Ugh, the Volca Sample and SQ-1 seem to have a problem with crosstalk on the sync input from the audio out. If the audio gets too high, the unit can retrigger itself, often rolling 3-4 steps at a time. Seems to happen more with high frequency than low, I can force the sync issue on and off with the Analogue Isolator.

It happens to the SQ-1 when it's the timing slave, and it happens to the Volca Sample when the SQ-1 masters.

Also, I learned that the CV input on the KARP Odyssey is a TRS connector that allows for semi-independent oscillator control. One channel sets the main pitch, the other sets the offset for oscillator 2. Found this by accident using a TRS to dual-TS cable, although I probably just overlooked that section in the documentation.

Worked a lot of overtime the past few weeks so I decided to pick up a few things to go along with my first synth purchase from a couple months ago (Korg Minilogue)

Grabbed a Volca Kick, Volca Bass, and a Behringer Tube Overdrive to push either or into a nice farty buzz.

On the KB model or the module?

People had been saying the duophony was through the onboard keyboard only but the material for the module claimed it was duophonic too... which had people scratching their heads on Muffs and mailing lists.

Either one would be cool, afaik this isn't a widely known feature.

e: wondering if the gate works the same way...

Ah, thought there was something wrong with you for a second. i don't mean to bash behringer pedals in their entirety but basically every distortion they've made in the tiny plastic format has been various sorts of garbage, moreso than any boss offering with "metal" in the name
hope the vt thing does you good, a friend of mine had a vintage time machine in the same format and it was p neat for the price

This is the KB model. I just confirmed that behaviour was as described before: one channel has the main pitch, one channel has the oscillator 2 offset. Makes for some cool polyrhythmic stuff using both channels of the SQ-1.

I can't imagine that there would be a TRS on the gate; there's only one gate in the architecture.

Oh yeah, that would make sense... (can you tell I've spent a grand total of 10 minutes with one in person?) Still, very cool... I've been waffling on one since they previewed the module.

Undoubtedly. Look at the MIDI ports.

Also that analogue gauge on the "VC-1" is impossible.

I was gonna say, a ballistic meter on a $150 vocoder of that size is a straight-up impossibility. That said I'd love to see a wavetable Volca. I've really wanted to get into wavetable synthesis but never really came across anything that appealing to me.

That is a glorious feeling. I rode the full rack for a while myself.

For me the only stuff I'm really hunting for is some oscillators/sound generators that are truly different than what I have; I've given up on trying to create yet another simultaneous voice to jam with and would rather use my modular for one or two interesting synth sounds I can work into a track with other things. Only thing I've bought in about eight months is a VCF for a more overdriven sound than the other one I have. Maybe when black friday rolls around I'll look for an oscillator but right now the music answer for me is having a wide variety of maybe 2-3 sounds at once, not trying to have eight different synth voices in modular going at the same time. I was going that way, then I realized I was constructing the world most expensive groove box with no ability to save.

So I'm replacing some wavetables in my shapeshifter and I was going to but some of the galbanum waveforms in there. But they are 2048 samples and the SS wants 512. Any of you guys know what the best practice would be for converting them?

Also if anyone knows of some good software for making 512 sample waves for wavetables, that would be awesome too. I tried audioterm but I don't know if I can put up with that interface.

Speaking of wavetables, I've always loved the ones that are bizarre (aka. not simple wave morphs or similar), ones that sound really disjointed and digital. Anyone got an idea where I could get that sort of sound? I've got a beautiful goon-bought Blofeld so I'm both interested in importable wavetables and also VSTs, since I honestly spend 90% of my time just using my computer. :v:

Anyone here done any video synthesis?
I'm just getting into this whole synth thing, and barely understand the essentials of synthesis, but I find it super fascinating! Put together a Gieskes' 3trinsrgb+1c video synth a couple months ago and just put together one of Reverse landfill's 3x comparator plugins for it. Also bought a Microbrute to use for modulation. I'm thinking of expanding by adding a BPMC Fluxus or a BPMC premium cable to my setup. LZX modules look incredibly cool, but I can't really afford/justify getting into a big, complicated and expensive eurorack project (yet..........).

Did a small testrun with the comparator and the 3trins last night, but didn't record the sound. It really makes some cool colors:

e: Also, apologies for the awful quality, I haven't really got a proper capture card solution.

I've been interested in video synthesis, but compatibility issues between things like the LZX and Special Stage Systems stuff kind of threw me off, plus the price. The less expensive stuff, like the Critter and Guitari scope series, is underwhelming.

Thanks!

I've been looking at the critter and guitari stuff to add some audio reactive pattern generation. However, they're NTSC only, and, as I haven't got a video mixer, my only way of running it at the same time as the 3trins would be to run it through the 3trinsrgb. I'm unsure if any interesting visuals would come out of that...

I actually bought a LZX bitvision (another cheap standalone thing) a while ago for the same purpose, but I never received the shipment and it was apparently sent using uninsured snail mail :(

FM is really my favourite synthesis method for the raucous metallic sounds and ultimate cheese it produces. Instantly recognizable, I constantly annoy my wife by identifying it everywhere, and I love that it's making a come-back.

B.A. Johnston has some old Yamaha home keyboard or something with a Yamaha OPL chip in it and I love him for using it on actual recordings. Listen to Pay Me In Stolen Treasure for an example.
