Praise for Synth Tech Mike Metz of Thesis Audio

This one in via MATRIXSYNTH reader Neil Hetrick:

"This posting is a sort-of combination THANK YOU and glowing review for expert synth technician Mike Metz of Thesis Audio Service (Wichita, KS). Mike recently refurbished my prized Roland JUPITER-6 synth, giving it a total overhaul so that it would be in top shape for the next couple decades or more.

I'm lucky to own a near-mint-condition JP-6, and Mike is far and away the most careful synthesizer tech I've ever found, handling every repair & restoration project with the utmost precision, care & expertise. I don't doubt that he could take on just about any project out there and come out with top-flight results (just check his page on vintage synth restorations for the proof). So I knew my instrument would be in the most capable hands when I shipped it off (providing FedEx could get it there and back without damage... I constructed a HUGE box just for the purpose, and even took out an insurance policy, just in case...).

Here's a quick rundown of the work Mike performed to bring my synth back up to top condition:
Cleaned chassis & all PC boards
Replaced 2-voice card main VCA chip (CEM3360)
Repaired solder connections for arpeggiator section LEDs
Replaced all main power supply capacitors
Cleaned all main & mod-panel controls & switches, lubricated all sliders, replaced slider dust felts
Replaced back-up battery w/ socket
Cleaned all rear panel jacks
Complete checkout

THANKS again to Mike Metz @ Thesis Audio !!"

2 x Rhodes Chroma Analog Poly Synths with CC+ MIDI & Extras

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

via this auction

"The Chroma is a rare thing, a 35 year old analog synth thats still supported by the original engineer and a group of dedicated Chroma fans. There is a very active Chroma group managed via www.rhodeschroma.com with a lot of interesting discussion and activity.

Chroma 1 is fully functional, new PSU and CC+ upgrade installed latest CC+ OS ROM installed V2.18. Complete with pedals and MIDI interface.

Chroma 2 is not functional. Has a new PSU and CC+ upgrade already installed but needs CMOS chips replaced on voice and controller boards and a good calibration. There is a CC+ OS ROM v2.18 included but not installed. There is also a spare v2.14 ROM from Chroma 1.

Included in this package are 2 sets of footpedals, 2 CC+ MIDI interfaces, a Behrringer BCR2000 with 2 Chromatrol adhesive overlays. There is a sysex avail;abe file to set up the BCR2000 which will operate as a dedicated programmer. I had intended to use two BCR's one for each layer, but didn't get around to purchasing the 2nd BCR, hence the two overlays. You can use one BCR for both layers, switching between via a dedicated switch. There are also two component complete Chroma voice cards and these need calibrating."

E-mu xl-7 (proteus 2000) acting wavetableish

Published on Jan 2, 2017 Mike Perkowitz

I thought this was pretty interesting as most PCM based synths do not allow you to modulate through oscillator waveshapes like on classic PPG & Waldorf wavetable synths. I reached out to Mike to find out exactly what was going on here. Here's what he had to say:

"It's crossfading through 8 different waveforms in succession. The e-mu doesn't let you modulate actual waveform selection, but you can assign 4 different waves to the 4 layers of a patch, and then set up a thing that lets you sweep through them, crossfading from one to the next (it's called realtime crossfade in the manual). in effect, it's a lot like one of the PPG wavetables where it interpolates from one wave to the next gradually. I have it set up so that one of the knobs is assigned to the crossfade position directly. I also have an LFO assigned to the crossfade position, with knob control over the rate and depth. I also have an AD envelope assigned to the crossfade, with knob control over attack, decay, and depth. Finally, I layered two of these patches, with the crossfades set up so that they cover the entire crossfade range with their combined 8 waves, and I chose some metallic, ppg-sounding waves for part of it. it took some meticulous programming, but now that I have a patch set up, it's fairly easy to try out different waves in the 8 positions and to play with different modulators."

I own a Morpheus myself and was curious if this was possible on it. I know, I know, I should know this owning one, and being mr. matrix and all, but I never got around to it. Mike, however, did know, and had the following to say:

"Aside from the filters, the Morpheus is a lot less sophisticated. You can't do this kind of stuff with a Morpheus -- it only has two layers per patch, and it doesn't have a whole lot in the way of interesting modulation, aside from the function generators. http://blog.perkowitz.net/2015/07/06/the-e-mu-morpheus-review-20-years-later/

The proteus-2000 synths are really, really deep, with a very good collection of waves for making synth sounds (especially if you get the XL-1 rom; I'm guessing the vintage rom is great too). The editing is not great, in various ways, and the very important edit knobs don't seem to hold up well, but it can do a lot if you put in the time."

Trigger Riot + QuantiZer + Z8000

Trigger Riot + QuantiZer + Z8000 from Station 252 on Vimeo.

"Circadian Rhythms plays BD808 and clocks Trigger Riot from track 1 to swing it and Z8000 (horizontal snake), which is clocked from Trigger Riot with high probability division of one and 100% probability division of three the same clock also triggers 2x Z4000s (filter and VCA) and the Quantizer. One Trigger Riot out resets the snake and one clocks horizontal ch.4 for transpositions. A couple of presets on Trigger Riot to store variations. At some point, I stop transpositions from the TR and manually change scales on the quantizer. I also manually change octaves with the slider.

The high hats sound is a white noise from maracas module aslo sequenced from the Trigger Riot"

Unka's "Todd Barton patch test for iVCS3"

Published on Aug 2, 2016 UnkaTom

"This is me testing out Todd Bartons patch he made a few days ago on a REAL VCS3 (suitcase) in my lowly iVCS3 iPad clone.

He provided a patch diagram but I think real VCOs trounce the tiny capabilities of iVCS3 ... mercilessly. I was quite careful about the settings but clearly the suitcase has a differing patch matrix (you can see it if you check his vid). [posted here]

Anyway, Todd was very generous to share the patch (a true educator) thus I wanted to see if the iVCS3 could come near it.... Bwaaaahahahahahaaaa oh well, it's still fun.

Unlocking synth mysteries is cool!"

"Classic Oberheim OBX 8 voice polyphonic polysynth in good condition and fully working from 1979 that's extremely rare.

Used famously for its wide distinctive various sounds in the early 80s by Earth Wind and Fire, Queen flash and another one bites the dust sounds, Those big deep haunting dark sounds on The Police Ghost in the machine album from 1981, Roxy music to Killing Joke and Japan tin drum to lush sounds on later songs like on Nena 99 red balloons and KC and Sunshine band Give it up. I've used this a lot over the last 3 years and it has really stood out as something special.

I have had this fully overhauled a few years ago, it has a very fast tune up time and of course it sounds fantastic. I've programmed some great sounds worth keeping, it's very lush and big sounding and crazy sounding that can be very interesting and very out if you like those Sci fi sounds from that era. It has X mod on that's rare on synths from this time and when in unison mode thats like thunder and lighting crashing down. It has 2 VCOs, LFO with sine, square and S and H wave forms with a extra high and low pass filter."
