PARASITES by the squarewave parade

"i would like to introduce the PARASITES. the PARASITES are intended to be used as both "circuit bending plugins" ( think VST's for speak & spells and casio's) as well as "lo-fi mini synth modules" that will all run off of a wide range of readily available power supplies. the first batch of PARASITES are now available in the store. i have pages, photos, details and some rough samples posted for them as well. you will find links for everything from the main page.

i have also added a PARASITE section on the new message board to help everyone figure out how to use and install them, so put it to use. there is a little added spam protection during the registration, the extra authorization code it asks for is: +!Ck73dP1nK

tons of new stuff on the way !!!"

Do not miss the Steelpone S900 Synthesizer. Great sounding synth and a great performance.

Sent my way via insektgod who had the following to say:

"It's in Italian but the music is universal...
Steelphone S900 Synthesizer
Roland 505
Korg PolySix
Ensoniq ESQ-1
Yamaha Motif
There's even some oscilloscope thrown in. I really like the "I nailed it" move at the end."

Gear Addict Clothing - Synth Ts

via Jordan:
"I've always had a hard time finding cool t shirts and stuff to wear so I went on some forums and started talking to people-- and found out that people have a hard time finding cool gear too. I hate all the generic t's I see in trendy stores...so we started brainstorming, put together some ideas, and i made some designs.

Our designs range from microphones and recording related, to analog gear, vintage and modular synths, theremins and other fun stuff. I am constantly talking to people in the community on forums and making new designs. We are a small community so why not help each other out.

I figure Matrixsynth would be a great place to get ideas and suggestions from people, as well as great exposure for the kinds of people we are trying to design shirts and other accessories for. Above sales is the community-- we design shirts by and for our small little niche, and would like to try to extend out to more people."

If you have any ideas feel free to comment or shoot Jordan an email at gearaddict at gmail.com.

Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 1 Samples

The following in via an anonymous reader:

rev1-response-to-pro8.m4a (2.1mb)
rev1-response-to-pro8.aif (9.4mb)

This is a 54 second 5 note chord performed on a rev 1 Prophet-5 as a response to the 10 (or so) 2 minute demos featuring the prototype Prophet-8. I feel it sums up many of the beautifully subtle features of the SSM revs that helped make the Prophet-5 the legend that it is.

Some technical notes:
Chord: F1,F2,F4,Ab4,C5 held for ~53 seconds (F2 is released ~ 0:18 for LFO mod) OSC 1 tuned to a 4th above OSC 2 (~3), both SAWs Filter EG A8 D10 S6 R4 (1 voice has a faster EG for effect and because it can) Cutoff 1, Resonance 7, E Amount 4 Amp EG A0 D0 S10 R5 LFO FREQ 6, TRI mod FREQ 2

Only a plate style reverb (t.c. electronics) was used, no external dynamics. Note the harmonics through the sweep and low end (if your speakers can render it!)"

Roland System 100m

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

This system has 2 VCO's, 2 VCF's, 2 VCA's, 4 EG's and 2 LFO's
Includes:
112 Dual VCO
This module contains two independent VCOs with expanded features; both have a range from 32' to 2', three modulation inputs, and a sync input and output. Three waveforms are available, as is Pulse Width Modulation. These VCOs are pretty stable, with a very wide range. If they are cross-synced at their higher ranges, they make a nice impersonation of FM synthesis

121 Dual VCF
Each VCF is a -24dB/octave low pass type with a built-in, fixed, high-pass filter that's switchable between three cut-off frequencies. Each VCF has cut-off frequency resonance sliders that can send them into oscillation. With a beautiful high end and a gut-rumbling low end, these VCFs sound incredibly rich and musical compared to most digitally generated filters. Use two in series, set to a different cut-off frequency, for an even deeper effect

130 Dual VCA
Each VCA can be switched between linear and exponential modes for different amplitude curves and percussive effects when used with the EG. Each has an initial gain control, which also allows the VCAs to be used without a modulation input

& Two 140 Dual EG + LFO's
This module provides two ADSR EGs and a single LFO (with five selectable waveforms)

& 191-J Five Module Rack
Originally, the racks came as self-assembly units. The rack contains the power supply, connectors and front-panel 36-jack patchbay. The front panel also featured two pairs of lined mini and standard jack sockets that are connected to two phono sockets at the rear. The sockets on the rear of the racks often get overlooked but can be very useful for linking signals to other racks and saving on patch cords

Also includes the Screws for mounting the Modules to the Rack & The Hard to Find 8 Pin Din Cables to connect the Modules to the Rack (may not be original Roland cables)"

MOOG Multimoog

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

"It is one of the most rare Moog synths-less than 1,000 were ever manufactured. (They were made in the late 1970's, maybe until 1980 or 81 at the latest.) It's an awesome sounding synth , with that unmistakabley rich warm analog sound you get from Moog oscillators and filters. This synth has 2 oscillators, and tons of routing possibilities for the modulation and ribbon controller. The ribbon is a very cool feature, as are the touch sensitive keys which allow you to vary the amount of modulation you bring in depending on how hard you depress the key. This model was loaded with a surprising amount of features for a synth this size, and some of them, such as the keyboard touch feature or the ability to morph from one waveform into another, are definitely unique to the Multimoog."
