Synthetic Sound Labs Tap Tempo LFO - Model 1260
More info on the Synthetic Soundlabs Tap Templo LFO previously posted here."The SSL 1260 Tap Tempo LFO is a special module indeed. You can set the LFO frequency by tapping the TAP button, supplying a periodic gate to the SYNC input, or by changing the Tempo CV. You can build tap tempo effects vibratos and tremelos, tap tempo controlled drum machines or tap tempo sequencer clocks. Or use it the other way around - control the 1260 tempo with a sequencer! You can even use multiple 1260s to create polyrhythmic LFOs using the built-in Multiplier ratios. Awesome possibilities!
The 1260 can produce 8 waveforms, including a random (sample & hold) wave.
All the waveforms except the random wave can be altered by the wave distortion CV.
t also includes a tempo multiplier. This is combined with the tapped tempo to allow the LFO frequency to be set at a multiple of the tapped rate. The available multipliers are 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4. This allows half- and double-time, and triplet times.
The LFO tempo, multiplier, waveform selection, wave distortion, and output level are all voltage-controlled using 0 to +5V. Negative voltages are are permitted, but may sometimes cause unexpected results.
The LEVEL CV input responds linearly to 0 to +5V and is normalled to +5V so that with no input, the 1260 outputs are at maximum. This convenient input can frequently save a separate VCA when doing voltage controlled modulation depth.
The SYNC input can accept clock pulses from other equipment, which allows the 1260 to be syncronized to other devices. A CLOCK OUT which can be used to drive other equipment, allowing a tap-tempo controlled clock for an analog sequencer or drum machine, for example. A phase reset on the first tap to the tap tempo input allows you to keep the LFO on the beat with a single tap. All waveforms reset to the top of the waveform.
CAVEATS - In that the 1260 waveforms are produced digitally, it should be noted that some amount of anti-aliasing effects occur at fastest rates. Although normally imperceptable in the majority of cases, very small steps may be heard at extremely slow rates and wide control swings. Due to minor component variations, Multiplier and Waveform switching points may not precisely line up with panel graphics. These are normal.
In all, we think you'll find the 1260 Tap Tempo LFO to be the most fun you've ever had with a LFO!

V-Station for the iPad?
via Gearjunkies"The iPad will become more and more a musical tool in the studio and beyond. Last year we saw some synths being recreated for the iPad by Korg for example. Just a few days ago we were sent a picture of another 'famous' synth being 'recreated' as an app. Is Novation taking the plunge in the app market with a V-Station (HD) app? It seems legit as the V-Station was the VSTi version of their hardware K-Station."

Dark time days are beginning

"The title says enough but nevertheless some explenation. A weeg ago I bought a Doepfer Dark Time, Yes I am an owner of hardware sequencer. This vid shows my first attempt. It is not ment as a complete peace of music but just LOL. It started with a 16 note sequence (2 rows chained) and triggered the Moog LP. First one osc. and then two. Some knob tweeking between. The Moogerfooger CP251 is actually triggered by the second sequence row (the LPF freq.) with the CV2 out of the DT. The CV1 out is at the end used for the CV pitch in of the Moog LP. The CP251 out is connected with the filter CV in of the Moog LP. A Ibanez DM1000 is used as delay. This vid is just for fun and in the future I will created some seriuos music with the DT.

Site Issues on Safari
I've had a couple of reports of the site not fully loading for people, specifically with YouTube posts coming up blank. It seems to be happening when clicking on the Older Posts link on the bottom of the page. I am not seeing the issue on Firefox but I am on Safari. However, if I open the Older Posts link in a new tab, the posts come up fine. If you are seeing the problem try it, and of course feel free to comment. I am using the default embed code for YouTube. This is not happening on Firefox.
Update: Finally got a chance to look into this in more detail and I think I might have fixed the problem. There was some old script I implemented a while back so I could paginate super long posts. The code let you set the number of characters you wanted to display in a post and added a more link to see the rest of the post. Well, Blogger rolled out their own and the two collided. I removed the old script and things are now appear to be working in Safari. Hopefully this also takes care of some of the other problems people were seeing mentioned in the comments. Thanks goes to VICMOD for the tip that helped me identify the problem. He reported seeing odd bxAv110 links at the bottom of each post on the second page on. These links were generated by the old script.

Sequential Circuits Prelude - Analog String Synthesizer
YouTube Uploaded by SynthesizerDemos on Mar 30, 2011
"(If you want to get straight to the strings, go to 4:18)
Anyone who knows me knows that I love Poly Ensembles nearly as much as I love drum synthesizers.
This is the Sequential Circuits Prelude, which was an American reissue of the Siel Orchestra II from the dawn of the 80's.
it has lot's of groovy bells and whistles like a flanger and an equalizer in addition to the standard chorus/ensemble effect. It produces some very smooth strings and some juicy brass. In addition, it can do a few transistor organ-type sounds and the standard analog piano sound (which isn't very useful for anything other than covering "Your Kiss is on My List")."
Live Techno Series #6 [TR-909, MC-909, Virus TI2, MPC2500]
YouTube Uploaded by siedgey on Mar 30, 2011
"Thanks for checking this out!
I have just moved into a new recording studio in Glasgow and finally have a place to set up all of my equipment permanently and build the room of my dreams! In this video, I teamed up with Mr Copy and Vakama to have the first live jam in the studio - a techno monster running completely live on hardware - the computer was only used to record the session.
The setup is as follows: MC-909 is sequencing the Virus TI2 and providing MIDI clock to the Virus, MPC and TR-909. The bassline, the clicks and the pad in the breakdown is coming from the Virus (controlled by me and played using the Waldorf Blofeld keyboard via MIDI), the 909 sounds are coming live from the TR-909 through the MC-909 audio input (controlled by Vakama) and the MPC is playing the kick drum and some percussion, as well as the chopped dub vocal throughout the track (controlled by Mr Copy).
Let me know your thoughts on the session - we had a great time recording it, it only took 3 takes to get something that sounded really nice but I could've kept going all night... :]
In other news, here are a list of places I will be playing in the next couple of months. If a show is near you then come down and say hello! Or else if you would like to make a booking for a free date then please get in touch"
Fletch Theme - Roland Fantom X6 Nordlead 2X VP330

"Finally a new video with synthesizers! ... A new revisited version of the almight Fletch Theme composed by Harold Faltermeyer.
Featuring three fabulous instruments in their own rights:
- Roland Fantom X6 provides the drum track (using a drumkit from the Ultimate Keys SRX Expansion board) and the Synth brass.
- Clavia Nordlead 2X for that cool Sync sound (Unison turned OFF for the beginning, turned ON for the rest). You can see how I programmed the sound with an Alesis Ion on my old Fletch Theme video.
- Roland VP330 Vocoder Plus... One of the coolest instruments ever made. It speaks for itself... (pun intended)"

trouby modular - masterclock generator
via this auction
"This device is dedicated to give a precise clock signal to sequencers, beatboxes or what a clock needs. For sure you're wondering aboutthe 2 white knobs - i'll declare them later. 1st the Outputs: twice quaver, semiquaver, semisemi quaver and a triple Start/Stop level. With the 2 knobs you select the 2-digit value of the tempo - for this you look at the table beyond for your desired tempo based on semiquaver times. The beat LED flashed to the quarter note and all the outputs start at the same time :)
Cabinet hint:
the bpm table is a blind plate.
For the curetronic cabinet, the masterclock module doesn't fit at right or left border - keep the bpm table beside this."
