Synare 3 (80's Analog Drum) ***Now with Demo!!!

[peAk]

Hi guys,

Been a while since I have posted anything. I have been working on a few but finally finished this up. You may have seen the vintage ones before cause they have a unique, round, ufo look to them. Mine, obviously, looks completely different.

This thing is really beefy and can get all kinds of synthetic, analog drum sounds. They were used by Gary Numan, Joy Division, The Cure, Devo, etc. It's two oscillators that can be detuned, harmonized, or whatever. You can also switch one of the oscillators to white noise as well as the other oscillator to act as an LFO. I bought the PCB from helensson and added some basic mods (DC Power, LED, External Trigger Input) but it's pretty true to the original. He's actually working on a new pcb design that will implement midi. I will be jumping all over that when he's done.

I am really happy with the way this one came out. This was my first attempt doing the vintage style side panels. I am not a wood work guy so I am pleased that they came out this well. This thing is triggered by a piezo sensor under the pad.

Sorry, no gut shots. Wouldn't matter anyway cause all the components are facing up. I will try, however, to post a demo of this thing.

 

Here is a short kinda dark, experimental demo created with the Synare. All sounds except synth pad, strings, and vocal sample are created using (many) Synare. Yes, those synth bass stabs are create with the Synare too

Wow! Seriously impressive sir. You have to put a synth demo together...

Dig the wooden panels and knob selection.

(I just watched  helensson's demos and this is an awesome piece of gear!)

Really wicked and what a great look all around!
Can we see a gutshot?

[Leevibe]

Rad. Yeah, let's hear it! Does it do the deep 808 thing?

[Cortexturizer]

[alanp]

Cool. So it's a really posh porch board, then?

I think I need to work up some drum PCBs.

This is insanely well done peAk.  The job you did on the wood panels is truly professional. I think I want one now.
