ROLAND JUPITER-Xm - 4 Layers Performance by Gattobus
Roland Jupiter Xm | Roland 1909 Launches - sonicstate

"Since the release of the JUPITER-4 in 1978, the name JUPITER has marked the pinnacle of Roland sound and playability. With the new JUPITER-X series (available as 61-note JUPITER-X and 37-note portable JUPITER-Xm), classic Roland design and a powerful new sound engine combine to faithfully recreate sought-after instruments from our long history of genre-defining sounds—JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, SH-101, XV-5080, JX-8P, modern RD pianos, TR-808, TR-909, CR-78… and always expanding with more inspiring sounds.

Experience the next-generation arpeggiator, I-Arpeggio, that uses artificial intelligence to not only accompany you... but to inspire you. I-Arpeggio takes your input—notes, rhythms, phrases—and creates complementary drum parts, basslines, chords, and arpeggio lines, simultaneously.

Both the JUPITER-Xm and JUPITER-X feature metal construction for durability.

Both the JUPITER-Xm and JUPITER-X can "layer up to five parts, four for synths and one for drums. Its engine can power multiple authentic Roland classics like the JX-8P or JUPITER-8 with enough polyphony to create thick layers and complex backing parts. Create the perfect bass and lead split with an SH-101 and JUNO-106, layer a rich RD piano with lush JX-8P strings, or make a monster stack of JUPITER-8s."

Both the JUPITER-Xm and JUPITER-X are "equipped with our latest sound engine, capable of morphing into legendary synths from our long history of genre-defining sounds. It’s so flexible that it can reproduce our highly sought-after analog classics like the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, and SH-101, as well as digital machines like the vintage XV-5080 and modern RD pianos. You also get the many Roland drum machines that are the foundation of electronic and dance music like the TR-808, TR-909, CR-78, and more. It’s like a studio full of vintage gear, with modern capabilities and a deep synth engine so you can explore unmapped sonic territory.

Both the JUPITER-Xm and JUPITER-X are "part of an expandable platform, so it can be updated with fresh new content as it becomes available. It can also directly share sounds and other contents with the highly-mobile JUPITER-Xm."

Introducing reSEMble

Published on Aug 25, 2019 Randy Piscione

"This is the maiden voyage of reSEMble, a single-panel, single-voice synth inspired by the Oberheim SEM, for Eurorack. More info below.

This is a prototype panel, home made (obvious I know) but the building blocks are available from PM Foundations. The panel is currently in Front Panel Designer, but I have not ordered one yet. The 'modules' can be built as standalone Eurorack modules or built behind the reSEMble panel. There is no point-to-point wiring. All connections are made with ribbon cables that run from the back of each module to a single busboard.

We haven’t decided how to market / sell it yet, or even if there is enough demand to bother, but I’m definitely making another one for myself. The 3 VCOs, VCF and two EGs are based on the SEM, but, in addition to a 3rd VCO, there are a few other enhancements, including an expanded LFO, Noise, sample and hold, a wavefolder and more modulation and routing options.

This is not a clone of an SEM. Unlike someone who shall remain nameless but whose initials are UB, we actually sent a note to Tom Oberheim, who forwarded our note to a friend of his, who spent some time on the phone with me. He encouraged us to take Tom’s work and build on it, which we did. The combination of toggles and expanded module functionality replace approximately 80 patchcords."

Polynorth - a hybrid analog/digital polyphonic synthesizer

Published on Jul 31, 2019 Jon Petter Skagmo

via skagmo.com

"The Polynorth is my first attempt at designing a polyphonic synthesizer. It's got a completely analog filter section, combined with a powerful 200 MHz 32-bit microcontroller.

I've always wanted to build an analog polyphonic synthesizer, but they often end up being very large and complex because the size of the electronics pretty much scales linearly with the number of voices.

