FM Monster Duel! Yamaha TX816 vs TX802

Espen Kraft

Follow-up to this post.

"The Yamaha TX816 from 1984, a monster DX7, in fact you get EIGHT DX7 in one box with a total polyphony of 128 voices.

Drawback - It's easy to waste voices and you can't edit anything without a real DX7 to control it. Or compatible software.

The Yamaha TX802 from 1987, a highly flexible and powerful FM workhorse. EIGHT 2 voice polyphonc DX7IIs inside. So less total voices than the 816, but you can arrange voices as you want and fully editable from the module itself.

Which one should you get? I show you the differences and how to use them both.

17:00 Answer to what mix was what from the last video - MIX A=802 MIX B=816"

Korg Polysix: Second musings

MIDERA

First musings here

"I sat down with the Polysix again and just tried to come up with a few patches (well, just modifying the first patch I came up with). I don't really know how interesting this sort of thing is to people. I should be writing tracks, but I guess with new gear, it's sort of fun just figuring out what I think of it. The Polysix is so simple, 1 oscillator - really no manipulation of the sound through sync, ring mod, etc, but I find the breadth of things I can come up with are enough for me to enjoy it thoroughly.

I think part of what I like is just how quickly I can make changes. I get that this is what people like about the Juno's but I never warmed up to them on this level. I guess maybe after using the Roland SH-101 more, I'll be able to better decide if it's like a slider versus knob thing - but I've really enjoyed the SH-101 too... so I don't know if its that.

I think what I like (and maybe I could have done this on the Juno but just never did) is setting the Polysix in chord mode to get a mono mode - which sounds fantastic. As well as setting two notes in a chord and using that as my sound. It makes it pretty easy to get a 2-oscillator monosynth out of this and it sounds great. I don't really mind if my pads are single oscillator, but it's nice to get bass sounds or just lead parts with the chord mode. I think it comes out with this great sound. I know in the Polaris I can do a lot more, I can activate only one voice and have two oscillators, but that's a ton of work usually. You have to get into its settings to deactivate the other oscillators. If you decide to tune the oscillators (autotune) then it'll reactivate them. It doesn't save that information (actually, I don't think the Polysix saves chord mode data in the patch either, but it's still easy to set up).

I really like the FX section - I think they sound as good as the Roland Juno Chorus... but I guess I'm comparing it mostly to my JX-3P chorus, I don't know how similar they are.

Anyway, here you have it. Some sounds I made that may or may not be interesting to you..........."

Atari Hotz Stratocastin - Hotz Sessions Episode 2 -Atari ST MIDI Music with Roland 2080 Synthesizer!

Clint Thompson

"Greetings Everyone!

Has been a little while since the first Atari Hotz video I uploaded a while back and ended up creating this song one afternoon just last week using Roland's 2080 Stratocaster patch (JC Strat) after exploring around and experimenting with the Hotz Translator Software some more.

I've included the Translator software overlaid to show in real time how it re-maps the smaller Hotz Wing controller for this particular tune and you can see just how much easier it is to play as a result. Please forgive my occasional timing errors, I'm not a very good live player (or recorded for that matter) but it's still a lot of fun to play.

Would have never been able to play something like this without the Atari Hotz setup in conjunction with the software on the Atari ST! Please let me know what you think and if you know someone who may find this sort of thing interesting, please kindly share the link with them.

Hopefully I've captured a more 80's feel with this one =)

Thanks for taking the time check out this video and share my passion for this Atari Hotz setup!

-Clint

Accord Melisma - Non-C Note Custom Chords

freshnelly

"I must admit, I have been really enjoying the new Custom chords feature since V.1.4 and have come up with some interesting methods like this one...

This is an interest video made just after the release of V.1.4 using Custom Chord Editor to make chords that don't follow the "rules" of music so much.
I have added 3 versions of a 7 chord, which is originally a preset 4 note C E G Bb. and popped in duplicate notes (+ 1 octave) etc as:
E1 Bb1 C2 G2
G1 Bb1 C2 E2 Bb2
Bb1 E2 G2 Bb2 (no C at all!)

Inversions +1,+2 etc act differently too of course. Expansion hasn't be shown here but changes quite a bit because it relies heavily on the number of notes in a chord but also repetition of notes, will cover in future video..
Generally though, 7 chord over 2 octaves @ 7 notes makes for a very different expand :)"

New Syntaxis Micromodular Starter Set

Krzychu1995

"!!! Available immediatelly at http://syntaxis.com.pl !!!
Today I have something very special to show. In this video you can see and hear synth made from Syntaxis Micromodular set. Instrument is assembled from basic set of micromodules (uVCO, uVCF, uVCA, uLFO and uADSR), but it sounds quite versatile. User is able to assemble synthesizer on it's own, in modular way, but much cheaper and without necessity of use dedicated multipliers - breadboard does it already! Usually building subassemblies of synths on breadboard makes circuit unreliable in longer term. But with Micromodules it works like it was soldered together - you can assemble you own synth, get plywood, drill holes for potentiometers, screw them in place and carry your own synth around for gigs."

