Stoel Music Systems Vacuum Tube Distortion Eurorack Module


video upload by

"The Stoel Music Systems Vacuum Tube Distortion provides two stages of vacuum tube distortion/waveshaping with a switch that selects between using one or both gain stages in series. The first stage is always active. A two-position switch adds the second stage in series after the first. The harmonics knob controls the amount of even-order or odd-order harmonics in the first gain stage. The saturation knob controls the gain and the shaping of the waveform. The saturation is also controllable with CV by using the front panel jack and corresponding knob to set the amount of CV applied to the shape parameter. At extreme negative CV, the tube will go into cutoff, making it function as a voltage-controlled gate.

Madonna: "Into the Groove" Recreated using the same gear!!


video upload by Neon Nights: 1980s Music Production

"Hey guys!
This video and recreation of Madonna 1985 hit 'Into the Groove' has been a labor of love.

After obtaining the original Multitrack master (I cannot share). I was able to dive in and recreate each sound, and arrangement using the same synths as the original song. With the exception of a MKS 80, ( BASS) TR-727 (I used samples), and an Emulator II (for the PIANO solo).

It took over a week to map out, arrange, record, and mix. It was a ton of fun learning how the song was made. It was recorded with a UAD Apollo 16 , and Luna.

I hope you enjoy ! Comment please!

Roland Introduces GALAXIAS Super Instrument


video upload by RolandChannel



Press release follows.

Fifty Years of Legendary Roland Synths and Drum Machines and Thousands of Iconic Sounds in One Powerful Super Instrument, Available Exclusively on Roland Cloud

Los Angeles, CA, Nov. 14, 2023 — Roland introduces GALAXIAS, a powerful new software-based musical instrument available exclusively on Roland Cloud. Roland has been a pioneer in music technology for over half a century, delivering a continuous stream of influential instruments and effects that have fueled countless hits, defined genres, and driven cultural trends. With GALAXIAS, musicians and producers can explore and experience them all in one creative environment.

GALAXIAS runs as a standalone application on macOS and Windows. It will also be available in VST3 and AU plug-in formats for DAW music production soon after the initial release. Within GALAXIAS, users can work with any instrument on Roland Cloud and instantly access a vast searchable library with over 20,000 ready-to-play sounds. From historic icons such as the JUPITER-8, TR-808, and D-50 to modern instruments like ZENOLOGY and SYSTEM-8, GALAXIAS harnesses Roland's evolving sonic legacy into a single “Super Instrument” with infinite creative possibilities.

GALAXIAS provides the ability to layer up to four instruments and create massive sonic superclusters called Scenes. Every layer has its own key range, transpose, and MIDI input settings, plus a dedicated arpeggiator. Convenient learn and drag functionality makes it fast and easy to build intricate sounds that are deeply engaging and demand attention. Ultra-powerful macro controls offer a new level of expression with simultaneous operation of up to 128 parameters via internal LFOs or an external MIDI controller. Scenes can be organized in Setlists for live performances, complete with gapless transitions for a seamless stage experience.

In addition to the formidable effects within each individual instrument, GALAXIAS provides two insert effects per layer and two global send effects. A growing collection of authentic Roland and BOSS effects are on hand, and it’s possible to route layers to various external destinations for further processing.

The inspiring GALAXIAS interface has been carefully forged for rapid creativity and instant satisfaction. Everything is logically organized, making it simple to go deep and quickly translate ideas into great-sounding tracks. Users can delve into a single instrument layer, tweak the complete set of parameters, and get the experience of using the original hardware with Roland’s classic instrument plug-ins. With the full-screen Immersive View, the focus can be toggled between the entire Scene and an individual instrument or effect using a single click or key command.

Included with Roland Cloud Ultimate membership, GALAXIAS is a rapidly evolving platform instrument that will continue to improve with new sounds and capabilities added regularly. A 30-day free Ultimate trial provides access to GALAXIAS and everything Roland Cloud offers, including software versions of vintage Roland instruments, ZENOLOGY, Sound Packs, Wave Expansions, Zenbeats, and much more.

Availability & Pricing
Roland GALAXIAS is available now in the U.S. exclusively with the Roland Cloud Ultimate membership, which is $199 annually or $19.99 monthly.

