Sgt Pepper's Synthesized Hard House Track

What was interesting about this mix for me is that it brought the vocal intonations out a bit more than the original. I heard them independent of the music. People usually associate synths with the synthetic, but in this case they draw out the vocal.

Cirklon: simple aux events example

YouTube Uploaded by WilyEPeyote on Aug 4, 2011

"Cirklon triggering Emu World Board Talking Drum patch

Basic 16 step P3 pattern, randomly record some notes in from MIDI then add as follows:
Aux A: velocity accumulator, set one amount. Then on each pass the velocity of each note in the pattern increases by this amount. See also menu for behaviour of accumulator when the max is reached, the limits too.
Aux B: Randomly mask Aux C, different random amounts for each step
Aux C: Repeat note 3 times / velocity plus or minus on selected steps
Aux D: Randomly mask selected gates with individual random amounts per step

I think that's the gist... hopefully makes sense. Imagine if I'd spent time planning the notes, adding percussion on other tracks etc. etc.

modular synth session of dreams

YouTube Uploaded by martinHETERJAG on Aug 4, 2011

"i had a dream. it came true in the world of synthesizer sounds!"

::vtol:: dSpacer

::vtol:: dSpacer

"Dual DSP, 4 channel module. Can be used as FX processor and standalone sound generator (programed or feedback based).

part of the "system"

Each DSP has 7 internal programs (bank_1):

- chorus-reverb
- flange-reverb
- tremolo-reverb
- pitch shift
- echo
- Reverb 1
- Reverb 2

8 more custom programs can be added to each DSP with external EEPROM (bank_2). Custom programs, such as random noise generators, granulators, DCO, etc. will be available later on EEPROM chips (easy to add - no soldering will be required). By installing two custom EEPROM chips three different banks of programs can be stored inside, with any two available simultaneously.

- 3 pots with modulation inputs for each DSP

- External processor clock input on each DSP (any logic level clock source)

- 1 square wave high frequency generator for DSP clock modulation

- 2 banks: internal (7 programs) and EEPROM (8 programs)

- 4 inputs/4 outputs

Depending on the program various combinations can be achieved:

mono in > mono out x4
mono in > stereo out x2
stereo in > stereo out x2

So up to 4 individual FX programs can be connected in series.

Cakewalk News Alert: Z3TA+ 2 Available Today!

"Boston, MA (August 8, 2011) — Cakewalk, the world's leading developer of powerful and easy to use products for music creation and recording, today announces Z3TA+ 2 the Second Generation Waveshaping synthesizer is now available.

Z3TA+ 2 (Win/VSTi) has an estimated street price of $99/€99/£89 (vat inclusive) and is available at www.cakewalk.com Registered Z3TA+ customers can upgrade for $49/€39/£35 (vat inclusive) at www.cakewalk.com.

Check out the Z3TA+ 2 product pages complete with sound samples.

Z3TA+ 2 builds upon the solid foundation of this classic waveshaping synthesizer with improved controls via a complete user interface overhaul for extensive, hands-on control of parameters including envelopes, effects routing, waveshaping, and performance functions. Real-time performance and expression controls are centralized into the Performance Module featuring the new Adaptive Pitch Bend. All this provides new inspiration for sound design, real-time expression, and is all bounded by impeccable sound quality.

Z3TA+ 2 Highlights

* Waveshaper is now an integral part of the Oscillator section with 4 new Waveshaping modes. All Waveshapers are now accessible via the modulation matrix opening up an enormous amount of new sound shaping possibilities.

* 4 new Filter modes bringing the total to 14 filter modes with separation control for tweaking resonance peaks on stacked filters. Both filters are readily accessible and visible simultaneously.

* New Graphically controlled Envelopes providing visual representation of all envelopes, mouse controlled ADSR, and improved naming and interface arrangement.

* New Graphical LFOs clearly show the resulting LFO shapes when morphing between two waves and the new AMOUNT fader quickly scales an LFO’s intensity.

* New Graphical Arp provides visual display of Arp patterns, including 100 new patterns from Dance MIDI Samples. 50 new ‘Gate’ patterns, also from Dance MIDI Samples, instantly apply trance gates to synth pads and leads while Humanize and Swing controls increase total Arp flexibility and expression.

* Effects enhancements include: Simple drag and drop routing of all effects, new Hypertube distortion algorithm, and highly flexible distortion module routing (apply to filter busses and master section or both simultaneously).

* Real-time Expression is enhanced with Adaptive Pitch Bend which allows for the bending of notes within the key and mode performed; automatically learns key based on performance.

* All Waveshapers can be mapped to the modulation matrix opening up a whole new world of expression when mapped to velocity and bend controls.

* XY Pad speed control allows users to adjust the morphing speed of XY coordinates.

* Z3TA+’s legendary sound engine has been improved with a new ‘HIGHEST’ SRC algorithm providing smoother, more accurate interpolation of wavetables."

ROLAND SH2000 ANALOGUE SYNTH

via this auction
SN 424149
"This was Roland's second synth (introduced in 1973 following the SH1000) and was the first to feature aftertouch, which makes it a very expressive instrument indeed. From fat and funky wobbly basslines to squelchy soaring leads, this synth delivers (as well as a multitude of 'authentic' recreations of acoustic instruments) - a personal favourite preset is the 'popcorn' (from the disco classic of the same name?)."

Its a classic popular mono synth for a reason - it sounds great and its easy and fun to play. The ability to mix in the sub oscillator at 1 or 2 octaves below makes this a killer bass line maker. Add in the 100 note sequencer and arpeggiator and you can see why this has become a classic synthesizer. Runs on batteries or standard 9v adapter"
