Minimoog Model D Reissue 2016 First Sounds! (Raw Footage)

Published on Jun 1, 2016 fredturd

http://www.moogmusic.com

This one spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child. Video description from fredturd:

"Here it is the audio everyone has been requesting! Listen to the noodling (albeit lame) on the new 2016 Minimoog Model D Reissue at the Moogfest Moog Music Pop-up Factory.

Impromptu performance - I only had a few minutes to get the audio. Also, a friend helped with the video because I did not have a tripod for a steady closeup. Please note that the sound is highly compressed on YouTube and sounds much better at the source.

Audio: Zoom H4n (wav), re-encoded to mp3
Video: Nikon D750
Mixed with Avidemux 2.6.7

For more fun, turn on your oscilloscope and look at the waveforms."

Very quick and dirty Crowminius demo. This is an excellent minimoog PCB, designed by the Old Crow

Published on Feb 12, 2016

"PCB designed by the Old Crow. This excellent minimoog based synth is a very cool operator. Very faithful replication of the original model E. Lovely bass and nice leads. I built the PCB into my own case and designed panels. It also has a sequencer included. I was going to add a RAT distortion and space echo but basically ran out of internal space."

More Distortion!

"I have wanted to do this video for a while now. The Arturia Microbrute is 1st going into the Boss Hyper Fuzz, then the DOD Death Metal distortion, then the Digitech Grunge and finally the Digitech Weapon. In case you are wondering, then is about half of my distortion pedal collection, but if I added more distortion pedals, it would have gotten too messy."

Upcoming Dato DUO Mini Dual Hardware Synth and Sequencer Adds MIDI Support

Some great news in via the Dato DUO Kickstarter campaign. The Dato DUO will have both MIDI In and Out support!

"We received many requests for MIDI on the Dato DUO. The DUO already plays nicely with other gear like Volca's and Pocket Operators but we agree that just syncing isn't enough.

We have been crunching the numbers and stretching our design skills for the last few days and we have good news for you: we will be including full-size MIDI IN and OUT connectors on every Dato DUO!

Using the output, you will be able to use the DUO's sequencer to play notes on other MIDI gear. The input will be used to enter notes into the sequencer or play the synth. This makes the Dato DUO suitable for serious music production too.

We'd love to hear which MIDI gear you will be hooking up to the DUO!"

You can reach out to them via the contact link on their Kickstarter campaign page here. They are currently at $16,025 of their $67,062 goal with 25 days to go. If you are interested in seeing this fun little synth happen consider giving your support. Even if you can't afford to purchase one now, you can support them for as little as €5/$6.

P.S. You'll find a banner for them on the top right section here on MATRIXSYNTH. You can get to their campaign page anytime by clicking on it.

Experimenting with the VBrazil Systems Modules

Published on Jun 1, 2016 Ícaro Ferre

"My goal for this patch was to try to create an interesting patch using my VBrazil Systems modules (Aether Oscillator, MultiLFO and Lizard 2 mk2) and some Intellijel modules (Triatt, µVCA, and µScale).

While this may not sound extremely musical to some people, this patch can easily be modified to be a lot simpler and 'standard'.

Here's a brief explanation of the patch: Lizard2 is being used as a Sequencer and 8-stage switcher. The sequencer output is being attenuated by the Intellijel Triatt and quantized by the Intellijel µScale mk2.

The sine output of the Aether VCO is going straight into the Intellijel µVCA and the output of the Lizard 2's switcher is patched into the FM input of the Aether. The other outputs of the Aether Oscillator were patched into the 8 inputs of the Lizard 2's switcher.

In order to create an envelope for my synth voice, I'm using the LFO 1 in the MultiLFO module as a simple AR envelope. I've managed to achieve satisfactory results by setting the waveform to SAW, frequency to LOW, and patching the Square output of Lizard 2 into the HSYNC input of the LFO 1 (to trigger the envelope).

The output of the LFO 1 is then patched into the CV input of the µVCA.

LFOs 2 and 3 from the MultiLFO module are also being used to control LFO 1's Frequency / length (via CV Width input) and Phase (shape).

I apologize for the video quality. I had to record it with my iPad so the quality is not amazing.

"Up for sale is rare Korg SIGMA KP-30 Vintage Analog Synthesizer. There were only 1,000 of these made in 1979, with each units having its serial number plate on the front panel. This one has a very low serial # 0062.

The unit appears to be working fine as I tested, all the keys and knobs and switches working fine. I noticed there is a bit of scratch noise on some of the knobs with slightly unstable pitch when controlling joystick pitch bend, which could probably do with some adjustment/servicing.

