Oberheim Matrix 1000 Sound Demonstration

Published on Aug 11, 2014 Gregory Cox

"Sound demonstration of various sounds in the Oberheim Matrix 1000 synthesizer. There are literally so many sounds in this thing you'll get lost! And not to mention this thing has a really great sound. I made this video intending to sell it but I fell in love with the sound in the process...

Audio is clean without effects. Signal chain is Matrix 1000/Patchbay/Apogee Symphony/Headphone out to camera input.

Video was pretty much improvised (except for the Filter and Columns theme:) by cycling through sounds and hitting record for stuff I found interesting. Enjoy.

If you are hearing clicks and pops, it seems to be from the Youtube editor....."

New vs. Old Curtis CEM3340 Rev G Comparison

Published on Jul 4, 2016 Gregory Cox

"This video is a demonstration of the newly manufactured Curtis Electromusic CEM3340 oscillator IC. A comparison is achieved using the Oberheim OB-8 with half of its 3340s replaced and setting the keyboard in dual mode. Voices 1-4 are the original CEM3340s and 5-8 are the Revision Gs. By assigning the same sound to both splits in dual mode, a comparison can be made by fading between both sounds using the program balance knob.

The signal chain is OB-8 / Neutrik patch bay / Apogee Symphony / Headphone Output / Canon 5D mkiii mic input."

Hosting AU Now Compatible with AUv3

via supporting MATRIXSYNTH Member, Ju-X.

"Hosting AU microDAW is a micro-sized Digital Audio Workstation for Mac OSX that hosts Audio Unit instruments and effect plugins. It comes with 4ch+1 mixer with external audio input, 32-bit recorder, music-typing feature 'LazyKey'.

With a MIDI sequencer, you can make any type of music that focuses on simplicity (for dancing or whatever!) super quickly. I mainly recommend Hosting AU to those who are:

Beginners (and who wants to teach them)

As Hosting AU is the simplest DAW available today, you’ll need to learn nothing more than very basic things such as what a synth is, how recording works, what MIDI is, etc.

Mature Musicians and Developers

Hosting AU does the quickest job in every part, from launching until quitting. It can host even older plugins from Intel-era and works on every Mac OS version from Snow Leopard to the very latest one. I believe that you'll find a use for it:)

It does not "wrap" the plug-ins, things are connected and run directly, so you’ll have the best hosting results in terms of both sonic quality and cpu/memory efficiency. You'll also get the lowest latency possible.

Serious Music Listeners

As Hosting AU supports Cycling 74’s SoundFlower (check their website, it’s free to grab from here), you can virtually wire between Hosting AU and any other app that uses audio. Good thing is that you can insert effects after the input, so for instance, you can listen to internet radio in a better way, through your quality plugins;)

Other Info
Hosting AU is only about 600KB of size, surprisingly that could be stored on a 2DD floppy diskette:D. The app itself is self-contained, so you won’t have to worry about files scattered around your system, when you get it installed. Just grab your copy today, and give it a try! As Hosting AU hosts Audio Unit plugins, you can expand it with a variety of plug-ins. I recommend my Gimmick synth to be installed and if you like it, please buy it!

Compatibility
Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard or later.

To host older plugins, open it in 32-bit mode (hit command-i and check the 'Open in 32-bit mode option in the Info Panel'). To host AUv3 plug-ins, run it on El Capitan or above in 64-bit mode."

SYNTON COLLEGE KLEINER SYNTH

Spotted this one over on sequencer.de. No info, just the pic. I've never seen one before. Synton of course made the Syrinx, Fenix semi-modulars, individual modules, the syntovox vocoders and more. See the Synton channel label for everything Synton.

Looking at the panel, we have two VCOs, a VCF, VCA, PRM?, Noise, P2 input/attenutaor modulation section?, P3, P4, P5 input/mixer/attenuators along the right, Envelope, LFO, Sample & Hold, Volume?, built in speaker!?, MIDI in?,  P5 attenuator, Inverter, Buffer and Trigger patch points on the left.

If anyone has any additional info on this one, please chime in.  Curious when it was released, how many, and what it sounds like of course.

Update via 7ate9 in the comments.

all sounds: ARP QUADRA Analog synthesizer from the year 1979

I used here all four synth sections (analog strings and phase shifter, poly-synth, bass-synth, lead-synth), all played live by hand, no midi

The Quadra is a four-section synthesizer consisting of a bass-synth (monophonic), poly-synth (full polyphonic), lead-synth (duophonic), and Solina like analog strings (full polyphonic)
The synth has included a awesome 12 stage phase shifter, dual portamento controls and a fantastic arpeggiator."

New Behringer Synth Teaser Videos

Published on Jul 7, 2016 Music Group

She is analog.
She is discrete.
She sounds amazing.
And she is REAL!!!

Follow-up to this post.

In the 5th video you can see the name of the synth is the DeepMind12, and it will include routable effects and a graphical screen. You can also see a Powered by KLARK TEKNIK on it. KLARK TEKNIK are makers of signal processors and mixers. Note there are 4 FX slots. Effects seen include various types of Chorus, RackAmp, Delay, Reverb. Mood Filter, Flanger, Enhancer, and Dual Pitch can also be spotted as well. Each affect appears to have a number of editable parameters. You can see the RackAmp has parameters for PRE, BUZ, PMC, CRM, DRV, LVL, LOW, HI, CAE. The DSP algorithms are from Klark Teknik and TC Electronic. There is also expected to be a dedicated iPad Editor. At :16 you can see what appears to be it resting on top on top (screen grab further below). Note the different Reverb types in the editor. At :21 in the video you can see the routing of the effects change. At :34 it appears you can stack the same effect types - you can see Hall Reverb in slot 1 and in slot 4 pictured below. Word is it will have a built in arpeggiator as well.

Update2: An update via Uli Bheringer on the new DeepMind12, spotted by Soviet Space Child:

"The DeepMind12 has 4 integrated FX Engines which can we used simultaneously but also synced to the synthesizer itself. Each engine is loaded with more than 30 high-quality FX algorithms from TC Electronic and Klark Teknik. These are true world-class FX, many of which have been derived from TC Electronic's acclaimed signal processors as well as Midas' high-end mixing consoles.

As a world's first, the DeepMind has built in Wifi and allows for full remote control of nearly all parameters - all through typical tablets.

While the price has not been confirmed nor any price indication been given to retailers, we like to manage expectations.
With approx. 4,000 components, the DeepMind12 is one of the most complex synthesizers that has ever been built. Due to its discrete design structure, it has vastly more components than you will likely find in any of the current synthesizers on the market.

While it has always been our company philosophy to work on very small margins, we would however never sacrifice component or manufacturing quality nor sell below cost. Like all our products, the DeepMind12 will come with a 3 Year Warranty program.

These are truly exciting times and thank you for all your interest and support :-)

Uli"
