Korg DW-8000 controlled by the Novation ReMOTE SL (Template provided)

Published on Jul 8, 2014 MIDERA
Update: Re-Published on Jul 9, 2014

"I created a template to control the Korg DW-8000 and will share it
below. Feel free to download it but please don't claim it as your own,
I spent a lot of time creating this!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/clvgoz0717e...

There are two pages worth of data (controlling the DW-8000 via sysex),
the first page deals with the oscillators, VCA, VCF, as well as
changing the patch (the bottom 8 buttons under the sliders). The second
template page deals with the LFO, aftertouch, bend, and delay."

"I originally fell in love with Peter Gabriel's cover of this song. Sunday night, I was putting my son to sleep and listening to For Emma, Forever Ago and was really inspired to do my own version of this song.

I use vocoder to create a vocal line similar to Bon Iver's signature layering. I ran my tempest and my analog 4 through Korg Kaoss Pads to further add to the glitch sound I was going for. I really wanted to break up the patterns in the rhythms as much as possible, while filling in the space with the various synths, guitars, and bass. I hope you enjoy!"

via the seller: "This synth is really something special. It's received rave reviews in all the magazines and they are completely justified. I was lucky enough to contribute to the sound library and I had a great time working on this synth. They've really covered all vintage bases with this synth. It does an outstanding job of sounding like the great analogues from the 70's and 80's. Arp, SCI, Moog, Roland et al. It can also sound thoroughly modern thanks to the great selection of digital wavetables. Add to that the lovely sounding filters, then on top of that it's awesome FX section. The Perfomance mode is where this thing really comes to life. It's basically 4 stacked synthesizers. So any oscillator configuration is covered from all those classic synths. Here's an example of how I programmed the Vox Humana sound from the great Moog Polymoog 203a. On Program 1 I got a bit of PWM going with the LFO modulating the square waveshape, then added a bit of vibrato so the pitch modulates. On Program 2 I added a saw wave and modulated the pitch slightly with a slightly different rate to the LFO in Program One. Then I whacked on the Ensemble effect and Bam! Instant Numan!"

Microbe Modular Equation Composer - 3 Oscillator Synth & formant synth "mumbler" Modes


Published on Jul 8, 2014 clone45a6

"Demonstration of the 3 Oscillator Synth program for the Equation Composer. This program is a new addition to the factory programs contributed by Gaétan Ro. See http://www.microbemodular.com/product... details."

"Synth3Osc is a 3 osc synth with 2 main oscillators which can be detuned a sub oscillator, and a low-pass filter.

The MOD input controls the oscillator configuration. There are 16 configurations. For example, the first 4 configurations are:

MOD osc1 osc2 sub osc
0 sine sine sine (50% vol)
1 sine sawtooth sine (50% vol)
2 sawtooth sawtooth sine (50% vol)
3 sawtooth square sine (50% vol)

Param1 is the detuning between the first 2 oscillators. In the middle of the potentiometer there is no detune, in the far right, the second oscillator is a quarter tone higher, and far left is a quarter tone lower.

Param2 is the cutoff for the lowpass filter

Param3 is the resonance for the lowpass filter

Input Summary:

SR: Sample Rate
MOD: Selects the oscillator configuraton
[1] Detune
[2] Lowpass Cutoff
[3] Lowpass Resonance
GATE: not used"

Input Summary:

SR: Sample Rate (pitch)
MOD: Formant Scale
[1]: Formant Phase #1

[3]: Lowpass Filter Cutoff
GATE: Trigger input - rotates Format Phase values"

Preset Editing on the KORG PS3200


via Tom J Carpenter of Analogue Solutions on Facebook: "One little known thing about this synth is most of the knobs have built in pull switches enabling you to edit your presets"

According to another comment in that thread: "There is a flaw in the design though. You can edit your patch, but if you try and save it, it records ALL the current knob positions and not just the ones you have tweaked, thus erasing your patch."

The PS3200 came out in 1978.  If you are curious what was the first programmable synth with editable patch memories, see this post. Update: added another early programmable preset synth to that post, the ASE MCS-70.

Korg littleBits Test (Poor Man's Buchla Bounce)


Published on Jun 21, 2014 GenshiMediaGroup

"Another quick test of the littleBits Korg Synth Kit. This is a simple attempt at getting that "Buchla Bounce" sound out of the littleBits Korg Synth Kit.

I was able to accomplish this "poor man's Buchla" by glitching the littleBits through the way I had the signal chain structured; with the balance of the Mix of the two Oscillators (Mix/Osc 1 needs to be half the volume of Mix/Osc 2) and the Envelope's short Decay, as well as the relationship of the Filter's Cutoff and Peak knobs (both at about half way) as they are modulated by the Sequenced Random bit.

I also discovered that if you touch the "Trigger In" of the Envelope with your finger, you can modulate the sound further (as long as there is also a cable in the Speaker's Output jack) by opening up the Decay each time you touch the connector.

Diagram of the signal chain is shown at the end of the video."
