Custom Oberheim SEM MS1A Modular


via this auction

"custom Oberheim SEM MS1A Modular. The Modules themselves work fine but this is an AS-IS auction. Either you can either go over the patch wiring or you can toss the box, use the circuitry for your own Oberheim project, OR add a reiusse to the combo and you will have yourself a keyboardless TVS! I designed the front panel in Illustrator, sent the CAD file to a laser cutting facility on 3/16" black anodized aluminum with the added bonus etching the labels. One of the previous owners stripped the paint from the MS1A. The jacks are all 1/8" switchcraft. If you would like the name of a person who agreed to work on this I would be happy to supply that to the new owner, I just don't have the time pr patience for a project... even if I am not the one doing the work.

An excellent tech brought the SEM (also added a blue LED) and MS1A back to life and also recapped the power supply. The power supply is from a four voice unit. No buffering was added to the patch points since I just went by what was in the manual that came from SEM manual itself. The patch points were just brought to the front."

MOTM 1800 frac looping ADSR module


via this auction

"MOTM 1800 looping ADSR envelope. this module had banana jacks installed to replace the 1/8 jacks. the work was done by Michael Ford of Metalbox

the module generates a traditional adsr envelope at the 2 output jacks. when gate goes high (exceeds +2.5v), the attack/decay portion completes to the sustain level. the envelope stays at the sustain level until the gate signal goes low, then it releases to 0v. the trigger signal is optional: if your midi-cv controller can output a trigger pulse (1ms-10ms nominal width), the envelope will re-attack/decay when a trigger pulse is present. pressing the red manual gate pushbutton will also start the adsr cycle. the motm-1800 has 2 other modes: looping and burst. in the loop mode, the module acts like a lfo: the ads cycle repeats forever. note that the release control has no effect in the looping mode. for maximum output voltage swing in this mode, set sustain to the '0' tick. the fastest the loop will run is when attack and decay are both 0 and sustain is at 0 (looping will stop if sustain is set over the '6' tick). this will be about 620hz. if looping does not begin when you flip the switch, press and release the manual gate. in burst mode, the envelope will loop as long as gate is high. when gate goes low, the looping stops and the envelope does a release at the rate set by the release control. you can also burst with the manual gate pushbutton."

Modcan mix/lag 18a module

"The MIX/LAG 18A is a 2 section module.
The top section is a 3 X 1 mixer for simple mixing of
voltages or audio

Features:
Inverting and non-inverting
attenuators for each of the 3 inputs
Offset control to add or subtract from the final mix

The lower section is a dual Voltage Controlled LAG processor. Lag is also known as glide, slew or portomento.
The primary use for lag is to smooth stepped voltage modulation input from a sequencer or midi to cv converter. The most common patch would be add glide to an oscillators pitch.

DIY Fonitronik Voltage Controlled Pattern Sequencer 8 VCPS8


via electro-music.com

"The VCPS-8 is a sequencer providing one channel of gates, triggers and CV. For control there is a clock in, manual step, manual reset and a reset in. The trigger length follows the pulse width of the incoming clock signal. The reset button is an stop/reset and inhibits the sequencer as long as pushed. However the reset input creates a short reset pulse from the incoming reset gate/pulse signal to prevent the sequencer from stopping. This comes in handy when resetting the sequencer using a divider. Think about it…
And then there is a section to provide voltage control of the gate/trigger patterns: CV in, manual pattern select (offset/fine), and two LEDs indicating the limits of the CV (0v 5V). The patterns of the 8 steps are under the control of an ADC, however each step can be set manually too, to overwrite the ADC pattern if desired.

Some time ago kind fellow CJ Miller sent me some old EFM schematics to upload them to my site. One was the ADC flash, based on LED driver ICs (LM3915). I thought about the use for an ADC module for a modular synthesizer and came up with the idea of controlling the steps of a sequencer with it. But why use expensive or hard to get LM3914/15? so I utilized an ADC0801 (or even 0804) for that purpose. This IC accepts 0V-5V input, so i put a simple CV processor upfront the ADC, with two additional comparators to drive indicator LEDs for voltages greater than 5VA or less than 0c.

Spectral Tools Quick Tutorial

Spectral Tools Quick Tutorial from Martin Jaroszewicz on Vimeo.


"Spectral Tools uses a time-expansion/compression algorithm based on Jean-Francois Charles’ “A Tutorial on Spectral Sound Processing Using Max/MSP and Jitter”. It allows for extreme stretching and freeze of short samples using video matrices.

The included effects are common tools for the transformation of sounds. It can be controlled via OSC for live performances."

Teenage Engineering OP-1 Nearing Completion - Price Announced

Via Teenage Engineering:

"Op-1 Newsletter, Sept 25, 2010

Thank you for signing up for OP-1 news.
This Newsletter is about the OP-1 portable synthesizer from Teenage Engineering.


