JX-3P Now Available on Roland Cloud

As you know the JX-3P "Plugout" for the Roland System-8 was released back on 808 day (8/8/18). It is now available on Roland Cloud.

"JX-3P Now Available!

JX-3P UNVEILED AS PART OF ROLAND CLOUD'S LEGENDARY SERIES

Originally released in 1983, the JX-3P was one of the earliest programmable preset polyphonic synthesizers and Roland’s first MIDI-equipped machine. In the decades since, artists like The Future Sound of London, Astral Projection, Vince Clarke, Orbital, and Thomas Dolby have utilized the JX-3P.

VINTAGE '80s SOUNDS REIMAGINED
In the early ‘80s, the synthesizer market was in flux. Spurred by trends in contemporary music, synths began to creep into popular culture. Roland, in lieu of complicated controls, shifted towards inclusive designs. Why not create a keyboard with Roland’s iconic analog warmth but make it accessible? Thus the dawn of the pushbutton interface and the introduction of the JX-3P. The JX-3P condensed the signature Roland sound users had come to expect into 64 stunning presets.

(Vermona '14) Debussy: Syrinx

Published on Oct 17, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Debussy's 'Syrinx', here performed on synth. Original is, of course, solo flute - but it translates very, very well to synth - especially the Vermona, given its expressive qualities.

I'm working on a project at present for a client, hence a different instrument from the norm (i.e. the Vermona is out anyway).

The Vermona is something of a rare beast. Even rarer is hearing a full performance on the '14. It should probably be kept that way i.e. very elusive ;)

I chose Debussy to illustrate the Vermona for a few reasons, namely:

1) It is a great piece for showing off the highly expressive capabilities of the Vermona

2) I'm working on dance music at present, and Debussy makes a refreshing change :)

The tone I've went for here is very unusual/odd - this is to complement the nature of the music. Vermona's tone is stunning. Possibly the finest tone of any modern analog mono. The MB has far greater sound design capabilities - but for a pure tone, there aren't many synths to touch this.

Coloured score on the wall is Syrinx. I often colour to define sections. Great way of quickly showing/identifying structure.

Performance duration of this recording is longer than most recordings. Synths, unlike flute players, don't have the all-very human worry of running out of breath :) as such, phrases can be given full space/length. I personally think the piece sounds great on a synth such as this.

PS here's a link to the score - http://imslp.eu/files/imglnks/euimg/2...

Best

μClouds + AJH Synth VCO granular patch (8hp Clouds Eurorack module)

Published on Oct 17, 2018 DreamsOfWires

"A simple patch using the μClouds in granular mode. μClouds is an 8hp version of Mutable Instruments 'Clouds'; a granular/texture synth module. Mine is running the Parasite firmware, which adds some more audio processing modes.

Here, a single VCO serves as an audio source, from which Clouds is taking small audio slices (grains), which can be pitch-shifted and combined with the incoming signal. Clouds also has built-in reverb.

Tiptop Audio Introduces New MIX7 Analog Summing Mixer Eurorack Module

"MIX7 is a seven channel analog summing mixer module for Eurorack. It is designed for summing any of the different types of signals you’ll find in a modular system: Audio, CV, Triggers, or Gate.

MIX7 gives ability to sweeten your mix with more headroom using the power of low noise analog summing. A compact 3HP Eurorack utility module, MIX7 is an attractive mixing addition to any rig, especially with the ability to also combine rhythms, note patterns or CV automations from different control sources. The main output of one section can be connected to the input of another MIX7 to create larger mixing groups and complex signal routes inside your modular.

The MIX7 summing mixing circuit is built with low-noise operational amplifiers, giving it an excellent sound quality for mixing audio, the beautiful texture of classic analog mixing with plenty of headroom to handle hot modular signals, and the versatility to sum non-audio signals in your system to open up new creative possibilities.

Each input is labeled with a number of dots, 1-7, yellow for input and green for output. The module matches Tiptop’s system look with clean white faceplate styling.

