Synthesist KurtzMindfields shared this demo of the new SynthR10 analog synthesizer.
The analog synthesizer hand-assembled in France, each piece is unique and of exceptional quality.
The SynthR10 is a new 10-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer. Each audio channel consists of two voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) using SSI2130 circuits, with cross-modulation allowing interaction between the two VCOs. A sub-oscillator completes this section to enrich the spectrum in the low frequencies.
The signal then passes through two filters: a low-pass filter based on an SSI2140, and a multimode filter using an AS3320, offering great flexibility in sound processing.
The stereo output is routed to a dedicated board incorporating two effects circuits. The audio chain is purely analog apart from the LFOs, envelopes, and effects, and is controlled by control voltages.
Features:
10-voice polyphony,
Split with 5 voices per editable zone,
Layer with 5 voices,
Unison from 1 to 10 voices,
5-voice arpeggiator in split mode,
5-voice polyphonic sequencer in split mode
Looper: MIDI event recorder including notes and controls.
The SynthR10 Analog Synthesizer is available now for €3990.
Bradshaw Instruments has introduced Drumkid Eurorack Aleatoric Drum Machine for Eurorack systems.
At its core, Drumkid is a four-voice drum machine with a built-in step sequencer, enabling normal drum pattern programming with both per-step and live recording for making patterns on the fly.
Where things get interesting is in Drumkid’s tools for introducing random variations into your rhythms, which they say are “perfect for anything from algorithmic fills to far-out audio rate freak outs.”
Features:
Chance adds more chance for adding or subtracting beats
Zoom changes metric resolution of random variations
Velocity changes volume of voices
Vel range changes range of possible velocities for dynamic variation
Magnet increases regularity of variations on chosen subdivision
Cluster adds more repeated hits on each random addition for ratcheting rhythms
Swing control with 8th note triplet to the left and 16th note triplets to right
Crop chops end of samples for a gated effect
Crush adds bitcrushing effect
Pitch changes sample pitches down to reverse playback
Drop rand increases randomized dropouts for ensemble variation
Drop all mutes voices down to just kicks to the left or just hi hats to the right, with full drop outs at both extremes
Supports tuplets for complex triplet / quintuplet /septuplet rhythms
