New Divkid Stereo Strip - A Channel Strip For Eurorack

STEREO STRIP // Stereo processing for Eurorack with EQ, CV pan, VCA and more

NEW DIVKID MODULE!!! video upload by DivKidVideo

"I’m proud to present to you STEREO STRIP. My next module made in collaboration with Befaco. Stereo Strip is a stereo EQ, VCA, panner, distortion, mute & line level input and/or output interface for external gear.

Stereo Strip builds upon the well trodden paths of studio channel strips expanding them for musical and creative modular use with voltage control. Simply try swapping out simple VCAs for Stereo Strip to enhance your patches with EQ and voltage controlled panning. Or get creative and check out the patches below for highly shapeable distortion hacks, mind bending stereo ring modulation, CV routing, feedback waveshaping and more."

Divkid Stereo Strip - A Channel Strip For Eurorack
video upload by Patchwerks

"In this video Matthew (aka EZBOT) shares an overview and demo of the Divkid and Befaco collaboration, Stereo Strip.

Stereo Strip takes the idea of a channel strip and makes it modular. We hope that by bringing this long-established component of the audio engineering world into the Eurorack environment and by adding CV control over its key parameters that you will find new, creative ways to use it in your patches!

It features stereo inputs and outputs for audio or CV with EQ, voltage controlled panning, stereo VCA, performable mute and input/output level switching for Eurorack or line level uses. Abusing the input level switching allows for some musical, modulate-able and highly shapeable distortion sounds too.

Stereo Strip was designed to be a creative part of a modular patch. Creating
stereo images from mono sources, shaping and modulating existing stereo
images, synthesising stereo pseudo ring modulation, sweetening FX with EQ or drastically wave shaping your oscillators, creating send FX routings with benefits or it can simply be used as a channel strip at the end of chain in a patch.

The addition of line level gain boosting (for the input) or reduction (for the output) allow it to work as a stereo input or output interface for external gear with the advantage of the VCA, panning and the EQ to shape the sound. Experiment with bringing external gear into the Eurorack format and then shape and modulate those sounds them on the way in!

Try patching Stereo Strip anywhere you would place a VCA in a system and/or explore its EQ and voltage controlled panning, which are rarer additions to the sound sculpting options for the Eurorack format.

Synthstrom Deluge & MPE - 4 0 Firmware Update

video upload by Too Mere

"Demonstrating the MPE functionality and making a tune with the Linnstrument to control and edit MPE on the Synthstrom Deluge."

-------

Details on the 4.0 update via the Synthstrom Audible forum:

"We're very excited today to announce the arrival of our huge 4.0 software update.

Instructional videos and downloads links are at the bottom of this spiel.

Highlights include:

Wavetable synthesis, and improved single-cycle waveform playback.
Support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), and similarly MIDI polyphonic aftertouch. The Deluge can receive MPE from external MIDI controllers that support it, it can record this data, and the internal Deluge synths can respond to it. And this MPE data may also be output again to an external synth.
Euclidean sequencing - per row of a clip on the Deluge. This also means that now individual rows within a clip may be set to different lengths.
Sequences can be set to play in reverse, or to ping-pong.
Synths, kits and songs may be put into folders, and the user can browse these when saving and loading.
MIDI input devices (and to a limited extent output devices) may be differentiated and treated separately, so that two devices sending on the same MIDI channel won’t be confused.
Improved handling of regular MIDI pitch bend and channel pressure. Adjustable MIDI pitch bend ranges.
Sharing presets along with their audio files, with other Deluge users, is now easier.
MPE SUPPORT
This massive release makes the Deluge the first standalone hardware sequencer to offer comprehensive MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support, allowing you to record, edit and transmit expressive MPE with compatible devices. You can also use external MPE devices to get expressive with the Deluge’s internal synth/sample engine. Tip: combine with the Deluge’s multisample support to bring expression to everything!

EUCLIDEAN SEQUENCING & INDIVIDUAL ROW LENGTH
Euclidean note entry brings an entire new method of beat and melody creation to the Deluge. Coupled with the ability to now make any row within a kit, any length, this infinitely broadens the scope for new rhythmic variations and ever-evolving melodies.

You can set the length of a row, dial in how many steps you would like to play on that row (automatically divided ‘musically’), and then move those notes horizontally - this becomes not just a new way to make innovative rhythms, but an incredibly versatile performance tool.

PLAY-DIRECTIONS
If being able to set the length of a row wasn’t enough, you can now tell the Deluge what direction (forward, reverse or ping-pong) to play-back those particular notes and not only that, you can have each and every row playing a different direction. Warning: fun.

