The OB-6 sound on a budget?

Published on Mar 22, 2019 Tim Shoebridge

"In this video I take a brief look at building a simple Eurorack effects box to mimic the beautiful sound of the OB-6 and Oberheim synths in general.

The gear I purchased and assembled in this video is as follows:

Doepfer A-106-5 SEM Filter x 2 - Used prices were £67 and £69.
Doepfer A-145 LFO - Used price was £40
Doepfer A-100LC1 48hp Eurorack case - Used price was £85

Total cost excluding cables: £261

Finally, a huge shout-out to Starsky Carr for his fantastic OB-6 vs Prophet6 video which kick-started me on my journey of gear-lust for the OB-6!" Check it out here.

Tangible Waves Abused Electronics AE Modular Rack 1

via this auction

"The AE Modular Rack 1 is a cute little desktop synth system that is fully modular. It really sounds great with really no compromise on circuits as the cost reduction is only reserved for the lack of jacks and size of the hardware.

This system is their standard rack 1 but includes some added modules for a pretty capable setup!

There are two VCOs, wasp filter, MIDI to CV, noise, LFO, sample and hold, VCA, two EGs, beat divider, 10 step sequencer, USB outputs, and delay. All the modules include a fair amount of CV for a system of this price range and size, making this a great buy for anyone looking to get into modular or expand some other gear.

This instrument is in great shape and includes the original packaging with power supply, quick start guide, MIDI adapter, and lots of tiny patch cables."

Deluge FM: Exploring the Frequency Modulation synthesis engine

Published on Mar 22, 2019 Olivier Ozoux

"I posted my last video a few hours before jumping on a plane to work on a project in Australia, think I would have plenty of time to.... Well, it's now almost 3 months later.

I did shoot some stuff while I was there, starting with this little exploration of the FM synth engine in the Deluge.

I'm obviously not the world's foremost authority on Frequency Modulation Synthesis, but I hope that some of you will find this useful."

Casio FZ-1 Hybrid 16-Bit Digital Sampler & Synth

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

via this auction

"The FZ-1 is a 5-octave keyboard (61-key) and hybrid sampler/synthesizer released by Casio Computer Company in 1987.

The FZ-1, at that time, offered impressive sampling features: A 1 MB (10242 bytes) sampling memory (expandable to 2 MB), booting from ROM rather than an OS diskette, harmonic additive synthesis and digital subtractive synthesis in one complete package. Like the Fairlight CMI the FZ-1 used a GUI-driven menu system in which all functions were listed under specific menus and sub-menus. However, unlike the Fairlight, the FZ-1 did not use a stylus and qwerty keyboard for input. Instead, the FZ-1 used data sliders (like those present on the Yamaha DX range of synthesizers), 4-way cursor keys, an alphanumeric key-pad, plus "yes"/"no" buttons that also acted as a means of data increment or decrement.

I was honestly surprised what I could tickle out of that tiny box with only 3 patch cables in the end.

Starting on a severe Monday ending its journey on a contemplative Sunday."

Free Korg Monologue Patch Pack: Drum and Percussion Loops

Published on Mar 22, 2019 Oscillator Sink

Korg Monologue Drums and Percussion Loops Patch Pack - Demo of All 30 Patches


"I'm excited to announce a new patch pack for the Korg Monologue that is being released in association with Korg.

This patch pack is maybe a little different to most others for the Monologue. It's actually more of a “loop pack” - 30 drum and percussion loops for the Korg Monologue.

I know what you're thinking: “the Monologue isn't a drum machine”. But thanks to the Monologue’s exceptional sequencer, it absolutely can be, and using a monosynth as a drum machine can yield exciting, unique percussive loops and textures that you'd just never arrive at with conventional drum machines.

Although you can select one of these patches and play the keyboard, the real fun comes when you start the sequencer. Each patch is designed to be a standalone loop which you can use out of the box, but I've tried to leave plenty in each patch to explore. The mod lever is set to offer instant tweaking gratification, but playing with the other parameters can reveal all sorts of new expressions; also try enabling and disabling the sequencer steps, tweaking the motion sequence and changing the notes in the sequence. Please note that because some of the patches rely on tempo-synced LFOs, you may need to restart the sequence after changing patches,

These loops also sound great with additional processing - try adding compression, saturation, delay, reverb etc. in your DAW or on your mixing desk to enhance and augment the loops.

I hope that in addition to being fun loops to use in your own music, whether you use them as they come, or you tweak them to perfection, this pack demonstrates how you can create your own unique percussion loops on the Monologue.

Its the LEPLOOP!!!! A Deep dive with -CALC-

Published on Mar 22, 2019 -CALC-

"This is a really long video... its 7 minutes before I stop waffling and there is even any Leploop sound.
Finally though here is a tutorial I have been wanting to make for a long long time.
The marvellous Italian groovebox of wonders.... the LEPLOOP.

Clocking in at 1 hour and 8 minutes this is not for the faint hearted, it gets pretty hairy at points too but it covers what this unusual groovebox is and how it does what it does......

The first half considers the voice engines and how they are controlled, the second half concentrates on what must be one of the most awkward but ultimately rewarding sequencers of all time.
Its a beast but with perseverance it can be tamed... well actually I'm not sure tamed is the right word.

I hope someone somewhere finds it useful in breaking the enigmatic code of the LEPLOOP

Cheers
