Quick test after rearranging folding 5U modular

video upload by John L Rice

"I’ve been battling home repairs lately and needed to do something simple and quick for my own sanity and to let all of you know I’m still alive! 🤓 Melody is played off camera on an Arturia Keystep but everything else is in view and from Synthesizers.com, Moon Modular, Synthetic Sound Labs, Grove Audio, Analog Craftsman, Laurentide Synth Works, and patched with the new Tendrils Cables 1/4” patch cords. 👍 #modularsynthesizer #electronicmusic"

New Euphoria DIY Semi-Modular Desktop Synth by ST Modular

video upload by Stefan Tretau

Details via ST Modular

Coming soon..

A semi-modular analog desktop-synthesizer

Featuring a dual complex oscillator characterized by simple and clear operation and uncompromised sound

Designed as an instrument that can be built, exolored and learned

DO IT YOURSELF! EUPHORIA is only available as a DIY-project and was designed to be built by passionate builders. It consists of fourteen individual circuit boards that are mounted on one controller board

MAIN FEATURES

TWO ANALOG OSCILLATORS

Two Voltage Controlled Oscillators with classic waveforms, waveshapers, sub-octaves and a noise source. Convenient sliding potentiometers for volume control of the waveforms. Based on the famous CEM3340 chip and a newly developed wave-shaping tone generator.

TWO SEQUENCERS

Play notes with a 5-STEP trigger and CV sequencer and an additional 4-STEP CV sequencer. Transpose and change the length of a sequence, control the tempo via CV, add swing or sequence manually with the push of a button.

OSC MIX & VARI BOARDS

Seamlessly blend the oscillators manually or by CV. Insert external audio and pass it through the Filter or internal Reverb. VARI BOARDS are interchangeable boards, each offering a different functionality. Choose the VARI BOARD that meets your requirements.

DUAL LPG, VCA & ADSR

Each oscillator is processed by a filter-based low-pass gate (PLG) and both are optionally routed through an internal AC-coupled VCA. Use the internal ADSR envelope to shape and express your sounds.

MODULATION & TOOLS

Get your sounds moving with the internal CV-controllable LFO and the Buchla 281e-inspired function generator. Multiply, invert and amplify your signals with a buffered multiple and an additional DC-coupled VCA.

"Ian Curnow tells us that the famous "tugboat" sound in 'It's My Life' was played by Tim Friese-Green on an OB-X. I don't have an OB-X, but I have an OB-Xa in the studio. Gets pretty, pretty close."

Sequential Prophet 6 Tutorial Lesson 2: Oscillators

EthanJamesMusic Sequential Prophet 6 Tutorial Lessons

"This is a tutorial series for anyone who wants to learn how to do their own sound design using the Sequential Circuits (former Dave Smith Instruments) Prophet 6 synthesizer. The goal is to break this subject down into understandable and digestible bits of information that you can apply to your own electronic music. I am primarily a media or film composer, so we will learn ambient, techno, and EDM style sound design using the synth.

This second video shows some of the options with the oscillator section of the synth. Please leave a comment with any questions or requests and a like if this was helpful.

13 de julio de 2022 - Sequential Prophet 10 Clipping Tests

video upload by Friendly Noise

"I was a little concerned about some comments I read in forums about the Prophet distorting internally. It’s not that internal distortion/saturation is a bad thing (it’s magical on the Jupiter 4), but it’s definitely an issue if the synth was not designed to saturate and it does. So I connected the Prophet 10 to an oscilloscope and took a look at the waveforms…"

Starry Night (chill Lo Fi hip hop on a Yamaha QY70)

"This is an attempt at creating a typical #lofihiphop track on an ancient piece of kit, the #yamahaqy70. I tried to incorporate all the hallmarks of the genre: downtempo beat, dreamy piano, sub bass, subdued guitar fragments and of course spades of reverb."

Free Acid/303-Style presets for Spire, Serum, Repro, Pigments, Omnisphere

video upload by Anton Anru

"Welcome to the collection of 50 Free Acid/303-Style presets for popular VST-plugins: U-He Repro, Xfer Serum, Arturia Pigments, Reveal Sound Spire, Spectrasonics Omnisphere (10 presets for each synth).

