Gershon Kingsley [Episode 210]


Published on Dec 26, 2019 CatSynth TV

"We discuss the life and work of Gershon Kingsley, who passed away on December 10, 2019.

Kingsley is perhaps best known for his 1968 synth-pop tune Popcorn, which has been covered many times. However, he had quite a varied career as an electronic musician, with a variety of styles as the founder of The First Moog Quartet, and also as the composer of many modernist works exploring Jewish identity and liturgy."

New Sidraw by Meng Qi

(🎧 🔊 recommended for subbass)


read the informative manual : https://bit.ly/35Y6MwS

"Sidraw is an experimental electronic instrument, based on Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrazzi circuit board, and my interface experiments.

There is a way to design electronic musical interface, which is not to consider sound parameters, but to think from the angle of circuit interference, I call it 'Circuit Expression'.

It can be seen on various experimental electronic musical instruments. From the Crackle Box by Michel Waisvisz back in 1970s, to the new Landscape Stereo Field and Martin Howse Dark Interpreter. UK synth designer Tom Bugs also had been utilizing them in the Weevil series of work. I've commissioned a special version of Chirper from Tom Bugs, which may have pushed the release of Board Chirper model a year later.

This method has a lot to do with circuit instability, touch and feedback. by touching selected circuit nodes, new connections are made, circuits behaviors are affected.

On sound output, it may result in a complex change on a combination of sound parameters (loudness, pitch, timber), and expressive reactions can be found.

I've found expressive behaviors from touching specific parts in Sidrazzi circuit, thus Sidraw is born.

(7 identical voices, only voice 1 marked)
1 - [Stereo Output] 1/4 TRS
2 - [DC Input] 12V Center Positive
3 - [Ground Banana Jack] 4mm
4 - [Utility Patch Bay] 4mm - 2mm Direct + 2mm - 2mm w/Capacitor - Try patching with or without capacitor in between for different behaviors.
5 - [Gesture Outputs] 1 for each L/R channel, output when sound is triggered 6 - [FM Input]
7 - [Square Wave Output]
8 - [Glitch Inputs]
9 - [Direct VCA Input] 4.5v = silence, with pad for easy touching
10 - [Master Pitch Knob]

Lyra-8 (& Matrixbrute etc): "Rivulets"


Published on Dec 26, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Hello all - Merry Christmas to everyone. I trust everyone is well/enjoying the festivities. To the track: two Lyra-8's, Matrixbrute, plus a few others. The second Lyra (the distant, high one: very obvious at the end) is a beautiful sound; very reminiscent of the glass armonica.

Something more musical on the Lyra-8 this time (the last track was quite dark!). Good to hear the Lyra in context with other instruments. It works very well/pairs nicely - especially with the Matrixbrute.

Never seen one of these before. Some notes on the Synth enginge below.

"The GE300 from MOOER is the flagship multi-effect instrument processor. By combining the well-received Micro Preamp series, TONE CAPTURE instrument matching technology, tri-voice polyphonic synthesizer module, and a wide-range of guitar effects and tools, the GE300 embellishes every single motive for creation from your mind with nuanced details.

The GE300 contains dual-DSP processors delivering the fastidious detailed characterizes of every delay, reverb, modulation or amp model inside. Thanks to the intuitive and simple UI, controls, and connection ports, the GE300 is an all-in-one working station for musicians whether in a live situation, at home, or in the studio.

Synth

With the synth module, your instrument will be transformed into an electronic synthesizer without the need for special pickups or instrument modifications, allowing you to spark your creativity with more possibilities.

As you can see from the diagram, the SYNTH ENGINE has 3 independent voices with their own parameters for waveform, pitch, attack, level, filter and arpeggiator. The signal path from the instrument input is split and routed directly to the front of each synth voice so they remain completely parallel and independent from one another. The thru dry signal can also be mixed parallel to the entire synth effect block, so you can opt for synth only or mix it with your guitar signal..."

Crumar Composer Analog Paraphonic Synthesizer SN 00222

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

via this auction

"Overall in very good condition, this Crumar Composer has been fully tested and is 100% functional. All pots, switches, and faders have been fully sprayed out with DeOxit electric cleaner. There are minor corrosion spots on the unit and signs of use. Please see photos.

The Crumar Composer is an analog paraphonic synthesizer. It has thick sound and combines 5 instruments which are a solo synth, a poly synth, an organ and strings. In the solo synth section there are 5 waveforms to choose from. It can be mixed with the poly synth to create a 3 oscillator instrument. The string section also has a Leslie speaker Bucket Brigade effect.
It also has a breath controller input where you just connect a tube and you can modulate the vca and vcf. it also has what is called touch vibrato in the mono synth section which is created by using you finger on the touch vibrato control.
The unit also offers pitch and modulation wheels for the other synth sections. Interestingly the Composer uses the same CEM chip to VCA, filters and envelope as the Memorymoog, Oberheim OBX, OBXa/OB8, SCI Prophet 5.Less than 400 units were produced by Crumar."

