Testing the La Trobe Serge


Published on Feb 10, 2018 otherunicorn

"Testing the La Trobe Serge. More work is required. Quite a few of the chips appear to have during its earlier life or extended sleep in a box in a shed. Yes, there are a lot of painful notes in this. I wasn't trying to be musical."

Roland Juno 106 + MKS 7 Soundtrack for Apollo 16


Published on Feb 10, 2018 Earmonkey Music

"I've been restricting myself to a limited setup to help me focus. It's a nice challenge. This track uses only two pieces of gear; the Roland Juno 106 and the Roland MKS-8. The drums are the TR-707 sounds within the MKS7. Layering the Juno and the MKS gives some really nice fat vintage analog tone. Hope you enjoy. I think the video footage is public domain from NASA. Apollo 16 mission."

NAMM 2018: Strymon Magneto [Episode 36]


Published on Feb 10, 2018 CatSynth TV

"A look at the new Strymon Magneto Eurorack module at NAMM 2018. TL;DR - we want one!

From Strymon's webiste
"To capture the full experience and complexity of a vintage tape echo machine, every last tape system attribute was relentlessly studied and faithfully recreated. From the sought-after natural saturation and soft clipping of magnetic tape when driven hard, to hands-on real-time controls for tape age, tape crinkle, and mechanical wow and flutter, Magneto delivers a rich multi-head delay experience that adds life and vibe to your sound."

Roland JX-3P (Juno 106) SUPER CHORUS Effects Xenyx 2442FX Behringer Mixer


Published on Feb 10, 2018 DKDiveDude

"About a month ago I got a vintage Roland JX-3P locally for only $250. Middle C key did not work, sequencer tempo slider was broken off, and seller claimed sequencer did not work. I took it apart and fixed the broken key. Sequencer worked fine when putting switch in back to MIDI.

Anyways I LOVE the sound of this thing. It sounds, to my ears, exactly like a Juno 106, except the JX-3P is BETTER as it have two DCO's (Digitally Controlled Oscillators) per voice.

Here I paired it up with the built-in effects of my Behringer Xenyx 2442FX mixer. It has 100 built-in effects, of which many are VERY good with the JX-3P / Juno, one delay effect is like a SUPER CHARGED CHORUS! Others are reverb, flanger, phaser, and regular chorus."

Ethan's Theme OB6

Dave Smith Instruments OB-6 Desktop Unboxing Pics


Just a few unboxing pics of my brand new DSI OB-6 Desktop! :) I decided to sell my OB-Xa after getting it restored by Synthchaser. I needed the space, and I figured it was time for it to go to someone who would enjoy it fresh and new. That, and I wanted the extra features of the OB-6 with the reliability of a new synth. I am curious how the SEM based design will sound compared to my OB-Xa. The OB-1 and OB-X were based on the discrete analog design of the original SEM, while the OB-Xa moved towards a Curtis IC chip based design. From what I've heard online, I am sure the OB-6 will satisfy my needs for that overall Oberheim character, yet add its own distinct character as does each OB synth.   I just opened the box and took these pics, so I haven't had a chance to play it yet.  That said, I will say physically it feels like an Oberheim - the knobs, the look of it of course, the weight (this thing is solid), and surprisingly the wood side panels down to the type of screws used on it.  My OB-Xa, OB-SX and Matrix-12 all had the same exact type of screws.  I know it's a minor detail to most, but having been an owner of Oberheim's classic poly analogs it is a detail much appreciated.  I cannot wait to dig into this synth! I've been thinking about picking one up since it was released. I haven't been this giddy about a new synth in a long time. :)

Korg Volca FM is playing the lead, a Rhodes style patch.
Moog Mother 32 is playing some subtle synth lead. I used Dexed for some additional FM chords and Omnisphere for strings. Effects used: Valhalla Shimmer, Soundtoys Crystallizer & Echoboy."

