Vintage Iron – Nebula Program

rhythminmind — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 05:28:27 +0000

Features & Info -

Three Vintage audio transformer stages. UTC Transformers are used in many classic analog designs. (Example vintage Universal Audio). They are a large part of analog sound & character. They modify frequency/transient response & add mild saturation.

Three captured UTC A10, A21, & A22 Transformers
Sampled @ 24/96 with Lynx A/D D/A

Nebula has taken the torch from standard IR convolution. This dynamic sampling technology brings hardware realism to the DAW. Learn more about the the Nebula Engine.

My thingamagoop ver 2 arrived today. I can’t say why thingamagoops/kits are so badass they just are. I just finished putting it together in a custom box. (a thingamakit box actually) The new ver 2 has everything you wished for in ver 1. Modulation for days, S&H, ect. Best of all CV i/o.
What I find surprising is that all 3 vers have there place.
ver 1 for just fun simple noise.
Thingamakit has 2 leds for interesting optical based patterns & rhythms.
& ver 2 is just an all around feature slut but with only one Led.

I got together with mr. 3am not to long ago for some synth geekery. Our other goops made an appearance as well.

DIY – 12 to 2 – Passive Analog Summing Panel.

rhythminmind — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:50:16 +0000

Made myself a nice little passive summing panel for my home rig out of parts laying around the shop. I wanted to simplify/improve my final summing stage. Pleased with the results, Sounds great. Gives me piece of mind bypassing the channel IC’s & master section on my Sony MXP desk.

I used a simple XLR panel, Neutrik XLR mounts, Neve super conductive cable, & OHMITE 1% metal film resistors. Took all of 2 hours to wire up.

10.7k resistors on the inputs & a 220 shunt on the outputs.

After level calibration my noise-floor is at -80 & crosstalk @ -88.

FYI – this is with a John Hardy M1 transformer pre for the make up gain. Nothing better IMHO.

Analog Impact One – Drum Sample Set

rhythminmind — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:47:15 +0000

Overview

Analog Impact One is an all analog Drum Synth Sample Set. Captured from a Modded Vermona DRM1 MKIII
8 analog instruments captured @ 24bit/96k
Four individual velocity samples per instrument.
Format = Mono 24/96 .wav

The Little BOOM That Could – MFB-522 Sample Set

rhythminmind — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:37:56 +0000

Overview

The Drumcomputer MFB-522 is an all analog boutique Drum Synth. It’s deceivingly small size produces HUGE sound. A call back to the TR-808. If you want the 808 vibe but are sick of the overused 808 samples available, this is for you.

9 analog instruments captured @ 24bit/96k & RNLA compression for a little added edge.
Five/Six individual velocity samples per instrument.
Format = Stereo 24/96 .wav

Moog Drum Two – Samples & Live 8 Drum Rack

rhythminmind — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:04:47 +0000

Overview

This is the 2nd Moog Drum Sample Set & Live 8 Drum Rack “Moog Drum Two”. (The 1st can be downloaded HERE.) You will find some nice deep tones in this set. Think 808 if it had a Minimoog filter. I’ve created pitch macros for each sample. Being that it is sampled @ 96k you have plenty of room to re-pitch those samples without quality loss for music production.

Captured @ 24bit/96k with Lynx converters & DBX 903 compression.

Analog Signal path = Moog Voyager-DBX 903′s-Console EQ-Dominator II- Lynx.

Six velocity samples per pad.

Moog Drum One – Samples & Live 8 Drum Rack

rhythminmind — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 04:43:58 +0000

Overview

The Minimoog Voyager RME is an analog waveform sculpting masterpiece, especially with the add-on CV breakouts. Unlike many classic analog drum machines, the Voyager with its dual filters can create wonderful stereo imagery. I’ve taken the time to program detailed percussive patches & from these i’m creating sample sets. This is the 1st “Moog Drum One” Samples Pack / Drum Rack for Ableton Live 8. (The 2nd can be downloaded HERE.)

Update: I’ve created pitch macros for each sample. Being that it is sampled @ 96k you have plenty of room to re-pitch those samples without quality loss for music production.

Captured @ 24bit/96k with Lynx converters & DBX 903 compression.

Analog Signal path = Moog Voyager-DBX 903′s-Console EQ-Dominator II- Lynx.

Six velocity samples per pad.

Moog Voyager / Minimonsta comparison

rhythminmind — Mon, 25 May 2009 04:54:07 +0000

Out of nothing more then curiosity I wanted to know the fundamental differences between the Moog Voyager & Minimonsta. The filter is obvious so I didn’t even want to have that in the equation. I wanted to look at the raw building blocks, the oscillator waveforms. These are my results.
FYI – Download the uncompressed .wavs for proper comparison.

The original test has the filters set to wide open on both synths. I don’t think the original ever fully takes the filter out of the picture. So with some further knob twiddling I have found if you add a little resonance on the voyager the wave shapes get pretty damn close. I’m thinking the voyager just has a wider filter range.
