Sound of: Mu-Tron Bi-Phase (Feat Novation Peak Synth & Yocto Drum Machine)

Sound Provider

"I ve done this video for people like me who love to see gear in action, so be careful, this video may be a little too long for some of you. :)

I did few quick loops here then I turn the knobs testing different settings with the glorious and vintage Musitronics Mutron Biphase Double Phaser pedal effect (Or Phasor, If you know the difference between Phaser and Phasor please tell me )

To help me with this mission, I used the Novation Peak synthesizer and the Yocto drum machine (A DIY Clone of the Roland Tr-808 from E-licktronic I build myself not without difficulty) .

The video Start with a 'Clavinet' Sound Done with the Peak, at 2.30 you have kind of Guitar arp, at 5.30 a bass Lead at 9.30 some Pad Chord, at 13minutes you can listen to the effect with a Bass then around 16 the video ends with the DrumMachine.

Voila

From Cracks to Ghosts (Demo) - Live DSI Pro 2 Performance

Daniel Davis

"This is a demo version of what will shape up to be my next album, called From Cracks to Ghosts - Music for Treated DSI Pro 2.

Novation Circuit Pan Automation

Waveformer

"This video demonstrates pan automation on the Novation Circuit using the Circuit Bender web application available at https://www.waveformer.net/circuitben....

My music on Bandcamp: http://waveformer42.bandcamp.com/

The Novation Circuit is connected by USB to my laptop running the Chrome web browser. The Circuit Bender web application listens to the incoming MIDI messages from the macro controls for Synth 1 and Synth 2 on the Novation Circuit and sends the MIDI messages for synth and drum panning back to the Circuit.

Since macro controls can be recorded and played back by the Circuit, it is possible to achieve pan automation on the Circuit using the Circuit Bender web application. This web application will only work in the Chrome and the Opera web browser, since they support Web MIDI.

This is a hack with some limitations, but it works for me, and I had a lot of fun creating it. Enjoy! And let me know about your experience with this in the comments :-).

Gear:
- Novation Circuit
- Laptop running the Chrome web browser
- Korg Mini Kaoss Pad 2S (for recording)

Connections:
- Circuit connected to the laptop using USB
- Circuit audio - KP2S (for recording)"

The One of a Kind EMS Synthi KB1

EMS Synthi KB1 by Digitana from portabellabz on Vimeo.

"Wish a nice background music from the Synthi KB1 will come ;)
Thanks for sharing, Steve !
synthi.co.uk/"

This image was spotted and sent my way via @deejayiwan. I've seen it before so I did a quick search on the site, but only found this previous post. A little digging on the web and I found the video above and a post on none other than x0xb0x creator, Adafruit's blog. According to that post:

"ask.audio blogs about the 2017 recovery of a rare, one-of-a-kind EMS Synthi KB1 synthesizer, a model that never made it into production. This one was made for the band YES in 1971. Digitana Electronics obtained the synth and was looking to document some music history.

'We are pleased to announce that Digitana Electronics has acquired an important piece of E.M.S. history…the E.M.S. Synthi KB1 keyboard. Only one prototype was ever made, for the band YES in 1971.

'The synth never went into production. It has remained essentially unused for 46 years though Steve Howe (YES guitarist) did use it on a track in the first of his ‘homebrew’ demo recordings, some of which featured on the bands albums. We plan to release more photos and audio demos of this keyboard in the future so that E.M.S. fans everywhere can finally hear and find out more about this beautiful and historic instrument.'”

Sequential Artist Spotlight Interview with MR.PHARMACIST (AKA GREGG FOREMAN)

You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.

"Mr.Pharmacist (aka Gregg Foreman), is a multi-instrumentalist musician residing in Los Angeles. He has been playing music for decades alongside of artists like: Cat Power, The Gossip, Beth Ditto, James Williamson (of the Stooges), Lydia Lunch, Alan Vega (Suicide), Martin Rev (Suicide), Jesse Malin, Lucinda Williams, Linda Perry, Toody (Dead Moon), Peter Buck (REM) David J (Bauhaus), Pink Mountaintops, The Delta 72, and is currently Band Leader and key synth player for Kat Von D.

Gregg has been using Sequential instruments since he was a kid — his relationship with Sequential started when he bought a second-hand TOM drum machine. Mr.Pharmacist refers to his style and genre as “Moth,” referring to being one part Mod and one part Goth. He draws his influences from the soundtrack music of Blade Runner and John Carpenter, and the post-punk sounds of Suicide, Fad Gadget, and Cabaret Votaire.

We chatted with Gregg on how he’s using the Rev2, Prophet X, and OB-6 in his recordings"

16 Voices and Bi Timbral - Summit Series // Novation

NovationTV

"In this Summit deep dive video, -CALC- takes a look at the multi aspect of our flagship polysynth, exploring it's bi-timbral nature.

