MEET NODES: A MODULAR FX RACK PLUGIN

video upload by Okay Synthesizer

via Okay Synthesizer

"We're excited to share something we've been working on: Nodes, a modular FX plugin that just launched in early access.

Here's what makes it different: instead of being locked into a single effect chain, you get 55 nodes and counting—24 modulation sources and 29 effects—that you can wire together however you want. Sound design on steroids. We've also baked in our Eurorack LFO Lowstepper and mutable instruments modules, so the creative possibilities are basically endless.

The best part? It's a one-time purchase ($50 right now, down from $100). No subscriptions, no hidden costs. The price holds until version 1.0, when we're adding Linux support and more.

We built this for sound designers and producers who love tweaking, but the macro system makes it live-performance-friendly too. And because we're an active developer team that actually listens to community feedback, this thing is only going to get better.

It's CPU-efficient, works on Mac and PC now (Linux coming at 1.0), and honestly—you can build anything with it. Grab it here: https://okaysynthesizer.com/nodes"

Modern Sounds Pluto - Ambient Soundscapes

video uploads by The Pedalboard Orchestra

"A collection of long ambient tracks based on the Modern Sounds Pluto Semimodular Synthesizer and various effets pedal setups."

Playlist:

1. Modern Sounds Pluto Synthesizer – Ambient Demo & Sound Exploration

These are my first "ten minutes" (okay, the video turned out a few minutes longer 😉) with the Modern Sounds Pluto semimodular synthesizer.
🎧Headphones recommended for the full sonic experience.

In this small setup Pluto is accompanied by three pedals, the Strymon El Capistan v1, the Chase Bliss/Goodhertz Lossy and the Eventide Space in ModEchoVerb algorithm, all in stereo.
Pluto, this tiny little box, is such a fascinating and inspiring instrument. You can get a million and more of sounds out of it.
I love how the filter of Lossy changes the overall mood of the sounds.

100 Oberheim Expander/Matrix12 single FX patches by Arthur Springer

video upload by Really Nice Audio

"So whilst on soak test I came across this crazy bank:
Notes from the .txt
ART SPRINGER STRIKES AGAIN (free)
Reviewed by Mike Metlay

All right, gang, I know what you're expecting in this space, so I'll oblige you and get it over with. Ready? Here goes: "WAHOOLAZUMA! Everybody's favorite twisted puppy is back from the audio torture chamber, and he's brewed up the most brain-slashing package of monstrous elektronoyze EVER! This stuff's great for warping your brain patterns, killing your cat, etc..."

Okay. Happy now? Good, now let's get serious. I heard from Art recently that he didn't get a terribly good response to his first mailing, and that few, if any, XUG members looked him up for his second set of patches

He seemed in a pretty good humor about it, but I couldn't help wondering if my presentation of his patch set didn't scare a lot of people away just by the wording. So, with a new patch set from Art (more diverse than the first two) in hand, I'd like to try again.

One of the most unhealthy trends I see in today's patch-editing software is the patch randomizer, that cute but overused utility that generates random patches at the click of a mouse. Literally thousands of these random patches are being sold by unscrupulous hackers as "original sounds," and a whole new generation of MIDI morons is springing up (pardon the pun) whose idea of "good programming chops" is the ability to tweak a randomly generated sound into something that (almost) works. No program of this type exists yet for the xpander, and I'm glad of it: the lack of computer-generated garbage on the market forces the user community to seek one another for new ideas, rather than some electronic I Ching. We come together in this Group to share ideas and learn from one another and I believe that studying another human being's work beats watching a computer coughing up random numbers. Which brings us to the music of Art Springer.

In my opinion, these patches are important. VERY important. I get so enthused about Art's work because I see in him a reflection of my college days, when I puttered about with ARP and Buchla modular monsters creating sounds for the sheer joy of it, putting together tonalities never before heard on Earth rather than trying to make a realistic shakuhachi. This was, and often still is, the meat and potatoes of electronic music to me. And when I hear Art telling me that people- Xpander users!-are returning his work because it's "too weird," I know something's wrong. The Xpander isn't a sampler or a digital piano. It's not an imitative instrument by nature. It's a powerful, multiply interfaceable modular synthesizer with a great deal of flexibility. Art Springer takes a stance on its use that no other Group member has had the courage to try: using its Power as a CV percussion device to enhance the sounds of his more traditionally oriented synths. (By the way, Lionel and I are big fans of his music ... it's not as inaccessible as you might think, and the odd tonalities make his dance pieces a lot of fun.) This is a new idea to a lot of you, and I don't blame you for being frightened. But it's better to learn from someone whose ideas differ from yours than to convince a computer to feed you something safe. I'd like to suggest something simple to start with: get one of Art's sound sets, trigger your Xpander with your drumbox, and try writing music with these sounds as part of the atmosphere rather than conventional drum noises. Or do something completely different. The important thing is to try to expand (hm) your horizons to something new. These sounds of Art's do take getting used to, but I think you'll learn a lot from them. Trust me."

