Lox | Twin Monomachine IDM | First pass with the new ems-monomachine-firmware

video upload by MIDERA

"Alright - so I guess someone really cool (Em-) decided to give the Elektron Monomachine new life - I installed this on both my Monomachines and gave it a test. I know there are some bugs, but after reading through them it didn't seem like it would affect what I was doing. I'm extremely excited by the updates, as they address the thing I missed a lot on the Monomachine - independent track lengths. Here you can hear just a single pattern with longer total patterns. Honestly, it's kind of game changing. So thank you Em-. This is great!

Here's where you can go to get this release: https://github.com/emuyia/ems-monomac...

Prophet 10 and MIDI MORPHEUS - an LFO generator for the Prophet 10

video upload by MIDERA

"When I was playing around with the Roland MKS-80, I kept thinking "My Prophet 10 sounds soooo much like this, do I really need to spend $$$ on getting an MKS?" The things I loved so much about the MKS (and actually the Kawai SX-240 which I sold) related to the LFO. I love a good reverse saw LFO and a random LFO. Notably, these are absent from the Prophet 10.

I started building another device I haven't showcased yet, and I realized I could repurpose that work to make an LFO module, which is what you're seeing here. So what can it do? It currently targets multiple CC destinations with adjustable depth, speed, and waveform shape.

Been having a lot of fun with it so far, creating sounds the Prophet 10 could not do unless I had a Yorick LFE, which is no longer made and was a little too expensive for me to justify purchasing. This is far cheaper (although I don't want to think about how much I've spent in parts/time building this!).

Cheers

"After my adventure with the MKS-80, I wanted to write something with my Spectralis. This is that track.

Further... I think this is where I may conclude my time with the Sequentix Cirklon 2... A lovely thing, but - I don't think it's for me. The Spectralis is too 'home' for me.

Dual Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter - Gemini series with Retroaktiv MPG-8X

video upload by MIDERA

"I fixed my friend's Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter and also replaced his screen with a OLED (wow it looks a lot better than the old screen). He also had another one he loaned me in case I want to buy that from him... so I did what any sane person would do, hooked them up together and played something. Nothing spectacular of course, but this was one of my noodlings.

I also used the Retroaktiv MPG-8X, which was way nicer than using the screen to edit!"

video upload by MIDERA

"So, I borrowed my friend's Roland MKS-80 because there was an issue with it (actually, there wasn't, we just didn't have something connected right). Well, I figured I'd try playing it. I knew I hated my Jupiter 6 and I was convinced this would sound just as bad.

I was VERY mistaken. The MKS-80 sounds nothing like the JP6. I don't know what anyone's talking about when they say they sound alike. The MKS-80 sounds way better, to my ears, I absolutely despised the JP6 filter. The MKS-80 sounds great. I'm honestly really impressed.

I could buy an MKS-80. I'm tempted - but I do have a Prophet 10 which sounds pretty similar... but... how often will I come across another Jupiter 7?

Memories | Roland JX3P and Fractal Audio FM3 nostalgic instrumental

video upload by MIDERA

"So, I sold my JX3P, my amazing condition JX3P, because I had the System 8 and the Jupiter 6. Fast track to now, a friend sells me a beat up JX3P and I think "I'll test it out again..." And man what a synth. The System 8 really doesn't do it justice. I can't believe I kept the JP6 over the JX3P, which sounds far better than the JP6 or System 8. What a bummer. Now, just like the D-50, I sold a mint condition one, and ended up with a junker :/ Sigh... well, the Jupiter 6 is gone (couldn't be more glad to be honest), and I'm eyeing the System 8...

Waves of Evermore | A 3rd Wave 8M soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"I picked up a 3rd wave 8M in a trade (my Jupiter 6 and Poly Evolver for their Xpander, 3rd Wave, Chase bliss Thermae, and cash) and honestly didn't think I'd like the 3rd wave very much, after having played the 24 voice desktop. Surprisingly, I am liking it more than I thought I would. Can't say I like the voice count at 8, especially if you can get the 24 voice for $2500 used... but it's not too bad. I just notice the voices dropping off on the 8M in a way I don't with other 8 voice synths like the Prophet VS. I wonder why that is, apart from maybe the 8M having a much longer release stage to the envelopes, but otherwise I have no idea.

Well, I do like it, sounds really nice actually."

Oberheim Xpander first encounter

video upload by MIDERA

"It is not my best work... but I wanted to put something up. Today, I traded some gear and ended up with an Xpander. It's pretty crazy what it can do. However, I'm not particularly enjoying editing from a distance, since the 'desktop' nature of the Xpander is such that it can't actually sit on any of my synths. It's literally bigger than my OB-6.

But it's got a very unique sound. Hopefully after I take some time I can really dig into the parameters of the instrument (and find a better way to edit it while playing).

"I went to pull out my Korg ESX-1... and well... it's dead. Took it to a tech who also said it's dead. I'm going to try one more thing to see if I can get it working... we'll see. For now, I've thrown my Korg EMX-1 into the foray for drums since it can do mostly the same things. However, I forgot that the drum parts can't go through the filters. That's so dumb. What was Korg thinking? Makes no sense. Oh well. That's what I've got. I'd have actually expanded this track but couldn't because the next pattern in the EMX was something I didn't want to lose, so I just stuck to this one.

Vivarium

video upload by MIDERA

"Here's a new track. I wanted to bring the Tempest back in and use it again... but almost everything about it is just difficult to use... I tried to sequence the beats, but the OS would freeze when doing it that way, so I had to opt to manually change beats. Using the external sequencer kind of ruins half the fun of the Tempest, so I chose to do it all in the box, and it's great for that... but it's extremely hard to put a track together using the Tempest.

Gear used:
Cirklon 2 sequencer
DSI Tempest (drums)
Moog Minimoog (bass)
Roland SH-101 (Bass)
Sequential OB-6 (arp)
Roland JD-990 (initial melodic pad)
Oberheim Matrix 1000 (later pad sound)
Prophet 10 (secondary melody halfway through track)
NI Raum (Reverb)