The presets are made for 303-Style MIDI Patterns, but you can use them for any purposes.

The collection includes classical 303-Style tones, as well as more complex sounds that can't be recreated on the original 303-machine - they use several oscillators, different types of filters, LFOs, unison, effects and so on.

The timbres are suitable for many genres: Acid, Rave, Techno, House, Trance, Downtempo, Lounge, Breakbeat, Jungle, Hardcore, Industrial, Dub, Electro and others.

ModWheel is set for all presets. It makes the sound brighter, wider, longer. The presets are velocity-sensitive. For the correct result, use velocity value 65 for regular notes, and 127 - for accents.

All timbres are monophonic. Envelopes and slide are in Legato Mode.

Make sure you are using the latest versions of the plugins.
Installation instructions for each synth are inside the pack.

The pack is free, but any donation is appreciated.

Seven Famous Roland Synth Sounds - Tutorial

video upload by Alex Ball

"Roland recently bundled together five of their plug-in / plug-out synthesizers into a package called the 'Analogue Polysynth Collection'.

I thought it would be fun to take seven famous songs that used the original hardware and recreate the sounds using the equivalent software and explain how they were made.

0:00 Intro
1:36 The Human League - Dreams of Leaving
3:04 Depeche Mode - Tora Tora
4:34 Gary Numan - I Dream of Wires
7:03 Michael Jackson - Thriller

9:15 Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F
10:04 Tame Impala - Eventually"

Nice black & white shots.

"This classic polysynth is in as near-mint condition as you’re likely to ever find. Basically unused. That classic John Carpenter soundtrack sound, with crazy deep mod matrix and bitimbrality. These days editors in VST and iOS make it easy to edit its depths. Comes with original power cable, printed manual, extra patches on CD-ROM."

"The expander also has edit modes for its own built in arpeggio/sequencer.

The editor workflow is pretty great. You can really open this at synth up and make new presets quickly. Edit attack, decay, LFO, waveforms, and other perimeters all with a touch of a dial, instead of menu diving.

Everything works 100% as it should.

Some scuffs here and there, one key was repaired and a few slightly misaligned, but this synth still plays great. See photos for more details."

"Fender Chroma Polaris in excellent working condition. Membrane has been replaced and the unit has been serviced by a reputable local synth technician. There are some minor marks on it, normal wear and tear with a unit this old. Includes power cable.

This synth is *very* heavy for it's size (42 lbs!) - a lot of metal, but extremely well-built. Such a cool sound, only selling because I have 2 of them. :)"

Check out a video from 2009 here, and a handful of posts here. The DBeat was introduced in 2009 and Open Labs went under in 2010, with new owners shortly after. Open Labs was first featured on the site back in 2007, "brigging sexy back" with the Timbaland Special Edition MiKo LX. See the Open Labs site label for everything that has gone up over the years.

Töörö multitimbral synth, with OXI ONE and Bluebox

video upload by Waveformer

"The Töörö is a four-part multitimbral hybrid analog/digital synth with a small footprint. In this jam/tutorial, I demonstrate how you can set up the Töörö to get separate audio outputs for each of the four parts, sequence the four parts individually with the OXI ONE sequencer and mix the parts individually with the Bluebox mixer. The configuration is explained as text overlays in the video.

My music on Bandcamp: http://waveformer42.bandcamp.com/

The audio is recorded to SD card on 1010music's Bluebox mixer/recorder and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on a Canon EOS M50 mk2 with the included EF-M 15-45mm lens. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 17.

Gear used:
- Töörö from Fred's lab
- OXI ONE from OXI Instruments
- 1010music Bluebox audio mixer and recorder

Audio connections:
- Töörö - Bluebox, using both the two stereo line outs and the main stereo out

MIDI connections:
- OXI ONE - Töörö"

ROLAND D-550/D-50 Sound Demo VALHALA CARD (Only Playing/No Talking)

video upload by Eaglechild

"Sorry everyone. This demo was supposed to be longer, but when I noticed the camera was not recording the second part.
I will do more demos of this synth soon.

ROLAND D-550 is the rack version of the classic Roland D-50.
This came out in 1987 and can be listened in many 80s artist recordings.
An absolutely gem."
