PROPHET-6 VS. SUB37: PATCH MATCH (No Talking)

Published on May 22, 2018 MR TUNA Music

"Just a few minutes comparing the sounds of the Dave Smith/Sequential Circuits Prophet-6 with the Moog Sub37 analog synthesizers. Just a simple bass patch and a lot of pointless noodling on the keys. The Sub is definitely darker and meaner but there's a lot to appreciate on either side of the equation--- what's your preference??"

"Keyboard works fully but between 5-6 keys will retrigger on release and one retriggers while depressed. Generally this can’t be heard, but is reflected in the gate light illuminating."

Likely the J-Wires and bar need cleaning.

Synthesizer Show & Tell - Roland Juno-60

Published on May 22, 2018 Steve Learson

Synthesizer Show & Tell EP: 3 Covers the Roland Juno-60.

Each week I challenge myself to write a piece of music using only one synth from my collection, and share some tips and tricks on how to use the instrument.

The Juno 60 is a 6 note DCO polyphonic synth from 1982 with memory storage, designated slider controls, and an arpeggiator. It has been used in many recordings from the 80’s to today.

"This video contains a short piece of music I wrote the first day I obtained this synth. This video highlights some sounds I made along with tips and tricks for the Behringer Model D Analog Synthesizer.

One issue I addressed is how to change the "Low Note Priority" from "Low," to "High," to "Last," which is a problem I could not find the solution to on the internet.

G-STORM ELECTRO 2xADSR Dual Envelope Euorack Module Demo

Published on May 22, 2018 gstormelectro

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c.2018

In this quick demo I show my new 2xADSR DIY Eurorack Module. 2xADSR is a dual envelope module in 8HP based on the Arturia Minibrute. I am playing midi from the Axiom49, using the Pittsburgh MIDI3 module to convert MIDI to Pitch CV and Gate. The gate feeds the 2xADSR. The envelope contour is sent via a buffer mult to control both the Tonus VCF filter cutoff AND Bastl Skis VCA. I interchange the trigger input with the Varigate4 as well. I'm doing all this mainly to show the linear contour characteristic, how long the attack and release can be, and how snappy short decay & release sounds.

The BOM and Schematics for this project can be found on muffwiggler.

PCB/panel: http://reverb.com/shop/gstormelectro"

2xADSR is a dual envelope module in 8HP Eurorack format based on the Arturia Minibrute. Arturia has shared the schematics openly on the internet, so it would seem reasonable to have adapted a fun DIY panel/pcb project for educational purposes under fair use. Each envelope is an independent Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release linear contour. Each envelope takes a gate input and puts out a positive-voltage contour output. I have added a buffered negative-voltage (DC inverted) contour to the circuit. Surface-mount soldering required, I would not recommend this as your very first SMT build - maybe your 2nd or 3rd SMT build though. 1206 resistors and 0805 capacitors, it uses all very affordable and easy-to-find parts as found below in the BOM.

Module Depth: 22mm
Current Measurements: 27mA/+12V, 3mA-12V, 0mA/+5V (not used)

Tips n' Tricks: Unlocking the Moog DFAM's 3rd Oscillator

Published on May 22, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"Welcome to a new series of tutorials called 'Tips n' Tricks', in which I'll be making short tutorials to help you get the most out of your gear! I thought that this would be a better way to share what I've discovered than '5 Things You Didn't Know' videos, as now you can see in the title what the tutorial will be about.

In this video, we trigger the filter envelope so fast that it becomes a 3rd 'oscillator', by turning up the sequencer tempo. As it happens, the tempo tracks nicely at 1V/Oct, allowing us to use it melodically alongside the other oscillators. If you have a buffered mult or more than 1 pitch output on your keyboard, then try playing all 3 oscillators at once for a classic monosynth sound!"

Really too complicated for me to use fully, maybe someone else can fully utilize the amazing capabilities of this device. The blue/indigo colored lights look great in a darkened room or studio.

"A live modular synth performance, recorded in one take with no overdubs. Percussion is from a Mutable Instruments Plaits, switching between the kick, snare, and hihat models. Bass is from a Noise Engineering LIP through a DSI DSM01 filter. Some chords from my Fender Rhodes are loaded into a Make Noise Morphagene. An Instruo Ts-L is modulated by the PWM algorithm of an Erica Synths Pico Voice, running through an Eventide EuroDDL. Reverb is from a Strymon BigSky."

Erica Synths-Pico System 2 Patch 2

"Erica Synths-Pico System 2 Patch 2.
The Erica Synths Pico System II is the world’s smallest modular synthesizer of its functionality, same as the Pico System I. However, as there have been several additions to the Pico Series, for example, the significant Pico Voice, its upgrade the Pico System to make it even more multifarious. There are two new modules in the system: the Pico Voice – a sound source, which gives quite a big timbral diversity, and the Pico Modulator, which replaces the Pico EG and the Pico VCA. That gives us a 3HP free space have filled with one more Pico A MIX for more handy control of the sound sources in live performances."
