"Dave Smith Instruments Begins Shipping Sequential Prophet X Samples-Plus-Synthesis Hybrid Synthesizer

New Keyboard Features Samples by 8Dio, Stereo Analog Filters, and Full Synthesis Capabilities

San Francisco, CA—June 6, 2018—Dave Smith Instruments today began shipping the Sequential Prophet X, a new, bi-timbral, 8-voice-stereo (16-voice mono) synthesizer that combines samples and synthesis. At the heart of its sound is a newly developed engine that powers two simultaneous 16-bit, 48kHz sample-based instruments plus two high-resolution digital oscillators with waveshape modulation per voice — all processed through analog filters.

Dave Smith commented: “The Prophet X is a powerful evolution of the Prophet series.We’ve created a new sound engine that not only provides sample playback through stereo analog filters, but also gives you all of the synthesis capabilites and awesome sound you’d expect from a Prophet. It’s an amazing instrument.”

For sample content, Dave Smith turned to sound developers 8Dio, known for pioneering “deep sampling,” a detailed approach to sampling that aims to capture all of the nuances and idiosyncracies of a particular sound or instrument. 8Dio co-founder Troels Folmann put it this way: “We’re known for going anywhere and everywhere with sounds. We embrace all sounds as music and feel that if you can capture the musical soul of a sound, you can make it into an instrument. The Prophet X gives musicians a very immediate and responsive way to access this expressiveness.”

The 150 GB sample library in the Prophet X includes numerous acoustic and electronic instruments as well as an extensive collection of ambient and cinematic effects. Users can shape the samples through loop manipulation, sample stretching, and the synthesizer’s many sound-sculpting functions which include 4 envelope generators, 4 LFOs, a deep modulation matrix, and other tools. The Prophet X also provides 50 gigabytes of internal storage for importing additional samples. Several sample libraries will be available from 8Dio at launch. Support for user-created sample content is planned for December, 2018.

A dual-effects engine provides multiple reverbs, two delays (standard and BBD), a chorus, flanger, phase shifter, rotating speaker, high-pass filter, and distortion. In stacked or split voice mode, you can apply two different effects to each layer. Effects parameters can be modulated through the mod matrix as can the samples themselves. A polyphonic step sequencer allows up to 64 steps and up to 6 notes per step, per layer. The Prophet X features a premium-quality, five-octave, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch, an integrated power supply, USB support, and three OLED displays.

Dave Smith summed up the new instrument this way: “As a whole, the Prophet X covers more sonic territory than any Prophet we’ve ever created. The new analog filter design we’re using not only sounds fantastic for synth sounds, but also does something special for the samples. Composers will love it for soundtracks, synth geeks will love it for its sound mangling potential, and live players will love it for its versatility.” Added 8Dio co-founder Tawnia Knox: “The Prophet X has almost infinite posibilites. But more importantly, it has a soul. It’s alive. You can touch your sounds in a different way than you ever could.”

The Sequential Prophet X is available now with a US MAP of $3,999."

New WaveReX Expansion Card for the Korg M1 Allows Loading of Custom Waveforms

WaveReX - Waveform Refill eXpansion for Korg M1 - Demo

Published on May 31, 2018 WaveReX

"This short demonstrations shows you how the WaveReX works and how easy it is to load almost every sample you want into your beloved M1.

WaveReX extension does not require a reconstruction of the synthesizer, has the same form as the own PCM cards and can very simply be placed in the ROM-slot of the M1. A total of 512 kByte are available for your own samples, exactly as the original cards.

It emulates and copies PCM cards – or enables you to create your own.

The sounds/waveforms of the following devices are available:
• DSS-1 / DSM-1 DWGS
• DW-8000 DWGS
• MS-2000 DWGS
• all sounds of the T-series

This card is still a full working beta model. The RC1 will be released in July 2018 and of course it'll be in a plastic case (we're working on it).
Finally, truly fresh sounds can be created using your new born Korg M1.

The Software is WIN - a version for Mac OSX is planned!

