Future Retro Vectra 29-Keys Hybrid Synthesiser (hybrid keyboard synthesiser)

Cat: 854774 Rel: 29 Feb 24

29-keys hybrid keyboard synthesiser

Notes: The Vectra is a unique hybrid synthesizer with a flexible architecture that allows many different forms of synthesis to be realized. It's the best of both worlds... The Vectra utilizes digital oscillators, ring modulators, noise sources, vector mixer, LFO's, complex envelopes, and modulation routings providing many capabilities that would be very difficult to produce with analogue circuitry alone. This allows for accurate tuning, repeatability of complex patches, and patch storage. The Vectra also provides a multi-mode analogue filter, VCA, and final output, as these provide the best sonic qualities.

The Vectra includes a powerful and fun sequencer and arpeggiator, with many new capabilities. Although the Vectra is a self contained instrument, MIDI can be used to interface with other devices.

The Vectra provides four oscillators, white and pink noise sources, four ring modulators, a four-channel mixer, five LFO's, six morphing envelopes, six primary multimode analogue filter types, a main analogue VCA, and numerous internal modulation routings and VCA's controlling modulation amounts.

It really is like having a powerful self-contained semi-modular synthesizer with approximately 500 internal signal routings, and around 256 storable sound parameters.

The synthesizer architecture is designed to allow the greatest flexibility in recreating multiple synthesis techniques of the past while introducing several new innovations. The sound section has been inspired by features of the greatest synthesizers ever made, while not focusing specifically on recreating any instrument in particular. The Vectra is in fact it's own unique self-contained instrument.

The oscillators are digital as this provides the highest degree of tuning stability, while allowing both virtual analogue and digital waveform generations. With features like oscillator Sync, PWM, the new waveform Phase Slice, and Fade features, independent glide times per oscillator, constant beat detuning, and paraphonic voice modes, not to mention FM, AM, ring-modulation, and dedicated LFO's, envelopes, and VCA's per oscillator really make these oscillators a power house.
The four-channel mixer is unique in that it provides an even balance when mixing multiple sources, either manually with the joystick, or applying automated vector mixing, or mixer modulation.

The five LFO's provide 500+ waveforms to choose from, with their frequency spanning from sub-audio into the audio range. Their frequency can be stationary or track keyboard notes with glide. Waveforms can sync to any waveform phase at a note-on, and they can be frequency modulated as well. In short they can be used as LFO's, complex envelopes, or audio rate oscillators.

The six morphing envelopes are really something else. With each envelope providing initial Delay, Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain, Release, as well as a loop time when they are set to Repeat. Ultra precise and snappy they provide envelope times from 0ms to 14.7 seconds per each stage. Each envelope provides multiple envelope curve selections, and can be one-shot, normal envelope types, or looping.

And did you notice they can morph? Yes, that's right! Envelopes can morph and modulate between two individual values per each envelope stage.

The analogue multimode filter provides six primary filter types being: 4-pole low-pass, 2-pole low-pass, 1-pole low-pass, 2-pole band-pass, 2-pole high-pass, 2-pole notch, with some additional selections to define a filter's self resonance response, and also to recreate a very unique characteristic of the EMS VCS type filter modulation. The filter can track notes played on the keyboard, has a dedicated LFO, Envelope, and one additional modulation source.

And finally the analogue VCA before all those sweet sounds hit our ears. The Amplifier VCA has a dedicated morphing envelope as well.

This synthesizer covers so much sonic territory from analogue to digital sounds, traditional to experimental, bass, leads, solos, percussion, effects, drones, ambient sounds, and those yet to be discovered.

Klavis Grainity Granular Digitally-Controlled Full-Analogue Path Granular & Multi-Mode VCF Module (silver) (filter/phase shifter/pitch shifter synth module)

Klavis

Cat: 934965

Digitally-controlled full-analogue path granular & multi-mode VCF module in 10HP.

Notes: The Grainity brings a unique and never-heard-before concept to the world of analogue VCF.

While being based on analogue filtering only, the Grainity expands and enriches the sound in creating subharmonics, harmonies, unison, flanging effects and formant filtering all at once.

The module presents two sections, the granular filter itself and a typical multimode filter, each with its own output.

A third output offers a mix of both filter paths. Numerous controls and CV allow a very wide palette of results.

What is the Grainity

Granular?

The word granular was chosen for this filter module in relation to the concept invented by the composer Yannis Xenakis, and which is described as assembling small chops of sounds - he called grains - according to a pattern.

This is exactly what the Grainity does, no more no less ... but, digital control allows doing it in ways that are decades away from what tape and scissors allowed at the time.

Technology wise ...

In the granular section, the incoming sound cycle is determined in order to step through various filtering and phase variations of itself according to predefined patterns called structures.

The controls allow alterations to the cycling phase, cycling frequency offset (tuning), structure selection and frequency division of the filters cycling. This comes in addition to the usual filter frequency and resonance controls.

What the Grainity is not

Technology wise ...

Despite relying on a microprocessor, the Grainity is not a digital audio processor. At any time, the sound remains in the analog domain and goes through analog circuits from in to out.
The digital processor does not convert or generate audio signals; it is there to control the analog circuitry and manage the interface and display.

Sound wise ...

