No Chance - a synthpop jam on the OP-Z


Published on Mar 21, 2020 Payton Carter

"I've been stuck in the house all week, so I needed to make something a little upbeat today. Here's a happy synthpop jam on the Teenage Engineering OP-Z. The arpeggio track doesn't have an LFO, so I pretty much just noodle with the filter cutoff the entire time. Hope you enjoy!"

Enya's Boadicea from the Sleepwalkers Soundtrack performed on the Oberheim OB-8 synthesizer


Published on Mar 21, 2020 Sean Christopher Evoking Emotion with Synthesizers

"I've always enjoyed the music of Enya, and Boadicea from Steven King's Sleepwalkers soundtrack has always been one of my favorite tracks by her. I recently acquired an Oberheim OB-8 and thought that it would be a great synth to tackle recreating Boadicea,

My recreation is 100% Oberheim OB-8 and only reverb and delay were used for FX, and was multi-tracked into Cubase 10."

Vintage Moog Memorymoog Plus LAMM Lintronics Upgrade SN 3203 w/ Original Manual/Docs

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

via this auction

"Here's your chance to get one of the best poly analog synths ever made. The vintage Moog Memorymoog Plus (serial#3203) with LAMM upgrade (Lintronics Advanced Memorymoog modification). The LAMM upgrade was done around 2001/2002 plus about $1200 shipping cost each way thru ABX logistics. Original shipping label from Germany to USA is still attached. Done directly by Rudi Linhard. That's almost 20 years ago! This is probably one of the earliest unit with this mod. I believe the upgrade now will cost around $8000-$9000 with one year lead time.

I just have a well known bay area tech checked and went through the whole controls. It works & sounds awesome! All 6 voices tunes w/ the autotune at power up (short video uploaded on my instagram page "tristarmusicgear". I can provide his email & cell# if you have specific questions about this synth. No service was needed as it works great.

Cosmetically it is in very good cosmetic condition. Same owner for the last 20 years and it just stayed in a smoke free home environment. Few cosmetic flaws: an indent on the left sidecorner of the led display & scratches on the top chrome panel, scratch on the right side panel. Few marks here & there but looks very good for a 35+ year old synth.

Included are the Anvil Case, original warranty card, owner's manual, 2" thick service schematics, Lintronics manual, & power cord.

Case outside size/dimension: 43 x 21 x 10 inches (weighs 37 pounds). Synth with case weighs approx. 81 pounds"

Quarantine Sessions 2


Published on Mar 21, 2020 Ran Kirlian

"Second live jam recorded during Covid-19 quarantine in my home studio. This live performance follows a similar structure than the previous one, containing different improvised sound environments melted together with a strong presence of a minimal modular system. In this session the main synthesizers were the Soma Lyra-8 and the Nordrack 2x, both reinforced with The Amazing Noises Reverb on the iPad thru Lexicon Omega audio interface. Nordrack is played from Korg Nanokey, connected to the iPad as well and routed with Aum to the Omega interface to the synth MIDI in. Sadly not much can be seen in this video due to bad camera (or artist) position, but I hope you like the music instead.

With this live recordings I’m not only having fun while playing relaxed without my typical time limitations, but also expressing this unique experience of being confined at home, watching the news, seeing the empty streets from my windows and having a social life limited to my wife, my son and my cats beyond the electronic communications.

Introducing Elmyra - a DIY drone synthesizer by Neutral Labs


Published on Mar 21, 2020 nyppy

"This is just a quick demo of my Elmyra prototype. You can easily build this synth yourself. I will share the schematics, PCB and code in a few days. A video detailing all the features is also coming up. Just watch this space or drop me a message.

This is obviously inspired by the Soma Lyra-8, which I love, but it's not a clone at all.

Reverb provided by Eventide Space. Next video will have the dry sound as well. The Elmyra delay can get pretty reverb-y on its own.

Korg NTS-1, Triangular Arpeggiator Jam


Published on Mar 21, 2020 Waveformer

"Here's a simple jam featuring only the Korg NTS-1 synthesizer, using its surprisingly powerful arpeggiator.

