Cannibal Memorymoog (by Synthpro)

Published on Oct 23, 2018 synthpro

"The Story of the Cannibal Memorymoog:

I usually try to keep my parts units locked up tight for that one night of year that crazy things seem to happen but one year I forgot and the nightmares still haunt me to this day of what I witnessed!

The day after Halloween, I came into my shop just as any other day but today something was different. I noticed this trail of synthesizer guts leading from the door of my shop into my surgical room where I had a minimoog in the process of getting a part transfusion. As I entered the surgical room, I found the minimoog on the floor busted up pretty bad as if something had been eating on it. I continued following the trail of synth guts and they stopped at the cabinet where I keep donor synthesizers. I open the cabinet and the donor memorymoog I had is missing. I stood there for a few minutes trying to figure out what happened when all of a sudden, I heard a noise from the front of my shop....I cautiously made my way to where the noise came from and nothing could have prepared me for what I saw; it was my donor memormyoog and it had became a zombie, it was eating minimoog boards and trying to trap a moog source to eat afterwards!

I did the only thing I knew to do; I picked up the zombie memorymoog, threw it on my surgical table, and started disassembling it as quickly as I could. As I removed the parts, I put them in the donor cabinet making sure to lock it after each part was stored.

Still to this day, I sometimes hear moving in the cabinet around Oct but I dare not open to see what it is making the noise.

Happy Halloween Friends!

Sincerely,
Jareth"

Playlist:
1. Sequential Prophet6 jam P6 up and (too) close #1: filter resonance whistly

Live Prophet-6 jam 23 Oct 2018.
Lots of whistle on filter resonance from 2:35. Apreggiated notes - just playing the controls. Digital effects off at 5:17. Some quantization as I moved the filter cutoff knob at 5:44. Inverted filter envelope to filter at 0:54.
Anyone who doesn't like bad camerawork better not watch this. However, I wanted to get the idea of the thrill of playing an ultra real time controllable synthesizer like the Prophet-6 so oftentimes I wanted both hands to play the controls.

2. Sequential Prophet6 jam P6 up and (too) close #2 filter resonance vs clean

Sequential Prophet6 jam P6 up and (too) close filter resonance vs clean (no resonance). Resonance turned from around 8 to 0 after 2:17. Apreggiated sequence to maximize fun of playing the controls on this wonderful analog synth keyboard.

3. Sequential Prophet6 jam P6 up and (too) close #3: PWM pulse width modulation.

Sequential Prophet6 jam P6 up and (too) close PWM pulse width modulation with and without filter mod.

G-Storm Electro SH2-VCF EURORACK PROTOTYPE AND STUDIO UPDATE AUDIO+TALKING

Published on Oct 23, 2018 gstormelectro

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

Today I wanted to make sure to update you what's been happening around the studio and my SH2-VCF prototype module. Been busy organizing a big garage sale, re-organizing the studio, hanging synth shelves, trying to source a 4-foot wood table, and working for about 2 months on my SH-2 filter prototype.

This SH-2 filter came about as I had a few BA6110 chips laying around and wanted to do something with them. First I built the filter on a breadboard and it wasn't working. Turns out 1/2 my new old stock chips were not doing their job for some reason. No biggie, I designed/ordered some pcb/panels and some more BA6110 chips from ebay.

As luck would have it these chips would be the bane of my existence. I ordered some more BA6110 from activeparts and none of those worked. I also adapted my board to accept the different pinouts for some BA662 Open Labs clones...those caught fire. On the forums these clones are highly admired and used in X0XB0X apparently. It's all good, I just wasn't able to get them to work in this circuit.

So until I get this BA6110/662 issue figured out I won't be able to build any more modules to sell. Time to move on to some other projects and, forbid, make any music :)

Be warned - some harsh resonance acid house squealing ahead!

Sequential Officially Announces the New Prophet XL

Sequential Prophet XL Introduction Published on Oct 23, 2018 Dave Smith Instruments

"The Sequential Prophet XL is a 76-key version of the acclaimed Prophet X — a potent fusion of samples-plus-synthesis and the most ground-breaking evolution of the Prophet yet: https://www.sequential.com/product/pr..."

