"After doing a video today with the Roland RSP-550 signal processor, I made also a video with the PPG with its raw tone. This recording is without any processing. So you can hear the unique and characterful tone of this hybrid beast. There are also some multitimbral patches and even so some with unison. Thanks for watching."

More about Crazybus: https://crappygames.miraheze.org/wiki...

Errata:
I'm not sure of the output range of the random function in the Crazybus code, e.g. rnd(40) may go up to 39 or include 40. So I used both: In the analysis I assume it includes 40 but in the Puredata patch it goes to 39."

Ambient Explorations pt.28 (VCV Rack)


video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching!
I decided to see how I can utilize VCV Rack in order to make an ambient soundscape out of it. I will also be starting doing educational content on my YouTube soon, so using VCV Rack will probably become a crucial part of it, as not a lot of beginners are willing to shell out thousands of dollars on modular when they start out their modular journey, so this FREE software alternative is an excellent option.

Join my PATREON and have access to videos before everyone sees them on YouTube, and download patch notes, and patches for your own reference as well. If you want a copy of the patch I'm using in this video, that's where it will be found.

"Very well preserved Yamaha CS-60. All parts are original. I bought it in this condition 3 years ago. Seldom used. Kept in a smoke-free studio with the lid on all the time.

This unit is complete and working very fine except for the following:
1) A voice goes off most of the time. From my research and a question to a technician that might mean that an oscillator chip on a card (of the 4th or 5th voice) needs to be tightened or replaced.
2) The ribbon strip needs to be repaired or replaced
3) The music stand is absent
4) Two original small thumbscrews of the back legs are missing.
5) The ground prong of the original and in excellent condition ac cord was removed

record a video for YouTube to see it working

Due to the political situation in my country, we do not ship to the USA, Canada or Mexico because it is excessively expensive."

ARP Sequencer Model 1613

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


via this auction

"This ARP 1613 sequencer is just back from SynthChaser, where it was given a full inspection. He replaced all of the sliders with brand new ones, cleaned the entire thing, replaced capacitors in the power supply, and two faulty timing chips that had failed. It was then calibrated and sent back good as new. It was given a clean bill of health.

I would rate it a 9.5 out of 10 cosmetically. The only blemish is a single chip in the paint by GATE 1, barely visible in the picture. Other than that, it looks to be well maintained and kept clean for its life of 46 years or so! It works almost magically with hardware synthesizers to make you create sequences you couldn't make any other way than by seeing them on this grid. It can be externally clocked, of course, or used stand alone, sending gates/triggers out. All buttons, sliders, and switches work without issue.

This is THE machine to couple with an ARP 2600, ARP Odyssey, or any modular synth where you need an extra "Hand" as the advertisement read. Works perfectly with Eurorack as well. There are 16 steps for voltage via the sliders, 3 gate outputs per step, and it can be set to play 2x 8 step sequences in Forward or Random modes. It even works at audio rate to waveshape your own creation. When you use SKIP mode, you can come up with all sorts of odd time signatures.

These are rare. I've only seen this one in my 30+ years of hunting synthesizers. It is priced to sell!"

"AVR SYNTH is a monophonic "virtual analog" synth based, originally, on the Atmel AT90S8535 microcontroller and was designed by Jarek Ziembicki. His aim was to check to see if a simple micro could be used for sound synthesis purposes. And the result? The AT90S8535 managed to do all the tasks: service front panel switches and pots, receive and process MIDI messages, and sound generation!"

Sonicware XFM & Yamaha PSS580 FM Jam - Generic Water Level Music


video upload by ChrisLody

"Apologies for the lack of videos recently. I've started back up as a self employed carpenter and joinery and I've been flat out with work since. I completely underestimated the desire for tradespeople to be honest so it's caught me by surprise!

But today I managed to find time for this jam at least. It was inspired by a question left on one of my much older videos, does the Yamaha Pss-580 (and related models) sync to an incoming clock signal? The answer is actually no, but it does send a clock and will also respond to stop/start signals so there's plenty to work with. It also has a useful midi filter so we can turn off incoming channels, useful here as the XFM is sending 4 channels out.

The XFM is sequencing the Pss-580, but the 580 is sending clock to the XFM meaning we have midi in and out connected on both devices. This has to be set up carefully or midi feedback can occur. I also had to disconnect the input to the XFM when I wanted to record new notes to the sequencer because the midi filter on the 580 seemed to be stopping notes for some reason. Still well worth a jam.

I built this track by programming a single part and then altering it using the transpose function. While it plays it possible to alter the sound in realtime on the Pss580 which is a fun way to experiment with FM sounds. The whole things sounds like generic video game water level music to me :)"

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #118: Roland V-Synth - Song 1


video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first (minimalist, spherical) song with the V-Synth. The V-Synth was Rolands flagship synthesizer released in 2003. It is 16-part multitimbral with up to 24-voices polyphony, featuring analog modeling and PCM waveforms with user sampling that can independently manipulate pitch, time and formant thanks to Rolands VariPhrase technology.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
V-Synth - Digitech Obscura - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

PPG wave 2.3 through Roland RPS-550


video upload by synthlegends

"The PPG wave 2.3 from the german synth pioneer Wolfgang Palm is the last Synthesizer of the PPG wave series. It is mulititimbral and has allready factory Midi. With the newest firmware 8.3 it is capable of sysex. There is so much written about the PPG, so I don’t repeat all infos on the Web. I run the PPG through the quite rare Roland RPS-550 multieffect processor.

The Roland RPS-550 was a stereo signal processor from 1991. It was a mid range cost effect unit with quite interesting reverb and delay effects. The Dimension D Chorus replica is very authentic to the original.

The summary in a sound on sound review of 1991 states following:

„The RSP550's reverb algorithms sound much smoother, deeper, and less metallic than sub-£500devices, though the tangible sense of space found on top flight units is not apparent — for that you'll still have to pay at least £3000. The delay and pitch shift algorithms benefit from the 21 kHz bandwidth, the Multi Stage Phaser and Stereo Flanger are brilliant, and the Vocoder is unique in this price range.

The MIDI control facility is also worthy of consideration, since it's so easy to set up, offers so many possibilities, and in most cases operates smoothly. As with all Roland gear, the manuals are exemplary.

On the down side, I sometimes yearned for the ability to roll my own algorithms, and the omission of a noise gate and compressor might raise an eyebrow or two. Guitar players will search in vain for the overdrive and distortion effects found on devices like the Boss SE50 and the new Yamaha FX900, but then the 550 isn't really designed for them.

At £750, the RSP550 is competing against the £599 Yamaha SPX1000, the £1100 Zoom 9010 and the £1000 Lexicon PCM70. Each has its own sound and combination of facilities, so if you're looking for a quality main reverb/delay unit it's well worth giving them all a listen before committing funds.

With the RSP550, Roland have utilised the power of the their latest generation of DSP chips to improve the realism and sound quality of individual programs and provide a wide range of effects. Quality and quantity is a rare combination at any price, and at £750 the RSP550 is currently unique.“

I didn’t use any further processing in this recording. Thanks for watching!"
