"Vintage 1980s OBERHEIM DMX Digital Drum Machine Beatbox. This one does NOT have MIDI. It's in overall good working order with the following issues:
1. The volume slider currently causes a hum around the middle of its range. The hum disappears when you set it to maximum. Not much of a problem, really, as you'll want to keep this thing cranked up anyway!

2. Something's screwy with the tempo display. In this mode only, some of the LED digits don't light up unless you press gently onto the faceplate right next to the volume slider. The tempo setting function itself works fine- it's just that you have to press the faceplate a bit to see the tempo fully/correctly displayed. I've taken pics of the tempo both correctly and incorrectly displayed.

3. The "Ride2" button currently plays the "Crash" sound instead. I'm not sure what the issue is. The "Ride1" button plays the correct "Ride1" sound.

4. As this unit has not been serviced recently, it has all the usual minor issues: somewhat flaky/double triggering buttons, somewhat flaky slider pots. These issues don't seriously impact performance, and would be fixed as part of any basic servicing.

5. Minor scuffs/scrapes here and there (study pics for further details)."

Korg Trinity Plus Solo-Tri Best Prophecy Special EFX & Drones Synthesizer MOSS

Published on Aug 25, 2015 SynthgodXXX

"Korg Trinity Plus Solo-Tri 'Best Korg Prophecy Special EFX & Drones' by Rik Marston 100% NO TALKING!!!

This is a demo of some of the Best Korg Prophecy
Special EFX & Drone sounds, deep, modulating, panning
stereo digital sounds made for a 3-D environment.
Way cool as a stand alone synthesizer, the Korg Prophecy
blew the walls down in hundreds of studios across the world
with it's powerful sound engine & complex structures.
Korg made it even easier to customize the Prophecy engine when
they designed the SOLO-TRI expansion for the Trinity series
workstations. It is better on the bigger touch screen to edit.
Super cool digital virtual analog / MOSS sound engine, the
only thing was the controls were different on the Prophecy
(ribbon log, mod wheels, ARP) than the Trinity. The Prophecy
was more expressive & FUN on stage & off!
But with it inside the Trinity workstation, you could add it directly
into sequences & have a full size synth to play on (61-88 keys)

Today you can find the SOLO-TRI expansion board for cheap on
Ebay, but without the "holding bracket" that easily holds the expansion in place. Worth the effort to get, because if you are
a fan of the Prophecy, it just is the right thing to do with your
old 'stock' Korg Trinity. Or just buy a used TRINITY PLUS & spare yourself the installation time & sweat. If you have been wanting
one of these, GET IT. I won't let you down!!
Great value for a cheap price!!!

MS20 mini vs MS20: original how does it compare?

Published on Aug 25, 2015 Jon Sonnenberg

"The Korg MS-20 is a classic analog synth with some fairly unique features that are not found on other synths. Taking a critical ear to the 2013 reissue of this synth, I compare several sounds between an original MS-20 and the new MS-20 mini."

Modified TAMA TECHSTAR TS305 Beats.

Published on Aug 25, 2015 circuitbenders.co.uk

"Mods include an LFO with pulse and continuously variable saw up/triangle/saw down outputs, with a LFO range switch that takes its speed well into audio frequencies.

On each of 4 channels theres a percussion decay long/short/constant tone switch, VCO frequency modulation source switch (audio or LFO), LFO waveform switch (pulse or saw/tri), VCO FM amount knob, and a VCO pitch range hi/low switch.

The VCO frequency of each channel can be modulated either using the LFO or the output of the overall audio source selection switch. This rotary switch chooses between sourcing the audio modulation signal from the output of any of the six channels, including the channel being modulated for FM feedback loops, or an external audio input."

Update:

Modified TAMA TECHSTAR TS305 drone & cross modulation

Published on Aug 25, 2015

"On this demo the four modded channels are all set to produce a constant tone, and are then their VCO frequencies are modulated with each other and the LFO"

Update: some details on the mods via Circuitbenders where you'll find more pics & info.

"The new version of these mods is based on the previous version, but expands on version one to give more in depth control and a lot more possibilities for modulated analogue percussion weirdness.