And the press release followed by some hi-res pics:

"Sequential Announces Prophet XL Synthesizer, Featuring 76-Note Keyboard and Expanded Polyphony

San Francisco, CA—Oct 23, 2018—Sequential today announced the Prophet XL, a 76-key version of their flagship Prophet X samples-plus-synthesis hybrid synth. The new instrument provides the same powerful combination of high-fidelity samples from 8Dio and full synthesis capabilities that has earned the Prophet X critical acclaim — but makes the concept even more compelling for studio and stage by adding a semi-weighted-action, 76-key, premium-quality Fatar keybed and a new performance mode that allows 32-voice polyphony when using a single sampled instrument and a single oscillator.

At the heart of both the Prophet XL and the Prophet X is a sound engine that powers two simultaneous 16-bit, 48kHz sample-based instruments plus two high-resolution digital oscillators with waveshape modulation — all processed through analog filters. In standard performance mode, the instrument provides bi-timbral, 8-voice-stereo, or 16-voice mono operation.

Dave Smith commented: “We designed the Prophet XL for musicians who wanted more of a good thing. By adding an extended, semi-weighted action keyboard and enabling 32-voice performance mode, we’ve made it even more satisfying to play the acoustic and electric pianos and other instruments where increased polyphony is crucial. We’re making 32-voice mode available on the Prophet X, as well, so that all of our users will benefit.”

Sample content for the Prophet X series was created by sound developers 8Dio, known for pioneering “deep sampling.” Regarding the new instrument, 8Dio co-founder Troels Folmann said: “For us, it’s all about giving musicians the best tools to express themselves. The Prophet XL is a great enhancement of the original Prophet X concept because it gives artists more room to breathe. More keys and more voices means more room to explore and create.”

The 150 GB sample library in the Prophet XL and 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 XL and Prophet X also provide 50 gigabytes of internal storage for importing additional samples. Support for user-created sample content is planned for December, 2018.

The Prophet XL will be available in November of 2018 with a MAP of $4,399.

VIDEODROME TRIBUTE by Everett Dudgeon SEQUENTIAL PROPHET X

Published on Oct 22, 2018 EverettDudgeon138

"I haven't uploaded a video in a while as I'm currently in pre production on a short film I'll be directing in November. I've been swamped in pre-production and trust me that's a great thing. I'm very fortunate to have met a wonderful producer in Toronto here who really is helping me get things going. I'm very fortunate and blessed to be surrounded by so many supportive and wonderful people.

Howard Shore's score for Videodrome is quite a unique score. What he did was he scored and recorded a real string orchestra and then re-sampled that recording into his Synclavier synthesizer. So the whole score has synthesized string recordings and authentic string recordings which fits the films plot perfectly.

I used the Prophet-X for this and approached it in a similar way. I used the beautiful string samples from 8Dio and layered them with the same strings but altered through frequency modulation and amplitude modulation. Lots of Bit and Hack used on the strings as well as some oscillators mixed in there as well. I think it turned out very well. Hope you enjoy! Long Live The New Flesh!!!"

"Some 142bpm psy experiments in the Hexinverter Électronique modular dungeon! Using Mutant Brain + Digitakt for modular control is a great combo!

Red Dragon is providing the punchy cutoff for the snappy bassline. The built in filter core overdrive is pushed to the max to get a good attack for some psy-like bass sounds! The morphing filter pole is slammed to 24dB/oct in this patch. Mutant BD9, Snare and Clap are used here, along with the Hot Glue."

Tonal Paintings by Parallel Worlds Released

Parallel Worlds' new release Tonal Paintings is now available here. The above is the 2nd track off of the release. Be sure to check out the rest. It's a great instrumental album, and a bit diverse. If you enjoyed Parallel Worlds recent Dystopia, you will enjoy this release. It is a bit more minimal, but delivers just as well. The album is reminiscent of a film score at times. You'll hear hints of John Carpenter and soundscapes that would be home in an X-Files soundtrack, however, everything is uniquely Parallel Worlds.

https://electroniqueitrecords.bandcamp.com/album/tonal-paintings

"Delving deep into a ghostly landscape, Parallel Worlds make his personal journey through ambient-soundtracks music created by a selected range of synths. This personal and introspective album is composed by eight tracks which come from far away and unraveling between horror atmospheres, dark desolate landscapes and sci-fi visions. After a series of incredible albums for labels such as Shima Records and DiN, Parallel Worlds lands on Lost In It Records with an intense and visceral work ready to leave its mark in your soul.
