'Smash the Machines' featuring Hexdrums, Nightverb & DB-01

video upload by Richard DeHove

"A one-take song featuring Hexdrums, Nightverb and a DB-01 from Erica Synths. The entire thing was played in live switching patterns on both machines. No overdubs and editing restricted to cutting it down from five minutes to about three. Of course the vocal samples were added later - they're from the 1930s movie 'Heroes for Sale'.

Routing is Hexdrums stereo out to Nightverb stereo in. The Hexdrums compressor is cranked and Nightverb is on a very aggressive gated reverb. The DB-01 is raw as you see it. There was no further processing of the sound in the DAW.

Originally I'd intended to program both machines in song mode so I could play with the sounds a bit more but had to abandon that idea because I wanted to switch off Hexdrums and play the 'reset' button. Hitting that instantly restarts the pattern quantized to the clock speed. A fun feature but not usable in song mode. I also played with the solo function which was fun, just picking out a single sound in a pattern.

Although the DB-01 seems to have a slight echo it's actually the LFO giving a little rhythmic cut to the release.

I was very tempted to start multitracking in a higher riff and EQ and distort the DB-01 but in the end raw is best."

"Offered here is an early production Moog Minimoog Model D, serial #5233, from my smoke-free recording studio, where it has lived for roughly the past twenty years.

This instrument has been featured extensively throughout my own work, appearing on many albums over the course of my 20 year ownership. Prior to that, it belonged to acclaimed Portland keyboardist Ramsey Embick, who toured internationally with The Pointer Sisters during the 1980s using this Minimoog, and performed on recording sessions for artists including Jo Bisso, Alfonzo, and others. Several touring-era modifications performed during his ownership remain intact and are described below.

This is not a museum piece... it is an honest, professionally used early Minimoog with decades of musical history. The front panel remains exceptionally clean and highly legible, all keys play well, and the instrument retains its original character while remaining a fantastic sounding and inspiring synthesizer."

Erica Synths Razornator: Review and Demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Erica Synths Razornator is the 4th 112dB collaboration FX unit and it's a resonator like no other. In this hands-on walkthrough I build an entire track (strings, dubby stabs and thunderous bass) from nothing but short pulses of noise fed into its Karplus-Strong like resonators. If you want to know what the Razornator actually sounds like before you buy, this deep-dive demo is for you.

The Razornator packs 10 resonators (five stereo pairs), a resonant low-pass filter, +24dB of input gain, a built-in compressor and an envelope follower — all fully MIDI controllable. Originally a 1983 Karplus & Strong algorithm for plucked-string and percussive tones, Erica Synths and 112dB have turned it into a wildly flexible tone-generation and sound-mangling machine. I run through the signal path, the root/offset tuning, the gorgeous presets by Eraldo Bernocchi, and push it hard with synths, hi-hats and kicks. Resonator, but not as we know it."

23:00 Final Thoughts



"A unique stereo FX unit with an algorithm developed by Dutch company 112dB, the Razornator features 5 chromatically tuned resonating delay lines that can emulate the resonance of physical objects - bodies of instruments, rooms, structures. Chromatic tuning of the resonating delay lines makes the effect particularly musical, because it allows for aligning them in chord-like intervals, while the built-in envelope follower adds dynamics to the processed signal. Featuring 12 parameters for detailed sound design, save/recall functions for all parameters, MIDI control over all parameters and a sleek aluminium case to match our lineup of compact desktop units, the Razornator will let your setup take flight in any live show, studio or sonic experiment.

The Razornator combines several well considered and tuned “modules” for stereo audio processing with the aim of altering the harmonic content of the incoming signal. The signal path starts with an audio GAIN STAGE that boosts signals up to +24dB (it can effectively act as an analogue overdrive), then the signal is fed through the lowpass FILTER with a RESONANCE control and after filter treatment it passes through five chromatically tuned DELAY-BASED RESONATORS that can be manually tuned or controlled by the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER. After the resonators, the signal is summed and limited by the COMPRESSOR, then mixed with the dry signal and passed through the EQUALIZER and finally is sent to BALANCED OUTPUT stage.

UDO Audio DMNO Binaural Dynamic Synth Review - SonicLAB, Sample Pack

video upload by Sonicstate

Superbooth videos mentioned posted here.

"In this SonicLAB, we look into the @udo_audio UDO Audio DMNO, an 8-voice polyphonic binaural analog hybrid synthesizer with dynamic signal architecture.

