Korg USA Mourns the Passing of Jack Hotop, Legendary Sound Designer and Innovator

Some sad news in via Korg.

You can find posts on MATRIXSYNTH featuring Jack Hotop here for a look back on his influence in the synthesizer community. The first post was a simple pic back in 2006.

Press release from Korg follows:

Over a 40-Year Career, the Influential Synthesist and Accomplished Touring Keyboardist Shaped the Sonic Architecture of More Than 100 Landmark Instruments, Including the Historic M1 Workstation

MELVILLE, N.Y. - Korg USA announces with deep sadness the passing of longtime employee, celebrated sound designer, and musical instrument industry icon Jack Hotop. Joining Korg USA (then Unicord) in 1983, Hotop started as Senior Voicing Manager and spent over four decades driving the development, sound design, programming, voicing, and product demonstrations for more than 100 Korg products. As a pioneering engineer and exceptionally skilled performer, his extensive contributions helped guide the evolution of synthesizers and digital workstations from the early 1980s through the modern era, leaving an indelible imprint on instruments used by musicians around the world and for generations to come.

Hotop’s foundational expertise was anchored in a rigorous musical and technical background. Raised in a musical family, he began piano lessons at age seven, inspired by his father, a musician featured on several Broadway cast recordings, and numerous pianists on his mother’s side. By age 14, he was actively performing in local bands on a Gibson 101 organ. He pursued formal training at the Berklee College of Music, majoring in arranging, composition, and accompaniment, before expanding into emerging music technology at the Boston School of Electronic Music under Roger Powell. It was there that Hotop established his core synthesis fundamentals using early hardware including the ARP Odyssey, 2600, 2500, and EMS Synthi, building a deep understanding of waveforms, envelopes, low-frequency oscillators, and modulators.

This one was spotted and sent in via
M Me.

One was previously listed on Vemia.

"Modified Roland TR-606 / by Filippo Samore / TR-608 > as used by Hainbach on YT [posted here].
The TR-606 in 808 territory and beyond, with tuning, decay and tone mods.

' This Drummachine is on a another level and is a lot of fun (you become very creative) '

' The mod is high-quality and truly enhances the sound engine of the 606
without compromising its handy form factor. It is almost like a TR-808 now,
except maybe a little more interesting, because it is still a charmingly shuffling 606 at its core.'

Examples:
Visit the phunkydesk dot com Domain / > the files after the slash (/) are as follows:
608_BD.wav, Loop1.wav, Loop2.wav
(there is no distortion/overdrive or clipping converters!)

The main modification in this revisited classic is the complete redesign of the kick drum circuit
with a lot of borrowed technology from the 808!

+ Kick: Tune, env Control, tone and decay.
You can also send the kick through the second output separately!
+ The Kick can also have "almost infinite" decay

+ Snare: same borrowed technology from the 808 but with an improved decay length.
It gives access to tune, snappy and decay.

+ L.H Toms: Tune independent from each other and cuts out the annoying noise present in their circuit.

+ Hi-Hats: Tune and decay, separate for both open and closed hats


++ Original Roland TR 606 carrying case
++ Device is serviced (while Mod)

++ Device checked in endurance test

"Grab the 505 String Machine here: https://soundpaint.com/products/505-e...

505 String Machine is the definitive ultra-deep sampled (UDS™) string machine. The most detailed sampling of the legendary RS-505 Paraphonic ever done.

The secret weapon of Vangelis. While the CS-80 became the icon, the RS-505 was the warmth underneath, equally present across his most celebrated work. Essential on records by The Police, Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Herbie Hancock. The string machine that shaped the sound of an entire era.

505 String Machine includes expertly crafted programs built from extensively UDS™ sampled parts, capturing every nuance of the original hardware’s divide-down oscillators and analog ensemble chorus. That constantly shifting, organic phase movement that makes the RS-505 impossible to replicate with synthesis is preserved in full detail. Expanded with our custom 505 C.A.F™ modeled filter for deeper sound design while staying true to its analog soul. The result is instant tone and deep creative flexibility.

"Ben Roidl-Ward: bassoon - Stelios Giannoulakis: EMS Synthi100
Free Improvisation at ΚΣΥΜΕ/CMRC, Athens 27 Nov 2025

A frequency-to-voltage converter and two envelope followers allow Ben's bassoon to drive voices from the synth, while Stelios radically adjusts parameters and adds elements with the joysticks, the faders, and the other controls. No other sources or effects were used.