It's Independence Week and while I had intended for this to go out on the 4th itself, I put a bit more work into something special for you which delayed it a few days. I hope that's okay with you.

I wanted to give everyone a status update on how things were going over here and also offer a couple of specials to celebrate. Out of respect for the dozen or so people who have been patient and trusting of me I'm going to let you know how things are going and then share a few cool deals.

Mozart? On Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 synthesizer & groovebox?! #TTNM

video upload by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Yeah, okay, this was a test how difficult it would be to program actual notes from another music piece into Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 sequencer. Turns out the various sequencer editing modes make this not very hard at all ... it's quite convenient actually, especially with the step recording mode, which I seem to have criminally neglected in the past.

No samples or analog filters in this jam, only the LD3's internal synth sound engines and effects.

1976 Paia Model 4700 Analog Modular Synthesizer Deep Dive

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Mears

"A deep dive on this rare, and synthesizer almost 50 years old. I've spent countless hours restoring it, and am very pleased with the results. It can produce a wide range of sounds, thick and beefy baselines, pillowy ambient textures, fat analog drums and so much more! This video covers the features of the synth, detailed shots and explanations of the restoration and internal components as well as a ton of high quality audio recordings of the various sounds this synth can produce.

Here's where you can find a whole bunch of great info about this synth: https://modularsynthesis.com/paia/470..."

via this auction

"Really neat vintage synth, in great working condition. I restored it electronically 3 years ago, and have only used it in my home studio. I'm the second owner, and acquired it directly from the original owner whom purchased it in the 1970's, I believe it's from 1976. I have a bunch of paperwork for the synth somewhere, if I can find it(I'll try, it's buried in boxes somewhere!) I'll include it as well. It's worth noting that during the restoration, I preferred to keep the synth as original as possible, but electronically stable, and to make a 50 year old synth as reliable as possible. It includes and uses the original "pin" cables, so neat & rare. That being said, it's still a very old synth, from the early days of modular synths, when slight changes in mains voltage and temperature variations manifested themselves in "interesting" ways. I'd assume that the purchaser of this synth understands that and doesn't expect the oscillator tracking and tuning stability to be similar to modern synths. Please watch the Youtube video I created for this synth, which goes into great detail about the synths condition, and should answer any questions you have, and give you a clear idea of what to expect if purchasing.

One last thing, this will have to be sent in 2 boxes, and the synth is fairly heavy(each piece is 11kg on it's own). The shipping rate on the listing is not representative of what the actual shipping cost will be, so please if purchasing, expect that the shipping rate will be higher than indicated on the listing. The calculated shipping on Ebay doesn't accommodate multi-box shipments unfortunately. Feel free to contact me for a shipping quote, and if you purchase, please wait for me to provide you with a quote before sending payment. I'll do everything I can to keep the shipping cost as low as possible, but also make sure it arrives safely.

Thanks!

Yamaha CS-01 Analog Synthesizer 1982

video upload by Jonasan

"The CS-01 is an interesting synth. It came out around a time when analog monosynths were mostly being phased out for DCO based polysynths and digital synthesizers. After a little under a decade of compact synthesizers for musicians being available from japanese companies an analog monophonic synthesizer was cheaper to produce for a novice level musician at the time. Synths like the CS-01 and SH-101 from roland as well as the M-500sp from korg were all offerings that basically were these companies slapping tried and true designs into plastic boxes for affordable prices. These days all synths from this time are equally as pricey but the CS01 is still fairly affordable and has some good tones to offer. Its actually not really a VCO synth but a digital oscillator with analog filters and low resolution envelopes. This was the trend of the early 80s budget synths. The Saw and Square waves are pretty standard stuff but sound very good and the the weird 12db filter with switchable high and low resonance while groaned about online by losers is perfectly functional as i demonstrate here. The ADSR is very sensitive and okay? Its my least favorite part of this synth. The real special part of this synth is its PWM. Its FAT, set to a low footing and its insanely deep and set higher and it does soaring singing leads very well. These things seem to have largely been passed up by the reverb scalpers and the youtube influencer reddit effect. I see some going for $400+ which is hilarious. You should try to snag one as if you wait any longer there might not be any vintage analog synthesizers left you can buy under $800+. Also this little thing while looking like a toy actually is a wonderful instrument! Excuse the sloppy noodling i was not myself while recording this one. I try to show a variety of tones! They were apart of a producer series that yamaha offered with a drum machine, mixer, 4 track cassette recorder and some other items intended to get a musician off to the races! I own the drum machine of that series and will make a follow up video on it soon. A mkii version was made with a 24db filter with the resonance switch changed for a slider in 1984 but i havent had a chance to try one.

