1979 Digital Stereo Delay Experiment



"First experiment with 1979 Digital Stereo Delay. Interesting polyrhythms and phasing.

my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/synthtodd"

This appears to be the first post to feature the 1979 Digital Stereo Delay. Info on the new module and additional demos follow.


via 1979

"Digital delay with clock sync and FX send

The DSD is a digital delay unit based on the Chronoblob V2 by Alright Devices. Sync the delay time to an external clock, modulate the left and right channels independently, freeze the audio buffer for looping applications, and route the delayed signal through other modules using the send/return functionality. The DSD provides up to 2.73 seconds of high-quality delay for your Buchla system.

Clean high-fidelity digital delay (48 kHz, 16 bit)

Delay time from 5ms to 2.73 seconds

Can be synced to external clock, with built-in clock divider/multiplier

Configurable mono (with external FX send) and stereo modes

Each side (left/right) has the option of linked or independent delay times

Freeze feature loops the current audio buffer indefinitely"

Hardware vs. Software Sequencer Timing Shootout


a.p. matthews wrote in to let us know he ran a hardware vs. software timing shootout featuring the Roland MC-50mk2, Yamaha QY100, Akai MPC2500, E-mu E6400 Ultra, Arturia BeatStep Pro, DOS / Voyetra, Surface Pro / Reaper, Ubuntu Linux / Reaper, MacOS / Reaper, iPhone / Cubasis.

"I analyzed the timing tightness of 5 hardware and 5 software sequencers for a good ol' hardware vs. software shootout. There's also an audio sample of a Roland MC50 vs Reaper/MacOS for you to hear the difference (or not). I was surprised by the tightness of the iPhone with Cubasis!"

You can find the results on his website here. You might be surprised by them.

Combo I Like: 4Ms PEG Feat Roland System-500 505 Filter Eurorack module (For "DubStep" Wobble Bass)


Sound Provider

"Yes,another "Combo I like" with the Pingable Envelope Generator from 4ms, Didn t I tell you that it s one of my favorite modular Synth LFO?

For the wobble Bass and to do Dubstep Bass line with My Modular Synthesizer 99% of the time I use the PEG because with the different Speed and Shape it s really easy to do this very useful sync Lfo.

For filter I don 't always use the same , but one filter I particularly like is the Roland Sys 505, it s a reproduction of the Analog SH-5 Synthesizer Filter with lot of character, and because it s a double filter I can use 1 different Lfo of each Filter cutoff.

What you don 't see on the video:

The oscillator are a Square and a Sawtooth from my Roland 510 Eurorack module.

Not use I m using it here but in this kind of patch I used to plug my Tiptop Audio Circadian Rhythms in the Peg Reset to Re-Synchronize the Start of the 2 Peg Lfo when I need it.

Also I don 't use any vca here.

Introducing Roland SH-101 Model Expansion for ZENOLOGY Software Synthesizer


RolandChannel

"Since its release in 1982, the small but mighty SH-101 has been a key ingredient in shaping electronic music. Originally marketed to beginners, it soon found favor with serious players thanks to its straightforward interface and head-turning sounds. With the SH-101 Model Expansion, the monophonic SH-101 is reborn as a polysynth, bringing new and exciting possibilities.

• Model Expansion for ZENOLOGY and compatible ZEN-Core hardware
• Authentic SH-101 sound and behavior, enhanced with polyphonic capabilities
• Clear, intuitive interface for free-flowing production
• Swap Model Expansions and load sounds instantly
• Set the condition of your virtual SH-101 to ultra-vintage or pristine"

KORG MINIKORG 700S Analog Synthesizer 1974 | HD DEMO |


AnalogAudio1

"I played the Minikorg 700S along with a Lexicon MPX 500 (reverb) and a Korg SDD-3000 (delay effects).

The monophonic Mini-Korg 700S was an expanded version of Korg's first synthesizer, the Mini-Korg 700. It has that awesome "traveler" filter (12 dB highpass and lowpass), 2 VCOs (wavevorm of the VCO 2 is always sawtooth), 1 envelope generator and 1 LFO (sine wave only). It also has noise generator, ring modulator modes and the LFO can also be switched to the filters. It has REPEAT mode, which repeats a note to get a sequencer-like feeling.