My music on Bandcamp: http://waveformer42.bandcamp.com/

There's no way to share NTS-1 patches yet, and not easy to read parameters settings, so this is the patch as far as I can remember. Oscillator type Triangle, Sweep rate 0.1. Filter type LP4, Resonance 0%, Rate 9Hz, Depth 50%. Modulator type Flanger, Time 25%. Depth 40%. Reverb type: Submarine, Time max, Depth 60%, Dry: 65%. Tremolo rate 0.2Hz, Tremolo depth 20%. Arpeggiator type d-C, Tempo 69 BPM, Pattern length 19, pattern type varies throughout the jam.

During the jam, I play with filter cutoff, oscillator shape modulation, and switch the arpeggiator between octave, sus4, minor and minor diminished.

The audio is recorded on a Korg KP2S and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on iPhoneX. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 15.

Gear:
- Korg NTS-1
- Korg Mini Kaoss Pad 2S (for recording)

Connections:
- NTS-1 - KP2S (for recording)

Misc:
- NTS-1 effects: Delay: Ping-Pong, delay time max, depth 60%, dry 25%, Reverb: Submarine, time max, depth 60%, dry 65%
- Tempo: 69 BPM
- Key: Cm"

MIDIMINI V30 Oscillator Demo


Published on Mar 21, 2020 StudioElectronics

"This demo is an attempt to capture the raw power and fatness of the Studio Electronics Midimini V30- High quality monitors or headphones are recommended. We do recommend hearing it 'in person' if at all possible. However if you can not, and are curious to know what the raw oscillators sound like- This video is for you Starting with a single oscillator, various filter and resonance settings, and envelope settings. As the video progresses the sounds get a little more complex and wild."

Midimini V30: Monosynth Polysynth #2

Published on Mar 21, 2020 StudioElectronics

"A Bass Odyssey was planned (and promised) yet a more salient inspiration was followed. And it was/is good. Built on the same shell of our mid-80s ST. REGIS tune, “You Lover Lost,” this vid features a near punishingly poppin’ bass response to the initial backstage band effect, and then drifts purposefully into organy, multi-tracked lead slides; a dreamy Fm gathering of heavenly, ethereal eternals focus and fire a Quadnic-like pulse, after that haunting “Sound in my Head” patch made the way straight for its duality. Earthy Taurus-like pedal vibrations praise and present reprise tonalities, and wise culminating paraphonic conversations. Revelations ensue.

OK, THAT was fun. In short, the MIDIMINI V30 makes sounds you like—well beyond the typical; the patchpoints, gain-staging, ringmod, triangle wave #1 wrapped around the filter, crossmod, and Boomstar LFO see to that. 🎧 or better per favore.

"The first 500 people to use this link get 2 months free of Skillshare Premium: https://skl.sh/rickytinez4
I originally thought the Erica Synths DB-01 Bassline would fall in line with other similar tb-303 clones. But i was way wrong. It reminds me more of an Roland SH-101!! With 303 tendencies. It doesn't just stop there either with features. Some of my favorites are the Analog BBD Delay turned into a detune knob, As well as the Polivoks Analog Filter."

VINTAGE TUTORIAL - Yamaha DX1 - FM sound design


Published on Mar 21, 2020 True Cuckoo

Interesting video of the interface on the Yamaha DX1.

"I went to MESS in Melbourne on my last day on my travels. I found myself in front of the iconic Yamaha DX1, and I'm actually quite amazed about how straight forward it was to use. So here's a vintage tutorial on the Yamaha DX1. The concept is the same with many FM synthesizers today too. Think about what impact these synths from the early 80's had. Epic!

Waldorf Q JADE


Update2: this might actually be the Jade version. See details there.

Here's something you might not have seen before. Axel Hartmann, maker of the Hartmann neuron, and the man behind the physical design of a number of synths ranging from Waldorf to Moog, shared this photo online - posters for the Access Virus Indigo, the Waldorf Q in classic Nextel blue, and a Waldorf Q in "JADE" (looks white). Curious if any were ever produced. Also note the creamware.com poster underneath.

Update: I reached out to swissdoc who was a Beta tester for Waldorf back in the day. He reached out to one of his contacts and apparently 3 - 5 of these may exist.