The DMNO is sonically different from the Super Series, featuring a grittier, more aggressive sound. With dual synth engines, though each DMNO integrates the familiar Super DDS oscillators and custom wavetables and both support both stereo and binaural modes. With 8 voices total, when running two DMNOs in Binaural mode, in split or layer, that will reduce the voice count to 2.

The oscillators can cross mod and route with plenty of audio rate modulation , the LFO 1 also can run tracked and in Audio Rate mode too.

There's lots of configuration, routing and drive with the stereo analog filter, these have multiple modes, stereo, parallel and series routings with Frequency delta between each 'side' of the filters for some lovely formant and vowel like articulations.

Mod matrix has 7 slots plus two fixed routings for wheel and envelope velocity - perhaps the selection of source and destinations could be increased if the FPGA pathways allow for it, and it would be nice to see FX parameters as a destination at some point.

With EQ, Chorus and Drive per DMNO and a shared Delay/Reverb on send, there's some decent additional sound sculpting to be had.

Priced at £2,599, this synth gives an alternative to the other synths in the UDO range"

VIVALDI - Summer Part 3 on SIX (5) Arp ODYSSEYS

video upload by Richard Payne

"Vivaldi's Summer Part 3.

Pretty hectic, this last chapter from Summer! Lots of 16th notes rattling along at the same time. Took a bit of programming to whittle it all down to these 5 monophonic parts. Then I slowed the tempo quite a lot compared to most of the recorded versions I've listened to.

Pretty chuffed with how it turned out though. I added a bit of Reverb from Arturia's LX-24 but other than that there was no EQ or processing.

Odyssey #3 should be home from the repair shop before too long so I can finally retire that colour photocopy ..."

Oberheim Xpander 6-Voice Synthesizer [US Version] w/ Flight Case SN G43214

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"Legendary Oberheim Xpander 6-Voice Synthesizer desktop module. This is the highly sought-after US Version (with jack labels printed ABOVE the jacks).

[Condition & Operation]

* Operation: Great working condition via MIDI. I have confirmed that the unit receives MIDI and plays audio correctly from both the main outputs and the individual voice outputs (tested and confirmed working via DIR mode).

* Tuning / Calibration: All 6 voices successfully pass the auto-tuning (ALL PASS) without requiring a long warm-up period. As with many vintage Xpanders, the tuning can be sensitive to temperature and may occasionally show a minor FAIL, but it clears and passes successfully once warmed up.

* Buttons & Knobs: All buttons and knobs respond and work. Please note that due to its vintage age, a few buttons may occasionally have a slightly slow response or require a firm press, but they all register properly.

* Display: The VFD display is clear and fully readable. There might be minor cosmetic or pixel imperfections due to age, but it does not affect readability at all during operation.

Macbeth Elements EL2 Analog Synth By Ken Macbeth SN 015

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"Up for sale is a super rare Macbeth Elements EL2 analog synth, hand-built by Ken MacBeth back in 2019 in extremely limited run of only 30 units, as said by himself - the best ever analog synth he ever built in his life… Described by him as “Elements on steroids, circuit wise”. Please do not mislead this with a regular silvers Elements - EL2 is one of a kind the way different unit. It features a striking black aluminium chassis, gold plated touch up keyboard and a very deep vintage style circuitry using through-hole components and 70’s vintage new old stock semiconductors and metal ICs. Three highly versatile discrete voltage controlled oscillators with individual audio outputs and advanced sync capabilities, classic architecture with subtractive signal path featuring unconventional filter slopes, a built-in spring reverb and a tape echo simulator. All this mixed up with a wide-ranging modulators and large tactile potentiometers for deep sound sculpting. Also, Ken decided to completely remove MIDI support making the priority to CV: he noted that most musicians use the instrument with Control Voltage and modular setups anyway. Removing MIDI parts freed up physical space and optimised the pure analog circuitry. VCO1 and VCO2 now get their own knobs instead of sharing just one. New spring reverberation circuit in EL2 provides a much deeper, different sound than the first model. Cross-modulation expanded as well: VCO3 syncs to VCO2 and VCO2 can now syncs to VCO1 directly. Of course, inspired of the legendary EMS Synthi, but ones you came across both in one room - you will definitely can’t choose which one is better here. EL2 will be never produced again and it’s already a holy grail in the world of analog synths. This exact one is number 15 of 30. Comes with the original power supply. Everything you can see in the pics is included in that sale. Was a beloved studio toy, but now it’s time to go! In excellent overall and technical condition. Please see all pics cause they are a part of description. Free shipping within the US from Brooklyn, NY. International shipping from Brooklyn, NY to any place in the world with a tax free service."