Critter & Guitari Organelle + Boss Dr550 (Techno Jam)


Published on Feb 10, 2018 Delta Aquari

"Got my Organelle today and I am super surprised with it, even though I wish it would be a bit bigger. As there is already a lot of 'ambient' stuff out there I decided to record a quick techno improvisation with my DR550. So far I can say that the Organelle is super intuitive and a welcome relief to my more complex modular stuff. Definitely a booster for creativity !"

Moog DFAM: Morphing thru the Presets


Published on Feb 10, 2018 HardtekStudios

"In my first properly recorded DFAM video, I wanted to demonstrate the extremely wide range of sounds & patterns that you can get from it. I start with an initialized setting for synth & sequencer. Then I add a preset overlay on top of it and slowly tweak to that sound. Then I make some extra tweaks before I exchange it to the next preset overly. I do this three times before I just jam on it without any direction. Toward the end I use the LFO from the Mother-32 to modulate some stuff. The Moog Drummer From Another Mother is not just a drum synth, but a unique instrument for creating rhythmic and modulating patterns, textures & yes even bleeps & bloops."

Behringer Neutron Testing


Published on Feb 10, 2018 DivKidVideo

1. Behringer Neutron Testing - Feature Jam
"Here's my first video of seven (to kick things off, more to come) with the Behringer Neutron. This is a little feature jam with the Korg SQ-1 sequencing the pitch and gate and a few eurorack modular drums mixed in for good measure."

2. Behringer Neutron Testing - Paraphonic VCO & Filter Workout
Here I have a Korg SQ-1 sending a 4 note sequence to the first Curtis CEM 3340 VCO and a 3 note sequence to the second VCO. This gives us some overlapping polymeric (not polymeter, that's conversation for another day) patterns. The VCOs sound great playing overlapping patterns then mixing through paraphonically into the filter/VCA/drive/delay.

3. Behringer Neutron Testing - Synth Drone
Here's a synth drone for the third video of seven from my time testing the Behringer Neutron. There's the BBD Delay, lots of modulation from the LFO and sample and hold as well as the two ADSR envelopes.

4. Behringer Neutron Testing - BBD Delay Workout
PLEASE NOTE - the final version has two BBD chips and a longer delay with less noise until much longer delay times. I'll have that unit coming soon to make more fulsome content.

In this patch from my time testing the prototype Neutron unit from Behringer I'm playing around with the BBD delay chips. The delay can be used completely standalone with input and output and also a CV input for the delay rate (it will with modulation make a great chorus). In the default signal path it comes at the end of the signal path after the overdrive.

5. Behringer Neutron Testing - Acid Patch
Here's an acid style patch with the Behringer Neutron. You can hear the filters snarl and raw character as well as the richness of the oscillators coming through. There's the output overdrive and BBD delay in play at points too.

6. Behringer Neutron Testing - Cosmic Synth FX
While these little teaser videos for the Behringer Neutron are coming to and end (one more video, the seventh uploaded this weekend) here's some Cosmic Synth FX making use of the patchbay and on board delay to create some more abstract and experimental drones and noises. Perfect "sample fodder" to record and cut up for more "conventional" uses as percussion or little noise and FX hits.

7. Behringer Neutron Testing - Sync, Drive & Character
With the sync mode between the oscillators you can get all sorts of overbowing, guitar feedback, plucked string like twang extra harmonics into the core sound on the Neutron before going through the filtering, drive, VCA and delay. So this video is just that, testing out the sync between two oscillators and playing around. It's also the last video in the 7 I made for test patches.

Roland MC8 vs Arp Axxe - ODD RHYTHMS - Ralph Dyck


Published on Feb 10, 2018 peahix

"I recently had my Roland MC8 Microcomposer repaired by Synthchaser (http://synthchaser.com/), and in order to give it a good test, I fired up the old data file of ODD RHYTHMS (previously seen here: [posted here]), and this time I hooked it up to an Arp Axxe, which provides all the different sounds you hear in this version (via multitracking each monophonic part). There's no EQ or any other effects applied- just pure Arp!"