Project status

When it comes to functionality, 90% percent is completed and working.
Some parts of the system is still being fine tuned and optimized. Overall we are extremely happy with what we have.
The OP-1 will be shipped with 6 synthesizer engines and 2 sampler types. Pulse was shown at the NAMM show, the other synthesizer
engines are DrWave, FM, Phase, String, Digital, Cluster. Further it will include 8 effects, 3 LFO types and 3 original sequencers.
The Mixer section has a dedicated EQ and Drive as well as Master Balance and an additional Master Effect slot.
The Sequencers can be matched to the tape speed with a feature called Beat Match.
The Tape also have additional ONE-KEY features added that will be revealed at launch.


Beta test

The beta test is approaching. The beta sign up has been closed for quite some time. So wait and see if you are one of those we invite to participate.
When the beta machines will be released those invited have the option to buy a machine, get all updates and be credited in the manual.
Unfortunately we cannot give beta machines away for free or reduce the price.
We are very excited about this final phase when the feature set will be locked down and to get feedback from fresh eyes and ears.


Hardware

We just received the golden sample for the keyboard module / plastic parts from the factory. And we are very satisfied with the look and feel of it.
The complexity level of the OP-1's electronics makes component sourcing a bit tricky. As soon as we get the missing chips we will go into production with the first beta batch.
Shortly after, the first full production run will be started. So keep your fingers crossed that all this works out.


Feedback

We have got a lot of mails lately regarding the shipping date and the final price of the OP-1.
So we felt it's time for us to provide you with some details:

Estimated street price: $799 / Euro 799 (includes EC-VAT)
Estimated release date: TBA (Depending on the last components to arrive)


Where to buy the OP-1

Initially the OP-1 will be sold exclusively in the TE store (store.teenageengineering.com)

Note! Come visit us at the 2011 NAMM Show in Los Angeles."

Zebranalogic Envelope filter and More


YouTube via zebranalogiczetangas | September 24, 2010

"The micro envelope filter is a unit that can be used with a guitar, bass or keyboard.
It has the two following controls: Sens and Range

Sens: determines the input level signal of your instrument. The input already includes an internal gain that allows your guitar to respond easily to the filter.
Range: this control determines the frequency level with a range of lows and high."

The oscillator IV

zebranalogiczetangas | September 25, 2010

"This Synthesizer comes with the same components as the Oscillator III, but with an added Midi (in/thru). The Midi control has been modified to reach greater range of control surfaces and a Midi thru port has been added, the only channel 1 used is to detect the on and off note. This Synthesizer comes with 4 analogue effects, such as Fuzz, Phase, Envelope Filter and Tremolo, which works as a Vca controlled by a LFO.
The mixer is a 5-channel one. Monoural Output 1/4. This unit comes with a 110ac - 220ac Adaptor.The Lfo control has been modified for better control and some details on the Vco have been perfected to create more aleatory sounds. The Noise White has been modified with more gain.
Case made of transparent Plexi-glass."

Biscuiting the DRM1


YouTube via duncanperson | September 25, 2010

"Vermona DRM mk3, featuring the OTO Machines Biscuit. Pitch shifting/sample rate reduction/bit crushing

The Kick drum is going through the right channel on the biscuit to avoid pumping the sound too much and to avoid being pitch shifted - the pitch shifter only works in mono on the left input. Midi control from ableton live 8 is controlling the interval of the pitch on the biscuit."

8 bit pitch shifting on Vermona DRM1

duncanperson | September 25, 2010

"Vermona DRM mk3, featuring the OTO Machines Biscuit. The biscuit is primarily receiving midi CC and note data for the filter and the pitch shifter. The pitch shifting is done over intervals of 3rds, 5ths and octaves. I have not seen any other videos featuring midi control over the biscuit which is one reason for this video - Every parameter is midi controllable!!!!

The individual out of the MULTI chanell is going through the biscuit, the rest of the drums are unaffected."

"A fast scan rate, hand-built velocity switches and advanced key-mechanics enables a level of velocity sensing unheard of on a multi-button MIDI controller until now. Choices of wieght and velocity setting extend to instant loudest and quietest notes, tracking the way you play.

Sorry about the speaker hum. By 4.00am it's easy to forget things and mess up levels while recording from a speaker with a mic in front, covered with a tea towel, plugged into a camcorder - it is for me, anyway!"

Hidden Animals.wmv

notepool2 | September 25, 2010

"Why 'Hidden Animals'? When I played back the footage, I noticed that the cat on the T-shirt I was wearing was leaping forwards as I leaned forward to start to play - purely acciddental!

This is an Opal Chameleon connected to a Roland VK-8M mondule, for my experiments with rhythm patterns and riffs in preparation for playing rock keyboard parts in my next band (when I get to build an Opal I can keep!)

I also took the opportunity to address forum writers who, new to the note layout, noticed that the 4th interval is not one of the keys adjacent to the tonic (of whichever key you're playing in). As with a conventional keyboard, you would normally play inversions while switching chords anyway, so it helps that on the sonome, the 4th minus an octave IS one of the keys adjacent to the tonic. Its location right under the tonic makes an inverted 4th with some bottom end eady and intuitive. Of you can invert the tonic and alternate fast with a root-position 4th.

I've tried to show all of this in the video, using my version of Spencer Davis 'Gimmie Some Lovin' as an example. I hope it helps new sonome users find ways to navigate fluently."
