Koma synthesizer – a new analogue bassline synthesizer
Eowave has introduced the Koma synthesizer – a new analogue bassline synthesizer, inspired by classic synths from the 80s.
Features include 4 different waveforms (saw, square, sub, noise), a 24 dB low-pass filter and a 16-step sequencer. The 16 steps sequencer has 4 rows: 1 for the notes and 3 that are freely assignable to a parameter of your choice.
The Eowave Koma is expected to be available Fall 2011, for 599 € excl. VAT. Details below.
Oscillator section
- analogue VCO with square saw sub (sub can be 1 or 2 octaves below the master freq), noise.
- VCO can be modulated by LFO and PW
- Variable glide
- mixer to mix the 4 waveforms
Filter section
- external audio with a trimmer to feed the filter
- 24dB low pass filter roland style for a classical 80s sound
- filter can be modulated by env2, KB, lfo.
VCA section
- VCA is affected to env1
- 2 envelopes ADSR modulate respectively the amplitude and the filter.
- Attack goes from 2ms to 10s.
LFO section
- LFO with 8 waveforms (triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, random, digital noise, staircase up, staircase down)
Connections
- audio in
- audio out
- MIDI in
- Usb (for software update and MIDI in&out)
Sequencer
- 16 steps sequencer with LED
- 4 rows: 1 row controls gates and notes.
- 3 other rows are freely assignable to any parameter of the front panel.
- You can transpose the sequencer with an external MIDI keyboard.

Schmidt Monster Analog Polysynth
Pure analog super synth 
This seems to have really captured the imagination – its a massive totally analog 8-voice polysynth, with 4 OSC, 7 VCF and many, many other elements. Concieved from the one mind of Mr Schmidt it really is something to behold.
‘Kosmonaut’ a swiss handmade analog synthesizer
Elektrokosmos is a small swiss firm specialized in the production of analog synthesizers. We update the principles of the last century with today’s technology and optimize them for high expectations. Every component is diligently selected and assembled by hand – every synth is unique. Elektrokosmos stands for robust machines and convincing sound. The user-friendly layout guarantees an exceptional playing experience.”
“Today at musikmesse frankfurt 2011(@schneiders superbooth) we will release our new & first product called ‘Kosmonaut’ a swiss handmade analog synthesizer.”

Alma redemptoris mater
This is Alma redemptoris mater, composed by Orlande de Lassus (1532 – 1594) and performed by Richard Galbraith on a modular analog synthesizer (by Synthesizers.com), with a Grove Audio PM Resonator. Visualization is Magnetosphere.

Modular Analog Synthesizer prototype. No external (other brands) effects, just our delay module.
Joystick analog synth demo: jamisha
This is an analog synth that I made. there are two main oscillators that are controled by the X and Y axis movement of the joystick to affect pitch. it also has a main oscillator that has a LDR (light dependent resistor, light sensor) and an LFO which also has a light sensor and the big grey knob on the side. I took out the spring that returns it to center and added a huge cap paralell to ground so it makes all kinds of twazy sounds even after you shut it off. I used the original “auto fire” switch for power.
Featuring the Synthanola
This is my 555 Contest (www.555contest.com) entry. It is an analogue synthesiser based on 555 timers, with three channels and four octaves per channel. It is sequenced with either paper tape (as shown) or by any 8-bit interface with suitable flow control.
“This video demonstrates two paper tapes which play Inventions 8 and 13 by J.S. Bach.
Sorry about the jumpy video. My computer must have been doing something at the time. My hands can’t actually move that quickly.”

Reactable VS analog synth
Two nice videos featuring the Reacatble in action, here´s what they have to say about it:
“Submixpro studio is proud to host Italy’s first and so far unique installation of Reactable. We are happy to contribute to the future of electronic music by sharing our videos, experiments and techniques with all enthusiasts out there.
SubMixPro offers 7 reharsal room where bands can play, a recording studio and a ‘reactable zone’ where people can familiarize with the such amazing innovation. This video is played by Robbo, SubMixPros’ art director and electronic musician. We hope you enjoy it!
