony (96 stereo voices), new and updated sounds, and a refreshed look. It has 4 GB of user space to import samples and its compact form-factor, with 37 full-size keys, transports easily and fits neatly into any stage, studio, or desktop setup.

Made in Japan, the wavestate SE features Korg’s premium 61-note natural-touch keyboard with aftertouch, for the same superb feel as Korg’s high-end workstations. Aftertouch provides fingertip control of the wavestate's unique, evolving sounds.

Factory Performances have been updated for Aftertouch, and new sounds have been added as well.​Under the hood, wavestate SE also features an astounding 120 stereo voices of polyphony–almost twice as many as the original wavestate, and also includes 4 GB of space to import your own samples.​

The metal body is sleek and strong, ready for gigs and studio alike. ​The metal knobs have just the right weight for easy tweaking.

wavestate SE is also available in a Limited Edition Platinum finish. And both versions ship in a dedicated hard case, including space for cables and a sustain pedal."
