Cat: 1006079 Rel: 30 Jun 24 • View all Synth modules
 
Quad voltage controlled low frequency oscillator module - 10HP
Notes: The 4VCLFO is four LFOs with triangle Outputs in 10hp. It features a knob for the Frequency of each LFO and CV inputs with attenuators.

The "Aux" input is normalized to the four CV inputs, so you can modulate all LFOs with one signal at the same time. Plugging a cable into the CV input breaks its connection from the aux input.

This way you can create more interesting Modulations for your Patches.

You can easily customise LFO speeds to your liking by changing capacitor values on the back.

Features:

- Size: 10hp
- Single SMD Pre-soldered PCB design
- 10 pin power

CubuSynth Exhaust v2 Expander Module For Engine v2
Cat: 1006096 Rel: 30 Jun 24 • View all Synth modules
 
Expander module fr the Engine v2
Notes: The Exhaust adds many features to your Engine V2 VCO module like Sub-octaves, Mixing and a Gate / Trigger generated by the Chaos signal.

You can select one of the two VCO cores of the engine to Produce Square Waves one and two octaves below the Oscillators frequency. You can blend between -1 and -2 octaves and Set the volume they are Mixed into the Main "Mix" output.

The knobs "VCO1" "VCO2" and "AM" set the level of the selected waveform of each VCO and the AM output from the Engine to the Main Mix. The "Ext In" Input is normalled from the RM output, but you can plug in any other signal to go to the Main Mix.

The V Ref sets a Voltage between 0V and +10V which compares against the Chaos signal from the engine (Chaos attenuator on the Engine doesn't matter). Whenever the Chaos signal is higher in Voltage than the Knob setting, It will Give you a Gate or Trigger signal depending on the switch. There is also a CV input, which offsets your V Ref and can create interesting Rhythms.

Features:

Two Sub-Octave generator with selection switch, Mix knob for -1 and -2 octaves (marked as /2 and /4)
5 Channel Audio Mixer for 4 different Outputs from the Engine and level for the Sub-Octave generator
External Input for Mixing with other signals

CubuSynth ADSR VC Looping Envelope Generator Module
Cat: 1006105 Rel: 30 Jun 24 • View all Synth modules
 
Voltage controlled looping envelope generator module - 10HP
Notes: The CubuSynth ADSR Module is a VC looping envelope generator, with controls for the Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release stages, for overall Time of the envelope and CV inputs for Time and Level.

The EnvGen8 chip was written/designed by Tom Wiltshire aka "Electric Druid".

1 ATTACK (1ms - 10s)
Sets the time, the Envelope takes to reach full level from the moment a gate is detected (Key is pressed)
2 DECAY (1ms - 10s)
Sets the time, after the envelope hits full level, to fade to the level set by the SUSTAIN Knob.
3 SUSTAIN (0% - 100%)
Sets the Volume to stay after the decay, while the GATE input is high.
4 RELEASE (1ms - 10s)
Sets the time for the fade out on falling edge of the GATE input (after the Key is released)
5 MODE switch
Select between exponential and linear curves.
6 PUNCH switch
Adds extra thump to very short percussive envelopes
7 LOOPING MODE switch
Allows selection between three different modes of operation. Gated mode is a normal envelope. Gated Looping will
trigger the ATTACK stage when the GATE goes high, then continue looping whilst the GATE remains high, and will
RELEASE to zero when the GATE goes low. The LFO Looping mode loops continuously and ignores input from the
GATE.
8 TIME (x1 - x100)
Overall Time control which shortens the length of the entire envelope.
9 TIME CV Attenuator
Attenuates incoming CV for Time modulation. Higher voltages will shorten the
length of the envelope.
10 TRIG Input
Re-trigger for the envelope. Useful for Polyphonic patches. Envelope goes to
ATTACK stage on rising edge of 0-5V pulse while Gate can still be on.
11 GATE Input
Normalized to TRIG Input. Envelope goes to RELEASE stage on the falling edge.
12 Level CV Input
Control the overall Volume of the envelope. Can be used for velocity control.
If nothing is plugged in, the Volume stays on max.
13 OUT
CV-output of the envelope (0 to +5V)
14 LED
Indicates the output voltage.
15 TIME CV
CV Input for Time modulation. Higher voltages will shorten the length of the
envelope.
16 INV. OUT
Inverted voltage of the output CV (0 to -5V)

Write Lines: Adventures In Rap Journalism by Andrew Emery
Cat: 1006258 • View all Music books
 
Write Lines: Adventures in Rap Journalism tells the tale of hip-hop writing from the inside
Notes: Having failed at rapping, what's next for an endlessly passionate rap nerd? In this sequel to the acclaimed memoir Wiggaz With Attitude, it turns out what's next is a sometimes controversial career in rap journalism.

