Novation Ultranova - analog modeling synth

UltraNova is the new generation of Novation’s iconic ‘Nova’ range of synthesizers. It packs the massive ‘Nova’ sound into a compact body with a built-in vocoder.

A new ‘Touch’ performance system places deep control of the synth right at your fingertips – so incredible new ways to play, create and perform are just a touch away.

TipTop Z8000 sequencer

TipTop Boss from Chris Carter on Vimeo.

This is basically just a TipTop Z8000 sequencer controlling a Z-DSP module, a Z2040 VCF & a Z5000 VCDSP module. The audio source is a Boss DR-220E Dr.Rhythm, which is also triggering the Z8000 sequencer from its programmable Trig output. Other modules used were a MFB Dual LFO- to change the direction of the sequencer and a Doepfer Dual VCA modulated by two Doepfer VCOs to add a little ring-mod'ish timbre.

A very special Moog

HUMAN NATURE - HOELLENMASCHINE (2009) from Ars Electronica on Vimeo.

The first wiring diagrams for the Max Brand synthesizer by Bob Moog are dated 1957. Over more than 10 years, Moog, then a young engineer, built this unique apparatus on the basis of Max Brand’s ideas. The sole traces left by the composer are in the interface design: two keyboards, 2 band-manuals and four foot pedals! The core components are the two frequency dividers, each with 20 sub-frequencies and a adjustable matrix of 3 blocks, each with 4 x 20 sub-harmonic modules including the first voltage-controlled modules Moog ever built (VCA, VCF, VCO).
