Mass Effect Trilogy - Extended Galaxy Map Theme (HD)

Published on Nov 10, 2012 Silrian777

"!! All music by Sam Hulick. Hulick is a great up and coming composer and I urge you to support him in both his VG/film scores and his solo work. This track is created by me out of three original tracks by Sam Hulick!!

I made an extended version of one of Mass Effect's most characteristic themes. Simply sowed the two different versions of the Galaxy Map theme together (ME's Uncharted Worlds and ME2' New Worlds) and added Sam Hulick's track from the Extended Cut OST to it (I Am Alive And I Am Not Alone) in which he purposefully referenced this theme.

All music by Sam Hulick as released in the Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 - Extended Cut OST's."

Buchla Music Easel V

Published on Apr 2, 2020 CatSynth TV

"A detailed look at the Buchla Easel V, a recreation by Arturia of the original Buchla Music Easel. We introduce its connection to so-called 'West Coast Synthesis', explore several factory presets, and walk through the synthesizer functions and sound design.

00:23 Don Buchla and West Coast Synthesis
01:22 Introduction to the Buchla Music Easel V
02:10 Factory Presets
05:23 Sound design with the basic Music Easel features (LPGs, oscillators, and CV sources)
17:11 Using the advanced features designed by Arturia (complex modulation, FX engine)

'The Buchla Easel V faithfully reproduces Buchla’s Music Easel that helped define West Coast synthesis’ focus on experimentation and breaking musical norms. We’ve applied our award-winning TAE™ modeling technology from the front panel to the resistors to capture it all with incredible realism.

Complex oscillator design, AM and FM synthesis, uniquely percussive gate/filter combos, and numerous ways to modulate and clock just about every parameter, all drop you right in the middle of a sonic sandbox. Design and perform soundscapes that burble, shimmer, pulse and evolve without ever touching a keyboard or pad—unless you want to add even more control.'"

Noodlebox Serendipity Seeks Funding on Indiegogo

Published on Apr 2, 2020 Jason Hotchkiss

"We have today launched an Indiegogo campaign to take pre-orders for our Noodlebox Serendipity Sequencer https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/no...

Noodlebox is a four part analog and MIDI sequencer stuffed with features for live jamming and improvisation. It has been a long time in the making - perhaps you saw the prototype at Superbooth 2019 or one of the other shows it visited early last year... well now we are finally at a point where we can start take pre-orders and move forward with production of the first batch.

The production units are finished to a higher standard than the prototype, with wood and extruded aluminium construction, but they share the same clear LED matrix display and fun workflow. Take a look at our Indiegogo campaign and see what you think.

Thank you for your interest in our products. We hope that you are all staying safe in these odd times."

via this auction

This appears to be the front panel of an original 1976 Buchla 266 Source of Uncertainty with the guts and parts of a clone by Mark Verbos. The seller is Mark and you can find one featured on his website here. From the listing:

"Around 2001 Don Buchla had a 'garage sale' to get rid of the left overs from back in the day. The Audities Foundation synth museum in Canada walked out with a box full of unassembled and partial modules. In 2006 they hired me to build those up. This 266 is from that lot. It is built exactly to the original spec, but with the schematic errors in the design corrected and nice quality Alpha pots (not the plastic CTS garbage that the vintage ones used).

I have heard a rumor that the original product run was 10 units, so this is likely the only chance of getting one. Please do not contact me to tell me about how this is not original enough for you, just don't buy it. The last one from this lot that sold, sold for this price. Local pick up in Berlin is very much preferred."

Update: I'm hearing the number was closer to 30 units.

Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 Vintage Analog Synthesizer SN 4553

"It has a couple of small 'issues' (I hesitate to even call them issues because they are intermittent and easily fixed). First, I've noticed some odd tuning issues when the synth is plugged into a power strip with other equipment that require a lot of power. I've only ever noticed it when playing out (it's been lightly gigged, less than 15 shows in the last 8 years). When this happens, I simply plug it into its own power strip and that solves the issue.

The second issue is with the cutoff filter knob. On a few occasions, it sometimes lags or gets stuck on a particular setting. This first happened to me about 5 years ago. I took the synth in to get serviced and repaired by Patchwork repairs located in Brooklyn, NY. The issue was fixed and I had no issues for several years. Within the last year, it started to happen again - but VERY intermittently (twice in the last year, and this synth gets played probably 14+ hours a week). I took it in to get repaired but the issue is so intermittent that the technician was not able to re-create the issue. These issues are so mild and intermittent, especially with a synth this age, but I want to be completely transparent to anyone interested in buying this synth. I've never had any issues with the membrane or voice chips, and both times I've had a technician service it, everything else was in excellent condition."

Novation // Synth Snackables: Legowelt - Peak: as a drum machine

Published on Apr 2, 2020 NovationTV

"Our Synth Snackables series invites you into the studios of talented and knowledgeable artists, and shows you staple tips, elaborate techniques and imaginative approaches for synth patch design.

For our first Synth Snackable session, we spent a day with Dutch artist Legowelt whose vast musical style spans many different worlds – some real, some imagined – and is designed in a unique and captivating way that keeps his listeners enthralled. His wealth of production knowledge and experience have been turned into five quick tips to help you push the boundaries of Peak.

In this video, starting by maxing out filtering resonance, negating depth and assigning his SL MkIII keyboard as the destination, Legowelt shows how you can quickly build a staple drum kit with Peak. With the lower octaves acting as his bass, Legowelt creates snares and high hats with the higher octaves using the noise level.

“So now we have this drum kit but there’re a lot of fun things we can do.” Using the arpeggiator to start the rhythm, Legowelt uses the Peak like a drum-machine. By adding distortion, reverb and changing the filter envelope he easily creates a “unique drum sound.” Bringing groove to the loop with delay, adding a “hypnotic techno” melody by detuning oscillators and showing off filter overdrive - Legowelt creates an advanced drum loop that morphs organically, demonstrating how this tip can become fundamental to any live setup.

