Teensy Audio Library on Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W

video upload by Ghost In Translation

"Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W is capable of running Teensy's Audio Library after some minor modifications.

Here I'm sending MIDI over USB to Pico which is running a 16 voices polyphonic synth sketch. The audio is then sent by I2S to a DAC (the same audio expander from my Motherboard).

There is some light cracking that is coming from the I2S library that I still need to take a look at, otherwise that chip is very capable."

KORG President and Representative Director, Seiki Kato Has Passed Away

via KORG

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our President and Representative Director, Seiki Kato, who passed away peacefully at 8:00 PM on February 21, 2025, at the age of 67, following an illness.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for the kindness and support he received during his lifetime and respectfully share this news with you.

For many years, Mr. Kato dedicated himself to the growth and success of our company, guiding us with exceptional leadership and a warm, compassionate spirit.

Born in Tokyo on March 28, 1957, he was the eldest son of Tsutomu Kato, the founder of Korg. After graduating from Tokai University’s Department of Marine Science and Aquaculture, he joined Keio Giken Kogyo Co., Ltd. (now Korg Inc.) in 1980.

Early in his career, he worked in domestic sales, handling Korg products. By 1985, he became Head of Product Planning, playing a pivotal role in the development of innovative instruments such as the M1, a groundbreaking music workstation.

In 1988, he moved to KORG USA Inc., and in October 1989, he was appointed President of KORG USA, where he played a key role in expanding Korg’s presence in the U.S. market. In 1995, he became Executive Vice President of Korg Inc., and in October 2003, he assumed the position of President and CEO.

Throughout his career, Seiki Kato made significant contributions to the music industry.

For decades, he was a driving force behind Korg’s success, earning the deep respect and trust of colleagues and industry partners alike. The instruments he helped bring to life have empowered musicians around the world, shaping the future of music and artistic expression.

We remain committed to carrying forward his passion and spirit of innovation, striving to create products that inspire. We sincerely appreciate your continued support.

Lets Make the Bass from “Hot To GO!" by Chappell Roan

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"In this video, I take on the challenge of recreating the bass sound from Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go” using four legendary vintage synthesizers: Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, Roland Jupiter-8, ARP 2600 & Minimoog.

The secret sauce? Pulse width modulation (PWM)—it’s the key to nailing that rich, dynamic bass tone. I’ll walk you through how I dial in the sound on each synth and perform the bassline, so you can hear the differences and pick your favorite. You'll see that sometimes a simple sound requires some very subtle knob turns especially with the envelope, generators, filter, modulation, and resonance

But here’s the real takeaway—it’s not about which synth was used on the record, but about understanding how to craft the sound on any synth you have. Once you know the building blocks, you can shape it your way. Plus, the way you play the notes is just as important as the sound itself!

So, which synth gets the vibe just right? Watch and decide for yourself!"

HYP3 Core Engine 開発 - Roland TB-303との比較テストの記録

video upload by SYNTHERNET

Googlish translation below.

"これは2024年6月に行ったHYP3 Core Engine (仮称) というアナログモデリング音源とRoland TB-303との比較テストの記録です。 HYP3 Core Engine (仮称) はSYNTHERNETで開発中のハードウェアシンセサイザー、HYP3やG3N3などで使用するモデリング音源です。動画で使用しているMICRO HYP3は、実験用のハードウェアです。オーバークロックされたSTM32F411 (Cortex-M4, 120MHz) で動作しています。

左上の表示はas_SonoGx2というスペクトログラフを使用しています。横軸が時間で縦軸が周波数です。レゾナントピークが輝線として見えるため、カットオフ周波数のエンベロープ形状を観察することができます。オレンジ (HYP3) とブルー (TB-303) が重なると白く表示されます。

テスト1ではテンポ上昇とアクセントの連続に追従してエンベロープが上昇していく状態を比較しています。オシレーターがフリーランニングなので位相差のずれは起こりますが、エンベロープ自体はほとんど一致しています。

テスト2ではパラメータを変化させた時の変化を比較しています。HYP3 Core Engineはポテンショメータのカーブやパラメータ範囲までTB-303に一致させています。これは個体に合わせて調整することも可能です。

テスト3では同じ外部のディストーションをかけた時の比較です。歪ませたとしても、かなり近いフィーリングを得ることができます。"

Googlish:

This is a record of a comparison test conducted in June 2024 between the analog modeling sound source called HYP3 Core Engine (tentative name) and the Roland TB-303.

The HYP3 Core Engine (tentative name) is a modeling sound source used in hardware synthesizers under development at SYNTHERNET, such as HYP3 and G3N3.

The MICRO HYP3 used in the video is experimental hardware. It runs on an overclocked STM32F411 (Cortex-M4, 120MHz).

The display in the upper left uses a spectrograph called as_SonoGx2.

The horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is frequency. The resonant peak appears as a bright line, so you can observe the envelope shape of the cutoff frequency. Orange (HYP3) and Blue (TB-303) When they overlap, they are displayed in white.

In test 1, we compare the state in which the envelope rises in response to an increase in tempo and a series of accents. Since the oscillator is free running, there is a phase difference, but the envelope itself is almost identical.

In test 2, we compare the changes when parameters are changed. The HYP3 Core Engine matches the potentiometer curve and parameter range to the TB-303. This can also be adjusted to suit the individual unit.

In test 3, we compare the results when the same external distortion is applied. Even with distortion, you can get a very similar feeling.

Moog/Cordovox CDX-0652 "White Elephant"

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

via this listing

"Produced by the Thomas Organ Company in the mid to late 70s for Moog, it was basically their Cordovox Organ with a Moog Satellite synthesizer built in to it. Nicknamed 'The White Elephant' for its massive size and round shell. Looks like something from a Stanley Kubrick movie, I've kept mine in my living/dining room and it's a constant conversation piece and fun to play with friends. Recording wise the sounds are top notch. The thin metal plate which is along the top row of synth switches is bent slighly and could benefit from being removed and bent back to shape, but it's only attached by a couple of screws. Otherwise some scrapes and marks on the white tolex normal for it's age."

Arpeggio Improvisational Jam with the Sequencer Overlay

video upload by Tangible Instruments

"The Sequencer Overlay lets you dive deeper into your saved sequences and change the pitch or octave of any note, add slide notes where you want, adjust swing, and note probability. In the beginning of the video I'm adjusting the 'Sequence Frequency Pattern' which is like a step sequencer for the entire sequence. Sometimes you don’t want a melody to play constantly in order to leave space for the other instruments in your composition. A Sequence Frequency Pattern of up to 16 steps is saved with each sequence. Each step can either play the sequence or wait silently for the length of the sequence. Later, I'm using live note input to change notes in the sequence as it's playing. @KorgOfficial @jhspedals"

"Une fois n'est pas coutume, un petit speech sur le SynthR10 et son architecture basique sonore. (pour ceux qui ne seront pas au Synthfest)
Le SynthR10 est un polyphonique analogique 10 voies (2 cartes de 5 voies chacune, appelé A et B).
Chaque voie = 2 VCOs + 1 sub, 2 VCFs, 1 VCA, 2 LFOs analogiques et enveloppes commandés en tension.

Mode Performance : 2 patchs en split ou layer (5 voies chaque), Arpeggiateur + synthé, Sequence + Synthé.
Il y a aussi un petit sequenceur looper intuitif ....
Mode unisson : mode monophonique jusqu’à 10 VCOs sur une note.
