YAMAHA DX7 DIGITAL SYNTHESIZER Yasuhiko Fukuda Programming Guide

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

via this auction

"For your consideration is one used Yamaha DX7 Digital Synthesizer book by Yasuhiko Fukuda. 139 pages. It goes into the details of programming this somewhat complicated synthesizer, and also includes some interesting sample patches you can manually enter into your DX7. This edition is suitable for both the international and the USA model.

The book is in excellent condition with light dog-earing on the front and rear covers. The pages themselves are very clean with the exception of the last two (originally blank) pages which have had various algorithms hand-drawn on them (see pictures). I owned a TX7 at the time (25+ years ago!) and since the TX7 does not have the algorithms printed on it, I copied them off a DX7 and into the back of this book...

Please note: Some of the pages in the pictures appear to be stained. However, they are not. This is just a shadow from the lighting. There are no stains inside this book."

Mutable Instruments Yarns Arpeggiator

Published on Apr 21, 2014 bigcitymusic·327 videos

"Here is a brief exploration of the Mutable Instruments Yarns as an arpeggiator in (monophonic) "1M" mode. The Yarns MIDI to CV is connected to the Cwejman D-LFO which is being run through the Cwejman QMMF-4 and SPH-2. The GATE output of Yarns is connected to the 'TRIG' in of the Tides module. The Yarns modulation CV is connected to the Tides FM input so that pressing keys down produces legato notes while decreasing pressure on a key allows for staccato notes. The beginning of the video demonstrates how holding the 'START/STOP' button while playing a MIDI sequence latches on the arpeggiator, which means staccato notes freely run as hands remain off of the keyboard, and legato notes run while pressure is applied to a key. From here we experiment with various arpeggiation ranges, directions and patterns."

Live Modular Expression: Cello Patch

Live Modular Expression: Cello Patch from thijs de vlieger on Vimeo.

"i've been looking at getting a french connection or a roli seaboard, but can't justify the price. so i decided to see what i can do expression wise with a keyboard and my intellijel planar joystick. i tried to make a cello patch using braids's bowed mode, and it came out pretty nice i think!

played it live, no editing, line signal recorded straight into the camera.

soundcloud downloadable audio:
https://soundcloud.com/thijsnoisia/live-modular-expression-cello-patch

patch details for the illuminati:

planar x-axis going into cv mixer, only mixed in a little.

minibrute v/oct into maths for portamento, into cv mixer, on 100%.

cv mixer out into braids v/oct and multed to braids color.

planar y-axis multed and into mvca, braids timbre and a-124 wasp filter cutoff.

braids on BOWD mode, output to wasp filter. wasp freq at 13h30, just easing off the highest freqs. wasp output to mvca.

mvca to behringer vd400 (great bbd delay) and tc trinity on spring verb.

rhythm is by roland aira tr8, triggered by pamela's workout in euclidean. delay on tr8 is the built in delay with some step on/off programming in the sequence. tr8 is the master clock, clocking pam by audio: rimshot every 8th note out into doepfer 143-1 comparator, comparator then clocks pam's sync. the synth on the 1 is the aira tb-3 through the aira vt-1, into the the tr-8's sidechained input."

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

via this auction

"The Roland HS-60 is essentially, a Juno-106 with built in speakers. Its easy to program, good midi features, and has a true analog quality. The Roland HS-60 is an excellent synth for someone wanting to learn synthesis, but is also fully featured enough for a seasoned pro. It features analog six-voice polyphony and is fully programable with one digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) per voice. A very smooth and rich 24dB/oct analog lowpass resonant filter with self-oscillating possibilities and a non-resonant highpass filter. The programable pitch/mod bender can be routed to control the DCO pitch, VCF cutoff, and LFO amount all at once or individually.There are 16 MIDI channels available and MIDI SysEx data can be transmitted/received from all the sliders and buttons for total remote control and sequencing capability. A switch on the back of the keyboard, next to the MIDI ports allows the user to switch between three types of MIDI modes: Keyboard and Hold data only; Keyboard, Hold, Bender, Patch selection data; or All data (including SysEx)."

SHORT DEMO AEYE MODULAR ECHO RANDOM SEQUENCE GENERATOR N SYNTH NEWVOODOODESIGN.COM

"SHORT DEMO OF AEYE MODULAR ECHO N RANDOM SEQUENCE GENERATOR N SYNTH NEWVOODOODESIGN.COM SUITCASE NUKE SERIES.
Just a short demonstration of self-oscillation & some quick examples of the possibilities of the individual modules in this device (echo & sequence gen) made by New Voodoo Design.
Of course, only your imagination is the limit when you COMBINE the two!!
The Echo is a modded Echo Rockit by MFOS and the Random Sequencer/Synthesizer is a One Song by Barton Musical Devices
MADE IN RVA USA"

Created a New Voodoo Design channel label for these. Update: pics and additional details:

via this auction

"Selling our prototype/first model of the first of the Suitcase Nuke series (all come in finished wooden cases and are portable modular units).

This one is the last Aeye, which we used to Demo the unit, etc-but its NEVER been out or used and is only a month old. All the others on the site are sold out.

Its essentially TWO MODULES:

-A modded (customized) Echo Rockit by MFOS (Music from Outer Space) which is a synth, echo unit, and a LOT more (see details below-demo vid only shows FRACTION of what it can do)
-A "One Song" Random Sequence Generator/Sequencer and Synthesizer by Barton which both generates AND plays via its own synthesizer-randomized sequences of notes in number and length that you set via the controls and can either trigger manually or externally. The sequences can also be used to drive other devices via patch cables connected to the outs of the device
Both are ENTIRELY modular and can be cross-connected or run by themselves. Both have their own battery power sources and the entire suitcase can be simply carried wherever, plugged in--and played. This unit, in particular, really has TONS of possibility.

EXAMPLE/SHORT DEMO VIDEO HERE:
http://youtu.be/JUnsyK7Vh3Y

Also, all units in the series come in rack standardized sizes (this one, would, for example, fit in a eurorack rack if you wanted) so can be taken out and mounted that way and very simply and easily included into a modular synthesizer system if you want.
Specs/Details:
Echo Rockit:
Simple 9V Battery Supply
External Input with Mic/Line Capability
Put external signals through VCF and Echo
Resonant Low Pass VCF Doubles as Sine Oscillator
External Voltage Control of VCF Cut Off Frequency
Echo Effect Processing (Volume, Delay, Repeat)
LFO Has Triangle and Square Waves
LFO Has Low and High Range
LFO Modulates Cut Off Frequency
LFO Modulates Echo Delay Time
Internal Oscillator for VCF Excitation
Barton One Song:

(Blurb from Barton Musical Circuits web site)"1Song" is a simple, microcontroller centered synthesizer module for generative (self composing) music. It both composes the melodies and produces the audio itself, requiring no other modules to make music, but it also features inputs and outputs for timing which help it integrate with other modules in a modular synthesizer system. It can ...act as a standalone music producer, powered from a 9V battery or power adaptor.

The melodies that "1 Song" produces are not traditional melodies produced from a diatonic scale and using duple or triple meter for rhythms. Instead, it composes by using algorhythms to produce semi-random numbers, and uses these numbers for it's pitch and length a note is held. Notes are held anywhere from 1 to 16 beats, and there are a total of 64 different notes which can be played. The notes are not arranged 12 per octave, but rather as divisions of the highest frequency, the lowest note it produces is 1/64th the frequency of the highest, the second lowest note is 1/63rd, and so on"

I hope that generally gives everyone the idea of what this unit can do. Again-its a new but Demo unit that has NO problems and WORKS great. Its actually the unit in the short demo video."