Write Lines: Adventures in Rap Journalism tells the tale of hip-hop writing from the inside. From death threats to interviewing Lauryn Hill while she's in the shower. From calling Jay-Z a c*** to his face, to letting a notorious rapper sleep in his bath, it's a hilarious, anecdote-studded tale that takes in hip-hop's first-ever magazine and lifts the lid on rivalries, squabbles and how music journalism really works.

Brutally honest, and endlessly opinionated, this story is also a love letter to hip-hop as it changed seismically through the decades. Write Lines charts those changes from the front line through encounters with many of the greats of rap: Chuck D, Missy Elliott, RZA, Eminem, Jazzy Jeff and Gang Starr among them. This is an unfiltered tale of hip-hop that is both heartfelt and scabrously funny.

""With its relatable take on growing up in the 80s, Andrew Emery's Wiggaz With Attitude marked his card as a vivid memoirist. He might have failed as a wannabe rapper, but the music he loved gained multitudes from his work for Hip-Hop Connection. A pivotal force in the magazine's 90s/00s heyday, never short of a telling opinion or four, Andrew set a high bar for its other writers to reach. Write Lines is a transportive account of his many travails in that murky world. Packed with eye-watering encounters and witty asides, his compulsive, self-deprecating and brutally honest reflections will resonate widely and change perspectives on rap journalism forever." - Andy Cowan, HHC Editor & Publisher, author of B-Side: A Flipsided History of Pop.

16-voice virtual analogue & FM synthesiser
Notes: It starts with a dream

We are all fans of synthesizers, their vintage sound, classic and modern at the same time, their ability to mix several timbres. We love the musical journey that transports us while listening to each new presets.

We also like guitar and bass. Standing or sitting, in your studio or on stage, playing on guitar or bass is this tremendous energy, this way in which the intensity of the playing is in total connection with the music you want to create. A sweet ballad, a melodious arpeggio, a hell of a bass line, a stratospheric lead, an awesome riff.

What if we could express all that but with a great synth sound?

The dream came true, and even more!

A modern synth played like a guitar or a bass

Elyra is played with the typical gestures of playing guitar and bass and all the energy that comes from it. You play with your whole body.

There are two strumming aera for strings, one dedicated to back and forth and another dedicated to bass and arpeggios.

Elyra is designed to be played by both right-handed and left-handed people.

You can also play it placed on a table or on your knees like a groove box.

A powerful and unique composition tool

With up to 16 voices polyphony, spread across 16 instruments/layers and with is powerful sequencer, Elyra is more than a groovebox, it is a composition tool.
You can have one instrument with 16 voices or 16 instruments with one voice and everything in between.

Because Elyra is battery powered, you can carry it anywhere with you and play for several hours.

You can play and sequence all your other instruments via MIDI port.

A sound engine is made for this instrument by Kodamo.

At the core of Elyra there is a powerful and beautiful sound engine created for by Kodamo.

It is a virtual analogue engine based on subtractive synthesis with just enough FM synthesis to offer a vast sound territory.

It has many parameters to sculpt and create a unique sound.

Electronics and wood

Elyra is made of electronics and wood.

The electronic parts are designed in France and comply with environmental standards and in particular RoHS.

The body of the instrument is made of wood. It is cut and assembled in France. The wood is only chosen from sustainable or recycled sources.

Elyra is built to last.

Raised touch buttons

All Elyra buttons are touch sensitive pads made up of a slightly raised area allowing the user to feel physical feedback.

This is capacitive sensor technology which offers an extremely fast response time of 2 ms.

There are 5 distinct areas on the main panel:

the fretboard composed of 4 * 12 pads
the strumming area separated into two types, A and B
two assignable sliders
an OLED screen with its wheel and its 8 contextual buttons

Guitar/bass mode

At first you need a double trig to play a note in Guitar or Bass mode: the hand on the fretboard selects the note to be played, and the other hand uses one of the two strumming areas.

Each one of the four strings has its own two strumming areas.

The strumming area A, is made of a long and very thin relief pad. It is ideal for playing back and forth on one or more strings.

The strumming area B, is a double pad surrounded by holes in the main layer, it allows both bass type playing and is ideal for playing arpeggios.

