Fruity Loops Sytrus 2 Synth

Update: RM in this case looks like it's Ring Modulation. Wiglaf called it in the comments section. I went back to the site and found the following bit on it. It is interesting that it's called out as a separate synthesis type.

"Ring Modulation - Sytrus operators can interact not only via FM (frequency modulation) and a simple mix, but also via RM (ring modulation). Ring Modulation is a process where the spectra of two input signals are multiplied together to produce another spectrum, often having characteristics qualitatively different than the input signals. "

Via Create Digital Music. I love Fruity Loops. This one looks really interesting. Title link takes you to the Sytrus link destination off of the Fruity Loops main site. There is a link there to the main Sytrus site. The reason why I'm linking to this interim site is because there is an in depth info section with tons of information on the synth. Make sure to check it out. There are some pretty powerful performance features I haven't seen before. BTW, if anyone knows what RM Synthesis is, please comment. I must have overlooked it on the site.



"Sytrus is a powerful and versatile synthesizer featuring 6 customizable operators for FM and RM synthesis, plucked strings synthesis, 3 SVF (filter) & distortion modules, effects module with chorus effects and 3 delay lines & unique programmable unison mode."

Umm... What's RM synthesis?

The Voynich - Made In China

Sent to me by Chris Strellis. Track made with the Voynich home keyboard. Nice! I actually have one of these. : )



"So here's a song made using just a toy keyboard. The drums were sampled
individually and a new groove recreated. Tons of EQ and FX were using in Adobe
Audition to bring it to life as best I could. Lots of ropey playing too - those
tiny keys are damn hard to play!"

Music Thing Gets a Clavia G2 Modular

So that's why Tom has been quiet over there. Some impressive samples of the G2. Interestingly, they don't sound like the Nords to me.

Circuit Benders

Great circuit bending site with pictures and samples. Via GetLoFi. Please don't let this be a circuit bent Roland SH101. The caption on Circuit Benders says it's modified. Let's hope that means modified and not circuit bent. Cheap home keyboards, bend away, but actual synthesizers with only a limitted number out there... Please... Protect and serve.

Oldschool-Sound

I haven't been to Oldschool=Sound.com for a while. Looks like there has been quite a few updates since I last dropped by inlcuding tons of p*rn, some somewhat literal. : ) It's a great site, just be careful at work with those groovy babe shots.

New set in via AH. Wow. Man that's a beautiful modular.

Korg MS-10 Samples

You commonly hear Korg MS20 samples. Here's two of the MS20's little brother, the MS10 I ran into via this thread on Vintage Synth Explorer.
