Free Chiptunes Preset Pack for MOXF (Free download)


Published on Jun 30, 2019 thebrackett

"Hiya folks,
I love classic video game soundtracks and trying to design templates to help me make my own music modeled after the restrictions of various console sound chipsets.

Here's a MOXF preset pack I made that consists of 30 NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis inspired sounds using waveforms that come stock on the board (no flash memory upgrade needed). There's also one PCM downsampled drum kit that should work with all three decently well.

Free download here:

OB-6: Improv in Ab


Published on Jun 29, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Listen to that. Beautiful. Every time I turn on the Obi, music emanates from it. The thing plays itself. The sound from the OB-6 is instant beauty; it is almost impossible to make a bad sound on it. The included patch is one I use quite often: not a stock patch, but one I spent a good while creating (the same patch was used two videos ago on the DFAM/guitar jam).

What a mellow sound. Liszt was of the opinion that Ab was 'the key of love', and he frequently used the key when writing love songs/ballads (i.e his famous Liebestraume #3, among others). It certainly is mellow.

Whilst the video was processing, I was thinking RE 'synth therapy'. Listening to this kind of music certainly chills the mood. Playing this kind of music even more so. Perhaps what we need for world peace is for leaders to jam on an instrument. Or what may be easier would be modular. I propose the UN have a modular wall, and each day, two countries get together and design a patch.

Musicians can have their quirks. For sure. However: I don't know about you, but I've never wanted to blow up fellow musicians.
Especially so ones who I've worked with on patches.

Imagine if Trump and the Ayatollah worked on a patch together. "How can we fight? Listen to the patch we made!". Both the patch design process and finished patch could be televised. I haven't watched TV in a decade or so, but I'd certainly get a TV/tune in to the Political Patch channel.


Modular walls for world peace :)

Back to reality: yes, great sound. Nothing added to the sound post-pro, aside from a fade at the end.

All best
Kris"

Oakley Sound Systems Goes Eurorack


Oakley Sound has been known for their larger 5U/MU DIY projects. It looks like they are now entering eurorack.

"PCBs are available right now. Documentation is already available but I'll be adding more details on the construction side of things to the Builder's Guides over the next week or so.

I hope to port most of my 5U modules into Eurorack over the next year or two. As well as some newer ideas I want to build."

You can find details on their DIY Eurorack Synthesizer Projects page.

Pictured:

"The 8HP wide fixed filter bank is based on my own human voice module which was first released as a half rack project and then a 5U module some time ago. Those modules were originally based on the human voice presets of the VP-330. This time I've given each of the seven band pass filters its own level pot."

"Theremon is a digital theremin and MIDI controller that you can either build from a kit, or order fully assembled. Like a traditional theremin, Theremon is played without physical contact with one hand controlling pitch, and the other volume. In the place of the two antennas found on a traditional theremin, Theremon features two time of flight sensors that accurately measure the distance of the player’s hands from the instrument."

Yamaha EW20 Wind Jamm'r - Wind Controller Electronic Saxophone Synth w/ Midi

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

via this auction

Update via the comments: "WindJammer does not support the sysex implementation of the WT11, and as far as I remember does not have the secret edit menu available in the WT11"

You can find one previous post featuring the EW20 including a demo here.

"Even More Obscure Than the WT11: the EW20 “Wind Jamm'r Electronic Woodwind”

Not too many people remember this one. Released in 1989 and primarily marketed to high school band students, the EW20 was a Yamaha MIDI wind controller and wind tone generator (a.k.a wind synth) combo set. Neither the EW20 tone generator nor the wind controller where sold separately. The EW20 was actually marketed and sold by Yamaha's band instruments division and this probably has a lot to do with the fact that very few remember it.

The combo set was comprised of the Electronic Woodwind tone generator and a wind controller that was setup similarly to a recorder. Many people, including some from Yamaha, state the the EW20 tone generator is just a WT11 in a significantly less cool case. I have no way of knowing this for sure, but i do know that it was a basic Yamaha four op FM synth module.