With its multitimbral architecture and 16 voices of polyphony, Summit is like two Peaks in one instrument, enabling two completely independent patches to be split or layered across the keyboard, or switched between on the fly. And, that’s not the end of it: the addition of dual filters, greatly extended front panel controls, audio input and the same premium-quality five-octave keyboard introduced with our SL MkIII MIDI controller, put Summit in a creative league of its own.

malekko manther growl exploration

impurfekt

"please support the channel: https://impurfekt.bandcamp.com

the malekko manther growl is a synth voice for eurorack based on their manther desktop synth. it includes a cem3340 vco chip and an ssm2044-based analog filter. it has separate levels and outputs for the square, saw and triangle oscillators. it has two adsr envelopes with outputs and an lfo with multiple destinations and an output. it has a wavefolder with two modes: tri or all. the all mode folds all waveforms and the external input post-filter.

i've had my eye on the manther desktop for some time but knew i wouldn't utilize the built-in sequencing capabilities. upon discovering the manther growl i realized i could replace a number of modules in my existing rack (including my a-105 vcf which is based on the same ssm2044 chip) with room to spare.

after spending a few hours with the manther growl i'm very impressed. it's straightforward and sounds as good as the specifications suggest. the filter has a nasty, vintage character. the oscillators are beefy. the wavefolder is a unique addition that introduces unpredictable sonic variety. all the tools i like in a single oscillator synth are there.

my only critique is that driving the levels doesn't seem to alter the tone. the manther growl sounds as though it's always being driven. that said, it's still capable of subtle sounds. what it excels at though are thick, heavy, nasty, dirty tones. in short, it does what is says on the tin.

filter sweeps at 0:05
bass line at 4:30
saw arp at 6:45
wavefolder chaos at 10:31
triangle arp at 14:43

Buchla Music Easel vs. 208c Command

012358 13

"Just a little jam with Buchla Music Easel and the 208c Command. Both 208s are being controlled by the 218e. All of it is improvised live, mistakes and all. Aside from a minor volume adjustment, no post production was done to the audio. The use of the arpeggiator makes it look as if the video and sound are not in sync, they are.

The card being used is a 208 Toolbox from portabellabz, great little gadget.

The pedal is a Strymon Blue Sky."

Yamaha VL1m Version 2 with BC1 Breath Controller

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

via this auction

"This is an incredibly well maintained, mint condition unit. Includes 5 original user manuals, a Yamaha BC1 breath controller, and a step up/down converter. Unit is a 220v model.

The backlight and screen are well eliminated and unit shows of light usage. This has spent nearly all of its life in a rack mount. Floppy drive is presumed functioning, but it has not been used in many years and I have no floppies available.

Unit had an amazing set of user programmed presets that will help you get the most out of your breath controller, but also pairs well with an expressive keyboard controller as well.

Overall this is an excellent example if you are looking into getting into the world of VL synthesis and real world modeling. No one has come out with a synth as intuitive and realistic as this model. You will be pleased."

ROLAND JP-08 JUPITER-8 Boutique Sound Module

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

via this auction

"Mint condition barely used. Sometimes my best friend would come over and look at it, but no touching.
-
The legendary JUPITER-8 synth is back as a limited-edition module no bigger than a book. Part of the Roland Boutique series, the JP-08 is all about hands-on control and that iconic JUPITER sound. With an array of 36 knobs and sliders from the original JUPITER-8 front panel, the 4-voice JP-08 is highly programmable and encourages sonic experimentation, especially with the built-in speaker and battery operation. Using Roland’s acclaimed Analog Circuit Behaviour (ACB) technology the JP-08 faithfully reproduces the original JUPITER-8 sounds and adds a few new twists in the form of extra LFOs and expanded VCO range. You can even slide the JP-08 into the optional K-25m keyboard unit for a self-contained, go-anywhere synth experience."

Roland Juno 106 Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer SN 472721

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

via this auction

"The successor to the Roland Juno-60 ("one of the most important synthesizers in popular music"), the Roland Juno-106 is a six-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer released in Japan in 1984, during the "Golden Era" of Japanese audio equipment. This synthesizer features classic, sought-after sounds that not only defined a generation of synthesizer-based music in the 1980s, but also continue to leave their mark in the modern era. The Juno-106 has been used by Daft Punk, Vangelis, Tame Impala, Justice, and more. The Juno-106 is full of enticing features, such as arpeggiation, stereo chorus, LFO modulation, MIDI connectivity, twice the patch memory of the Juno-60, and more. If you're looking for that authentic vintage analog polyphonic synth sound, then you definitely need to check out the Juno-106!

This particular unit is in very good condition and shows only light signs of age, including some minor scratches and dust stain (please see photos). This Juno-106 has been tested by our professional technician and is working perfectly. All keys, buttons, and lights are working perfectly, and the display is fully intact and easy to read."

Roland Jupiter-6

"Here it is. The legendary Jupiter 6. Easily the most versatile and IMO aggressive of the Jupiter series of synthesizers. It has a very aggressive "bite" to its tone and the Multimode filter adds even more control over how well this synth cuts through the mix. Capable of lush moving pads and stabs and insanely large bass. Compound waveforms on each oscillator also set it apart from any of the other Jupiters that Roland produced. The cross mod is capable of some seriously clangerous and metallic tones as well as a whole whack of weirdness. Bleeps, Bloops, killer bass, delicious, lush pads and swells as well as an infinite amount of everything in between is available from this beauty. Much of the magic in this synth can be found in the increments between the notches on its potentiometers..."
