ARP 4075 Filter Mod - Before and After
Переглядів 1025 місяців тому
I have recently been working on my Arp Odyssey 2813 restoration project. While recapping the synthesizer, I decided to go ahead and perform the 4075 modification while the filter board was disconnected. Apparently ARP incorrectly calculated some resistor sizes during design which caused the 4075 filter to not reach the optimum frequency cutoff range. I went ahead and recorded some before and af...

Expanding your Korg Volca's with the Poly Sequencer
Hi, I'm back with another question. Could it be possible for you to add a feature in CC to CV mode to have an option to have the channel V1, V2, V3 gate outs be extra CC to CV outs? If the hardware can't do continuous CV from those outputs (which would be the ideal), could it do switches? i.e. high value for on and low value for off. At the moment I combine a Neutron and Midivolts Desktop to do the conversion but I'm looking to create a small integrated rack for live work and if I could have that capability in a module (pitch with pitch bend to CV and 4 or more channels of CC to CV), that would be brilliant.
Hey thanks for the question! The intent was to never use the gate CV outputs to be used as variable voltage, however I'll have to check if those pins support PWM so it might be possible. I would say using the gate outs as CV switches is definitely doable but would require some firmware adjustments. I'm in the middle of a project right now, but I will explore this a bit once I am done. Which MidiVolts desktop version do you have?
@@spacebraincircuits1358 thanks for the reply. Mine is version 1.4.
@@unclemick-synths got it thanks! The 1.4 unfortunately doesnt have a usb port for firnware upgrades, but I provide these for free. I'll let you know what I find. Shoot me an email and we can keep the conversation going there. spacebraincircuits@gmail.com
Where can I buy it?
Hey thanks for the interest! You can purchase one my Etsy account if you would like. spacebraincircuits.etsy.com
Interested do you have adapter boards to sell?
I don't have any in stock but I have all files available for download. Shoot me an email and I will send you a link. spacebraincircuits@gmail.com
Hi. How do I change the MIDI channel. Thanks
Hey! I have the sysex files available on my github as well as a walkthrough on how to send sysex data to the MidiVolts. github.com/SpaceBrainCircuits/MidiVoltsDesktop Let me know if you have any questions!
i think i purchased the last one on etsy lol ! cant wait to recieve this and try it out.
Awesome thanks so much! Occasionally, we sell out but we are always making more! Will ship tomorrow! Thanks!
@@spacebraincircuits1358 thank you for that mate! im already in the process of paying the taxes to import it into EU and then ill be rocking on! I do however have a few questions , hope im not being annoying lol! Does 4 voices only work on drone mode and with the Keyboard local off? How much sounds can i actually get on 4 voices, since i see many of the routing possibilities are taken by the midivolt. best regards. *Edit I just saw its possible to play chords without being in drone mode... sorry for that lol
@@RobertRodriguez19906 definitely check out the beginner guide first. The setup on this video is complicated! Have fun!
i have just purchased this from europe! fingers crossed that it arrives in good shape! much love !
Thank you so much! I processed your order and dropping off tomorrow!
@@spacebraincircuits1358 Just got the confirmation Email! thank you so much! tryna wrap my head around how to actually get it to run haha! just got my GM last week so its still new to me! Thank you.
@@RobertRodriguez19906 All good! Im always just a message away so if you have any troubles, I will help get you set up. Also, I highly recommend watching the beginner guide, this should get you up and running!
Awesome!
Hey boss man! Hadn’t used my midi volts 4-voice unit in a minute. Got it set back up on the grandmother and got her cookin. But when I have all three voices going in poly 3, I get some almost distortion-like noise or crunch. When I just isolate one voice, I don’t get it. Is this something I’m doing wrong?
Hey! double check your power supply first of all make sure you have a 9v DC supply. 9v AC will create very weird results. Hmm, maybe check your mixer section. The GM mixer section drives really easily. Maybe try to turn these down a bit? If you are still having issues, shoot me an email and we can keep troubleshooting. Spacebraincircuits@gmail.com
Meant to point out, I have the module. I’ll email you now for some other discussion. Thank you!
@@AlchmstDsgn All good, I just sent you an email!