Several digital modules offering granular processing rely on the layering of sound grains, which leads to blurry and cloudy textures.
Layering of the grains is a late addition to the concept of granular synthesis and is not a mandatory feature of the concept.
The Grainity does not use delay lines or sampling memory but is nevertheless true to the foundations of the granular synthesis concept.

The granular VCF in the Grainity is unconventional in that, most of times, it is not filtering the sound in the common expectation of removing something. Typically, the granular process adds more than it removes by expanding both the lower range, creating subharmonics, and the upper harmonic contents in multiples ways.

TOUCH SENSITIVE CONTROLLER settings

Behaviour:
- single: 12 key mode
- twin*: 2x6 key mode, the parameters are the same for both sides
- split*: 2x6 key mode, but with separate parameters for both sides (e. g.: you can have an arpeggiator on one side, but a basic keyboard controller on the other side)
* in twin and split modes the pressure output acts as the note CV output, therefore pressure parameters (output, rise and fall) have no effect

Arpeggiator state:
- off: the module acts as a keyboard controller
- on: enables arpeggiator

Arpeggiator hold:
- off: the arpeggiator will play only while the keys are held
- on: the arpeggiator will continue to play the last progression after the keys are released

Arpeggiator clock:
- sets the clock multiplication/division ratio for the arpeggiator

Arpeggiator direction:
- forward
- backward

Arpeggiator rhythm length: sets the length of the rhythm sequencer. 1 - 8 steps

Portamento: creates slew limiting effect on the CV output, sets the speed of gliding (ie: how much time it takes to transition from one pitch to the next). 0 - 255

Legato:
- off: portamento is always on
- on: gliding happens only when two or more note plates are touched simultaneously (this parameter has no effect when arpeggiator is enabled)

Vibrato speed: sets the speed of the LFO that's modulating the note CV output. 0 - 127

Vibrato depth: sets the modulation amount. 0 - 127

Vibrato delay: specifies a time delay before vibrato begins to apply until it reaches the full strength specified by the depth parameter. 0 - 127

Vibrato pressure control: when enabled, the modulation amount is altered by the pressure applied to keys.
- off
- on

Pressure output:
- pressure: voltage on the pressure output will continuously follow the pressure applied to key plates
- ASR: attack/sustain/release envelope generator
- AD: attack/decay envelope generator
- LOOP: looped AD envelope generator
- random: outputs a random voltage

Rise: creates slew limiting effect on rising edge in pressure and random modes, sets attack time in envelope modes. 0 - 255

Fall: creates slew limiting effect on falling edge in pressure and random modes, sets decay/release time in envelope modes. 0 - 255

SoMa Laboratory Terra Polyphonic Microtonal Synthesiser (dark oak) (synthesiser)

Soma Laboratory

Cat: 955441

A complex polyphonic, microtonal synthesiser with a broad and flexible sound palette.

Notes: TERRA is a new SOMA Labs synth that is currently in development.

TERRA is a highly conceptual device. The core idea is unity of nature and technology, and a perfect balance between simplicity and versatility. Behind the extremely simple interface hides a complex polyphonic, microtonal synthesizer with a broad and flexible sound palette that ranges from classical beautiful tones to complex atonal noise, and offers smooth and fast transitions between these extremes.

The innovative keyboard design invites new playing techniques and covers the full range of a grand piano with the possibility to tune each note with an accuracy of 125 steps per semitone. To achieve this range with such a simple keyboard we designed a unique system of pitch shifting using four additional sensors. Pressing different combinations of them will result in 16 variations of keyboard transposing, including up to 3 octaves up and down, fifth, fourth, third, tone etc.

Not only do you get the full range of a grand piano in a very compact design, TERRA also offers an entirely new and different approach to playing melodies and chords.

The keyboard consists of 12-note sensors with velocity and pressure sensitivity allowing for the manual creation of slow attack and vibrato, 4 dynamic sensors for timbre modification and control, 4 pitch-shifting sensors and 2 hold sensors for holding the state of the timbre and note sensors.

Inside TERRA there is a three-axis motion sensor for creating a variety of different modulations by simple intuitive movements of your hands and body.

TERRA is digital and contains 32 complex synthesis algorithms. Each algorithm has been carefully designed to be a complete and flexible musical instrument on its own, ready for learning and playing in its own unique way. The goal is to free the musician from long exhausting programming, setting hundreds of parameters for creating one timbre, and instead putting the focus directly on music and performance and following your imagination and inspiration.

TERRA offers the best of both worlds: the direct intuitive tactile connection from acoustic instruments and the flexibility and versatility of synthesizers. TERRA inherits design principles from LYRA-8 and also contains application of the new principles that were announced for ReFLEX, exploring the future of synthesis.

TERRA has an extremely simple interface that gives you instant access to all its functions in several touches, including saving and loading the 96 presets that are stored directly on the playing sensors. TERRA has no display. Instead it shows and lets you dial all necessary data on the 6 LED-sensor triangle in the centre.

TERRA has a built-in FX processor so the stereo output is ready to use, making it a perfect stand-alone performance instrument. While the sound generation is digital, TERRA has a unique custom-built and top quality analogue part that makes it sound rich, natural, clear and powerful at the same time.

The housing of TERRA comes from a solid piece of wood, making each instrument unique and slightly different. In the photo above and in the announcement demo video you can see the prototype of the synth. The final design is in development and we intend to make several different versions.

