SynthFest UK 2017 Videos by DivKidVideo


Published on Oct 9, 2017 DivKidVideo

1. AJH Synth Mega-Phase 12 // Synthfest 2017
Allan from AJH Synth continues to absolutely knock it out of the park (his other modules are gorgeous!) with the new Mega-Phase 12 phaser module. This is a reimagining of the phaser with a multi stage rotary selector and a unique separate emphasis stage tap. Allowing you to create classic 4 stage EHX small stone style phasing through a range of other phaser tones but you can tap the resonant emphasis from a separate stage to the total stages selected. This allows for unique phase cancellation and tonal changes allowing the Mega-Phase 12 to create a wide range of phasing sounds and FX.

2. AJH Synth Finale R-EQ // SynthFest 2017
Video 2 of 3 from AJH Synth at SynthFest UK 2017. Here's the Finale R-EQ which offers aural exciting and maximising of the low and high frequencies alongside a 4 band EQ and basic reverbs that are suited to synths all of which comes together to act as a "back end" for a synth voice (although I'm sure it's great on other sounds too as all the AJH modules are stupidly good!).

3. AJH Synth Gemini 2412 // Synthfest 2017
This is the third and final video / new product from AJH Synth at Synthfest UK 2017 in Sheffield. The Gemini 2412 is a dual state variable filter based on the classic SEM filter. There's a lot of tricks not often seen include series cascaded and parallel use of the filters, filter CV mixing that scales to each filter, a dual frequency control, totally independent dual filter use (should you wise) and a CV-able mix between the two. There's also CV-able resonance which is rare on SEM style filters.

"This is a rare board in the states. I only tested the sounds, buttons and inputs, this board is too complicated to test any further than that. There are two headphone jacks on the left corner, the bottom jack works, but the top jack is not producing any sound, it could be a special operating procedure."

Odd regarding having two headphone jacks.

Strumming the Continuum


Published on Oct 9, 2017 Christophe Duquesne

"I started designing a strumming preset for the Continuum some weeks ago. At first it was mainly a game ("is it possible to do it ?"), but it appears to be very fun to play ! so here is a small demo of it.

Every sound (except drums) is coming from the Continuum (the effect processing is done internally using the layer feature, one preset processing the output of another one). The main preset is using the Touche feature of the Continuum and the Touche area is using all 3 axis: X for strumming, Z for strumming harder, and Y for damping. So that's 3 axis for both hands. The little black bar on the left side is just to help staying in the strumming area (if you start strumming outside of the area, it will not strum at all).

This demo is very 'guitar style' (Ok, you can say I'm a frustrated guitar player) but of course one of the interesting thing will be to play that way with all sorts of sounds."

Life Has Value (Synthstrom Audible Deluge Trance Jam)


Published on Oct 8, 2017 Rephazer

"Just a quick little trance jam with the Deluge testing out the power of the dsp/cpu and voice limit.

I got quite far to be honest before it started breaking up voices (hi-hats) at around 4:40, but I quickly disabled one of the 3 background pads each featuring heavy modulation/reverb and delay so it's not really noticeable I think.

Also let's not forget that I use filters, eq, panning modulation, delay and reverb on almost every track/sound so I think it's safe to say that the Deluge is a very capable groovebox considering you can resample/record tracks to free up dsp power if needed.

I still have to test the midi side of things, but when it comes to the synth/sampler and sound quality of this machine.. It's a keeper for me!"
