Free Roland D-110 Editor Librarian | Web MIDI Patch Manager

video upload by Ian Dixon

"A hands-on walkthrough of my free Roland D-110 Editor Librarian, a browser-based Web MIDI tool I developed to make the D-110 much easier to manage and edit from a modern computer.
https://thedigitallifestyle.com/w/TDL...

In the video I show how the editor reads the D-110's tones, patches, rhythm setup and system settings, then saves everything into a reusable library. I also go through tone editing, partial mute/solo style workflow, PCM sample selection, synthesis partials, envelopes, filters, patch editing, multi-timbral setups, SysEx import and why the D-110 can be more flexible than a D-50 when you want layered parts and MIDI-channel based arrangements.

The editor runs locally in the browser, uses Web MIDI, and does not send your synth data to the cloud. It is part of my free editor/librarian tools for bringing classic synths back into a modern workflow.

The Absolute Sequencer Powerhouse. Introducing Behringer BCR32

video upload by Behringer

"The Behringer BCR32 is much more than a MIDI controller with 32 rotary encoders. Join Bartek as he runs us through its powerful hands on sequencing features and shows how the built in Zaquencer can create melodies chords basslines and drums with multiple synthesizers. We really like how immediate the BCR32 feels and how easily it can become the brain of a MIDI or modular synthesizer setup. Let us know what you think about the BCR32 and share your ideas feature requests or bugs at ideas.behringer.com. Check out our other Behringer demos and synthesizer videos to see more gear in action."



USB/MIDI Controller/Sequencer with 32 Multi-Purpose Encoders and Polyphonic 32-Step / 4-Track Zaquencer

BCR32 — THE ZAQUENCER SEQUENCER, NOW WITH 32 KNOBS UNDER YOUR FINGERTIPS

Hardware controllers either give you knobs OR a sequencer. The BCR32 gives you both, in one of the most powerful USB/MIDI control surfaces ever built at this price. Thirty-two multi-purpose encoders. Twenty programmable buttons. A 32-step, 4-track sequencer powered by the legendary ZAQ Audio Zaquencer — the firmware that turned the original BCR2000 into a cult favourite among electronic music producers worldwide.

Every panel element is freely assignable, manually or through an intuitive learn mode. Eight of the 32 encoders are dual-mode with push function. Buttons can act as note on/off, control change, program change, MMC commands or system-exclusive triggers — meaning you can map this thing to literally anything your studio throws at it. Trigger audio clips, drive MIDI instruments, ride DAW automation, or build the entire performance from scratch.

The Zaquencer takes things into another dimension. Mono or polyphonic drum and note tracks, 192 stored patterns each made of 4 tracks, plus 2 independent MIDI controls per track for program change, aftertouch, pitch bend and CCs. Four CV/Gate and Sync connectors lock the BCR32 to modular rigs, drum machines and the analog world. Two assignable footswitch inputs free your hands. A multi-function OLED display, high-visibility multi-colour LED feedback and 4 virtual groups keep complex setups crystal-clear. One MIDI input, two MIDI outputs and a merge function let it double as a USB-to-MIDI interface and cascade with other control units. USB powered, Apple iPad compatible (via Camera Adapter, sold separately), class-compliant for plug-and-play operation. Pure performance power.

Yamaha EMR-1 Digital Drummer Sound Demo

video upload by Runningonair

Note: this appears to be the first demo featuring the EMR-1 on the site. There was one previous post featuring the EMR-1 in Yamaha's half rack series here.

"In this video I demo patterns from the Yamaha EMR-1 Digital Drummer, released in 1988. The patterns vary in usefulness but the lofi digital sounds (8/12bit) could be good for sampling. The individual sounds can apparently be played via a midi utility, but I've not looked into that so far.

All patterns are at 120BPM, for those that would like to try them out."

Grooving with B.A.C.H.

"A short example of B.A.C.H. in use, featuring its Groove mode."

Playing a Fugue with B.A.C.H.

video upload by Kaona Modular Music

"A short musical example with B.A.C.H., a generative Eurorack module.

Here, B.A.C.H. is used to build a polyphonic fugue, with several voices developing and interacting over time.

B.A.C.H. was designed to explore generative composition, counterpoint, repetition and evolution (without trying to replace the musician!)."

B.A.C.H. generates melodic, harmonic and rhythmic structures in real time. At each clock pulse, it determines the activity of the four tracks, along with their pitches, durations and dynamics. The result is shaped by the selected compositional language and the constraints defined by the musician.

The module controls a modular system directly through its Gate, Pitch and Mod outputs. It can also control MIDI synthesizers and sound modules. Each voice has its own configurable MIDI channel.

Twelve compositional languages
FUGUE constructs a multi-voice exposition from a subject, answers, a countersubject and episodes.

CANON develops a leading line through imitation, transposition, delay, contrary motion, retrograde or augmentation.

PROBA uses Markov chains and several transition vocabularies to produce directed randomness.

TINTINNABULI combines a melodic voice with voices whose notes are drawn from a triad or the current chord.

MINIMAL applies gradual processes of phase shifting, addition, substitution and hocketing.

