Dual Oscillator Roland Juno-6 Mod Kit in the Works



"The first demo of my prototype dual DCO Juno 6. The first pass is as a single oscillator (vanilla) Juno, the second pass is with the second set of oscillators engaged in sync mode."

The Roland Juno-6 and Juno-60 are one OSC plus Sub OSC synths. This mod adds an additional oscillator. It is expected to become available as a kit with an external control box for the oscillator - no drilling on the existing Juno required.



"Another demo of the prototype dual DCO Juno 6, this time a 'strings' type sound."

Serge1973VCF Demo


Published on Jul 9, 2014 davidryle

"A MOTM format build of the famous Serge 1973 VCF. This is a Ken Stone pcb from Cat Girl Synth and is numbered CGS77.

The additions are the Hi and Lo Q resonance settings and a "low frequency" mode for slew of control voltages (DC).

The panel graphic maintains the Serge philosophy with a printed paper laminate on a metal panel. The obvious difference is the MOTM (Synthesis Technology) format.

This demo only demonstrates the 2 pole -12dB Low Pass mode. The filter also has a -6dB band pass and -12dB high pass mode which are very nice as well.

There are some background voices which I decided to include for temporal flavor. Everything is from the modular synthesizer except the echo delays which are a Lexicon and T.C. Electronic rack units after the modular.

Thanks to Ken Stone at CGS

Jaap Blonk, Pipa + Dizi, Peter B


Published on Jul 9, 2014 Peter B

Peter Blasser is the man behind Ciat-Lonbarde.

"Jaap Blonk and two Chinese musicians sat down one night with me to record this improvisation. I am playing a 'tetrazzi kiosk,' a sort of squish-box synthesizer that can introduce chaos tones, paralleling the noise tones inherent in Jaap's voice and also the timbres of the ancient instruments. Did you know that pipa is usually used to mimic nature or battle sounds? The name of this piece could be 'Attacking by Jumping out of the River'.

I will publish the names of the Chinese musicians when I find them, if they wish to be cited here..."

Roland Jupiter 6 Analog Synthesizer with Europa

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

via this auction

"Europa Operating System allowing easy Digital Audio Workstation integration can send and receive midi CC commands, from front panel sliders/knobs.
Control your DAW via the Jupiter front panel, great for live work.

The Synthcom Systems Europa Firmware V 1.0 adds the following features upgrades:
Summarized feature list:
Additional arpeggiator modes
In addition to regular Roland Jupiter 6 arpeggiator operation, Europa adds many new arpeggiator modes, some exclusive to Europa!

Additional arpeggiator synchronization sources
The arpeggiator can now be synchronized from external clock trigger, MIDI clock or the improved internal clock. Europa's internal clock is extremely steady and can now be used to trigger and clock external MIDI equipment.

Send and receive MIDI continuous controllers
Almost all (excluding master volume and bender board controls) sliders, knobs, and soft switches have the ability to be changed via standard MIDI continuous controllers. This is great for modifying board parameters in real time.

Send and receive presets/patches via MIDI
One of Europa's primary new functions! Europa includes the ability to save and load patches/presets via MIDI. Never use that unreliable tape interface again! Trade patches with other Europa upgraded Jupiter 6 owners!

Europa firmware updates via MIDI
The Europa operating system can be updated by way of the MIDI interface from any Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh based personal computers. No need to open the board! Source code for the update utility is available so it may be ported to any platform.

Patches/presets stored in flash
Europa stores all patches and presets in its onboard flash. This means no more lost patches or presets when the controller board battery goes bad!

Additional voice assignment modes
Europa includes 4 additional voice assignment modes over the factory Roland code.

Board state retention
Europa remembers the state of all of the Jupiter 6's settings even after power down. If you're in the middle of editing a patch and you power down, the board will be in the same state when it was powered off! This, of course, is only possible if the memory protect switch is not on, as the board's current settings are stored in the onboard controller's NVRAM.

Polymer by Paracosm : Polyphonic Modular Demo


Published on Jul 9, 2014 darksideothetune

"Polymer lets you play your monophonic synths together polyphonically, as if they're one giant mutant polysynth. And that's just the tip of the iceberg: you can alternate notes between different synths in monophonic sequences, layer pads and leads to create songs without leaving the keyboard, or experiment with the outer limits of modular paraphony."

Rare Solton Polyvox Keyboard Synth For Sale

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

via MATRIXSYNTH CLASSIFIEDS

"Up for sale is the ultra rare Solton Polyvox with Polyvox K and complete casing.
This very unique italian machine is basicaly an analog drumcomputer, string machine, mono bass synth, organ, programmable sequencer and mixer.
It also features a spring reverb and a chorus !
The cool thing about this unit is that you can even programm your own drumpatterns, bass sequences and chord lines. You can also use the standard on board patterns like “Disco A/B” and “Hard Rock” which instantly produce dark disco magic.

This synth is very unique and bizarre. There are probably only a handful of these in existence worldwide and it was quite amazing for us to find one of these units in very good and working condition.

The sound of this unit is very magical analog, bright and beautiful, you’ll instantly get something great out of this box.
Shiny and dark analog strings and choirs. Very italian sounding, with lot’s of charm.
The organ sounds very 60′s and it could perfectly produce a soundscape for an old Sci-Fi or Horror B movie.

We do not have any manuals or service notes to this unit.
Elektroakustik Wagner just replaced the old battery and did some contact service and cleaning inside.
The unit basically works and sound great."

"Unlock the potential of your synths with Polymer, a Polyphonic Voice Distributor.

Polymer lets you play your monophonic synths together polyphonically, as if they're one giant mutant polysynth.
