"This is one of the first 500 JP-8's ever manufactured! The condition is excellent, with some wear, but otherwise in perfect playing shape. Recently refurbished to replace some caps and switches, it is up to original specs. I used this exclusively for the Glen Campbell show in the mid 80's, used on the road and on 24 episodes of the Glen Campbell Show from 1982-83. It was given to me when the band was broken up. This comes with the Roland MB-8 Midi-DCB & interface mod. Also (Optional) FREE Anvil case for traveling (Seen some road travel) Shipping will be adjusted for weight.. The Jupiter-8 includes balanced stereo XLR outputs as well as unbalanced 1/4" outputs. In addition to monophonic and polyphonic modes, the Jupiter-8 includes a unique polyphonic unison mode, in which all 16 oscillators can be stacked onto one note but divide down if more keys are pressed. No other polyphonic synthesizer at the time had this feature. The posted video shows true detail, any scratches are clearly visible. This video is in two sections: the first 7 minutes show sound samples and programming, the last 5 minutes shows closeup physical inspection on the surface of the unit."

Ambient Frippertronics Acoustic Guitar with MS-20 Mini

Published on Dec 19, 2016 Stephen Hummel

"Episode 3 of the 'Circuits and Strings' series from subtractiveLAD aka: Stephen Hummel.

I wanted to try a Frippertronics-style jam but using an acoustic guitar, instead of the more conventional electric guitar.

My Taylor 310ce is electroacoustic so I am able to patch it directly into my pedalboard, which can be pretty inspiring. I have tuned the Taylor to DADGAD. For this performance I have the guitar running into my Ernie Ball VP Jr, then into the Strymon TimeLine and then into the Walrus Audio Descent reverb pedal. My pedalboard is then patched directly to my Boss RE-20 Space Echo, which is functioning as my tape looper for this jam. The Space Echo is set to a delay time of somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 seconds to achieve the looping effect. During the performance, you will see me shifting the parameters of the Descent with an expression pedal and tweaking the settings on the TimeLine and Space Echo to achieve various spacial effects. I performed an overdub on the Korg MS-20 Mini to add low frequency accents - the synth is also going through the Space Echo but used only as a simple delay. Some additional mixing/subtle processing was done in Reaper."

Sasame Yuki - A modular improvisation on the MODULOR114 synthesizer.

Published on Dec 19, 2016 Davide Mancini

"A short improvisation on my MODULOR114 synth based on a quantizer generated arpeggio. The VCO2 in LFO mode enters the S&H and, through an attenuator and the quantizer, determines the pitch of the VCO1. The clock drives the S&H and the GATE of the envelope. The starting sound is a rectangular wave that gets modulated (you can hear it when I start to turn teh first knob) on the PWM by the envelope. Soon I substitute the squarewave with the triangular, shortening the attack and finally adding resonance for a more percussive quality of the sound. Toward the end everything gets slowed down, the square returns and the echo gets intrusive...
A small nod to the Master Jun'ichiro Tanizaki."

Moog Opus 3 Synthesizer Overview

Published on Dec 19, 2016 ProckGnosis

"WARNING: yet another LENGTHY, "for synth geeks" focused vid (see menu below to select other parts of the video). Also another sort-of retro review (like the Yamaha CS-5 overview), this time with the Moog Opus 3, an underrated polyphonic/paraphonic Moog synth from the early 80's. Great for the 70's "string machine" style chorus sounds and some punchy, synthy sounds running through that 24dB Moog filter. Though the synth is a bit limited in capability, it makes up for it in the "how it sounds" department.

And just in case it wasn't clear the couple times I mentioned it in the video, the reworked ProckGnosis opening theme was done entirely with the Moog Opus 3 and some Reason drums."

Adventures in Synthesis: Glitchy Shift Register Feedback

Published on Dec 19, 2016 Chris Beckstrom

"I'm finishing up a techno album at the moment (which we be available for free at chrisbeckstrom.bandcamp.com soon!), and thought it would be refreshing to make some nonrhythmic music with my modular. This is a patch that some might not even consider music- and that's ok. We can agree to disagree.

These glitchy, distorted blips and beeps are a pretty good aural expression of how I feel about 2016.

PATCH NOTES
This patch is based on a bunch of feedback: things modulating other things modulating other things which eventually find their way back and modulate the first thing. When I try to do this on the computer I end up crashing everything. With analog circuits there is nothing to crash: it sounds awesome.

The pitch of an oscillator is modulated by the output of an R/2R resistor ladder, which is receiving gate signals from a 4-step shift register. The shift register is clocked by a square oscillator. The input of the shift register- the thing that gets it going, so to speak- is the output of a clock divider which is listening to the triangle wave coming out of the original oscillator. (It's not really a triangle wave- it's more of a rounded square wave, so the clock divider has no trouble spitting out divisions.) In this way there is a feedback loop: the oscillator speed is controlling its own rate of modulation! This accounts for the periods of silence or relative stasis. A few times throughout the video I make the oscillator go faster, which in turn modulates itself more, causing more activity. Turning the big oscillator knob to the left slows everything down.

Two wave outputs of the main oscillator- square and triangle- are routed into three inputs of a sequential switch. The third input to this sequential switch is the output of a saw wave oscillator. This saw wave oscillator's pitch is modulated by a 10 step sequencer, which in turn is clocked by the pulse output of the main oscillator. The sequential switch is clocked by another divided output of the main oscillator, again causing a feedback loop. The fourth input to the switch is the output of a module I call "space noise," which is really just a bunch of square wave oscillators making clicking sounds. I often use it for random modulation at slower rates; at faster rates, it's just noisy clicking.

As the sequential switch steps through each of its four channels, we're basically hearing each input in order: first the "space noise" clicking, then the main square wave oscillator, then the saw wave, then finally the triangle from the main oscillator. When the sequential switch is clocked slowly, we can hear each wave as if we were muting and unmuting four channels on a mixer in order. At fast speeds (audio rates) we hear the four outputs as a single wave. This phenomenon- things sounding completely different depending how quickly we hear them- never ceases to amaze and entertain me.

Finally, the saw oscillator (step three in the sequential switch) is being modulated by another 10 step sequencer, which is in turn clocked with yet another square wave oscillator. The clock divider which is clocking the sequential switch is receiving reset messages (gates) from the "space noise" module, which causes the clock division to become a bit random and glitchy.

The mono output of the modular goes into a mixer and some of the modular is sent to a vintage (90's!) Alesis Microverb II digital reverb, which is brought back into the mixer on two channels for some nice stereo. I like the combination of gritty analog sounds and gritty digital reverb. The Microverb came from a church, and I can guarantee they never put anything like these sounds through it."

"Farfalle Bianche" - theme with JP-8, OB-Xa, DMX, MSQ-700

Published on Dec 18, 2016 SynthMania

"This song is born from a memory that I have as a child. I spent the summers of my childhood in the late 1970s in Punta Ala, a nice coastal town in Italy. There were many meadows where kids, including me, played. In the summer, there were lots of beautiful white butterflies, and we children had so much fun looking at them and chasing them. This theme is dedicated to those butterflies, in remembrance of those happy days, and has influences of the music I heard in those days, especially John Barry's theme to "The Persuaders", the "Guardiano del Faro", and a bit of later Synth Pop. I used two of my favorite synths in combination, the Jupiter-8 and the OB-Xa. Thank you and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed composing this piece."