POLYPHONIC AFTERTOUCH, IMPROVED “MONO” EXPRESSION
In bringing MPE to the Deluge, we at the same time introduced support for good ol’ MIDI polyphonic aftertouch, plus you can now record both pitch bend and channel pressure (aka monophonic aftertouch) into synth, MIDI and CV clips. And, this data now stays with the clip even when you change presets or switch between clip type (e.g. from MIDI to synth etc.).

Previously, synth clips could only record pitch bend, not channel pressure, and CV clips couldn’t record either.

ADJUSTABLE BEND RANGE
The Deluge is no longer stuck with a 1-octave bend range. Now, there’s a global setting under DEFAults -> BEND to set the default bend range. This should default to 12 semitones (1 octave) for all existing users, it will default to the more normal 2 semitones for new users. Anyway, you can go ahead and change it.

WAVETABLE SYNTHESIS, AND IMPROVED SINGLE-CYCLE WAVEFORM PLAYBACK.
How about an entirely new form of synthesis? The Deluge will now support Wavetable files, Ringmod on the Deluge is also totally compatible with Wavetable, you may even put a separate wavetable in each of the two oscillators, with each of their wavetable-positions affecting the resulting sound.

The Deluge has always supported the playback of single-cycle waveforms by loading them as samples. But now, a technically superior option is for these to be played as a wavetable, as the wavetable engine is more fit for this purpose: it is more CPU-efficient, and will produce higher quality sound with less aliasing, particularly with high notes. It also allows the use of ringmod and oscillator sync. The wavetable-position parameter is not available when playing single-cycle waveforms, as there are not multiple cycles to interpolate between.

PRESET & SONG FOLDERS
Our users jumped for joy when we announced this new addition. You can now separate your 1 million presets and songs into folders to make navigation easier!

DIFFERENTIATING MIDI INPUT DEVICES
Now, the Deluge will differentiate between MIDI coming from different hosted USB devices, and MIDI into the input DIN port, and from a connected computer which is hosting the Deluge.

Let’s say you have the Deluge hosting say a Keystep via USB (and that’s through a USB hub), and you’ve actually learned all 16 channels from that Keystep to different synths on the Deluge. Well, then you could connect another USB MIDI device to your hub, and learn those 16 MIDI channels to yet another 16 synths on the Deluge. And whatever MIDI device is plugged into the Deluge’s DIN input will have its 16 channels treated as independent yet again.

IMPROVED MODULATION MATRIX
Lastly, we’ve also improved our modulation matrix! - The feature where the modulation-depth of a source-param pair (or “patch cable”) can itself be modulated by another modulation source – well, previously the Deluge could only handle doing this for one such patch-cable per synth. This limitation has now been removed, and you can do it for as many patch-cables as you want, subject to other existing limitations.

HAVE FUN!"

Comparing Juno-X vs Original Juno-106: Patch Match From Scratch!

video upload by MR TUNA Music

"The comparison you're dying to hear! Two synths enter, but only one will be crowned KING!
Ok actually they are both *awesome* machines, but today's experiment is to show of how close we can get the newly announced Juno-X to the classic 106 from 1984 that inspired it.

We'll start with a initialized patch and build the sounds up as closely as we possibly can.

That being said, my poor old 106 is approaching 40 years old now and it has its own set of quirks and issues. After about an hour the outputs start to crackle and a some of the faders and pots are a bit scratchy or skippy. Its still an amazing sounding instrument tho, and the Juno-X really holds up to that legacy.

Check it out! And let me know what you think."

"Very rare Japan made clone of the Roland RS202. IMO a better and brighter version of the RS202. To me it has a much cleaner and livelier sound than the 202.
The tone controls are more like a low pass filter rather than a standard tone control. The ensemble effect is incredible and has 2 different intensities. This synth also has a dedicated bass output aside from the main output which allows for more discrete/parallel mixing or dynamic control options in a studio environment.
In excellent condition for its age and comes complete with the lid and original sheet music stand. Very clean and in full working condition."

"This VS was previously used with the upmost of care - only small cosmetic blemishes can be seen on the chassis (minor surface scratches and finish chips). Electronically, it is pristine and functions just as well as the day it was purchased. The Prophet VS was way ahead of its time; packed with incredible sounds and functions, the Prophet VS rivals some of the best sounding synths from today. The Prophet VS uses Vector Synthesis as its revolutionary new means of sound creation. It uses a total of four oscillators per voice with 127 waveforms (32 user) and dynamic waveform crossfading via the joystick. This was Sequential's first digital synth, and it was also their final synth, unfortunately. The Prophet VS is still a very sought after instrument because it has an incredible range of sounds!"

