Now, after thirty years, the MS-20 has been reborn as the MS-20 mini, and the SQ-10 has evolved into the more modern SQ-1. \u003cbr\u003e　\u003cbr\u003eThe SQ-1 is a compact step sequencer with 2 x 8 steps. It's wealth of connection jacks allows it to be connected to the MS-20 and a variety of other synthesizers. Vintage analog synths or the latest compact synths can be controlled from this single unit. You can also switch between a variety of synthesizer modes and use the step buttons to create performances overflowing with spontaneity, just as when using a volca unit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiberate yourself from the numerically-bound parameter editing that's typical on a DAW; you'll enjoy truly musical inspiration as you train your ears and concentrate on what your fingertips are doing.

As a descendant of the SQ-10, the SQ-1 supports the Hz\/V standard, enabling it to perfectly control the MS-20 or MS-20 mini. It goes without saying the V\/Oct standard is also supported, and the voltage level of the CV output (*) and polarity of the GATE output can be specified as appropriate for the device you've connected. This versatility will enable you to control a wide variety of other synthesizers as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* V\/Oct supported for 1V, 2V, and 5V; Hz\/V supported for 8V.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a connector, the SQ-1 provides two CV\/GATE OUT channels, the standard MIDI OUT and USB MIDI, littleBits out (to connect to the littleBits synth kit by littleBits Electronics Inc.), plus the SYNC IN\/OUT channel that allows you to connect to the volca series and monotribe. Compact and complete with all the functions you need, the SQ-1 is the ideal hardware sequencer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVersatile sequencer modes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SQ-1 provides two channels (A and B) of 8-step sequencer that can operate consecutively, or be used in a variety of other modes. For example, you can run A and B following each other to function as a 16-step sequencer, ignore the order and make the steps play randomly, or use A and B to control different parameters as they run in parallel. From simple sequences to complex changes, you can choose from a variety of modes to suit your needs.\u003cbr\u003eStep buttons inherited from the volca provide excellent improvisatory possibilities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2 x 8 step buttons can be used in the usual way to turn notes on\/off, but you can also use the MODE button to switch their function, opening up powerful possibilities such as letting you “perform” the sequence itself, as on a volca unit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Active Step” lets you skip steps mid-way through a sequence, and “Step Jump” lets you instantly play just the step that you press, producing irregular rhythms or effects that are reminiscent of short loops. “Slide” produces an effect in which steps are connected smoothly; using this to control a synth bass is an easy way for anyone to generate an acid sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSturdy and compact body, with battery operation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePacked with carefully selected functionality, the SQ-1 features a compact and very sturdy sheet-metal body. Placed beside the MS-20 series, you'll notice a sense of solidity that gives the impression they were manufactured in the same era. The unit can operate on two AA batteries or on USB bus power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther functions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Sequence step resolution is selectable as quarter notes, eighth notes, or 16th notes.\u003cbr\u003e- You can specify the way in which the step knobs control the pitch.

Its metallic and sharp sounds, most notably electric piano and synth bass, have been loved by all music creators since 1980 up to the present time. The Volca FM perfectly reproduces the sound engine of the classic digital synthesizer that made the world aware of FM synthesis. Its six operators and 32 algorithms provide complete compatibility, and it can even load files in the SYS-EX\/SYX format of the Yamaha DX7.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Volca FM makes FM sound editing accessible with the MODULATOR\/CARRIER super-easy edit knobs – the knob movements are mapped to multiple parameters for sound changes that are easy to understand. FM enthusiasts can also menu dive into full parameter edits. The Volca FM comes accompanied with a Parameter List Guide to assist this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong with a perfect reproduction of the sound engine, the Volca FM is also equipped with a lush chorus effect to add depth to your sounds and further expand its sound-creating potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s a loop sequencer with up to 16 steps, allowing you to record your performance on the touch panel keyboard just as you play. It’s easy to create phrases that come to mind. Up to sixteen sequence patterns can be stored in internal memory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the motion sequence function records your knob movements, letting you add time-varying change to the sound. This is great way to polish your loops, and also lets you generate highly original live performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the active step function that lets you skip steps during a sequence, the Volca FM provides new functions that enable you to generate more irregular rhythms. If the active step is fewer than 16 steps, you can use the warp active step function to compensate to occupy the same playback time as 16 steps; then by synchronizing the playback with another Volca series unit, you can deliberately skew the step timing to generate truly unconventional performances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a first for the Volca series, the Volca FM is also equipped with an arpeggiator. By using this in conjunction with a motion sequence you can create extremely eccentric rhythm patterns. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the pattern chain function lets you connect multiple sequence patterns for successive playback, making it possible to construct large-scale developments of 32, 64, or even 256 steps by joining up to 16 sequences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Volca FM provides a sync connector that can be easily connected to Korg's groove machines. Connect this to the other Volca series unit, the Electribe, or the SQ-1, and experience a session with synchronized sequencer playback. And when two units of Volca FM are connected, you can clone the sound programs and sequence data from Volca FM to Volca FM. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MIDI IN jack lets you use the Volca as a sound module for DAW and MIDI controller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its compact size, battery operation, and built-in speaker, it's easy to take the Volca anywhere and perform any time.","brand":"Korg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16819432197,"sku":"KORG-VOLCA-FM","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/1246\/products\/korg-volcafm-slant-ctrlmod.png?v=1571272296"},{"product_id":"make-noise-0-coast","title":"0-COAST","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 0-COAST is a single voice patchable synthesizer.

