Paradise Children (1985 Czechoslovakia)

Are Sounds Electrik?

Some old school synth spotting sent my way via @deejayiwan: "@matrixsynth who knew they had JXs and DX7s behind the iron curtain... 1985..."

It reminds me of The Never Ending Story at times... See if you can ID the synth in that one:

Roland Releases Three New Patch Collections for Roland Cloud

Above: video for the SH-2: Space Aged Patch Collection

https://www.roland.com/us/products/rc..."

And the press release for the three new collections:

"Roland Releases Three New Patch Collections for Roland Cloud

Roland has announced the forthcoming releases of three new patch collections for Roland Cloud: SH-2: Space Aged, PROMARS: Curiosity, and SYSTEM-8: Frontiers, all crafted by top sound designers.

SH-2: Space Aged
The SH-2: Space Aged collection features 64 presets for Roland’s recreation of the iconic SH-2, the little monosynth that could. Pulling inspiration from space, the patches in this collection take advantage of the SH-2’s arpeggiator function and evoke the constellations with their complexity, richness, and usability. Explore the black hole-like low end of “Synth Shock Bass,” or fall into an arpeggiated asteroid belt with “Gamer Glytter.”

Also, from June 9 to 23, 2020, anyone with a Roland account can enjoy the SH-2 virtual synthesizer and the SH-2: Space Aged patch collection for free. Simply log in to Roland Cloud Manager, install the SH-2 from the library, and download the patch collection from the software section.

Release Date: June 9, 2020, 6 PM PDT

PROMARS: Curiosity
This collection for Roland’s recreation of the fabled PROMARS synth pays tribute to the analog powerhouse, delivering layered tones that give way to fizzy atmospherics, often within a single patch. Discover the bubbles of “1981” or the modulations of “Karhornia.” Then, take advantage of genre-tailored basses like “Italobass” for a Moroder moment or “Teutonik Bass” to capture the mood of a Berlin dance floor.

Also, from June 16 to 30, anyone with a Roland account can enjoy the PROMARS virtual synthesizer and the PROMARS: Curiosity patch collection for free. Simply log into Roland Cloud Manager, install the PROMARS from your library, and download the patch collection from the software section.

Release Date: June 16, 2020, 6 PM PDT

SYSTEM-8: Frontiers
SYSTEM-8: Frontiers is a premium patch collection for the hardware and software versions of Roland’s forward-looking SYSTEM-8 Synthesizer. SYSTEM-8: Frontiers leverages SYSTEM 8’s powerful engines to deliver mysterious arps, heartbreaking keys, and cavernous pads. Patches include the majestic “HOME”, Hydra-7”, “EBM Bass” and “The Darker Pad.”

Also, from June 25 to July 9, anyone with a Roland account can enjoy the SYSTEM-8 virtual synthesizer and the SYSTEM-8: Frontiers patch collection for free. Simply log into Roland Cloud Manager, install the SYSTEM-8 from your library, and download the patch collection from the software section.

Release Date: June 25, 2020, 6 PM PDT

The SH-2: Space Aged, PROMARS: Curiosity, and SYSTEM-8: Frontiers collections are offered with Roland Cloud Ultimate and Pro memberships."

Orgon Systems Modular Drones

The special sauce

Note there are several video in the playlist embedded above. You can use the player controls to skip around if you'd like. There some little characters on top of the system in some. :)

"A rare British modular made in Newcastle UK by Geoff Waterstone in the late 1990s early2000s.

There is not much information about these on line as it is rumoured that only 6 were ever delivered.

I thought during lockdown I would make a drone a day just to show anyone interested in what the Orgon sounds like
These are self-generating patches not really intended as music, demonstrating some of the tones available from the organ systems modular. an attempt to make patches that change over time using its 4 lfo’s as the only modulation/sequencing source with no external control.

It is a very simple system made up of
Three oscillators
Three filters
Three envelopes
Four lfo's
Two vca's
And a passive multiple
i will be posting one of these drones every day for the next few weeks.

Volca Drum Editor by Ableton Drummer

Isotonik Studios

"The Volca Drum Editor is a Max for Live device which lets you edit, control, save and recall every parameter from the Korg Volca Drum digital percussion synthesizer within Ableton Live. This could become handy for storing and recalling presets, automate sound changes while playing and accessing parameters in a more structured and better overview. You need to connect your Korg Volca Drum via the MIDI in 5-pin socket to your computer. This can be done using an external sound card with a MIDI out socket or a USB-to-MIDI converter.

