CARMINE SCARPACCI - 'Married To The Moog' - vintage TV commercial

video upload by Con Brio Synthesizers

"In this classic late-night TV commercial, beloved New Jersey bandleader and impresario, Carmine Scarpacci, releases his exploration of the modern electronic sounds. 'Married To The Moog' - a collection of Old World Italian classics, transmogrified for the younger ears of today. Sounds of yesterday meet the sound of the FUTURE!

He and his 'associates' strongly recommend buying a copy of this: It would be "a real shame" if you didn't have a copy or three."

"Extended version - An exercise in synchronized rhythms and external audio processing. There's an iPad between the Pro 3 and the DrumBrute. It's playing an audio file and I'm running the audio into the Pro 3's external audio input. The Pro 3 has a great live performance interface. Learn more at experimentalsynth.com"

Schrittmacher Buchla 200e

video upload by verstaerker

"this developed during a test how to play and control the Buchla200e via Midi...
i'm using a Schrittmacher to control and modulate several parameters of the 200e , such as blend of ringmod, velocity of 292 LPG, length of envelope.
The 250e Buchla sequencer delivers some modulation of the ringmod- frequency

Improvised TECHNO SET! 👊💥

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"I made this set for Clownfest 10 (online music festival).
Entire Festival is here: / @pierrottheacidcl...

*This entire set is completely improvised.*

It took a lot of work, trial and error and practice to come up with this Eurorack techno setup.

The main melodic sequencer is a "Precision Disrupter" from Anti-Kulture, which is what allows me to keep changing the bassline to random new, awesome patterns whenever I want to (and then alter and play with those patterns in real time as well) - YAY!

Being able to add some midi synced arpeggios and "FX goodies" from the Virus Darkstar is the icing on the cake in this setup! I'm running it's audio directly into the big system, through a Circuit Abbey "Gozinta" to bring the line level up to Eurorack level, then into the Erica Synths Variable VCF so I can filter the sounds in and out of the jam! I love the character the Erica filter brings to the Virus sound - Niiiiiiiiice!

Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!"

MSSIAH Bassline (C64 303)

video upload by Avrilcadabra

"I got a new C64c that looks like the other one!

this one is an 8580r5 made in 1990 so I finally got to hear MSSIAH bassline as intended.

the M8 is sending clock to the c64 over midi. Omx-27 is in M8 mode to mute / solo the drum tracks on the M8.

The box with pots I built. Basically it is just 4 pots (think I used half the value off the actual paddle pots as like half the range did nothing with actual paddles)

and a toggle switch because cynthcarts filter is backwards.

took many years of collecting things and building things and study to make this 60 second video. hopefully someone enjoys it."

Technics WSA1 by benge

via this auction

"This was Technics flagship digital synth and delivers rich and unique sounds that stand up to any big name synth of the mid 1990s. Deep bass, punchy drums and ethereal pads and sweeps will delight anyone into deep synthesis and sound design.

Acoustic Modeling Synthesis, a method to combine PCM waveform drivers with custom digital signal processing modeling resonators, is a way to simulate the sound process of acoustic instruments. It gives players full control over the parameters for the driver and resonator, and is a great system for anyone who wants to move far beyond the preset sound sets.

Unique sound combinations are possible and these can also be crossfaded by key or velocity. For anyone used to synthesizers that were restricted to their presets and ROM samples, this was a revelation. Technics were also able to accomplish 64 notes of polyphony."

Roland CR-5000 (1980 Drum Machine), T-8 and PO-20

video upload by NGC0 Music

"What's this setup? Don't even ask me...
I just wanted to record a video with the CR-5000, a vintage drum machine from the 80s I had for a while, before I sell it (It will be gone tomorrow).
I've used the Roland T-8 for bass (even though it's a drum machine primarily), and the Teenage Engineering PO-20 for all the other melodic parts."

Trying To Create A Killer Bassline For New Track From Scratch!

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"I'm on a mission to create an awesome new bass line using the Abstrakt Instruments Avalon Bass Line synthesizer. In this video, you'll see me start from scratch with nothing but an idea in mind and go through the ups and downs of the creative process, trying out different ideas, recording loops, adding effects, and even vocalizing my ideas out loud to see what works.
Along the way, I hit some roadblocks and even reach a point where I feel like it's just not going to work out, but I don't give up!"

Yorick LFE with Trigon 6

video upload by Steve Hunt

"This is 10 patches I've made to demonstrate some of what the Low Frequency Expander can do with the Sequential Trigon 6. It's just my iPhone recording everything through the air, so sorry about the audio quality. Jamie of GEOsynths is about to make a much better video showing similar things!

The LFE can add three complex LFOs, a 6-stage envelope and step sequencer and is able to send these globally to 76 Destinations on the synth (every useful knob and switch) and polyphonically (per-voice) to Destinations on the synth that can be routed through aftertouch (the 3 Oscillator pitches, filter cutoff, amp level, LFO depth and the two FX mixes) so that's an extra 7 envelope/sequencers and 21 extra LFOs for you to play with.

