Korg DVP-1 Vocoder 1985 | Be Darth Vader!


Espen Kraft

"A somewhat forgotten piece of gear, the Korg DVP-1 is far from perfect, but it can still make some beautiful vocoding sounds. And then some!"

Some details via Strymon:

"Time-Warped Reverberator.
Create vast soundscapes with just a few notes from your instrument. Apply mind-bending pitch and harmonic manipulation to your reverb tails, with synth-like filter sweeps. Enter a world of new sounds that blow away the boundaries of what is possible with reverb. With pioneers and adventurous sonic explorers in mind we created a reverb pedal that can go where none have gone before.

iVCS3 JEC Captivity Auto-Generative Preset


James Edward Cosby

"A single preset from the upcoming JEC iVCS3 Preset Bank release... "Captivity"...

This track was recorded live using only 1 instance of iVCS3 running an automated preset. Initial settings and parameter limits are stored in a preset and by using the awesome APESoft multi parameter LFO's, iVCS3 can be left unattended to produce unique textures ad infinitum..."

Herb Deutsch's Moog SOB (by Synthpro)


synthpro

"Hey Guys,

Here is a little different video for all of you going over Herb's Moog SOB (better known as the Opus 3) and the history of this particular instrument released by moog back in the 80s.

Herb was involved in the design of the Opus 3 and I am very honored to have the opportunity to work on his actual instrument.

(Note: when showing the Chorus schematics I did forget to address that the 2 LFOs are modulating at 20Hz and a 2Hz signal...this is also how you get slow/fast rate based off which LFO is selected. These LFOs are actually modulating the clocking oscillator running at roughly 300kHz to clock the SAD512s....this is that circuit behind where I talk about the sine wave conversion)

Thanks again Herb and to all of you who watch my videos.

Sincerely,
Jareth"

Herb Deutsch's Moog SOB Part 2 (by Synthpro)


"This is the second/final part of the series on Herb's SOB (Opus 3).

This this video, I go over more in depth of the chorus after repairs and a good overview of the features of this instrument to show its 100% working.

Thanks again Herb and to all of you who watch, I greatly appreciate the support.

Jareth"

Sound of: Arturia PolyBrute FX ON / FX BYPASS


Sound Provider

"After my Video about my presets for the Arturia PolyBrute Polyphonic Synthesizer ( [posted here] ) Some people have asked to listen to demos without the 3 digital effects (which are good) to be able to hear the Analog Sound of the synth only to get a better idea of its power.
Here it is!
In this video I load patches randomly, I start to play, I modulate the Morph parameter then I bypass the digital effects to make you listen to the pure analog sound of the preset.
We can realize that PolyBrute sound is super alive even without effect (at least I think so).

Voila

"I_Synth is an organelle patch (puredata) that generates audio drones and vector graphics if you have an oscilloscope or simmilar.

"S3rquencer is an Organelle patch made in Puredata that also has sampling, synthesis, mixing and effects. It's like a little Daw.. It has ableton link and it sends it's midi out (in the Fourteen! respective channels) so it can be used to control any midi hardware or software. check the videos and the manual for reference: http://servando.teks.no/?patches/ .

I will be doing some upgrades depending on the users feedback and I will be releasing also extensions that add more functionalities to S3rquencer. (Looper. Insert FX,Virtual analog synths,etc. ) Other way to support this work could be via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/servandob Where I will be offering free upgrades and extensions of the software to the patreons and also public and private video tutorials where I will be showing how to quickly adapt the software to each one's personal needs

Mini Systems 002: SSF ZPO, Rossum Linnaeus, and the Digitakt!


Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video resident expert Jesse Humes takes us on a shuffle trip with his Intellijel Palette case full of excellent modules and the Elektron Digitakt. Featuring the SSF Zero Point Oscillator, Rossum Linnaeus, and the Intellijel Multi-FX 1U.

