Sanctuary Synthesizer by Moog w/ Alternate Badge



Some pics sent in via Thesis Audio Service who had the following to say about it:

"Here at thesis Audio Service we are restoring a Memorymoog in my shop for a customer in Chicago, but I also have another in from Colorado that is NOT a Memorymoog, it's a SANCTUARY, but it's the EXACT SAME SYNTH!

Back in the late 1980's, Moog Music thought it would increase sales to churches if they put the Sanctuary badge on the Memorymoogs. They only produced 100 of these making them a very rare moment in Moog history and one of the greatest poly synths of all time."

The Sanctuary has been featured on the site before, but notice the badge on the right above the keys is diffrent on this one. The others appear to be missing the "by Moog" text and "Sanctuary Synthesizer" is on one line while it's on two on this one.

Modular meets Oberheim | TEO-5, MCO MKII, Zagrzeb, Bitbox Micro, Sealegs


video upload by Ondřej Píša

"When I went to Superbooth 2024 in Berlin and tried TEO-5 by #oberheim there, I immediately knew that this is the synth I wish to have and wish to combine with my modular system. This is the very first try I played both together.

I am not a keyboard player, no musical background, just learning on my own and enjoying the sound so please bare with me :). Also this is the very first try to put both instruments together.

TEO-5 setup: this is my own patch I set when I was chasing for Yamaha CS-80 sound. It is not quite like that. I love this patch anyway. Both oscillators are combinations of square and sawtooth waves, bit of filter detuning, voice spread panning. Also it is runs through #meris Mercury X pedal for larger reverb (preset #1 Two Worlds)

Modular setup:
Drums are samples on #1010music Bitbox Micro, triggered by #intellijeldesigns Steppy
Voice: ALM Busy Circuits MCO MKII (Digiwave engine), Wave B modulated by Pam's Pro Workout (sine wave, heavily attenuated). It is run through #xaocdevices Zagrzeb LPF into #intellijeldesigns Sealegs for delay + reverb. It is sequenced by #xaocdevices Moskwa II with probability for step play, ratcheting and also I use #intellijeldesigns Planar 2 into #intellijeldesigns Triplatt for attenuation into #intellijeldesigns Scales into #xaocdevices Ostankino's Transpose occasionally to transpose the sequence."

Buchla, Make Noise, & A History of Spectral Animation in Synthesizers


video upload by Sarah Belle Reid

"A historical and technical deep dive into the synthesizer designs and ideas that influenced the development of the Make Noise x Soundhack Spectraphon, featuring excerpts from an interview with Tom Erbe.

Spectraphon is an oscillator for Eurorack modular systems that allows you to analyze and resynthesize sonic characteristics of OTHER sounds, using those characteristics to create unique waveforms and timbres…with the ability to continuously transform them into something new. It’s Erbe’s unique take on the concept of a harmonic oscillator—inspired by some of instrument designer Donald Buchla’s work from the 1970s and 1980s.

Erbe and Make Noise specifically name three Buchla instruments as important inspirations: the Model 259 Programmable Complex Waveform Generator, the Model 296 Programmable Spectral Processor, and the Touché, a hybrid keyboard instrument developed in collaboration between Don Buchla and David Rosenboom.

This video unpacks each of these instruments in turn, examining how their innovative approaches to timbre control and spectral manipulation influenced Spectraphon’s design.

Special thanks to Tom Erbe for sharing his insights on Spectraphon’s development and its relationship to these historic Buchla instruments, and to the Buchla Archives for providing images.

Dtronics DT-DX Desktop Synth Now on Kickstarter


video upload by Dtronics

"Eight DX7-compatible FM-synthesizers in a box."





You might rememer the MiniDexed DT DX from previous posts. You'll find a few new demos above.

Details and pics via Kickstarter follow.

The MiniDexed FM synthesizer similar to 8x DX7 (TX816/TX802)

"Dtronics DT-DX Dtronics, Dutch maker of high quality synthesizer controllers such as the popular DT-RDX for the Yamaha Reface DX and other MI-related technology announces the DT-DX Kickstarter project.

At the end of last year we came across a fantastic project on Github, MiniDexed.

We immediately fell in love, imagine 8 x a DX7 in mini format.

This compact powerful hardware unit is based upon the Github project MiniDexed and about to provide you with legendary FM sounds in a purpose designed instrument at an unbelievable small footprint and affordable price.

This beautiful project just needs to be made more widely accessible to everyone who is not handy enough to put it together themselves.

So we desided to contacted the developer to see if we could work together to create a ready to use Dtronics DT-DX. The response was very positive, and so the DT-DX project started in colobaration with PROBONOPD (MINIDEXED).

Eight DX7-compatible FM-synthesizers in a box

The DT-DX relies on a Raspberry Pi 2 Zero hardware which runs a version of the famed software-synthesizer Dexed which closely emulates the legendary Yamaha DX7. It makes use of MiniDexed which ports Dexed to run on a bare Raspberry Pi without the need for a Linux kernel or operating system.

When we at Dtronics came across MiniDexed, we immediately came into contact, with Probonopd who manages the MiniDexed project. The DT-DX is the result of this collaboration.

We went ahead to build a prototype and decided to create a dedicated sturdy hardware in a metal housing to be used as a professional musical instrument on stage, in the studio and at home. We also took advantage of a specifically designed printed circuit board to make optimal use of the functions being offered by MiniDexed.