The EW20 used a special controller cable to communicate with the tone generator. This cable/connector is NOT the same as the Yamaha WX connector (which in itself is a “special” connector), but rather a cable specific to just the EW20 rig. So if you run across one and consider buying it, definitely verify that the cable is working and in good condition. I'm sure the pin-out can be copied by someone but i would not want to go through the hassle. The EW20 tone generator does have MIDI in, out and thru. Because of this, you can certainly use the EW20 tone generator without the wind controller but keep in mind that you cannot hook a WX7, WX11 or WX5 directly into the EW20 tone generator. You would have to go through a BT7 or similar first and then output the MIDI."

" This came from the studio of a composer for Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. It comes complete with the original manual and a cool travel case with blue lining. There are very minor blemishes from wear and tear. Definitely a nice piece to add to any studio collection.

Its a lovely synth capable of a lot of different sounds.
Don't be fooled about the fact that its a single oscillator synth.
You can double the sound and it have also a sub oscillator.
The routing possibilities are almost endless and unique."

Roland Jupiter-4 40th anniversary extended demo


Published on Jun 30, 2019 synthlegends

"I know this demo is long, maybe much too long. It was difficult to decide, what I can erase. Finally I decided to make a long demo and give a small schedule, so you can choose, what kind of sounds you are interested in.

The Roland Jupiter-4 is a very strong, agressive, massive, but also sweet sounding synth. The sound is really incredible for only one VCO with one Sub-VCO. In this this Demo you will listen to this wide range of sounds.

The Roland JP-4 came out 1978, mine is from Nov. 1979 with the later filter board.

The great features of the JP-4 are:
- extremely fast envelopes
- ultra fast LFO and also slow LFO to get FM sounds and very slow filter sweeps as well
- fantastic sounding filter with ultra fat and sweet self resonance
- stereo chorus, not so strong like in the Juno 6/60, but very musical
- nice arpeggiator with triggering by a sequencer or drum machine
- random S/H filter modulation
- fantastic versatile bender board
- you can trim the 4 voices and slightly detune them on the back of the unit to achieve a really fat sound
- polyphonic portamento

Here is a schedule for getting quick access to the different parts in this video:
0:00 Part 1. Lovely Pads with resonance
3:20 Part 2. Arpeggio fun with different sounds
12:13 Part 3. Aggressive bass sounds
15:25 Part 4. Weird and angry fx sounds
23:17 Part 5. Strings and Pads
33:52 Part 6. Sweet melodies
41:11 Part 7. Orchestral string sounds
45:55 Part 8. Portamento and modulations

I used as FX a GFI Clockwork Delay Pedal, nothing else. There is no additional mastering or equalizing. I think the JP-4 sounds very dry, so a bit delay or reverb is necessary.

Thanks for watching this ultra long video. I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers."

Frankfurt Süd- Oberheim OB-Mx -Music Track.


Published on Jun 29, 2019 100 Things I Do

"When you first turn on the OB-Mx like many vintage analog synths, it takes a long time for the voices to stabilise. Sometimes when the voices are out of tune it can be very inspiring and this is whats happened here. I turned on the synth, found the patch.. gave it an initial tune and just let the synth drift.

The OB-Mx in many ways can sound like a CS-80, you can even do faux Ring modulation by pushing the VCA of VCO 1 and VCO 2. A magical synth that was totally out of place when it was released in the 90's! Such a shame they are going for so much money now, I would love some extra voices.

