Noise Reap Bermuda Eurorack VCO Demo

Published on Dec 23, 2016 FatSynthDude

"I made this one with the focus being on the pair of Noise Reap Bermuda's I received today. These are fairly simple triangle-core oscillators with triangle, sine, and pulse wave outputs. What makes them different from other VCO's is that there's a control onboard to route the triangle wave back into the core. It's a simple trick that a lot of oscillators can do already with some self-patching, but it's neat that it's a built-in modulation here with a built-in attenuator. For those that have never tried feeding an oscillator back into itself, this results in distortions in the waveform. It's a trick that a lot of people forget exists, so it's handy to have a dedicated knob for it. The other special feature is the price. These are only $65 each. In my brief experience with them so far, they're fairly stable and track CV very well. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison to my other oscillators yet, but it will be interesting to see how they compete against the more expensive ones. Regardless of how well they compare, I'd say they're worth the phenomenally low price.

So for this composition, the Bermudas handle the bass synth and the lead synth. The Bassier one is ran through the 4075 and the lead goes through the Polivoks filter.

Kraftwerk 'The Robots' (Ed Zuccollo talkbox cover)

Published on Dec 23, 2016 Ed Zuccollo

"Talkbox cover of The Robots by Kraftwerk.
Music video production, props, costumes, filming and editing done by the wonderful folks at Renegade Peach Project. All props and shots made in one day.
All synths (Minimoog, MS-20), talkbox, drum programming, production, mixing and mastering by Ed Zuccollo 2014.
www.edzuccollo.com
www.renegadepeach.com"

And what you are hearing:

"The Minimoog is the acid bass (I chopped each note manually to get it techno-tight), the lead motif, all the pads EXCEPT the robot speak breakdowns (Ja tvoi sluga, Ja tvoi Rabotnik robotnik) where all the synth sounds are made with the MS-20. Also the long bass in the last section (nobody owns me, nobody sells me) is MS-20. I use the MS-20 for the talkbox, because it has a high pass filter which allows me to clear up the tone of the talkbox a lot, removing frequencies that can't be reproduced by the driver in it anyway."

Roland TR-606 through Aira Bitrazer & Demora FX modulated by Moog CP-251

Published on Dec 23, 2016 zibbybone

"Further experimentation led to this video. Here we have the 606 running through two effect units. The 606's Low Tom trigger out is triggering the Bitrazer's Bypass and the 606's High Tom is triggering the Demora's Bypass giving delay effect on the back beats. Then I run the Moog's LFO into various control voltage inputs on the effect units to add to the mayhem. Oh, and after the 5 minute mark, there's a bonus: my 9 year-old was messing with this rig while I was tearing things down and I liked something he did, so I wired everything back up and tweaked it."

How to learn Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer - Tutorial: FM synthesis Sound Design Tub Bells Part 3

Published on Dec 23, 2016 Power DX7

"This is a fourth tutorial of the FM synthesis tutorial series that I’m planning. As I need to cater for a wider audience, I decided to create this ‘how to’ tutorial series from the very beginning, starting from the very basics of the FM synthesis and Yamaha DX7 synthesizer.

Continuing on from the Part 2, I will revise the DX7 envelop generator as it can be complex and confusing for people new to the FM synthesis. In a nutshell, the DX7 has basically 6 advanced ADSR type envelops. After the revision, I will introduce more Priority Parameters such as Keyboard Rate Scaling, Output Level and Key Velocity Sensitivity. You will learn how the famous Tub Bells patch was created using the FM sound design process."

Analog Rytm vs Tempest: Sound Design Comparison and Demo by Starsky Carr

Published on Mar 26, 2016 Starsky Carr

"I thought a users view of creating sounds on the Tempest and Analog Rytm might be useful to some folks..

There's lots of info about each in various reviews and forums, but if you can't get hands on experience it might be difficult to decide which is best for you.

Hopefully this will give an idea of how you go about making sounds and which suits your workflow and sound design best.

Hope it's useful."

Published on Dec 23, 2016 once upon a synth

"Let's try to synthesize a clap sound on the DSI Pro 2 synthesizer. Synthesizing a clap sound involves two pieces of noise delayed slightly apart and a carful dash of distortion. The clap sound is not as good as a sample but it has its own unique character. Towards the end of the video you can hear the Pro 2's clap in context with a drum beat from the Korg Volca Beats.

Yamaha SY-1 Analogue Synthesiser

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

via this auction

"Great example of the Yamaha SY-1 synthesiser. This is from the mid 1970's and is in brilliant condition for its age.

It works perfectly and sounds lovely and vibrant; has a full synth section with many controls to modify the sounds. It is like a baby CS80 with the ability to imbue a real expressive feel into the sounds thanks to aftertouch(Think Blade runner synth leads)

There are a few marks here and there consistent with a synthesiser of this age, but there is nothing to detract from its beautiful good looks - The wood casing is also in very good condition."

Simple sound going in (as you hear in the video) and one lot of modulation into the Frequency CV.

Roland SYSTEM-8 - SYSTEM100 Plug-out DEMO by Gattobus

Published on Dec 23, 2016 gattobus

"Headphones recommended.
Roland System-8 in performance mode with two layers of System100 Plugout.
The patch was created without using the step sequencer, but taking advantage from the semi-modular structure of System-100 emulation (S&H, LFOs, triggered Envelopes and Ring Mod).
No external FX were added, recorded straight to the audio interface.
The sound is incredibly fat and full... for me it's one of the best analog emulations ever made... I hope you like it."