The LFE can also be set up to use its row of 8 envelope knobs to control any device that responds to midi CCs, so while the LFOs are controlling the synth, you have 8 knobs that can control hidden parameters (great for Page 2 of the OBX8 for example, or to control an FX unit etc.) It can also route aftertouch to only the top (or bottom, first or last) note only, allow you to polychain ANY 2 synths together, and be used as a general-purpose mod-matrix for your synth.

Yorick Tech Ltd is currently making a 10th batch of LFEs for delivery in April-June 2023. About 300 have been sold so far and 15 customers have bought two!"

Testing the new Synthesizers.com Q104 Illumination Controller module

video upload by Morten Beck

Note there's already a Synthesizers.com Q104 MIDI Interface module.

"Testing the new Q104 Illumination Controller module from Synthesizers.com.

The Q104 is a new module in the Power modules range, so like the other power modules, it's not a module that is directly part of the synthesizer, but in this case, it deals with the LED illumination inside your cabinet.

The module comes with a 6-foot self-adhesive LED strip, that you can stick inside the cabinet. The LED strip is long enough to loop around from bottom to top in a 2x22 space wide cabinet.

Korg Introduces a Giant Sized MS-20, the MS-20GS

via KORG: "Introducing the latest addition to the Korg analog synth line-up, The MS-20GS.

We’ve listened to our users, and we know that Korg synth players have different preferences when it comes to the size of the keys on their synth, which is why we offer synths in both mini and full-size versions... But bigger is ALWAYS better 😏, which is why we are proud to announce the new Korg MS-20GS, or GIANT SIZE! We’ve taken the hit Korg MS-20, with its semi-modular analog signal path and 1/4” patch points, and replaced its 37-key full-size keybed with a 12-key GIANT SIZE keybed.

Tweak and patch your favorite most simplistic nursery rhyme & get ready to never leave your room, cause the MS20GS is all you're ever going to need.... and you probably won't be able to fit it through the door! Just remember, it’s the size of the keys 🎹, not how you use them!"

IMPLEXUS Review - Majella Audio

video upload by GEOSynths

"Back in 2020 I had the pleasure of Interviewing the Team behind the IMPLEXUS, which at that time was on Kick Starter. It reached the Goal and was then released, however as we know the World changed a lot during the intervening years with costs, gaining parts and a whole lot of other issues which have impacted Synthesizer Manufacture.

Interview back in 2020

Jasper from Majella Audio reached out to me to see if I would like to Review the IMPLEXUS and I've been lucky to try out the Synth for a couple of weeks.

Like I have done previously with Mono Synth Reviews, I decided to make a complete Track using ONLY the IMPLEXUS for every Sound source, including Drums and Percussion. The process is to make each Drum Sound and Sample into NI Machine to build a Kit, then make each of the other Sounds, like Bass, Sequences and even Pads, then Track them into Logic Pro.

While I have done this before, it really was a pleasure doing it with the IMPLEXUS as the range of tones and texture is much greater than a typical Monosynth and I really enjoyed making the Review.

If you would like to download the Drums and FX Samples. you can join my Patreon where I have uploaded the NI Maschine Project and if not, there are the Samples too. https://www.patreon.com/GEOSynths

If you like the Track, you can hear it on Soundcloud too - https://soundcloud.com/magikroom/impl...

RS056 Casio FZ-1: Ferris' new synth

video upload by rejected synths

No talking demo video below.

"I’ve acquired my Casio FZ-1 quite a while ago and other than installing a floppy disk emulator, I hadn’t used it much before starting this video. Disks taking forever to load and the mostly mediocre patches I found online made me neglect this wonderful machine at first.

But from all the praise I read online and the very few videos that actually existed, I already knew that there had to be something special about the FZ-1. Countless hours later, I now understand that this sampler/synth really is a very capable machine that offered stuff in 1987 that must have been way ahead of it’s time back then. Not only is the, admittedly tiny by today’s standards, graphic display a great help when editing samples, Casio’s engineers really went out of their way to add as many features they could think of in terms of wave editing and creation. They even went as far as adding the possibility to expand the capabilities of the machine even further by additional tools that can be loaded as programs from a floppy disk.

The FZ-1 has unique analog filters, is 8 voice polyphonic and has 8 individual outs that can be assigned freely, filter cutoff can be midi controlled, it has a very nice low end and is built like a tank.

Yet nobody seems to care at all!

Yes it’s crazy how the fact that it says Casio on the back has kept this wonderful machine from receiving much praise at all, even second hand prices are FAR lower than those of comparable machines of the same era. It is said, that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. For me the FZ-1 has really turned out to be real gem :)"
