Roland Juno Chorus eurorack comparison

video upload by John Schussler

"I'm a big chorus fan, and am continually surprised there aren't more of them as stand alone modules in Eurorack. The most famous chorus was originally shipped in the Roland Juno line (6, 60, and 106), and is what's replicated in these two modules I'm looking at today.

The Feedback Chorus 106 has been out for a while, and is now discontinued because they can no longer get some of the NOS (new old stock) parts they use.

The SoundForce uChorus is brand new, and has substituted an STM and some other new bits to make up for the MN3101 driver IC that's no longer available.

Both are following the original circuit behavior as closely as possible.

I compare them here to see if one is better than the other.
Spoiler: I can't hear the difference. Can you? Let me know in the comments.

The G-Storm electro Feedback Chorus made it's first appearance here in 2019, and the SoundForce uChorus in May, 2023 this year.

YM2413 SYNTH + ROLAND XP50 - Testing sounds from the homemade OPLL mini FM synthesizer.

video upload by MusicHobby

"YM2413 SYNTH - Testing sounds from the homemade OPLL mini FM synthesizer. Roland XP50 keyboard used as controller, to send MIDI notes, program and control changes to the YM2413 module and the audio goes to the audio interface.

This is my project of a YM2413 FM Synth MIDI Module, already assbembled in a purple printed circuit board.

The YM2413 chip (known as OPLL), which is 2 operator FM musical synthesizer that uses FM synthesis (frequency modulation) to generate timbres. In this YM2413 based musical instrument I am using the Arduino Nano to control the YM's internal registers.

The YM2413 was used in:
-Yamaha PSS-170 and PSS-270 keyboards in 1986;
-Yamaha SHS-10 shoulder keyboard in 1987, and the Yamaha PSS-140 and Yamaha SHS-200 in 1988;
-Yamaha PSR-6 keyboard in 1988;
-Sega Master System, MSX, Atari Games Rampart arcade game;

I purchased the YM2413 chip on Aliexpress. I designed the board then sent the gerber to JLCPCB to be manufacured. Application Manual: https://www.smspower.org/maxim/Docume...

The intitial schematic of this board is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3n0dgba6pr6..."

5 Jams with Yester Versio stereo three-tap delay from Noise Engineering

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Check out these 5 Jams using the Yester Versio stereo three-tap delay on the Versio platform from Noise Engineering.

0:05 Jam 1
0:43 Jam 2
1:14 Jam 3
2:04 Jam 4
3:04 Jam 5

If you already own any of our Versio modules, you can swap to this firmware for free through the Customer Portal: http://bit.ly/3JvmC8N

More info on Yester Versio and the Versio platform: https://bit.ly/3kMQpjK
Watch the full Yester Versio demo video: https://youtu.be/dwOmdgrLmq0

Jam 1: In this patch, you're hearing synced delays with the Dotted switch dividing the delay times. We're also changing the pitches of the echoes and creating clean harmonies with the Chorus knob.

Jam 2: Yester is three-tap delaying the Manis Iteritas Alia, with its Chorus knob being CV controlled by the Mimetic Digitalis sequencer. Adjusting the MIA's Envelope knob creates long breaths of Manis or tight stabs, which really bring out the Yester's delays.

Jam 3: It's true that the new Yester Versio module is a simple delay, but it can also make some complex patterns, too. Here we're taking out the original signal entirely, adding CV to vary the timing of the delays, switching to Octave mode for some octave harmonies, then adding in that DJ-style filter and applying some wavefolding.

Jam 4: This is the jam from the demo video here: https://youtu.be/dwOmdgrLmq0
Manis is running through Yester's delays with Virt Iter Legio with the high and slow melodic drone. We turn fire up the Chorus knob for some great effects when turning all the way left or all the way right. Then we end it with some DOOOOOOMMMMM by turning the Fold knob all the way up.

Jam 5: All you're hearing in this patch is the BIA into the new Yester Versio three-tap delay. Blend, Chorus, Tone, and Regen are all getting CV envelopes, and turning the Fold knob gives some extra wavefolding at the end. Viol Ruina gives that resonant filtering in the melody."

"This unit contains 6 TF1 modules. The serial number badge says TX216. Each of these modules contains the synth engine from the original vintage Yamaha DX7.

NOTE: the rightmost module has an intermittent problem that causes the pitch to be randomly modulated. Our tech says this is due to a defective custom Yamaha IC chip that we don't have a source for, so the rightmost module is presently glitchy - sometimes it works fine, but sometimes the pitch goes crazy.

The TF1 modules each had the following preventative work done to them to make this TX rack functionally better than others you may find (apart from the module mentioned above): Battery replaced. Reloaded factory patches to all modules (they each contain the same single set of 32 sounds). All electrolytic capacitors replaced. Properly tested post-servicing and working and sounding great!"

"This unit has been meticulously refurbished and is working like new again and better than the rest.

