The Entity PS's 100-percent analogue circuitry is capable of producing a huge range of percussive effects including, but not limited to: snares, claps, toms, rim shots, hats, synth percussions, zaps and blips, bass and lead sounds and even new flavours of kick-drum sounds.
Classic low-pass gates are probably best associated with the Buchla modulars. However, Rabid Elephant decided against the vactrols, aiming to produce something faster, more accurate, durable and natural-sounding.
Plonk uses AAS physical modelling to generate many voices of a typical drum machine, but it’s equally suited to creating strikes and hits with no real-world equivalent...
Rainmaker consists of a stereo 16-tap spectral delay paired with a 64-tap comb resonator, the latter sporting external triggering options that turn it into a (single-voice) Karplus-Strong synthesizer.
The MÖG Wavefolder doesn’t just modify waveform shape, it squishes, shifts, boosts and distorts — and is equally happy doing the same to control signals.
Every now and again a module appears that slots into a niche you didn’t realise existed, but once it’s there you start to see all kinds of new possibilities...
For 20 years or so the A110 has been the company's basic voltage-controlled oscillator. Aware that there were more possibilities for VCO modules, Doepfer have very helpfully now released three new versions. Here, we take a quick look at the new A110-2.
Jove has a modern replacement for the now-obsolete OTA (IR3109) used in the original Jupiter 6 and it has been given voltage control of resonance along with an extra two-pole low-pass mode...
Allegedly inspired by John Cage’s interpretation of the Chinese divination text, I Ching, random voltages are generated by Chance for each digitally-generated coin toss...
