Impromptu Buchla 288r Summit

video by Todd Barton

"Last week I and my friends Adam Scramstad and Kyle Swisher got the new Buchla 288r Time Domain Processor by Roman Filippov. We were not the only ones...it seems there are a lot of these modules out in the wild now and lots of cool sharings from many folks on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube et al.
So. . . on a whim I asked if Kyle and Adam would like to join me for an impromptu "summit" meeting to discuss this module. This is our Zoom meeting from last night. Enjoy!"

"Sequential Prophet-5 Depeche Mode Puppets Cover"
Synthesizer Demo By Rik Marston
Original song by Depeche Mode / Vince Clarke

I have been playing Depeche Mode covers for years but the
timing on this cover was harder than I thought! Sorry about that!
Anyway all sounds are from the Sequential Prophet-5 multi-track
recorded & the drums / sequencing are from the Korg Kronos.
I'm using the "Tee Are Oh Eight Kit" from Uber Analog Volume 3,
my exclusive Roland sample pack for the Korg Kronos!
my
universe! And it's a great way to connect with me, too! :)"

"VIRTUALLY" GOOD 😁- Studiologic Sledge Impressions

video by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"*Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol*

Shoutout to Katherine, she requested the Sledge and here it finally is, I appreciate her suggestion, a true supporter!

This is like a cheap Waldorf. The best CHEAPEST Waldorf money can buy...........see what I bolded there...I really REALLY like the sound of the Sledge, I’d say this is a real hidden gem, truly a joy to play, not the best build, for under $1000, yeah I’d go with the Sledge over a bunch of other newer VAs.

Special thanks to Perfect Circuit! They hooked me up, but this isn't sponsored by them besides letting me borrow the Sledge. Free advertising for them, a chance to check out a synth for me :) So check them out as they're one of the best shops for recording, pro audio and synths around. I got my Eurorack there so they can consult you as well! https://www.perfectcircuit.com/

Buy the Sledge here from my friends at Perfect Circuit who didn't pay me anything to shout them out, but I like them, so why not support a local shop! https://www.gopjn.com/t/TUJGR0tHS0JHS..."

"Get that sweet Oberheim sound in a compact single rack space Matrix 1000. This one is the more rare white version, comes with Tauntec 1.20 firmware eprom installed. Tauntec fixes a lot of midi issues that the original Oberheim firmware had. Such as being able to have more realtime control of things like the filter cutoff etc. when using an editor. Will also come with a power cord and the original Oberheim 1.11 eprom if you would like to return it to stock.

White Model OBERHEIM MATRIX 1000 w/ Patch List

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

via this auction

"Huge sounding 1U rack synth from Oberheim, giving access to 800 classic Obie patches in ROM (first 200 slots are user selectable 'RAM'), in the later and harder to find white face finish...

OS version is 1.13 which was the first of the post-factory updates from Nordcore, and sorted out many midi issues. I'll leave it up to the new owner if you prefer to go to Gligli 1.16 or the latest Nordcore 1.2, they all improve the factory version, any can be bought on eBay for around £15 and take 5 minutes to drop in, I'm happy to do not for you if you'd rather not tackle it, but I've been using it very happily as-is for years so definitely not a requirement!

Original manual and original patch sheet are in great shape too, it really is increasingly rare to find a white one in this shape with those included."

Clavia ddrum AT drum module w/ carts

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

via this auction

"This is an extrmemly rare ddrum AT drum module (brain) by the Swedish company Clavia. There were only a couple hundred of these units made. The AT stood for Acoustic Trigger. It is the first Clavia module to allow for triggering via acoustic sources - acting as a drum brain for acoustic drums, playable pads, etc. Of course it can also be triggered, or sequenced, via MIDI, or via gate/trigger signals to its inputs.

This module comes with the even rarer sound packs. Including: Drumkit 1, Drumkit 2, Tom 2, Assorted Perc. 3, and Churchbell/Gong 1. The ddrum AT also has internal kits ranging from rock to electronic and lofi. This module is one of the best I have ever heard and the control and sensitivity are awesome. Cosmetically the unit is in excellent shape for its age and functions 100%."