In many ways I think the filters are the hardest part of a digital synthesizer to get to "sound analog", so I figured out a good compromise would be to keep the filters analog and do all the rest with a microcontroller. The mostly digital architecture also has some important benefits:

- Flexible internal signal routing like a modular synth, but without a ton of patch leads
- More advanced modulation options (FM)
- Patch store/recall (including the routing)
- Much smaller size

I stumbled upon the SSI2144 filter, which is a modern remake of the classic SSM2044. It's very similar in many ways, but in a much more compact package and with better dynamic range, so a 6 voice synth could be made pretty compact. This is what kicked off the project.

The system architecture is explained in this block schematic."

DAFM DIY Synthesizer - SEGA Genesis FM sound on a tiny board

Published on Jul 12, 2019 Floyd Steinberg

"DAFM DIY Synthesizer, by Kasser Art. Table of contents below! This is a 6 voice, 6 part multitimbral FM Synthesizer based on Yamaha's YM2612 / YM3438 sound chip, as found in the SEGA Genesis 90s video game console. In this video, I'm using a soldering iron for the first time in 30 years, trying to assemble this kit.

via HACKADAY.IO

"Now the DAFM Synth Genesis YM2612/YM3438 has been redesigned as a DIY friendly kit. This is a nice project that comprises soldering of through-hole components. This kit can be found on Tindie: Assembled version with case and knobs can be found here.

What is it?

Sound synthesis through Frequency Modulation (FM) allows to obtain unique sounds that defined a whole musical generation during the 80's and 90's The model Genesis uses the YM2612 (or YM3438) yamaha chip that was used in the SEGA Genesis / Megadrive home console.

Why did you make it?

This synthesizer is the perfect mix for lovers of retro video games, and makers who want to introduce themselves in the musical experimentation.

What makes it special?

The YM2612 has six channels with four operators per channel. The operators can interact according to eight different algorithms. Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release (ADSR) envelopes, frequencies and low frequency oscillators (LFOs) can be modified to obtain the whole range of FM sounds.

The YM2612 chip has a peculiar form of crossover distortion in the output, which has become known as the "ladder effect" among fans. The YM3438 is a modified CMOS version of the YM2612 with a louder sound output and no "ladder effect". The DAFM Synth can be purchased with the YM2612 or the YM3438 chip. Nostalgic retrogamers would choose the YM2612 chip. The YM3438 would be the first choice for the FM-synthesis lovers.

The synthesizer is operated through 2 rotary encoders and has a complete menu that is shown in 4 blue OLED displays. Thanks to the beautiful tactile keyboard of 12 notes you can try the different patches as they are created. There is also the possibility of changing the octave and thus test the full sound spectrum of the Yamaha chip. Once created, the presets can be saved in the RAM memory or in a SD card as DMP files that can be opened with VGM trackers like Deflemask.

The stereo sound output is 3.5 mm audio jack, has a MIDI input to connect a keyboard, sequencer or any MIDI instrument and can be powered with a micro USB cable (5V)."

radiator: the laser synthesizer co-created by Andrew Kilpatrick of Kilpatrick Audio

Published on Jul 2, 2019 Neon Captain

Currently on Kickstarter here.

This one was sent my way via Pat. Note although the primary focus of radiator is a laser light synthesizer, it has audio and CV out. I asked Andrew Kilpatrick about the audio out and he had the following to say:

"Normally the outputs would carry the X and Y signals that move the mirrors. I’ve experimented with it quite a bit and generally it sounds like a very stereo drone, but it could be used as a pitched sound source with voltage or MIDI control. The cool part is that you hear what you see, so it’s basically the most true kind of visualization!

We intend to also have modes that modulate the laser to audio or CV inputs, allowing any parameter of the laser patch to be controlled in real-time from another instrument. Radiator is a flexible type of synth with a modules optimized for making vector graphics, but it all works in the audio range so there are many creative possibilities for musicians."

