E FUN!WLK FILTERBANK // CLEAN vs. DISTORSION // TORSO S-4 // EMPRESS Zoia // No Talking

video upload by LESINDES

"The WLK FILTERBANK is used on SPEECH, a NARRATION LOOP explaining the WLK and the SND filterbanks in ENGLISH and GERMAN. Extreme use of the frequency bands and also the distosion/saturation settings demonstrate the ability of the units und explore its/their boundaries.
SND FB-14 speech demo will be uploaded soon.

HAVE FUN!

The humming noise in the background is a crane that has been working for hours on the street to repair a water pipe of a neighboring building. I tried to remove it but I wasn’t entirely successful. To cut a long story short: Since the units dramatically compress the signal they push it but they are not generating it!"

"The SND FB-14 is a stunning GERMANIUM TRANSISTOR based FILTERBANK with 14 fixed Q band pass filters. As you can hear in the demo the sound shaping shaping potential of this filter is enormus.
SND FB-14 is assisted by WLK-Audio Inductive Filterbank (silicon) to control excessive boosts and the core of the wiring: ART passive splitter + mixer SplitMix4. The SplitMix knob marked with the WHITE DOT (blue, unused in this session, is for additional feedback!) is controlling the signal that is fed back into SND.
The basic feed is from TORSO Electronics S-4 sculpting sampler."

DYNACORD VRS-23 vs.SRS-56 // Analog "Reverb" // Clavia Nord Modular

video upload by LESINDES

"There was somebody asking what the diefferendcs was between DYNACORD VRS-23 and SRS-56.:
Both are analog delays with 'reverb' capabilities.
SRS-56 is by far the more flexible delay and it is in stereo. VRS-23 delay is only mono, and VRS processes only mono signals. SRS "reverb" algorithms do not provide the same reverb ambience as the VRS does IMHO. VRS is easier to handle. It lets you not only adjust modulation (LFO) depth/amount but also speed.
I have just finished a demo video which I will upload very soon.
DYNACORD SRS-56 you could modulated stereo crossfeedback bucket brigade delay with presets custom settings. A big vintage machine bringing back the pad feeling of late seventies. The SRS-56 has become quite rare these days. It is a sibling af the fomous VSR-23 with its very special pseudo reverb."

"UNBOXING // IK Multimedia UNO SYNTH PRO X // Part 2 // TWEAKING Presests // No Talking
Just arrived here. I could not dive deep into the synth. So I am scatchning only the surfice in this video and my short FIRST IMPRESSIONS of the new kid.
Very versatile little machine with paraphonic mode to play triads and program triads in the step sequencer. 2 independet filter. 1 OTA HP/LP, 1 SSM style, parallel or in series.
Now a few shortcomings:
DISTORSION is welcome but has to be that harsh?
Also: A programmable DISTORSION is a good feature but without a programmable overall level BEHIND the DISTORSION it makes the synth almost unsuitable for a live performance as for huge unsustainable loudness gaps between different patches.
DELAY and REVERB are only average and far away industry standard.
Flexible MODULATION ROUTING but it is quite a mess to readjust levels as there are for instance no dedicated attenuaters for LFO mod levels for the VCF. I understand that there is not much space on the panel 1. But LFO WAVE knob could get a 2nd shift function. Main job: LFO amount, shift-job: wave....
AND it does not feature a power switch. That's really bad when you hooked directly on your computer via USB-C. Every time when you'redone you must tear the plug or the UNO sucks your computer batterie empty.
This could be solved. By a hint of a user. Pressing the hold button for a second or two switches the unit off. So at least an OFF SWITCH!
The tune knob for the oscillators is multirange: The first 10 minutes plus and minus it increses and decreases in CT steps and in half tones. So you cannot detune the oscillators when shifted in the halftone range.
The pots controlling plus and minus CVs could better feature a DENTED CENTER POSITION. For the TUNE knob it is not a big problem as it first advances in cents but adjustment FILTER ENV amount is sometimes very delicate and a quick cancelling of the ENV is not possible without a dented center position.
Units with built in sequencer are often hooked up to computers and other machines as via MIDI or USB as slaves. And here this unit badly need a well functioning AUTO MODE so that it switches to slave automatically when an EXTERNAL CLOCK is detected at the input. Most other gear features this.
So these were my fist impressions."

DUSTING OFF // AnalogFX SER-2020 // Dynacord SRS-56 // No Talking

https://www.analogfx.com/

"DYNACORD SRS-56 is a very are STEREO ANALOG DELAY pseudo REVERB from 1977.

Rebuilt of the ultra rare SYNTON SYRINX Dutch keyboard synth.
I cannot compare but the unusual filter setting of
2 bandpass and 1 lowpass VCFs, with 4 different routings
give a lot of modulation freedom and rendition of rather unusual
sounds.

Since I am not a fan of black gear. I tried my best in 2023 and contacted
ANALOG FX. And they had been so kind as to manufacture a
custom blue face synth which I have only seen in some
preproductions units and, of course, in the historic
SYRINX which was available also in red.

For the image angle had to use the wide angle and so only a quite low resolution. So there is not much detail. Sorry for that."
