New Kilpatrick Audio CARBON Sequencer - Sneak Peak


Published on Oct 29, 2015 KilpatrickAudio

"Here is a quick demonstration of the CARBON Sequencer and Performance System from Kilpatrick Audio! This video shows a few of the real-time recording and performance function.

MIDI is being sent from CARBON to a PHENOL, Juno-2, D-550 and Machinedrum on each of four tracks."

Published on Oct 29, 2015 alternatingbitmusic

"First night with this unit. I owned the original 106 many years ago and found the JU-06 to be an affordable and compact way to still experience the classic synth. Some slight reverb/delay added for texture plus some percussion via a Korg EMX-1."

BWV 1067: Menuet on Analog Synthesizer


Published on Apr 25, 2013 StrangeQuarkStar

"Menuet from BWV 1067 played on an analog synthesizer I designed and built in University.
Multitracked with the same settings on both tracks, played by hand in two takes. Simple piano arrangement. No effects, straight into mixer, panned left and right hand."

Update: I reached out to StrangeQuarkStar for more info on his synth. Here's what he had to say:

"This synth is a project I did for an undergrad electronics course back in 2010. The idea was to build a completely analog synthesizer using mostly discrete components (a timer chip here and there), but with a new kind of digital parameter memory which I won't go into here just yet ;)

It's basically the classic monophonic synth architecture with two VCOs (Saw, Triangle and PWM; you can sync them), one LFO with adjustable waveshape (Ramp -> Tri -> Saw), a resonant 12dB/octave state-variable VCF (low-, band-, highpass), a VCA that's always a bit overdriven and two ADSR envelopes. The filter's envelope and the LFO can be routed to individual fine-tuning and PWM of the VCOs and the filter cutoff frequency, all at once and to different degrees.

The digital part converts MIDI to the appropriate control voltages for the individual components (note on/off, pitch bend and modulation) and is designed to keep track of all the patch parameters. The last module in the sound chain is a digital delay with a simple, adjustable analog filter. The audio signal chain stays completely analog if the delay mix is at zero.

The synth can be controlled via external MIDI or with the built-in digital 16-step sequencer and mini-keyboard on top of it.

All digital parts of the synthesizer are 100% my own design and built around Atmel ATmega processors. The more complicated analog modules (VCO, VCF, VCA) were largely adapted from designs found on birthofasynth.com, so no direct replicas of any well-known synths. We tried to keep the complexity and cost to an absolute minimum, which is why we also bought only the cheapest components we could get.

I led a team of five people and we all developed the schematics, PCB artwork and bills of material mostly from scratch. The faculty's workshop just etched the PCBs and we had to drill every single hole for all the components to solder in. The main digital board alone had over 1000 holes!

The whole thing took one semester from conception to presentation. It was the most fun I ever had in University!"

Chopin: Préludes Op. 28, № 4 on DSI Prophet '08


Published on Oct 6, 2015 StrangeQuarkStar

"Chopin's Préludes Op. 28, № 4 played on the DSI Prophet '08 analog polyphonic synthesizer. Sound design inspired by 'Continuum' from the FEZ soundtrack by Disasterpeace (Rich Vreeland).

No effects aside from Lexicon MX300 reverberation; straight recording from mixer into Logic with no further editing."

Sarabande on Prophet '08 and MS-20 mini Synthesizers (Bach French Suite BWV 813, № 2)

Published on Sep 25, 2014

"The Sarabande from J. S. Bach's second French Suite (BWV 813, № 2) played on the DSI Prophet '08 and Korg MS-20 mini analog synthesizers.

To play comfortably I connected the Prophet via MIDI to the MS-20 and turned local control off, using another keyboard (my DX-7 II's) to play the Prophet. So the top keyboard plays the MS-20 and the bottom one the Prophet '08.

Usual effects provided by the Maxon AD-900 analog delay (only on MS-20) and the Lexicon MX-300 (reverberation for both instruments).

Everything played live as you see it here; plain recording straight from my mixer/interface into Logic as 96kHz / 24 bit audio.

Full audio quality available on my SoundCloud page, as always."

In The Air Tonight (Synth Intro Cover)


Published on Jan 25, 2015 StrangeQuarkStar

"A cover of the first minute of one of my very favourite songs using the KORG Volca Beats and MS-20 mini, as well as the DSI Prophet '08.

Effects used: Maxon analog delay, Lexicon reverb and just a touch of EQ on the Prophet. Direct live recording from the mixer's main out; no further manipulation except for fading out."

Short but definitely well done.

Prophet '08 Sound Demo: Laser Harp


Published on Oct 17, 2015 StrangeQuarkStar

"A Laser Harp patch on the DSI Prophet '08, used to play the first part of Jean Michel Jarre's Third Rendez-vous.

No effects aside from Lexicon MX-300 reverberation, recorded directly from the mixer's 24-bit interface into Logic."

Tutorial: Laser Harp on Prophet '08!

Published on Oct 18, 2015

"The classic Laser Harp sound, approximated on the DSI Prophet '08 in a step-by-step tutorial. For those of us not fortunate enough to own an original Elka Synthex.

Just add a good reverb (Lexicon MX-300 used here), no other effects needed. Have fun!"

ST4 tracker jam


Published on Oct 29, 2015 Pieter van der Meer

"STU jamming on the ST4 using the onboard tracker!
http://www.tastychips.nl/st4
http://stu.atari.org"

"For those of you not in the know, the ST4 is a multi-channel synth that specializes in rhythm. It’s a hybrid digital/analog system that offers direct control over each track and has a powerful built-in step sequencer. It can do sampling with its on-board mic or from an external source. Samples can be manipulated into arbitrary waveforms, but also standard saw, square and sine waveforms may be used. Noise generators, a wealth of envelopes and per-channel multi-mode filters allow for powerful percussive sculpting.

Our goal is to make this as much a stand-alone system as possible. There’s the usual MIDI connectivity, but there’s also the built-in step sequencer on a large display with full USB keyboard and mass storage support. This makes the ST4 a unique device and as much a studio work horse as something you can take along to your friends or use on stage. The analog VCFs and VCAs give it a warm finish. It’s a Tasty Chips synth: high character and fun to use. :)"

"I bought this synth in a pawn shop in Florida. I tested it out in the shop and it sounded really good. I took it home and put it in storage for about 10 years and now it does not work. When you plug it in there is a loud hum and no notes when keys are pressed. I do not have an interest in repairing this so I am selling it for parts or as a fixer-upper project. It is "as is".

The name plate is mostly rubbed off and the knobs are kinda dinged up but the wood and the plate with the knobs on it are in good shape. The power cord has a break in the insulation but it does power up.

The serial number is 1000-1881. You can research what rev. # it is from that.

It does not have midi. The last 5 keys on the right end are a little uneven."
