x0x-heart Demo - Eurorack Modular Experiment

Published on Feb 24, 2017 FatSynthDude

"Putting the x0x-heart through its paces with some ASSEEEED!!! The x0x-heart's signal chain is straight to the mixer with a bit of reverb from the FX-16. Sequenced by the Stillson Hammer mkII.

I haven't ever owned a real TB-303, but compared to other clones I've owned (FB-383, TBX-303, Rebirth) it's pretty good. I like the built-in overdrive circuit. It's like an all-in-one 303 acid machine.

The Art of Listening - Music Documentary (2017)

Published on Feb 21, 2017 The Art of Listening

Segment on Dave Smith and Dave Smith Instruments starts at 11:41 followed by general synth talk from various electronic musicians.

"The Art of Listening is a documentary film about the journey music takes to reach a listener’s ear, from the intent of an instrument maker and composer, to the producers and engineers who capture and preserve an artist’s voice. This journey is narrated by intimate conversations with artists, engineers and producers about the philosophy of their work and the intent behind each musical note they create.

This film is an invitation for music fans to rediscover the intricacies and details available in the sounds of their favorite recordings. The Art of Listening is the beginning of a conversation of how the quality of our listening experiences define the medium.

Patch Notes #30 - Varigate 8+ & Voltage Block

Published on Feb 24, 2017 Voltage Control Lab

"Channels 5, 6, 7 and 8 from the Malekko Varigate 8 are routed to an envelope on the AD/LFO, channel 4 on the Make Noise Maths, Mutable Instruments Braids in snare mode and the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas (this gate is multed to channel 1 Maths to get pitch envelope modulation) to generate complex, randomized rhythm combinations. Random gate mode is enabled with the Varigate 8+ end gate output is routed back into random gate input, retriggering a randomized sequence at the beginning of every bar. The clock output on the Varigate is routed to the clock input on the Voltage Block, to avoid the randomization of the VB sequences when the Varigate 8+ is gating itself (one of the gate bus connections between these two modules).

Two sequences from the Voltage Block are routed to control the fold CV input on the Basilmilus as well as the pitch which is routed through Maths channel 3 and summed from Maths Sum out with the channel 1 envelope for more kick drum-like sounds. Another is routed to control the color input on Braids (which is in snare mode), while two more are routed to the Make Noise DPO mod bus index & fm index. Two additional sequences modulate the Malekko Anti-Oscillator pitch and wave shape, with the final sequence controlling the the low pass cutoff on the Vintage Synth Lab VCF-74.

The DPO is routed out through the Make Noise MMG Filter, and then on to the Optomix modulated by channel 4 on Maths. The signal is then routed through Mutable Instruments Clouds for some reverb and granular manipulation, and then out to the Mix4.

The Anti-Oscillator is passed into the VCF-74 and on to the Malekko Borg in VCA mode, modulated by the AD/LFO. On from the Borg to the Mix4.

Braids is in snare mode routed to the Mix4, pretty simple.

Basimilus Iteritas is going direct to the Mix4 as well.

kozepz & weinglas - FRNDS

Published on Feb 23, 2017 Wein Glas

FRNDS is a new (free) release from kozepz & weinglas featuring electronic instruments from Ciat Lonbarde, Buchla, Hordijk, Haken, and TouellSkouarn. There are two videos in the playlist above. The first is a teaser for the release, and the second is the track Coco Nichoise Phashi Wet, which happens to be the second track. The following is the description for the video followed by the BandCamp embed for the release:

"This Track is from the new Album 'FRNDS' only available from Game of Life: https://gameoflife.bandcamp.com/album... [free download]

A Collaboration by the Two European Electronic Musicians kozepz and weinglas Turned into new Sounds and Noises Made from Wooden Instruments Designed by Peter Blasser (Ciat Lonbarde)."

"In these times of often unwanted changes it is good to have something steady like friends all over the world.

So what can be better than two friends from the Netherlands and Germany collaborating with a Greek label to make international noises for one world.

