The Game-Changing Roland Jupiter 4 Arpeggiator: A Must-Hear Demo

video upload by Andy Whitmore

"Unveiling the Hidden Power of Roland Jupiter 4 Arpeggiator
| HQ DEMO & TUTORIAL
This video demonstrates the sound and features of the Roland Jupiter-4 analog synthesizer. Enjoy!

The audio is DIRECT, 100% DRY, & IN STEREO - You are hearing the raw audio as it comes directly from the synthesizer. NO post processing (Effects, EQ, or Dynamics) whatsoever.

The Roland Jupiter-4 is a very strong, agressive, massive, but also sweet sounding synth. The sound is really incredible for only one VCO with one Sub-VCO. In this this Demo you will listen to this wide range of sounds.

The Roland JP-4 came out 1978, mine is from Nov. 1979 with the later filter board.

The great features of the JP-4 are:
- extremely fast envelopes
- ultra fast LFO and also slow LFO to get FM sounds and very slow filter sweeps as well
- fantastic sounding filter with ultra fat and sweet self resonance
- stereo chorus, not so strong like in the Juno 6/60, but very musical
- nice arpeggiator with triggering by a sequencer or drum machine
- random S/H filter modulation
- fantastic versatile bender board
- you can trim the 4 voices and slightly detune them on the back of the unit to achieve a really fat sound
- polyphonic portamento

Watch me bring that sound back to life!🎹🕺 "

"Moo Moo Dual Oscillator is available now!

I’ve been working on analogue designs since I got asthma during pandemic and had to take a break from singing…

This multiple layered dual oscillator produces a wide array of sounds from pure tones to complex noise and has some unique qualities that I’m really happy with. And today, finally ready to release…

There are some module introductions below. Please contact me for more details if you’re interested. Thank you so much for your support!

The Moo Moo Dual Oscillator from Beanie Bunnie features:

2 x Fully featured through zero analogue oscillators.
1 x Analogue Noise source with dedicated analogue state variable filter.
2 x 2 input mixers with inverted outputs for extra wave shaping options, plus CV and manual controls for crossfading between each input.
2 x Octave controls with 5 octave range and CV control.

Each oscillator section features:
Individual outputs for Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square and Pulse wave forms (+/-5V).
1 x Through zero linear frequency modulation (TZ LIN FM) input which is normalled to the output of the opposite mixer/crossfader and a TZ LIN FM amount control.

1 x TZ OFFSET control that offsets the through zero modulation 0 crossing point and also acts as a coarse tune for the oscillator frequency.
1 x Large fine tune control that has a 1 octave range for precise setting of the frequency.
1 x Octave with CV input that has a 5 octave range.
1 x Pulse Width Control and with CV modulation (PWM) input.
1 x Noise amount control that sends the output of the filtered noise section directly into the through zero modulation of the oscillator (this is in parallel with TZ LIN FM input).
1 x Sync control with option of setting both oscillators to hard or soft sync via the mode button.
1 x Exponential Frequency Modulation Input for V/Octave connection from a keyboard. The right input is normalled to the left so both oscillators can follow keyboard pitch with only one connection.

Each mixer section features:
2 x Inputs (A and B) for audio or CV sources.
1 x Crossfader control plus CV input that can also act as a volume control or VCA when only one of the mixer inputs is used.

The noise section features:
1 x Analogue noise source (sent into the filter).
1 x Analogue state variable filter with selectable Low Pass, Band Pass and High Pass modes.
1 x Mode select button with hold function to switch the oscillator sync between hard or soft sync.
1 x Filter resonance control.
1 x Filter frequency control.
1 x Filter frequency CV input.
1 x Filtered noise output.

The other modules shown in the video are the Tiny Tot Utility and the Huhu 4 Att-Verter.

The Tiny Tot Utility features:
2 x 2 input mixers with bipolar attenuverters for each input and one input normalled to +5V.
2 x Manual or CV controlled dividers with setting for /2, /4, /8 and /16.

The Huhu 4 Att-Verter features:
4 x Attenuverters with dedicated outputs.
1 x Mixed output for channels 1 and 2.
1 x Mixed output for channels 3 and 4.
1 x Mixed output for all channels.
Channels 2 and 4 are normalled to +5V.

