2015 Synthesizers.com Calendar


And the final post of 2014 goes to Synthesizers.com and their 2015 Calendar.

BTW, one of my pics is featured in the calendar!

Not September though.  Dummies kind of freak me out (both kinds).

Sweet dreams automatonophobiacs...  :)

Picks up at the 1 minute mark.

"I just bought the Pro 2 and make a first sequence. I want to show you how easy this great this synth is to make a simple sequence. I only tweak oscillator one (shape/noise) and use some reverb and the both sliders on the Pro 2. Hope you enjoy and more complex sequences are coming...

Now I start to clean this Pro 2 from some dust... ;-)"

"Covering a few styles from minimal techno, acid, oldschool house, deep house, 35 minute hardware mix, a few messy bits but I wanted to get it recorded before midnight, I did not have time to rehearse so what you hear is the rehearsal, some pre-programmed patterns, some made up on the fly, I might revisit some of the patterns in future videos.

All recorded direct with no post processing, gear used 2x Korg Volca Sample, Korg Monotribe, Korg Electribe 2, TE OP-1, Peavey RQ200 mixer, analog delay pedal.

Play it loud :) Hope you enjoy and happy 2015!"

Kawai 100F Analogue Monophonic Synthesizer SN K-2332

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

via this auction

"Hi, Here is a nice looking analogue monophonic synth from the Japanese synth makers, Kawai. The 100F's filter architecture is reputedly a very close copy of the ARP Odyssey's. The filter was smooth and bright, and could be driven into self oscillation to produce metallic, glassy, tinkling highs or deep sub-bass lows. Sadly, after a period of intermittent signal output, the VCO cant be heard, nor can the VCF when pushed into the self/osc zone, where it should whistle/oscillate wildly! Possibly a VCA output problem but I don't really know. A faint clicking signal from the LFO can be heard and the rate/speed of clicks are adjustable. The synth is in reasonable cosmetic condition considering its age, mid '70s. All slider caps are present as is the original owners manual and paper sound patch templates. Some wear on rear underside of end cheeks and veneered part of lower back panel. A little veneer has parted company with the front of the right hand end cheek. A little corrosion under the paint work near the power switch. The 1/4" jack ins and outs can be used for external signal processing, connecting other voltage controlled synths and CV/Gate equipment..."

Oberheim Ob-12 Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"The OB-12 is a 12 voice synth with 4-part physical modeling synthesis. Loads of real-time knobs (22), sliders (24), and buttons (33) with a traditional layout give you fast hands-on access and control of most parameters. Extra hands-on goodies include a ribbon controller, pitch bend and modulation wheel.
Aside from great analog sounds, the OB-12 has an amazing set of hi-tech features! The OB-12 features a high quality LCD display that actually draws out all of the parameters you are changing. There are on board 5-band graphic & parametric EQ, ADSR's with delay time and double decay. An addictive Motion Recorder and manual or auto oscillator morphing for animated sounds or effects. Phrase Recorders and Arpeggiators with Independent tempo controls and 5 dedicated buttons are on-board with plenty of features and are MIDI syncable. There is also an extensive effects section that give you reverbs, delays, chorus and lots of overdrive algorithms. You'll also find digital SPDIF outputs, analog outputs, and MIDI in/out and thru."

Vermona DRM1 MKIII Analog Drum Synth SN D 09101 with Original Box

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

via this auction

"The Vermona DRM-1 is a true analog drum synthesizer. You can synthesize up to eight drum sounds and they can be triggered by MIDI and by an optional set of 10 Trigger Inputs. Each sound has about 9 knobs for shaping the sound. And since it really is analog (and not some virtual emulation) the sounds are more unique and unpredictable than any other electronic drum synths currently available. The user interface is absolutely clear and intuitive - one knob, one function.

The instruments on the DRM1 MKII are as following:

▪ KICK
: big and fat kick drums, similar to Roland TR-909 or 808 but with more variations possible, plus built-in overdrive and FM modulation for crazy sounds.

▪ DRUM1 and DRUM2: 
Very flexible instruments that can generate kick- and tom sounds as well as bongos. Anything from zaps to blings and fantastic PIUU...

▪ MULTI
: Three oscillators can be detuned and gives you nice cowbell-like or cymbal sounds. If you like submarines you can create a nice sonar ping.

▪ SNARE:
 Powerful snare with adjustable filter, tune, noise, attack, decay, etc. 909 or 808 type snares possible

▪ Hi Hat1 and Hi Hat2:
 Very nice hi hats! can be metallic and harsh or soft and blippy.

▪ CLAP
Classic analogue hand claps."

John Bowen Solaris Demos by boxoftextures


Solaris general demo Published on May 13, 2012 boxoftextures

Don't miss the Rotor demo below. It's one of the unique features of the Solaris.

"A brief exploration of some of the capabilities of the John Bowen Solaris synthesizer, showing the flexibility and depth of what you can do with it. This isn't a full blown tutorial but more of a taste of how you can program the synth.

Solaris rotor demo

Published on May 13, 2012 boxoftextures

"A demonstration of the basics of the rotors in the John Bowen Solaris synthesizer. The rotors are a somewhat unique module. They're not a sound generator on their own, but instead they let you mix and modulate several different inputs, be they sound sources or some other sort of signal. Using the rotors you can make either subtly motion-filled patches or you can go wild and make some crazy sounds.

Buchla 291e VCA AM FM mod mix


Published on Dec 30, 2014 JurekPrzezdziecki

"Just another experiment with this amazing module. 291e triple morphing filter used as feedback oscillator. Modulation inputs A/B/C feeded with audio for AM and FM modulation. Audio output from 261e sent to 258v and have been mixed together. So 258v works as a 'hub' to mix audio waveforms. Filter snapshots previously created and i have changed them manually. Changing frequency of 261e and 258v creates interesting polyrhythm patterns. Powerful module."

Single VCO split to create dub chords (modular trick)


Published on Dec 30, 2014 alternatingbitmusic

"Thanks to the enginerring genius of Stereotactixxx I was able to follow his lead on the concept of using a single VCO to create a chord via pulse split / gate sourcing. In short:
Take one VCO, tune it high and set the pulse width no wider than 50%. Split the pulse out with a multiple, and send two instances of that pulse to the clock inputs of two rows of sympleSEQs. Set one sympleSEQ to 5 steps and the other to 6 steps. Mix the gate outs of the sympleSEQs using a mixer, and there is your chord. Flip the gates on and off on the sequencers until you get a sound you like. Some has to be off, otherwise you will will only end up with the fifth in the chord, which is the original clock signal. Now that you have your chord, just send it through a VCF and a VCA and modulate them the way you would do with any sound. (his words)"