This thing looks and sounds really awesome!! For how clean the front is, the back panel does feel a bit messy. Two different types of midi connector, USB mini B with the pcb showing through and the connectors not aligned with each other. It might not influence the functionality itself but it still counts in a premium-priced device. Currently the price is too steep for me (especially including shipping and VAT) but overal an incredible effort! Will keep my eye on this one for sure because the sounds are right up my alley. Also: please mention the dimensions of the device somewhere. It's quite important for small-setup-people like myself 🙏🏻
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, I see your points and will keep this in mind. I appreciate the time and feedback. I will also provide dimensions on the listing! really appreciate it!
This thing sounds freakin awesome!! I love the layout of the UI as well
Thank you so much!
I have a MV 1.4. What is the purple patch cable? Can I do this without a controller that sends cv?
That is going from the Keystep Gate Out jack. Unfortunately, the B2600 only triggers above 8v I believe. I had my keystep set up to output a 10v gate. Hope this helps! If you want to use the Midivolts gate out you need to first process the 5V and amplify it to ~10V. This is possible with just using the CV processing on the B2600. I have a photo if needed.
@@spacebraincircuits1358 That'd be great if it's not too much trouble. i think i got round it by also sending midi to the 2600s usb port.
@@stm7405 oh clever! Yea, shoot me a message on Etsy and Ill send you a picture of the patch.
Great video! Will be trying out some of the patches.
Great video! Really cool synth. I really like some of the shift features, the great filters, the great stereo effects, and can't wait to try it out (I ordered one today). A reasonable price for a quality product. I have purchased the SPACEBRAIN MidiVolts Desktop and Poly Sequencer in the past and enjoyed using them. Everything you make is high quality and lasts! Kudos to you and this awesome synth!
Thank to so much! I really appreciate the repeat purchases. Really means a lot to me! If you ever have any questions, I'm always here! Thanks!
Hello i'm from France and I would like to have one, is there a way to buy it? (the etsy link doesn't work)
Unfortunately, France has changed their policies on order over 150 euros. Shoot me a message on Etsy and we can work on a solution!
Would this work with the subharmonicon?
Hey! Yes, the device is compatible, except the subharmonicon only has 1 oscillator, so you wont be able to create chords. However, you could use the sub harmonicon with a mother32 (For instance) and create chords by creating a somewhat hybrid polysynth. Hope this makes sense! thanks!
@@spacebraincircuits1358yes! I believe the subharmonicon has two oscillators in it. If so would it just be more of a duophonic sound?
@@trevorkajca2007 oh wow I just checked the user manual and you are correct! The sub does have 2 oscillators and more importantly has two separate pitch CV inputs. So yes, you could generate a duophonic sound using this! Thanks for the correction!
YES sir great work! please share the project with me! I have an ARP that needs some new sliders
Yea sure, shoot me an email at spacebraincircuits@gmail.com
Sounds divine and love the form factor & UI :) What are you controlling with the mod strip on the arturia pls ? Peace from the UK
Mod wheel controls the amount of LFO getting sent to oscillators/ filters. Thanks for the kind words! Definitely shoot me a message if interested! Take care!
Good lord. Beautiful.
Is there a tutorial on this for the product ?
Yes I have two other videos. The beginners guide as well as the troubleshooting guide. You can find these on my channel! Thanks for the interest!
@@spacebraincircuits1358 sick ! Thank you!
What do you need to get this working?? 😍 i need this for my studio holy shit 🤩 would this work in fl studio?!
MidiVolts Desktop uses the standard midi protocol so any daw including FL studio will work! Let me know if you have any other questions!
any plans on releasing the circuit? i'm an amateur synth builder and would love to put my skills to the test by making this myself
Hey thanks for the comment. I havent considered this actually. This circuit is quite complex and requires mostly SMD soldering which isnt the most beginner friendly. Thanks and good luck!
Hello ...lovely sounds ... really it is a great job... how may I buy one for me ? ... I live in paris - France...
Hey thanks for the interest! Send me a message on Etsy and we can discuss sending one to you! Import taxes make international a bit more complicated so it's best to discuss first! Thanks for the interest!
Good for Yeet type traX.....(((😊))))))))))))))))))))) ❤.
how have i not heard of this before?
Hey! We are just a small shop! Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Would it help me obtain a polyphonic aftertouch (4 voice) ? :) Are those beautiful devices still available? Thank you very much for your work!