TERRA is a sanctuary for a natural soul right in the middle of the rumbling plastic world, a ground where you can breathe in and out slowly, and hold on to your roots.

TERRA is our dream about a bright future where we will be both technologically advanced and more connected to nature, where machines and technology are not a prison for our feelings and spirit but their extension.

Xaoc Devices Batumi II 1974 Quadruple Low Frequency Oscillator II Module (digital/LFO/oscillator/quad/random/clock generator/CV modulation module)

Xaoc Devices

Cat: 979276 Rel: 31 Jan 24

Quadruple low frequency oscillator module - 10HP

Notes: Xaoc Devices presents Batumi II - a greatly improved and enhanced new iteration of the modern day classic that is/was the original Batumi, preserving its layout and form factor. The premise remains the same: four LFO's with individual outputs for sine, assign and rectangle waves. The channels can operate independently or they can be linked - phase shifted, divided or multiplied (new mode alert) with regard to the first channel. Multiple major and minor improvements have been implemented, e.g. when synced to an external clock source, each channel's frequency slider selects a clock division for that channel's outputs.

Xaoc Devices have managed to incorporate the features of the original expander into Batumi II (sync mode switching and assign waveform selection) without changing the size of the module which opened up new possibilities for the new optional expander. The Poti II expander for Batumi II adds multi destination inputs for sine wavefolding, assign output waveform selection or rectangle pulse modulation with the destination set for each channel independently. Poti II also features frequency input attenuation as well as sine and assign output attenuation. All adjustments may be performed separately for each individual channel or for all channels simultaneously.

The Batumi II software has been rewritten from scratch to ensure best performance. The hardware has also been updated to allow for V/oct tracking and stable operation up to audio rates (more powerful CPU, precise, wideband converters, antialiased waveforms).

-4 LFO's
- redesigned from scratch - both the hardware and software
- new waveforms for the assign output (including random)
- new frequency multiplication mode
- all features of the Poti expander incorporated into the main module
- very wide frequency range well into audio rate
- 1V/oct tracking = so can be used as 4 VCO's
- in the Phase/Divide/Mult modes the random waves at the ASGN output follow the values available in the master/A channel
- 10HP
- +90/-50mA

Klavis Grainity Digitally-Controlled Full-Analogue Path Granular & Multi-Mode VCF Module (black) (filter/phase shifter/pitch shifter synth module)

Klavis

Cat: 951606

Digitally-controlled full-analogue path granular and multi-mode VCF module - 10HP.

Notes: Digitally-controlled full-analogue path Granular + Multimode VCF

The Grainity brings a unique and never-heard-before concept to the world of analogue VCF.

While being based on analogue filtering only, the Grainity expands and enriches the sound in creating subharmonics, harmonies, unison, flanging effects and formant filtering all at once.

The module presents two sections, the granular filter itself and a typical multimode filter, each with its own output.

A third output offers a mix of both filter paths. Numerous controls and CV allow a very wide palette of results.

What is the Grainity

Granular?

The word granular was chosen for this filter module in relation to the concept invented by the composer Yannis Xenakis, and which is described as assembling small chops of sounds - he called grains - according to a pattern.

This is exactly what the Grainity does, no more no less ... but, digital control allows doing it in ways that are decades away from what tape and scissors allowed at the time.

Technology wise ...

In the granular section, the incoming sound cycle is determined in order to step through various filtering and phase variations of itself according to predefined patterns called structures.

The controls allow alterations to the cycling phase, cycling frequency offset (tuning), structure selection and frequency division of the filters cycling. This comes in addition to the usual filter frequency and resonance controls.

What the Grainity is not

Technology wise ...

Despite relying on a microprocessor, the Grainity is not a digital audio processor. At any time, the sound remains in the analogue domain and goes through analogue circuits from in to out.

The digital processor does not convert or generate audio signals; it is there to control the analogue circuitry and manage the interface and display.

Sound wise ...

Several digital modules offering granular processing rely on the layering of sound grains, which leads to blurry and cloudy textures.

Layering of the grains is a late addition to the concept of granular synthesis and is not a mandatory feature of the concept.

The Grainity does not use delay lines or sampling memory but is nevertheless true to the foundations of the granular synthesis concept.

The granular VCF in the Grainity is unconventional in that, most of times, it is not filtering the sound in the common expectation of removing something. Typically, the granular process adds more than it removes by expanding both the lower range, creating subharmonics, and the upper harmonic contents in multiples ways.

Eowave Ricochet Quad Chained Decay & VCA Module (drum/dynamics/envelope generator/quad/sequencer/VCA synth module)

Eowave

Cat: 947808

Quad chained decays and VCAs module in 14HP.

Notes: Ricochet is a compact, fully analogue module featuring four interconnected decay envelopes, each with its own VCA and an integrated noise generator.

The module's design is inspired by the way skipping stones bounce on the water, creating a versatile tool for crafting percussive sounds.

The exponential envelopes are specifically designed to generate dynamic percussive tones. The unique linking function connects the end of one envelope's decay to the trigger of the next, enabling the subsequent envelope to activate once the previous one ends. This innovative feature allows you to create ratcheted envelope.