Massively inspired by Brian Eno's work on David Bowie's LOW (I was on the way to Berlin when I shot the footage)

I'm using the Valhalla Delay and Vintage Verb on this track and my home rolled Crystal Echo's patch :D"

Tonestar 8106 Batty for Pulse Width


Published on Jun 29, 2019 StudioElectronics

"IG:

Beloved Square Waves and their Pulse Widths meet #OutsToOuts patching, with a touch of Toolbar sweetening. Colors abound, smooth to staggering—especially when tag-teamed oscillator and filter audio rate modulation digs its heels in. Drenching and quenching "resonancy" filter tracking and oscillation break up & wake up, near half way through, after shattering and jagged, bar line moving, vibrated squares dance for their supper. OK, it's late and showing in my prose. Wait... the peaceful ticking at end... it's so nice.

Enjoy,

Erica Synths-Black Modulator as a source of noise for drums


Published on Jun 29, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Helllo Guys !!!
today I have a small movie using the Black Modulator LFO module from Eric Synths.
In addition to this, the Black Modulator is an LFO module, it is also a source of noise, offering three noises. White Noise, Pink Noise and Crushed Noise, I made sounds from each of them for this video and used them as sounds of Drums.
Of course, this is a full synthesis of the same noise so I also used modules such as Pico VCF, Pico EG, Black Quad VCA and Black VC EG.
As you can see, shortening the hat with the Black VC EG module first linearly later on the Logarytmic and gave me some fun and add kick from Pico DRUMS!
But mainly I wanted to pay attention to the fact that black Modulator is not only LFO module. Buying it you get three potential sources of noise, you can also patch them yourself with LFO because they work independently"

Volca Role-Reversal Jam! (Volca Drum as Synth/Volca Modular as Drum Machine!)


Published on Jun 29, 2019 Oscillator Sink

"I've come to terms with the fact that using synths as drum machines is kinda 'my thing' now. I also "have prior" for using drum machines as synths.

In this jam, all of the synth lines are coming from the Volca Drum, and the percussion is coming from the Volca Modular. The Volca Drum is being recorded through the Digitech Polara Reverb to give it a little more ambience; the Volca Modular is recorded dry - any ambience you hear is coming from its internal "Space" effect. There's a little EQ and compression in the mix, but haven't added anything else.

Both Volcas are running a single pattern, but the Volca Drum is taking advantage of the 'Active Step per Track' trick along with Step Probability and the Volca Modular is in Stochastic mode with lots of 'Woggle' so there's quite a bit of variation happening within those single patterns."

Published on Jun 28, 2019 EverettDudgeon138

"And now for something completely different...

Inspired by the Jerry Goldsmith score for The Mephisto Waltz, I wanted to use the Prophet-X in a more classical oriented score using only the amazing piano and string samples from 8Dio. I synced all the sequences from my DAW and used the onboard effects, sequencer and features of the PX.

Ritual Electronics Altar SVF & Miasma Distortion Eurorack Modules


Published on Jun 28, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"We just started carrying Ritual Electronics modules and we made this bass sound with their Altar state variable filter and Miasma distortion. The Altar is a unique state variable filter in that it is an 18db/octave filter where most SVF filters are only 12db/octave. The Altar has continuously variable filter types and an input gain circuit that can overdrive the filter core for tons of dirty filter sounds.

The Miasma is a distortion with built in feedback routing that can lead to screaming self oscillation. When the Crime expander module is added to the Miasma you can use the rotary switches to select different combinations of diodes for different distortion types.

The drums in this video came from the Befaco Kickall and the WMD Crucible.

Features Overview: Boredbrain INTRFX Eurorack FX Interface

The INTRFX facilitates effects processing between eurorack, guitar pedals and electronic instruments.

3 channels of send & return level conversion
Per-channel selection of either eurorack thru pedals or line-instrument thru eurorack
FX blend control with CV input
Capable of FX feedback and linear VCA functionality
Small tabletop form-factor

Want to connect outboard gear to your eurorack synthesizer without taking up valuable HP in your case? The INTRFX allows eurorack-level signals to be processed with pedals and/or outboard effects, and also allows line-level instruments to be processed with eurorack modules. Each of its three channels has an Interchange Switch to swap this mode, as well as an FX Blend parameter which can be controlled via CV. Because of its compact physical design, the INTRFX can be placed almost anywhere and connected to eurorack systems with 3.5mm patch cables rather than bulkier 1/4-in cables.

