Modular Penny Lane

Published on Dec 23, 2019 George Benton

"Playing a song using only a Modular Synthesizer. My custom synthesizers.com system recording one track at a time into Sonar X2.
19 tracks of audio. I wanted to try the old school method of recording like when modulars were first coming on the scene. Of course they had analog tape recorders with not nearly the number of tracks todays DAW's provide.
Penny Lane is one of my favorite Beatle songs. Thanks for visiting."

"A little improvisation on my JUPITER-6 in split mode. A bell sound in the upper part and a pad sound in the lower part. I used a BOSS CE-2w Chorua and a GIF Clockwork Delay Padal but nothing else in the signal path. Thank you very much for your supporting my channel this year. I wish you all the best for 2020. Stay tuned, be creative, healthy and happy."

New Mini Roland System 700 LAB Eurorack Clone by OMNiSYN

[000] OMNiSYN System 700 LAB Demo Published on Dec 21, 2019

"Clone of the Roland System 700 LAB"

This one was sent in by John L Rice.

OMNiSYN is a new maker as well. No additional info at the moment. It does look appear to be 3U eurorack of course.

You can spot three 702F oscillator modules on the far left for each row. A 703M Filter on the top and bottom rows, 705B dual ADSR envelop in the middle row, a Mixer in the middle row, and a few other modules.

Update via OMNiSYN in the comments:

"All modules (bar the 717 sequencer) are prototyped - prices would be comparable to to other manufacturers, but these are all dependent on availability of parts (some are custom and long lead time). Some videos on the full Roland System 700 clone are coming soon - stay tuned."

"All modules are 3U/12HP or 3U/18HP, case is 9U/60HP with 1A PSU and expansion port built in. All signals are brought to the front panels as was true in some of the original modules. Some modules have been expanded as in the mixer is now 2x 3 input and most modules use NOS original components. Hope this helps."

The original Roland System 700 Lab came with the following so this seems to match: 3 VCOs, 1 VCF, 1 VCA, 1 LFO, 2 ADSR EG, Noise (white & pink), Ring Mod, S/H and a Mixer.

Below is an image of one from the RL Music website. Apparently the signal path was normalized so you could play it minus cables like an ARP 2600. I'm guessing the OMNiSYN eurorack version consists of independent modules and is not normalized.

"This is a very powerful 3 oscillator normalised system with 1/4 inch jack In/Out for expanded sound creation possibilities and is based entirely on the system architecture of the full System 700."

Progress on the Behringer's Upcoming Yamaha CS80 Clone?

Note the mention of other instruments as well:

"We're very proud to announce that we have successfully completed our Poly Aftertouch Keyboard design, which no paves the way for many exciting new products.

It was not a trivial engineering effort but the performance is truly excellent - bit credit to our amazing engineering teams.

[DEMO] Roland MC-09

Published on Jul 16, 2017 Philip+

"I had this Roland MC-09 since the beginning of 2017. It is a good specimen of a very decent groovebox, with two synth parts (one bass and one lead), one drum part, a four-track looper and a very basic effects unit. Each of the synth voices are full-fledge monosynths, with one oscillator one low pass filter (modelled after the TB-303), one LFO and full ADSR envelope. Editing the sounds is possible using the front panel, but you will need to have the manual near by, as there are no clear marking regarding this feature on the front panel, and the messages from the 3-digit display are a little bit cryptic."

How To Kick (a discussion of kick drum synthesis)

Published on Dec 23, 2019 Oscillator Sink

"Welcome to the first video in a series where we'll be talking about drum and percussion synthesis. Throughout the series the Volca Drum will be used for the examples, but the ideas discussed will happily translate to many other synths.

We're kicking things off (ha ha) with kick drums - the centre-piece of beat based electronic music. Starting with the classic 'all-in-one-oscillator' approach, we'll expand on that to look at how having separate voices for the 'thwack' and 'boom' can really help you tailor your sound."

Steady State Fate SSF Zero Point Oscillator ZPO // unique thru zero FM & AM + morphing and more!

Published on Dec 23, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Here we have the wonderful ZPO from SSF. It has a totally unique take on "thru zero" modulation that couples the frequency modulation with amplitude modulation. Enabling either the linear of exponential FM to go into the thru zero modulation also couples that modulation into the "zero point". The zero point offers level control in a bipolar fashion which can invert waves and provide ring modulation. Merging TZFM and TZAM alongside the other features such as sync, waveform morphing, 3 types of pulse width modulation, sub oscillators and some unique waveform outputs really elevates this as a powerful analogue oscillator.

Bodie

Published on Dec 23, 2019 CatSynth TV

"Experimental film with scenes from Bodie, California and original music.

