The Making of a TRS-80 Voice Synthesizer - Talker/80


Published on Mar 14, 2020 Michael Wessel

via Michael Wessel, who brought us the Speak&SID:

"New dimensions in voice synthesis for the iconic Trinity computer from 1977!

Talker/80 is a new speech (voice) synthesizer for the TRS-80 Model 1. It offers DECtalk-based natural sounding speech, and can emulate the "official" TRS Voice Synthesizer as well as the VS-100 Alpha Products voice synthesizer. The original software runs without changes / patches. Both the VS-100 and the TRS Voice Synthesizer utilized the Votrax SC-01 speech chip. The SC-01 is "emulated" by means of DECtalk here (phoneme mapping).

Everything is open source, including the firmware sources and Gerbers:

Moog Mother-32 - Progressive Soundset (35 patches)


Published on May 31, 2020 tBbXaMZOUA4

"In this soundset I tried to get the most interesting timbres out of the synth.
It may seem that a single Oscillator, Filter, simple Envelope and LFO can't do too much. But experiments with the patchbay give a wide range of sounds. Some timbres are supposed to be played on a keyboard. For others it's better to use Arp or Seq. But, of course, you're free to experiment.
There are mild and soft timbres, as well as wild and noisy.

The bank consists of 35 patches:
- 15 Leads
- 8 Plucks
- 2 Percussions
- 5 Sequences
- 5 FXs

By Sequence I mean a patch, where an internal sequencer is used and its parameters are modulated.
And, of course, you may use any of the presets from the soundset with the internal sequencer.
Percussion is a patch where you can get some drum tones depending on the low/high notes
In some patches I use «Assign» output. I did it for ModWheel, but you may try other sources.
You need up to 7 patch cords to recreate the patches.

I used drums and pads to accompany the patches + a bit of reverb/delay, so you may hear the timbres in a kind of realistic situations.
Audio examples in the catalog are dry and without other instruments.

Fantasy Soundtracks Ep:1 - 'Phase IV'


Published on May 31, 2020 DreamsOfWires

"First of a series of simple patches and recordings inspired by some of my favourite vintage sci-fi and horror from the cinema and TV. I thought it'd be a fun idea to see what I can do with a simple setup, perhaps ony 2 analog synth voices, and modest digital effects. The synthesizer soundtracks of the 70's and early 80's were often very simple, spartan compositions, which is what made them special I think.

In this instance I'm using my AJH Synth Eurorack modular synth, with the Precision Voltages being used as a kind of faux keyboard to shift the pitches of the two voices melodically. FX are Dubstation 2 Delay and EOS2 Reverb.

The film 'Phase IV' is a particulary unique sci-fi film from 1974 that I would recommend seeing. It has some excellent macro filming, a strong atmosphere, and even some synth music in the soundtrack. I didn't use any footage of the 'ants' because they really need to be seen in the context of the film to be appreciated.

Strings in Chaos - O Coast, VCV Rack, Eurorack, Felt Instruments

You can get the WAV file for this performance on my Patreon page - https://www.patreon.com/posts/37649521

Here are some patch notes
-------------------------
- I have a sequence programmed on the BSP, which is sequencing the O Coast.
- The O Coast is going into VCV Rack through the Chronoblob 2 and Plateau.
- The BSP is also triggering the Basimilus, which is going through the LedRover for extra character when needed.
- There's another copy of the Basimilus going through a HP filter and to the Mimeophon.
- I've recorded a wooden percussion frog into the Arbhar foe some texture.
- I also recorded the new cello instrument from Felt Instruments into Magneto in Sample mode, and this is going through Flame from Vult for distortion.
- I have a recording of the Basimilus on Morphagene, which plays it also in reverse.
- I also recorded the piano from Felt Instruments into Nebulae, which is playing it slower and it goes also through the Disting for reverb.
- I'm using the Microcell in Granular mode, and I recorded myself with a mic into it.

Here's my latest release on Spotify, iTunes, and more - https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/omr...

AKAI AX-80 vintage Synthesizer QUICK DEMO, no effects


Published on May 31, 2020 Mindburner

"Some say the AKAI AX-80 is thin and uninspiring. Well maybe some of the presets are but the synth can be dark and moody and powerful with 3 LFO's

This one has the Tauntek OS which improves the use of the filter in that you don't have to re trigger the keys to hear any changes you make. It still steps a bit but I don't mind this at all


For some reason, these synths seem to get treated pretty badly and abused. Broken membranes, bricks dropped on them and cigarette burns galore. This one was save a few years ago. I have just finished calibrating it, which improved the synth greatly.

I like them so much I have 2

Must get an AX-60"

Chorb, a Max For Live Chord generator.


Published on May 31, 2020 suis-je fou

"Chorb is a Chord generator, simple scaler and pitch randomizer all in one.
Sometimes finding chords or pushing up chord variations can be tricky. Chorb is made for that.
He will be able to play four note in addition to the one curently playing, scale them, and play them randomly in a defined range !


Chorb will act if you set a note number value more than +0 and turn it On. He will play this note in addition of any note you are currently playing or a sequence currently running.
In Random menu, you can set if you want that valu playing randomly or not, and if so, between which values the random will act. (-) Values will not be negative, the currently playing note will stay the fundamental, it will be the lower value of the random range.

Only setting notes in additions each one of them can sounds cool, but also really weird and feel like you are doing anything. This is why Chorb have a simple Scaler. Simply disable the notes you don’t want, and your chords will not go on them. And the random will also play anything, but always tuned on the selected scale.

Of course every parameters is mapable.
And if you want to record your Chord progression to select and loop a specific part, you just have to put Chorb in a midi track, your instrument in another one, and set the midi in of this instrument track to be the one where Chorb is. Now, the records will have every notes Chorb will play !
