ROLAND JD-XA // Factory Presets // Bank C // PADS


Published on Sep 22, 2015 LESINDES

"Testing the presets of brandnew ROLAND JD-XA. BANK C: PADS.

Using arpeggios and preset sequences if there are any preprogrammed. Tweaking occasionally. JD-XA does not contain any drum kits as its smaller and cheaper sibling is providing. If there are any drums to be heard they're mostly programmed from scratch with the internal sound engines -- both digital and analog.

More thoughts about the synth:
Many options. But it is a little bit the JD800 problem: the basic sound is quickly edited but the fine tuning takes hours because you have to step thru hundreds of parameters in a 2-line-display (without dial!!!).

No computer editor!

The sequencer is almost the same as in JD-Xi with the same flaws. It crashes frequently and it DOES NOT TRANSPOSE! I hope Roland will fix and implement this with the next update.

About the integration of digital and analog section: The routing is a bit confusing to me but once you managed to lea a digital sound through the analog section it sounds very nice. The digital waves are also well chosen and sounding. For understanding the concept: There are two synths -- one digital, one analog -- that only share the housing and the FX. As a consequence you cannot choose a digital waveform in your analog synth you can only lead a complete sound of the digital machine through the analog section for sound enhancement.

But all in all it is a versatile well sounding synth!"

"Vintage digisound 24 Module Synthesizer
British company Digisound modules are affordable, innovative, well designed, and sound great. Digisound's own printed circuit boards are in this wooden box enclosures. Some are cream-coloured metal front plate individually cut and hand-labelled and some are white.

The Tolex covered case was built by the late Kevin Louis Lightner of the website synthfool.com. Most of the modules are built off the Curtis chip architecture from Curtis Electromusic Specialties.

The solid state reverb unit (Module 80-17 Reverberation) works off a 3328-stage bucket brigade set of chips to produce a useful reverberation time of about 3 seconds.

The VCF module labeled MOOG is built off the MOOG ladder filter.

The two 80-5 Processor modules are not multi patch panels but are quazy quad panners.

The VCDO is a fixed wave table with voltage control.

There are 11 manuals that explain some of the modules. In the manuals are schematic diagrams to help understand the components used in the build design and component part lists.

List of the manuals:
80-2 Voltage Controlled Oscillator Module
80-3 V.C. Low Frequency Oscillator Module
80-4 Voltage Controlled Mixer Module
80-5 Processor Module
80-7A V.C. State Variable (multimode) Filter Module
the 80-7A State-Variable Filter, featured optional 12 or 24dB operation for low-, high- or band-pass filtering, plus a notch (band-reject) filter. This is a very versatile module, its band-pass mode being my personal favorite.
80-9 Dual Voltage Controlled Amplifier Module
80-11A Dual Ring Modulator Module
80-13 External Input Module
80-16 Dual Resonant Filters Module
80-17 Reverberation Module
80-23 Quad Low Frequency Oscillator Module

Atheus hand made Drone synthesizer.


Published on Sep 21, 2015 darkpoem9

One off drone synth from Atheus: "The electronic schematic is based on my trial and error! Basically it's six oscillators that interact with each other, and when you turn the pot near 3/4, distortion get on (they are connected to an opamp + cap). Finally you have a LPF and Resonance filter. As a sound artist I just want to share this 'Drone/synth' with our community."

"It turns on all the tests pass there is a slight crack on the side. The sounds work but after a bit of it being turned on it changes the sound without me wanting to. I am not the orignal owner. I did by it in a studio in New york about 5 years ago. only Used it 6 times. I heard it can be the battery but i do not have time to deal with it."

DIY Modular
Noise! oscillator
Noise! is based on CMOS logic IC's.
The oscillator has four square wave generators that are gestuurt by klokdivider.
Thereafter, the different clock outputs are mixed and deformed to a semi tri-wave.
The result is Noise! But also evolving weird bleeps and creaks.
The synth is expandable to a modular system, where all the clock outputs can be patched to each other.