A front-panel trimmer lets you adjust the threshold for triggering subsequent envelopes, while a rear header enables connecting two Ricochet modules together, or linking the last envelope to the first. This feature transform the Ricochet to a weird sequencer where the steps length depend of the decay times.

Since Ricochet is fully analogic, trig inputs are velocity-sensitive, responding to a standard gates but also allowing attenuation to modify the envelope's velocity (you can play with the dynamic of your sound by attenuating the trigg input. Ricochet is also perfect to play with drum pads).

Each VCA features a gain control that can be pushed to achieve subtle saturation.

All envelopes and VCAs have separate outputs, but there are also mixed audio and envelope outputs. When an individual output is connected, it is removed from the mix. The decay modulation inputs are normalized between each other.

Last but not least, an analogue noise generator is normalised to the first input, so you can use ricochet on it's own to create hi hat kind of sounds

Main features:

- Fully analogue design so everything is responsive to the amplitude
- Unique linked envelopes feature
- Compact 4 envelopes 4 VCAs module
- Linkable to a second ricochet or looping back the last envelope to the first one

Some applications:

Compact stereo mixer module in 10HP.

Notes: A compact stereo line mixer created with live performance and space optimisation in mind. This 6-channel stereo mixer has a fully analogue audio path with 2 VCAs per channel controlled by fines tuned analogue envelopes to minimise mute clicks. It also embeds a unique mute swap function with 6 modes allowing you to automate muting.

Supamix is a compact stereo line mixer designed for live performances and space optimization.
This 6-channel stereo mixer features a fully analogue audio path with 2 VCAs per channel and finely
tuned analogue envelopes for vactrol-like muting control minimizing mute clicks.

Supamix also includes a unique mute swap function with six modes, offering versatile
mute automation possibilities.

The mixer is designed with a variety of input options to accommodate different needs while
being compact:

- Inputs 1/2 have manual pan controls for placing static sounds within the mix.
- Inputs 3/4 have CV pan controls to moving sound sources in the stereo field
- Inputs 5/6 are stereo, making it easy to mix modules with stereo outputs (right input is normalized to the left) to mix the growing catalogue of stereo modules.

A header on the back allow you to use the L output as a TRS stereo output. Another header is here to link the Supamix with the O phone/line module.

The Swap functions on the modules are both useful for transitioning between sound scenes or creative applications. To change the swap modes on Supamix, press the Shift button and one of the mutes. If you press the Swap button, it will activate the swap manually. The following are the swap modes available.

1 -> Scene change gate : Reverse the mutes states when a gate is high
2 -> Scene change trig : reverse the mutes state when trigged (or if the swap button is pushed)
3 -> Binary counter : CV input between 0 and 5v will correspond to a 6 bit binary counter. At 0v mutes will be all oo, 5v will be all open. And it will count as follow :100000 010000 110000.....
4 -> Randomizer: Trigg to randomize the mutes. You can change the probability of having the mutes on by using a trigger between 2 and 5v.
5 -> Sequencer: Trig to go one step further. It reverse the current step mute state.
6 -> State rotation: Rotate the mute state 0v there isn't rotation, 5v is a full cycle rotation. This shift the mutes state (last one goes to first one)

Plum Audio ADVA Smart Multimode Filter Module (black) (distortion/filter/noise/VCA synth module)

Plum Audio

Cat: 970492 Rel: 31 Dec 23

24dB analogue multimode filter module with VCA, white noise generator, pre and post-distortions and a smart interface - 6HP.

Notes: ADVA is a fat-sounding 24dB ANALOGUE MULTIMODE FILTER packed with features including a VCA, white noise generator, pre and post-distortions and a smart interface that makes it a versatile beast in a surprisingly small package.

With 7 filter modes, ADVA provides high richness and a wide variety of tones; it can filter gently like an LPG or it can be pushed up to the edges of hot acid tones.

Unlike many other multimode filters, a phase keeper ensures that ADVA never inverts the input's phase in any of its filter modes.

Self-Oscillation is available for all modes, producing a range of waves from clean sine waves up to soft square waves when activating the post-distortion circuit. Together with V/OCT tracking, ADVA works brilliantly as an oscillator or as a percussive sound generator.

A resonance loudness compensation circuit ensures that ADVA does not compromise on volume when the resonance is increased.

An Internal analogue white noise generator is the little bit of spice that can make the world of difference. Blend it together with the input signal by rotating the dedicated knob to add more richness to your sound and further emphasize cutoff movements, or use it as an FM source to achieve the different flavors of dirty tones.

ADVA is packed with two separate distortion circuits. First, the soft-clipping overdrive is located in the sound path after the white noise blend knob and the input gain knob, a circuit which can push the incoming signal to thicken any waveform. If you blend the input with the noise generator it can compress the noise and exaggerate it to achieve more aggressive levels.

The second (post) distortion is located after the VCA, just before the output. This is a more aggressive distortion and can be used for acid and other dirty hot tones.

Although the sound path is completely analogue, ADVA has a digital support circuit that enables a smart routing system with the option to modulate filter modes via CV, and a very intuitive interface that includes 3 CLICKKNOBS and an RGB LED ring that provides visual feedback for whatever state the filter is in.

Eowave Domino Reskin Analogue Monophonic Synthesiser Module (oscillator/synth voice/VCA synth module)

Eowave

Cat: 949499

Analogue monophonic synthesiser module in 10HP.

