Roland JX-8P or Jupiter-8? And why? | Studio time (faux live stream)


video by Espen Kraft

"Roland Jupiter-8 and JX-8P. Two very different synthesizers.
If you take away the price, cult-status and looks of the Jup-8, and THEN compare it to the 8P. Which one would you rather have? Or if I put it like this, if you had BOTH, would you always use just ONE, and why?
If I had a better broadband connection I would do the occasional (or maybe even more than that) live stream and this is how it would be, me fleshing out new ideas by hooking up a couple of synths, and a sequencer and just keep going for an hour or two. If I'm doing non-pop, sound design, paid gigs for event music or other types of music, I often sit and just play/design quite random sounds and motifs.
Today I used the Jupiter-8 and the JX-8P and a MSQ-700 sequencer on occasion. Some of the ideas that emerged will become larger pieces."

Yamaha CP-30 1977~78


video by George Benton

"A quick view of a classic 70's style electric piano. Built by Yamaha, it had a dual tone generator system that could be panned and detuned for a beautiful chorus. Early touch sensitive keyboard. This thing weighed nearly 120 pounds!"

Ghost In Translation SYNTH - v1.2.1 Update


video by Ghost In Translation

"SYNTH v1.2.1 is now available, it improves the polyphonic portamento, and fixes the arpeggiator mode which is now polyphonic.

Code on https://github.com/ghostintranslation...
PCB and panel on https://ghostintranslation.bandcamp.c...

SYNTH is a modular FM polyphonic synthesizer, based on eurorack physical format it has however no patch cables in the front but has rather midi and audio jacks in the back.

It is based on my homemade platform Motherboard.

New MIDIMini Demos by Studio Electronics


Chords, Rings, and Feedback Wars video by StudioElectronics

"It’s all about the gain staging in this discrete beast: processing and managing the relative levels in each step of the V’s audio signal flow to allow for the introduction of desired noise and distortion. Clean is easy.

Feedback (loop), FBK (feedback) Gain, Amp Drive, individual Oscillator levels, and the main Volume all interact and alter one cherished fact after another; the 24dB ladder to heaven is also… everything, except for the burnished bookends, the dualistic dynamism of synthesizer tone: Ringmod and Crossmod. Fans of our ATC know this verity well–enjoy in somewhat better fidelity on our SoundCloud page.

Spoiler Alert! it really starts to get layered and multi dimensional and very satisfying, at around 7:27​. Now go back and listen to the whole thing from the beginning.

Treatment:
Just a touch of compression from our vintage dbx 163X during tracking, into the my marvelous DP10 (will never switch), and a spot of verb in the last few seconds—the balance is pristine and massive Midimini V30."

Synth Spotting in Soigne Ta Droite / Keep Up Your Right - 1987


video by heung jun oh

Some Cocteau Twins style drums.

This one is in vis swissdoc who had the following to say:

"I came across this recently in a very special artistic movie by director Jean-Luc Godard from Romandy (Suisse romande - the French-speaking part of western Switzerland).

The movie is called Keep Your Right Up (French: Soigne ta droite / Une place sur la terre) from 1987. It is featuring Catherine Ringer and Fred Chichin from the group Les Rita Mitsouko in some scenes in a musical studio showing some synths."

Here's the trailer for the film:

Soigne ta droite - Bande annonce

video by Gaumont

There's an additional music scene here but no synths.

Below are a few screen grabs via swissdoc. You can spot an Oberheim Four Voice System, a Moog Memorymoog, and what appears to be an Elka Rhapsody 610 below and to the right of the FVS. Update: one more pic added below of what looks like the back of an OB-1.

See the Synth TV and Film label for additional synth spotting.

Ensoniq Fizmo Transwave Synth

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


via this auction

"This is the ultra rare and sought after 1998 Ensoniq Fizmo. It's the first Ensoniq to use real time controls but it came out when the company was already going under so not many of these were made. I have had over 50 synths and nothing else sounds like this. Each preset includes 4 layers that you can assign to any part of the keyboard so different parts can be layered or split in whatever way you want. There's the usual wave shapes (which sound really good) as well as a bunch of stranger wave shapes. Basically each preset ends up being 8 osc, 8 filters, 8 lfos with 7 waveforms each, 24 advanced envelopes to help shape and modulate everything, plus there's 41 built in effects to pick from, aftertouch, and all those real time knobs. Everything works. I've only had it one year but I've bought way too much stuff so some things have to go. All keys, presets, knobs, wheels work perfectly and I've used this with other midi sequencers and built and saved my own sounds as well. The volume knob has a little bit of wiggle to it but still works. A couple very minor scratches but as you can see it's in excellent shape and a real beauty. Includes the original manual and power adaptor. I just bought the brand new Fauxmo software that makes programming this thing a breeze. I'll see if there's a way I can transfer that to you but I'm not sure if that's possible or not. Comes from the Secret Records studio."

A Tiny 808? Roland TR-606 Maxed Out Mod


video by HAINBACH

"In which I show the 'TR-608' mod by Filippo Samoré, who crammed all the mods you can do into my humble 606. The mod is high-quality and truly enhances the sound engine of the 606 without compromising its handy form factor. It is almost like a TR-808 now, except maybe a little more interesting, because it is still a charmingly shuffling 606 at its core. Contact Filippo: https://www.instagram.com/thatacidwas..."

Eraldo Bernocchi - Medusa Digital FM Composition Tips


video by Polyend

"A fantastic machine became simply stunning providing unlimited sound colors. I wanted to drift away using the hold mode and the advantage of 5 LFOs modulating various parameters. Both videos are extracts from a very long improvisation. Hopefully, they give the idea of what is possible to do and how great the Medusa is sounding."
