Erica Synths and Moritz Klein Introduce EDU DIY FM Drum Eurorack Module

via Erica Synths

"Introducing an FM Drum circuit that fuses analog punch with metallic tones of FM synthesis. This DIY kit offers a wide range of sounds for your patches, from kicks to toms, metallic clangs and more – a great addition of versatile, rhythmic elements to your system!

We – Erica Synths and Moritz Klein – have developed a series of educational DIY kits under the brand name mki x es.EDU with one specific goal in mind: to teach people with little-to-no prior experience how to design analog synthesizer circuits from scratch. What you’ll find in the box is not simply meant to be soldered together and then disappear in your rack. Instead, we want to take you through the circuit design process step by step, explaining every choice we’ve made and how it impacts the finished module.

NB! All kits in these series are simple and come with extensive user manuals which can be downloaded separately, therefore we will not provide customer support in case your DIY build fails to function or similar."

"While trying to fix a broken TR-909, I came up with a DIY analog FM Drum circuit that combines the punchy character of the 909 with the metallic textures of FM synthesis. It comes with four different modes:

• 909-style kick/tom
• Metallic bell/gong
• Ring mod cymbal
• FM cymbal

The FM Drum is the final drum voice in my DIY drum machine series (for now). If you want to build along, here's the bill of materials:"

Tubbutec Introduces Brainstep Controller

video upload by Tubbutec

via tubbutec

"Brainstep Controller is an expander for our Brainstep eurorack module. While it is possible to change Brainstep’s envelope and LFO parameters using the menu, Brainstep Controller creates a more direct, hands on approach.

The 25 sliders let you control most accent, ADSR and LFO parameters. Additionaly, the glide time can be controlled.
How to connect

Brainstep Controller is a specialized MIDI controller using TRS-A input and output jacks. A stereo jack cable needs to be used to connect the controller’s output the Brainstep’s TRS MIDI input.
MIDI data coming into the controller’s TRS input is merged with the controller data and sent to Brainstep. This way, no MIDI input is lost when using the controller.

Visualizing parameter changes
When receiving data from the controller, Brainstep can display the currently changing value on its display. To turn on this feature, go the Brainstep’s configuration menu and select Misc->Display->Overlay timeout. Here, you can set the number of seconds the value is shown, or turn this feature off.

Sunday Jam #49 : Steamdrunk again (Amiga)

video upload by MIDI IN

"A couple of weeks ago I set out to use it to make a track from some sounds I recorded [see this post]. I finished that in Logic Pro because of time but have now finished the Amiga (Octamed) version.
Here is the original .med file:
https://peacockmedia.software/misc/st...

As mentioned in the video, it was saved by Octamed 4 and can be opened for editing in that application. Any music player on an Amiga or emulator should play it. There are tools that will play this format on modern computers. VLC can usually play .sid and .mod but sadly doesn't play this one properly on my Mac. I found foobar2000 did render it properly with the openMTP plugin."

Prophet X add-on Memorymoog | Download now!

video upload by Espen Kraft

"Prophet X add-on pack with Memorymoog samples and patches.
The Memorymoog is considered to be one of the greatest synths of the 80s. Fat, lush and very powerful. It's also extremely very fragile and expensive.
I've recorded and sampled the very best out of this synth, personally, and made it available for the Prophet X.

The price for this add-on is $15USD (or €15Euros if you're in Europe) and I think this is well worth it.
I will only sell these add-ons (more are on the way) directly through email. My CONTACT email address is this: espenkraft69@gmail.com
If you want to purchase this pack please send me an email and I'll give you instructions on how to order. This has worked great for the previous PX packs.
If you want a bundled (discount) price for multiple packs just let me know.

Included in the download are 36 samples and 35 patches to help you get going and what you hear in the demo video is coming from this pack. All the patches are made from individual samples, but these are NOT multi samples. All the patches are made from time-stretching the samples. I've done it like this to mimic the sound and feel of 80s samplers. Because of this I've also included a written patch sheet where the patches and corresponding samples are detailed with their stretched keys and frequency. That can come in handy if you want to edit the patches.

Oberheim TEO-5 INHALT Synth Demo

video upload by INHALTVIDEO

"Following up from my work on the beta development and sound design on the Oberheim OB-X8, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the next Oberheim synth would be the TEO-5. Unpacking the beta unit revealed a beautiful and cleverly designed 5 voice analog synth that simply sounds amazing.

