Page 4: Specification
There is no voice DSP happening! Semblance has a similar sound and specification to the classic Oberheim SEM, but with many improvements such as MIDI, Noise, more modulation. Note however, Semblance is not intended to be and is not a clone of the SEM. If you want a true SEM sound, buy a... - Page 5 Jack sockets (6.35mm, mono); MIDI Sockets; Rugged steel contruction Dimensions: Height: 110mm Width: 242mm. Depth: 275mm Weight: 2.3Kg Power: Uses 15VAC, 500mA mains adaptor, 2.1mm DC type barrel plug (draws approx. 40mA) Accessories: Manual, Mains adaptor (230v) analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09...

Page 6: Introduction
Use in place of your boring digital synths and DSP soft synths. EFFECTS PROCESSOR Semblance has an audio input socket, so you can feed external sounds into the on- board analogue filters for analogue processing. analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09... -
Page 7: Safety Instructions
Mounting Mounting does not mean 'place on the wall' or 'to make love to' in this instance. Place Semblance soundly on any stable surface so he cannot fall off or over, causing it or your- self injury. POWER Possible sources of US voltage mains adaptors (not tested);... -
Page 8: Initial Tuning
The best way to learn how to use Semblance is to go straight ahead and play with it. Reading of this manual may only be neccessary for finer operational detail. -
Page 9: Vco1
Turn this knob anti-clockwise in increasing amounts to apply frequency modulation (FM) to VCO1. Use this for vibrato and trill effects on the pitch. In a central position, there will be no modulation to either PW or Frequency. analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09... -
Page 10: Vco2
This controls the amount of modulation to either pulse width or pitch from the modula- tion source selected by the SOURCE switch. Turn this knob clockwise in increasing amounts to apply pulse width modulation (PWM) analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09... -

VCO1 or VCO2 to enhance the effect. There is a balancing act between the pitch of the two sound sources (usually the 2 VCOs) to get a good effect, once found you'll know you've found it! analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09... -
Page 12: Noise Generator
Turning the control clockwise in increasing amounts sends VCO2s pulse wave signal to the mixer. Turning the control anti-clockwise in increasing amounts sends VCO2s sawtooth wave signal to the mixer. In a central position no signal is sent from VCO2 to the mixer. analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09... -
Page 13: Vcf
Resonance is a feature of adding feedback to the filter circuit. The output of the filter is fed back into the filter input. Resonance sets the level of feedback. As the control is increased to higher levels the filter will self-oscillate. The oscillation frequency is set by analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09... - Page 14 Signal at the EXT2 socket is used as a mod source. Use for external filter control. NOTCH This sets the relative mix between the low pass and high pass filters that is fed to the analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09...

Page 15: Filtering External Sound Sources
Finally, play around with the filter and modulation settings as neccessary. The VCO signals can also be introduced, and use the various VCA modes and enve- lopes if you wish to contour the sound level and add additional effects. analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09... -
Page 16: Envelope Generators
Controls the Decay or the Release time - the time it take the envelope signal to return to zero when the key is released. SUSTAIN Controls the level the envelope will hold at when a key is pressed and the attack cycle has completed. analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09... -
Page 17: Eg2 Asr
When EG2 is selected, the envelope signal of EG2 is used to modulate the VCA level. Use it if you require the VCA level to change over time. (Normal use). MIDI/EG When this is selected, EG2 is again used as the modulation source, but the overall analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09... -
Page 18: Lfo / Sample And Hold
Filter as an effects processor, to process external audio fed into Sem- blance via the EXT1 socket. VOLUME This sets the output volume of Semblance, i.e. the output level from the VCA that is sent to the SIGNAL output socket. LFO / Sample and Hold The Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) is basically identical to a VCO;... - Page 19 Sample and Hold (S+H) is a flash term that in this instance basically means a modu- lation is created that has a new random signal level each time the LFO completes a cycle (each time the LFO LED lights up a new modulation level is set). analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09...

Page 21: Rear Panel Details
EXT2 modulation points, selected via the top panel switches. SIGNAL output socket This is the main audio output for Semblance. It is the signal output from the VCA, post-Volume control. All jack sockets are 6.35mm mono. -
Page 22: Rear Panel Audio Connections
The main signal output is on the rear panel. Connect this socket to a spare mixing desk input channel. If you want to feed external signals into Semblance, use the rear panel EXT1 socket. Maybe hardwire if from your desk's effect send. -
Page 23: No Signal
Certain extreme PW/PWM settings may cause the pulse outputs to cut-out. Try ad- justing PW/PWM as neccessary. Try putting the VCA to ON to hear Semblance sound, but if you are using a MIDI keyboard to trigger the envelopes and VCA, ensure correct MIDI connection, and that the correct channels have been selected. - Page 24 9/ Repeat steps 3 through 8 until all is in tune. VCO2 For VCO2 you repeat the above steps VCO1 can be used as a reference instead of a tuner, using the zero-beat method. analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09...

Page 25: Midi Connections
MIDI CONNECTIONS Semblance can make sounds all by itself by leaving the VCA ON, but it is best played with a MIDI keyboard (or other MIDI device). Connect MIDI Out (or Thru) from your MIDI controller device to the MIDI In of Sem- blance. -
Page 26: To Set Midi Receive Channel
CV2 will set itself to the CC number received. Release the Program button. Note; The Program button must be held in whilst pressing a key or moving a control- ler. CC number 7Fh is reserved. Avoid using this controller. analogue solutions Semblance/Telemark e&oe (c) 5-3-09... -

Telemark web page. Rear Panel Sockets The main audio out is on the rear panel as with the Semblance, but the two additional jacks a routed differently. The rear panel sockets EXT5 and EXT6 are hard wired audio input sockets that are fed directly into the VCF to allow signal processing. - Page 28 This manual assumues you already have at least basic knowledge of modular synths. We will not provide you here with a tutorial of modulars synth the Web has many graphic descriptions.tutorials and explanations that will assist.

Warranty Semblance comes with a 1 year (from purchase date) back to base warranty, (i.e. customer must arrange and pay for carriage to and from Analogue Solutions or the dealer from which purchased). This warranty shall not apply where the product has been subject to alteration, misuse, accident, neglect (such as extremes of temperature and/or moistur) or to wear resulting from normal use.