In addition to the same distinctive circuits as on the minilogue (such as the wave shaping that shapes the overtones of the oscillator, and a sync\/ring switch), the filter section uses a two-pole filter to deliver aggressive sound. Newly featured is a drive circuit that adds overtones and distortion to the sound, letting you generate fat basses and sharp lead sounds to your heart's content. The LFO rate can be adjusted into an unprecedentedly ultra-high-speed range to generate crazy space-shattering sounds, or switched to one-shot mode to act, in a sense, as an additional envelope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe keyboard section features the acclaimed slim keybed of the minilogue and the MS-20 mini.

It is simultaneously a stereo\/quad modular touch plate synthesizer, a stereo\/quad audio processor and a pressure sensitive chaotic CV controller. All three uses are available separately as well as simultaneously and in conversation with each other. The Stereo Field allows its user to manipulate and patch two analog stereo circuits via touch plates. By utilizing skin conductivity as new paths for current to follow you are creating new circuits and new sounds in relation to where your fingers are patching. The individual touch plates are directly connected to nearly every connection point of every component in its circuitry (located directly under each corresponding touch plate). When touched it will create analog synthesized audio with either of the two mirrored circuits represented by interlocking touch-plate circles. These parallel mirrored circuits can be finger patched separately or together yielding vastly different results in regards to texture, timbre and stereo imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis instrument has the ability to create atonal synth tones in stereo (and quad) as well as process incoming stereo audio (and quad) sources via 1\/4\" and 3.5mm ins and outs. Incoming audio sources can be \"patched\" or rewoven into any area of either or both of the circuits via skin contact. The two stereo input volume knobs (center) shape and effect distortion, drive amounts, internal feedback pitch, and modulation rates depending on how your fingers are patching. The quad inputs and outputs via the 3.5mm jacks have small touch plates leading to and from allowing for touch access of each of the 4 inputs and 4 outputs. If multiple audio signals are traveling into the Stereo Field these audio sources can be intermingled and can modulate one another, again depending upon where your fingers are patching. Sending CV signals into the 3.5mm input jacks will open up many more possibilities both in terms of synthesized sounds and audio processing. The Stereo Field can also be used as a controlled chaos source when using the 3.5mm outputs to send CV to your modular system. Due to the nature of feedback and finger patching the 4 available CV signals have the ability to get incredibly complex and textured in nature (see audio examples below in use with a euro-rack system).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the open nature of Stereo Field it can both send and receive CV modulation simultaneously. In addition, this can all be happening while your finger patching is changing and altering the incoming and outgoing CV while also processing incoming audio. These ins and outs can also be patched together with cables for sustained tones with the pitch\/rhythm\/volume\/\"cutoff\" being affected by adjusting the incoming and outgoing volume knobs in various settings. Inter-patching in this way will also allow for sustained pulse beats and filter-esk sound shaping in addition to bringing new results to finger patching via the touch plates. Most importantly, processed audio and synthesized audio are available simultaneously with the ability to influence and modulate each other. This will often blur the lines between the two; who is manipulating who? who comes out on top as audio and who is modulation? This can be a constantly evolving cycle based upon where the performers fingers are placed and highly sensitive skin contact pressure changes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sound is sometimes easy to describe; (distortion, filtering, resonance, high-pass, lo-pass, feedback, sine waves, square waves, pulse width modulation, formants, white noise, pink noise, metallic noise, stereo rhythms, wave-folding, frequency modulation, amplitude modulation, spacial shifts, panning, sub octaves, pitch following) but most of the time these definitions fall \"between effects\" or in combinations of multiple effects that can be shifting, feeding back or pulsing in sync with incoming audio during processing. Since the user is directly touching analog circuitry through gold touch plates, shifts in pitch\/timbre\/stereo\/drive\/modulation can be accessed instantly. The stereo (or quad) imaging of the instrument is both influenced by feedback and modulation in regards to where your fingertips are patching along with modulation caused by incoming audio content. In addition to the sheer number of patching and finger pressure combinations available, the instrument has shown theremin-esk properties in certain settings due to the large surface area of the gold plates. To bring this even a step further the synth\/modulation\/processing tones can be triggered by only breathing on the plates using the moisture content of breath to partially control and sculpt the audio. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a type of collaboration that happens with the Stereo Field as sometimes you will be reacting to what it is doing and other times you will be attempting to control and shape what it is doing but most of the time you will be doing both simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Landscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36444872978,"sku":"","price":490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/1246\/products\/stereofield-landscape-ctrlmod.png?v=1574355061"},{"product_id":"bastl-instruments-kastle-v1-5","title":"Kastle v1.5","description":"Kastle is a mini modular synthesizer with a headphone output, 2 in\/out ports for interfacing other gear and it runs on just 3 AA batteries.

