YouTube Uploaded by RanKirlian on Jul 31, 2011

"This video collects brief demos of some musical apps on my iPad . In this first part I play DM1 (0:13), Synthtronica (1:37), Beatwave (4:14), Mugician (5:19) and Sunrizer (7:11).

* DM1 [DM1 - The Drum Machine - Fingerlab] is an advanced vintage Drum Machine. It includes a step sequencer, drum pads, a mixer and a song composer to combine patterns. DM1 comes with 34 high quality vintage and produced drum kits.

* SynthTronica [SynthTronica - Leisuresonic] is a polyphonic spectral synthesizer based on formant architecture and including a dynamic multitouch filter (with control over 11 independent filters). Specially great for complex pads and textures.

* Beatwave [Beatwave - collect3] is a free matrix sequencer with good quality instrument samples and nice visuals. It includes 4 separate tracks allowing you to have multiple instruments playing at once. More instruments can be installed by in-app purchase as well as a Pro version upgrade.

* Mugician [Mugician - Rob Fielding] is a free microtonal capable distortion synthesizer with an 11-string bass guitar layout with extremely low latency.

* Sunrizer [Sunrizer synth - BeepStreet] is a great sounding virtual analog synthesizer that takes the definition of iOs synthesizer to the next level. Features: true SuperSaw sound emulation, 7 voice polyphony with 2 warm-sounding oscillators per voice + 2 sub-oscillators, 2 independent multi-filters per voice, 2 LFOs, 2 envelopes, effects, arpeggiator and Morph Group function."

Alba Ecstasy - Inheritage - a Virus Ti2 demo


YouTube Uploaded by adimsimion on Jul 31, 2011

"A Virus Ti2 demo in multi mode.
Was very painful (and not because of my finger!) to work with it: problems with polyphony, with browsing the patches for every part (only in the right up corner you can see the patch?? - I have to read the manual!) and some other stuff...
I had to hit the panic button for 4-5 times and to record the video as many times...

It is a synth that intrigues me A LOT!

All sounds are coming Virus Ti2 - some of the are made by Alba Ecstasy. The ground noise from beginning is coming from I don't know where!

"The RS100 24dB/oct low-pass filter imitates the Minimoog's filter and exhibits almost identical characteristics in both the frequency domain (i.e. what it does to audio signals) and the time domain (i.e. its response over time to CVs). Below the cut-off frequency the response is approximately flat down to DC. With the filter fully open, it will pass signals approaching 20kHz."

"3 handmade analog drum boxes by Mr.AcidMachine.
Sorry about the poor sound quality from my camera.
Mrs.BassDrum is based on the TR-808 BassDrum with extra controls.
Mama Maraca is based on the TR-808 Maraca with extra controls.
Dr.Rimshot Clave is based on the TR-808 Rimshot/Clave.
Mrs.BassDrum and Mama Maraca sound pretty much the same as on the TR-808, while Dr.Rimshot Clave sounds a bit different, somewhere between the 808 and 909 Rimshot sounds, yet different and unique.
All 3 can be triggered by an external audio signal, drum pad, or voltage trigger.
All 3 can be powered by a 9 volt DC (negative center) adapter or a 9 volt battery. For sale on ebay tomorrow!! One day only!!"

"Another feeble attempt at showing how a Kaoss Pad can be used as an awesome control surface for a modular synth. I'm horrible at talking while I'm syntherbating so most of my words are just rambling. Sorry.

The details... The MIDI from my KP3 is controlling Expert Sleepers' Silent Way DC plug-in hosted in Numerology. The CV is sent out of my MOTU interface via ADAT to ES-3 CV interface.

The signals generated by Silent Way are used to control the Make Noise Phonogene granular sampler. Audio from Phonogene goes into the Korgasmatron filter and then the zDSP.

The additional synth parts are all coming from the modular. Again I'm using Numerology and Silent Way to generate the sequences. The drums are from my Octatrack, all sounds sampled from the modular."

iMKS-7 v1.2 offers:
• Independent and configurable MIDI channels with independent configurable parameters for the MELODY, CHORD and BASS parts
• "Demultiplexing" of some bytes (ex: byte 17) that shares up to 5 parameters. Those bytes are split into individual / independent parameters making the MKS-7 straightforward to control.

4-Controls per Parameter
• Slider: full range parameter value adjustment for a ‘coarse’ workflow
• + button: precise +1 parameter value adjustment for a ‘fine’ workflow
• - button: precise -1 parameter value adjustment for a ‘fine’ workflow
• Parameter default value button: pressing the parameter value label / button sets this parameter to a default value for a faster workflow (ex: DCO wave = Saw; VCF frequency = wide open; etc...)

Parameter Name and Value:
• Name (ex: Saw): as written in the User Manual
• Value (ex: On): as written in the User Manual, dynamically changes when you use one of the 4 controls (slider, + button, - button, parameter default value button)"

Vintage 80's Gleeman Pentaphonic synthesizer

via this auction

"This is an early Gleeman that was sent back to the factory (Mr Gleeman's garage) for every update that was offered. It has had the interval tuning mod, the 100 patch memories (50 factory 50 user), and an independent control of white noise (the extra knob pictured) ALL MODS were performed by the Gleeman brothers and work great. I am assuming that because this is an early machine the overlays that would normally be on the back of the machine and around the presetter/joystick were removed to perform the mods and not reattached. Besides the factory mods this machine is all original. You can tell that alot of the casing was hand cut because there is the occasional tooling mark on the casing.

This machine looks sharp and has been well taken care of as you can tell by the pictures. Three reasons to own a Gleeman are the powerful unique sounds, the unique architecture of the insturment, and the hands on interface. These features combine to keep you inspired and playing for hours. I get into what I call "the Gleeman trance" I start playing with it and before I know it five hours have passed.

These machines are about as rare as a unicorn, but rarety has never impressed me. I would put a Gleeman up against the best polysynths ever made any day. It also does not sound like any other synth in my opinion. In a world of software emulators and virtual synths it is important to me to be able to get some unique sounds without much effort.

This machine does have a built in amp and speaker that sounds cool but the best way to hear it is through its quarter inch audio outs. I am sure it is obvious a world class synth sounds better plugged into a console instead of an eight inch car speaker."

ARP Sequencer with Original Manuals

via this auction
"1613 model, serial number 50... This is probably the coolest and most versatile analog sequencer ever built. If you've never tried one, they're amazing. For instance there are at least 9 simultaneous outs available for patching. It clocks, steps and resets from nicely from the trigger out of analog drum machines such as a TR-808 or 909 in tight sync so that you can program the individual step rates. It will add a keyboard CV to the quantized outs so that you can run it as 2 independent 8 step arpeggiators. It will also run at audio rates, effectively becoming a voltage controlled oscillator with the sliders controlling the waveshape a la Ian Fritz and a VC pulsewidth. These features are all tested, working and awesome.

It's worth mentioning that the sequencer powers on with the clock running. I'm not sure if Arp designed them that way, but my model 1623 does it too, and this has no effect on the function of the sequencer, everything works as it should. This is a really awesome machine, that will make anyone searching for an analog sequencer very happy."