Take your M1 to the 21th century and visit www.waverex.de"


via WaveReX where you can find additional details:

"With WaveReX it is possible to create your own PCM cards on the computer (samples, multisounds, drumsounds), and use it on your M1. You can load your cards via USB from computer to the WaveReX."

"There is no doubt about it: the M1 truly changed the world of synthesizers! With its completely new sounds which have never been heard before, it has changed not only a whole music scene, but probably shaped the entire decade of the 90s. With approximately 250k sold synthesizers, it marked a milestone in the music and synthesizer history. 30 years have passed since KORG has released its prototype 731 at NAMM in 1988. Shortly after this release, the M1 Music Workstation has been introduced. Thankfully and reverently we, the M1-Fans, would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

30 years later: The waiting has finally come to an end

Is it possible to link the M1 to the concepts and technologies of the 21st century such that the unique sounds can be preserved in future?

We say: Yes! …and made the almost impossible possible!

With WaveReX we made it possible to load own samples and waveforms into M1! WaveReX is an external card which, similar to the regular PCM cards, is inserted into the PCM DATA slot. Own samples can then be loaded in M1 to create own multisounds or drumsets. This enables you to explore entirely new sound dimensions. Limitations to internal waveforms or PCM-cards have finally been overcome.

No matter if you work with PCM-samples or Single Cycle Waveforms (DWGS) – all is possible! Simply compile a card on your PC and load it via USB on the card.

You want waveforms from Kawai K1, K4 or 5000 in your M1? No problem. You want synthesis and Waves à la PPG? Waveforms of analog classics (Moog, Roland etc.?).

Then the WaveReX is your solution! The WaveRex-Board is not just a sampler as AKAI or E-MU, but should enrich the possibilities of synthesis. The foundations have been laid in 1988. In 2018, the time has come to fully exploit the potential of M1 for the first time in history.

DSI CHOOSES SOUND SEMICONDUCTOR FILTER CHIP FOR PROPHET X

If you are curious what filter chip is used in Dave Smith Instruments' new Sequential Prophet X, it's the new SSI2144 from Sound Semiconductor, designed by Dave Rossum of E-Mu fame, and the new Rossum Electro-Music. The SSI2144 is a new and improved version of the SSM2044 used in many classic vintage synths. The official press release from Sound Semiconductor follows:


"DSI CHOOSES SOUND SEMICONDUCTOR FILTER CHIP FOR PROPHET X

SSI2144 Filter Perfect Complement to Sample and Synthesis Engine

June 6, 2018 – Audio IC specialist Sound Semiconductor today announced that venerable synthmaker Dave Smith Instruments selected the SSI2144 Fatkeys™ Four-Pole Voltage Controlled Filter for its groundbreaking Prophet X.

The Prophet X fuses samples and synthesis into a single keyboard for unprecedented stage and studio capability. Built around a bi-timbral stereo 8-voice DSP engine with a massive 150GB internal memory, the Prophet X provides cutting edge samples created by sound designers 8DIO. Also included are dual digital oscillators per voice with a wide range of waveforms and great flexibility on how they’re used.

Samples and waveform generation start in the digital domain but grounded in the real world through sixteen analog filters. Dave and his development team chose the newly available SSI2144 due to its classic ladder sound in an affordable and modern IC footprint.

Sound Semiconductor was founded in 2016 by original SSM staffers – many of whom carried forward the SSM vision at Analog Devices – to develop high performance ICs for professional audio and electronic music. The SSI2144 is an updated and improved re-issue of the SSM2044, which many believe to be the best-sounding filter IC ever produced. Both the SSM2044 and SSI2144 were designed by electronic music icon Dave Rossum.


The SSI2144 was quickly followed by the SSI2164, a significantly improved direct-replacement for the SSM2164 Quad VCA. More products are in development.

"SSM chips were at the core of Rev One and Two Prophet 5’s," stated Dan Parks, President of Sound Semiconductor. "So it feels great to be back in a Prophet our the new SSI2144.”

