FM Synth Programming with Digitone Livestream Tutorial & Q+A

Published on Apr 14, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"We will be going over FM synthesis programming concepts that apply to all FM synths and applying them specifically to the Elektron Digitone. Watch if you are curious about how FM works and how to program FM synthesizer sounds, or if you have a Digitone and want to learn more about how its synthesis works. The Digitone also has some unique features that most FM synthesizers don't have for shaping sounds. Frequency modulation synthesis or FM often feels complicated but if looked at from the right perspective it can be more easily understood."

iOS Synth app - TAL-U-NO-LX - amazing analog synthesizer Juno emulator sounds and modulation

Published on Apr 14, 2020 Expanding Sound

"There's a lot of great iOS synth apps out there, from the Model 15 to Nave and countless others. This one has easily made my top 10. It sounds fantastic. The filter does a fantastic job of emulating the Juno filters character, the chorus settings open up the synth brilliantly, and the sub oscillator gives you that low end you've come to expect from an analog synth. I'm kinda blown away by this one. I think it sounds just as good as a JU-06. Maybe even better. I might have to test that. Anyway, enough convincing, check this one out."

Jean-Michel Jarre shares his first impression on the SYNTRX

Published on Apr 1, 2020 FanJarre

Erica Synths' SYNTRX is set to ship in May.

Novation: Patricia Wolf: Electric Energy, Creative Potential

"Patricia Wolf takes a two-stage approach to sound design. 'In one way, I focus on the technical aspects of it, especially when there’s new features on a synthesizer that I’m not so familiar with. So I’ll play around with that and really think about what it’s doing.' Then, once she’s familiar with her machines and their respective capabilities, she’ll free herself from thinking on a purely technical point of view and consider her machines as an ecosystem, playing in harmony. 'It’s nice to let go of that technicality and just think of it as a living, electric energy that you can morph and change and start feeling for its creative potential.'"

Interesting regarding weight below.

"doesn't get much rarer than this-

or much cooler to look at


Comes with internal drive, plus discs, as shown

Great condition and working.

This thing weighs a ton - it might have to go on a pallet (so delivery cost is high). It would fall out the bottom of even the strongest cardboard box. So collection recommended."

circuitbenders.co.uk drumBs x3 demo

Published on Apr 14, 2020 circuitbenders.co.uk

"Demo for the soon to be available circuitbenders.co.uk drumBs module.

Based on a tweaked E&MM syntom II percussion synth circuit, the drumBs PCB can be built as a standalone percussion box or as a Eurorack module.

Its driven by standard analogue trigger pulses and has controls for:
Decay
Bend (Oscillator frequency & noise filter cutoff)
Pitch (Oscillator)
Cutoff (noise filter)
Resonance (noise filter)
Mix (between oscillator and noise)
Pulse (the attack pulse on the front of the sound)
Roll (the speed of the drum roll function triggered by a gate signal on a eurorack build, or a switch on a standalone build)

On this video the red module is doing the hats, the black one provides the bass drum and 80's electronic drumkit tones, and the green one is producing the clap/snare noise sounds."