"The Korg Sigma is a monophonic analog synthesizer made in Japan in 1979. It is a largely underestimated vintage synthesizer, because it is not widely used. Its organ-like appearance must have contributed to its commercial failure? open, it is a synthesizer with a very strong personality and expressiveness! The Korg Sigma is also a secret weapon for a sound designer. The Korg Sigma offers 2 distinct sections: the SYNTHE section and the INSTRUMENT section. Both sections are mixable and each have their own separate audio output. The SYNTHE section offers several stackable waveforms, each waveform has a setting: some have a combined ATTACK RELEASE setting, some a DECAY setting. The INSTRUMENT part offers 11 different sounds. These are the "typical" analog sounds of the late 70s; As for the SYNTHE section, each sound of the INSTRUMENT part has a setting, some offer an ATTACK setting, some offer a filter opening/cutting setting, others offer a TONE setting... As in the SYNTHE section all sounds in the INSTRUMENT section are stackable. There is also a RING MOD which sounds great and can be influenced by any Sigma source. The left part of the control panel is the section called "EFFECT", offers several functions to modify the sound: OCTAVE UP, OCTAVE DOWN, PORTAMENTO, KEY HOLD, MULTIPLE TRIGGER. Adjusting the speed of VIBRATO.."

Interesting location for the serial number.

"Marion Systems MSR-2 16 Voice Analog Synthesizer

Unit has Two Analog Synth Modules and was customized by Marion Systems

This auction is for one of the most powerful 1 unit analog synthesizers ever made. Two MIDI inputs and a 25 pin connector on each module to access all sorts of advanced features. Full MIDI implementation with velocity and aftertouch This MSR-2 comes with Original Manual and Original Power Supply Main unit 1.09 O.S. and 1.13 O.S. for each of the two ASM modules

A new Energizer battery was installed 3 years ago so should be good for another 15-20 years, but back up your stuff if you create great sounds.

Customized by Tom Oberheim and Marion Systems
In 1998 I sent the unit back to Marion Systems for an upgrade. They added a second Analog Synth Module (ASM) and upgraded the O.S. I was working as a tech at E-mu Systems and Tom Oberheim called me at work and we talked about my love for all synths Oberheim. He told me he could disable the EQ in the MSR-2 and get an addition al 3 DB of gain. I told him that would be great, they removed EQ, and the volume gain is significant. Tom was really nice and it was an honor, as an EE myself, to talk to him.

So yes this is a customized MSR-2 by Tom Oberheim and his Marion Techs. The Eq section screen is still there in software, but has no effect since disabled

Custom programmed SuperPatch sounds
I have created several Super Patches as shown in video below to show the power of this synth. The Super Patches are organized in groups
10 Bass Super Patches
10 Pad Super Patches
10 Lead Patches
and Sound Effect Super Patches
The factory patches are installed in the first 200 patches on each Analog Synth Module.

Search three words Silicon Breakdown Oberheim to see my love for the Oberheim synths. I have a picture of Tom Oberheim hanging in my studio. I have owned the website Silicon Breakdown since 1999, which is devoted to American analog synths.

This MSR-2 has been used in many songs by Mad Science Lab, search Spotify, Apple Music or my music site MadScienceLab(.)com
I only sell one or 2 synths a year from my collection.

The unit has never had any mechanical or audio issues and is 100% working."

Behringer Gives an Update on their Yamaha CS80 Clone the DS-80

Note John Price, is also working on their EMS VCS3 SYNTHI clone.

"We have some exciting update on the DS-80 development. Our lead engineer John Price spent nearly two years recreating the magical CS-80 voice board and transform it into a modern design, while retaining the authentic behavior or the original circuitry. This board is now ready to be tested.

We have completed the voice 'bread board', which is the final step before moving to the actual design of the synthesizer.

This board serves as test and evaluation platform to compare its performance with the original voice board. As you can see, the board contains two voices, and also the digital control section including the powerful ARM processor, plus the VR’s that represent the temporary front panel controls.

For a complete DS-80 we would need 8 of these boards, which shows you the insane amount of complexity and components.

Because this is one of the most complex synthesizer ever designed, we’re still a long way from delivering a final product, but we hope you’ll find this interesting.

Wish us luck with this ambitious project - there is also a substantial risk that we won’t succeed."