At the back of the module is a user-configurable jumper allowing users to configure the MIX7 for either unity gain (OUT = IN) or give increased headroom (OUT = 0.4IN) for use with hot audio signals, which makes it a great pairing for Tiptop Audio percussive modules. A peak indicator light on the front panel warns the user of even the slightest audio clipping in the mix, helping to keep all the incoming sound sources at their full original quality."

Posting this one for the pics of the inside below.

"This is a very rare Sequential Circuits Piano Forte made by Seil. It has a different fuse cap not shown in the pictures and I will include the missing TMS3617 Top Octave Chip missing on the upper voice card as shown in the pictures. I purchased the chip to try to repair this unit but no longer have the time. I purchase the unit without the chip not knowing before hand so I believe the unit will still have issues even if the IC is installed. It only makes a slight clicking sound when keys are pressed. No other testing was done."

Studio Electronics SE-02 Ext Box — SynthFest UK 2018

Published on Oct 17, 2018 Sound On Sound magazine

"The Roland Boutique SE-02 turned heads when it was released and not just because it was the first analogue device in the Boutique series of miniature synths. It was also, of course, the first collaboratively designed model, too. With a three-oscillator design, the SE-02 lent itself nicely to monophonic synth basses with dynamic filter sweeps. The only problem is that the filter cutoff knob is rather small.

In order to remedy that issue, and in response to customer feedback, Studio Electronics have announced the SE-02 Ext Box which filters a large filter knob for more tactile performance control, amongst other things. We discover more from UK Distributor Simon Lowther of MSL Pro."

Yamaha TQ5 with MIDI Designer on iPad

Published on Oct 17, 2018 quadratschulz

"The Yamaha TQ5 is probably one of the most underrated and cheap synthesizers today. Manufactured in 1988, where it was clearly targeted to the consumer market with barely any parameters to edit at the device, it's actually an TX81z in a box with nearly all of its functionality available via MIDI. The desktop unit was designed by Hartmut Esslinger's company Frog Design that was also responsible for many legendary industry designs back then for Apple, Wega and Texas Instruments to name just a few.

Here you can see the Yamaha TQ5 connected to an iPad running the MIDI Designer app and the Yamaha TQ5 layout. More details here:
https://mididesigner.com/qa/6608/layo...

In theory (I have not tested this) this layout should also work with other Yamaha FM synthesizers (e.g. TX81z), since the MIDI specification is largely compatible between these two synths."

Agar Agar - Against The Clock

Published on Oct 17, 2018 FACTmagazine
Update 10/17/18 9:53PM: video is back.

"All aboard for our first ever Against The Clock on a boat.

French electronic duo Agar Agar are singer Clara Cappagli and synth wizard Armand Bultheel. The duo met in art school four years ago and bonded over a love of music and art, forming Agar Agar despite their contrasting backgrounds in garage rock and club music.

We jumped at the chance to feature the duo on Against The Clock and were happily surprised when they told us we'd be recording on a boat. The duo proved themselves an act to watch in 2018 thanks to Bultheel's electronic shoegaze instrumental and Cappagli's evocative vocals.

Watch the session above and check out Agar Agar's second album The Dog and The Future, which is out now via Cracki Records. Don't miss Agar Agar's upcoming London show next week."

This is what an Antarctic Ice Shelf sounds like

Published on Oct 16, 2018 American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Synth sounds in nature. Dude/dudette with a modular in a cave under the ice sheets somewhere.

"Winds blowing across snow dunes on Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf cause the massive ice slab’s surface to vibrate, producing a near-constant drumroll of seismic “tones” scientists could potentially use to monitor changes in the ice shelf from afar, according to new research.

The ice shelf’s “song” is too low in frequency to be heard by human ears, but it has been made audible here by geophysicist and mathematician Julien Chaput, who sped up a 2015 recording of the ice shelf’s vibrations about 1,200 times."