Each of the modules has been carefully selected for its stand-alone completeness. The modules are internally connected so that sound can be produced even before connecting the included pin cables, and the routing is shown by white lines on the panel.

Normally, each signal is connected according to its use, but on the volca modular, signal levels are universally compatible between modules, allowing hidden possibilities to arise from patching that defies common sense. Twenty pin cables are included, and also included is a reference sheet explaining each patch point and providing basic examples of patching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the volca modular is a semi-modular synth, it is equipped with a full-fledged 16-step sequencer providing a wide range of functions, letting you enjoy automatic performance even when used stand-alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing the 16 buttons familiar from the volca series, you can perform step input or use the buttons as a keyboard for realtime recording.

Based on a simple trigger waveform, wave folder and overdrive are used to add overtones and distortion, and then a waveguide resonator effect brings the sound to life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe term \"digital\" typically brings to mind sounds that are based on PCM-sampled bass drum, snare drum, or cymbal, but the volca drum creates its drum sounds by DSP-powered analog modeling. Oscillator waveforms such as sine wave, sawtooth wave, and noise are provided. By applying various changes to these waveforms, you can create a wide variety of percussion sounds that range from realistic to idiosyncratic, and are not limited only to drums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe six parts each have two layers, and do not impose any rules or restrictions such as specifying which parts must be used for the bass drum or for the cymbal; all parts have the same specifications. You can freely assign your new sounds to these six parts without being limited by the conventions of a drum set. A kit consists of the six parts that you've assigned plus the waveguide resonator effect settings, and 16 such kits can be stored in memory (the factory settings contain 10 preload kits).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach part consists of two layers. For each layer, users choose one of five types of oscillator waveform including sine wave, sawtooth wave, and HPF noise, and also choose from three types of pitch modulator and amp EG, each optimized for drum sounds. Layer parameters can be edited either individually or simultaneously, and users can also use the two layers to produce the same sound for additional thickness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can customize the resulting trigger waveform by applying bit reduction to produce roughness, adjusting the wave folder depth to add complex overtones, and using overdrive to adjust the distortion. In this way, you can generate distinctive sounds from this sound engine that's structured rather differently from a typical drum machine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe effect section features a waveguide resonator that's based on physical modeling, and which adds sympathetic resonances to the sound. You can choose from two types of waveguide: \"tube\" which adds the resonance of a cylindrical object such as a drum body or a long pipe, or \"strings\" which adds the metallic resonance of a string. The three knobs located in the center of the panel let you specify the DECAY (amount of attenuation), BODY (sonic character), and TUNE (pitch). Setting TUNE to a lower value will produce a delay-like behavior. You can take advantage of these knobs not only for sound design but also in your live performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 16-step sequencer is excellent for improvisation. You can easily create patterns using the 16 buttons, each corresponding to one of the 16 steps. In addition to step recording, the sequencer also supports realtime recording in which you can construct a pattern while looping the playback. The pattern chain function lets you play multiple sequence patterns successively, so you can successively play back desired patterns of consecutive numbers. Up to 16 sequences can be connected to construct patterns with 256 steps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's an active step function that lets you skip steps during sequence playback. This can be used to create \"short loop\" effects and irregular rhythms, or you can even create polyrhythms by using different settings for each part.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe step slice function lets you play drum rolls. You can set accents to create strong beats at specific steps, not simply as an on\/off setting but in a range of 16 levels, allowing you to express a subtle sense of groove and rhythmic nuance. There's a choke function that lets you specify which of multiple parts should take priority when sounded simultaneously, such as the hi-hat closed and open sounds of a drum machine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Korg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19242859757622,"sku":"KORG-VOLCA-DRUM","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/1246\/products\/korg-volca-drum-slant-ctrlmod.png?v=1574355641"},{"product_id":"spectres-composer-l-ecoute-composing-listening","title":"Spectres: Composer l’écoute \/ Composing listening","description":"\u003cp\u003eWITH TEXTS BY \/ AVEC DES TEXTES DE\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFélicia Atkinson, François Bayle, François J.