And regarding the CV out:

"The CV outputs let you use the internal LFOs as sources for other synths and effects. Since a laser preset might have some kind of rhythm to it, you could patch this to other gear to have it work in sync."

The following is the official press release for radiator along with some hi-res pics. Click on the them for larger versions:

The Organelle is Brand New Again!

Published on Jun 26, 2019 Critter & Guitari

"Our animated friends discover new features and explore what the Organelle can be!"

"The Organelle has grown from a ‘device’ to a full-fledged instrument and can keep up with your new musical ideas anywhere you go and anywhere they take you.

New features liberate the Organelle so it’s ready to go at any time -- just turn it on and play in impromptu music environments.
It offers an immediate, full-spectrum music-making experience: be playful or intentional in the studio or wherever you find inspiration.
You’re now free to make music in an easier way.
We are happy to announce four new features to the Organelle!

Built-in Speaker
Built-in Microphone
Battery Power
MIDI Jacks
We’re also happy to announce the Organelle has been upgraded with a faster processor, twice as much RAM, and an improved web interface for patch management and Link sessions.

In other words, with its new onboard mic, speaker and ‘AA’ battery power:

Making music with the Organelle is more direct and adaptable to situation/user (less gear needed).
The Organelle is portable and autonomous.
The Organelle is a more powerful instrument that also affords more spontaneous/silly opportunities.
The new Organelle replaces the model launched in 2016. We will continue to call it the Organelle. To differentiate from the older model, we have added an M to the name. Here is a comparison of some specifications between the two Organelles:

WHAT ELSE HAS CHANGED SINCE THE ORGANELLE’S INITIAL RELEASE IN 2016?

The Organelle is an open-ended instrument - it can always become something else. One of the things we were excited for in 2016 was what other users would create and share with the Organelle community. We have been consistently impressed by the community’s contributions!

TONS OF PATCH DEVELOPMENT

Take a look at Patch Storage, you can see a steady stream of shared patches! Some patches are straightforward: synths or samplers with a handful of parameters. Other patches offer ‘pages’ of configurable settings and take advantage of the Organelle OLED screen’s graphics library. Whether they are complex or concise, they’re all great! Here are 13 demo videos of fantastic patches.

GROWING CODER BASE

It’s so great to see musicians taking the plunge and coding their own patches for their sonic visions."

Ellitone Instruments UltraRollz Farm Detective Analog Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Jun 21, 2019 ellitone instruments

via this auction

"The UltraRollz Farm Detective is an all Analog Modular Synthesizer based on the concepts presented by Peter Blassers (Ciat-Lonbarde) 'Rollz-5 Drum Machine'

The Instrument is divided into 3 sections. A Dual UltraSound Filter module in the center and 2 "Rollz Plates" (one located on either side).

The 2 Rollz Plates each contain 4 Independent Rollz. These Rollz are essentially Pulse Generators that each oscillate at a unique speed. Each Rollz Plate offers 2 Even Rollz (4 stages) and 2 Odd Rollz (3 stages).

The Even Rollz (4 stages) are able to self oscillate at a low consistent speed (LFO), outputting a positive pulse every cycle via the output jack located next to the LED (The LED flashes correspond to the output state of each Roll).

The Odd Rollz (3 stages) do not self-oscillate. They only come alive when patched together with other Rollz. These paradoxical oscillators will then begin emitting bursts of Ultra Sonic noise that will later be processed using the Dual UltraSound Filter located in the center of the instrument.

Each of the 8 Rollz offers individual patch points at every stage of their oscillation (36 patch points in total). These Nodal Points allow one to "weave" the independent Rollz Oscillators together, this is where all the fun begins!

By weaving together the inner workings of several Rollz, complex interactions and 'incidents' begin to occur. There really is no Right or Wrong way of connecting these Nodal Points together. I like to think of this whole process as "creating a thinking brain". The more connections that are made, the more likely that bizarre sounds (thoughts) will begin to take place.
