Space Brain Circuits DarkSky-4 | Stereophonic Analog Polysynth


video upload by Space Brain Circuits



"All sounds are directly from DarkSky-4 without any external effects or plugins.

User manual: https://github.com/SpaceBrainCircuits..."

New synth priced at $699.00, from the maker of MidiVolts.



"DarkSky-4 is a 4 voice stereophonic analog synthesizer.The synthesizer consists of 4 independent oscillators that can be played monophonically, paraphonically or polyphonically. Each oscillator is equipped with a dedicated VCA and Envelope, which allows for better musicality and the ability to sound each note as it is pressed. Each oscillator contains a sawtooth and square wave, which can be mixed to generate various timbres and sounds. The square waveform can be gradually adjusted from a square waveform to a narrow pulse width waveform to further expand the sonic characteristics of the oscillators. The synthesizer also features two 24dB low pass filters with dedicated controls for cutoff frequency and resonance peak. DarkSky-4 provides several ways to add modulation to the audio signal, including frequency modulation, pulse width modulation, and filter modulation. The unit was designed to create a more expansive soundscape for studio and performance settings. The filter adjustments, along with filter modulation, provide a wide range of stereo effects when in stereo mode. Additionally, the semi-modular patch bay can be used to further modulate multiple sources of controls."

Behringer PRO-800 TouchOSC Bidirectional Editor v3.0

Behringer PRO-800 TouchOSC Bidirectional Editor v3.0 from synth_nyc on Vimeo.

via synth_nyc

"Global Settings parameters (starting at 03:30 in the video above) are now bidirectional (read / write from / to synth).

Script:
- Press Request to load the synth current Global Settings in the editor
- Start editing (in the editor)
- Press Write to save the Global Settings to the synth
- Re-edit the Global Settings (in the editor)
- Press Request to re-load the synth Global Settings in the editor, to demonstrate that it's the exact same Global Settings as edited a minute ago

Also as requested by some of you folks, I'm providing a free trial version of the editor:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1y9ss...bm8o9ykp9&dl=0
- Choose MIDI Channel
- Send Bank and Program Change
- Request any patch from the synth, but only Oscillator A Volume is read
- Write a default patch to the synth (any location), with user chosen Oscillator A Volume
NB:
- Requires a TouchOSC license (https://hexler.net/touchosc)
- Make sure to select "PRO 800" in the TouchOSC application menu / Connections... / MIDI / Connection 1 / Send Port and Receive Port sub menu to enable bidirectional communication

Have fun!
PS: In v3.0, SYSEX strings parsing / encoding procedure has been 'industrialized' which should enable future synth support with minimal effort"

Crumar Bit 01 demo with midi controller

"Here is a demo of this italian 6 voice analog polysynth i'm selling (via this auction)
Unit was upgraded with the great Tauntek firmware and can now be controlled remotely over midi by Control Change with any controller.
In the demo I basically flip through the unit presets and edit some of them on the fly just to show how easy it is now to program this otherwise austere synth.

I didn't demo the bi-timbral feature of the rack. You can have 2 different presets, lower and upper, either layered ("double") or split. Lower and Upper parts can have their own audio output.
Preset from 76 to 99 are allocated for the performance presets and need to be dialed in (you can't use the + and - value switch to select those like I did on the video)."



SN 00522 via this auction

"Italian 6 voice analog polysynth. This is the CEM 3328 version, not the SSM 2044 one, in the rare white colour.

This unit was serviced and upgraded and is in perfect working condition, see video.
What was done:
- power supply capacitors were replaced
- new battery was installed
- Tauntek new firmware eproms were installed. You can now control the unit directly over MIDI with CC with any hardware or software controller
- Midi thru socket was modified so that you can export your preset by sysex dump over midi (original could only export presets through the "tape" function)

It also comes with some goodies (well especially for french speaking person)
- original owner's manual + preset lists (in french)
- original schematics diagram
- original Crumar Bit range advertissement (in french)
- original inspection card from factory (this unit came out from factory in November 1985)

Condition is very good with only minor scuffs to the nice white metal paint."