Watch all five tips:

$11,500 "BIG BLUE" Roland JP-8000 Synthesizer w/ Blue LEDs

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. JP-8000 Master Restoration and Blue LED Mod (FULL TECHNICAL VIDEO) シンセサイザー復元

Published on Feb 28, 2020 dasurflife

via this auction

"Straight from 1997, this is the turn key Roland JP-8000 of your dreams. Surely it must be the coolest, resto-mod worldwide and ready for a choice studio. Sitting at it sparks immense inspiration and pleasure from its buttery action, even voicing, and electric blue lighting! It’s been a four-month restoration journey which began on Nov.1, 2019, getting it fine-tuned for its next life venture and I can assure you it is ready to be a landmark of your setup, impressing anyone lucky enough to tickle its ivories. This is a totally unique, one of a kind, JP-8000. I’ve never seen another JP-8000 with all blue led lights and display screen, let alone one masterfully restored to this extent.

Anyone who does a little research on used units knows that the JP-8000 has now reached its “end of life” phase. There are many of these units selling online, primarily from Japan, with low or uneven volume coming from the audio outputs at the rear (from defective capacitors), no audio output at all, broken or uneven keys, memory damaged battery failure, popping sounds when the faders or rotary potentiometers are moved, clacking key beds, yellowed keys, push-buttons that don’t work, etc. At a bare minimum every used JP-8000 really needs all of the polar electrolytic capacitors replaced, because they have a pre-designed life expectancy that has since expired. It isn’t just some used units that need new caps, they ALL need them.

This project was aimed at fully restoring the keyboard action and circuit internals with no expenses spared to provide new life to a dying legacy. All of the wearable items were refreshed. Another goal was making something totally unique and different from all other JP-8000 units. With the upgraded components used this keyboard should last 50 years without needing repairs if it’s covered when not in use, isn’t abused, dropped, or spilled on. This is the definitive JP-8000 resto-mod!

Notification for international buyers: This is a genuine 117VAC unit originally sold in North America. If you would like this unit converted to 100VAC or 230VAC before shipping it to you I can do so. It’s as simple as re-soldering 1 wire on the internal multi-primary coil transformer. No other modifications are necessary as the 100V, 117V, and 230V models all use the same exact power supply boards, filtering, and capacitor sizes. The only change you will need is a power cable with the correct plug type for your wall receptacle. I can supply the power cable for you or can refer you to where you can buy one post-sale. This means you can use the keyboard in your country without needing an external transformer! This synthesizer is truly plug-and-play for any buyer worldwide."

Someone reported this seller attempted to sell a fake Buchla module on Muffs (you can find a thread on it here). That said, I have no way to verify it, and I have no idea it this is just coming from someone that has an issue with this seller, or wants to buy it and is attempting to distract other buyers, or other.

E-RM polygogo

Published on Apr 2, 2020 Alex4

"The E-RM polygogo stereo oscillator is the first digital stereo oscillator to feature the brand-new Polygonal Synthesis technique. Based on complex two-dimensional amplitude shaping of sine waves, the polygogo is a performance-oriented, high-quality instrument which allows you to explore fascinating sounds and shapes alike.
Thanks to the combination of Polygonal Synthesis, two internal modulation sources and a fully-analog overflow stage, the module is capable of generating an extremely wide array of animated spectra, ranging from lush drones, massive basses and even sounds reminiscent of acoustic instruments.

In this video we explore the sound spectrum of the polygogo through different patches. The module is always recorded in stereo using two Verbos Amplitude & Tone Controller for filtering and VCA duties, and the Flame FX16-CV module for reverb."

Moog 16 Channel Vocoder Processing Videos

Published on Apr 2, 2020 Moog Music Inc

PLAYLIST:

1. Moog 16 Channel Vocoder | Counting Sample Processing

In this composition, the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder’s program input is being driven by a microphone, while the Moog IIIp modular synthesizer acts as the carrier signal. A Eurorack modular system provides melodic sequencing for the IIIp, as well as modulation sources for some of the vocoder’s synthesizer inputs while in external patch mode. Two Moog DFAMs handle rhythmic accompaniment to round out the arrangement.

2. Moog 16 Channel Vocoder | IIIp and Vocal Processing

In this composition, the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder’s program input is being driven by a microphone, while the Moog IIIp modular synthesizer acts as the carrier signal. A Eurorack modular system provides melodic sequencing for the IIIp, as well as modulation sources for some of the vocoder’s synthesizer inputs while in external patch mode. Two Moog DFAMs handle rhythmic accompaniment to round out the arrangement.

3. Moog 16 Channel Vocoder | MPC Breakbeat Processing

In this example, an Akai MPC1000 sends a breakbeat sample to the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder’s program input. A Moog Matriarch serves as the carrier input. The Matriarch is operating in four voice mode, and the keyboard is used to provide the chordal sequence used to transform the breakbeat.

4. Moog 16 Channel Vocoder | 808 Processing

In this composition, rather than the typical microphone, the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder’s program input is being driven by a Roland TR-808 drum machine. A Eurorack modular system provides the chordal content for the vocoder’s carrier input, as well as all the drums and percussion. The external patch functionality on the vocoder is being used to create two distinct timbres, while the rear Patch Select input jack receives gate signals from a Eurorack sequencer to toggle back and forth between the two timbres. The vocoder’s output is being processed by a Roland RE-150 Space Echo and OTO BAM for a bit of warm tape delay and reverb. Finally, a Moog Mother-32 provides a rich ostinato bassline to tie everything together.