“Flux meets Jupiter-4 11 - LFO Modulation” by Friendly Noise

video by Friendly Noise

Friendly Noise Jupiter-4 videos

"This is number 11 of a video series combining the best of vintage sound and the best of the modern sequencer technology in eurorack: Roland Jupiter 4 and IO Labs Flux. There will be a new short video every week.

The Jupiter 4 is always recorded in mono, which makes the internal chorus very subtle. Reverb is added in Cubase to make the sound wider. There is no clipping in the recording chain. If you hear anything close to distortion, it’s all in the sound coming out of the Jupiter 4.

The Roland Jupiter 4 has been rediscovered and established as the most full of character among the Roland polyphonic synths. Although limited in number of voices and straight forward sound architecture, it shines with an unique sonic print which no other synth can emulate. There are lots of great video demos and information on the web, so that no detailed description will be provided here. But it’s important to mention some unique features which will be showed extensively in this video series:

- The Jupiter 4 filter goes into self oscillation. Big guys like Yamaha CS-80, Jupiter 8 or Oberheim OBX-a can’t.
- The LFO is fast enough to get into audio range.
- There is a very noticeable internal saturation when the VCA slider is raised.

Don’t expect nice bass sounds and classic analog leads. The Jupiter 4 is perfect for that, but this has already been done before in many records and internet demos. What you are about to hear is the extreme side of the sound. Be prepared for drones, massive low frequencies, cracking saturation, ultra fast notes and unusual scales. Many sounds will remind you of modular synthesizers, but they were all created by direct recording of the Jupiter 4. :-)

In fact, the VCO is switched off and you will be hearing only the self oscillating filter in almost 80% of the video series. Only in the last videos you will hear the VCO. That means that 80% of the sounds you will hear couldn’t be made with other classic polyphonic synths, unless the filter self oscillates.

Luckily this Jupiter 4 was modded with CV and gate inputs and outputs per voice (and then some). Using this level of control per voice you can use the Jupiter 4 as a vintage monophonic synth, or drive individual voices differently. For example, applying vibrato or slide per voice. In this video series, only three voices were used.

The amazing sound of this Jupiter 4 can break the traditional boundaries specially when driven by the Temporal Modulation Synthesis sequencer Flux, made by IOLabs: https://www.tmsynthesis.com/
Flux is the most advanced tool for rhythm creation ever made. Ever. Trying to explain Flux is few words is not possible. Please look for information on the web. You are also invited to visit my Flux playlist here:"

Roland JUPITER-Xm Demo - “Save Your Tears” by The Weeknd using Step Edit as Sequencer

video by Robert Saint John

"My iMac is in for repairs and I can’t yet do this as a full tutorial, so it’s more of a quick demo. This rough cover of The Weeknd’s “Save Your Tears” is all JUPITER-Xm, contained in a single Scene, using pre-sequenced Step Edit patterns and live performance.

Part 1: live Juno strings lead
Part 2: sequenced bass
Part 3: sequenced pad
Part 4: sequenced pluck

Tricks in use:

Starting with all Parts selected, the Step Edit Grid Length is set to 16. Parts 3 & 4 start muted. I start the patterns, then I quickly unmute with SHIFT+8/9 after a measure, and change Grid Length back to full 64 steps with Knob 2, to create an intro.

Part 1 is not sequenced and is the only Part with KeySw on for live performance.

The synchronized Step Edit patterns are set to Step Mode: KeyShift so that I can briefly transpose it all and back with a tap of a key. This is a great and simple way to introduce variation into an otherwise static 64-step pattern."

"One of my secret dreams is to bring a A/V live performance in a dome. This could be a track to open with, so that in the first few seconds I could enjoy the space and its effect firsthand, before devoting myself entirely to the public. Can you imagine what could come after these few notes?"
