Fear-Inducing Modulation on Oberheim OB-8

video upload by Andy Whitmore

"The Classic Oberheim OB-8 - Basic Programming Tutorial

The Oberheim OB-8 is a subtractive analog synthesizer launched by Oberheim in early 1983 and discontinued in 1985. As the fourth product in the OB-series of polyphonic compact synthesizers, the OB-8 was the successor to the OB-Xa. The number of production was about 3,000 units.

The OB-8 features eight-voice polyphony, two-part multi-timbrality, a 61-note processor-controlled piano keyboard, sophisticated programmable LFO and envelope modulation, two-pole and four-pole filters, arpeggiator, external cassette storage, MIDI capability and 120 memory patches, 24 bi-timbral patches, and used the Z80 CPU. The musician's interface also consists of two pages of front panel programmable controls, left panel performance controls and a set of foot pedals and switches."

Overlooked Module #14: Synthrotek CF Crossfader

video upload by Musical Miscellany

"It's been a while since I've posted an Overlooked Modules episode. Today, I'm taking a closer look at the Synthrotek CF (Crossfader). This completely passive 2hp module is one every wiggler should own. It's not only handy to fill small gaps in your system, but it's genuinely useful in your patches. And since it's passive, you don't even need rackspace to use it.

MidiCake Arp embiggens the smallest mono synths

video upload by Richard DeHove

"It's a rare day that I'll abandon the superb sequencers of the DB-01 for an external source. Much is lost when you go external - accents, filter modulation and pitch envelopes just for starters. Yet the MidiCake Arp gives in return: Powerful one-finger pattern-play, gate length modulation, 32nd notes and even patterns with portamento.

So here are five example Arp patterns ranging from somewhat cheesy to somewhat dark. Ideally I would have used lots of other effects, but I wanted to keep everything compact so one DB-01 gets the DM-2w delay, the other gets either the Astronaut reverb or Nemesis delay.

For some reason the Arp locks the DB-01s LFO sync to one rate, so the LFOs are always free-running. Other than that it was very smooth. The DB-01s are of course in "key" mode because that's what's needed to trigger them. A useful byproduct of this is that the DB-01 portamento can now be used in sequences!

The MidiCake Arp is an amazing little machine. Complex, but amazing. After many hours I know I'm just scratching around doing pretty obvious things yet that's still very satisfying. I rather like that its possibilities are so vast you can choose your own way into its abilities. In the five examples I mostly have 'play' mode enabled which means the patterns run as a continuously synced whole. In others 'play' mode is off and I manually trigger things (tracks 4 & 5), which is much more unforgiving, but gives a little more flexability. In any case you can see how simple the basic notes are against the complexity of the result.

As usual I've kept everything simple (ie without drums etc) so you can get a good idea what's going on. And no DAW post-processing of any sort.

The Venerable Moog Memorymoog - Inspiration for the Moog Muse?

video upload by Vintage Synthesizer Solutions

"Please join us while we explore the infamous, but actually quite venerable Moog Memorymoog synthesizer. As is widely recognized, the Memorymoog was developed too late and was rushed to the market. By 1982/83, the era of extremely expensive flagship analog polysynths being ubiquitously adopted by professional musicians and studios was coming to an end. Synths like the Sequential Prophet 5, Oberheim OB-X/Xa, & Roland Jupiter 8 had dominated the market, but new digital technology - both in synthesis and sampling, was quickly gaining a substantial foothold in the music industry. The Memorymoog was notorious for reliability issues right out of the box while innovative instruments like the Yamaha DX7 were cheaper, much more reliable, and had a unique new sound.

In hindsight and considering the analog renaissance we've expereinced of late, one can evaluate the Memorymoog from a different and more forgiving perspective... It sounds absolutely fantastic and offeres an incredibly unique & fat tone relative to competetive products of both its era and modern times. Additionally, once a competent technician has sorted common issues with the power supply/fan, connectors, etc. the instrument can be quite reliable from a functionality and tuning standpoint.

The audio is DIRECT, with a just a touch of OTO Bam reverb added on an aux bus - You are hearing the raw audio as it comes directly from the synthesizer. There is NO EQ, Dynamics, etc. Listen on good headphones or monitors!

Thank you so much for watching! This channel is a passion project. These videos are recorded off the cuff. We are just two hobbyists who share a deep passion for synthesizers."

"One of the rarer string machines, the Orchestrator 2 is the updated version of the much loved Multiman-S / Orchestrator. It has the same lush strings and brass but more parameter control and the addition of a “poly” section which generates sounds that track more as “synth” than string machine. This one is in excellent condition and just got an overhaul from our in-house techs and so is working perfectly."

"The Kawai SX-240 is one of the most underrated analog polysynths of all time. It's secret weapon is the SSM 2044 filter, also used in the Korg PolySix. That said it has a brighter sound than PolySix, particularly on the stunning brass patches. The SX-240 is capable of a diverse range of sounds. It also features an onboard sequencer! This one is fresh from a round of service from our tech and is ready for stage or studio. Some minor cosmetics issues on the wooden panels and some sticker residue but otherwise in very good condition."

Additional Tone Tweakers Listings, also on Reverb

"This is the highest quality DMX with MIDI you'll find.
The unit shown in the photos is the one for sale now. We paid our tech for the 17 hours of highly skilled labor + parts required to make this unit better than the rest. No expense spared. No corners cut. The end result is an item that's way better than others of its type you may find and which is justifiably more expensive. Or you could buy a cheaper one and pay us a lot more to restore it for you to get it up to this ones level... if we're available for outside restoration work.

In addition to necessary repairs, here's what was done to this unit in an effort to increase reliability and keep this unit working perfectly way longer than others out there:

Full cleaning inside and out. Power supply electrolytic capacitors replaced, jumper wires, new regulator with heat sync, IC socket (16p x 2), resoldered molex connector pins. Installed new battery and diode. Replaced molex connector terminals (x40). Removed original slide pots and replaced with new ones for perfect, smooth, crackle free performance. Installed 20p IC socket x4. Cleaned and lubed switch contacts. Installed new rubber feet. Replaced a bunch of ICs (oerformance related, won't change this unit's sound). Replaced voice card molex connectors.

This unit is in beautiful shape and is ready to play and record with, no excuses or BS typical of other vintage gear deals and no, we won't sell it for what unrestored junk (or other selllers supposedly serviced gear that was done as quickly and as cheaply as possible) sells for. You get what you pay for.

PATCH / ROUTE 4 / arps & melodies / sounddesign exploration

video upload by Joranalogue Audio Design

"The 1V normalized routing inputs on ROUTE 4 make a lot of sense when you start using ROUTE 4 to change up an existing sequence, by either precision mixing the 1V/oct pitch cv with ROUTE 4s output or by using an additional V/oct input on your vcos (luckily GENERATE 3 Exp. FM inputs are nearly perfectly calibrated to accept V/oct signals). Using ORBIT 3 as a master control for all the switching on ROUTE 4 makes for a chaotic but controlled course of pitches."
