EMS 256 Sequencer Repair Part 3


video upload by Really Nice Audio

"I socketed all the IC's and tested what I could. Found almost 20 faulty IC's through this process. Thanks to PCBWay for making my extender boards. If my design is correct I will share the design on PCBWay so all the thousands of people that need to fix their 256's can order their own.

This 256 is part of the Pete Townshend Synth collection housed at the University Of West London. https://www.uwl.ac.uk/study/study-fac..."

Tubbutec SH-1oh1 Max for Live Editor and Controller for the Roland SH-101


Tubbutec SH-1oh1 Editor for Roland SH-101 | Ableton Live Controller video upload by Studiomood



Studiomood has released SH-1oh1 Control, a Max for Live editor and MIDI controller for the Tubbutec SH-1oh1 upgrade installed in a Roland SH-101.

At the heart of the device is the Mood Engine, a 24-preset system designed for turning one sound into a whole collection of related variations. Inspired by the fast sound-variation workflow associated with the legendary AFX Mode, it encourages you to create a sound, copy it to the next preset, change a few parameters and keep moving.

Instead of treating presets as isolated patches, the Mood Engine makes them feel like different states of the same sound. Start with a bass sequence, copy it, open the filter, change the envelope, add an accent or push the extra LFO into filter FM territory. Within minutes, you can build a complete bank of connected variations and switch between them from Ableton Live or an external MIDI controller.

The video demonstrates exactly this Mood Engine workflow in action, moving through a series of connected SH-1oh1 sound variations and showing how a single starting point can evolve from preset to preset:

This makes the modified SH-101 especially interesting for live performance, evolving sequences and fast studio experimentation. Presets can be selected with the arrow buttons, Random can generate an unexpected starting point, and Reset clears the current preset when you want to begin again.

Behind the Mood Engine is a complete software editor for all MIDI-controllable SH-1oh1 parameters. Cutoff, envelope amount, the additional filter ADSR, filter and volume accents, accent decay and the extra filter LFO are all available directly inside Ableton Live. The LFO offers coarse and fine rate control, covering everything from slow movement to extreme filter FM sounds.

Velocity can be mapped to 9 different targets: None, Cutoff, Volume Accent, Filter Accent, Accent Switch, Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release.

Clock sources for the Arpeggiator/Sequencer and Random LFO can be selected from internal LFO, external trigger input, MIDI clock and MIDI note. The corresponding clock dividers are also available directly from the Max for Live device.

Settings are stored with the Ableton Live project. When returning to a session, Send All transmits the current parameter values back to the modified SH-101, bringing the hardware and software back together without having to recreate the sound by hand.

SH-1oh1 Control turns the expanded architecture of the Tubbutec modification into a hands-on Ableton instrument, with the Mood Engine opening up a fast and playful way to explore how far a Roland SH-101 sound can be pushed.

Requirements
Roland SH-101 with the Tubbutec SH-1oh1 hardware upgrade
Ableton Live with Max for Live
MIDI interface
SH-1oh1 Control is available from Studiomood for €19.95 including VAT.

MathSynth - Turn Mathematical Equations Into Musical Instruments



"MathSynth is a free iOS platform where mathematical functions become musical instruments. The idea is to explore the connection between mathematics and sound, not simply as an educational tool, but as an actual instrument for making music, learning, sharing and experimenting with different types of synthesis.

I reached out to MathSynth asking if there were any demos on YouTube. They said they would be coming. I'll be sure to follow up with them. Until then, feel free to give the Beta a try.

Ambient cascades | Novation Circuit Monostation, Stylophone Gen X-2 and S-1, Vongon pedals, eurorack

A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I enjoyed having the Vongon Solarfaze and Polyphrase on the table for my last jam and left them there on a whim. That was the starting point. Next, I needed to run a synth through them, so I chose the Novation Circuit Monostation. I borrowed the CMS from a friend and had been looking to make some music with it; my opinion is that it's an extremely underrated synth that can do way more than people recognized at the time. And once I had its sequencer running and a bassline queued up, I could hear more of what was needed.

I also recently got a couple of Stylophones, because they are extremely affordable—the S-1 was something like $60 Canadian—and because I like the sound of them. Using the CMS's CV outputs, I sent a second set of sequences to the Gen X-2, which has CV input. I also took advantage of the Gen X-2's beautiful internal delay for cascading performances. The S-1 ended up my improv melody device for the last third of the song.

At this point, I needed reverb but didn't want to add multiple reverb boxes, so I added the Jellymix to act as stereo send to all the synths. For reverb, I chose the Swells, because I currently have it in a case with the Fieldtone Weaver and Qu-Bit Stardust, which can add a lot to a mix through stereo sample mangling. The Stardust is playing something that came from the CMS into Weaver; the Weaver is playing a snippet of my voice.

By this point, I could hear the full song, and it was just a matter of adding a couple of sequences and performing the whole thing. Pretty fun to see how wanting to explore a bit of hardware can lead to a finished song.

Performed and recorded live to a stereo output from the Jellymix, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.