The size of the TEO-5 is absolutely perfect for world wide gigging and the sound is a sort of best of Oberheim with a modern twist. That modern twist doesn't exclusively come from the excellent FX processor on board, but also from the interesting modulation options and ranges. While you can push the synth into harmonic and saturated zones, it still, like all Oberheims remains one large sweet spot.

Don't be fooled by the smaller size and voice count, there is nothing small about the sound and capability of the TEO-5. Not to be missed.

Please note this recording is of a beta development unit running an early firmware. The sounds featured here are the patches I made for the shipping factory bank that comes with the synth straight from Oberheim.

Recorded at Infinite Power Studios, Los Angeles. All patches by Matia Simovich/INHALT. Video edited by Grover Greenberg."

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Oberheim - TEO-5

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024 we met up with David Gibbons from Oberheim who introduced us to the new TEO-5 synthesizer. Named after Tom Oberheim with an exclusive reveal of Tom's middle name, the TEO-5 has a SEM filter, two oscillators and a sub giving that classic Oberheim sound, but with lots of features to bring its capabilities right up to date.

Chris Calcutt then stepped up, and gave us a demo of the sound of this synth. TEO-5 gives us 19 mod slots with tons of destinations, both a mono and a poly LFO, two envelopes and a capable twin FX section. Uniquely there is a cross-mod section with thru-zero capabilities, which allows FM modulation that stays in tune up and down the keyboard.

With a similar form factor to the Take 5, the TEO-5 has a 3 and a half octave Fatar keyboard with aftertouch, and is designed to give the Oberheim sound in a more portable and affordable package

TEO-5 Available: July 2024. Price: 1,499 USD

"A Quick Look any the new Oberheim TEO-5 - named after Tom Edison Oberheim - there was a leak a few weeks back but it's here in the flesh.. and nice it is too.

Its got the same form factor as there Sequential Take 5. The big addition is obviously the Oberheim filter, and a through zero FM - so it looks like it has the new SSI chip.

Anyway.. just a Quick Look.. enjoy:)"

Introducing the New Oberheim TEO-5 Polyphonic Synthesizer

TEO-5: The Legendary Oberheim Sound Reborn in a Compact Powerhouse

San Francisco, CA – [May 16, 2024] – Oberheim, the venerable brand synonymous with the golden age of synthesizers, proudly announces the TEO-5 polysynth. This powerful instrument features the visionary craftsmanship of Thomas Elroy Oberheim (TEO), offering a perfect blend of classic analog warmth and modern versatility for today's musicians.

“I’m so proud to be able to make a synth like this... compact and affordable, the Oberheim sound for 2024,” says Tom Oberheim, the company’s founder. TEO-5 is designed to make the classic Oberheim tone palette widely accessible, encapsulating decades of analog engineering experience in a forward-thinking and innovative musical instrument.

The TEO-5 boasts a five-voice architecture with genuine analog VCOs and VCFs, capturing the distinctive warmth and depth that defined countless hit records. But TEO-5 isn't just a tribute to the past. Additions like through-zero FM, which adds a contemporary twist to its oscillator X-Mod feature, allow for the exploration of entirely new sonic textures. And the legendary Oberheim SEM filter returns, offering the versatility of morphing between low- pass, notch, and high-pass configurations, along with a switchable band-pass mode for extensive tonal shaping.
Beyond its core synthesis architecture, TEO-5 features a comprehensive modulation matrix, opening a world of possibilities for sculpting and transforming sounds. Digital effects processors provide classic chorus, delay, reverb, and more, alongside faithful recreations of the revered Oberheim Ring Mod and Phasor effects. A 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator further fuel creative exploration, while a premium Fatar keybed ensures a responsive and inspiring playing experience.

“There was a huge surge of interest when Oberheim returned in 2022 with the historically inspired OB-X8,” said David Gibbons, CEO of Oberheim. “But Tom and the design team were keen to show that the magic of Oberheim can be within reach for everyone, and can bring a distinctive modern flavor. TEO-5 is an exciting addition to the Oberheim legacy.”
Whether you're a seasoned professional seeking a powerful new sonic tool or a budding artist embarking on your analog adventure, TEO-5 is your gateway to unparalleled musical exploration.
