DIY MIDI Patch Storage box for Yamaha Reface CS

video upload by Extralife

"I love the Yamaha Reface CS but its Achilles' heel is its inability to remember patches or presets. I created a device to solve this by storing the control change values and re-setting them over MIDI, using Arduino nano and a custom interface PCB.

The source code and PCB files are available here:

Only a single output expander is supported at any time but either can be used alongside an AXON-1 CV input expander.

125bpm RF Modular jam

video upload by Radical Frequencies Modular

"This is the first jam for 2023 ,
125 bpm old school Goa trance style. The bass is the AD Multi Vco into SH Vcf , I mix the wave from Vco with a sub square oscillator too .
The wave at the start of the clip is a saw that’s In phase with the sub wave , after changing the wave into triangle saw wave in opposite phase .
The melody is the DPVCO through transistor mixer and then in high pass mode through 12db Multi Vcf .
The drums are analog as always .
The thing here is the transpose of the sequenses via midi that I play real time ;) The sequences are from sq1 and OC .

Crumar Stringman

"The Stringman was Crumar first and most authentic string machine that was released in 1974 and used by ABBA and Neil Young. Sounds way better IMO than the Performer or Orchestrator.
It has Cello and Violin sounds on the whole keyboard and a Contrabass sound on the lower part of the keyboard with dedicated volume fader.
It has a very nice 3 band EQ a vibrato with delay and of course a BBD triple chorus (based on the TCA350 juste like the Arp Eminent Solina String Ensemble).

Unit was fully serviced and in perfect working condition. Almost all the electrolytic capacitors were replaced (50 or so): power, sound generator, filters, chorus, audio amp etc.
It is in very nice condition with minor wear and comes with its original lid.
You can partially hear it in action in the following video:" [posted here]

Afterglow | Downtempo electronic jam with Jupiter 6, Prophet 10, SH-101, DSI Tempest, and Pyramid

video upload by MIDERA

"I finally got my studio reorganized. I had spent about 3 weeks fixing up my Jupiter 6, but everything else became disheveled. I realized how much time I spend 'noodling' and how it's just not rewarding, not like writing music. I realize for the most part, my 'noodling' videos tend to do better - probably because people are specifically interested in what the instrument does.

But I don't really get much out of those videos... except it keeps my channel 'active.' I'd take a written song any day over the nothing videos that I post. It feels good to get back into it.

Track uses the Roland Jupiter 6, Sequential Prophet 10, Roland SH-101, and DSI Tempest. Eventide Blackhole VST for FX."
