Aquifex - Microfreak Only Jam (all parts) + Zoom MS-70CDR FX


"As part of a new series of one synth/all parts demos, this one is all MicroFreak.

The last one [posted here] was almost all one synth - a Fizmo plus a single layer of sampled choir, but this one is all MicroFreak… even the drums/perc.

I added some basic Zoom FX to certain patches for needed ambiance.

All recorded, assembled, and performed in LoopyHD on an iPad Pro (DAWless) - mixed live to a stereo recorder."

OB-6 (24-TET/Parallel-12): "The Four and Twentieth Mystery"


Kris Lennox

"24-TET, here in a very different flavour. OB-6 sounds great. Video only shows a single layer (there are a number of recorded layers; video recording was of the chordal layer). Works like this take a very long time to create; writing in 24-TET in a multi-layered, chordal manner is complex - and inputting in standard MIDI/transposing in the mind to 24 is difficult.

However, I'd say it is worth the effort. Great sound; completely new harmonic world. Very, very unusual transitions - almost like drifting between two worlds/dimensions. Through the looking glass?

I'm very much looking forward to the day where a control surface (other than the black and whites) is developed that allows for real-time 24-TET performance. There are a few interesting contenders at present.

Also great to see microtonality/possibilities implemented on more synths of late (...watch this space...!).

More soon. Maybe not 24-TET for a few months or so (...writing in 24 can be borderline traumatic!) - but I'll certainly upload some material on some new toys in the coming weeks.

Here's a link to the track on SoundCloud (I set up a separate channel exclusively for my 24-TET material) -


All best/enjoy

KAWAI SX-240 - VINTAGE ANALOG POLYPHONIC 8 VOICE SYNTHESIZER

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


via this auction

"The Kawai SX-240 is an eight voice, fully programmable polyphonic analog synthesizer released in 1984 as a follow up to the Kawai SX-210. It was manufactured by Kawai but originally released under the Teisco brand-name in Japan when Kawai bought out Teisco. The Kawai SX-240 and the Kawai SX-210 never got much attention due to entering the market during the time of the digital revolution and poor marketing. Its main analog competitors of the time were the Korg Polysix and the Roland Juno 6/60."

Roland Jupiter-6

via this auction

"The Roland Jupiter-6 (JP-6) is a 61 key, 6 voice polyphonic bi-timbral analog synthesizer, featuring dual oscillators (saw/square/pulse/triangle/noise waveforms with PWM, sync, and FM), resonant 24dB low|high-pass or 12dB band pass filter, dedicated filter and amp ADSR envelopes, dual LFOs (sine and saw/square/triangle/random), portamento/glissando, arpeggiator, chorus, 80 presets (48 editable), basic MIDI, XLR and phone stereo outputs, and arpeggiator.

This Jupiter-6 is fully functional. Cosmetics are very good (a few small scuffs or scratches), although it looks like some paint overspray got on the left side at some point, since there are some tiny white spots. I got a lot of the spots off by scraping them with my finger nail."

"Rare and ultra-awesome Roland System 100 Model 102 from 1976! In fantastic shape with only minor marks from handling and simply existing, this synth has had an entire suite of servicing including a full recap, cleaning, and full calibration. Everything works exactly as it should and it sounds fantastic! This is the 117v for US so no step transformer needed."

ZXAV AV DJ App for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum


ZXAV from Paul Grenfell on Vimeo.


This one is in via Paul Grenfell, the creator of ZXAV, who had the following to say about it:

"ZXAV is a tiny audio/visual DJing/VJing app for the 1980's home computer, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Intended for live performance, ZXAV uses the Spectrum’s 3 channel AY sound chip for audio output and the bitmap display for visual output.

The app features four independent sequencers:
1) Visual effects
2) Melody/arpeggio synth
3) 303-style bass synth
4) Drums and sounds effects

You can run the sequencers together in tight sync, or set them up with different speeds and lengths to create complex polyrhythms. All sequences and instruments can be edited live in real-time - ZXAV is built for jamming and is always in play mode.

The entire app is written in exactly 4 kilobytes (4096 bytes) of code - that's the equivelent of around 23 milliseconds of CD quality audio.

ZXAV is free software.

You can download the software from here: http://atebit.org/prod.php?prodId=430
To use it you'll need a ZX Spectrum emulator such as: http://fuse-emulator.sourceforge.net/"

"PPG Wave 2.3 from 1985. Before me it had only one user and have been using with utmost care. Black top part has scratches as usual with this model, but other part of the synth is looking nice. Overall it is in a very nice condition considering the age. Personally had 0 problems with it in 4 years i have had it."

"The DB9 has a built-in CV/Gate converter with inputs and outputs. So it can either be used with some older pre-MIDI equipment you may have or it can be used to bring certain pre-MIDI equipment into the world of MIDI. This unit was in storage for many years and is in great condition, little to no rack hash, originally billed as a 303 clone but for me it's true power was in it's deep bass tones, all the pots are reassuringly still stiff but freely tweakable (as it was when bought) i never saw it's strengths as a 303 clone so never really tweaked the hell out of it, preferring to use other similar synths for that.. a true analogue monster."

Sonic LAB: Moog Matriarch Review


sonicstate

"Matriarch draws on the same classic module designs of the early full size RA Moog modules and bring that essence of original Mooginess, like the Grandmother and as such, hjust a single oscillator in Sawtooth can be very pleasing. The oscillators offer Tri/Saw, Square and 50% PW across 16 to 2” range and are very stable and track well. As I said, they sound lovely. The next stage is the classic CP3 mixer which has the same drive and burn that made those early Moogs sound the way they do, this is no different.

Filter is more modified as it creates a stereo signal when in Stereo mode with a two 4-pole classic Moog sound. Drive into the filter will greatly change the response of the resonance the way you’d expect.

This really is at the heart of the overall sound and is so familiar and authoritative that you can’t help but smile. It's so, well Moogey..."