Elyra retains the essential subtleties of guitar playing, when a note has just been played you can also, like in guitar, slide to another note, or do a Pull-off or a Hammer-on without using the strumming area again.

You can use the slider with your thumb to bend the notes.

Elyra can be tuned according to your needs. there are basic tunings, like the first 4 strings of a guitar E, A, D, G, or any open tuning, or like a Ukulele.

You choose the root notes of each string, and the choice is specific to each track in one project.

J Rockett Airchild Six Sixty Compressor Effects Pedal J Rockett Airchild Six Sixty Compressor Effects Pedal
Cat: 1008780 Rel: 30 Jun 24 • View all Effects pedals
 
Compressor effects pedal
Notes: The Fairchild 660 studio compressor is consistently regarded as the best compressor ever made. For years, the original Fairchild 660 and 670 (Stereo) compressors have been extensively used in studios. This inspired J. Rockett to offer that sonic signature to the guitar community at a fraction of the $30k+ price tag.

The typical guitar compressor is the "Dynacomp", which has created iconic tones throughout the history of music, especially in Country music. That said, it's widely acknowledged that there are already countless Dynacomp variants available.

"The 'typical Dynacomp circuit' tends to crush the sound more like a limiter. This characteristic has cemented its sound into certain genres of music, which some may find desirable.

The Team at J. Rockett aimed to provide a compressor that works like a studio compressor, enhancing harmonic richness and evening out transients without crushing the entire spectrum.

The Airchild Six Sixty simply makes you want to play more. It increases sustain without crushing your output, imparts richness to your overall tone, and adds feel to your playing. The target tones were the slide tones of Lowell George and the singing lead/rhythm tones of Mark Knopfler.

The Fairchild 660 Compressor was designed by Rein Narma, who had worked with Les Paul to build a recording mixer for use with Les Paul's Ampex 8-track. Les Paul asked Narma if he would build a compressor/limiter. Sherman Fairchild, who was friends with Les Paul, learned of the compressor and licensed Narma's compressor design, hiring Narma to be chief engineer at Fairchild Recording Equipment Corporation. The first 10 Fairchild 660's were built by Narma himself. The first unit was sold to Rudy Van Gelder who used it to cut lacquer masters for Blue Note Records and Vox Records. The second unit went to Olmsted Sound Studios in New York City and the third 660 built went to Mary Ford and Les Paul.

Notable users: Abbey Road Studios purchased 12 Fairchild 660s after staff engineer Peter Bown heard it during a visit to Capitol Records in America. They used it on recording sessions for the Beatles, primarily for vocals. Beginning in 1966, Geoff Emerick began using the 660 on Ringo Starr's drum tracks as well as piano and guitar tracks. As of 2014, Abbey Road still had 8 of the original 660s purchased in the 1960s.

"We put the drum sound through Fairchild 660 valve limiters and compressors. It became the sound of Revolver and Sgt Pepper really. Drums had never been heard like that before." (Geoff Emerick)

Compressors are probably the most misunderstood effect that also have incredible impact on the delivery of music. There is not a professional recording in history that does not have some sort of compression. Gain is a form of compression, even EQ is a form of compression.

A compressor is used to reduce a signal's dynamic range-that is, to reduce the difference in level between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal.

Compression is commonly used to attenuate loud transient peaks (e.g., when a singer suddenly belts out a high note or a guitar player digs in to a note with muscle) compression helps maintain a consistent level. Compression essentially causes distortion in a signal, in that it changes the original sound of the signal through its processing. The compressor typically achieves this by emphasizing certain harmonics based on how the compressor is hitting the incoming signal. The job of this peda;l is to make that distortion feel transparent and to use dynamics to create the best-sounding performance possible. Use your ears!

In compression, the dynamic range becomes narrower - the highest peaks and the quietest parts have fewer dB of level difference between them. In contrast, a compressor can also help support or bring to life soft notes as well. For guitar, compression helps with sustain and feel. Using compression in front of an amp with gain or a gain pedal essentially just adds more compression and is typically not very audible. A good compressor will help sustain notes without introducing noise or artifacts in an amp or pedal with gain but typically works best in a clean amp to hear the effect. You will typically hear compression on country guitar, at least as an audible full throttle effect. Most players do not utilize this sound because a squished signal limits dynamics, however, if used correctly it can increase dynamics across the board. One of the best descriptions about compression is that it is the opposite of reverb. If you think about that it is true. Compression brings the full dynamic force forward in a balanced manner where Reverb creates space and distance.