Hey! Unfortunately, the unit only supports one voice of aftertouch. Yes, I still sell on Etsy! Thanks!
Will you be able to offer UK shipping soon?
Hey thanks for reaching out! The import taxes are quite high shipping to UK and EU so still working on the best way to get units overseas. However, shoot me a message on Etsy if interested and I can give you the total plus VAT tax. Just want to be as transparent as possible! Thanks for the interest!
Got a grandmother last week, ordered a midivolts today. You sir, are great. Thank you for this awesome work!
Awesome! Thanks for the order and your recent purchase of the GM. It really is an amazing synth! Enjoy and talk soon!
違いがなかなか分かりませんでした。 滑らかに変化するようになったんでしょうか?
私も違いが分かりません。私にも同じように聞こえます。高レゾナンスだと少し違うかも?
Woahh! Is there any other effects applied to the grandmother or is this recorded direct in and no effects?
Hey Evan, actually there is delay and lots of reverb! I have a few other vids with a dryer sound! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Your setup sounds so sick!
I clicked the link for the one you have and it’s not sold with that lovely case 😢
I read the desc and I still can't figure... this is actually raising grandmother's value and inmusic should buy you off and continue paying you to develop it.
I’m super interested in getting this device but I want to make sure I understand how it works. Is there any way to transpose recorded sequences while they are playing? I’m not seeing that as a feature here. Thanks for any help!
Hey! Thanks for the question! No, the device does not work in this way. Instead of transposing when pressing a key, the unit will either overwrite the current played step so that it is repeated or temporarily override the current step. Hope this makes sense!!!
This is sounds amazing! I am interested in this.
Thank you so much! Definitely let me know if you have questions!
sold out :(
Sorry about that! I actually have more available. They should be back in stock now!
Alright I’m baffled by the way this works still. Sorta get the concept… though maybe not. So would this work on the Moog Sub 37CV with the 2 CV inputs ?
Hey! I am not too familiar with the Sub37 CV. From what I can tell, you can only assign outputs? I could be wrong. But if this is the case, the reason Midivolts can create poly/ para playing is because each oscillator on the Grandmother has a dedicated Pitch CV input. If its possible to assign a pitch CV input for each OSC on the 37 CV, then this would be possible but as of now, I do not think this is the case. Thanks for the question and hope this helps!
now, i miss my Matriarch a tad bit less. doing this tomorrow. :)
This is so inspirational , it gives me so much small and bigger ideas,but easily with lots of other instruments
Thanks alot! That means a lot to me and best of luck to you! Good luck with your music endeavors!
Holy fuck. Holy fucking fuck. Holly fucking hell. You invoked my childhood memories. Instantly I thought of Masters of the Universe.
I did this mod on mine soon after they came out. I think it was a mod-wiggler post. I since moved on to an SE I want to mod and was looking for the thread, luckily your video came up! Woo! Thanks!
Oh awesome! Best of luck and hope it goes smooth!
Hi! Can this work with a Moog Voyager XL? Thanks.
Hey! Thanks for the question. The MidiVolts works with any 1v/Oct synth. However, if you are looking to make the voyager xl poly, this is not possible due to there only being 1 pitch CV input. Sorry about that! However, it is possible to use the voyager with the MidiVolts if you have multiple 1v/Oct synths. You can hook up multiple synths to create a hybrid polysynth if that makes sense. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the precious information!@@spacebraincircuits1358 I will buy for now the eurorack version! Cheers from Romania and keep up the good work

Does the Moog still arp in 3 octaves in poly?
No sorry, I dont believe the Moog grandmother can handle poly sequences if thats what you are wondering. If you want to poly sequence, you will need to use an external sequencer such as Keystep or similar.
I have the desktop its great...could i use the desktop to use modular with midi from grandmother any advice would be welcome👍
Yes definitely! The desktop and modular are essentially the same, just a different form factor. Feel free to use with euro modules!
Nope, it's MOOG!!
Hi! For someone who doesn’t really understand all this (yet) could this turn a subsequent 37 into a polyphonic synth?
Hey! Unfortunately, since the sub37 doesn't have multiple pitch CV inputs, it's not possible to use the device to create polyphony with just the sub37. However, you can create hybrid polysynths by combing multiple monosynths(such as sub37) with other monosynths. Hope this helps! Thanks!