Needless to say, these patchable connections and the onboard processors can be used to interact with nearly any modular or Eurorack synthesizer system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3620 Keyboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile faithful to the original design, the functionality of the 3620 Keyboard has been greatly enhanced for this limited ARP 2600 release. The 3620 Keyboard contains 49 full-size keys, aftertouch, portamento, and is also duophonic, allowing two keys to be played at once – Single or Multiple Triggering is available. In addition, the duophonic keyboard can use an optional foot switch to lock the interval between any two notes, without retuning the oscillators during performance. Vibrato can be added via a dedicated circuit controlled by aftertouch, or by the onboard LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator), using any of three available waveforms. Most noticeable is the addition of a flexible Arpeggiator that allows a user-defined pattern to be manually sequenced and played back. Still present are the original Pitch Bend knob and the Two Octave Up \/ Two Octave Down Transpose switch. Connecting the keyboard to the main unit now uses a secure eight-pin din cable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing Powerhouse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ARP 2600 reveals its modular nature by the unique assortment of valuable, esoteric, and individually patch-able modules it contains. To begin, there are a set of parallel-wired Multiple jacks that enhance the patching possibilities – allowing the same control signal to be sent to multiple locations, for example. Three independent Voltage Processors provide scalable control voltages, or can act to attenuate any control signal. Use the Lag Generator to delay the start of any control signal. The Noise Generator is tunable to deliver White, Pink, and Low-Frequency noise, plus everything in between. A series of three Inverters can reverse the polarity of any signal. The Electronic Switch can be sync’d to either the internal clock or any external clock signal, as can the Sample \u0026amp; Hold rate. Most importantly, the ARP 2600 includes a dedicated Preamp and Envelope Follower for processing an external audio signal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Oscillators\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eARP Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO) are extremely stable in their tuning. All three oscillators feature Initial Tuning and Fine Tuning sliders, and every oscillator can be designated as an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) modulating oscillator or as an audio oscillator. (Additional LFO modulation sources are available on the ARP 3620 keyboard; included.) Each oscillator generates multiple wave shapes at once. Available Waves include Sawtooth, Square, Triangle, Sine, and Pulse. The Pulse wave of Oscillator 2 and Oscillator 3 include a manual Pulse Width control, and Pulse Width Modulation is available on Oscillator 2. One audio oscillator can be used to modulate the frequency of another audio oscillator to create analog FM effects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ARP 2600 is equipped with a 4-pole Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF), offering a roll-off curve of -24dB per Octave. As with the oscillators, the ARP 2600 filter also offers a Fine Tuning slider. The addition of Fine Tuning allows precise and useful control of the pitch of a self-resonating filter. The input mixer stage of the VCF includes sliders for each Oscillator, the Noise Generator, and the output of the Ring Modulator. Over time, the ARP 2600 historically went through a number of changes; some were cosmetic, and some were more crucial to the sound. The Filter Type switch selects between a filter response more closely related to either earlier or later models of the ARP 2600.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Envelopes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo Envelope Transient Generators (EG) are available on the ARP 2600. The first is a full four-stage Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release Envelope. The second EG offers variable Attack and Release only. The Manual Start button allows the Envelopes to be retriggered at any time, without using the keyboard. The Envelope module also provides both Gate and Trigger outputs – ideal for patching into another analog modular or Eurorack system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn order to produce and output sound, the ARP 2600 relies on a Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) to bring the output up to a suitable level. The Amplifier features both Linear and Exponential control inputs, and the Initial Gain setting provides continuous output at its highest setting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver and Out\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the VCA, the audio signal of the ARP 2600 passes through the Stereo Mixer section, the internal Spring Reverb tank, and on to the main outputs, the headphone jack, and the internal Left and Right speakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlug and Play\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ARP 2600 is equipped with two low-impedance XLR outputs (Left and Right) for direct connection to a recording console or sound system – no direct boxes or line-matching transformers are required. A headphone output is also provided. MIDI is transmitted and received via old-school din-style IN, OUT, and THRU jacks, and also via USB. Three foot switch jacks (footswitches sold separately) on the 3620 Keyboard provide hands-free performance control over Portamento (On\/Off or Momentary) and the Interval Latch. The front panel offers a Preamp input for processing another audio source.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGround Zero of the Synthesizer Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt would be impossible to overemphasize the importance of the original ARP 2600 analog synthesizer. The ARP 2600 stood alone, retaining all of the versatility of a massive modular system in a modern, portable, and eminently playable synthesizer. Over the next decade, sales of the 2600 continued to amass as ARP became the largest synthesizer company in America – and possibly the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ARP 2600 drew support from all manner of sources. Alan R. Pearlman and David Friend’s unified design made it the ideal choice for academic use, and indeed, for many an early wave of synth enthusiasts, the ARP 2600 was the instrument they learned on. Professional musicians of all genres gravitated to the ARP 2600 for its incredible sounds and the satisfying hands-on panel scheme. Sound artist Ben Burtt used the ARP 2600 to voice the adorable droid R2-D2. Over the ensuing decades, the ARP 2600 has remained one of the most sought after and coveted instruments from the vintage synthesizer era, and has attained the most revered status among players, producers and sound designers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModular synthesizers of the day closely resembled today’s Eurorack systems, consisting of a powered cabinet housing a selection of synthesizer modules, which were in turn connected using patch cords. While other manufacturers were busy shedding some of the esoteric versatility of the modular synthesizer to create a simpler instrument for the novice performer, the ARP 2600 offered all of the elements needed to create a self-sufficient sound design studio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Korg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31605577285686,"sku":"","price":3899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/1246\/products\/korg-arp-2600-key-ctrlmod.png?v=1578676713"},{"product_id":"make-noise-0-ctrl","title":"0-CTRL","description":"The Make Noise 0-CTRL is a patchable, clockable controller and step sequencer for voltage controlled synthesizer systems.

