Affordable sampling in 1985: Korg SDD-2000


Published on Feb 17, 2019 SynthMania

"The Korg SDD-2000 was a cool sampling digital delay from the mid-'80s, that allowed users to control samples via MIDI. Back in the days when samplers were very expensive, DDLs were a good way to get in the sampling game without breaking the bank."

SEQUENTIAL PROPHET X | Sounds, Presets & Ambient Soundscapes【SYNTH DEMO】


Published on Feb 17, 2019 synth4ever

"Sequential Prophet X 61-key synthesizer demo, featuring Prophet X sounds, presets and ambient soundscapes. The Sequential Prophet X is a futuristic hybrid digital/analog synth that blends traditional synthesis with high quality samples from 8Dio.

The Prophet X is a bi-timbral, 8-voice-stereo, 16-voice mono/stereo, 32-voice paraphonic synthesizer. It has 2 sample-based oscillators + 2 digital oscillators, with 150 GB of internal samples from 8Dio and 50GB of additional storage for user-imported samples.

The Prophet X features an analog 4-pole resonant low-pass filter, digital high pass filter, 4 loopable five stage envelopes, 4 LFOs (triangle, saw, reverse saw, square, random), 64-step polyphonic step sequencer, arpeggiator, digital effects, a 16-slot modulation matrix with 28 sources and 92 destinations, 64 alternative tunings, semi-weighted keys with aftertouch, 512 factory & 512 user programs.

The 2 multi-sampled stereo instruments per voice feature editable sample start, sample end, loop size, and loop center, loop on/off, sample reverse, sample stretch, bit-rate reduction, and sample rate reduction which enables incredible sample control and movement.

The Sequential Prophet X allows for creative sound design and sonic exploration, putting cinematic performances at your fingertips. In this Prophet X demo I cover various sounds and presets as well as some ambient soundscapes to showcase some of the features of the Prophet X. This demo features pads, percussion, arpeggiators, cinematic strings, textures and piano improvisation.

The Sequential Prophet XL is the larger version with full-sized, semi-weighted, 76-key, Fatar TP/8 keyboard with velocity and channel (mono) aftertouch.

Both the Prophet X and Prophet XL are fantastic sounding hybrid digital/analog synths, and give you the power to create and compose music using both samples and synthesis in exciting new ways within a single instrument. "

LaserGong | Flanigan Ayoub & Chadra


Published on Feb 17, 2019 ClavAnother

"While recording bed tracks for the album, we fired a laser at Cory's gong which was being fed audio from the gong after being run through Bubba's modular synthesizer. A super cool side effect was that the laser got reflected onto the ceiling and then Cory was able to see it as well.

"The Optigan has a unique sound which is attributed to the optical discs containing pre-recorded backing tracks and unique lead tone for the keyboard portion. Each disc has five accompaniment tracks which can be triggered. Usually a beat, various instrumental accompaniment & often more percussion. Each disc is loaded with unique and very musical content.

Includes Twelve Discs! Original discs are rare and very sought after- so this is a rare opportunity to pick up a stack of them along with a sweet Optigan!

Playing condition:
Working - the keyboard works great, all but two keys play (the highest and lowest) are not making sound. A couple of the 'chord organ' buttons on the left side are intermittent but this is something that can be repaired with contact cleaner.

More about the Optigan:
If you are not familiar with the Optigan, the sound is not 'hi-fidelity' but is very unique and is loved by many admirers familiar with what it does!"

Access Virus TI Polar Synthesizer Upgraded to TI2

via this auction

"This synth started its life as a first generation TI Polar.

It was then upgraded by the manufacturer to a second generation TI2 Polar where it was fitted with the new, more powerful TI2 processor. At the time, the synth was also assigned a new serial number designating it as a TI2 Polar.

The only differences between this "Hybrid" synth and an out-of-the-box TI2 Polar are minor cosmetic differences in the case, and one less USB port (TI comes with 2 USB ports; TI2 comes with 3 USB ports)."

Dave Smith DSI Evolver


Published on Feb 17, 2019

"This is a little tribute to Dave Smith and his amazing Evolver monosynth. This synth is now over sixteen years old and certainly its interface is feeling a little dated, but so much of what Dave Smith developed inside this synth has set the standard for everything that DSI have produced since, including the feedback circuit, modulation routings and four-channel sixteen step sequencer. Watch out for my next video which will go through the Evolver's features in more detail, including its very impressive software editor and VST plugin.

Special credits go to the following link for giving me access to the precious audio from Dave Smith's original product demonstration way back in 2003 which was broadcast by the Synthesiser Service Centre (SSC), London UK:

FM synthesis on the Yamaha EX5


Published on Feb 17, 2019 Floyd Steinberg

"The Yamaha EX5 features a virtual analog synth engine which is capable of frequency modulation, using one of three possible algorithms. This video shows how to set up a sound to utilize this, and some workarounds to the limitations of the synth engine."

