Create an industrial drone synth on the LXR-02

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Is it an industrial drone synth? Maybe it's an interactive FM sequencer? It's certainly droney with FM sweeps and industrial grind and that's just one variant. Here I create a single synth voice which is then fed with synced LFO modulation. What's most important here is the technique rather than the specific result. My version has a 16-step melodic pattern, but with a few tweaks you could create a retriggering playable voice, or a much slower evolving noisescape using the random LFO waveform. I'm also just using the first voice, but the snare, clap and metal engines have their own flavors and modulatable parameters as well. I was going to look into them as well as quickly creating different melodic "starter" sequences but this was already getting a bit long for something a bit niche. Let me know if you want to go there :D

Finally, from the programming you'll see how easily the LXR performs as a synth. It certainly wasn't my intention to concentrate on the "LXR as a synth" idea, but synthy things start to slip out very easily once you're in the mode.

"Everything Is A Balance" - Live Dub Techno

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"I usually take more than a day to make a jam because I set up different gear each time.
Today, I wanted to challenge myself to do it all in one day!
I cheated a bit though, because I already had a cool vocal sample ready to go.
(The other night, I sampled Jeff Bridges from the movie, The Giver".)
I started at 6am this morning, and this is the FIRST TAKE - recorded by 12noon!
Not Too Shabby, Old Man!

11/15/23 Roland Jupiter 6 + Peavey DDL-3 + Chase Bliss CXM 1978 (arpeggio ranges)

video upload by Cfpp0

"Ding ding dong, dong dong ding, dingy dingy ding. Four ranges of an arpeggio, with delay from the Peavey DDL-3 and a wash of pre-delay reverb from the CXM 1978. The CXM returns to two faders on the Mackie Onyx 1604, and they are ridden. Also the settings on the CXM 1978 are gradually changed a few times."

Moog Memorymoog Plus Meticulously Refurbished by Professionals

video upload by tonetweakers

"This Moog Memorymoog Plus is now for sale as restoration is complete and OMG this thing sounds amazing. I dont think there’s a fatter sounding vsynth out there. Unlike most examples, this one’s tuning is great. And once you fine tune that oscillator or two or 3, its instantly obese! Not in a horrible unpredictable way like many others out there, but in a truly magical way. Get one now before they’re a lot more $$$. Gloves by @jaywires (who you should follow)."

Silhouette eins image-to-sound examples (no talking)

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"In the comments of the big video on Silhouette eins [posted here] you expressed your need for more practical demos to understand how this synth works. So here they are:

00:00 waveshaping by using actual images of waves (and slowly morphing them within a quicktime movie)
01:00 changing sound texture with the camera and lightbox
01:53 animating a movie with a sine wave LFO
03:11 "sharpening" sound by reducing scan field height
04:43 marble in a glass, showing off how sound follows the movement of the marble!

I hope these videos help your understanding of how this machine works.

Arp Omni 2 with external ensemble FX (Wersivoice)

video upload by ohm_studi_ohm

"if you've watched some of my videos you know I love string synth and string ensemble FX, I collect the former and build the latter.
I wanted to test how an Arp Omni would sound through a Wersivoice unit.
To do so I used the synth section of the Omni and plugged it to the Wersivoice, since the waveshape of the synth and string section of the Omni are basically the same.
In the first part I A/B the 2 chorus sounds by using a foot switch. It's quite obvious which is what so you'll figure out. As you'll probalbly find out the Omni built-in chorus sounds mellower than the Wersi, which is brighter and harsher. Not better or worse, just a different taste. It's worthy to note the Omni 2 chorus is build around Reticon SAD512 BBD chipsets (so is the Moog Opus 3 btw) and this Wersivoice is build around Panasonic MN3004 (the same used in Roland Jupiter 4 / VP330). Early Wersivoice units (FM76s and WV3 / WV7 pcb) are build around philips TDA1022 and sound mellower. I'll make a demo with the Arp and one of those at some point.

Then in the second part this is when it gets really interesting... Since we use the synth section of the Omni we have access to a full ADSR enveloppe and a resonant filter with control over it by enveloppe, LFO and external pedal.
And this allow for a much wider sound palette.
Thanks to the enveloppe shaping the VCA you can get some string articulations that are not possible in the string section since it has a ASR enveloppe (meaning you can control Attack and Release but there is no Decay and Sustain is always maxed). Great for swell, staccatos, stabs etc
It's also worth mentionning that the release of the ADST (synth) enveloppe is tied to the string section release, this one being the "master" or final release. If you want a long release on the ADSR you have to bring the String release up. This is not an issue, it is the way it is designed and that's one of the drawback of paraphonic design.
And then comes the resonant filter... with it you can shape the tone of the sound to almost choiry / vocaly ones. And you can bring this more lively by using the LFO or an external pedal to open the filter like I did at some point.
And of course you can always run the string section through the Wersivoice, which I did in the last part. And that, when the builtin Omni's chorus is set to phaser mode gives a very thick (sick ?) sound.
Hope you like the video.

Univox SR-55 Drum Machine SN 700504

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

via this auction

"The Univox SR-55 Super Rhythmer aka Korg Mini-Pops 3 is a fully analog drum machine featuring 20 different presets rhythms to choose from with 15 different drum voices total.

Volume, Tone, and Tempo are all adjustable and the different rhythms are arranged in 2 layers that you toggle between using the switches directly beneath the beat buttons.

The rhythm patterns are standard for the era but it does have a unique section for combining 6 types of kick & snare and 6 hi-hat patterns for the Fox Trot and Swing Rhythms (making 72 possible combinations!) and like most other machines of this type, the patterns can be combined by selecting multiple rhythms.

Also has Bass-Snare balance and Brush-Cymbal balance.
These machines were very popular in the 70's and the only competition was the Gibson Maestro MRQ-1!

The SR-55 is a very rare rhythm machine made by Keio Electronics of Japan as Korg Mini-Pops 3, marketed in the USA by UNIVOX (Shin-ei).

It plays great vintage beats (especially Latin rhythms), great for blues, reggae and rock.
SR-55 was used by Kraftwerk early on.


What's cool about this box is you can 'trick' it to vary a preset beat by depressing 2 of the style buttons together, some might latch and you'll have a hybrid pattern."

"This vintage synth is in mint condition from what I can tell! All keys work well and the effects seem to also. There’s some noise but I know that is to be expected of these vintages synths.

It is speculated that only 100 of these were made, and that they were made by the legendary Bob Moog Himself."

"This is one of the greatest analog poly-synths of all time. 2 Oscillators, each with sub-oscillator provides a ton of thud and weight. The filters (Moog and Oberheim) are also faithful to their original namesake. If you cannot get a Moog One, this is the next best thing at half the price.

All 16 voices tune and track without issue throughout several days of testing

The LCD screen is nice and bright and contrasty, even all the way through, with no dead pixels

All knobs are free from jumpy-ness that these go through and have been cleaned and lubricated

It has been loaded with Factory presets and User banks

It has 1.40.12 the last firmware update before beta. This .13b firmware can be provided if needed.

Condition is near-mint, only due to a slight crack in face panel around all 4 corners of the screen, but is barely visible."

RECODRUM SPRING & TUBE - SOME SOUNDS

video upload by Arthur Joly

"The Recodrum is the ultimate model that is finally here to stay. The model I always dreamed of. An analog drum machine, hand-welded with the toughest components, woodwork, panels and knobs. All this combined with a sequencer capable of storing beats and executing them in live performances. With the addition of midi and clocks in and out, the new Recodrum is also a highly capable tool to integrate with new and old music production equipment."
