Introducing Samarkanda 1953 Resampling Delay Performance Station by Xaoc Devices


video upload by Xaoc Devices



"Meet the lovely Samarkanda - a monster of a delay with unlimited potential

Xaoc Devices Samarkanda is a digital quad delay module with extensive patching capabilities and a lot of flexibility for signal mangling. It can be used as four entirely independent delays, a dual stereo delay, a complex/multi-tap or multi-channel delay, a quad/polyphonic resonator, a dual chorus, a dual flanger reverb, a looper (with sound on sound!), and a granulator, or any combination of those. You can reverse the delayed signal, hold it, squeeze and stretch it beyond all recognition and still go back to the original piece of audio captured in the buffer! The internal lossless normalization (the signal doesn't leave the digital domain) combined with top-notch components (including 24-bit AKM converters and 32-bit internal processing) are responsible for high sound quality. Samarkanda has been conceived in the truly modular spirit. Not only can you control almost all its features remotely with CV/gates, but the external feedback path gives you the opportunity to process the delayed signal with other modules.

Samarkanda offers a wide range of delay times beginning at a mere 0.5ms and reaching up to 15 seconds per channel. That means that, by stacking its four channels, you can achieve up to one minute delay! There are two operating modes switchable individually for each channel. Analog delivers pitch changes that resemble classic analog tape and BBD delays. When you combine it with the looping Hold function, you can play Samarkanda with any 1v/octave CV source - using the Sync function you can even loop single wave cycles. The Digital mode gives you a granular buffer-scrubbing effect (no pitch change) across the whole delay time range. You can seamlessly switch back and forth between modes without losing any information. You can use Samarkanda for multiple tasks at the same time - from four independent delay lines through any combination of channels processing the same signal up to a quad behemoth. You can also use the linking feature for ease of operation (the first channel in the chain acts as the main control source for the others).

As most settings operate on a per-channel basis, you can freely combine different features (such as analog/digital behaviour, delay time range, reverse and hold functions, etc.) in a configuration of your choosing. You can synchronize each of its channels separately to a different source, either via the Sync input, or by using the tap-tempo functionality (with multiplication and division galore). Should you ever get lost, the Purge button comes in handy when/if things start to spiral out of control!

Notable features:
Quadruple resampling delay
Lossless chaining of sections
Delay range of 0.5ms to 15 seconds per channel for a total of 60 seconds when stacked
Analog (tape-like) and digital (granular) sweep behaviours
Continuous, synced, and tap-tempo operation

Buffer freezing and 1V/oct loop playback control
Reverse delay effect
Multiple options for coupling channels

00:27-06:19 Juno 60 + Tubbutec MC202 Sequence Jam 1
06:20-10:31 Tubbutec ARP + Drums Sequence 2
10:32-12:48 Drum Samples / Sounds

Here's a Roland MC202 that was restored, then upgraded through our repair shop for Josh Vance. The wonderful creators over at Tubbutec really did some awesome upgrades for this Roland MC202. The Tubbutec Midi + Screen upgrade adds so many features including:
-Three completely independent synthesizer control channels:
-The internal synth, the 2nd CV/gate output and a 3rd MIDI out or DRUM channel. Each channel has its own clock divider and MIDI input and output.
-Can be clocked via MIDI, DIN-sync or trigger using the TAPE-input.
-Internal Swing generator
-Versatile sequencer with 32 patterns, chainable in song mode, edit patterns and songs while playing, shortcuts for quick live arrangement.
-Seven sequencer play directions. Per-step probability of gate and modifiers.
Sequence editor with copy, paste, insert and delete options, can modify note pitch, length and note-modifiers on the fly
-Per-step probability for gates and modifiers
-Arpeggiator with multiple octaves, seven direction modes including ‘order of key press’. Can inherit the ‘chemistry’ of existing sequences, optional euclidian mode and live shortcuts.
-Sequence recorder: Can record key presses or Arp output. With overdub mode and quick setup
-Additional modulations: Accent, Filter and PW envelopes
-Additional noise sound with envelope.
-8-bit LOFI drum sample output with various sound modifiers, sample packs can be uploaded via MIDI
-Save and recall up to 8 sets containing sequencer and modulation parameters. No batteries needed
-MIDI CC control of all additional parameters, filter cutoff, pulse width, clock dividers and more.
-Midi velocity can be linked to various sound parameters.
-Various CV-input modes including a ‘direct’ mode.
-High quality OLED display

Hans Zimmer 'Dune' Vangelis edition


video upload by Welcome at Jose's Vintage Keys

"Back to my roots playing famous movie tunes in the style of Vangelis. Well, let's say with a prominent role of the #cs80 - orginal title: Pauls Dream. Txxs for the inspiration ‪@HansZimmer‬
I tried to give it a human feel for the melody by running the #prophet5 through the VP330 #vocoder. My first ever Vocoder performance :-)"

GS Music Bree6 Synthesizer - LSPXPO 2025


video upload by sonicstate

"On a gentler Sunday morning at the show, Nick caught up with Paul who showed us the GS Music Bree6 synthesizer. Those familiar with the E7 will find the Bree6's layout and features familiar, though with some notable differences. This 6-voice polyphonic synthesizer houses one oscillator per voice, complemented by a sub-oscillator. Unlike its predecessor, it offers a more streamlined approach with one LFO instead of three. The Bree6 retains its analog roots but incorporates digital effects such as chorus and delay to enhance its sonic palette.

The Bree6 also features a 4-pole ladder filter with a 24dB/octave slope and two envelopes, offering you a broad range of sound sculpting options. It provides stereo voice panning, which adds depth, possibly enhanced by the delay. With eight banks of presets and a user-friendly interface, it's a straightforward option for those starting with polyphonic synthesis.