These concepts of subharmonics and polyrhythms form the historic roots of the Moog Subharmonicon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe undertone series, or subharmonic series, results from the division of an initial fundamental frequency (f) by successive integer values (unlike the overtone series, which results from integer multiples of the fundamental frequency). Where overtones are found to occur naturally in acoustic sounds, undertones must be produced through more extreme or novel methods, such as electronic circuitry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolyrhythms employ multiple rhythms playing at once to create complex, interweaving phrases. In the same way that a subharmonic oscillator divides the fundamental frequency (f) to create a musically related subharmonic, each rhythm generator in Subharmonicon uses an integer value to divide the current tempo value (t) to create a new rhythm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32165415125046,"sku":"MOOG-SUBHARMONICON","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/1246\/products\/moog-sub-5.png?v=1589240603"},{"product_id":"korg-sequenz-cc-volca-volca-soft-case-gray-and-black","title":"Sequenz CC-Volca Volca Soft Case - Gray and Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eDedicated carrying case for the KORG volca series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dedicated carrying case for the volca series lets you play your KORG volcas anywhere thanks to the volcas’ battery power and built-in speakers.\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing soft-shell construction with a distinctive mesh design that provides cushioning and support, the CC-VOLCA will securely protect your volca series unit.

Back then, you had to move through massive numbers of pages, and couldn’t figure out where you were in the overall scheme of things. Rest easy—with the opsix, we’ve taken away these worries.

