Something New Coming from Tabor



"Tabor, bringing everyone to music with wearables..."

http://www.tabor.io

Two hints I can share:

MIDI and Bluetooth.

This should be interesting, and something many have been waiting for.

The Melting Thought


Published on Jan 5, 2016 John L Rice

"This is just more of the same patch from my previous video 'One Half Of One Million' [here] with some tweeks/changes and additional modules patched in like a SSL Scat-Talker, Moon Modular 569 sequencer, Modcan 69B scanner, Happy Nerding FM AIDs and Synth Tech MOTM-101 noise source. Of course, more digital Mellotron noodling."

DNA Symbiotic Waves


Published on Jan 5, 2016 drumasaurusrex

"This modular jam features voicing that is accomplished entirely by the Pittsburgh Modular DNA Symbiotic Waves. All three outputs from the DNA-SW are routed to a 6 channel mixer (Blue Lantern Sir Mixalot). One set of the three channels are run through three separate low-pass gates (two channels of Optomix and one passivac). The rhythmic gates are provided by the Time Runner and the Intellijel Plog processing logic of Time Runner gates and feeding back into the TR logic input. Whole shebang is routed out through Synthrotek Eko."

This one needs work, but the cat gets the post. Pics of the inside (the synth) below.

"As is no returns no exchanges no refunds. Vintage electronics needs cleaning,restoration and calibration. Not fully working. VCO 1 FUND & VCO 2 FUND & OCT do not appear to make a sound. Noise and VCO 1 OCT appear to function and all other controls have an effect on the sound. All keys sound but will need cleaning. No battery is in the unit and i am unsure if the PROGRAM section will store/retrieve your 8 personal presets.

Cat NOT INCLUDED. ;)
My favorite monosynth of all time. Your chance to get one cheap and repair yourself or get a trustworthy tech. "

Another Waldorf NAMM Teaser: The Cheese Speaking Vocoder?


Another via sequencer.de.

OK, now it's just getting silly, or dare we say... cheesy? Teasers of the teaser.  Nice Cheeze knob.   There's also a "mauldunst" labeled one below.

"Sprechkäse (talking cheese)
makes not even sense in German, but..

White noise generator
Pulse oscillator (0-1 khz).
16 Filters
14 x 6th order active bandpass
1 x lowpass
1 x highpass
16 Envelope followers and modulators.

looks like some1 had real fun! ;) we start not to believe it or some1 wants to confuse us and think.. noooo, that’s not real.. huh?

sprechkaese

since you can so more nonsense with it..
is that an anagram? ask your german friends – this isn’t even a name, it’s just something you might want to clean your teeth after.."

New NAMM Rumor: Waldorf Kassettenspieler Desktop Tape Loop Synthesizer Coming to NAMM?


Spotted this one on sequencer.de. This is of course only a rumor at this point, but you never know. Waldorf of did release the Streichfett desktop string synthesizer, as well as the Zarenbourg electric piano, so a mellotronesque desktop synth wouldn't be all that far-fetched.

"Waldorf 'Kassettenspieler'

Tapeloop Synthesizer
inspired by the legendary sounds of tape machines
Upload any kind of samples
– ARM Processor
– Analog Multimode Filter
– 128 GB Internal Flash Memory
– Stereo Output
– USB connection for transferring samples
– MIDI In and Out
– Software Editor for samples
– Digital FX section with Reverb/Phaser from Streichfett plus Tape Delay and Vacuum Distortion emulation
– 12 Memory Location (same as Streichfett)

as you can see it is more like a sampler than based on a tape – it has real memory so it is a simple sampler based on entry level processor kit – we don’t know if this is for real or not. but here’s some images, that look like something of a truth might be in there..?"

What do you all think?

Side note: remember to see the NAMM2016 channel at the bottom of this post for everything that has come in so far!

Axoloti SH-101 style sequencer


Published on Jan 5, 2016 chaosmoon

"A simple standalone midi sequencer inspired by the SH-101. The volum slider on the midi keyboard (hosted via USB by the Axoloti) puts the sequencer in record or playback mode. In record mode it memorizes notes input by the keyboard. Once put back into playback mode it will cycle through the notes, triggered by incoming midi notes; In this case a silent drum track on the Korg ER-1. The outgoing midi notes are sent to the Mutable Instruments Shruthi. I have a newer version of the sequencer in the pipeline with 8 memories. Eventually i'll make a version that can easily be combined with onboard synths made on the Axoloti."

New Axcore Experimental Hardware Synthesizer from Synth-Project in the Works


Mario from Synth-Project, known for his knob-laden custom hardware controllers for various software based synths, is working on a new stand alone synth, the Axcore Experimental Synthesizer. What makes this different, is the hardware will actually host the synth engine running Axoloti. This will be a stand alone synthesizer, not just a controller. No word if this will be a one-off production, like his other controllers.

This one in via MATRIXSYNTH reader, Electronic Battle.

via the Axoloti forums:

"Hi,

after playing around with the Axcore, I've made the decision to build a case/cabinet around it. I want my own standalone Synthesizer.

You can see the current state here, if you like. Also a Sound example.