Sound Semiconductor is composed of musicians and technologists with the goal of developing affordable, high-performance integrated circuits for the electronic music and professional audio markets. For more information, please visit www.soundsemiconductor.com."

"I've always loved 80s Sci-Fi soundtracks such as "Escape from New York" and 'The Terminator'. It's by no means a coincidence that they both share something in common; The Sequential Circuits Prophet 5. As the P5 is about as rare as a unicorn and as expensive as a decent car, I'll probably never get close to one. However, SCI's monophonic version of it, the Pro-One can still be found if you keep your eyes open. And sure enough, I managed to snag one.

So, here's an original track following the spirit of those great scores. Minimal and atmospheric, my take on a spot of Carpentry.

IMPROV: Octatrack MKII & Novation Peak


Published on Jun 4, 2018 Bearded Beeps

"Quick play with Octatrack this evening. I got to grips with the MIDI functions. I was sequencing the Novation Peak with the OT and then running the sound back into the OT to manipulate on a Thru track. I also played with some parameter locks on the MIDI tracks as well as the Thru.

I'm getting the hang of the OT's workflow. Loving the Scenes function to add distortion and decay to sounds on certain tracks to add more contrast. I'm finding the best way for me to use it is to create a palette of sounds I want to work with first (sometimes outside of the OT - either in other hardware or samples) and then create tracks from there in the OT. The OT bring a focus for me and I love being able to perform transitions and effects 'live'/hands on - it feels better than doing this in a DAW, but doubt I'll ever move away from DAW as part of my overall workflow.

The sound is recorded using the Behringer UFX1204 - straight into the USB drive at the back - nice and handy."

Lyra Raga 1: Puriya Kalyan (Lyra 8 synth + Strymon Big Sky + CBA Warped Vinyl)


Published on May 23, 2018 Modular Landing

"Lyra creator Vlad Kreimer says that the Lyra synthesizer was partially inspired by Indian ragas, a beautiful set of musical forms and moods. Reading that, I thought why not explore the Lyra as an instrument through raga? I know little about ragas (although I love listening to them) so this seemed like a good way of learning about ragas also. This is the first, inspired by the Indian raga "puriya kalyan." The Lyra is going into a Warped Vinyl (which is providing the very slow swells) and a Big Sky reverb unit set to "clouds."

A quick search revealed nothing on YouTube or Google involving both the Lyra synthesizer and Indian ragas, amazingly! So I suppose these are the first Lyra raga videos.

This track was inspired by the following raga performance: [below]

"Allen Strange wrote the book on modular synthesizers in the 1970s. Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls. Unfortunately since the expanded 1982 edition, it has never been reprinted, and in today’s landscape where more people have access to modular synths than ever before, very few have access to the knowledge contained within. This video series will explore patches both basic and advanced from Strange’s text. Even the simplest patches here yield kernels of knowledge that can be expanded upon in infinite ways. I have been heavily influenced by Strange since long before I became a modular synth educator. Please share this knowledge far and wide.

This video shows parallel envelope patching to create two simultaneous note events with different shapes and durations."

Re-creating the Weird Synth Loop from MEXICAN RADIO by Wall Of Voodoo


Published on Jun 5, 2018 peahix

"Recently I was asked to make an instrumental version of Wall Of Voodoo's 'Mexican Radio.' Since I was not allowed to use any samples or audio from the original, I figured if I could nail the weird synth loop you hear at the beginning of the song, the rest of it would be fairly straightforward. I found that by slowing down the original to half speed, I could hear enough details in terms of the notes, oscillator tuning, and timbre that re-creating it was quite simple. The original was apparently done with a Minimoog and an Oberheim sequencer, with the Minimoog run through a guitar amp. Here I'm using a Sequential Circuits Pro-One with its own onboard sequencer. At the end you can hear a bit of the final product, with FX applied (via plugins). I'll post the full version of the final result soon, but for now I figured this little detail of the song might make for a fun mini-tutorial."