MS-20 One Synth Challenge

video upload by Cyberspace O'Blivion

"I figured that it'd be worth demonstrating what this synth can do as the sole sound generator for a track for that video, hence this video where I use the MS-20 mini for the one synth challenge

There's a couple of sounds where I brought the K2 in as well, the behringer version of the MS-20, and hard panned each synth across from each other for a binaural type effect. By using both synths directly with each other it became quite evident that the K2 isn't able to pull as much sonic weight as the MS-20 Mini. It's good, and is very nearly identical, but the filter especially is just that little bit lacking. But within a whole mix and the way I've used it here, the difference is negligible

The drums where the hardest part to get right with this. I'm not sure if it's a limitation of the MS-20 itself or a failure on my part to find the most optimal percussive sounds. The kick especially I'm not super thrilled about, but the rest of the elements serve their purpose. I've done my best with mixing to bring the most out of all of the sounds, but there's some elements that I think would've been better served by a different sound source, mostly the kick. Overall, this is a solid synth, and as a primary sound source has a lot of scope, but I'd pair it with at least a drum machine of some sort

I really enjoyed working with the limitations of one synth for a track. I might do this again sometime with a different synth, probably the MicroBrute. Truth be told, all of our albums are basically one synth challenges with the MatrixBrute as it's pretty much the only synth we use to record our albums. The other synths we have do show up occasionally, and drums are dealt with independently, mostly with samples from drum machines or the occasional acoustic drum-kit."

Hydrasynth really can do Rich and Warm!

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds & Synthesis

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

This Patch will be in the Ultimate Pads Vol.1 Bank Coming Soon. - Patch Name SM Omnistax

Following a viewers comment yesterday regarding the hydrasynth not having any depth or richness, I set out today to see just how much depth and richness it can do.

I must admit I was of the same opinion with the lack of depth and warmth, but as always, diving under the hood and carefully adding motion and movement, the Hydrasynth can sound very very warm and very rich indeed. So I will happily stand corrected on my initial views.

I thought I would share this to let anyone who has or had the same opinion, it may make you think again.

This has no external effects, all 100% Hydrasynth.

thanks

The many moods of the Future Factory delay (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Future Factory by Free the Tone is a stereo delay most often heard creating beautiful ambience. But is is also easily able to do chorus, vibrato, flanging and overdrive (listen around the 9 minute mark for the filth). So here it's teamed with the trusty DB-01, both synced to the same MIDI clock, and the knobs twiddled. The delay comes pre-loaded with 128 presets showing off many of the settings. The interface is certainly unusual but is quite fast to access the various parameters. In the video I mainly tweak the 3-band EQ, modulation and drive. As usual my aim is to give you an idea of what it's like to actually operate and tweak the pedal rather than an idealised selection of sounds. And also as usual I bought this with my own money at full price.

ARP Explorer I SERIAL #1 - Model 2900 Synthesizer - Serviced

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Synthchaser

via this auction

"The ARP Explorer I (Model 2900) was ARP's first non-preset single oscillator synthesizer, pre-dating the Axxe and the Solus. It includes the same 4027-1 Voltage Controlled Oscillator module found in the ARP 2600, and the same 4034 Moog Ladder Filter Voltage Controlled Filter module found in the ARP Pro Soloist. The oscillator is divided down to suboctaves, and shaped into different waveforms (sawtooth, square, pulse, and fuzz) that can be combined simultaneously for an extremely fat sound from a single oscillator synth, particularly in partnership with the ladder filter.

