New Synthesizers.com Q114 Mixer ++

Published on Oct 11, 2017 synthesizersdotcom

"Hosted by Roger Arrick of Synthesizers.com"

via Synthesizers.com

"The Q114 Mixer++ is a 4-channel mixer, a dual 2-channel mixer, and a signal distributor in a single-wide MU format module. The Q114 also provides many processing functions including signal inverting, amplifying and offsetting.
The unique design connects channels together until you insert a plug. This allows various combinations of mixing, distributing and processing simultaneously.

Each channel's knob attenuates its input from 0% to 100%, and the toggle switch sets an optional function. Use X1 for normal mixing.

Several Q114 Mixer++ modules can be daisy-chained together for 8, 12 or more channels.

The rules of operation are simple and powerful:

Input and output jacks are switching jacks. Inserting a plug breaks the connection to the next channel. This allows an amazing variety of mixing and processing possibilities in a small space.

INPUTS
Without a plug inserted into an input, that channel receives its signal from the input above it. When a plug is inserted into an input, that channel receives its signal from the plug. The first input is 5 volts without a plug inserted.

OUTPUTS
Without a plug inserted into an output, that output is mixed into the next channel below it. When a plug is inserted into an output, the processing of that channel is sent out, and the signal is not mixed into the next channel, the chain is broken.

Intellijel Plonk Modal Synth Sounds

Published on Oct 11, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"In this video we use three Intellijel Plonks to make a variety of percussion and melodic sounds.

Plonk from Intellijel is a modal synthesizer voice that uses physical modelling to create a wide variety of percussive and textural timbres. The module's modal synthesis engine, developed with the help of Applied Acoustic Systems, allows for realistic emulation of plates, membranes, strings and beams. The module also features a compact design that relies on an OLED screen that can be used to both configure parameters as well as view live modulation patterns of the waveforms being generated by the module. Fans of Mutable Instruments Rings will be right at home with this unique resonator unit.

Sigma!

Published on Oct 11, 2017 zack dagoba

"My new Korg Sigma. I wanted to try sequencing it, and as I don't have an appropriate Hz-to-Volt analog sequencer (mine are all Volt-per-Octave) I had to rig up a really cumbersome workaround. This involved using the Moog 960 sequencer to output V/Oct CV out to the Kenton CV-to-MIDI converter which output MIDI to the Future Retro Mobius sequencer MIDI input which converted to Hz/V to be sent to the CV input of the Sigma. PHEW! The drums were patched on the Moog Modular. See http://myblogitsfullofstars.blogspot.... for more"

Lyra-8 Expressive Lead with SEM Pro, Semblance and Taurus III Sequencing

Published on Oct 11, 2017 martinjazz78

"For your maximum pleasure use good speakers or good headphones while watching/listening to this video.

I openly admit I am still very far from mastering Lyra-8 on at least intermediate level. At the moment, I don't think I am able to predict more than 60% of what's going to happen in the next moment, if I tweak this knob, switch or change this or that on the instrument. But still it produces so expressive and inspiring sounds no matter what, so you just want to play it. As most of the videos I saw before I decided to order Lyra-8 were Lyra-8 as solo instruments, I am also very happy and glad Lyra integrates so naturally and easily into the rest of my set up.

This video is an excerpt from about two hours long improvisation/dawless synth jam. In this segment I managed to turn Lyra-8 into what I would call expressive lead synth, but I have no problem, if you disagree with such label in the context of this video and how Lyra-8 sounds in it. Anyway the rest of the set up is SEM Pro by Tom Oberheim, Semblance by Analogue Solutions and Taurus III Bass Pedals - all sequenced by Cirklon hardware sequencer. Additionally there is also Elements Synthesizer by Ken Macbeth producing self-generated and beautifully organic sounds. Lyra-8, SEM Pro, Semblance and Taurus III are also processed through Strymon Big Sky for reverb and SEM Pro with Semblance also through the vintage tape Roland Space Echo for delay.

Enjoy ;)"

New Rytmik Studio Seeks Funding on Indiegogo

2049 by Martin Linda (Rytmik Studio Demo Song) Published on Oct 9, 2017 Rytmik Studio

"A demo song created in the upcoming Rytmik Studio. Rytmik Studio is in development for quite long time. The new version of Rytmik is now at a point where we can accelerate development, and we need your support to achieve this. Support us at Indiegogo."

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

You might be familiar with previous incarnations of Rytmik, including Rytmik Ultimate for iPad, Rytmik World Music for Nintendo DSi & 3DS, and Rytmik Original Edition (and here), and Rytmik Rock Edition. The Rytmik DSIWare teaser was first posted here on MATRIXSYNTH back in 2010.

The are now running on Indigogo campaign for Rytmik Studio. The following are some details including the updates to previous incarnations you can expect.

"Third Generation (2017)
Rytmik Studio. That's what we are working on, and you can now support it. The jump between the second and the third generation is huge. For more specific information, please see the list of features and the description of the internal architecture of our sound engine. We are currently developing this version for PC and Mac. It will be available on Steam in Early Access later this year. The final version of Rytmik Studio will be available in 2018."


"What is Rytmik Studio?

Simply put, it's a music creation software based around a beautifully simple, yet wonderfully powerful concept. It’s flexible, instant and fun. Create a basic melody in a few steps, compose a great song in a few minutes, and show your musical flare with a whole range of instruments and effects. Rytmik Studio combines a step sequencer and a wavetable synthesizer. All this is supported by a built-in library with over 1200 samples, hundreds of instrument presets and dozens of sample songs. The results of your production can be instantly shared online, or exported to more traditional audio file formats. Rytmik Studio allows you to set different permissions and save songs to the Rytmik Cloud for users to enjoy, from simple playback and rating to remixing and collaborations. Take a song and watch how it evolves as it passes through the hands of more composers and their creative input.

Why IndieGoGo?
We have been developing games and applications for over 19 years. In 2010, we started developing the music application Rytmik for Nintendo DSi. Over time, we added new features and improved existing ones. As Rytmik grew, so did technology, and we took advantage of the more powerful hardware that became available. The latest version, Rytmik Ultimate, is available for Windows, MacOS, Nintendo 3DS, and iPad. We are now currently developing the third generation of Rytmik: Rytmik Studio.

The community behind Rytmik is growing, and we have two clear objectives. Firstly, we would like to complete Rytmik Studio sooner. Secondly, we want to involve the community in shaping the development itself. In today‘s digital age, a togetherness of development and community is essential for everybody. The new version of Rytmik Studio is now at a point where we can accelerate development, and we need your support to achieve this.

analogue synthesizer demo 5

Published on Oct 11, 2017 Synthe_64

"This is my fifth demo. I added some percussion. The basic percussion comes from the RMIF Elsita analogue drumsynthesiser. Extra percussion accents are produced by the Pittsburgh modular with the use of a Doepfer Random voltage generator.The sequencer line is done by the Moog Minimoog in combination with the Doepfer Dark Time. Other synths are the Korg Polysix, Roland VP330 plus-MKI, the Multivox MX-2000, the Doepfer Dark Energy MKI and the Korg Monotribe.
Mixing and FX is done by two Behringer mixers, an Alesis Microverb 3 and an EHX Small Stone phaser. The used mike for the vocoder is a Shure PG57.
I don't use midi. No prerecording used."