Simon & Garfunkel Save the Life of My Child featuring the Vintage Moog Modular System


Published on Feb 27, 2010

"The album begins softly, but takes a heavier turn with the second track, 'Save the Life of My Child,' which uses the sounds of a distorted synthesizer and is a noted departure from the softer sound that was the signature of the duo. 'Save the Life of My Child' also features a sample from their single 'The Sounds of Silence' ... which starts with a bass sound personally set up by Bob Moog himself."

And via Art Garfunkel's website:

"Robert Moog had invented the synthesiser, and was having courses, in New York, for those who wanted to learn about this. And we would go to these classes to learn about this instrument. And we arranged to bring the whole thing into the studio, it’s an enormous contraption. We didn’t know how to use it. We knew it could make these wonderful saw-tooth buzzy sounds. It could do so many different things, but we said let’s use it as a bass instrument, let it be a pretend electric bass, a synthesised bass, and we tried to exploit the buzzy sound of the low end. So, that’s the first time that had ever been used."

Explore 'Odyssey' in VCV Rack


Published on Jan 8, 2019 Fahmi M.

“It is very close in most ways, I owned 2 different Oddys back in the day.
The oscillators are a bit ballsier than arps, but filtered back a bit they are very close. the HPF can thin them a bit also.. Adding the third VCO was a tribute to the MiniMoog. I was going to make the 3rd osc go between audio and LFO, then decided to add a 3rd audio VCO, so you would always have the LFo for modulation.
The the filter seems to be halfway between the 2nd and 3rd version. It is all around pretty close. The over patching available is as close as I could get. In the end it is what I would mod an Oddy to sound like.”

Moog Prodigy MK2 with MIDI and mods

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Feb 16, 2019 Vco Vca


via this auction

"This is a serviced and calibrated Moog Prodigy MK2 with added MIDI and mods.
Cosmetically it is in a very good condition. Some of the lettering is a bit faded and there are some minor scratches but overall in very nice condition. Even the wood side have a nice vintage tone.
It comes with it original manual.

Unit modifications consists of:
- LFO speed feedback led added
- Loudness contour feedback led added
- Pitch can be modulated by filter enveloppe. Depth of the effect is controlled by a new dedicated pot in the modwheel section.
- there is a switch and led indicator to alternate between pitch bend control of the pitch or filter enveloppe control of the pitch (you can't get both at the same time).

Last and not least the prodigy is enhanced with a Midi to CV interface, the Doepfer MCV4.
This unit enables control of 4 CVs over MIDI.
3 CVs are currently used so there is one left if you feel the need to further modify the synth.
Also by controlling the unit over midi you can have control over enveloppe retrigger, note priority and velocity control. All of these functions are impossible to get on the synth alone.µ
My unit has aftertouch control of the filter as long as velocity and modwheel control of the filter.
One nice feature over midi is also the ability to transpose a running sequence from the synth keyboard."

AELITA 3-VCO RARE VINTAGE SOVIET ANALOG SYNTHESIZER SN 605106

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Feb 17, 2019 GLvintageSHOP

"AELITA is a 3-oscillator monophonic synthesizer with 44 keys, produced by the Murom radio plant in USSR in eighties. The device is housed in a strong aluminum body. Sound control is performed with handy faders and buttons. The synth has really impressive analog sound - it is convenient for modeling of fat analog basses, classic rock leads, hard razor waves, various space FX`s, noises, ambient textures and much more... It is able to form both hard and soft timbres. By activating the UNISON function, the number of simultaneously sounding voices may be 5 or 6. Because you can detune the three independent oscillators, it is possible to create 'one finger chord hits'."

Roland's first proper TB-303 emulator? There was the MC-303 (and MC-505 before it), but I believe the MC-303 was more inspired by the TB-303 rather than emulating it like the MC-09. The MC-09 had the ability to capture and loop phrases much like a 4-track tape where you could bounce tracks.  I still need to dig into mine one of these days.  Editing on it wasn't the most intuitive so it kind of just sits there waiting for a "rainy day".

"The Monowave is a wavetable synthesiser with 256 waves available for each of the two oscillators. Each oscillator also has a sub-oscillator. The filter is a copy of the Moog filter, there are separate envelope generators for the filter and amplifier, and a simple LFO. The panel is very 'retro' and 'traditional' with knobs for every function and a simple display. Internally, the circuitry is all analogue (except for the digital circuitry used in the oscillators)... no wimpy DSP thank you very much - this is a 'real' synth!!"

"So here's another 100% Nord Lead track, maybe not quite what I went into the studio to achieve today, but who doesn't like a bit of creepy sci-fi soundscape every now and again? So there's 4 layer of Nord Lead one here with just a touch of reverb in Reaper and nothing more. I really like the Nord's ability to get really weird and wonky when the oscillators are pushed past where they comfortable so I used that a lot here."