"zu der Menge Pulse in Pulver kann ich Dir leider nichts genaues sagen... es waren aber einige (vielleicht 500-1000). Ein Exot ist es auf jedenfalls nicht. Der Q allerdings in Jade ist schon eher ein Exot. Der ist nur in kleiner Muster Menge gefertigt worden, vielleicht so 3-5 Stück."

Googlish:

"Unfortunately, I can't tell you anything specific about the amount of pulses in powder ... but there were a few (maybe 500-1000). It is definitely not an exotic. However, the Q in jade is more of an exotic. It is only was made in small samples, maybe 3-5 pieces."

16 Patches for the Korg Radias (and some free poop talk)


Published on Mar 21, 2020 Morning Strategy

Special guest comes in at 1:45.

"I picked up a Korg Radias on a trade as it had fueled so many personal synth fantasies from the last couple of decades. I have an MS2000r so I wasn't expecting much. I was surprised for sure to find a 2006 synth engine so capable in 2020.

It's capable of a lot of weird (patch 16 - le chaos) and a lot of really beautiful subtle sounds as well. These patches lean heavily on the Decimator effect, which is the first of its kind I've ever come to love (check out Klevgrand's Degrader, my new obsession). I don't use the mod sequencer much, preferring instead to fill up the six virtual patches and go big on the velocity sensitivity.

It took a bit of experimentation but then I figured out how to use one sequence lane for multiple sounds by using keyboard splits. This made it easier to build a full verse using one sequencer for drums and the other for bass/pad, leaving the arp for leads.

Cool stuff for sure, probably going to keep this one a while. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions!

via this auction

"This keyboard was purchased by my father in 1982 to set up a home studio to work with my sister, Shannon Worrell, who is a professional and well known indie singer and songwriter. [Wikipedia article]

This keyboard was used on several recordings of different albums she made as well as live performances. In the 1990's she later used it on the album, Three Wishes which famed musician and friend, Dave Mathews performed back up vocals for her. By the early 2000's the keyboard was in storage where I found it and had it sent to back to California at Sequential to be refurbished as some of the keys would no longer play notes. My sister gave it to me since she no longer wanted it.

The synth gets played a couple times a year for fun and that's about it. I collect many instruments and have run out of space for some of them so I have decided to let this one go. It has been well cared for and shows no abuse or abnormal wear. It is fully operational and ready to play.

The keyboard is all original except for three dial caps and some springs for some keys in side. It has never been modified or converted to MIDI. I am assuming that means it is Rev 2. I don't really know. It works perfectly and has a low serial number which I was told made it kind of rare since it also hadn't been modified. It's a super cool machine and an amazing piece of technology. It will make any collector stoked I am sure..."

All 12 modules have EPROMS installed (please see the last 3 photos). it was removed from a recording studio, and put in storage for awhile. The system powers up, and seems to work as it should. I can press the 'Program' button, and all of the lights blink, allowing access to any of the individual parameters. I don't have any pads, so I can't test it further. Because of this, I'm selling it as-is for parts or repair. No returns."

"Access Virus B in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original power supply, manual, and rack ears.

The Access Virus B is the second generation of this German made desktop synth-module. A favorite for its aggressive analog sounds, the Virus B is very intuitive and user-friendly, with 32 knobs and 27 buttons, all of which allow tweaking in realtime. The Virus uses physical-modeling to digitally recreate analog sounds, with an incredibly punchy and clean analog sound that can give you anything from low sub-woofer blowing basses to overdriven 303-style lead lines.

The new OS in the Virus B doubles the original Virus A's polyphony from 12- to 24-voices and the oscillators, from 2 to 3 per voice. The new OS also added an enhanced programmable 32-band vocoder. There are now up to 82 simultaneous effects, a retro-phaser (6-stage stereo phaser with 24 filter-poles), chorus/flanger, ring modulator, multiple forms of distortion, an analog boost algorithm, and an envelope follower. Up to five FM (Frequency Modulation) modes are also on-board and many new sounds are offered in this notably improved iteration of the Virus."