The LFO retains the same basic design, but also provides a new range switch that selects between the normal speed settings provided by the previous mods, and a super fast speed range that takes the LFO rate well into audio frequencies for all kind of insane 1950's sci-fi frequency modulation effects. The LFO still outputs pulse and saw/triangle waveforms, but on the new mods you get a separate LFO waveform selection switch on each modded channel, instead of a single overall waveform switch that is applied to all channels simultaneously.

Each modified channel now includes:

Decay range switch: As before, this sets the range of the decay knob, but it now has three positions instead of two. With the switch set upwards the decay knob range of the percussion tones is set to normal. With it switched downwards the range of the knob is extended to take over where the normal range left off at its lowest setting, and give a lot longer decay times at maximum. With the switch in its central position the channel will output a constant VCO tone with the pitch set by the channels tune knob. Any channel with its decay switch set to the tone position can either be kicked into life with a trigger input, or if its left to its own devices the tone volume will eventually rise on its own.

LFO Shape switch: As explained above, this switch selects the VCO LFO waveform independently for each channel. The choices are pulse or saw / triangle

VCO FM Source switch: The VCO frequency of each channel can be modulated either using the LFO, or with an audio source provided by the audio source rotary switch (see below). This switch selects between the two options.

Moded Tama Techstar TS305

VCF FM Amount: This is a new knob on each channel that independently sets the amount of frequency modulation that is applied to that channels VCO. Anything from subtle vibrato or warbling Theremin like tones, to extreme cross modulation effects that wouldn't be out of place on the Forbidden Planet sound track, can be achieved using the VCO FM mod.

Tune Range switch: As before, this sets the range of the VCO tuning knob, but with some minor adjustments to give a better range and response curve than before.

modified Tama Techstar v2

The new audio source rotary switch determines where the input for the audio setting of the channel VCO FM switches is sourced from. The audio modulation signal can be sourced from the output of any channel, or an external audio input. The output of a channel can be used to modulate its own VCO frequency for some bizarre frequency modulation feedback sounds.

The audio output of each channel is sourced before the channels output volume knob, so its entirely possible to do things like setting up one channel to output a constant VCO tone, then turn down the volume on that channel, but still use the that tone to modulate the VCO frequency of other channels. Alternatively you could produce an audible percussion sound on one channel and then use a muted sound on another channel to mutate the first channels sound on accented beats, kind of like you might use a side chain input on a compressor. Use the LFO to slightly modulate the muted sound and you've got an infinite variety of evolving hits and accents."

7 Minutes with an Ipad Synth - Ondes (Olympia Noise Co.)

Published on Aug 25, 2015 Synth Anatomy

"This week: Ondes from Olympia Noise Co.

Ondes is a fantastic app in my eyes for special playing with synthesis. You can also add it to your modular synthesizer setup

Inspired by early electronic instruments such as the Ondes Martenot and the Theremin, Ondes emulates the fluid playing style of those classic instruments with an interface and synthesis engine firmly grounded in the present day.

Whether you’re gliding through melodies & chord changes or creating dense polyphonic sci-fi soundscapes, Ondes is an instrument unlike any you’ve played before.

Being Boiled again - this time with added metronome

Published on Aug 25, 2015 Pi Synth

Omenie Synth Collection on Raspberry Pi Synth

"Boy oh boy you need to REALLY like the old Human League to survive a subscription to this channel ...

Here is Being boiled yet again, this time being used to demonstrate the improvements in the metronome over the last 24 hours.

First off, the blue pulse that slides along the 32 beats steps has got way smoother and is now in that 'Nails like Butter (™)' zone.

Second, the brightness of the metronome is now under the control of the sequencer. So any time you want a bright metronome, just command it to be brightened. Brightening is instant, fading is IIRd for that 'Smooother than Galaxy Caramel' effect.

And thirdly, and I think finally, the LEDs (or 'LEDs' if you insist) fade-out at a rate driven by the current BPM, in an attempt to maximize the ability to read the beat no matter how fast or slow your track is moving along.

I do have square and round LEDs available, but I much prefer the square ones, you get a giant bar of colour and the ONE just shouts at you."