Rossum LINNAEUS is a stereo state variable filter that provides the unique ability to linearly modulate its resonant frequency through zero into negative frequency, while maintaining stability. With extensive voltage control of nearly every parameter, Linnaeus lets you manipulate the filter’s natural response curve in new ways, to create both subtle and dramatic timbral effects. And with a “one-knob-per-parameter” interface, LINNAEUS inspires sonic creativity that invites (and rewards) real-time interaction.

Order a Rossum LINAEUS here: http://bit.ly/Rossum_Linnaeus

The Zero Point Oscillator is not your typical analog VCO or even your standard Thru-Zero FM VCO for that matter. The core of the ZPO was developed through countless hours of experimentation involving Through-Zero modulation techniques. Through-Zero FM is a form of frequency modulation that produces much deeper and useful FM tones than a typical VCO can accomplish. New techniques have been discovered that not only improve the performance of TZFM, but also grant additional benefits as will be explained.

Order a SSF Zero Point Oscillator here: http://bit.ly/SSF_ZPO

The Intellijel Multi-FX 1U provides three carefully crafted and highly musical sounding delay based FX in a compact 1U package. Powerful on its own but even more fun as part of a bigger effects chain.

Three FX modes:
DELAY – tap/clock syncable, controls for rate/division, tone (feedback low pass filtering), and feedback amount.
CHORUS – controls for modulation rate, tone (brightness) and modulation depth.
PLATE REVERB – controls for pre-delay, tone (brightness), and decay time.
Stereo Wet/Dry balance for all three FX modes.

The Elektron Digitakt is a beat making powerhouse.

Compact, rugged and to the point. Digitakt is a formidable drum machine and sampler. With an astounding feature set and an exquisite digital sound engine, the stage is set for a striking encounter. Digitakt is a compact sampling drum machine from Elektron. It contains all the necessary tools to make people move to the beat. A digital and highly flexible sound engine, sampling capability, a live-friendly sequencer, dedicated tracks for controlling external MIDI gear, and Overbridge support. Digitakt is made for heavy use. It features hi res encoders and extremely durable back-lit buttons (rated for 50 million presses). The ultra crisp OLED screen perfectly renders the clear and streamlined user interface. The Digitakt comes pre-loaded with heaps of great electronic and acoustic sounds. Drums, percussion, synths, and FX are all part of the sound palette. The sample collection allows you to start creating, experimenting and producing right away.

Short Performance on Buchla Easel Command w/ Sensel Morph 01


Sensel

"The Buchla Easel Command has an optional USB Host that makes it easy to plug in a Sensel Morph. This performance uses the Ableton Live Looper to build the composition. There are several interesting mappings the Easel with Thunder allows:

* Timbre Control with up/down slides
* Modulation Control with bottom hex pad
* Sequence Control with top right buttons
* Envelope Control with velocity
* Pitch Bend with left/right slides

Introduction to Buchla Easel Command and Sensel Morph: A Complete Tutorial.


"The Buchla Easel Command (208C) has an option of a USB Host. You can even buy a bundle with the Sensel Morph and legendary Thunder overlay. But how do you use it?
This video covers basic patching techniques on the Easel Command, focusing on using the gestures from the Morph to control the sound. Without getting too far in the weeds, you can learn how to get some really complex sounds and controls with just a few patch cords. Buchla made an amazing instrument - now it's your turn to make amazing music!"

Yamaha CS Series (1978)



"Waaaa... waa aa a aaa a!" Here’s something to warm your heart: Sit back and enjoy this wonderful clip from an NHK educational show featuring two legendary Yamaha synthesizers: The compact CS-10, and the almighty CS-80 in the second half of the video. So what’s going on in the beginning? Using a microphone, the hosts voice is routed through the filter of the synth and is being modulated in frequency, resulting in the robotic voice. 🤖 🎹

The Great Filter

"In this video, we check out whether the Sequential Prophet 6, a synth known for its lush polysynth sounds, can stack against the mighty Behringer Model D, a clone of the Moog Minimoog Model D - the king of monosynths.

Let me know what you think: does the Prophet sound like a good bass/lead synth? How did it stack against the powerful Model D?

In my opinion... I think it did pretty darn well!"



New Behringer Pro-800 in the Works
