MODULUXXX Modular Synthesizer Mini-Festival

pghmod — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 15:33:58 +0000

April 27th and 28th / Sydney, Australia

Moduluxxx is a 2 day thermo voltaic burn out celebrating and exploring modular synthesis. Somewhere between a museum, a LAN party and a pet show, Moduluxxx will be an space for vicarious enjoyment, learning, rubber necking, starting a dangerous new hobby (fiscally speaking), kicking tires or brushing shoulders with your peeps.

Around the world modular synthesis is experiencing a renaissance of interest and experimentation, with new developments from high bandwidth video synthesis systems through to reinventions of granular synthesis in an analog context. In a creative audio world that is dominated by software, saved files and presets, modular synthesis offers no recall, each patch is unique and perhaps unrepeatable. The equipment itself is constructed in small manufacturing runs, often by hand, designed by dedicated enthusiasts operating out of their lounge rooms.

So what is modular synthesis anyway? It is a style of synthesiser design where the architecture is left open. Each element, whether it be a sound generator, filter, controller, modulator or effect can be reconfigured in an infinite variety of arrangements.

What is so great about it? Your mind can go wild with the possibilities! You might never finish a song or track again!!

Three events will be held over the two days for more information head to https://sites.google.com/site/moduluxxx/

Introducing the Foundation

pghmod — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 04:08:22 +0000

Price: $1695 / Availability: TBA

The Foundation is a fully modular, eurorack, analog synthesizer. A patchable system styled after the great monosynths of the past with no hardwired signal path or fixed voice architecture to restrict creativity. Driven by two wide range analog oscillators the Foundation produces a huge, warm sound that can't be matched by digital or VST synths. All of the elements of a classic voltage controlled synthesizer are available as an open, patchable, modern synth. Check out the Foundation page for more information.

Introducing the LFO2 and ADSR

pghmod — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:55:26 +0000

The LFO2 and ADSR are the last two modules in the Foundation line. They are the missing links to our full voice.

The LFO2 is a basic dual LFO module. It uses two different types of low frequency oscillator circuits to provide a variety of modulation options.

The ADSR module is a very flexible envelope generator. Two separate ranges allow for everything from tight hits to slow evolving soundscapes.

Take a look at the individual module pages for more information.