Notes: The classical Eowave synth voice has a new skin matching with the new product line.

The Domino is an analogue all-in-one synth voice with saw/square wave oscillator, ladder type low pass filter, envelope and VCA - it is designed for pure beefiness and grunt in the low end department. It excels at basslines, acid, kicks and low throbbing drones.

The core of the module is a dual waveforms oscillator with saw and square. The pulse width of the square can be modulated with the PWM input.

The pitch knob over a range is of 1 octave, designed to be used primarily in lower ranges. The CV input control the oscillator pitch in v/oct but is also normalised to the f Mod input. When the f mod potentiometer is fully open, the filter can be controlled in v/oct. Since the filter as self-oscillation capabilities, you can also use it as an oscillator.

The decay envelope is controlling the filter cutoff and is normalized to the oscillator pitch input.

The Domino provides two envelopes control options with its gate>VCA and envelope>VCA switch, allowing you to choose between using a gate signal or the decay envelope to shape the VCA response.

The Mix knob enables blending between the saw and square waves. Connect external sound sources to the Mix 1 and Mix 2 inputs to replace the saw wave and square wave, respectively.

This module also provides the dry oscillator waveforms output as well as the envelope output.

Buchla Music Easel (Retro) Modular Analogue Synthesiser (modular analogue synthesiser)

Buchla

Cat: 956180

The development of the legendary modular analogue synthesiser by Don Buchla.

Notes: The Buchla Music Easel was one of the first truly portable electronic music instruments. Fifty years ago, in 1973, only a few dozen were made. Unlike many iconic technologies, the influence was not grown through force of scale, but rather the force of the ideas. The Music Easel made available virtually every musical dimension: timbre, melody, rhythm, and time; how these dimensions intersected was no longer the court of acoustics and material, but signals and voltage. The 208 Stored Program Sound Source engendered "a new functional organization [with a] particularly rapid system of patching and program storage via plug-in cards."

Taking cues from the then-recent discipline of cybernetics, the 218 touch plate was for "real-time communication" to help realize the "potential vocabulary" of the Easel, rather than exploiting existing modes of musical virtuosity. The Stored Program Cards ensured rapid repeatability and repertoire on its own terms. The battery terminals made sure the music was as portable as any acoustic instrument. And the name let you know it was designed for art rather than science.

Buchla is ecstatic to revive the Music Easel for its third run in 50 years. Buchla first released the updated 208 Stored Program Sound Source, dubbed the Easel Command, with expanded MIDI and USB capability. Next came the update of the Easel Program Manager - a complete kit for storing and recalling sounds sources, even more rapidly than imagined in 1973. The new 218 Touch Activated Voltage Source provides the optimal input facility, as originally envisioned. It is now all together in a rugged case and the advanced EMBIO module that unifies all the audio and control inputs and outputs for integration with the rest of your musical world.

More than a retro novelty, the Music Easel still speaks to a future we strive for. A technology that invites conversation, not chats, and controls that engage expression, not work. There are many new worlds to explore in this instrument created at the crossroads of the jazz and computer ages. Designed as "an integrated assemblage of functions", rather than a collection of modules, the Music Easel's colour coding, comfortable access to controls, and solid patch connections allow for satisfying sessions of sonic discovery.

The Music Easel (retro) is available for pre-order starting in June 16 at Buchla.com and your favorite Buchla Dealer with delivery expected in winter 2023.

Stored Program Sound Source Model 208C

The sound source of the Music Easel is the 208C, which includes a complex oscillator and a modulation oscillator (which can also serve as another voice), each with independent switchable waveforms, as well as a noise generator, allowing for rich and intricate sound design. The 208C also features a five-stage sequencer, envelope generator, pulser and modulation source - with switchable triggers - allowing for complex patterns and evolving textures. The dual low pass gate provides dynamic control over the tone and amplitude of the sound, as well as natural-sounding decay and sustain. The 208C has a number of modulation sources, including a random voltage generator, the envelope generator, modulation oscillator, and an envelope detector. These sources can be used to modulate various parameters via the extensive patchfield - creating movement, texture, and complexity. The 208C also includes a mixer section with spring reverb.

Touch Activated Voltage Source Model 218e (v3)

The first design appeared in the 1973 release of the Buchla Music Easel and named for the spacecraft that delivered astronauts to the moon. Providing the familiar piano key layout for this early mobile music machine, the additional controls and capabilities were an interface for exploring uncharted musical territory. With the new version 3, it's been elevated with a new foundation of stable, modern electronics with incredible sensitivity and accuracy - the lightest touch will produce triggers and control voltages. The adjustable sensor has the dynamic range and durability to handle your playing. The new texture not only improves the sensing, but provides a satisfying tactile experience. As always, pressure is an expressive output, adding an extra dimension to the control. MIDI outputs velocity and polyphony, as well as channel pressure, making the 218e a uniquely expressive controller. The 218e includes portamento and an arpeggiator, which can be driven by external inputs and are allowed to interact with the automated notes to make patterns more complex. Additional controls allow you to blend different patterns and randomness to easily change from the expected to the surprising. The classic preset voltage knobs offer several possible ways to shift your sounds into new territory. Not only can the knobs be used for quick access to voltages for your patch, they can control arpeggiation modes and octave shifting. Pads output pulses for additional control. The 218e also gives you a unique interface to playing your existing MIDI gear and soft synths. Each touch outputs note name, channel pressure, and velocity for every note, along with sustain controls from a pedal. Polyphonic MIDI mode lets you play chords. The touchstrip can act as a pitch bend control, or as a mod wheel for additional expressive control. Easily configured using the front panel controls, you can send notes and controls on any MIDI channel.