Easy to Set Up in Ableton Live

There is a Set-Up template/Ableton Live set included in this Ableton Live Pack/download for this Max for Live device BUT as the “MIDI To” section need to be edited and applied to your hardware I advise you to go through this whole set up section of the manual to fully understand how this MIDI routing works here.

Boss Bow Two Overview - 8 Way Multimode Switch - ALM027

ALM TV

"The brand new Boss Bow Two is an eight way bidirectional multimode switch with three different selection modes: step, strobe, and address. These control methods and I/O flexibility allow for a wide range of potential patches with Boss Bow Two as it can interface with essentially any signals generated in a modular system. In this video we look at making complex LFOs, routing voices, modifying/creating trigger patterns, creating unique sequences, slicing up envelopes, switch ring modulation, and much more!

34:06 Feeding MCO Outs Back In to Sync (Step Mode)
35:13 Rerouting a Euclidean Pattern Around the System - Complex Beat (Strobe Mode)

Thanks for watching!"

"‘Boss Bow Two’ is an 8 way bidirectional voltage controlled switch with 3 different control modes: address, strobe, and step. Each control mode uniquely routes signals from an input ‘I/O’ to an output ‘I/O’. Address mode allows for instant routing manually via the offset or external control voltage, step mode sequentially advances I/O following signal at the clock input and the strobe mode combines the two, holding the addressed position until the next clock pulse.

The reset input allows for master on off switching in address and strobe modes and traditional sequencer style ‘reset’ in step mode. The control input features both an attenuverter and offset to precisely select which of the 8 I/O’s are available to be ‘switched’ in address and strobe modes and sets the direction of travel in step mode.

As it is bidirectional, audio or CV can be routed from 1 of up to 8 inputs to a single output or a single input to 1 of up to 8 outputs. The unique features and flexibility of the ‘BB2’ allow for a wide range of potential patches to be created.

"This is an early 12 bit unit, pre DCB, serial number xxx949...

Diagnostics and repair performed by Jareth Lackey of Synthpro Restorations, LLC.

Service included repair of an oscillator that wouldn’t track, a wave shape circuit repair, replacement of two op amps, five interface buttons, oscillator sync switch , one broken key, and the save battery which was recently replaced on a separate trip to Synthpro.

Recently gone through, every function works as they should, and the factory presets were restored due to the battery replacement

The bottom of E4 key is chipped, shown in pictures, and the pulse width modulation slider wiggles loose, also shown in pictures. The slider must be stabilized when using. Despite this, it has a smooth reaction, and is not a wiper or carbon track issue but a broken actuator. It works as it should otherwise.

ARA-Serpens Modular/Anima and Altar Filter -Ritual Electronics

Dziam Bass

"Hello all.
The last two modules I have opened are the new ARA- sequential switch from Serpens Modular and Anima from Ritual Electronics.
I recorded a small patch with these modules when ARA is as a sequencer and Anima has dual digital VCO and EG and LFO, but I only used one VCO and the other I used envelope.
from another module I added lfo for decay and curves changes so from time to time they change in motion. I added Altar filter also from Ritual which adds character to Anima.
I added Drums from Pico Drums triggered via Pico TRIGG from Erica Synths.
I recommend checking these Serpens and Ritual modules because they give you a lot of possibilities and have great performance.
for me it is a lot of fun but also a lot of possibilities which I discover every time I exceed my thoughts on this module and come out great new sounds and sequences which normally I would not put together without the input of these modules when they go further than I can consciously do.
Thanks for ur time and watching and have a GREAT MODULAR day."

MSK 007 Leapfrog Filter-North Coast Synthesis/ Primary Oscillator -Pittsburgh Modular/Quadigy-Klavis

Dziam Bass

"Hi All.
I took Leapfrog Filter MSK 007 from North Coast Synthesis again this morning for fun with FM, I also added MSK 008 VC Octave Switch and I used the Lifeforms Primary Oscillator from Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers and attached an interesting module from Klavis this Quad Programmable Envelope Generator for this morphing envelopes therefore they are once shorter and longer set the sequences in a small motion , Leapfrog with Primary VCO they give me a really nice sound but I also like adding FM in the filter, I added Timbres to exponential FM so I wanted to share this sound in this short video.
let me know what you think about this sound, it seems quite smooth but also with a great character that hits my head.
sorry for my tripod, my dog walked a lot today during the recording ;-)"
