ARP 2500 VCO 1004 as LFO with 921 VCO


video upload by O.Z. Hall

"This video explores the unique waveform switching and summing of the ARP 2500 VCO 1004. There are a few good videos of what the summed waveforms sound like. This video explores the 1004 VCO used as an LFO.

The patch is 1004 VCO (lfo mode) to Quantizer ( minor scale ). Quantizer CV out goes to System 55 VCO 921 ( CV in ). The 921 audio out goes to a 1047 Multi-Mode VCF for some sound shaping. The 2500 Dual Envelope 1033 is provides a percussive envelope for the VCF.

The Swiss Daisy DSP ( ZebraSynth.net ) provides delay and reverb to finish off the sound."

UDO Super 6 Synthesizer Demo by Nightlife Electronics


video upload by Nightlife Electronics

"This is a short demo showcasing the wonderful sound of the UDO Super 6 Binaural Synthesizer. A catchy sequence that is transposed by hand and augmented with some live editing of the patch.

The Super 6 is a 12 voice synthesizer that takes a lot of inspiration from classic vintage analog synthesizers. But rather than be content with just remaking the synths of yesteryear, the brilliant team at UDO have taken that inspiration and crafted a modern classic synthesizer with its feet firmly planted in the 21st century. Using state of the art FPGA digital hardware oscillators running at insanely fast clock speeds and analog filters/VCA's they achieve a clarity of sound that instantly stands out while retaining the warm analog goodness that we all love! The Super 6 makes use of this cutting edge technology to push the stereo field to new heights with its Binaural Synthesis; essentially a complete synthesizer signal path per voice that can be phase locked and panned/spread as required. This leads to some truly unique sounds only achievable with the Super 6!

The UDO Super 6 is available now at Nightlife Electronics: https://nightlife-electronics.com/col...

THE ARP 2600...
To call the ARP 2600 an influential synthesizer is a grand understatement. When first produced in 1971, the 2600 presented musicians with the power of a full-fledged modular synthesizer, but with "normalled" connections allowed anyone to play without knowing how to program. It was educational, powerful, and flexible... And it sounded phenomenal. The 2600 can produce amazing sonic textures, leads, basses, sound effects, and just about any other sound you can imagine.

Early adopters such as Edgar Winter, Pete Townshend, Joe Zawinul and Stevie Wonder helped popularize the 2600 in a musical context. Stevie even had a customized 2600 with the controls labeled in Braille. The 2600 is also famously known as the voice of Star Wars' R2-D2, being played by sound designer Ben Burtt.

And with the reintroduction of the 2600 by Korg, as well as Antonus and 2600 VSTs such as Time wARP, Cherry Audio's CA2600 and Arturia, a whole new generation of musicians can now experience the endless possibilities of this incredible synthesizer. LEARN MORE"

LXR-02 tutorial - Part 2: Projects & Kits


video upload by Richard DeHove

"Part two of a getting started guide for the Erica Synths LXR-02 drum machine. This is with firmware version 1.1. This tutorial covers initializing a new project, adjusting basic configuration settings, using an external MIDI controller, and a run through of the voice editing parameters. Here we look at just the main drum synth voice that is used in the first three voices. Toward the end we create some basic drum sounds from scratch including some clean kicks, a few awful FM things and various flavors of snare. The remaining three voices: snare, clap and hats (and some better FM) - will be in the next tutorial.

If you want to skip all the config stuff start at 8:15 minutes in.

** A couple of minor points: At 5:00 minutes I delete some content on Pattern 1. On very rare ocassions when initializing a project I get random (but coherant!) content on Pattern 1. Of course it happened while videoing. Also, a few people would have seen an earlier "tutorial 2". This was based on the operation of the LXR-02 with an earlier SD card image which didn't allow for simple project initialization. The improved software made that video largely irrelevant so I deleted it. That's the danger with early version tutorials!"

YAMAHA CS-50 - Analog Synthesizer Review, Sounds & Demo


video upload by synth4ever

"Yamaha CS-50 analog synthesizer review, sounds and demo. In this Yamaha CS50 review & demo I provide an overview of this legendary analog synthesizer, go through each of its sounds & features, and conclude with final thoughts and a synth jam.

All sounds direct from Yamaha CS-50 with no additional processing. MXR analog stereo chorus used for stereo width.

Timecodes
------------------
00:00 - Intro
00:58 - Overview
04:55 - VCO / PWM
07:44 - Filter
09:37 - VCA
10:38 - Ring Mod
12:35 - LFO
17:59 - Sustain / Portamento
19:08 - Noise Generator
22:37 - Final Thoughts
31:46 - Outro Jam

Released in 1977, the Yamaha CS-50 is the little 4-voice brother of the 8-voice Yamaha CS-60 and Yamaha CS-80. Even with half the voices, the Yamaha CS-50 still sounds fantastic as it comes from the same analog lineage as its legendary synth big brothers.

The Yamaha CS-50 features 13 presets, a single oscillator (square, PW/PWM and sawtooth waveforms), high-pass and lowpass filters (each with resonance, for BP shaping), sine wave, VCA and envelopes, ring modulation, white noise generator, LFO with multiple waveshapes, sustain & portamento, and aftertouch across the 49-key keyboard.

The Yamaha CS-50 is great for leads but can also do great drones, pads and textures. It is a pleasure to play and is very organic thanks to the 4 independent voice cards. Both the LFO and PWM go into audio rate which provide additional sub-osc sounds, and the LFO section provides independent modulation of VCO, VCF and VCA at varying levels. The famous ring modulator sound is also on-board, and can act as a 2nd LFO for tremolo, polyrhythms or additional texture.

The Yamaha CS-50 filters are not self oscillating, but if you push the HPF/LPF resonance + the overall synth resonance & brilliance controls to max, you can get some amazing distortion, grit and overdriven sounds. Gain staging is important with the Yamaha CS-50/60/80 and allows for subtle and extreme changes in sound.

The Yamaha CS-50 build quality is incredible -- it is heavy (70-100 lbs), the faceplate is made of metal, and it comes build-in to its own wooden tolex case w/ lid and legs. It is a performance synthesizer and designed for tweaking on the fly with its many levers and sliders. As part of the Yamaha CS-60/80 family, the Yamaha CS-50 shares the same unique sound qualities and tonal characteristics of its bigger brothers.

If you can get your hands on a Yamaha CS-50, do not hesitate. They are becoming more rare on the 2nd hand market and prices are steadily rising. It is a triumph of Yamaha's synthesizer engineering at the time, and is capable of many different analog sounds. It is a beautiful organic instrument, and full of emotion.

Thanks for watching this Yamaha CS-50 review and demo, and hope you enjoy the walkthrough and sounds along the way."

Arp odyssey Video (by synthpro)


video upload by synthpro

"This is a little video I put together featuring a track I worte after restoring my personal Arp Odyssey 2810. I had put this synth off for at least 2 years but recently serviced a very clean 2823 model Odyssey for a local client and decided to knock my unit out at the same time. I used to work on more Arp stuff but those sliders really drove me crazy but thanks to Synthchaser's drop in slider kits its now possible to really restore these old Odysseys.

This Track features my Odyssey 2810 as well as a Rhodes sound from my Korg Radias, and drums were from a Roland TR-8