The Korg 700s is a serious analog synthesizer with a lot of character. It has a fantastic sound, which can be only compared with the first generation Korgs (Korg 770, 800 DV). The parameters use unconventional terminology (singing level, expand, bright, and so on). The 700s has a very nice tone and it's easy to use. A pleasure to play and to hear.

The MiniKORG 700s was used by Vangelis, Kitaro, Human League, Daniel Miller and others."

"This is a super underrated and beautiful keyboard w / sequencer and included virtual modular synthesizer which is basically like having a full eurorack setup without any messy patch wires! Seriously it's amazing to be able to open a Moog preset and throw a cs-80 filter on it if you want... I've taken the time to update it to the latest firmware available with the yamaha cs80 / moog options and also included patches from Depeche Mode, John Carpenter and more.

Sequential DSI Pro 3 Demo


Pure Ambient Drone

"Sequential Pro 3 Demo. A demo of the Sequential, or Dave Smith Instruments DSI Pro 3. The Pro 3 boasts three oscillators, three vintage filters, three LFOs, four loopable envelopes, a massive 32-slot mod matrix, and a 16 x 16 x 4 sequencer. Throw in dual digital effects and four control voltage ins and outs, and you’ve got a hugely powerful instrument that’s as exciting to program as it is to play.

The Pro 3 is a hybrid of solid, old-school analog synthesis paired with versatile digital technology. Its two voltage controlled oscillators provide warmth and presence while its third wavetable oscillator provides digital edge and grit. With 32 tables of 16 waves each and wave morphing, tonal possibilities are immense. Tuned feedback with grunge, and analog distortion deliver industrial-grade nastiness on demand."

Gotharman's SpazeDrum + Mooer Ocean Machine // Ambient Music #TTNM


THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Can the crazy SpazeDrum do lush space music? Find out in this video!

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support

For this jam session I created a bunch of soft ambient synth and percussion sounds with the analog oscillators in the SpazeDrum. I also applied the digital filters and a bunch of slow LFOs and random modulation. The Ocean Machine adds two delay and reverb effects to the stereo audio.

The SpazeDrum is an analog-digital hybrid drum synthesizer form Denmark. It features a powerful sequencer and lots of modulation options. You can create your sounds from scratch and while it's made with drums in mind, you can still use it like a synth with all the typical building blocks, plus some Gotharman specialities :)

Check out the website and manual here: http://www.gotharman.dk/spazedrum.htm"

REON Driftbox R Limited Analog Synth with Drifting Cross-Mod SN AJ-459A w/ Original Box

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

via this auction

"A driftbox that derives its name from 'drift,' the slang of synthesizer Geek, which means "run out of control." The driftbox R replaces the DRIFT joystick of the driftbox S, and is equipped with an EG (envelope generator), enabling synthesis with higher playability.

The powerful cross modulation unique to the driftbox series is equipped with an envelope, which allows you to create a variety of sounds by, for example, modulating the pitch with the envelope.

With 14 knobs arranged on a compact panel, 2VCO, VCF cross modulation, and ASR/AD envelope, you can create a wider range of sounds from intense modulation to percussive sounds.
It is in a beautiful state with little usability. Please consider!

Wavetable fun with 4VOX-Flame/Preset-Polyend/Nerdseq/Quadigy-Klavis


Dziam Bass

"Waves, Wavetable, Wavetables and amazing module 4 VOX -Quad Polyphonic Wavetable VCO from Flame instruments
So ..why I love wavetbales you have in this movie, it allows me to have a larger spectrum of sounds than the analog oscillators themselves.

Here the Preset from Polyend module changes wavetables for one VCO from 4vox. in one VCO I used 2 voices, second vco to bass sound.🙃😀

Preset module also changes slightly the envelope from Quadigi from Klavis to this added drums as you hear.
Everything sequenced by Nerdseq from Xor electronics .

Flame has many options because you have built-in LFO in this module, and rewriting modulation for CV 1 and CV 2 but in the menu you can set for example CV 1 for changing octaves, which gives you plenty of possibilities.

You have also sclaes, chords ,semitones and detune or portamento.👌👌🔥🔥

Each VCO in 4 VOX has its own 4 voices and in each voice you have another 64 wavetables which can also be used for power sound or turn-in CV for the built-in MORPH function.

This is a damn extensive module and I described only one of the VCO uses, here you have as many as 4 in total 16 polyphonic voices.👈 😁

Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day !!"