Feedback effects can be achieved by switching into the "wrong" mode, sending the FX return back into the FX send, while still allowing for dry signal blend and modulation. Channels can also be patched into one another and toggled between modes for experimental routing. Conveniently, each channel can operate as a reversed linear VCA for both audio and DC signals when no effects are used.

Whether you'd like to patch eurorack through some classic pedals or run a drum machine through your gnarliest modules, INTRFX makes these connections easy and flexible.

"The DPX-1 has the rare ability to play back samples from a bunch of different models of classic 80s samplers. This is a dream for some who love and use the many great sounding stock sample libraries from these devices. The unit is very simple and has both 3.5" and 5" floppy and a couple buttons.

It can play back samples from the E-mu Emulator II, Sequential Prophet 2000, 2002, 2002+, Ensoniq Mirage DSK8/DMS8 and the Akai S900.

This unit is in good working condition with some overall wear from being moved in and out of rack cases over the years."

via this auction

"The Synthesizer 101 section is a fully self-contained analog mono-synth. It features a 37-note keyboard (with no performance controls, velocity or aftertouch), and lots of sliders to tweak. Its design is similar to the SH-series analog synths. Controls for the VCO, LFO, VCF lowpass/highpass filters, VCA with ADSR, Noise, and Portamento/Glide effects are all within hands reach. There's also a handy A-440Hz tuning oscillator. Oscillator Waveforms are Triangle, Square, Saw and Pulse Width. The Pulse Width can be modulated by the ADSR Envelope, LFO or a 'Manual' Pulse Width slider. Control by CV/Gate. This synth really does sound incredible - especially the Pulse Width waveforms.

Condition:
The synth was bought about 18 months ago and was fully serviced by the Seller before the sale. All components are in working order. There is some oxidation to the face and the keys have some dis-colouration - having said that it is in very good cosmetic condition for it's age. See the detailed photos for more information.

The synth has original Japanese plug and therefore requires a step-down transformer to be used in the United Kingdom or Europe. This must be bought separately."

Moog Memorymoog Plus + Minimoog Custom Zebra Wood Pair - Fully Restored //RRS//

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

via this auction - video here

"Here is a special RRS listing- a pair of Moog synthesizers restored inside and outside in matching zebra wood cases made by a professional wood worker.

And to boot, they’re both ideal model’s as well. Talk about a triple threat package!

This pair is being sold on behalf of our client John R, who lovingly and professionally built the zebra wood cabinets for these fantastic synthesizers. He also added red piano felt above the keys.

John then commissioned us to restore and sell the pair for him. Since this is a matching set, we will not separate the two machines.

About the synths:

The Moog is a 1974 unit, featuring a vinyl panel & cream pitch and mod wheels. Externally, it is near flawless and in incredibly good condition. Inside, it’s been fully restored by us with the full compliment of upgrades we do for minimoog’s, including a full clean out, changing of all matches resistors, new trimmers, a full thermal compensation update, pitch wheel deadband conversion, and a full recap and rebuilding of the keyboard. This minimoog is perfect, no doubt about it.

The memorymoog is a plus model upgraded with DBM midi. It has a quieter fan, and has been fully rebuilt with a comprehensive suite of new capacitors and resistor changes where needed. The supply is stabilized and the keyboard has also been revitalized for years and years of flawless performance. All common failing components have been replaced preemptively. This is a fine memorymoog no doubt about it, and flawless operates with all 6 voices tuning and stays in tune quite well between tuning cycles.

Shipping these will be expensive, as two labels will be needed. Please note you will likely need to spend more on shipping after purchase.

Because these instruments are both fine inside and out, we are aiming for a high selling price. We will not entertain lowball offers.