In additional to sorting out any problems, we paid our tech to make this unit better than others on the market, a process that took a whopping 30 hours of skilled vintage synth tech time, plus parts costs.

Fully disassembled and cleaned inside and out
Replaced electrolytic capacitors in power supply
Resoldered regulators
Replaced all RAM (6166 x 10)
Installed new battery
Reloaded sounds off cartridge to first 80 kit banks
Cleaned all switch contacts
Replaced many IC sockets
There was a broken XLR connector, so we had to painstakingly remove the original rivets to remove the circuit board, replace the connector, and then Instal new rivets for 13 female XLR connectors - a time consuming PITA
Cleaned and lubed all pots

This unit is intentionally priced at what we believe to be top market value because of the big investment of time, love and money to make it better than others you may find.

"80s Vintage Serge Modular Panel with Rare Modules For Sale

This panel contains the following modules:

Ring Modulator
Wilson Analog Delay
Dual Phaser
Wave Multiplier
Gentle Electric Pitch & Envelope Follower

We did the following servicing to this panel:

Installed ground wire. Fixed an original assembly error that went unnoticed for decades (preamp wiring was wrong). We cleaned all pots and tested all functions and everything's crackle-free and appears to work as it should. The WAD in2 pot is a bit crooked but works fine. A few of the pots on this and the other panel we just put up for sale may physically move a little beyond their original range at zero or max or may not feel 100% smooth like a new pot. This is typical of these vintage pots. They do however work perfectly fine.

Power supply not included."

"It's an 8 voice, single oscillator DCO (with sub-oscillator) synth that is roughly like a Juno in its basic sound, only a bit darker and lusher thanks to the excellent SSM-2044 filter. Programming is fast and simple: you select the parameter via its button (every parameter has a button; no menu diving), then use the dial to select the value. Despite its simple architecture, there are a number of features on board here: portamento and glissando, chord memory, dual and mono modes with stacked voices, an ensemble effect that is great for strings, etc.

This synth is fully functional and sounding great. It is extremely clean aside from some wear on the right wood panel. One screw is missing from the bottom. All in all, a nice example of a rare, under the radar synth."

Schlappi Engineering THREE BODY / extensive playthrough / extremely versatile complex vco

video upload by BRiES

"In this video about Schlappi Engineering's THREE BODY I try to explain and demonstrate the multitude of functions, modulation options, inputs and outputs. There's sound examples scattered throughout the video to break up the monotony of me talking all the time.

THREE BODY is so very versatile and due to it's precise logic based core functionality it's very straightforward to dial in precise FM or PM tones that are usually quite impossible to achieve with regular analog vcos. If you want the dirt of waves bulking and crashing into each other (regular 'free' fm and pm), it's just a flick of a switch and you're there.

Because it's a very long video please have a look at the chapter markers at the bottom of this description box. Those should make it easier for modern crowds to navigate the video. You can of course go retro and just sit back and enjoy the show, but you might have to pause the video halfway to fetch drinks and icecream (and possibly for a bathroom break).

I hope you enjoy this extensive playthrough."

House 90 🎹 (Hapax sequencer // JD08 // 0Coast + Apocalypse + H9 // Nymphes + Julianna + Pill // S1)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"The Squarp Hapax is probably one of the most powerful hardware sequencer I've used 🤩 In this video it's at the heart of the setup, sequencing the Roland JD-08 (synth & piano chords), the Make Noise 0-Coast (tonal kick) and the Dreadbox Nymphes (pulsing bass). The Roland S-1 is being played in real-time on the bridge part.

I used a lot of features of the Hapax in this video:
- The Euclid and Swing midi effects for the synth and piano chords
- The conditional trigs to add fills etc., chance (probability for some notes to play or not) and roll
- CC automation, used to modulate the cutoff, noise oscillator on the bassline played by the Nymphes
- CV modulation on the 0-Coast (you can see the signals being sent by the red/green connectors at the back of the Hapax)
- The transpose within scale feature, where with one track (track 16), you can transpose in real time - or record the transpositions (I used both here) - all the patterns playing on the other tracks.

* Hardware used *

// SYNTH & PIANO CHORDS:
- Roland JD-08 (digital 128-voice, bi-timbral synth)

// TONAL KICK:
- Make Noise 0-Coast + Death by Audio Apocalypse (fuzz pedal) + Eventide H9 Max (bandpass delay)

// BASS:
- Dreadbox Nymphes (6-voice analog synth) + Walrus Audio Julianna (analog chorus/vibrato) + Pill (analog ducking pedal)

// LEAD:
- Roland S-1 (4-voice digital synth, inspired by the famous mono synth SH-101)

// SEQUENCER:
- Squarp Hapax (dual-project sequencer, 16 tracks per project, 8 patterns per track, 8 effects per track, algorithmic tools, MIDI, CV, etc.)"