Next, we added a back-lit display in tasty orange, a push-encoder to be able to access sounds and parameter directly from the unit, USB- and MIDI-connectors, an SD-card reader for sound import/export and finally a stereo output using a high quality converter with 122 dB dynamic range. In short: DT-DX is ready to be used with any DAW and MIDI-keyboard and controller.
The Raspberry Pi 2 Zero which is used in the DT-DX is capable of running eight polyphonic tone generators simultaneously which will allow for splits, layers and multi-timbral use as being found in the Yamaha TX802 and TX816. And just like like Dexed, the DT-DX is compatible to any DX7/TX7 SysEx data and therefore also with our own massive DT-7 controller.

About Digital Suburban Dexed
Dexed is a multi-platform and multi-format software-synthesizer which is closely modeled on the Yamaha DX7 to which it is fully compatible through system exclusive MIDI data. It doesn't stop here since Dexed also offers a few additions to the sound engine such as the availability of multiple waveforms as being found in the TX81Z. Dexed is licensed on the GPL v3. It runs as a plug-in on any relevant computer platform and DAW and offers a generous graphical user to edit its 144 parameters. This way, Dexed may not serve only serve as a fantastic sounding instrument but also as an editor to all compatible Yamaha FM-synthesizers. And certainly, it is also great front-end to create and fine-tune your personal sounds which can then be used on the DT-DX.

About Probonopd MiniDexed
MiniDexed ports the FM-synthesizer Dexed to a bare Raspberry Pi. On a Raspberry Pi 2 and larger, it can run eight polyphonic instances of the synthesizer allowing to also recreate the sounds of the Yamaha TX802 and the mighty TX816. Additionally, each instance can be detuned and shifted in the stereo panorama to create wide and complex sounds. On top, MiniDexed adds compressor and reverb effects."

L-Fusion Analog Kicks Eurorack module demo


video upload by LFusion Electronics

"Demo video showcasing L-Fusion Modular Analog Kicks module with walkthrough through all the parameters, also tips how to get most of it using filtering and EQ. For best listening experience use studio headphones/speakers that can handle the low end.

Module is available on Reverb.

808 kick generates softer more boomy kick sound while 909 outputs more aggressive punchy kick often used for making techno. Built using modern components – Audio grade Burr-Brown OpAmps, low noise transistors as well as quality capacitors including legendary WIMA German ones where larger values are needed - module provides two clean analog sound outputs with dynamic range of over 90dB.

808 section outputs classic boomy kick based on T-Shape resonator, often used in Electro/Acid tracks. It has decay, pitch and tone knobs. The circuit has been modified for longer maximum decay.

909 kick is more complex, it generates more aggressive punchy kick sound often used making techno, its core is based on integrated triangle shape oscillator. This kick drum can be controlled with original attack, decay, tune, tune decay potentiometers. Original 909 circuit has been improved for longer maximum decay, we have also integrated extra potentiometers for soft clipping distortion and fast decaying attack noise control."

"E-Mu Systems SP-12 Sampling Percussion drum machine in excellent condition. Unit has the turbo upgrade. Unit professionally serviced in house. Includes IEC cable.

Developed as a successor to the Drumulator, SP-12 was initially advertised as “Drumulator II” by E-mu Systems at the NAMM Winter Music & Sound Market and Musikmesse Frankfurt in February of 1985 before being launched officially at that summer’s NAMM International Music & Sound Expo. “SP” is an initialism for “Sampling Percussion,” and 12 is a reference to its 12-bit linear data format.

E-mu made a “Turbo” upgrade available which increased the total memory for user samples to 5 seconds. SP-1200, featuring an integrated disk drive for storage and more RAM allowing for more total user sampling time in place of the preset ROM drum sounds, replaced SP-12 in E-mu’s product line in August 1987."

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"Here's a long video to end 2024 on a high note! 😁 If you want to skip the 'build from scratch', you can jump to 2:00 😉

3 instruments were used for this track:
The Dreadbox Nymphes for the CHORDS and LEAD
The Roland S-1 for the BASS
The Arturia Drumbrute Impact (DBI) for the DRUMS
With everything sequenced by the Arturia Keystep Pro (KSP).

1- The video starts with me recording in STEP mode 3 CHORDS, and setting the pattern's length to 3 steps (Track 3 of the KSP).
2- I then record 2 notes for a 3-step pattern for the BASS (Track 2 of the KSP).
3- I quickly switch to the DRUM pattern recording (Track 1 of the KSP), where I used some of the nice features of the KSP's sequencer (Time Shift, Randomness)
4- For the live performance, it's mainly me transposing in real-time on the KSP and playing with the sound parameters of the 3 instruments (Cutoff, Decay, Reverb etc.).

Exploring the Concept of an Experimental Generator


video upload by Igor Vasiliev

"Exploring the Concept of an Experimental Generator Based on Simplex Noise for Granular Synthesis
~
I'm testing the idea of an experimental generator based on simplex noise, which is then used in a granular synthesis algorithm. This design allows for the creation of a vast array of diverse waveforms rich in harmonics with a rich low-frequency spectrum. The generator is controlled by just a few simple parameters. Despite its somewhat chaotic and atonal nature, it is highly suitable for generating industrial sound structures, ominous, foreboding noise and backgrounds.
~
In this demo, sound from an experimental generator is processed by Soundsaw and Stellarvox apps to create a deep, dark, slightly creepy background. When the generator parameters are altered, the waveform undergoes significant changes, resulting in a highly diverse original sound. However, Saundsaw transforms it into a very dense texture, oversaturated with distortions and harmonics, which in Stellarvox is diffused into an inverted space with minimal presence of the original sound.
