DIY Roland GR-700 Software Version Upgrade

via Wayne Joness where you'll find the download and how to upgrade.

"For the really ambitious GR-700 owner, I have uploaded BIN files for the Roland GR-700 version 1.4 and version 1.5 operating system. Version 1.5 is faster than the previous versions, and includes a new set of factory patches. This version also supports MIDI Input, but I do not have the details on the required hardware modifications."

Left: "G-707 User Kyle downloaded the Overlay template last month and made his own cool G-707 Overlay. Nice work!"

Note the GR-700 has the same analog synth engine as the Roland JX-3P.

New Shrolca Digital Wavecycle Shruthi Synthesizer on Kickstarter

Via Kickstarter where you'll find additional videos and details.

Cool synth art below!

"The Shrolca is one of the most powerful synthesizers for it's size made today. The foundation is the Mutable Instrument's Shruthi. The Shruthi has a powerful sound engine and analog filter. This offering is no different. It has the same Digital wavecycle oscillators and sequencers and modulation matrix with a classic transistor ladder 24dB voltage controlled filter. Our other inspiration was the popular Korg line on mini synthesizers, the Volca series. We have included a touch activated MIDI keyboard that makes performances in the closet fun! The prototype featured on this campaign page has a wooden box but, the production unit will have a machined aluminum body that is less than an inch deep.

The keyboard, sequencer and arp can all transmit midi data to the midi output. Please see videos below for rundown of options and info on some of the many capabilities of the synth.

Other improvements included in the production unit will be: thicker flat black coating to the faceplate, thicker solder for the touchplates, and higher quality materials used for the faceplate. There will also be a eurorack mounting frame with cv i/o available as a separate accessory.

manual

Risks and challenges

We have been working on this synthesizer for a little over two years, the only challenge we have left will be to have the units manufactured. These have been prototyped multiple times and we are satisfied with the results. We already have quotes and machine time reserved to manufacture and have ready to ship by October."

DSI Prophet X Sounds

Published on Jun 1, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Dave Smith Instruments brought a pre-production Prophet X by our shop in Burbank and we were able to record some sounds from it. Since this is a pre-production model there might be some changes to the presets and faceplate on the final unit. The Prophet X combines two analog and two digital oscillators that can playback samples. A sample library from 8DIO is built into the Prophet X so you have a large library of instrument sounds available. The Prophet X has analog filters and 8 voices of stereo or 16 mono voices.

MIDI Designer Pro Programming Interface For MakeNoise 0-Coast

Published on Jun 1, 2018 The Drümünkey

MakeNoise 0-Coast iPad editor.

"This is a video offering some basic explanation of a little MIDI Designer Pro layout I created to help access some of the Make Noise 0-Coast functionality that's in the "programming pages"

You can DL the MDP Layout here:

http://mididesigner.com/qa/6567/progr...

Two important things to note:

1) You are required to do a shot every time I say "Um"
2) You must slam a beer when I say "Basically"

* Thanks Dan @ MDP for making such a great program
* Thanks to Make Noise for making such a powerful little black box!"

This is a Max Map patch driven by the light block - nothing is prerecorded there is a simple 4 second loop controlled by two of the faders - all sounds controlled directly by the block - with pressure and y axis controlling FM synthesis"

First Super Signal Processor Eurorack Module Ships

Via the Percussa Kickstarter where you'll find more pics. Note this one has a burgundy wine faceplate rather then the standard black we have seen up to this date, and it goes to Kuxaan-Sum, a backer of the Kickstarter campaign, who has been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH numerous times as well.

"Today was a special day - we shipped the first SSPs to 7 lucky backers :-) We shipped according the backer number starting with serial number one, low serial number and custom SSP tiers.

We'll send out an email with a tracking number this weekend to each of the backers we shipped. We'll also be posting some installation / release notes / getting started info.

We worked towards this moment for months, pushing several updates to the software over the past weeks such as the multi-channel recording capabilities of the SSP software.

Below you can see photos of our building process the past week as well as a sneak peak of the packaging. We'll leave the actual unboxing photos and videos to the backers :-)

intellijel Rubicon 2 Panel Overview

Published on Jun 1, 2018 Intellijel

"This video provides an overview of the panel and features of the Rubicon II analog oscillator. We also provide a basic introduction to TZFM synthesis and demonstrate some examples of linear and exponential FM, oscillator sync, and our special Warp and Squish circuits. Owners of the original Rubicon will benefit from this video as many of the features are retained.

Rubicon II
Thru-Zero Discrete Triangle Core VCO

Rubicon2 is the second generation of the classic Rubicon triangle core analog VCO, designed in collaboration with David G. Dixon.

It features nine simultaneously available waveshape outputs; two sub-oscillators; three variations of a sine wave; a new Tri-State pulse circuit; exponential Frequency Modulation (FM); linear FM; hard and soft (flip) sync; pulse width modulation; CV control of FM index; a new foldable Warp circuit; and the ability to perform perfectly-symmetrical Thru-zero FM with absolutely no change in pitch or tracking accuracy.

This is not a ‘set it and forget it’ oscillator. It’s an oscillator that demands to be tweaked, modulated and explored. It’s an oscillator that’s proudly analog and eschews all shortcuts. As such, it’s an oscillator that rewards its owner with sounds as boundless as their creative limits allow."

Robaux - SWT16 *First Patch*

Published on Jun 1, 2018 DivKidVideo

"I have a full demo video coming with the SWT16 from Robaux coming in the near future but as I often do I wanted to share my first experiences and first patch with you all. I think sharing the first steps is a good way to indicate how easy something to use and what it does quickly and immediately. In this case, it's quick to mute, create fills, sequence and play around with the trigger/gate sequences. Very cool.

I'll be making an exclusive patch breakdown to show off the samples, sound sources, mixing, distortion, filtering and FX for my Patreon supporters. So consider supporting what I do here and grab the bonus content on patreon.com/divkid if you wish. Cheers!

"a track to really push the arrangement mode on the octatrack into some territory i haven't yet covered. absolutely everything in this track is being controlled by the octatrack.

someone please give me a cirklon, tia.

there's only six patterns of 64 steps each in this song but by slicing each pattern into lots of little bits via the arranger and sequencing track mutes and scene changes you can get a pretty full sounding track going without having to do a gosh darn thing live.

the modular bass sound is a few oscillators from the shapeshifter through a polaris filter in 24db low pass mode and then on to warps acting as a frequency shifter with a very slow sweep and finally into clouds which is providing some randomly diffused comb filtery delay. acid bassline and pads are the analog four, octatrack is taking care of drums."

Pittsburgh Modular Officially Introduces the New Lifeforms Primary Oscillator

Published on Jun 1, 2018 Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers

The Lifeforms Primary Oscillator was first introduced at SUPERBOOTH18. The official introduction is now in via Pittsburgh Modular:

"A New Type of Oscillator Designed to Push Analog Synthesis Forward

Teased at Superbooth last month, the Lifeforms Primary Oscillator offers true analog innovation designed to stretch the boundaries of pure sonic sculpting. The Primary Oscillator uses unique cascading waveform processing to create increasingly complex, fully modulatable waveforms. Through the use of multiple interwoven waveshapers, a simple waveform can quickly mutate into something deeply dynamic and harmonically rich.

Price, Availability, and More Information

The suggested retail price for the Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms Primary Oscillator is $229. The module is available to order now and begins shipping today."