Noisemakers kozepz and weinglas together with the 'Game of Life' are making the world a better place! Even if this means that we all have to listen to their dark soundscapes and aural pollutions first

Dave Smith Pro 2 Lead Noodling & Big Pad

Published on Jun 30, 2015 Tor Egil Braseth

"Just a little noodling while trying to tame this wonderful instrument. I´ve only had it for a few months, but I don´t see parting ways with it in the near future. Really feels like this will be a classic instrument, kudos to Dave Smith for his vision in keeping the vintage "vibe" while looking forward and adding new and exciting functions and synth architecture."

Moog Sub 37 - Demo

Published on Jul 7, 2016 TheTrackdriver

"All sounds except drums are made on a Moog Sub 37. The drums comes from the Akai Rhythm Wolf + hand clap sample and were recorded on cassette tape for compression and saturation. Unfortunately I didn't use noise reduction so there is an audible tape hiss. I used a Roland RE-301 for the echoes on the arps and they were recorded twice for stereo effect.

Note: The white cotton gloves is not a gimmick. I use them so I won't get finger prints on my gear. Dust is easy to clean but grease is not."

All parameters are CV controlled."

via DSP Synthesizers

"New chip for 2017!

The JVS-01 is a semi-analog synthesizer voice in a 8-pin DIP.

The chip implements a Juno-style synthesizer voice with a saw integrator DCO, 24dB lowpass biquad filter with resonance, DCA with 1024 level amplitude control and a 512 stage DDL Chorus.

The chorus can be turned on or off.

The signal chain is 96dB 16-bit DSP and the DAC runs a 1MHz PDM signal.

Internal processing is done at a 66KHz sample rate.

The chip can be used as a voice chip for an analog voltage controlled synthesizer.

All CV inputs handle positive 0-5 volt input and the DCO pitch conforms to a 1v/Oct frequency response, 5 octaves, 61Hz – 2KHz range."

DEEPMIND 12 ELECTRIC PIANO SOUND DESIGN TUTORIAL ~ Synthesize This! Ep.14

Published on Feb 24, 2017 once upon a synth

"Making an electric piano patch from scratch on the Behringer Deepmind 12. We're not emulating any specific electric piano (like a rhodes, wurly, dx7, etc), instead we'll be creating a generic electric piano patch which can serve as a foundation for building new and unique electric piano type sounds. With the right combination of filter, envelopes and playing style we can get surprisingly close even on an analog subtractive synth like the Deepmind 12. Demo starts at 14:18."

via this auction, also on Reverb.

"For sale is a very rare Emulator EIII Rack. These only show up for sale once every couple years. This is the same exact sound and parts as the Emulator III keyboard but in a more portable rack version. The EIII keyboard cost upwards of $15,000 back in the day and was considered one of the ultimate samplers. Very few of these rack versions exist and they only show up for sale once every few years. This one is maxed with 8MB memory and has a couple nice upgrades including an internal card reader for saving/loading samples along with super bright and easy to read new screen. Cosmetically it is great shape minus some rack rash. Check out the pictures to make sure you like it. It is fully functional and I will include a working video showing it operates properly before shipping. These old EIII's are known to be temperamental, so buyer must be aware of the risks of shipping such an old fragile synth and that it may need regular maintenance and likely a little servicing/checking on arrival of internal cards/ribbons to make sure all connections are secure and all parts of seated properly. The only things worth mentioning is one slider is missing a knob cap (still operates properly and knob caps can be sourced for cheap if desired) and the left stereo output jack tip is slightly broken but still works. Includes printed copy of the reference manual and power cable. The last EIII rack on ebay sold for $4300 in May 2016. I priced this one lower for a quick sale. Don't miss out!"

How To Learn Dexed Part 2 - Accurate & Definitive Sound Comparison With Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer

Published on Feb 24, 2017 Power DX7

"You only need to watch this video to learn the true capability of the DX7 and Dexed. This is an accurate sound comparison video and you will get an accurate result. Accurate comparisons & tests require both standard conditions by those factory patches and extreme conditions to push a synthesizer to its limit. This comparison included Power DX7 signature patches that really pushes the FM synthesis further and further.

My plan was to get Dexed working around mid last year, but I couldn’t get it working until recently.

Below is the link for downloading Dexed.
