Mystery 303




I don't know about you, but I'm not really into the guess the synth game. In my opinion all synths are capable - capable of unique sounds and cross-over sounds.  Every synth has their own character, yet shares a number of characters with other synths.  That said, this one was sent in via dude163.  This is 100% one synth.  You can guess if you like.  The answer is in the comments and the hint is in the label.  Don't look below if you want to guess!!!  :)

"I wanted to make quick video showing the functionality of this specific DW-8000, since I am selling it. This is definitely a great synth well worth the affordable price. If you want a more in depth look at the synthesizer, they are lots more on youtube! Yay!

The only parameter I was changing in real-time in this video, was "#31," "VCF CUTOFF." Oh, and my attempts at funking out with some modulation...

Overall review:

Easy to program
Able to save patches to your computer via SYSEX and vice versa
Lots of patches available all over the internet
Has a nice delay effect parameter which can be applied to the patch directly
Built-in arpeggiator! Which I forgot to demonstrate, ooops!!

If you are thinking about getting into 80's synths and programming them, this may be a good one to start with. Posse out."

Korg EX-800 with HAWK and AtomaHawk Upgrades

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"The original EX-800 had only a very basic MIDI implementation and also had somewhat limited sound modulating abilities. The HAWK and AtomaHawk kits bring so many new features including total MIDI control of every parameter. And the number of parameters is nearly doubled. There are four LFO's (2 LFO's and 2 SLFO's) instead of just one. The resonance, moog slayer and FM-800 mod's are part of the AtomaHawk upgrade. So you get all of those mod's and also the 12/24db per octave mod is included too. What really makes the difference is having those mod's under MIDI and patch memory control. Now you can use envelope generator 3 and any of the four LFO's to control the mod's. There is also MIDI velocity sensitivity, portamento and many, many more features including harmonic modulation. You also get 256 patch memory in 4 banks of 64. And all data is stored in flash ROM so you can forget about battery replacement and rest easy about battery leakage causing damage since you don't need an internal battery at all..."

Elektron Analog Four 2nd test - with Monotribe


Published on Dec 7, 2012 by darenager
"Second test, this time I tried syncing with the midi equipped Monotribe. The Monotribe is just doing the snare and hihat, the A4 is doing the kick and synth sounds, I tried to give a bit of a demo of the filters in the A4 by adjusting them on the various sounds. Again this is a first day demo so I am not fully au fait with the machine yet."

Yamaha CS-50 demo (Terminator main theme, Equinoxe 5)

Published on Dec 7, 2012 by kebunator
Just got hold of a Yamaha CS-50 and was blown away. Although several live videos await editing, and I usually don't do synth demo videos only, I couldn't help myself. Just playing this thing brings back a lot of memories...

Recorded to computer with reverb & delay. No EQ or mastering processors. Quick and dirty.

Laurie Spiegel Featured on Pitchfork - Intro on NASA's Golden Disk

"The experimental pioneer's groundbreaking work with computers in the 70s and 80s helped lay the foundation for many of today's electronic noise makers.

Probably the most remarkable thing about Laurie Spiegel is that a piece of music she made could be the first sound of human origin to be heard by extraterrestrial lifeforms. If aliens exist, of course. And assuming they have ears.

Spiegel's computer realization of a composition conceived back in the early 17th Century by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler is the opening cut on the Golden Record, a disc that accompanied both Voyager probes on their journey across the solar system and out into the great interstellar beyond in 1977..."

Read the full article on Pitchfork here.  Note the EMLs to her right.  The track that is floating in outer space?  "Kepler's Harmony of the Worlds" performed on the Bell Labs "computer-analog hybrid" below.  Don't miss vintage footage of Laurie performing on the system in this post. The track "Kepler's Harmony of the Worlds" was featured on Spiegel's "The Expanding Unniverse" posted here back in October.   It was the second to last track.  It's fascinating to think the message sent on NASA's Voyager probes opens with a synth.

Elektron AnalogFour first test - Acid, drums, A4


Published on Dec 7, 2012 by darenager
"Quick first test demo of the new Elektron Analog4, I wanted to see what it was like for making drum sounds and also some acid, this was done within about 90 minutes of getting it, so by no means a thorough run through. I have not yet tested most of the features so that is why this is just a basic demo. There are more comprehensive demos from guys that have had them a bit longer so check those out for some of the advanced stuff. First impressions are that it is very well suited to making analog drum sounds, as per usual with Elektron gear you can radically change the sound on each step, so with just a couple of tracks you can make some nice drum patterns, I will be exploring this further in a future video, right now I'm back off to play with it :)"

"The Drone Establisher" Unique Oscillator (CAE Telegraph & Data Generator 8620)

"Comes with a Banana to Jack cable, so you can plug it into your desk/amp/whatever.

I warn you, this thing is DAMN HOT; and by that, I mean the output of this unit is a large amount of volts which may potentially damage your equipment. Start on mute, and very slowly turn it up, if you go full-bore into something, you might regret it. It's blown up a guitar distortion pedal before --- It's had a taste of letting the magic smoke out of components, and it's got the need to extract more.
A hint: use the left hand side pair of outputs, as these are much lower in voltage and current than the right hand side pair of outputs.

What does it do, I hear you ask???

Well, it's designed to send test signals down phone lines in various patterns to emulate a modem. You'll see on there, there's a whole bunch of olde school modem bauds on there.

See those 8 switches on the right? They're sweet. If you put it into that mode, you draw the outputting waveform in these switches. Kind of like Walsh tones if you've heard of those.

What does it sound like?????
It sounds like THIS sample I recorded live randomly going through the modes.

Awful and terrible, sacred and profane. This is an unfiltered sound. If you run it through some effects, a pedal pitch, and a reverb or delay, you can ger some amazing timbres from this."

"Before I start I would like to say that Walet is more of a Noise Machine than a Synthesizer because there isn't a keyboard, only a Pitch slider on the Left hand side of the screen. Above this slider you have 4 horizontal sliders one of which enables the iDevice to act as a gyroscope. On the other side of the screen there are 5 other sliders dedicated to the Touch Mode. It's best to watch the video demo... The Wablet is very well done, the generated sound is really great, the only things missing are record and sharing features but it is only the 1.0 version of The Wablet, so I hope that it will be on a future update... (Note that I would really love to have a real keyboard or a Midi Feature). A Super App with a beautiful UI!"