Specs:
1 VCO - triangle / saw / square / pulse / PWM
Sine waveform
1 ADSR envelope gen"

If you have chosen to purchase, read on... Once you receive your vintage Memorymoog, power it up and after 10 minutes, press, "AutoTune." Then when the procedure is finished, start playing the keys... You will NOT hear voice #1. It's dead! ...or if anything at all, it makes a sound 3-4 octaves high. OK, keep playing notes and you will notice that you will only slightly hear Voice #4, as the filter seems to be closed, HOWEVER, there is a solution... Until you can re-calibrate and service this unit, simply press, 'C' then press, '4', then press, ENTER. The display will ask you which voice to bypass. Press '1' (for voice 1) then press ENTER. Now you'll be in 5-voice mode. Then repeat for voice 4. You'll get it! Very easy!"

A fishy speedpainting ambient music video! Made on the iPad Pro #TTNM

Published on Dec 26, 2018 The Tuesday Night Machines

"Okay, people. Here’s another Apple Pencil 2 painting time-lapse video, this time of a kitschy fish, with a new ambient music synth jam as audio track. Take a break and relax to this experience ;) This video was created entirely on the iPad Pro. MORE INFO BELOW!

---------

PixelNoises Synth T-Shirts by The Tuesday Night Machines:
https://shop.spreadshirt.com/pixelnoi...

Gear used:
- iPad Pro 11“ 2018 with Apple Pencil 2 and a bunch of Apps:
Procreate (drawing and timelapse)
LumaFusion (video editing and export)
AUM (audio routing, recording, mixing and lots more)
Volt (expressive synthesizer)
Tardigrain (granular synth)
DM1 (drum machine)
Axon 2 (drum machine)
various audio FX Apps
YouTube (video uploading and sharing)

This was a test if I could create a music video entirely on the iPad Pro without a “computer” involved, and it worked out incredibly well. As you might know, I’m a big fan of AUM for the whole audio and synth thing, so that wasn’t anything new to me. Video editing however was something I have never done before on the tablet and using LumaFusion for it was amazing. It’s no Final Cut X of course (my NLE of choice, since I decided to drop Premiere Pro), but it does offer a lot of features and controls that are good to work with. Unfortunately it doesn’t allow HDR mastering, but that’s a pretty special request for any software still ;) I have the feeling that I could do anything I need on mobile devices now and I will explore this workflow further with a little bit of new gear too, because I obviously want to continue to create videos with real-life footage of my synthesizer jamming. Drawing is fun though, even if that Apple Pencil 2 still behaves a bit weird ... I figured out that the magnetic edge on the iPad and/or Pencil 2 doesn’t always realize that the stylus is attached and won’t charge it then. This was actually the reason for the problem I wrote about in my previous speedpainting video.

Questions or comments? Go ahead and post them below! :) Thanks for watching! Check out my channel for more Synthesizer Music.

The Oskitone OKAY Analog Squarewave Synth

Oskitone OKAY 2 from oskitone on Vimeo.

http://www.oskitone.com/product/okay-2-synth

This one is in via @deejayiwan. Originally $180 on Oskitone's website, it is now available for $60 on Tindie.

Monophonic, analog, square-wave synthesizer with 2 octaves of keys and octave divider

Monophonic:
Only one note at a time can be played. This is opposed to “polyphonic,” where multiple simultaneous notes can be played.

Analog:
There are no computers, microcontrollers, sound samplers, or anything digital involved. The sound you hear is the sound of a speaker being abused by discrete electronic components like capacitors and resistors and logic chips.

Square-wave:
When its output is viewed on an oscilloscope, its wave resembles a square. It’s a “hard” sounding wave type, great for bass lines, and commonly associated with chiptune music and old video games.

This is the OKAY 2 Synth DIY Kit, and it's just like the original OKAY Synth but now features two octaves of keys and a 1/4" audio out jack. Assembly required. Includes the PCBs, electronics components, and assembly guide.

If you have your own 3D printer, you can print the enclosure, keys, and all the other non-electronic parts yourself. 3D model STL files are available on Thingiverse.

If you want 3D-printed parts included, please note that they will be printed on demand. These orders typically ship within one business week.

Under the hood, it’s powered by an LM555 timer (astable mutlivabratory), CD4040 ripple-carry binary counter/divider (frequency divider), and an LM386 power amplifier. All are the standard circuits you'll see diagrammed in their datasheets.

Monophonic with high note priority
Six selectable octaves and one octave of keys
Satisfying "clicky" tactile switches
Built-in amplifier and speaker
9v battery required, not included"

Jožka Říhák plays the ELEKTRON - 83 drum machine / synth

Published on Jun 15, 2015 Peter Kirn

"From Brno, CZ - Synth Fest 2015, hosted by Bastl Instruments / Noise Kitchen. A one-of-a-kind instrument from Communist-era Czechoslovakia."

