Corsynth has introduced the C113 West Coast Timbre, a new module that brings a taste of ‘West Coast Synthesis‘ to Moog format modular synthesizers.
The C113 West Coast Timbre is a dual wavefolder module, letting you create complex sounds from simple sine or triangle waves. The West Coast Timbre features two different wavefolder circuits, based on two classic West coast modular synths, Buchla and Serge.
And, thanks to the module’s VCA, a full-featured voice can be created with a minimal number of modules, like a VCO, an envelope and the C113.
Here is what Corsynth has to say about the module:
A wavefolder is a non-linear waveshaping circuit that allows to create rich harmonic waveforms. It’s a distortion circuit that folds back the signal when it reaches a certain level. Wavefolding can be seen as the opposite of filtering. Instead removing harmonic content to the incoming signal, a wavefolder adds harmonics to the original signal creating a more complex waveform. For this reason wavefolders work best with waveforms with low harmonic content like sine waves or triangle waves.
Wavefolders, together with Low-pass gates, are one of the main building blocks of West Coast Synthesis.
Features:
Two selectable wavefolder circuits.
Manually and CV controlled folding amount
Manually and CV controlled symmetry for non symmetrical folding.
Two audio inputs, one of them attenuated.
Two audio outputs, one of them controlled by a VCA
Black Corporation is bringing back the Jupiter-8 and with extra features.
Black Corporation, makers of Deckards Dream Mk2, Xerxes and Kijimi poly synths, updated on its Instagram, announcing the ISE-NIN, a reimaging of the Roland Jupiter-8.
The eight-voice poly will includes some extra features added to this 2021 version.
The ISE-NIN will also feature full MPE support and micro tuning by ODDSound, to go alongside those sumptuous filters and rich VCOs that made Roland onetime flagship synth the classic we all love.
There is no audio or video of the ISE-NIN in action. The ISE-NIN will land by the end of the year.
However, preorders will start next week. Details are to come at Black Corporation website .
The name ISE-NIN, is to Russian poet Sergei Yesenin.