"This is a set of components for building a basic but complete analog synthesizer on a breadboard. Although it might not have professional look, you will be surprised with its professional sound.

The set includes:

μPSU·112·A
μVCO·3340·A
μVCF·3320·LP4·A
μVCA·3360·LIN·A

Originally conceived by Ken Freeman, others saw the impending gold rush and got their instruments out. When I say there was a 'string synth heyday', I'm not exaggerating. Here's a list of just some of them:

Patch Notes: Wallis

FACTmagazine

"This week’s episode of Patch Notes features a pummelling session from rising techno iconoclast Wallis. The producer, DJ and mastering engineer is fast becoming one of the most unique members of the Berlin scene, blending extremely hard and fast productions with sensual melodies and vocals.

This performance sees Wallis utilising her usual setup for live shows, which consists of modular synthesis, an Elektron Octatrak sampler, Arturia’s BeatStep Pro sequencer and guitar effects pedals. “I would say I am more on the West-coast end of the synthesis spectrum”, she explains. “I like very complex and somewhat surprising results because this is, in my opinion, how you get the most unique sounds, which is what modular synthesis is for me.”

“Modular is for me testing the limits of a system. It’s also about controlling those unpredictable outcomes, especially in my type of techno that really wants to be dance floor friendly at all times. It’s all about balance I guess. Making it as weird and interesting as possible but still pretty damn four to the floor, for the most part.”

Wallis is a resident at LSDXOXO’s Floorgasm. The first outdoor edition of the beloved party will take place this Saturday, August 29, at Berlin’s Trauma Bar Und Kino.

For more music from Wallis and friends, check out her label, Jell."

Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 Vintage Synth - upgraded FATAR keybed!

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

via this auction

"Awesome sounding vintage Sequential Circuits synth, similar ilk to a Juno 106 but features an Arpeggiator and two oscillators per voice.

Upgraded FATAR keybed - I replaced the old clackity keybed with a brand new fatar keybed (same style as used in the Moog Voyager, Nord etc) - so it has a beautiful playing action similar to a high end modern synth.

It is in fair cosmetic condition, with it's fair share of small scrapes and dings, and a bit of a chunk out of one of the side panels.

A few of the knobs are a bit scratchy - it could likely do with a bit of a service/clean, but I haven't found it completely necessary and just used it as is. Please be mindful of this before purchasing.

It sounds awesome, as you would expect from vintage Sequential Circuits gear!!"

Roland Juno-60 Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer w/ MIDI

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

"This is a beautiful Juno 60 with the Juno-66 Midi retrofit by Tubbutec that was installed professionally. The Midi retrofit makes this Juno 60 unstoppable, adding portamento, mono mode, unison, and many other features in addition to being controlled via midi and usable as a midi controller.

I originally bought this synth from Tone Tweakers, so it came in great condition, and I've continually gotten it serviced over the years to keep it high quality. Recently, the digital memory hasn't been working 100%, sometimes it lasts for hours without any issues, while other times only holding a patch for a few minutes. This is a common issue among Juno 60 owners, and if I were to keep this thing, I'd have my tech fix it."

Using Control Voltage with the Roland FANTOM Synthesizer

RolandChannel

"The Roland FANTOM Synthesizer is a new kind of creative hub, where you can combine the power of FANTOM's synthesis engine, your favorite DAW and software synthesizers, and other hardware instruments like modular synthesizers, or your own voice.

FANTOM brings these elements together into a seamless creative environment where you can turn the spark of an idea into a fully realized production.

In this video, @gattobus takes a look at how to integrate modular synthesizers into FANTOM's creative hub using its dual onboard CV/Gate connections, external inputs, and effects."

Whereas the Bach quoted part is played live in the bass part, the album version plays the middle and high register, excluding the bass, with harpsichord and string sounds. The part that responds to the guitar melody must be played at a very high speed, so you should be creative in the distribution of finger numbers and notes to the left and right hands."

Live techno on a wall of test equipment

HAINBACH

"In this video I detail the process of trying to make my wall of test equipment playable for a live streaming show.

The instrument I assembled out of parts not meant to be used for music but rather as science and engineering tools has grown huge over the past year. I feel confident to compose with it, but playing live is a whole new challenge. Super/Collider asked me to perform a live stream and I immediately thought of challenging myself to play this heavy wall of sound, proto-techno style.

I go over what instruments are in the wall, how the routing works, how I use tape and guitar pedal FX, as well talking about my camera setup for live streaming."