EPIC SYNTHESIZER MADE IN THE USSR. FORMANTA EMS-01


video upload by Alexander Obukhov

"The combined electro-musical instrument "FORMANTA EMS-01" integrates two instruments: a polyphonic organ and a monophonic synthesizer. It is designed for performing musical compositions of any genre and obtaining various sound effects for film scoring, theatrical performances, and studio recordings.

The organ features a five-octave keyboard, six fixed sound timbres, frequency vibrato with adjustable delay, decay adjustment, and a stereo phaser (common for both the organ and the synthesizer). The vibrato delay scheme only starts with each subsequent keypress after releasing the previously pressed keys. In "legato" play, the vibrato delay scheme does not activate.

The synthesizer includes:

A three-octave keyboard.
A modulator with modulating voltage supplied to the frequency modulator (FM), width modulator (WM), filter, and amplitude modulator (amplifier).
Generator 1, generator 2 – wide-range generators with various waveform oscillations.
Mixer for summing signals from generator 1, generator 2, noise generator, external source, and ring modulator.
Filter for dynamically and statically changing the spectrum of the summed signal from the mixer output.
Amplifier to impart characteristics typical of various signal envelopes to the sound.
Clear separation of the synthesizer panel into the listed modules, their mutual arrangement, facilitate orientation when creating different timbres.

Additionally, the synthesizer can control another identical synthesizer. To achieve this, connect the control output connector of the controlling synthesizer to the control input connector of the controlled synthesizer using a connecting cable (according to the electrical schematic diagram of CONTROL INPUT and CONTROL OUTPUT connectors, see Appendix 3). Press the CONTROL - button on the controlled synthesizer (the LED should light up). In this case, the control panel of the controlled synthesizer is disconnected from its keyboard and connected to the keyboard of the controlling synthesizer. Thus, one musician has at their disposal two identical control panels with one keyboard, allowing for two fully parallel synthesis channels, greatly expanding the possibilities for creating sounds.

The instrument provides the option to connect stereo headphones. When adjusting the instrument's volume with the foot pedal from maximum to zero, the signal to the headphones remains unchanged on all instrument outputs, allowing for preliminary control of the timbre through headphones before sending the signal to power amplifiers. When the PHASER is activated in the synthesizer or organ channel on the STEREO L and STEREO R jacks, a stereo signal can be obtained. When the PHASER is disabled in both channels, the MONO mode will be implemented.

Technical specifications include power supply from an AC voltage of 220 ± 10 V, frequency of 50 Hz, power consumption not exceeding 75 V A, and operational capability within specified temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure conditions. The relative frequency drift over 4 hours of continuous operation is no more than +0.5%. The organ keyboard spans 5 octaves, and its sound range goes from F sharp (43.65 Hz) in the control octave to E in the third octave (1318 Hz). The synthesizer keyboard spans 3 octaves, and its sound range spans 9 octaves. The tuning range for both the organ and synthesizer is +6% (+0.5 tones), with a smooth detuning range of generator 2 relative to generator 1 of at least 1 octave. The frequency cutoff of the filter can be tuned in the range of 100 to 1500 Hz. The dynamic range is not less than 55 dB, and the weight does not exceed 40 kg. Engineer: Alexander Reunov, Designer: Andrey Petukhov, Produced by: KRYZ 'Formanta.'"

11/13/23 Korg Volca Sample (originally recorded on 8/15/23) + Metasonix TM-5 & TM-7 + Peavey DDL-3


video upload by Cfpp0

"Here’s some music to do the dishes to, or peel potatoes. On 8/15/23 I had the chance to try a Korg Volca Sample and made a single video recording. In this 11/13/23 video, that 8/15/23 video recording is playing back on an Apple Air MYFT2LL/A iPad, with a dongle and Y-cable sending one audio channel to the Metasonix TM-7 and the other into the Peavey DDL-3 into the Metasonix TM-5. Some 01: small stage reverb is applied to the TM-7 signal in the Mackie Mix12FX, where it’s panned center. The TM-5 signal gets a low cut and is panned hard left, dry, no reverb send. The TM-5 Activate BN6 tube switch and the TM-7 Teabag switch both feature. I got lucky twice and flipped the teabag switch when the bass drum cuts out in the original recording."

"The creator of eurorack, Dieter Doepfer, has a new full system to offer: the Basic System 3.
This new system is fully analog, and a nice mix between classic subtractive synthesis building blocks, that we are going to check out today, and more 'West Coast' oriented modules (to be explored in future videos).
As we'll see we can already go quite far just staying into subsctractive land. Let's dive in! Have fun!"
