Volca Keys, Microbrute, Minitaur, Roland CMU810


Published on Mar 20, 2015 DreamsOfWires

"This is a rough re-recording of something I originally uploaded to my 'tomorrowthecure' channel more than 5 years ago. I was just playing around with it to see if I could do a more simplistic version (the original was sequenced and entirely software and samples).
It was recorded in 2 parts because of the sound changes. The Volca is using it's own sequencer, and is in polyphonic mode for the main part if the recording. I'm using an iConnectMidi4+ to link the 2 USB Korg keyboards to the Minitaur, and a Kenton Pro Solo 2 to drive the CMU810. The Minitaur is running through an old EHX Small Stone phaser. Reverb is from an old Lexicon plugin."

OPUS soviet synthesyzer


Published on Mar 20, 2015 Strangesoundful

Here's an interesting bit of synth history. I believe this is the first time this version of the OPUS polyphonic soviet synthesizer has been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH. You can see another version, minus the yellow and different style knobs, in this post and this post.

"'Opus' was produced at the Riga musical instruments factory.
The instrument consists of 4 sections: piano, that synthesizes piano's soundings of 3 timbres, string organ, that plays organ's sounding with soft attack and with the possibility to control release, with the pereodically repeated beat-fading sounds. There is a bass section, that is controlled by 2 lower octaves, that contain three 8' and two 16' registers. It plays sounding of the bass drum."

Nova Musik - Roland JD-Xi Crossover Synthesizer with Scott Tibbs


Published on Mar 20, 2015 Nova Musik

"Check out great deals on the Roland JD-Xi at Nova Musik:
http://www.novamusik.com/instruments/...

Scott Tibbs gives us an overview of the Roland JD-Xi Interactive Analog/Digital Crossover Synthesizer.

Equipped with 37 mini keys, the JD-Xi features a true analog synth engine along with a wide selection of Roland’s SuperNATURAL digital sounds. This affordable instrument also comes packed with many great extras for self-contained music creation, including built-in drum kits, a four-track pattern sequencer and a gooseneck mic for using the synth’s vocoder and AutoPitch effects.

Thanks to its unique crossover sound engine, the JD-Xi gives musicians the best of both worlds: the warm, smooth response of classic analog, and the clarity and versatility of modern digital. In one keyboard, players can enjoy fat, warm analog bass and lead tones with ample controls for hands-on tweaking, plus polyphonic PCM essentials like electric piano, brass, guitar, and many others.

The newly developed analog synth section in the JD-Xi features saw, triangle and square waveforms with pulse width modulation and an analog filter, plus an independent sub-oscillator for low-end power. Two digital synth sections offer 128-voice polyphony and a wide range of SuperNATURAL-based PCM tones for playing any style of music. Sounds can be enhanced with the JD-Xi’s effects section, which includes delay, reverb, and processing options such as Bit Crusher, Slicer, Ring Mod and others.

The JD-Xi comes with a sturdy, high-quality gooseneck mic and onboard vocal effects. With the vocoder, users can sing into the mic and control the tone and pitch via sounds played on the keyboard. AutoPitch makes it simple to achieve the 'robotic' vocal sounds common in today’s pop and electronic music styles, while the cool Auto Note function provides the ability to 'sing' JD-Xi synth sounds without touching the keyboard.

Using the built-in pattern sequencer, it’s possible to create and perform sophisticated music with only the JD-Xi. Four separate tracks—two digital synth parts, analog synth, and drums—make it easy to build rich-sounding loops. Real-time and step recording modes are provided, along with a special TR-REC mode for programming in the style of Roland’s classic TR-series beatboxes. Patterns can be queued up and manipulated while playing the keyboard, and many preset patterns are included for jamming right out of the box.

The dynamic drum kits in the JD-Xi offer high-quality rhythm tones to support any groove. Included are many types of electronic and acoustic kits, and the drum instrument assignments are conveniently labeled above the keys for quick identification. Users can modify the sound of the kits with filter, envelope, pitch and pan parameters.

Supporting both MIDI and audio over USB, musicians can use the JD-Xi with their favorite computer music applications. USB also provides the ability to access a growing collection of free JD-Xi patches programmed by top engineers and artists, which are available at Roland’s Axial sound library site.

Featuring red and black styling to match the synth, the optional CB-JDXi gig bag provides a convenient way to carry the JD-Xi and its gooseneck mic along with cables and other accessories."

KiNK with Roland MX-1, MFB 522 and Tom 1501


Published on Mar 20, 2015 kink303

"Here im using the Roland MX-1 digital mixer with analog gear, MFB 522 for drums and the rare Russian analog poly synth Tom 1501. The keyboard doesnt have any sequencing functions, memory or effects, so I`m animating the sound entirely with the MX-1. In order to have sustained sounds, I stick the keys with tape or just play them by hands. The slicing / pitching pattern in MX-1 was programmed before shooting the video. I didn`t programmed it during the session, just because I got that groove going, before i press record. I liked it so much and I decided to keep it for the video. I hope you like it too"
