Laurentide SynthWorks VG2 Demo

VG2 Demo from Laurentide SynthWorks on Vimeo.

"VG2 is a Dual Passive Vactrol Gate. No power needed! Each Vactrol Gate has 1 CV Input (gate, envelope, LFO, etc.), 1 Audio Input and 1 Audio Output. The CV Input hits the Vactrol LED, allowing audio to pass through. In addition, there is a simple Low Pass Filter applied to the Audio Input with an Amount (Cutoff) knob. As this is a passive circuit, it will not give you full cutoff control, but it does allow the taming of harsh waveshapes. The LPF is simply the same concept as a guitar's 'tone' control. Also, there is an LED at the CV Input for quick visual reference and LED light action!"

Hyve Touch Synthesizer Demo

IEEE-UIUC Hyve Synthesizer Demonstration Published on Mar 15, 2015

There's a workshop coming up on April 2 at the University of Illinois where you can build your own Hyve. Details here (previously posted here). The Hyve is Scok Wiedmann's latest creation. He was the man behind the amazing star shaped modular featured at the 2009 NAMM show and Motus Mavis.

"This video is a demo of the Hyve Synthesizer, a really cool audio electronic project developed (and explained) by Skot Wiedmann."

Audiothingies P6 Virtual Analogue Hardware Synthesizer Demo

Published on Mar 15, 2015 OwenJ1971

"My first 120 patches, programmed from scratch, showing the variety of sound which this synthesizer is capable of. Built in effects only, no compression or EQ applied, recorded to a Zoom H2n.
Running OS 1.04

If you're looking for a virtual or real analogue polysynth you should take a look at this machine - it sounds better to me than a lot of real analogues I've played. Intuitive and easy to use, and only 175-199 € for the kit or 299 € pre-built (if you're not into soldering).

6 voices, 2 oscillators plus flexible sub oscillator, multi mode filter (4 pole and 2 pole lowpass plus 2 pole hpf and bpf), flexible modulation matrix, 3 midi syncable lfos, 3 envelopes, well appointed arpeggiator, oscillator sync and ring mod, 256 user memories.

Strong points: really nice ladder filter which allows you to turn up the resonance without losing the body/bass end of the sound. The filter is very flexible and musical, and works well for squidgy wet acid, deep self-oscillating pads and strong basses.
The envelopes are particularly nice, fast and snappy with a perfect exponential curve, perfect for percussion and bass.
Very well designed and easy to use operating system.
Sounds like a really good analogue synth, I would expect to pay a lot more for this kind of sound quality.

Electro ditty with DX7, RX5, and DVP-1

Published on Mar 15, 2015 SynthMania

"Sure, I could use the 'classic' machines like TR-808 and analog synths (that I do have) to make some Electro, but tonight I thought, why not make an attempt at recreating that early/mid-1980s vibe with all-digital instruments instead? So I grabbed the Yamaha DX7, Yamaha RX5, and Korg DVP-1, quickly hooked up a Shure SM57, and came up with this Electro style ditty :)"

As this is a passive circuit, it is advisable to use a Buffered Multiple before the Audio Input to maintain amplitude.”

"The filter is one of it's greatest qualities, similar to Moog. It's sine wave is pretty amazing as well and can be a saw and or mixed with a pulse width adjustable square. Those two and another noise volume give you a full sound not to mention adjustable and lfo modulated pulse width. There's an adsr for the filter and another for the vca and the a repeat function of the vca adsr is very unique and can bee seen in the demonstration video. Too much to mention with such a little number of knobs and buttons..."

http://bigcitymusic.com/

"The Sputnik Quad Function and Trigger Source envelopes are set to self cycle. The Pulse output of Envelope 1 is triggering the Quantized Random Voltage of the Sputnik West Coast Random Source. The Quantized Random voltage is controlling the decay time of Envelope 2. The Pulse output of Envelope 2 is routed to the Pulse input of the Random Source S&H, which is modulating the attack time of Env 1."

YAMAHA TQ5 Tone Generator / FM Synthesizer

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

via this auction

Factory presets demo video posted here.

"The TQ5 was an entry level FM Workstation in a keyboardless, sparsely decorated desktop unit. It takes after the smaller line of FM synthesizers like the DX-100, DX-21, DX-11, TX81Z, and FB-01. These featured 4 FM operators per voice, and 8 voices of polyphony. And like the latter three, 8-parts multitimbrality was featured. The TQ5 also had easy "Quick Edit" keys to access some basic parameters for instant tweaks. The TQ5 was capable of many of the good, the strange & the weird sounds FM synthesizers made.

The TQ5 featured built-in digital effects and an 8-track sequencer (with 8 song capacity) rounding out the "workstation" aspect of this machine. Designed for use as a stand-alone FM workstation or as a MIDI module, the TQ5 was poised to bring high-end FM sounds to entry-level users."

Oberheim Matrix 6 Analog Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"Oberheim Matrix 6. One of the best sounding DCO analog synth, based on the cem3396. The only relations to "digital" in this that it is stable, all the other aspects of sound just full of pure analog power. The sound is organic, round and full, with very pleasant resonanse textures. It has very playable, solid keyboard, with velocity and aftertouch. There is split mode, when you can chose split point on the keyboard, and link two different sounds to lower and upper zones. Or you can just overlap to different sounds among all keyboard. It is possible to drive lower and upper zones from different midi channels, so the synth is bitimbral with 6 voice polyfony. The modulation matrix allow to get really broad field of sounds."
