Explaining the PlayFader CV/MIDI Sequencer

video upload by mylarmelodies

"In this tutorial/demo I’ll explain the unique way the Playfader CV/MIDI sequencer works, showing the basic keystrokes you need to be able to make, erase, transpose, mute and apply temporary effects to sequences. I’ll also keep the shortcuts onscreen so you don’t need to remember them.

I'm using the Dreadbox NYX, Music Thing Workshop and Roland T-8 here. T-8 supplies clock to the PlayFader. PlayFader sends CV/Gate to the two analog synths.

GEN-01 - Generative synth totem

video upload by Love Hultén

"GEN-06, a self-generating installation that combine changes in pattern, melody, tonality and much more to create complex multi-layered sound structures, real-time. Arduino handles logic and outputs MIDI to an OXI Coral synth module. 6 channels / 8 voices (basslines, pads, melodies, arpeggios, percussions, kicks)

The machine is very sparse interaction-wise - A volume knob, some controls for optional ambience(FX Aid XL module) and a reset switch. Parameters such as BPM and scales are randomly picked upon each reset, generating something fresh that slowly evolves over time.

A variety of moving components mimic MIDI activity on different channels, a totem visualizer where mechanics and sound combine."

yoctocore - a midi to cv box

video upload by infinitedigits

"yoctocore is the thing I've needed for years.

there are so many midi to cv boxes out there, but so few of them have 4 pitch/envelope pairs with a wide range of voltage (-5 to +10v). yoctocore has 8 cv outputs, each with a wide cv range, each that can be programmed to be 1) a midi to pitch, or 2) an envelope that triggers on any of the outputs), or 3) a lfo, or 4) a clock, or 5) a sequencer, or 6) a simple a block of code that runs on the beat, that you can define to be whatever you want.

also its entirely open-source (https://github.com/schollz/yoctocore) so in case there is something you want to change, you can."

Simple Major Tom Tetrachords jam

video upload by Martin Doudoroff

"Zero effort quick-and-dirty proof of concept pairing of Major Tom and Tetrachords. Major Tom channels are kick, bass, melody, and chords, respectively. Tetrachords channel one is bass (BIA), channel two is melody (E370 through Natural Gate), and channel four is chords (MIDI to DAW synth)."

Oberheim TEO-5!! Unboxing and Test

Bella approves of the box, and the twist tie that wrapped the power cord."

Minimalism for Modular #5: Hans Otte's Book of Sounds

video upload by Electrum Modular

"An introduction to the ethereal music of Hans Otte, via a modular interpretation of two parts (2 and 7) from his Book of Sounds (1979-82).

Also contains several ideas for generative/aleatory sequencing in a modular system: in particular, decoupling pitch and gate, combining a multi-channel sample player (Disting EX) with a sequencer that has per-step gate outputs (0-Ctrl), and using a series of probabilistic gates (Missed Opportunities) to distribute/alternate pitch variations.

0:00 Introduction
1:41 First patch (Book of Sounds, part 7)
6:28 Second patch (Book of Sounds, part 2)

For those new to Hans Otte’s music, I would recommend his own rendition of The Book of Sounds:

Sunday Jam #60 : Drivin' again - with guitar

video upload by MIDI IN

"I've decided to take an existing piece of music, my Music for an Imaginary Driving Game, which I've published a few times in different forms, most recently for dual SIDs, I'll link to that video, and enhance it with real guitar and realistic drums.

The stop-motion driving clip is thanks to Mike Bird:

Latest version of 'Drivin' SID tune, plus new SwinSID design

video upload by MIDI IN

"I've just received these in the post this morning. I was unable to make edits to Tolaemon's 'nano SwinSID b' design and so I made a new board design using the SwinSID schematic. This is a demo, (apart from the looks, and easier manufacture for me, they're the same as the nano SwinSID b)

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #140: Mega MIDI - Song 3

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the third song with the Mega MIDI by Aidan Lawrence. It's an FM synthesizer based on either the YM2612 yamaha chip (used here and in SEGA Genesis / Megadrive home consoles and various SEGA arcade game systems, including the Mega-Play, System 18, and System 32) or the cleaner sounding YM3438 chip without the crossover distortion in the output. Both sound chips has six channels with four operators per channel.

In contradiction to the Kasser DAFM Synth you can program the sounds only via Midi CC but it can load via SD card opm-file game sounds from the SEGA Genesis / Megadrive games (currently more than 9500 opm-files available). The game music composers did a great job to programming the best out of the 4 OP FM synth. So it's a lot of fun to dive through all the game sounds.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals:
Line 6 DL4 MkII, Pigtronix Echolution² Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb², OTO Boum.
Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase 13. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone."

Roland Jupiter-X with Individaul Synth Model Overlays

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

via this listing

"The updated firmware includes the Jupiter-X model that gives you a one-knob per function layout that lets you take advantage of all the knobs and sliders. Regarding the built-in vintage models, like the Juno-106, included are 5 controller layout templates from SynthOverlays.com (see pics). They look great and map out what you need to play a specific vintage Model (JX-8P, SH-101, Jupiter-8, Juno-106). They‘re pricey and super cool. The overlays take the guesswork out of what-does-what when playing one of the vintage Models. Currently loaded in the two extra slots are vintage keys/electric pianos from Roland’s available sound banks. I just don’t have room to keep this synth. I also have the smaller Jupiter-xm and am hanging onto that one."

EDP Wasp 25-Key Analog Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by いーえるP@TinySymphony

via this listing

"Here we have an EDP (Electronic Dream Plant) WASP synthesizer. Conceived and born in UK (circa 1978). Totally original. Fully working and serviced. Ignore the imitations/remakes. This is the real deal.

Photos shown are PRE-SERVICE. KKGB have ordered a complete new set of knobs. These will be fitted after a thorough service has been done. Suffice to say, that the synth has been checked already and all functions are robust. There are some scratchy pots/swiches at the moment; that is to be expected. They will be dealt with......The WASP has been little used (only one owner from new). The plastic casing is intact. The external 'wall war'" works well. Available to ship world-wide in 5 days.

See attached video [above] to show how good this little gem is, as a twin-oscillator analogue synth. There is sample & hold....noise......glide.....and much more......."

TR909 Have You Discovered its Secret Ingredient?

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Is it just the sounds or something else? What has really made the Roland TR909 a legendary drum machine.

Not this... thats for sure, but maybe it at least adds a little something that tickles your brain more than rock solid MIDI files. Maybe this is why some owners will never let them go and will never be satisfied with anything else?