The Commodore Music Maker Deluxe Improvised Jam


Published on Dec 26, 2019 MrCaliforniaD

"First off, sorry for the occasional clipping of the sound console.

This is my friend Jay-Boi playing with the Music Maker Deluxe in a very basic but effective musical setup.

The Commodore controller is connected directly on the keyboard matrix of a Commodore 64c (SID 8580). The sound used is a 3 voice sawtooth waveform with adjustable LFO amount and filter amount using the 2 potentiometers on the side.

The audio out of the C64c is going inside a DIY MS-20 like filter box that receives it's modulation from the a Korg MS-20. The output of the filter box goes to a first track. The Korg MS-20 is connected to a second track.

If you want to know more about this Commodore 64 with piano keys, you can watch these two videos:" [posted here]

Another one spotted and sent in via M Me.

"This DX-1 is one of only 140 built: they were the flagship of the all-conquering Yamaha DX series of FM digital synths. A veritable behemoth weighing around 50 kilos, with 73 full-length weighted wooden keys and a wooden case. It offers 32 note polyphony and superb sonic performance thanks to the carefully-selected components. Uniquely for a vintage synth, it features polyphonic aftertouch. Yamaha built these to impress, not to a price point (they originally retailed at around £10,000 in 1984 – around £35,000 in today’s money).

Among Yamaha's DX line of synthesizers, the DX1 is definitely the biggest and most expensive. With a dual 6-operator digital FM engine, it's like two DX7's wrapped up in a wood-paneled case and comes with a truly professional weighted 73 note keyboard sensitive to both velocity and aftertouch. The DX7 style membrane buttons have been replaced by actual push-buttons, display screens and the overall layout of buttons and diagrams is nicer and better organized."

Korg Volca Modular - Boxing Day Warm Up Jam


Published on Dec 26, 2019 ChrisLody

"My missus was nice enough to buy me yet another Korg Volca this Christmas, the Korg Volca Modular!

So here's my first go on it. I found it quite mysterious when I first switched it on as 'West Coast' style synthesis is quite new to me, the naming conventions anyway. Luckily this Volca (unlike some others) has a very good manual so after a short while I was fairly comfortable with it.

Not tremendously complex this jam but it's my first Volca Modular jam in my new studio since we moved house, most of which is still in boxes so it's more of a warm up than anything."

Noisy Oscillator-Modor Music/3 pole VC morphing Filter Threek 13700-Funkstill/Dual LFO-Nakedboards


Published on Dec 26, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Today I have a small movie with cool modules such as Noisy Oscillator from Modor Music new 3 pole VC morphing Filter Threek 13700 from Funkstill and Dual LFO from nakedboards with the addition of some reverb from Black Hole DSP from Erica Synths.

I showed how the filter itself sounds in this Noisy Oscillator patch with the addition of built-in noise, so the name Noisy Oscillator, This VCO is digital but has SONAR noise, ARCADE noise and Wind noise and noise tune and FM modulation.

As you will see these are digital noise but they add a great effect in a patch like this one, at the end you have already crazy modulation, but by that time I also used FM and I was constantly changing the morphing mode in Threek Filter so I think this set is really great.

I also used various LFO changes not much but both waves were used with Dual LFO from nakedboards.

It's best to check it yourself.

For me these are dope modules !!!

Have a great day!!!"

The TRITON music workstation revived | KORG Collection for Mac/Win


Published on Dec 26, 2019 Korg



"The TRITON music workstation revived.
A synthesizer collection completely reconstructed in software.

More about KORG Collection at: http://www.korg.com/korg_collection/

More than 15 years have passed since the release of the KORG Legacy Collection, a pioneer of software-based synthesizers offering full recreations of the analog circuits and digital systems of generations of KORG synthesizers. In 2017, we added the ARP ODYSSEY and re-released the collection under the name Korg Collection.

Now in 2019, the TRITON is the newest addition to the Korg Collection. Originally released in 1999, the TRITON achieved huge popularity across many genres and continues to be used 20 years later. The new Korg Collection TRITON comes with the complete EXB-PCM soundboard series, giving you access to a huge array of sounds so you can achieve TRITON's full potential.

KORG's many generations of synthesizers are beloved by musicians around the world. Surpassing the boundaries of digital and analog, the KORG Collection continues to revive the distinctive sounds of synthesizers that have left their mark on the history of modern music."


"The long-awaited addition to the KORG Collection series, the TRITON Music Workstation Synthesizer, is finally available. As the originator, KORG reproduced everything perfectly without any compromise. Now you can finally get the sounds that rocked the hit charts in software.

Sounds that come to represent an era inevitably fall victim to the change of style and fashion. What once felt new and refreshing becomes dated and boring. Still, those sounds always retain the emotional value that originally touched the hearts of musicians and listeners alike. Over time, new generations bring their own flavor and combine the old and new advance the cutting edge of art and music. In this modern age of software synthesizers the KORG Collection, with generations of iconic KORG sounds, will surely be the trigger for that synthesis."
