"This actual keyboard was used by Annette Peacock when she performed at a conservatory in Seattle! She requested a Roland D50 and they found one for her, and that's where I got it from.

SY-1 Pearl Syncussion clone - fixing the PSU noise

Published on Jul 2, 2018 Stereoping

"The first batch of the brilliant SY-1 Syncussion clones from the human comparator seemed to have an issue with the negative power supply (TL497 inverter), soiling an ennoying high frequent noise into the audio path. There are several discussions and suggestions for fixing in different discussion boards. On learning from Shruthi filter schematics i came across another voltage inverter (LT1054) and wanted to give it a try. To my own surprise it worked right away, the noise completely disappeared, the unit still worked (unbeleivable!) and the new inverter keeps perfectly cool. I built a test setting with a switch allowing to flip from the original negative supply to a breadboarded LT1054 supply. You will directly hear and see the difference.

Second half of the demo shows some pictures how my alternative negative supply looks like now. It is soldered directly in place after removing the TL497 and some unused components. The background music is of course from the SY-1 (after PSU-conversion) together with the impOSCar.

There is an article on my site with more details about this hack."

"This very rare analog synthesizer features both presets and free control of key parameters sort of like an Italian SH1000 or Arp Pro Soloist (hmm, that name rings a bell), or Moog Satellite. According to the site "encyclotronic":
"A feature of the Soloist 505 is that it has the famous Moog Ladder Filter onboard. Manufacturers installed the components to make the Ladder Filter before Moog Music imposed a patent on it's use in non Moog instruments."

It's virtually identical to the synthesizer built into Elka's big double manual organ the X705 and has the same porn-tastic vibe ;)"

Vintage Sequential Circuits Pro One Analog Synth SN 3213

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

via this auction

"Beautiful housing, all buttons intact - HOWEVER - was many many years unused and some combination of mechanics and electronics are now poor/unusable. Oscillators seem to work but feeble at best, there's a stuck-'on' key and there will need to be some serious diagnostics and repairs done to key triggers, pots and switches I assume, to get back to reliable playing quality."

If it's a j-wire version, the wires likely just need cleaning and bending. I once picked up a Pro-One from Guitar Center for $125 due to a stuck note. I opened it up, bent the j-wire back and it was as good as new. They way the keyboard works is there is a little wire that extends from them. When you press a key it tilts up and makes contact with a metal bar. If the wire is bent it can end up touching the bar producing a stuck note. If the wires and bar are oxidized or dirty for whatever reason, pressing notes can sound unstable. That said, if you pick this one up and it's not due to these issues do not blame me. :) Just throwing this out there for Pro-One owners with similar problems.

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #60: Quasimidi TechnoX - Song 2

Published on Dec 1, 2018 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the second song with the Quasimidi TechnoX. It's a 21 voice 16-part multitimbral ROMpler from the mid-90s with a focus on techno, rave, electronic.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
Quasimidi TechnoX - Pioneer EFX-500 - Sony DPS-V55m

The signal went through a small Behringer mixer into the pc for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

Cross modulated FM / X MOD & filtered FX chains // birdkids RAVEN prototype patches #4

Published on Dec 1, 2018 DivKidVideo

"This patches makes use of the FM input on each VCO to route the wave outs from each oscillator into the FM of the other. Creating a X-mod / FM feedback network to explore some analogue frequency modulation. The filter is in bypass mode and is taking the raw output of RAVEN back into the external input and I'm filtering that before going into a reverb. This keeps the raw FM tones up front in the mix while a filter (resonance moving due to LFO modulation of the cut off) changing and softening the tone that hits the reverb."

"Randomlog is a synth with unique control of Cutoff, Resonance, Attack, and Release: Each note pipes a different random value to these parameters! Set the range of each parameter and let the patch do the rest. Use the built-in sequencer or latch function to play some notes while you vary the probability of each control. Send the two oscillators in and out of tune with each other for extra weirdness."

Braids Synthesis Modules Series - #21 Reed and Flute Simulations

Published on Dec 1, 2018 Omri Cohen

"I wanted to challenge myself and record every couple of days or so a full composition, using just the Macro Oscillator (Braids) as a sound source, in one specific mode. This is Day 21.
I cannot say that this is one of my best patches, not at all, but it was pretty interesting creating it. I used Ions from the Geodesics collection to create 2 sequences, and to add some more variation I modulated the scale of one of the Quantum quantizers with using Stages. I used another Stages to modulate the pitch the third oscillator in the bottom row, and I played "live" the notes for the bass part, using the Twelve Key from Impromptu Modular."
