Patch Base Editor for the Yamaha DX21 Editor Now Available

via Patch Base

"The latest updates to Patch Base (iOS version 3.11 and Mac version 1.5) bring an editor/librarian for the Yamaha DX21. The DX21 is another of Yamaha's many 4-operator FM synthesizers from the 80's. It's very similar to the DX100, but includes a Pitch Envelope as well as a Chorus effect. It's also much larger than the DX100."

Berlin School jam: Moog Slim Phatty, Hydrasynth, Virus C, DSI Pro 2, Gadget 2

Published on May 19, 2020 Brittle stR music

"This is Slim Phatty’s first recording (on bass) since arriving from eBay.

I’d not used Gadget for a long time, then the other day found it had updated itself to v2 - and it can now control hardware via the new “gadget” Taipei! Now it’s not limited to Gadget’s own instruments - some of which I like a lot, others less so - the excellent sequencer is perfect for my sort of rig.

The percussion is from the Gadget drum machine 'London' put through a Lexicon MX200. Strings are from the Virus, arpeggios from the Hydrasynth, and space dust from the Pro 2."

FLAME MÄANDER 2.0 - FM Synth Sound Demo (no talking) #TTNM

Published on May 19, 2020 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"The Flame Mäander got a new FM oscillator in the 2.0 update. Here is how it sounds! No external effects or processing, just the Mäander alone :)

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

FM stands for frequency modulation, a synthesis technique in which an audio-rate oscillator’s pitch is modulated by another one at a different frequency. Of course those are just the very basics for an FM sound and things can get a lot more complex. FM synthesis is great for metallic sounds like bells and gongs and the MÄANDER’s detune & colour knobs let you tune in those timbres with ease."

MFOS 16-Step Rotary Analog Sequencer Controller

Published on May 18, 2020 djthomaswhite

"Here is my Music From Outer Space sequencer controller. This is the original CNC machined rotary label design I created way back when and is the same unit pictured on Ray’s legacy website (R.I.P. Ray, we miss ya brother). The core sequencer is Ray’s Classic 16-Step design and include some bonuses. The first bonus is the addition of 16 additional voltage pots and outputs raft sequence in time with the main internal clock. Changes to the main sequence length effect this expansion unit too. There are also two MFOS quantizer units with incredibly flexible and immediate scaling. Lastly there is a Catgirl Synth CGS Burst Generator to create bursts of triggers allowing you to slow you main sequence way down and use set trigger pulses to extend your performances very much like modern micro step sequencing a la the OP-Z or Elektron Gear but in a purely analog world here. The unit is stand alone and includes a Synthesis Technology 900 linear Power One power supply for precision voltage operation. All you need is a power and latch cables to get started. 1 volt per octave, cV/Gate and USA voltage requirements. Converters needed if in Europe, Japan or elsewhere. I will be selling this one if a kind unit and hope for it to go to a caring creator who can utilize it to its potential. Built like a tank, 100% custom and cared for she’s looking for a new love. Are you her future keeper?"

Runningonair - Wonders of the Modern Age

Published on May 18, 2020 Runningonair

"In the tradition of 'Koyaanisqatsi' and the spirit of 'The future ain’t what it was', 'Wonders of the Modern Age' is a tongue in cheek reflection on some of the new found optimism present in the 1990s after the end of the cold war and before the gradual realisation of humanity's impact on the environment.

All video is from 1994 or before and all sounds come from the Roland SC-7 sound canvas module released in 1992.

"The 4027 VCO is a 10HP Eurorack filter adaptation of the colorful VCO-2 tone source from the ARP 2600 synthesizer. You know…that all analog, all discrete components, SAWTOOTH core packed with the SINE, TRIANGLE, and PULSE w/ PWM! If you’re looking for warm, fat analog synthesizer tones – 4027 VCO is the one for you.