Use these features for a huge range of modulation to create swelling or add rapid motion to your sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful filters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to FM, the FILTER section follows your creation of sounds by offering analog synthesizer-like subtractive synthesis. Select from a full range of filters you want to use, from the radical MS-20 low-pass\/high-pass filter, to the powerful yet soft Polysix low-pass filter that gives your sound a “vintage” feel; as well as two- or four-pole low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and band reject filters with resonance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA treasure-trove of effects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe high-definition effects you’ll find on the opsix can be used right away in recording. The instrument offers three series (which can be used simultaneously) of 30 different effects; from including standard effects like a compressor, EQ, chorus, flanger, phaser and stereo delay, to distinctive effects like rotary speakers, grain shifters and more... as well as shimmering reverb effects that add a new dimensions to already awesome sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpectrum analyzer and oscilloscope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe analyzer built into the opsix is a must-have feature for visualizing FM synthesis. It shows output levels for each frequency band, so that you can see the distribution and changes to the harmonics at a glance that are caused by modulation. The opsix also features a built-in oscilloscope that lets you check the output waveforms. The colorful changes to the sound and visual feedback are sure to draw you into a deep “synthesizer vortex”!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful 16-step polyphonic sequencer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 16 buttons on the bottom right-hand part of the panel glow green with the colors that evoke FM synths, while providing you with a multipurpose 16-step sequencer. With this onboard polyphonic note sequencer, you can record up to six notes per step, and edit the velocity, gate time and playback timing for each note. This lets you create long phrases or make subtle shifts in timing to emulate strums or drum rolls, something that’s not possible on a typical 16-step sequencer. Also, the motion sequencer of the opsix lets you record changes of up to six parameters, creating smooth motion changes in sound within a phrase, or building rhythms that change dramatically with each step.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the opsix has an easy-to-use 37-note keyboard, it also features a sequencer that rivals that of grooveboxes. Just press the PLAY button—you’ll be floored by the power that this sequencer lets you unleash.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdding unpredictability to sounds with the Randomize feature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse the Randomize feature as found on the wavestate if you’re in the mood for unexpected sonic discoveries. Press the button marked with the die icon to generate a newly randomized sound. You can use the Randomize feature for the entire sound, or just for the operators, the algorithm or the sequences. Use the randomized sounds as-is or edit them as you like—the sky’s the limit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree bundle of music software\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe opsix comes with a diverse variety of music software from Izotope including “Ozone Elements” which lets you not only create songs but also master them using AI, “Skoove” which will help you improve your keyboard playing skills, “Reason Lite” DAW software, as well as software synths from KORG and other brands. In other words, the moment you get your hands on this synthesizer you'll have a variety of tools to help you take your music to the next level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApps for iPad\/iPhone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKORG Gadget 2 Le (music production studio DAW app)\u003cbr\u003eKORG Module (piano\/keyboard sound module app)\u003cbr\u003eSoftware for Mac\/Windows\u003cbr\u003eKORG Collection - M1 Le (synthesizer sound module)\u003cbr\u003eUVI Digital Synsations (synthesizer sound module)\u003cbr\u003eAAS Ultra Analog Session (synthesizer sound module)\u003cbr\u003eAAS Strum Session (acoustic guitar sound module)\u003cbr\u003eAAS Lounge Lizard Session (electric piano sound module)\u003cbr\u003eReason Studios Reason Lite (DAW music production software)\u003cbr\u003eSkoove free 3 month trial of Skoove Premium (online piano lesson)\u003cbr\u003eKORG Gadget 2 Le for Mac (DAW music production software)\u003cbr\u003eiZotope Ozone Elements (Audio Mastering Plug-in Software)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Korg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32964782981174,"sku":"","price":749.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/1246\/products\/korg-opsix-1-ctrlmod.png?v=1605120861"},{"product_id":"liquid-foam-herbs-and-stones","title":"Liquid Foam","description":"Liquid Foam is a modular monophonic analog groovebox that revolves around a dual sequencer designed to encourage complex pattern exploration.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy making connections with banana-type patch cables it can generate anything from straightforward 4\/4 loops to ever-changing byzantine synth lines, off-key tantrums and organic percussive phrases.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt the core there’s an analog VCO with two stages of waveshaping, a decay-only EG that can be inverted any step, a 2-pole resonant low pass VCF and a CMOS-based final overdrive stage.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiquid Foam can sync with virtually any other machine via its clock input mini jack and it sends a 5v clock out\/through pulse for further syncing and chaining.","brand":"Herbs and Stones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32966021742646,"sku":"LIQUID-FOAM-HERBS-AND-STONES","price":429.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/1246\/products\/liquidfoam-herbandstone-1-ctrlmod.png?v=1605207711"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ctrl-mod.com\/en-jp\/collections\/devices.oembed?page=7","provider":"Control","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