The synth is in good condition, however the silkscreen is very faded as is common for this era ARP synthesizer. This synthesizer was serviced in September 2023 by Synthchaser, and work completed on the synth included:

Synthchaser Precision slider upgrade - All 12 of the old original sliders have been replaced with new, smooth, high precision sliders. The difference in the way these sliders feel and perform compared to the originals is a huge improvement. The original style slider caps are fitted to keep the look original.
Power supply recapped - All tantalum and electrolytic capacitors in the power supply have been replaced, and high quality, high temperature 105 deg C capacitors have been used for the power supply filter capacitors.
Tantalum capacitors replaced - The tantalum capacitors in ARP synths are ticking time bombs. All tantalum capacitors in this synth (except those in the sub-modules) have been replaced with electrolytics to help provide stable operation for years to come.
Keyboard rebuild - New key bushings installed, keys removed and ultrasonically cleaned, bus bars removed and polished, key contacts cleaned and adjusted.
Oscilloscope calibration - Calibrated & tuned using oscilloscope and frequency counter.
1/4" output made High - ARPs of this era had an RCA jack as the high output and the 1/4" jack as the low output. As today RCA jacks are an inconvenience for most, the 1/4" jack has been made to a second high output. This modification is easily reversible by cutting 1 wire."

Vintage Prophet 5 Rev 3.3 Model 1000 Sequential Circuits Synthesizer w/ Midi SN 4598

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

via this auction

Update: note the description appears to be pulled from this other listing on reverb. The pics and serial number are different. As always, adhere to eBay's and Reverb's buyer guidelines to protect yourself.

"The Prophet-5 actually contains five individual synthesizers, termed “voices”. For its producible sound sources, each voice contains two voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), referred to as OSC A and OSC B. OSC A, OSC B, and a white noise source can be mixed into a resonant low-pass voltage controlled filter (VCF). The filter modifies the voice timbre under control of its four-stage envelope generator. The filter may also serve as a sound source. Following each filter, a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) also controlled by a four-stage envelope generator shapes the voice amplitude. Only one voice is depicted on the control panel, because the voice controls “patch” the five voices identically. This makes the voices homophonous— they sound alike— with pitch differences corresponding to (at most) five keys simultaneously-held keys. The term “digital-analog hybrid” is often used to described the Prophet. This means that instead of directly controlling the analog synthesizer voices, the keyboard and most controls are actually devices which input “data” to a microcomputer system which in turn “programs” the voices. The microcomputer has three main functions. First, it solves the of generating five independent sets of voice control voltages and gate signals (which operate the envelope generators) from a single keyboard. Second, its digital memory provides a way to store all of the switch and knob settings which form a program. These programs are retained by the microcomputers memory even when the Prophet is turned off, thats to a small battery with a 10-year life. Third, the microcomputer system keeps the ten voice oscillators in tune."

Super Gemini - Hazel Mills' Split Mode Exploration

video upload by UDO Audio

"More from Hazel and the Super Gemini, this time giving us an exploration of Split Mode.

Within Split Mode, the upper and lower layers are mapped either side of a split point on the keyboard, with the 20 available voices split evenly between the two. The upper layer is assigned to all keys above the designated split point, while the lower layer is assigned to all keys below. For a "Pro hack", hold the SPLIT button, and you can set the split point by pressing a key.

This feature opens up a wealth of opportunities, ultimately giving you the possibity to control two "seperate instruments" on one keyboard!

centrevillage SiO - compact versatile oscillator

video upload by centrevillage

"SiO is an oscillator that can function as LFO/VCO/Envelope Generator/Noise, etc and just 2HP.

The oscillator's waveform can be continuously morphed by the SHAPE parameter, and its oscillation frequency can be controlled in various ways.

In addition to being able to tap tempo with the TAP button and change the frequency with the SPEED slider, external synchronization can be performed with the SYNC input.

The SYNC input can function as both a Clock input and a V/OCT input; it can function as a clock synchronization LFO when a clock pulse is input, and as a VCO when a V/Oct signal is input.

By holding down the TAP button and operating the slider, you can access two parameters: RAND and SKIP.

The RAND parameter is the amount of fractal noise modulation for the SHAPE parameter.

When the RAND parameter is at its maximum, the oscillator output itself becomes the fractal noise waveform.

The SKIP parameter allows you to stop updating the waveform for a specific number of cycles.

At the minimum SKIP parameter, the waveform updates continuously, but as the parameter is increased, the number of periods at which the waveform stops updating increases.

When the SKIP parameter is at its maximum position, the waveform will be updated only when a trigger signal is input to the SYNC input.

This allows it to work like an Envelope Generator.
