Artemis: 6-voice Synth from Dreadbox + Sinevibes

[christian f.]

Looks nice. I love the Dreadbox sound
If I didn't buy their Murmux already, I probably would have picked this up.
Before the Murmux, I had an Abyss which sounds great too.

That's a great little synth. Sounds amazing.

'Woke' is just a snark against having values that lead to wanting to be nice to other people. So, don't be snarky and try being nicer to people. You'll have a better life.

I knew this was coming, it looks and sounds great- but I have a Nymphes, Abyss and Medusa, which are already enough Dreadbox sounds. I'll watch the Sonicstate and Starsky Carr videos, but for now that's all. Being called 'woke' doesn't work as an insult, it just lets me know who to ignore.

Having said that, I doubt very much they make their own components and more than likely use bog standard Asian-made ones. There are very few synths that don't, no matter where they're made. Plenty of classic synths with screaming filters were made using bog standard off the shelf components.

My comment was purely about making own like boxes
- serious expensive stuff if to mold own plastic boxes
- unless bent metal which is much cheaper

Surely electronic components are made all over the world, I guess.

Standard components can have very different specs

The DAC project
"The silver cans are power supply electrolytes, we may change these for Blackgates, os-cons, TEAPO, Jackon Low ESR and stuff like that. You may also experimnt with tantalum caps - the result I havent yet tested but of course I will."

"2. fully upgraded by WIMA MKP and TEAPO lytics low esr shitty but cost effective caps.
3. As above but with the best OS-CONS - Sanyo caps regarded to be the best for digital.
"

"The subjective feeling was that the trebles from Tantalum were so much superior to the other four that it was shocking. They were airy, pure, clear, strong, beautiful. Just the best I ever heard. But the rest of the spectrum did not match. The balance was tilted.

Os-cons on the other hand sound ..... like nothing at all. Equipment disappears and the musicians simply come to me. No trebles no bass - just total transparency and insight into the event. Quite spectacular feeling. I was amazed.
Teapo had very strong bass and everything else was really good. I could live with that. Considering its low price and good availability - a great value. MUCH above the standard board.

There are major differences in properties for components.
- doing the hi end choices all the way the result will be noticed
- and some of it on the price tag too



When a chip has instant higher demand on current capacitors near by will deliver power not needing to go all the way from power supply.

If a chip getting a drop on voltage that will affect the analog output too in the end.
- first the low level harmonics at hi end will suffer
- this give a lush hi end when that works

I bought the standard board with power supply for $100 on eBay, then spent another $60 on capacitors and then a metal box.
- and got a DAC that is superior to anything shipped with medium prices electronics CD, DVD and BD players.

That's borderline audiophile pseudoscience nonsense. Yes, higher quality components will impact the sound very slightly, but the difference is extremely subtle and usually only shows up in scientific measurements. Even generic capacitors and other electric components have specs published, like voltage, capacitance, tolerances, internal resistance, temperature stability, ripple current, leakage etc. Manufacturers aren't just randomly choosing capacitors from a pile and hoping for the best, it's an exact science that has been perfected over decades.

Keep in mind that even your computer's motherboard, which is extremely reliant on accurate voltages delivered with extreme timing accuracy under wildly varying loads (a CPU can go from a few watts at idle to 200W at full load within a few milliseconds) gets away with using cheap generic capacitors.

Lots of "professional" gear like audio interfaces, studio monitors etc. use cheap generic capacitors and other electric components that would absolutely horrify "audiophiles". Usually "audiophiles" fail to tell their $3000 DACs apart from cheap generic ones in blind tests. I find it funny that audiophiles spend thousands on DACs, amplifiers and even cables just to listen to music (although arguably they're listening to their gear, not the music), while the people who actually make music just plug their $99 headphones directly into their $120 Scarlett interface and get on with it.

That sounds fabulous! I Dreadbox kit, though all of mine is 100% eurorack.

[SHall1000]

The effects section on this would make a nice eurorack module.

Woke? In what way is it woke? Please explain.

Nonsense? In what way is it nonsense? Please explain.


Of course I am convinced that you completely lack the cognitive ability to answer either one of these in a way that isn't a) highly cringe-worthy, b) simply extremely dumb and c) basically just overall a complete mental disaster, but I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt either way.

you may need quite a lot; that account hasnt been used since the day after they posted that, ie mid-November last year.

Oh, I see - thanks for the heads up...

I thought it was a new thread (especially since I have never heard of Artemis until today)

Full demo :

I may have to make space for one.

[cryophonik]

I don’t know how much longer I can wait. I may need to fly to Greece and grab the first one off the production line.

Mine was shipped 3 days ago direct from Dreadbox, can’t wait