Bodie is a former gold-mining town and State Historic Park in California’s Bodie Hills, near the Nevada border. Bodie became a boom town in 1876 after the discovery of a profitable line of gold; by 1879 it had a population of 5,000–7,000. The town went into decline in the subsequent decades and came to be described as a ghost town by 1915. The 19th-century ghost town still exists encompasses numerous original buildings in varying states of decay. It was officially was established as Bodie State Historic Park in 1962 and is registered as a California Historical Landmark. The films open to scenes of desolation in the town, only to reveal that it now again filled with people, now tourists instead of miners.

CIAT LONBARDE - Weird Sound Diary Jam #TTNM

Published on Dec 23, 2019 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Here's a first jam session for my music diary with a bunch of Ciat Lonbarde gear I recently acquired.

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

Gear used:
- Ciat Lonbarde Sidrax Organ
- Ciat Lonbarde Cocoquantus
- Menq Qi / Ciat Lonbarde Rollz-5+

The Rollz-5 plays by itself and I patch the four drone synth voices in and out and later add some crazy chaos for a while.

The Sidrax Organ audio is fed into the Cocoquantus delays. Both instruments are patched together for some cross-modulation. By touching the unconnected banana plug, I modulate the chaos feature of the Sidrax Organ with cosmic energy from my JELLY_ASS, if you know what I mean."

Hohner Electronium - a vacuum tube synth from the 1950s

Published on Dec 23, 2019 HAINBACH

"In which I demonstrate one of the most beautiful instruments I ever had the pleasure of playing, the Hohner Electronium. Made by Hohner in the 1950s, this vacuum tube synth in Akkordeon form packs a deep bass and a rather poetic midrange. The German avantgarde of the time quickly discovered it, Stockhausen used the Model Pi (piano version), and Harald Boje played a modified version. You can hear it in Stockhausen's Telemusik and certain versions of Spiral.

Thanks to Jeremiah Runnels for this amazing gift!"

TTSH (ARP2600 clone) and ARP sequencer clone 1601

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

This one was spotted and sent in via M Me.

via this auction

"This is the TTSH v1 and includes fixes from the v1 recommendations, also have Gate input with Gatebooster to ensure compatibility with most synths that uses positive gate norm. (By default the ARP2600 or TTSH doesnt work with most part of gate signals, so need this adapter circuit to accept all positive gates signals) Also includes a top quality linear power supply with toroidal transformer. You can connect direct to AC using standard cable. This linear power supply ensure better performance than other standard switching regulators and DC DC converters... With this power supply the sounds improves a lot and is better to save from external laptop bricks used in the default configurations. The TTSH being a clone of a classic analog synth like the ARP 2600 improves a lot using a classic linear power supply!
The power supply can work in 100/110 or 220/240v. At this moment is set for 220/240v but can be changed via internal switch easily so can be set for your AC voltage spec before shipping.

Also for sale with it, the ARP Sequencer clone. Replica from the classic ARP Sequencer 1601. Is a pleasure to work with it, very musical and intuitive. The power Supply can run from 100 to 240v with no problem.

Instruments build by hand using classic thru-hole components. Not SMT parts are used.

The instruments were built 3 years ago. Instruments are used in studio only. Excellent/perfect working condition. Instruments can have some minor marks of use, but shape is very good."

"It’s a great sounding analog bass pedal system manufactured in Japan around the same time period that the Taurus 1 and II models were being marketed. It’s a great sounding instrument, giving you the type of sound that brings to mind that crazy fat but expensive Moog Taurus pedal sound. It’s made well, and is a completely 100% pre-midi analogue bass synthsesizer with real time performance controls. The mono bass sounds can range anywhere from being short and muted all the way to being real fat, with that VCA type mono synth sound so familiar with early analog synthesizers. A variety of sounds can be realized with this unit. There are three sections labeled Octave, Effect and Attack. There are 5 control pots above that section which fine tune the sound to the desired rate.There is a master tune knob that changes the pitch to a full half step up or down in either direction. There are also two pots that control overall tone and overall volume. There are two small red colored LEDs that are located above the Octave switches. The “hold” switch also has a corresponding red LED when activated. Both of the 'Attack' switches labeled “percussion” and “Mute” also have red LEDs above them that light when active. In the Effect section, there is a hold button, a sustain button, and an “expand” button. The hold button holds a note until another is depressed. The sustain of the note can be turned on or off, and the sustain length is determined by the sustain rotary pot located on the top row of 5 pots. The 'Expand' button, when selected, really has a dramatic effect on the sound. You immediately get that familiar single oscillator synth type sound so familiar with the mini Moogs and the Taurus pedals of the same time period. if you turn the rotary control knob back and forth while in the expanded mode, the sound is a classic VCF mono sweep! Very 70s!"