This is the ELEKTRON - 83 posted here. We now have some additional details on this unique system via CDM: "The Elektron-83 is the creation of Jožka Říhák, legendary in Moravia as a genius electronic instrument builder. His Syntezátor – 83 Unisono went into production, but the ELEKTRON – 83 is one of a kind. We got a live performance and demo/ explanation of the creation at Brno’s Synth Fest hosted by Bastl Instruments and their new Noise Kitchen shop in the Czech Republic.

And this thing is simply amazing.

First of all, it does so much that Jožka – now into his 70s and mostly retired from playing – was worried he wouldn’t remember everything he’d made it do. It’s really an early rendition of a workstation/arranger keyboard. It’s part organ, an analog synthesizer with loads of timbral variations. It’s also part drum machine, with a rich analog sound set that might be as at home accompanying techno as playing Czech folks songs. And it’s part effects box, with various additional processing onboard or accessible via a set of stompboxes he also designed.

It’s when you look closer at the design that you begin to realize how deep the rabbit hole goes. Some of the controls are obvious: okay, those are drawbars. But then the drawbars are augmented with switches, and knobs, and combinations of switches “unlock” other features, and then you find more knobs and more switches augmenting the other knobs and switches. If there was a spare bit of panel, he added a control. If he ran out of space for controls, he kept adding functionality anyway, by using combinations of additional switches and knobs..."

MonoMiK - Analog meets digital

Published on Mar 19, 2015 Michael Kukat

"It's been a while since my last video, especially since my last video about the MonoMiK. This monster project was boxed for several years and didn't see power because i was busy writing an operating system for it and didn't have lots of spare time in general.

Okay, i also got distracted with other stuff that i can do with this operating system like SD card to SCSI adapters, MFM to USB bridges and some other crazy shit :)

But finally, the basic bits are there and i decided to switch back to this project. Working on it since several weekends, today was the moment to put the new digital control part together with the existing analog synth stuff.

The MonoMiK is a real analog synthesizer, just the control part is digital. So you have all those knobs for changing the parameters, they don't go through the CPU, they are directly connected to the synth modules. But you can still store them by some tricky override mechanism. At least this is planned.

To avoid tons of switches for waveform selection and configuration of the routing matrix, there is a touch screen with a GUI where those controls go. And here, you see the first test of how those things work together. It's the prototype of what will get a PCB during the next weeks.

Using circular DMA and some fancy tricks on the STM32F207, this generates 80 analog control voltages without using any CPU power, i plan to control oscillator synchronization using the STM32 timers also, which allows very fancy features for this synchronization, there is a lot more to come.

I hope you don't need to wait too long for the next part. Just wanted to say i'm back :)"

I created a new MonoMiK channel label for these moving forward. A quick search on MonoMiK will bring up previous posts.

New Behringer Synth Rumors

The image to the left is Uli Behringer's first synthesizer, the UB-1, previously posted here and here.

It looks like the new Behringer synth rumors are back, and this time it appears it could actually happen.

The following is from a German interview with Uli Behringer on Amazona.de (translation from sonicstate).

"Several interesting facts came out:

1. Behringer have been working on reproducing a number of classic analog circuits

Uli- We have not been idle in recent years and have invested a lot of time in the analysis legendary synthesizers from Roland, Korg, Moog, Sequential Circuits, ARP and PPG etc.The Curtis and SSM then used semiconductors are today virtually no longer available and we have therefore used a lot of time, to replicate these with modern and high quality VCA and OTAs. And now us is that finally succeeded. These circuits will now form the basis for our synthesizer.

2. It's a polysynth

My personal passion is to bring the original and analog synthesizer back to life, but to provide them with modern digital control. To anticipate, we will also focus on first polyphonic sound generation, as the market requires this.
Our goal is, as usual, to reward customers with extremely good quality and very good prices for your loyalty to our company. I am of the clear opinion that today's analog synthesizers are simply too expensive and that we are trying to change.

3. It's going to be developed in the UK

For a project of this magnitude, we are integrating our best developers. We will make it in England, in Manchester, directly at MIDAS. A member of the team John Price is the among the best analog designers in the world and can have over 40 years experience.

4. Okay, awesome - when can we buy it?

Uli goes on to say that this is a pretty massive project and as such will not be rushed,
Even though we are all now very euphoric, I would like to slow down expectations a bit and ask all readers to be patient. We have spent quite some time in the research and development of semiconductors, will take at least another year until we have completed the first prototype, we are operating basic research and also invite well-known scientists and musicians to collaborate on this project , We also do not plan A synthesizer, but gradually a whole family of different types."
