Native Instruments Reaktor sine wave modulated by FX plugin written by deejayiwan. Souds like a sawtooth wave that gets morphed into a pulse wave at the end.

And a track featuring the KORG Triton for synths and FL Studio for drums:

DRUMAXX SOUNDS

"The Drumaxx percussion modelling instrument gives you total control over 16 physically modelled drum pads that can be routed to independent outputs for external effects processing.

Great, but why should you care when the internet is awash with drum samples? In two words, expressive control. Once a drum sound is recorded, the performance and modulation options are limited to filtering, volume, or similar 1-dimensional effects. When a single drum sample is triggered in a roll, you get the familiar 'machine-gun' effect and it just sounds mechanical. Multi-sampled, multi-layered drums can overcome this limitation but need multi-megabyte or even Gigabyte! drum libraries. Even then, you are still limited to the sounds originally recorded.

Drumaxx is not based on samples or even commonly used 'synthesis'

techniques, where oscillators are mixed and the result is always 'electronic'. Drumaxx uses modelling algorithms to create bass drums, hi-hats, snares, realistic and electronic sounds too. But what about the traditional 'Achilles' heel' of synthesis, cymbals? Drumaxx creates cymbals and metallic percussion also."

Roland MJX-70 ?

This one is in via @deejayiwan

Photoshopped JX-8P?  Looks like someone grabbed the Retroactive MPG-70 logo.


Update via the comments:

"It is real and one of a kind, I know, I built it myself. That photo was a test photo for the 3d printed keys. The end result has blue keys.
It is a JX8p redressed to match the MPG70 and MKS70. (and other roland gear in that style).
If you watch my video (link below) from some time back you can see it at 2:35. :)

An Interview with Kubo & Additional Synth Pics

deejayiwan has an interview up with Kubo here.  You might remember Kubo's synth pics from this previous post last week.

"The very sound of an analogue oscillator detuning against another is a thing of inspiration, and often an entire song will evolve simply because a particular sound was stumbled upon whilst tweaking pots and sliders.

The analogue synthesizer for us it the centre of our music. It’s a man made machine that seems to posses a soul, provided you are willing to search for it! As much as our music is about the lyrics and the melody, it is about the exploration of pure synthetic sound."

The Oskitone OKAY Analog Squarewave Synth

Oskitone OKAY 2 from oskitone on Vimeo.

http://www.oskitone.com/product/okay-2-synth

This one is in via @deejayiwan. Originally $180 on Oskitone's website, it is now available for $60 on Tindie.

Monophonic, analog, square-wave synthesizer with 2 octaves of keys and octave divider

Monophonic:
Only one note at a time can be played. This is opposed to “polyphonic,” where multiple simultaneous notes can be played.

Analog:
There are no computers, microcontrollers, sound samplers, or anything digital involved. The sound you hear is the sound of a speaker being abused by discrete electronic components like capacitors and resistors and logic chips.

Square-wave:
When its output is viewed on an oscilloscope, its wave resembles a square. It’s a “hard” sounding wave type, great for bass lines, and commonly associated with chiptune music and old video games.

This is the OKAY 2 Synth DIY Kit, and it's just like the original OKAY Synth but now features two octaves of keys and a 1/4" audio out jack. Assembly required. Includes the PCBs, electronics components, and assembly guide.

If you have your own 3D printer, you can print the enclosure, keys, and all the other non-electronic parts yourself. 3D model STL files are available on Thingiverse.

If you want 3D-printed parts included, please note that they will be printed on demand. These orders typically ship within one business week.

Under the hood, it’s powered by an LM555 timer (astable mutlivabratory), CD4040 ripple-carry binary counter/divider (frequency divider), and an LM386 power amplifier. All are the standard circuits you'll see diagrammed in their datasheets.

Monophonic with high note priority
Six selectable octaves and one octave of keys
Satisfying "clicky" tactile switches
Built-in amplifier and speaker
9v battery required, not included"

The One of a Kind EMS Synthi KB1

EMS Synthi KB1 by Digitana from portabellabz on Vimeo.

"Wish a nice background music from the Synthi KB1 will come ;)
Thanks for sharing, Steve !
synthi.co.uk/"

This image was spotted and sent my way via @deejayiwan. I've seen it before so I did a quick search on the site, but only found this previous post. A little digging on the web and I found the video above and a post on none other than x0xb0x creator, Adafruit's blog. According to that post:

"ask.audio blogs about the 2017 recovery of a rare, one-of-a-kind EMS Synthi KB1 synthesizer, a model that never made it into production. This one was made for the band YES in 1971. Digitana Electronics obtained the synth and was looking to document some music history.

'We are pleased to announce that Digitana Electronics has acquired an important piece of E.M.S. history…the E.M.S. Synthi KB1 keyboard. Only one prototype was ever made, for the band YES in 1971.

'The synth never went into production. It has remained essentially unused for 46 years though Steve Howe (YES guitarist) did use it on a track in the first of his ‘homebrew’ demo recordings, some of which featured on the bands albums. We plan to release more photos and audio demos of this keyboard in the future so that E.M.S. fans everywhere can finally hear and find out more about this beautiful and historic instrument.'”

Tech Talk: Lauer and his love for vintage gear (Electronic Beats TV)

Studio tour with Lauer, in via @deejayiwan.

"Lauer opened up to Telekom Electronic Beats TV about his vintage gear love in the latest instalment of Tech Talk. Known for his many collaborations, the most notable being with Gerd Janson as Tuff City Kids, as well as his solo work, Phillip Lauer showed us the gear he has amassed over the years, and delves deeply into his personal processes which make his music unique."

Precursor Mobile, Open-Hardware, RISC-V System-on-Chip (SoC) Seeks Crowdfuning

For the DIYers.

In via @deejayiwan.

"CPU Emulation: While the reference FPGA ships with a 32-bit RISC-V CPU running at 100MHz, it can be reconfigured to emulate a wide range of retro-CPUs, from the 6502 to the Z-80 to something we’ve never even heard of. Furthermore, Precursor’s FPGA-based design can accurately emulate old sound chips in hardware, and its modular keyboard can be swapped out for an alternative that more closely resembles your favorite old controller. Be warned, however: it will no longer fit in your pocket if you mount a joystick on it."

Audio features:

Audio with safe defaults

Integrated 0.7 W speaker for notifications

Vibration motor

3.5 mm headset jack

No integrated microphone – audio surveillance is not possible when headset is unplugged

Bidirectional I²S interface for audio
