YAMAHA DX7 II FD "Chimes" Video
Published on Oct 11, 2013
"(c) 2013 vintage synthesizer demo track by RetroSound
'Chimes'
all synthesizer sounds: YAMAHA DX7 II FD FM-Synthesizer (1987)
recording: multi-tracking without midi
fx: reverb and delay
The demo shows typical and not so typical FM sounds. a bit PPG and Fairlight like.
I like this synth a lot! Yamaha should built a DX7 III with realtime controller like the old PSS FM keyboards, with internal arpeggiator, step sequencer and a fx unit with reverb and delay and chorus. this would be fantastic."

"that's right kids...gather round'....
the original CS1x synth (that this morph came from) was in bad shape, there were cracked & missing pieces of plastic, missing and broken keys, almost in non playable condition...
so to avoid throwing away a perfectly good sounding,and functioning synth engine, we Morphed it into this cool table top synth module...just plug in your favorite keyboard or midi controller...awesome!
I have done 3 CS projects like these in the past 5 years, and this one is the best so far.
as you can see its not a factory perfect piece...but it is "supercool" and it was a lot of fun to build. its definitely very unique and fun to look at, and everybody who sees it, absolutely loves it. you may even get inventive and add a set of legs to it, so it stands up next to your keyboard, or further experiment with the outer shell ...or just leave it as it is.
don't worry about the graphics, whenever a button is pressed its function shows in the LCD, the rest is easy to memorize or just look in the manual..."

Make Noise Maths Optomix Thrash ( DPO MMG PRESSURE POINTS BRAINS )
Published on Oct 11, 2013 Paul Johnson·8 videos
"First mess about with the modular since receiving MATHS & OPTOMIX today. Just a bit of fun, some seriously crazy modulations , squeals and screams.
Also used are the DPO, Moddemix, Pressure Points, Brains, MMG, A145 LFO, A160/161 Clock Sequencer/Divider.
The audio is going through a Quadraverb for delay, then recorded into Logic. The video was filmed on my iPad. The audio & the video were then merged using iMovie."

Korg DSS-1 Sampler/Synth Template for MIDI Designer
"This is to program the amazing KORG sleeper sampler synth from the 80's the perennial DSS-1, still to be had under $200! This synth rules, analog VCA, VCF, with samples as OSC's or from cool additive (128 different sine waves!) or handdrawn wavefroms!?!! Amazing CPU/Memory upgrade available makes this into a modern day masterpiece.
Anyhow this layout includes every available sysex and a pitch wheel to smoothly control cutoff. For some reason almost all the sysex are realtime except cutoff, the most important! But the workaround is to set pitchbend interval amount to zero and turn on "Joystick Filter Sweep" which allows cutoff to be controlled via onboard joystick or midi pitchbend signals, so thats why thats there! Also the cutoff knob is glitchy when in use so I made it send on release only.
Everything is on one page except delay setting. This beast has dual digital delays built in and there's second page for all those controls."

Spectralis 2 Fixed Filterbank drums and trigger groups demo
Published on Oct 10, 2013 acemonvw·66 videos
"Only one sample (for strings) was used in this piece. The rest is the
Hybrid Synth, Fixed Filterbank (for drums), and some sequencer lines.
Enjoy :)"
via Michael Dennis Raleigh on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
"Basically, noise is being passed through different frequencies to create the bass kick, snare, and hi-hats. They might not sound the greatest, but they're not sampled drums. I think it's a neat feature of the spectralis to be able to do this. Further into the song I created a stronger bass kick using the hybrid synth and adding a sequencer-line to detune it in 1 step (so it would go beeoow from a higher note to a lower one, around 4:30 min)."