4 Voice Studio Electronics Omega-8 Poly Synthesizer SN 1316

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

via this auction

"4 voices, and an additional 4 voices can be installed (not included)

Includes :
CS-80 filter

Other filters can be installed (Not included):
303 filter
2600 filter

Omega8 is an excellent up to 8-voice true analog synthesizer. Classic architecture with modern features it offers multi-filtering, arpeggiating, multi-timbrality, MIDI, memory, and more all in a 4-space rack module. With 32 knobs, 35 switches and a rotary encoder, most every parameter is within hands-reach!

The Omega8 features 2 true analog oscillators (VCOs) and one sub-oscillator per voice. Oscillator syncing and independent tuning is available just as on the classic analogs. Then there are the two analog VCF 24dB and 12dB filters that really resemble the sounds of Moog and Oberheim. Additional 303 and ARP 2600 filter circuits are also available! Three LFO's with classic wave shapes can modulate a variety of parameters among the oscillators, VCF and VCA sections. Three multi-stage VCA envelope generators with classic ADSR type controls and more are also onboard.

A good arpeggiator belongs in any analog synth, and the Omega8 has that too! It has tempo, direction, range, interval and MIDI sync controls for a very modern implementation of this useful effect. And speaking of useful effects, there is linear and exponential Glide (portamento) with its own set of modern control and destination parameters. There are plenty more real-time controllers and modulation sources that can be assigned via MIDI, Midi sysex."

Moog Synth + Nintendo Enterntainment System (MIDINIZE II)


Published on Dec 23, 2015 Shnabubula

"http://3cm.jp/midinize2

I was extremely honored to be invited to participate and contribute a song to MIDINIZE II, an album produced by Yuya Shirakami and Takashi Kawano featuring music made with consoles controlled by MIDI devices. You can find out more about the album on the official site, as well as the full roster of artists. When making my song, I decided to record video footage of the Moog part being played live which is what you're seeing here along with the on-cart visualizer of the MIDINES playing it's portion of the song which I recorded and pasted on top of the video inside a GIF of a CRT. Also big thanks to Vince Kai-chan for handling the Japanese translation of the intro text.

One thing I didn't know about the MIDINES cartridge prior to getting to use one, was how many random voice clips are in one of the DPCM Banks. I had a bit of fun with a few of those. Hope you enjoy, and go check out the full album: http://3cm.jp/midinize2 which will be available at Comiket on 12/31."

This might be the first ddrum 3 to be featured on the site. I didn't recognize it off the bat so I did a quick search in the archives. The only post I could find mentioning it was this post from 2006 on a the Simmons SDX. I then took a quick look at Clavia's legacy site and there is not mention of it. There is some info and samples at The Un-official ddrum forum. If anyone wants to share any info on the ddrum3 in the comments, please do!  Curious what Clavia's most powerful ddrum was and if this was it according the the Simmons SDX post.

Yamaha Motif XS8 Star Edition: 2GB sample RAM, 16GB Flash dr. & Pianosoft Library

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

via this auction

"The XS8 Star Edition is a souped up XS8 there is only one of. First the sample RAM is expanded to 2GB. Then as a response to the XF8's much-advertised 1GB of Flash RAM, I gave the XS8 a 16GB Flash memory stick... ha! When the paint wore off on the XS's right side from my mouse / trackball, I created a custom decal to cover the metal. The winning bidder gets and extra decal, and the Photoshop file on disc too in case you want to change the text, add colorful flying monkeys to the design or whatever.

One of the things that never looked quite right to me on the standard XS8 are those iffy green side panels. So I got to work again and voila - lovely smooth wood panels, like a $10,000 Yamaha DX1. Except this new synth has 1000 times the audio capabilities of a DX1.

Stylophone 305S

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

via this auction

"First of all, it’s certainly true to say that it’s much larger than the regular Stylophone – which is, after all, about the size of an inch-and-a-half thick postcard.

The 350S is a souped-up Stylophone in every way: instead of the Stylophone’s 20 notes – an octave and a half – the 350S has 44. That’s three and a half octaves, and you can see in the picture the difference in length between the two keyboards.

Not only that, the 350S has eight voices, as opposed to one (or even the S1’s three), and some of these are themselves in different octaves.

The voices are designated ‘woodwind’, ‘brass’ and ‘strings’. In these days of sample-based synths, none of these sound terribly much like what they say they are, but they have the general qualities of these instruments – and, despite what you may read, one or two of them are quite like the distinctive tone of the regular Stylophone that we all know and love!"

You'll find additional details on the 305S at the listing or Andy Murkin's Music Electronics blog, where it appears to have been pulled from.

"All tuned and serviced, fantastic condition for age.

This one has the lo Midi installed allowing front panel slider automation recording via midi

The Roland Jupiter-4 (JP-4) was an analog synthesizer manufactured by the Roland Corporation between 1978 and 1981. It was notable as the company's first self-contained polyphonic synthesizer, and for containing digital control of analog circuits (termed "Compuphonic" by Roland), allowing for such features as programmable memories and voice assignment modes.

Io MIDI retrofit kit
László Kővári aka "Covariance" developed a MIDI kit and CPU replacement for the Jupiter-4. This two-part kit expands the Jupiter-4's patch memory from eight to sixty-four and also allows recalled patches to be dynamically modified (the original 8048 disallows editing once the patch has been saved). In addition to MIDI all sliders and switches can receive MIDI control messages, the arpeggio can be synced to the MIDI clock as well. A second LFO was also added which is even faster than the Jupiter-4's original LFO."
