Yamaha Reface CP and CS Demo Test Videos by TheSynthFreq

Published on Dec 7, 2015 TheSynthFreq

"HI!

After some time since creating our last videos here on youtube, we have returned to show some amazing new Yamaha synths. The Yamaha Reface CP and the Yamaha Reface CS. Here at our studio we just love these synths for what they can do. I will be creating new videos often showing the details of these synths, the sounds, modifiers and everything about the keyed and other features present in these synths.

After seeing the Yamaha Reface synths for the first time in September at KnobCon held by STG sound labs, we just couldn't put these synths down. In fact at the convention we kept visiting the Yamaha booth and playing these Reface synths and visiting with Yamaha about their new product. After playing these synths for the first time, my mind was changed on what the exterior of the synths said, and let the synth's sounds do the talking!

If you like what you see here, the Yamaha Reface synths (CS,CP,YS,DX) can be found at www.yamahasynth.com

if you like portable synths with a great sound and features, these new synths are just the keys to meet the need!

Please enjoy!
TSF"

Yamaha Reface CP and CS demo test video 2 (80s)

"test video 2 Yamaha CP and CS demo video improvisation.
Yamaha Reface 80s improvisation.
Here at our studio we have been working with the new Yamaha CP and CS synthesizers and working on incorporating these new synths into our composition style. So far we have been very pleased with these new synths and really have been impressed with how flexible these synths sounds are and how many endless options for sound creation there really is with the seemingly small number of options at first glance. The sounds are really well created with these synths and I think we will keep these synths around for a while. :)
Great work Yamaha!

please enjoy the 80s vibe!

"Syncing sequencers, arpeggiators and more on the DSI Pro 2 and Moog Sub 37, then sending clock-synced CV step sequences and LFOs from the Pro 2 to the Sub 37. On top of that, we have the Eventide H9 and the Patterning drum app (both clock-synced). Just scratching the surface and exploring a bit. There are worlds to discover with a setup like this.

Custom Purple Synthesizers.com Modular System

via this auction

via the seller: "Created in 2006 as a CUSTOM order by the incomparable Roger Arrick of Synthesizers.com fame, this unique Full Modular System (with Extras) has served me well. I've used it on 4 albums and have never had one single problem with any part of it. It is so well designed and constructed you come to understand why Synthesizers.com (DOTCOM) systems and modules have the reputation that they do. This is a one-off project by Roger and will never be repeated. It's cool purple module faceplates and bright BLUE LEDS (as opposed to the standard red) are eye-catchers and I always get people coming up to me and asking me about it when I've used it live. The modules are all in near-MINT cosmetic condition and the only marks on the system at all are a couple tiny nicks in the Tolex covering which I have repaired. These of course do not affect the operation of the electronics whatsoever. I'm selling it with Thirty (30) assorted 1/4-inch patch cords. And there are also TWO extra modules also with the purple faceplate: a Q109 Envelope Generator and a Q108 Voltage Controlled Amplifier. It is MIDI enables so any MIDI Keyboard will work with it. I've even triggered it with my StudioLogic Bass Pedals controller."

Note a different layout purple synthesizers.com system was previously posted here back in 2009. that one was custom made in 2002 according to the listing.

"This model D sounds great and is in superb condition, has the 2nd revision oscillator board. Was calibrated and tuned recently, all the wood paneling is in good shape.
Unfortunately some of the pots are needing serviced most work fine but some cut out at certain points on the dial, after using the synth for 3 hours recently they did start to improve, so I assume the tracks in them are just dirty, this has to be taken in to consideration before purchase. Note not all of them need cleaning most noticeable is the 2nd oscillator volume, mod wheel and the filter, many of the pots work fine."

The title of this post is from the eBay auction, not me, but yeah, this would be a pretty nice present.

"All Keys work, all voices sound, all sliders and pots function, and the ribbon controller is fully functional. It is in the process of being calibrated and tuned. This is a fairly tedious process, but i feel that it should be as close as possible to 100%. At the moment, a couple of the presets have a volume drop, but the calibration process should remedy that. I will include print outs of the user manual, service manual, board layouts with board schematics, and a poster sized overall schematic."

Blowstudio Hornet and Hornet Pro - Introduction

Published on Nov 11, 2015 blowstudiouk

Blowstudio Hornet Walkthrough


"Get yours and please support the crowdfunder!
http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/blowstud...
The Hornet and Hornet Pro are intuitive and playable digital theremins perfect for noise artists, improvising musicians and anyone interested in sound or performance."

Some additional info from the crowdfunder page:

"The Hornet is a synthesizer with gestural control. Every Hornet has a voice switch and a mode switch, as well as speed and decay controls, to give you loads of sounds to explore.

Its a kind of theremin - a musical instrument that you play by moving your hand above it in space. The Hornet uses the same method of gestural control as the original Theremin, an instrument designed by Russian inventor Lev Termen in the early 1900s. However the Hornet is digital and updates the idea with many more sound options and possibilities.

Hornet also comes in a Pro version, which adds CV/Gate inputs so you can control it from your analog sequencer and sync it to your computer as seen in the main video. You can control pitch, note length and speed, and temporarily override your sequence at any time by turning the speed dial or putting your hand in the sensor beam."

The arpeggio runs as a MIDI files but most of the other tracks are hand played in real time. Apart from the Elka organs EP-8 and X-1000 I use Technics SX-C600 organ and Roland SH-2000 synthesizer."

"Using the Soundmachines LP1 Lightplane as a control source to play melodies and loops. X axis controls pitch (via a quantiser), Y axis controls timbre (by wavefolding), Z axis controls vibrato (by opening a VCA to let an LFO modulate pitch), and gate goes through an ASR envelope with quick attack and decay to open another VCA, thus defining the notes."
