"This synthesizer has just been fully serviced by Synthchaser, the west coast's leading ARP specialist - recapped, new key bushings, new purple LED sliders, clean, fully functional, calibrated, in tune and sounding great. This keyboard is the sound of Joy Division and is all over The Cars' "Moving In Stereo", and many other late 70's/early 80's albums. It produces the lush Solina/String Ensemble sounds plus has a polyphonic synthesizer section with a voltage controlled filter, LFO, and ADSR, and a dedicated bass synthesizer section. Unlike the later ARP Omni 2, the ARP Omni 1's synth bass can be routed through the 4 Pole VCF to get fat synth basses.

Decaying reverb


Published on Jul 31, 2018 Gecho Loopsynth

"One of the new functions added in the recent firmware update is something I call (for lack of a better name) 'Decaying reverb'.

It does not use filtering, but additional buffer - similar to echo delay line. This buffer's size slowly increases over time, by one sample every 250ms. This results in the resonance perceivably tuned up to a certain frequency (or note), which changes very slowly.

There is also a more interactive mode, which allows for tuning it using sensors and starting/stopping the ramp in both up or down directions."

CUCKOO's first OP-Z live set (Berlin 2018)


Published on Jul 31, 2018 cuckoomusic

"Teenage Engineering is coming out with the OP-Z really soon!! I've been part of the beta testing phase this year. In this gig in Berlin, I'm using a generation 2 beta unit or something.. Gen 3? So if you think I'm struggling with the keys when playing, to my defence the beta units have been pretty stiff in the buttons. This has been addressed, and now, a few generations later, I've been told that it's much much nicer to play on. Can't wait to get the final unit in my hands!!!"

Let me out of here


Published on May 21, 2018 Audio Illustrator

This is last of three Pink Floyd style compositions by James Newman.

1) Another Floydian slip
2) Broken
3) Let me out of here (this post)

"Audio illustrator James Newman and the James Newman Cinematic orchestra are pleased to present, "Let me out of here".

This is a musical journey of the the struggle between soul, mind, and body. I wanted to create the mood of being trapped within oneself and the desire to be released.

The percussive 'knocking' sound represents knocking or pounding, wanting to get out of where you are and hoping someone will hear you to let you out.

This is based from the Biblical text, Romans 7:14-25.

14For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. 15For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. 17So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 18For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. "21I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, 23but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. 24Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? 25Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin."

Preview: Prophet X Polysynth - Samples Plus Synthesis


Published on Jul 31, 2018 sonicstate

"We've been sent the new Prophet X from Sequential/ Dave Smith Instruments. Its a combination of REV 2 style polysynth combined with a large multi-sampled library from 8DIO stored on a 256GB internal SSD. This is a preview, we will be working on the full review over the next week or two."

Synth Lines - Taylor Swift - "Dancing With Our Hands Tied"


Published on Jul 31, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Brilliant song. Possibly the best on the album. Great synth part. Synth on the album is a Prophet, not an Obi. Taylor phoned Dave to ask for a Prophet for the album/upcoming tours, but wanted white. Of course, the Prophet isn't white - but if Taylor wants a white one for the tour, Taylor gets a white one for the tour!

So - if you see her on tour sitting at a white synth, it's a custom DSI Prophet.

On this recording I dropped in the basic drum parts. What you're hearing here is just an old Boss thing that was at hand. Drums on the original are Tempest. The album is pretty much all Tempest & Vermona when it comes to percussion.

Studio version is sequenced rather than played - but it's good fun to play the parts also. Filter sweeps etc can't be performed when the hands are busy playing - but again, it's good practice to be able to play sequencer parts in the off-chance the sequencer kicks the bucket mid-gig!

The difficult part in playing along with a drum machine is every single note has to be exactly on the beat. Pianists - if you think your timing is good - import a recording and line it up with a sequencer. The first time you do it will be an eye-opener!

Many musicians aim to play the most difficult music - which is commendable, of course. But in most studio situations, what is required is someone who can simply play in time. Guitarists in particular are notoriously bad for this - they'll shred Vai all day, but can't strum a G to a D perfectly in time with a metronome :)

Harmonically the included is quite jazzy - chords are minor 9ths, minor add 9's, and add 9's. Also - the single F otave at the chorus isn't always played as only n octave on the original. Depending on which chorus, the upper Eb of the Cm9 is moved to the F, hence it may sound thicker in certain places on the original.

Best
Kris"

Ensoniq Fizmo Keyboard Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Fizmo is a 48-voice synthesizer which uses 2nd-generation Transwave technology to create very organic sounds unlike any other synth available. Every programming function has its own dedicated knob or button, and there is a limited but useful 4-character LCD display. The Fizmo features an Arpeggiator and 24-bit VLSI effects with 41 algorithms, including a Vocoder and the ability to process incoming audio through the Vocoder and effects.

Transwave synthesis uses wavetables of sound data with layered variations in harmonic structures such that their timbres progress naturally from one end to the other. This allows for sounds to modulate over time, or by velocity, wheel, pressure, or any number of other options.

There are 2 oscillators available for each of the 4 presets allowing for 8 unique oscillators at the same time, not to mention individual LFO and Noise generators for each Osc. Another wonderful feature is the ability to stack up to four individual presets together into one sound and map them across the keyboard. This synth is very capable of some very complex sounds.

The built-in Arpeggiator has 118 presets which can be easily edited to your liking, and 26 real-time control/editing knobs make mutating your sound a pleasure. All controls may be recorded in real-time to an external sequencer."

"The Virus Ti2 has a 61 note keyboard and 3,000 sounds. It features a very robust synth which allows you to adjust/wrap any parameter. The best feature is the extensive set of controls for the arpeggiator, which allows you to create absolutely wild sounds and easily control all parameters. It is a well built keyboard, made in Germany, and you can literally spend hours playing and reviewing the sounds."

Building a Eurorack Synthesiser for Kids


Published on Jul 31, 2018 DivKidVideo

"I recently worked alongside Mylar Melodies showcasing and exhibiting modular synths (specifically Eurorack) to children (and some adults / parents) in the Science Tent at Deer Shed festival. Deer Shed is a family friendly festival with a large number of kids and parents and the Science Tent gives them a chance to come and try soldering, make slime, chemistry workshops, build raspberry pi units and come and make music and play on euro rack synthesisers or try out making music on a Ableton with guys from a local Ableton group.

For the event I tried to put together the best Eurorack synthesiser that I could that was a mean little groove box of beats, melodies, bass, FX and some more out there fun stuff. So here's what I used, how I patched it and how it went.