Electric Music Box Input/Output (EMBIO)

Maintaining the spirit, sound, and process from the original, the new Music Easel adds a variety of new features. Buchla's latest renditions of the Stored Program Sound Source and Touch Activated Voltage Source are tied together with the Electric Music Box Input/Output (EMBIO) module. This of course provides MIDI out (mini jack and USB) and CV out from the 218, MIDI in to the 208, and the audio out from the 208C. Additional creative control comes from the Audio Mixer, for integration with other Buchla modules and systems, and the CV conditioners and controls. The slew control can turn your sequencer into a wavy modulator, or soften up a square LFO. The attenuator and crossfader gives you the opportunity to find new levels and combinations of voltages from existing ones. The pulse converter offers new rhythms to trigger. And a simple LFO provides another valuable modulator when you just can't quite let yourself flip that Mod Osc switch from "high" to "low."

Buchla Music Easel (Modern) Modular Analogue Synthesiser (modular analogue synthesiser)

Buchla

Cat: 956175

The development of Don Buchla's legendary modular analogue synthesiser.

Notes: The Buchla Music Easel was one of the first truly portable electronic music instruments. Fifty years ago, in 1973, only a few dozen were made. Unlike many iconic technologies, the influence was not grown through force of scale, but rather the force of the ideas. The Music Easel made available virtually every musical dimension: timbre, melody, rhythm, and time; how these dimensions intersected was no longer the court of acoustics and material, but signals and voltage. The 208 Stored Program Sound Source engendered "a new functional organization [with a] particularly rapid system of patching and program storage via plug-in cards."

Taking cues from the then-recent discipline of cybernetics, the 218 touch plate was for "real-time communication" to help realize the "potential vocabulary" of the Easel, rather than exploiting existing modes of musical virtuosity. The Stored Program Cards ensured rapid repeatability and repertoire on its own terms. The battery terminals made sure the music was as portable as any acoustic instrument. And the name let you know it was designed for art rather than science.

Buchla is ecstatic to revive the Music Easel for its third run in 50 years. Buchla first released the updated 208 Stored Program Sound Source, dubbed the Easel Command, with expanded MIDI and USB capability. Next came the update of the Easel Program Manager - a complete kit for storing and recalling sounds sources, even more rapidly than imagined in 1973. The new 218 Touch Activated Voltage Source provides the optimal input facility, as originally envisioned. It is now all together in a rugged case and the advanced EMBIO module that unifies all the audio and control inputs and outputs for integration with the rest of your musical world.

More than a retro novelty, the Music Easel still speaks to a future we strive for. A technology that invites conversation, not chats, and controls that engage expression, not work. There are many new worlds to explore in this instrument created at the crossroads of the jazz and computer ages. Designed as "an integrated assemblage of functions", rather than a collection of modules, the Music Easel's colour coding, comfortable access to controls, and solid patch connections allow for satisfying sessions of sonic discovery.

The Music Easel is available for pre-order starting June 16 at Buchla.com and your favourite Buchla Dealer. Delivery of the Music Easel (modern) is expected fall 2023.

Korg microKORG Crystal 37-Key Analogue Synthesiser & Vocoder (analogue synthesiser/vocoder)

Korg

Cat: 944880

The special edition microKORG Crystal offers a unique and stunningly stylish take on this beloved synth - now a classic in its own right.

Notes: A shining homage to two decades of microKORG legacy

The microKORG was originally released in 2002 and has remained strong for two decades. Countless tracks and artists have made use of the amazing possibilities it offers and it continues to be one of the most popular choices for musicians on stage and in the studio.

The instruments that musicians recognise as "classics" are those that are loved and always in use, regardless of times and trends. The word "classic" symbolises musical instruments that are revolutionary in their field. There may be imitations of a classic, but the distinct character of the original shines more brilliantly and is only enhanced by time.

Two decades ago, the portable, battery powered microKORG was born with a radical new micro-keybed, a powerful Vocoder and ready-to-use sounds ideal for contemporary genres delivering countless hit performances, and instantly revolutionising the way musicians played. This compact sound monster introduced synthesis to a vast number of non-keyboard playing musicians and created a way of making music we now take for granted: a small keyboard resting unassumingly atop a larger one onstage, made for use by hobbyists and pros alike and finding itself front and centre of studios worldwide from the smallest bedroom to the largest pro recording facility.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of its release, the special edition microKORG Crystal offers a unique and stunningly stylish take on this beloved synth - now a classic in its own right.

The microKORG was originally released in 2002 and has remained strong for two decades. Countless tracks and artists have made use of the amazing possibilities it offers and it continues to be one of the most popular choices for musicians on stage and in the studio. microKORG Crystal is the ultimate reincarnation of this iconic synth.

