KORG PROPHECY 【SYNTH DEMO】 - Favorite Patches / Walkthrough Part 2

Published on Oct 21, 2014 David Hobson

"KORG PROPHECY Synth Demo, Part 2 of a 2 Part video series on my favorite patches, and a 'walkthrough.' of programming changes. Be sure to watch for a Part 2 of a deeper video series on programming soon to follow.

I will provide a download link, upon request, to the Korg Prophecy Parameter Guide & The MOSS-TRI User's Guide, which is the manual for the Prophecy board for the Korg Trinity "Plus"...not the V3 Z1 MOSS-TRI Board (they are different synths):

The KORG PROPHECY was among the first 'Virtual Analog' synthesizers from the mid to late 90s, and is one of my favorite synths due to it's truly extensive architecture. It remains one of the more complex and unique sounding 'Physical Modeling' Synthesizers ever made."

"The GliGli OS upgrade adds the following:
-Greater resolution of many of the sound parameters with an improved refresh rate
that is making the instrument much more responsive.
-Faster, smoother amplifier and filter envelope generators supporting four different
modes:
1. Fast Linear
2. Slow Linear
3. Fast Exponential
4. Slow Exponential
- A new LFO function generator with a wider range from one cycle every <20 data-blogger-escaped-seconds=""> to about 60Hz with four new waveforms in addition to the original triangle and square including sine, random stepped, noise (like on the original Prophet 5, but non- periodic) and sawtooth (ramp up)
-Multiple keyboard modes including:
1. Poly first note priority
2. Unison (all voice) Hi-key priority
3. Unison (all voice) Low-key priority
4. Solo (one voice) Hi-key priority
5. Solo (one voice) Low-key priority
-Mix Overdrive which now allows the output from both oscillators to drive the mix
VCAs A and B harder as well as the Curtis 4 pole filter resulting in new sonic
possibilities.
-Pitch Wheel interval selection of plus/minus one octave, a minor third and a fifth
-Pitch Wheel reassignment to the VCF and Volume or off
-Modulation wheel intensity setting from Maximum to Medium to Minimum
-Full Midi In control including:
1. Amp and Filter velocity sensitivity with an external keyboard controller
2. Continuous Controllers (CC) of all sound parameters
3. Program change (PC) to choose current preset
-A new and improved tuning procedure
-Chromatic and free Oscillator course pitch control
-Plus/Minus setting for Oscillator Fine Tune and Filter Envelope amount for Poly Mod
and Filter
-Assignable, Random And Up/Down Arpeggiator
-Debounce feature that prevents unintended retriggering caused by the old keyboard
Included in the listing is the Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 as pictured."

Steffcorp - ARP 2600 Eurorack Modules by Rickard Steffensen

It looks like have a new eurorack manufacturer in town, Steffcorp from Rickard Steffensen (see the Steffensen channel for previous posts).   Steffcorp appears to be the new official branding for his work.  According to the about page Steffcorp will initially focus on ARP 2600 modules in eurorack format.

"After passionately working with synthesisers for over 20 years, doing both music and a lot of sound-design, i started a journey 2 years ago recreating my favourite synthesiser of all time – the ARP 2600.

As the eurorack format seemed to have the most to offer, and having worked with software/DSP modular’s for quite some time, i soon realised this was the format of my choice rather than locking myself in to a closed structure. Nothing wrong with that obviously (!), just not my kind of thing...

I am now working hard on getting a full voice of 2600 modules out the door, followed by other even older designs that deserves to be revived!"

The following is their current line-up:

VCF 2612

"This is a clone of the 4012 VCF used in the ARP 2600.
Other than some substituted parts and a “sandwich-layout” mainly adjusted for the eurorack standard, I have tried to keep all the original quirks as close to the original as possible.

The 'sandwich-layout' simply means the VCF is split in 2x PCB’s mounted in parallel on top of each other.
The Core-PCB contains the main circuit, while the Control-PCB contains the controlling elements as well as the buffers."

Oscillarp – VCO

"This is a eurorack-clone of the 4027-1 VCO used in the ARP 2600.
Other than some needed part substitutes, removal of low-frequency option, added hard sync and a “sandwich-layout” adjusted mainly for eurorack, I have stuck with keeping it as close to the original as possible.
This means it will retain all the original quirks of the 4027-1, which also enhances the personality of the oscillator.