Cosmetically its in nice condition as you can see. There are some wear and minor marks here and there, but nothing major. I'm including plenty of pictures so you can see exactly how it looks.

Comes in Original Hard Case as shown."

DSP Synthesizers DSP-GPLUG 5 Voice Paraphonic ANalog Modeling MIDI Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"The dsp-Gplug synthesizer is a full analog modelling MIDI synthesizer hosted inside the MIDI plug. The Gplug requires no extra power but draws its power from the MIDI port.

On the other end is a 3.5mm phono plug with a stereo linelevel output. The left and right channel are identical so it is a mono output.

The synth is 5-voice paraphonic with 3 DCO’s per voice, a +24dB resonant lowpass filter, 2 envelope generators and a LFO with triangle and sample&hold waveforms. The DCO’s are TRI-PULSE-SAW morphing oscillators with range, detune and wrap parameters. The wrapping is a form of pulse width adjustment that works on any waveform.

Note This doesn’t work with all MIDI devices but should work with most.

For the MIDI ghost power to work Pin-2, Gnd, must be connected in the MIDI-OUT

connector and MIDI cables must have a minimum of 3 wires

This has not been used however to me it appears to be shaped oddly. (see attached pictures). Comes with the user Manual v1.0 manual"

Roland SH-7 SN 710628

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

via this auction

"The SH-7 is a rare and great sounding duo-phonic analog synth from the late 70’s. It has that great classic look, sound and feel of the early Roland products.

A very flexible vintage synthesizer which allows each user to creatively modulate and tweak the sounds. Mixer allows colouring of each sounds which also can be used to distort sounds. This amazing piece of unit is the perfect key to techno sounds and effects.

The biggest SH series non modular synth. A mixture of a bit SH5 and System 100 but still different. 2 real ADSR Envs, filter FM and a weak but strange sync sound. Duophonic but not 2 voices, so VCO1 and VCO2 can be controlled by the keyboard.
Has an extra sample and hold. one LFO can trigger ENV(s). Has external input, fast Envelopes and nice resonance with the help of filter FM by OSC2 or noise mod. There is a special mixer in VCO1 (a) ranging from 32' to 2' like the SH-3A and lets you mix square waves of each octave range (plus the VCO1 selected wave called VCO (b) )

The SH7 is the flag ship of the SH Series. Both Envelopes can be triggered by LFO, keyboard or both, the VCF can be modulated by 5 sources switchable to another alternative, so it's 10 but not at the same time: env1 (positive and negative polarity), LFO, or S/H, keytrack or pedal, VCO2 or Noise, Envelope follower (positive, negative polarity)

This unit is full working order and in very nice condition too."

Roland System 500 Basslines & Sequences Demo by INHALT

Published on Jun 1, 2016 INHALTVIDEO

"We were very excited at the prospect of a brand new analogue modular synth from Roland, so when the collaboration between Malekko and Roland was announced, we were keen to grab our hands on the System 500. As long time users of the Roland System 100m and various other Roland monosynths, to our ears, the System 500 had a lot to live up to. However, we were very pleasantly surprised upon first patching. While far more aggressive than the vintage units, the new System 500 brings that familiar Roland mid range and those super snappy envelopes back to the fold. What you hear are excerpts from a stereo recording of the System 500 with a Korg SQ1 sequencer. It was initially recorded to a Sony PCM field recorder and then transferred to Pro Tools HD for editing. We've added a bit of reverb from an Eventide H7600, but what you're predominantly hearing is the raw System 500 sound. No post processing was performed to the audio track itself and it is largely the direct output of the System 500 into the Sony PCM."

SH-101 + Oberkorn + uScale + BD808 + RS808 = Eurorack Hybrid

Published on May 31, 2016 n3bsvid

"[ http://citizenpark.bandcamp.com ]

In this video I jam with a hybrid setup involving a Roland SH-101, a small eurorack system and an Oberkorn MK3 analog sequencer.

Patch breakdown:
The Oberkorn sequences everything. Its 2 gate outputs trigger the BD808 and RS808 drum modules while the clock output gates the SH-101. The first CV channel from the oberkorn is quantized by the uScale 2 which then feeds into the SH-101's CV input. This allows me to have musical notes regardless of how the knobs are set on the sequencer.

Everything is then mixed through a samson mixer (off screen) and fed into an Apogee Duet interface. I then record in Ableton Live and apply a dash of ValhallaDSP reverb (which I also tweak in real time, but you can't see my hand in the video).