Both instruments, as with all of our instruments, are provided with a lifetime warranty against defects in our work quality. Should any issues arise in the future, we will be first to ensure you’re helped professionally and fruitfully. We will not accept returns of any sort on these units."

"A fantastic synth, circa 1974. One minute surrounded by air, the next throttling wooly and present. Tangible, immediate, and expressive, the 700 series is hands down one my favorite synthesizers -- I've owned four.

You may notice that this is one of the rather rare models that has the additional fine-tune pitch control on the second oscillator. Super-useful.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: This particular machine came with quite a few chips toward the backside of its wooden ends (plus a sticker), but the faceplate actually looks nice.

FUNCTIONAL CONDITION Everything works well and, as you can hear in the video, it sounds awesome.

The one exception: the EFFECT switch, which turns on and off the second oscillator. This switch is finicky. This switch was finicky on the LAST one of these i had, too. I had it fixed three times on that machine before I just swore to never touch it again. After all, it’s an entirely unnecessary switch, as the fader directly above it is the volume for the second oscillator, which is just as easy to use.

When I got THIS machine, I tried it once, it seemed to work ooooookay, but not excellent, so again, I just never used it. Which is what I’d recommend to the next owner as well. It’s just not necessary, and is one of the very few parts of these machines that isn't built like a tank.

Other than that, the only thing I’d mention... a lot of folks aren't familiar with how tweakable the 700 series is via their internal pots. If desired, there is even more sonic flexibility and customization under the hood."

WMD Arpitecht and METRON - Work flow examples, tips and tricks!


Published on Jun 28, 2019 WMDevices

"The WMD Arpitecht was designed a few years ago and was originally conceived as a quantizer. We realized quickly that there was much more to be done with this concept and that it could be a powerful bass line and melody generator when used with the right equipment.

In this video, Alex goes into use case for Arpitecht and how it partners well with the METRON eurorack trigger and gate sequencer. Starting with simple quantizing of an external sequence and then diving deep into arpeggio generation, how to use it to it's full potential to create cool, moving bass lines and melodies."

"This is a no-talking demo of Native Instruments new Massive X synth plugin. I just browse through some presets and play some melodies. No external effects were used, just a single dry instance of massive X.

Note: The reason I don't often have the GUI shown in the video is that it's VERY cpu hungry on my laptop to the point where the CPU maxes out and the fans go crazy and the sound starts dropping out. So in order to make this video I unfortunately couldn't show you guys the plugin in real-time. I'm hoping that this can be optimized in a future update."

"One of the weirdest and most unrelenting synthesizers ever made. Only around 50 or so units exist! Armed with a ribbon controller strip at the bottom - the warm analog goodness is further amplified by the input of human touch. This vicious beast is capable of churning out a vast palate of sound - from bleeps and bloops to dreamy soundscapes, from torid screeches & squawks to percussive metallic clangs, noisy walls of sound to the echoing depths of space. Your programming ability is your greatest weapon. Expect to fiddle around with the various parameters at your disposal to achieve sudden moments of clarity, only to find your temporary destination is muddled by the curiosity to keep on pressing further into uncharted territory. Have either photographic equipment/a sampler/ a pencil & paper ready because you’ll be stumbling onto new sonic discoveries with every knob turn. I will include 5 one-foot patch cables to start you off on your journey. A power adapter will be provided as well."

Pic of the inside below.

"This is a beautiful example of of a rare synthesizer! Originally designed to be controlled from your guitar (pick up is NOT included but the connector cable is) it can also easily be controlled from CV/Gate. It is essentially an Odyssey...just BIGGER! It is monophonic. The only thing that hasn't been tested is the pitch tracking ability with a guitar since we do not have the pick up

This has been serviced and is in good working order. Some of the sliders may need to be moved up and down a couple times to reduce some slight crackling. The "high/low" switch on the back for the output volume can cut out briefly if its bumped but once its set in place it is fine."