The 'sandwich-layout' simply means the VCO is split in 2x PCB’s mounted in parallel on top of each other.
The Core-PCB contains the main circuit, while the Control-PCB contains the controlling elements as well as the buffers."

Envelarp – ADSR/AR

"This is a eurorack-clone of the 4020 ADSR/AR used in the ARP 2600.
Other than some substituted parts, an added comparator on the input and a layout mainly adjusted for the eurorack standard, I have tried to keep all the original quirks as close to the original as possible.

Sometimes less options is a good thing. Sometimes you want good results fast.
This is where the Envelarp comes in. With it’s down-to-the-point controls, it can quickly help you dial in your needs without getting stuck in options.

From smacky snappiness to the softest swell, it does all this with ease.
However, even with its “limited” controls, it still offers a great deal of experimentation if you wish.
With a separate input for Gate and Trig, one can create some very interesting results. Especially combined with various Gate lengths."

Arplifier – VCA

"This is a eurorack-clone of the 4019 VCA used in the ARP 2600.
Other than some substituted parts and a “sandwich-layout” mainly adjusted for the eurorack standard, I have tried to keep everything it as close to the original as possible.

The “sandwich-layout” simply means the VCA is split in 2x PCB’s mounted in parallel on top of each other.
The Core-PCB contains the main circuit, while the Control-PCB contains the controlling elements."

The original score was composed by Adam Gilmore from Media Sorcery for the "Simon the Sorcerer" point and click adventure computer game, made by Adventure Soft.

TR8060 clone TR808 - first tests

Published on Oct 21, 2014 pifgadget23

"Expérimentations des noises sur les hats."

This is the first TR8060 post on the site. Some details via http://www.christian-hartig.de/TR-8060/:

"The TR-8060 is a DIY drum synthesizer which combines the sounds of the well known TR-808 and TR-606, based on the original circuit layouts from Roland. With many modification possibilities this machine can even sound like a CR-68 or TR-77 machine... analog lovers welcome ;-)

I have made a compact PCB based on the great work of microLARGE (Thank you man!)

What you need: just some resistors, caps, transistors, diodes, potentiometers, switches and some time on your hand :-)
I can tell you: If everything went right it will sound really great and what’s more important: it’s possible to build your own machine for under 350 euro!
This machine has no sequencer but you can add your own sequencer or MIDI to trigger converter or whatever you want! There are +5V trigger inputs plus accent trigger inputs for each instrument on the PCB.

The latest version 1.1.6 of the TR-8060 PCB has MIDI circuits onboard! I think this will make it more suitable for everyone... for example if you plan to put it in a 19 inch rackmount housing.
in this case the kits will come with a pre-programmed PIC.
The first PCBs are in production and once they’re good, we can start mass-production :-)
Yay!

You can play with values of polyester- and electrolytic caps, with other resistors or other potentiometers to give your machine your own unique sound. It’s pure analog and pretty stable, so play with it :)"

Trance Gate by Legacy Synth & Electribe ES-1

"ElectribeのAudio Inパートを通せば、アルペジエーターなどの機能の無い古いシンセやCasioTon­eなどで、Trance Gateのような雰囲気になるみたいなので、実験。Gate Stepはパッド部分で、Gate LengthはPitch / Speedつまみで調整。ポイントはAudio In パートとAccentを同じにしておく（もしくは全部のパッドをAccent Onにしちゃっておく）ことと、音色に合わせてGate Lengthをいい感じになるよう、微調整するところでしょうか。
サンプル曲が何だかどうしようもない気もしますが、パートエフェクトも効くので、しょ­っぼいシンセでも、ホラもう大丈夫！あとは腕の問題だね！（一番難しい...）"

"A few demo sounds processed by the 1280. Very high end lush sounding digital delay with high end analog components pre amps etc. which gives it a gorgeous sound. 1280s usually known for live use or mastering use - however if you patch the output back into the input or integrate into send and return on a desk or your DAW you can use as a traditional delay - infact you get some of the sound of the 2290 for a whole lot less money.