In bringing that special tone to life the 4027 VCO keeps the circuit as close to the original as possible: a matched transistor pair, an Interfet premium dual FET can (because that beautiful Sine is worth it), temperature compensation resistor for tuning stability, low ESR styrene oscillation capacitor, 5-NPN monolithic substrate transistor array, precision Tune and Tracking trimmers, and the 70s spec op amps which are still being offered today. The 4027 VCO has requisite LDO voltage conditioning to isolate the oscillator tuning from your systems power rails. While each module is fully tested and calibrated, it may need minor TUNE trimmer correction after warm-up to account for variances in different systems. This limited quantity module is lovingly hand-crafted in the USA.

"Simply the best analog synth ever made, unfortunately it is time to find a new home.


It has recently had some maintenance including:
Key bed has been replaced with a barely used exact model that I tracked down.
A dozen or so tact switches have been replaced as they were not working well.
End panels were a little scratched so I had them polished and anodised.
Sliders cleaned.

Ketron SD4 Tabletop Synthesizer Midi Sound Module w/ Original Box

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

via this auction

"Ketron manufacturer description:
The Ketron SD4 is a pocket sized sound module designed for all PC and MIDI applications. The module is equipped with a new, powerful sound engine including a Professional Grand Piano sample (across 88 notes), huge orchestral and beautiful voices such as Saxophones, Brass, Woodwinds, Guitars, accordions, organ digital drawbars and many others. The quality of sound is what we have come to expect of Ketron (Best Natural Sound) making it ideal for use in Studio and Professional applications.
Ketron SD4 was released in 2008. It is a music module that will provide an easy workflow, and will welcome the user into a new sound space. The front part of the device is divided into several sections: at the top there are panel presets, just below there’s the 3-digit led display and 2 groups of buttons for monitoring.

The first section is a digital panel for selecting patches, and the second section with buttons is intended for configuring presets and menus navigation.

In a multi-timbral mode, SD4 works with GM-banks (128 patches) which sound quite realistic. There are 4 bank instruments and 32 drums. The first 3 GM-banks offer different voices. A separate 4th bank is derived from GM. Several buttons on the control panel are used to program the presets.

Panel voices can contain up to 3 layers, where each layer represents one sound from the GM bank. In some samples the performance is composed in a similar manner. In addition, two effect processors can be used to make the sound complete: reverb, chorus, distortion, delay and Leslie effect."

Tama Techstar & Arturia Drumbrute jam - Using Techstar as a module with Drumbrutes individual outs

Published on May 19, 2020 Expanding Sound

"I've always enjoyed my Drumbrute. The impact has a great sounding snare in comparison, and a great price point, but I've never regretted picking the Drumbrute up because it's fun to play with. My biggest gripe was always with the snare and toms. Not having decay on the toms always bothered me. The Drumbrute holds its worth to me over the Impact with the individual outputs. So I decided to put them to work!

The Tama Techstar is originally meant to be used as a module for electronic drum pads. On this video I used the Drumbrute's individual outputs on its toms and zap sound and placed them inside the Techstars toms and synth trigger inputs. The Techstar has way more controls for its analog voices than the Drumbrute does. So I decided to play with some of the modulation and have some fun!

Hope you enjoy some of my audio experiments. Please subscribe if you're into it!"

Fletch (1985) - Unreleased Track - Fletch Arrives At The Stanwyk's Mansion (Cover)

Published on May 19, 2020 KOSmusic

On the Yamaha CS1x

"This is my cover of the track present in the movie 'Fletch' of 1985, in the scene when Fletch (Chevy Chase) arrives at Alan Stanwyk's mansion and discovers the cans of gasoline in the trunk of Stanwyk's car. As always, Harold Faltermeyer manages to create real works of art even with few synth sounds and some percussion!

The original track ends with an fade-out, but I preferred to create a 'Faltermeyer' style ending, thinking about how Harold himself could have finished it.

I want to thank Jeppe Jeppinen for having recommended this fantastic track!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MY DEAR FRIEND!!!

In the future, I will also try to recreate the Fletch Theme and I think it will be really fun!!

I hope you like it ;)
