Nyle Steiner Plays NuRAD for the First Time


Mark Steiner

"Sept 2020, Nyle Steiner, inventor of the EVI, EWI and Rad EWI plays a new model of the "Rad" type EWI, which was created by Johan Berglund of Berglund Instruments. Nyle and his nephew Mark consulted with this project and model. Johan's design is just beautiful and I can say, it plays so very nicely! I truly love it!

In this video we also hear from Michael Brecker about the Rad EWI.

So there was only one Rad EWI made, but now anyone can have one, as Johan hand makes these with love and expertise in Sweden.

Have a look at the Facebook group "Berglund Instruments" for more info.

For purchase info and to join the no-pay wait list for a NuEVI or NuRAD, please email TheNuEVI@gmail.com"

The Beast Synthesizer from Yorick Tech


Steve Hunt

"I own Yorick Tech Ltd, maker of the Low Frequency Expander (LFE) for OB-6 and Prophet 6. [see here] This is a prototype / test bed for a mono synth project which will be a cut-down version of this, using the best bits. Possible poly version too....

Mostly my own design, including clones or designs inspired by various vintage synths, including 3 Oakley filters.

2 x CEM 3340 VCOs, one with supersaw and one with double-wavefolder. Each has its own PWM LFO and pitch ADSR and sub oscillator.

LFO3 is from the LFE and contains a hidden LFO, sampling the main LFO but with clever synchronisation so that patterns repeat in a musical way.

Ring modulator.

6 ADSRs (2 miniMoog clones, 2 digital and 2 CEM) and 7 LFOs, many VCAs including 2 mixers and stereo panning for each mixer.

4 filters:
Oberheim SEM doubled to give 12 or 24dB slope.
Roland SH-1 based filter, again with 12 or 24dB.
904a Moog Modular clone
miniKorg Traveller-based design

Filters can be set in series, parallel and are fed from the 2 mixers as 2 pairs.

Spring reverb.

4x5 mod matrix.

Quick Tip: Fitting A Deep Eurorack Module Into A Shallow Case


Perfect Circuit

"This Quick Tip shows how to fit a eurorack module into a case that is just a little bit too shallow. All you need to do is find out what kind of screws your case uses, M3 is the most common, but some use M2.5 or 4-40. Then you just need to get some standoffs in the correct screw size. Figure out where you want to put the module and put standoffs in the rails where they will line up with the screw holes on the module. Then you just need to tighten down the standoffs into the rails and then screw the module into the standoffs."

Roland Introduces WM-1 And WM-1D Wireless Midi Products


The PR via Roland:

"Easy-to-Use Products Provide Low-Latency Wireless MIDI Communication Between Electronic Musical Instruments, MIDI Hardware, Computers, and iOS Devices

Los Angeles, CA, September 25, 2020 — Roland announces the WM-1 Wireless MIDI Adaptor and WM-1D Wireless MIDI Dongle, two innovative new products that bring the convenience of wireless MIDI to modern music creators. Easy to set up and use, the WM-1 and WM-1D provide wireless MIDI communication between multiple devices, including keyboards, drum machines, and other MIDI hardware, Mac and Windows computers, and iOS mobile devices. In addition to MIDI note data, users can send MIDI sync for tempo, effects, LFOs, loops, and more—all without connecting a single cable.

For today’s musicians and producers, there are many situations where wireless MIDI is a real problem solver. It can provide a clean, mobile setup with just a MIDI keyboard and a laptop, iPhone, or iPad, or eliminate a long cable run from a favorite MIDI controller to a DAW. And in live performance situations, wireless MIDI provides smoother workflow and reduced setup time. Once users have had the unencumbered experience of Roland wireless MIDI, they'll never want to go back.

The WM-1 connects to MIDI hardware devices with standard 5-pin MIDI I/O, while the WM-1D connects to computers and iOS devices via USB. Standard mode provides low-latency MIDI communication between up to four total devices. Fast mode reduces latency to 3 ms—better than the internal speed of many hardware devices—providing ultra-fast communication between two WM units for timing-critical applications.

WM units can communicate with each other, and with MIDI music apps on an iOS device and Mac computer in Standard mode via Bluetooth MIDI. The WM-1D is ideal for Windows computers, which don’t have Bluetooth MIDI support built in. Users of Mac computers and iOS devices can also use the WM-1D to gain the benefits of Fast mode. (USB connection with iOS devices requires the appropriate Apple adaptor.)

Availability & Pricing
The WM-1 will be available for $69.99 and the WM-1D will be available for $79.99 in October 2020."

2020 Korg ARP 2600FS Reissue "Scratch 'n Dent"

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

via this auction

"If you haven't heard, these Korg ARP 2600FS Reissues sold out like hotcakes upon their extremely limited release this year. They are absolutely fantastic pieces with functionality and tone that rivals the original, no question about it. Rather than go into the full specs you can easily find online along with excellent demos and videos on YouTube, allow me to just get down to the nitty gritty:

First off, this came to me sans road cases. I don't know what happened to them, but they are gone. And, unfortunately, this one has sustained a little wear and tear in it's very short life. Some of the tolex has been scuffed on the outside and reglued, 2 metal feet are missing (I think those are easily replaced), and the lower part of one side of the front panel is loose from the wood bracket it screws into. Upon inspection, the wood had been split-up a bit around where the screws go in, but it has been repaired albeit not the most amazing job I've ever seen (you don't see it so I don't know why anyone would really care that much). Because of this, the bottom screw does not tighten, but I think this could be repaired well enough with wood shavings in the screw holes. That's usually an easy, safe, and surprisingly effective fix.

Cosmetically, the face plate is immaculate and like-new. It seems to be working perfectly thought I did not test the MIDI. Everything else (sliders, buttons, keys, reverb, panning) seemed to be perfectly fine and great.

As you have probably already seen, these are very expensive on the used market. Korg has no intention of doing any kind of re-release of these, so what's out there is as good as it's going to get. You see these in the high-$6k to mid-$7k range when they are for sale (granted, they come with all their kit) and they actually sell.

Most importantly, as mentioned, it works fine. Save yourself a few bucks for some bumps and bruises and the lack of something you might not have any use for, anyway. Comes with all the original cables supplied and, funnily enough, the original casters. Manuals are available online. I wish it was "Mint", but it just is what it is now. Still, this would be a nice piece for the studio!"

Polybrute and Delta CEP A - Friday FUN Synth Jam

"Very impromptu, jut before we box up the Arturia Polybrute to go back to the distributor (sniff...) One last noodle. Coupled with the Radikal Technologies Delta CEP A - a DSP based morphing synth with a big sound, and the ability to take a stereo input. Sadly this was lacking in the Polybrute."

enjoy! :)"

Roland FANTOM V2.0 - Multi Sample Engine - "Broken Bells" song by GATTOBUS


gattobus

"It's been a year since Roland FANTOM came out.
Now with OS Version 2.0 it's possible to sample, load multi-samples and play them on the keyboard!
This song was created using this feature. I sampled some of my favorite instruments and played them back with FANTOM.
Every sound you hear it comes from it, no overdubs, everything was played and sequenced in real time!
Audio was recorded multi-track via USB cable from FANTOM to my Macbook Pro.
Mixed and mastered on Ableton Live.
Video editing on Final Cut Pro."