"Skeleton" type semi-translucent chassis, with matching knobs and controls

Previously unchanged, the microKORG Crystal features a new take on the structure of the microKORG, with a semi-translucent chassis that lets you see the electronics and internals. Even the controllers are semi-transparent, including the knobs, dials and wheels. As a commemorative model, the microKORG Crystal is great fun to look at from any angle, and as its name suggests, it "crystalizes" the energy and feelings of the KORG team behind its birth.

A panel with a beautiful sheen

The microKORG Crystal features a stainless mirror-finish front panel that blends perfectly with the semi-translucent knobs and dials, blurring the limits between you and your instrument and providing a cosmetic impact never seen in any other musical instrument.

Aluminium side panels for a sturdy feel

The original microKORG featured wooden side panels that suggested a retro feel, serving as an elegant accent to the analogue modelled synth engine. This new special microKORG features sleek aluminium side panels for a clean and depurated look.

Dedicated transparent carry bag

LA Circuits EM-406 Tomahawk Phase Shifter Module (phase shifter/waveshaper synth module)

LA Circuits

Cat: 958679

Dynamic four-stage OTA-based phaser module - 12HP.

Notes: EM-406 Tomahawk is a dynamic four-stage OTA based phaser.

The module has controls for sweep rate, phasing amplitude, notch shift, frequency modulation, and peak emphasis.

The internal oscillator generates a unique type of sine/ hyper triangular waveform, which may be morphed using the waveshaper control knob.

The oscillator's wave shape may also be externally modulated via CV input.

The sweep rate control sets the LFO's frequency, ranging from 0.2Hz to 24Hz.

Tomahawk's phasing character ranges from gradual and thick phasing swells to rapid pulsating shifts.

The LFO's rate and polarity are displayed via led indicators.

The phasing amplitude modifies the LFO's impact on the phase shift, thereby functioning as a phase depth attenuator.

Exponential notch shift modifies the frequency position of the phase notches. The phaser's frequency may also be externally modulated using the CV IN: freq. input, and attenuated with the corresponding frequency modulation control knob.

Peak emphasis modifies the phaser's resonance level. Setting this knob to its maximum level will cause the phaser to self-oscillate.

An external sweep oscillator may also be applied via the ext. LFO IN.

Specifications:

Model: EM-406
Dimensions: 12 HP (3u)
Material: 2 mm anodized aluminium
Power: +/- 12 v | 60 ma
1-year limited warranty with proof of purchase.

Notice to customer: please use the enclosed IDC connector. Problems arising from use of another connector will not be covered and may void your warranty. Modifications or alterations to your module will void your warranty.

Klavis CalTrans Programmable Voltage/Octave CV Calibrator & Transposer Module (black) (quantizer/tuner/utility/quad/slew limiter synth module)

Klavis

Cat: 951637

Programmable voltage and octave CV calibrator and transposer module - 6HP.

Notes: Programmable Volt/Octave CV calibrator and transposer

Clever four-channel utility module designed to make it easier to achieve perfect oscillator tracking and transpose CV signals. Also includes some neat quantising and portamento features.

The CalTrans solves issues encountered when playing tonal music with a modular system: tracking problems, curves unrelated to Volt per octave ratio, limited octave range, cumbersome transpose, ...

The CalTrans corrects and expands the range of troublesome VCOs and brings V/Oct tracking to anything that oscillates.

Besides calibration, the CalTrans offers live play features. Each channel can be quantized and any combination of them transposed jointly.

A pair of rotary encoders with detent allow an precise selection of octaves and semitones.

VCOs whose tracking doesn't go high enough to follow the leader will see their pitch repositioned in their highest possible octave so that the global harmony is unaffected.

You can add a pinch of portamento and glissando to each channel and save the whole in user presets.

Firmware 1.17 offers:
* User editable input scaling to match sources that don't generate perfect 1V per octave signals.
* Complete rewrite of the main processing with higher precision.
* ... and the unavoidable fixes and tweaks ;-)

The updated user manual 1.4 is much expanded with operations described in exquisite details :-)
.. and a version 1.5 corrects a mistake in the input calibration description and eases the reading elsewhere.

Notes: OCTOPASS is an eight voice 24db/octave low pass filter based on the classic 2044 filter. All eight filters are fully analogue with gain compensation of resonance and the lovely lush sound of classic synths. A global frequency modulation CV using a 3.5mm jack can be used to modulate all eight incoming CVs of the Polytip jack. The typical use is to patch polyphonic synthesisers with the use of only a few Polytip patch cables for its audio ins and outs and its cut-off frequency controls. To tap each filter I/O or CV using discrete modules the OCTO I/O module can be used as an expander. As there are eight filters in the module special attention has been given to power consumption efficiency.

Plum Audio ADVA Smart Multimode Filter Module (silver) (distortion/filter/noise/VCA synth module)

Plum Audio

Cat: 970499 Rel: 31 Dec 23

24dB analogue multimode filter module with VCA, white noise generator, pre and post-distortions and a smart interface - 6HP.

Notes: ADVA is a fat-sounding 24dB ANALOGUE MULTIMODE FILTER packed with features including a VCA, white noise generator, pre and post-distortions and a smart interface that makes it a versatile beast in a surprisingly small package.

With 7 filter modes, ADVA provides high richness and a wide variety of tones; it can filter gently like an LPG or it can be pushed up to the edges of hot acid tones.

Unlike many other multimode filters, a phase keeper ensures that ADVA never inverts the input's phase in any of its filter modes.