Diatonic Diamond – Generative Harmonic Sequencer

video upload by Mute State

"Find the generative harmonic sequencer here: https://www.mutestate.com/diatonicseq...
The generative harmonic sequencer creates af diatonic field of chords from a scale, moves around between the derived chords (or intervals and triads) after a set number of bars (in this case 4) a portal into another scale and key is created ... by either reinterpreting the active chord, mutating on of the notes by a semitone, or converting it into its negative counterpart using negative harmony. In this demo the sequencer controlled an Elektron digitone, a teensy based bass synth (digitaur) and an Elektron digitakt. The sequencer has seven tracks in total, a bass track, a harmony track and a melody track and finally four drum tracks. Besides midi it also has an internal sound engine."

Avalon TB-303 VST by Denver Synth

video upload by manmade madman

"The Abstrakt Avalon was made to perfectly replicate everything in a vintage Roland TB-303, and add features like an additional mod envelope, more knobs for greater control, and excellent metal build quality. But they were rare, expensive on the secondary market, and hard to find. Some people have waited half a decade for delivery.

Until now.

Made by a complete 303 madman deep in a laboratory under strictest of top-secrecy and tightest guarded listening chambers, this digital version gives you everything you could ever want, then goes a little further with more programming modes, tweakable settings for slide/glide and resonance, Devil Fish mods, adds all the filter cartridges (even your own!) new colored skins, and the should-be-patentable EZ buttons. Also included for analog authenticity is the db-cell technology, adding pure analog noise modulation for non-repeatability where it counts; in vintage circuits. Best of all: it matches the hardware through rigorous test harnesses, and countless hours of listening. If it didn't sound authentic, it wouldn't get released.

Thank goodness, it does.

ZEROBOY: a Zero-input mixer demo. This time with a beat!

video upload by manmade madman

"Sometimes, you just have to have a play!

Available now at store.denversynth.com"

ZEROBOY

Zero-input mixer. DIY noise artist's playground.
A digital no-input mixer: four channels, two effect returns that are full mixer channels in their own right, db-cell running as the board's own noise floor, and a live patch bay — everything you hear starts as the board's own hiss going round a feedback loop until it finds a mode. CASCADE feeds each channel into the next, wrapping channel four back to channel one; CHEAP/SOLID decides how hard the shared power rail sags and lets every channel modulate every other one through it.

ZEROBOY plugin GUI
Four mixer channels, each with seven selectable circuit topologies and Mackie-style 3-band EQ, plus a CASCADE that feeds straight into the next channel — channel four wraps back to channel one

Reverb and delay aren't send effects — they're two more full mixer channels with their own gain, EQ, and aux sends, already wired into a two-node feedback loop with each other

INFIDEL low fidelity DIY modular synth from DenverSynthLabs

video upload by manmade madman

"INFIDEL shown here put through its paces.
This is an intentionally non-musical demo to show the power and sound of INFIDEL. It gets loud. If you don't like it, good.
The point is, you've never heard a VST sound like this, ever.
What we make hasn't existed before.
So, stop chasing other people's sound, and make something that's your very own for a change.
With roughly 1/3rd of the available modules shown here, you can tweak until morning.
Just make sure you get some sleep sometimes!

store.denversynth.com"



"INFIDEL is a full modular synth built around one idea: every module runs its own cheap sign-magnitude DAC, at its own sample rate and bit depth, so the whole rack can sound exactly as broken as you want it to — on purpose. You don't have to earn that sound with a soldering iron or a twenty-minute boot sequence. Hit INIT FULL and you've got a working 47-module, 81-cable patch across four buses — lead, drone, texture, drums — before you've turned a single knob. Hit EZ on any module and it rolls a new setting that's checked to never go silent. Cables snap to the nearest free jack, drop onto an existing cable to insert a module inline, or swap one module for another while keeping every cable that matches by name. It's fast to get a sound out of, and it stays deep — a 53-module library and KEY-locked lo-fi clocking mean there's always one more place to take it.

- 53 user modules across Sources, Filters, Effects, Drums, Utilities and Logic — including an 8-model VCF BANK (CS-80, IR3109, SSM2044, CEM3320, SSM2040, STEINER, EMS DIODE, WASP) and effects ported from SpringBoy, BucketBoy, Thermion and Ironwall

- Every module runs its own cheap lo-fi DAC — RATE 1–32 kHz, BITS 2–16 — and KEY locks a module's clock to the last note played, so the grit tracks pitch instead of just buzzing underneath it

Roland D-50 vs D-110: Can You Hear the Difference?

video upload by Ian Dixon

"The Roland D-50 and Roland D-110 both come from Roland's late-80s Linear Arithmetic synthesis era, but do they actually sound the same? In this blind comparison I play similar D-50 and D-110 sounds side by side, including warm pads, Soundtrack, synth bells, electric pianos, synth brass, Fantasia/Fantasy style patches, and dual-layer sounds, then reveal which synth was which.

The D-50 is the classic performance synth behind so many iconic digital sounds, while the D-110 is the rackmount, multi-timbral workhorse built for MIDI studios. This test is about the real character of each instrument: the modulation, the shimmer, the effects, the PCM attack, and how close the D-110 can get to the D-50 in practice.