"1970's Roland SH-3A vintage analog synthesizer in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. Recently serviced by Synapse Audio, this SH-3A works flawlessly and has been recapped as needed, receiving a thorough cleaning in additional to being calibrated and burned in to ensure optimal performance. Roland's first non-preset based synth, the SH-3A features two LFOs and is unique for offering five different footings with mixable waveforms, as well as both subtractive and additive synthesis. The single oscillator SH-3A has an incredible range of pure analog sounds used by the likes of Blondie and Vangelis, and with the transistorized ladder-filter, the SH-3A can achieve very Moog-like sounds.

All features of this vintage synth work as they should and the keyboard is remarkably clean. All of the original knobs and sliders are intact, barring the Release slider, and the graphics are well preserved. This particular SH-3A was produced for the Japanese market, indicated by the Roland badge with green Japanese text underneath.

The synth comes complete with the original latching lid."

Waldorf Pulse Analogue Synth w/ Non Nextel Surface

via this auction

Thought this one was interesting. Most Pulse and Pulse + synthesizers had a matte Nextel surface. This one is shiny like the newer model Qs. I forget if there was a later run of the Pulse with this surface.

Update via swissdoc: "Frank Schneider from Waldorf confirmed those to be late models. Nextel was tricky to handle, so not all production partners could do it. Environmental safety was quite a challenge, so not all could adhere to those regulations. Powder is more robust and better to the environment."

Nord Lead Synth Pads & Field Recording - Epic Sci-Fi Ambient Music


Published on Mar 21, 2020 ChrisLody

"I'm not sure that 'Epic Sci-Fi Ambient' is a thing but this is definitely sci-fi and somewhere between epic and ambient, so I'm sticking with it.

So with this one I pretty much made what I actually set out to, which was a Blade Runner ish inspired soundscape 'nice' ambient thing. I'm using the Clavia Nord Lead 12 Voice for pads and lead/bass (I made the pad sound this morning, not sure if the lead/bass is one of mine or a preset tbh), Sony MiniDisc MZ-N710 with a field recording I made of passing cars in the rain back in the early 2000's, both with a boat load of Zoom 1201 reverb. I chose to most random bunch of chords ever but somehow it hangs together.

Absolutely the kind of soothing music I'm looking for at the moment!"

Logan Vocalist - Analogue Choir Synthesizer from 1979, Italy 🎹


Published on Mar 21, 2020 Reuben Jones

Elka Synthex, DSI/Sequential Tempest, and Octave Kitten featured as well.

"The Logan Vocalist, by Logan Electronics, 1979, Italy.

The Logan Vocalist is an analogue synthesizer designed to mimic the sound of a polyphonic choir and the solo human voice. Evocative vocal-like sounds are made using a mixture of hard-synced oscillators, analogue filtering, and ensemble and vibrato effects.

There isn't a lot of information on this rare and interesting synth, and the schematics are the only documents I can find. If anyone has more information, including the A3 folded manual that Peter Forrest mentions in his A-Z book, please let me know!

Join 'Sintetizzatori Vintage Italiani' and 'VSMIproject Vintage Synthesizers Made in Italy', both on Facebook to see more Italian synthesizers.

Also, visit https://www.museodelsynth.org/ to find out about the Italian synthesizer exhibition in Macerata, Italy.

Thanks to Keith Kniveton at Lucid Sound, and to Dani Wilson at Hideaway Studios.

All music by me, except for
02:29 - 03:17 : Non si Sevizia un Paperino by Riz Ortolani, used in the Italian giallo movie Don't Torture a Duckling, 1972;

and,

03:17 - 03:48 : L'Alba dei Morti Viventi by Goblin, used in the movie Dawn of the Dead, 1978.


Thanks for watching!

Epsilon - Minimal techno on the Teenage Engineering OP-Z


Published on Mar 21, 2020 Payton Carter

"Check out my music here - https://paytoncarter.bandcamp.com/

Not much to say on this one. Wanted to do some kind of minimal techno type thing (is this even techno? I don't know, I'm so bad with my electronic genres), and this is where I ended up. I think I'm gonna use the "Cluster" sound engine on every single one of my tracks because it's just so dreamy."
