"A sequence showing some of the features of our new MIX SEQUENCER module. This module was based on the ARP2500 Mix Sequencer module. We used some noises from our NOISE STATION, a sound from our ANALOG DRUM SYNTH and several waveforms from two VCO-104 analog oscillators."

Happy New Year From MATRIXSYNTH! - A Look Back at 2014

Happy New Year everyone!

I want to start by thanking everyone that comes to MATRIXSYNTH and helps make it what it is - the readers, the supporters, and of course all the sponsors on the right.

THANK YOU and have a GREAT 2015!!!

This site is a labor of love and a ton of work. This site is ultimately meant to be an testament to everything synth in the making. We have over nine years of daily synth history captured here, 119,983 published posts. I can't wait to see what the future brings us in 2015!

That said, here are a few interesting bits from 2014 in the longest post of the year. ;)

EMW PATCH SYNTHESIZERS for the KORG DW-8000, Roland Alpha Juno & JX-8P

Some of you might remember the EMW Patch Synthesizer JX-810P posted back in 2011. There are also EMW PATCH SYNTHESIZERS for the KORG DW-8000, Roland Alpha Juno, Yamaha TX-81Z & DX11, and the Casio CZ series.

"What is the EMW Patch Synthesizer?

The EMW Patch Synthesizer is an intelligent patch creator. It operates on a certain degree of randomness but it is not just a simple patch randomizer like the ones that can be found on patch editors. Its internal software uses an intelligent algorithm to maximize the usability of the generated sounds.

Why use it? Or why use it instead of a Patch Editor?

The Patch Synthesizer does not exclude the use of a patch editor, they can be used together to extend the sound creation possibilities. One thing that is usual when creating a patch is that we humans have our preferences and always tend to use the same parameters, envelope settings and modulations, this is not bad but limits the creative process in a significant way.
Think about the EMW Patch Synthesizer as a new point of view generator, another opinion in sound creation or a friend that can throw some light and new perspectives. Its really like not to be alone in the process anymore.

For which synthesizers is it available?

We now have the Patch Synthesizer for the following synthesizer models:

- Roland Alpha Juno 1, Alpha Juno 2 and MKS-50
- Roland JX-8P and MKS-70
- Korg DW8000 and EX8000
- Casio CZ101, CZ1000, CZ3000, CZ5000 and CZ1
- Yamaha TX-81Z and DX11"

Atomic Shadow Studio Pics & New Website

"Last month the lab experienced upheaval in the form of a major remodel. The ergonomics of the space had left much to be desired. As work began on the Twelve Full Moons album in January of 2011, I needed somewhere to mount the two Hewlett Packard sine wave generators that I planned to use on the album. I had a large metal rack that was sitting in a shed and it was pressed in to service and placed to the left of the desk in the room. Things got out of hand from there and over the next year it grew to four 45 U rack units. More is more!..."

Casio CZ-101 with the EMW CZ-500

YouTube Published on May 12, 2012 by stuthomson

"The EMW CZ-500 patch bank is basically a ROM box loaded with 500 patches for the CZ series synthesizers. This was an impulse/curiosity buy. I was hoping it was loaded with pads - but no, however there are a few great strings patches (one is demo'd here). Lots of very good lead and solo patches including a very good job on acoustic instruments (check out the flute). Excellent root patches for your own mod.s. Effect is the Chora Lush chorus pedal. Nice job EMW. My apologies for the poor focus on the close-up."