Rob Papen Discounts BLUE Birtual Instrument in Readiness for BLUE-II
“Warm, analogue, and cinematic all come to mind when I hear BLUE.”
- Pedro Macedo Camacho (award-winning film and video game composer)
"ECHT, THE NETHERLANDS: virtual instrument and effects plug-in developer Rob Papen Soundware is delighted to pass on substantial savings to its loyal customer base and beyond by drastically discounting its breakthrough BLUE virtual instrument in readiness for the upcoming BLUE-II followup...
Powered by RPCX (Rob Papen ConcreteFX), BLUE is an exciting soft synth that delivers FM synthesis, Phase Distortion synthesis, wave shaping synthesis, and subtractive synthesis in one seriously creative combination covering a wide range of musical styles, helped along by 2,000-plus inspirational Rob Papen presets to get your creative juices well and truly flowing forth for all to hear!
Indeed, Rob Papen collectively call it ‘Crossfusion synthesis’ since it covers so much musical ground courtesy of its six oscillator modules — A to F, each of which include analogue, additive, and spectral-type waveforms, with oscillators A and B also offering PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and Sym (Symmetry) control — that can be combined in various ways using 32 different modulation routings in the Algorithm screen; FILTER A and FILTER B — analogue-style modelled multimode (Parallel or Serial) stereo filters offering 6dB LP (lowpass), 6dB HP (high-pass), 12dB LP, 12dB HP, 12dB BP (bandpass), 12dB N (notch), 24dB LP, 24dB HP, 24dB BP, 24dB N, Ring, Comb, and Vox (formant) filter types with control by predefined modulation controllers like Env (envelope), Vel (velocity), KeyTrk (keytrack), and ModWhl (modulation wheel), plus nine associated AHDSFR (attack/hold/decay/sustain/fade/release) envelopes (Env); four multi-envelopes (Multi-Env) that can be built up using up to 16 sections with full graphic control and additional menus with presets; 10 MIDI-sync-able LFOs directly connected to PWM A, PWM B, Filter A, Filter B, Tremelo (amp), Vibrato (main pitch), and four free LFOs (Free A to Free D) — each with adjustable Poly/Mono/Free play modes, Key>Speed (keytracking), Symmetry, Smooth (smoothing), Attack, Decay, and Humanize functions; three modulation step sequencers (Step Seq) with Sequence Start/ Stop and Poly/Mono/Free play modes, Speed control and Smooth function; Mods (modulation matrix) with two pages of 10 slots, 22 synth sources, 23 MIDI sources, and no fewer than 91 synth destinations; 32-step Seq/Arp (mono sequencer and arpeggiator) with Length, Speed, Slide Amnt, Swing, and Vol Smooth functions and an abundance of step settings; and two high-quality FX boxes each offering self-explanatory Mono Delay, Stereo Delay, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Distort, Low Fi, Stereo Widener, Reverb, Comb, Gator, Amp Sim, Wah/Delay, AutoPan, Chorus/Delay, Waveshaper, Ensemble, and Compressor effects with serial and parallel modes... this seemingly inexhaustible, ear-opening list goes on. And on! Almost as easy as ABC, right? Well, not quite!
Any serious synthesist can surely see that this is one serious soft synth that is truly a superior sound designer’s dream to behold! What’s even more remarkable is that BLUE represented a software dream come true for Rob Papen’s namesake founder and sought-after sound designer Rob Papen when he formed the aforementioned RPCX partnership with music software developer Jon Ayers to develop new Rob Papen virtual instruments and effects plug-ins, starting with BLUE back in 2005 as a powerful dream synth that has since stood the test of time to remain just that.
Little wonder, then, that BLUE has proven so popular throughout its lengthy lifetime, having set Rob Papen on a long and winding road to an abundance of software successes. Though the Rob Papen roadmap is now leading to BLUE-II in the not too distant future, until then the company is offering BLUE at a drastically discounted price, and, of course, you can still upgrade to BLUE-II once it is released — even if you purchased BLUE as recently as September 2013. Still feeling blue? Well, why not cheer yourself up today by buying BLUE at almost half its original asking price and take your music to higher levels of creativity than ever before while waiting to take them even higher!
BLUE can be purchased as a boxed version from authorised Rob Papen dealers worldwide for €79.00 EUR (including VAT/tax)/$99.00 USD or downloaded directly from Rob Papen here: http://www.robpapen.com/buy-blue.html"

KORG ms-20 mini jam session
Published on Oct 11, 2013 ollilaboratories·7 videos
"Got my KORG ms-20 this week. Hooked it up for the first time today through a ibanez analogue Echo Shifter delay.
The ms20 was synced with a KORG monotribe through a jomox t-resonator with added rev+ddl FX.. the ms20 is clean except for the analogue delays.
No multitracking... one take no edits and overdubs straight into DAW just some limiter to keep the peaks down. And yep, its noisy and hissy, but thats the way i like it.
And yeah, i suffer from "cutoff frequency knob ticks"... 30 years w analogue synths does that to you :)
