Casper Electronics has announced that it’s now taking pre-orders for the Drone Lab V2, a 4 voice analog drone synth, rhythm generator and FX processor.

Description:

The Drone Lab is capable of generating rich, textured soundscapes, hypnotic drones and complex rhythmic sequences. It features a series of filter and distortions circuits as well as an audio input jack. This allows it to be used as an effects processor for external audio signals.

The Drone Lab retails for $50 for the PCB only, $200 for a PCB and parts kit, and $350 fully assembled. Read more…

Clockwork Robot makes a Atari Punk Console synth/noise maker, the Colossus Synthesizer, that fits in an Altoids Tin.

via MarbleMad:

hHere we have the synthesizer (a tweaked Atari Punk console) and a clock + power all housed in one altoids tin and an analogue sequencer housed in a second Altoids tin.

Later a second sequencer module is added to increase the number of steps from 8 to 16.

If you’ve built the Colossus Synthesizer, leave a comment with your thoughts!

DIY Synthesizer Demo

via MusicMiK:

This is a little demonstration of my DIY synthesizer. Due to video length limits, just a very very small subset of the features is shown.

The synthesizer provides 2 VCOs, 2 12dB state variable filters, ring modulator, noise and an extremely flexible routing system with 26 VCAs to get everything together. It consists of about 1300 parts and is completely built onto veroboards.

Update: not yet completed, but at least an insight into this synth: http://www.mik-music.org/MiK-one_Service_Manual_PREVIEW.pdf

      something to think about

      People say synthesizer music is very cold. But that’s not the synthesizer; it’s the musician behind it. The difference is that with acoustic instruments, the player has the ability to put in this precious thing we call soul. That’s what I’m trying to do with synthesizers. — Vangelis
