YM2413 SYNTH + ROLAND XP50 - Testing sounds from the homemade OPLL mini FM synthesizer.


video upload by MusicHobby

"YM2413 SYNTH - Testing sounds from the homemade OPLL mini FM synthesizer. Roland XP50 keyboard used as controller, to send MIDI notes, program and control changes to the YM2413 module and the audio goes to the audio interface.

This is my project of a YM2413 FM Synth MIDI Module, already assbembled in a purple printed circuit board.

The YM2413 chip (known as OPLL), which is 2 operator FM musical synthesizer that uses FM synthesis (frequency modulation) to generate timbres. In this YM2413 based musical instrument I am using the Arduino Nano to control the YM's internal registers.

The YM2413 was used in:
-Yamaha PSS-170 and PSS-270 keyboards in 1986;
-Yamaha SHS-10 shoulder keyboard in 1987, and the Yamaha PSS-140 and Yamaha SHS-200 in 1988;
-Yamaha PSR-6 keyboard in 1988;
-Sega Master System, MSX, Atari Games Rampart arcade game;

I purchased the YM2413 chip on Aliexpress. I designed the board then sent the gerber to JLCPCB to be manufacured. Application Manual: https://www.smspower.org/maxim/Docume...

The intitial schematic of this board is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3n0dgba6pr6..."

Therapsid mk3 (multitimbral sequencing)


video upload by

"Hi this a track I converted to sequence the Therapsid.

Disclaimer this Therapsid was sent to me by Twisted Electrons and I spent so long working with them to get the firmware all working nicely so it worked as expected from someone that uses c64's as well as synths, I'm going to mark it as a paid promotion anyway though.

The track is called 'There's still time' , I originally made it on a Digitakt using samples. Here it is being sequenced by a Dirtywave M8.

I have quite a few clips of the Therapsid on my instagram if you would like to see them as the firmware progressed to where it is today.

"Crooked Teeth" Cover ♬ Death Cab for Cutie on Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 #TTNM


video upload by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Here's another Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 groovebox song-mode thing. A weird synth cover of Death Cab for Cutie's 'Crooked Teeth'. Some liberties were taken ;-P
All sounds created and sequenced on the LD3. Voice recorded separately and mixed and processed on a Zoom R16."

Fell in Love with a Girl / The White Stripes / Covered with Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 #TTNM


"Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 synthesizer covers The White Stripe's 'Fell in Love with a Girl'. This has been a favorite song of mine, ever since I learned power chords on my Squier electric guitar. I'm way past that though and just let synths play for me nowadays. Well ... after I program those songs manually into their memory for hours on end ... although with the Little deFormer 3's "song mode" it's actually fun and even a zen-like experience ;-P

All sounds made on the LD3. Voice sampled and sequenced and then deFormed with onboard FX."

Elektron SidStation (no effects)


video upload by Benjamin Dehli

"Quick test of the Elektron SidStation. The sound of Commodore 64 and computer games from the 1980s. The MOS 6581 SID chip is capable of some gritty sounds with its 8-bit DAC and an analog filter that easily distorts. This is the raw direct sound of the SidStation and no effects were added."

Major New Version of MIDISID


video upload by MIDI IN



"MIDISID contains two SID chips (supplied with two modern SID replacements) for a total of six voices, driven by MIDI input. Each voice has configurable waveform, ADSR envelope, pulse width and more. The chips also feature filtering and more advanced features such as ring modulation and waveform sync. A menu system and four push-switch rotary encoders allow you to design sounds or choose preset sounds and mode of operation.

My project received some media attention towards the end of last year and things went crazy.

The support and sales I've had have enabled me to spend the time developing the hardware and firmware. In May I released a major revision.

The footprint is slightly larger, the top is angled forwards, knobs and screen have been repositioned, custom sides partially enclose the electronics. All of this make the device more user-friendly; you can see the screen when sitting back from it and your hand doesn't obscure the screen when using the knobs. The overall design is a little reminiscent of the breadbin C64 case that originally housed the SID chip.

The biggest addition to the firmware is by popular request. Users wanted to be able to control or modulate any of the SIDs' parameters using MIDI CC messages, and so now this is in place.

The price remains the same.

This video shows one way of using MIDISID to compose music - you can create up to six 'external midi instrument' tracks in your DAW, each sending to a different channel / SID voice.

Other videos on my channel show other ways of using MIDISID.

Details of the CC control are in Appendix F of the manual.