Self-Oscillation is available for all modes, producing a range of waves from clean sine waves up to soft square waves when activating the post-distortion circuit. Together with V/OCT tracking, ADVA works brilliantly as an oscillator or as a percussive sound generator.

A resonance loudness compensation circuit ensures that ADVA does not compromise on volume when the resonance is increased.

An Internal analogue white noise generator is the little bit of spice that can make the world of difference. Blend it together with the input signal by rotating the dedicated knob to add more richness to your sound and further emphasize cutoff movements, or use it as an FM source to achieve the different flavors of dirty tones.

ADVA is packed with two separate distortion circuits. First, the soft-clipping overdrive is located in the sound path after the white noise blend knob and the input gain knob, a circuit which can push the incoming signal to thicken any waveform. If you blend the input with the noise generator it can compress the noise and exaggerate it to achieve more aggressive levels.

The second (post) distortion is located after the VCA, just before the output. This is a more aggressive distortion and can be used for acid and other dirty hot tones.

Although the sound path is completely analogue, ADVA has a digital support circuit that enables a smart routing system with the option to modulate filter modes via CV, and a very intuitive interface that includes 3 CLICKKNOBS and an RGB LED ring that provides visual feedback for whatever state the filter is in.

4x VCA-decay & mute group module - 16HP.

Notes: Punch MG is a unique module with VCA-DECAY & Mute GROUP designed for Eurorack systems.

This module has been specially crafted to generate dynamic percussive sounds while also offering the capability to manage multiple signals simultaneously through its innovative mute group feature.

Punch MG provides a versatile platform for crafting dynamic percussive sounds. With its mute group feature, it allows you to handle numerous signals concurrently.

The manual will guide you through the various features and functions of Punch MG, enabling you to explore its full potential.

Key Features:

Dynamic Sound Generation: Punch MG is engineered to generate dynamic percussive sounds with finesse, offering a range of creative possibilities.

Mute Group Interaction and Signal Patterning: Utilize the mute group feature to enable interactions between signals that share the same group.

This feature enables signal muting and amplitude limitation when multiple signals are triggered simultaneously. The amplitude and decay time of each signal are influenced by others in the same group. This characteristic can lead to captivating pattern variations when focusing on specific channels.

Expandable Capability: By linking two modules, you can expand the effect of the mute group to accommodate up to eight signals, fostering intricate interactions and captivating sonic landscapes.

AM Sound Creation: Connect audio rate signals to the level input to explore the creation of AM (Amplitude Modulation) sounds, further extending the sound design possibilities.

Envelope outs: Each envelope's polarity can be inverted using dedicated switches on the front panel, enabling you to achieve effects like side-chain compression and ducking. Moreover, the mute group circuit's influence extends to the envelope signal output, providing intriguing modulation capabilities that add a unique layer of creative expression to your sonic endeavours.

Flame Ton Duophonic Melody Looper & Quantizer Module (sequencer/looper/random/dual/stereo/quantize synth module)

Flame

Cat: 973767 Rel: 31 Dec 23

Duophonic melody looper and quantizer module - 12HP.

Notes: "TON" is a 12HP wide Eurorack live sequencer module for creating two note sequences. There are two 1V/octave outputs with GATE/NOTE/VELOCITY. Notes can also be sent via MIDI. Both note tracks are independent of each other and can be used in different octave spreads. In addition to the analog connection, the module has full MIDI functionality. It can be synchronized via analogue clock or via MIDI.

The sequencer is designed as a looper. It plays a pattern of up to four bars in a loop. The notes can be played (or deleted) quantized with two buttons. One button is used for note repeats, another for setting individual events. The pitch is determined by either the potentiometer or the built-in distance sensor. The sensor works in a range of about 1 to 40 cm and is independent of extraneous light. Even bright sunlight does not affect it.

A 1-octave mini-keyboard allows transposing on the fly and setting a scale. Since the module has two CV inputs, it can also be used as a two-channel quantizer or arpeggiator. All settings of the current pattern are simply saved together in a patch. There are 5 banks with 7 seats each (per mini-keyboard) available. This allows up to 35 patterns to be managed. The patches can also be selected via CV or MIDI program change and can be saved and reloaded on the fly.

The pattern can be manipulated during and after the import with eg: gate length, velocity, random, last step, hold, mute, glide, scale and transposition. Both tracks can have different settings. With TRACK-Link, however, parameters can also be applied to both tracks at the same time. This is helpful, for example, with transpositions or duophonic playing.

Tesseract Modular UFO 8 Low Frequency Oscillation Module (LFO synth module)

Tesseract Modular

Cat: 974272 Rel: 31 Jan 24

8 triangle low frequency oscillations module - 4HP.

Notes: 8 triangle LFOs with relative frequencies and CV control.

Output voltage is +/- 5.25v (10.5Vpp).

Upper LFO is the fastest and lower is the slowest one. The frequency ratio between LFOs is approx 3/2 (or 1.5), being at max speed the upper 13.5Hz and the lower one 1Hz .

The frequency range with the potentiometer is 80-90%.

Negative voltages present at the CV input will stop the oscillation of all LFOs, but the potentiometer it's an offset, which means that will act as a manual frequency control and will also set the voltage range for the CV input, allowing negative voltages when set to max.