Recognized by the Washington Post as one of the artists “changing the sound of classical music,” Ben Roidl-Ward stands out for his technical and expressive versatility. He is an Associate Professor of Bassoon at the University of Illinois and Principal Bassoonist in three symphony orchestras. He collaborates with the Ensemble Dal Niente and the Lucerne Festival and has participated in over 180 premieres. He studied at Northwestern, Rice, and Oberlin, mentored by prominent bassoonists. On 27 November 2025, together with the Composer Niki Charlafti, Ben visited CMRC to present the project Building Bridges. Stelios Giannoulakis is a Greek composer and engineer playing with modular and circuit-bent devices. While teaching Electroacoustic Composition and Creative Music Technology at ΚΣΥΜΕ, he has been fortunate to become familiar with the historic EMS Synthi100 analog synthesizer.

Playing Without a Map / Cyma Forma ALT

video upload by OoraMusic

"A performance and reflection on what it means to truly play.
In a world of presets, screens, and precision, this is an exploration of something more fragile — and more human.
Using the Cyma Forma ALT, a 5-voice analog instrument designed for improvisation, I move between structure and freedom, control and surrender.
This is not about building a track.
It’s about being present while sound unfolds.
Improvisation becomes a practice —
of listening, reacting, and letting go of the need to know where you’re going.
No presets. No fixed outcomes.
Just gesture, attention, and the moment."

Nonlinearity And Feedback

video upload by La Synthèse Humaine

New Uses for Old Circuits Series

"New Uses for Old Circuits is a series looking at linear and nonlinear processes in the modular system.

In this video we look at simple feedback systems and explore linearity and nonlinearity. We see how basic audio feedback through a linear system (basically a volume knob) can accentuate or attenuate what is already present in a sound. But sending the feedback through a nonlinear system transforms the sound into something else entirely."

Korg DW-8000 | 3 brand new patch banks for the price of 1

video upload by Espen Kraft

"3 brand new patch banks for the Korg DW-8000/EX-8000 and FB-7999 plugin.
Contact me on email and I'll even give you a little discount if you buy directly from me.
Or get them here: https://thepatchbay.io/product/korg-d...

Price is $15USD for all three banks which is a pretty sweet deal.

3 full banks of 64 patches each are included in the download. P11-88
Bank 1 Luxury Vanilla Bank - 64 different pads, strings, bells and other glossy and slick sounds
Bank 2 Bass Bang Bank - 64 different bass patches, many of them really cuts through a track
Bank 3 Adventurous Bank - 64 different many patches suited for more experimental electronica

The download comes with 3 sysex banks you can import straight into your DW-8000/EX-8000 and also the Full Bucket FB-7999 free plugin emulation of the DW-8000.
If you're using the FB-7999 exclusively I've also included the banks as *.FXB so you can have the benefit of the STEREO tweak parameter not present in the hardware. I have adjusted many of the patches for the FB-7999 to take advantage of just that. In the demo you hear only the patches coming out of the FB-7999 plugin, played from the DSS-1. All banks have been tested and verified on the hardware.
In the demo I also use some external effects, mostly so in the demo song in the beginning.
The drums (and NASA talking) in the demo song are of course not part of the download. All other patches/sounds are.
I have a video on my channel about how to get your sysex banks into a hardware DW-8000 and EX-8000.

Finally, as an arranger and producer, I make patches that are mostly meant to be used together with other sounds. How a sound or patch sound in isolation is rarely relevant. It's how they build up texture when combined with other sounds that is important to me.
Like in the Bass bank, many of the bass patches are meant to be part of the low end, together with a kick. That's why many of them might seem bland or plain in isolation, but put them into a production and layer them correctly and they'll give you a solid low end with definition, like the demo track. I use 3 different bass patches from this download to have that solid, slick yet defined bottom end."

Click the auction link on top when you get there for additional listings.

"Probably one of the best examples of the classic Studio 440 anywhere.
Sampler/sequencer/drum machine from Sequential Circuits, circa 1987. S/N 582. The present owner bought this from Wine Country in 2007. It has version 2.30 (SCSI) operating system by Pointsource, 512K RAM, 12-bit sampling, up to 35 seconds sample time (at 16kHz, max rate is 44kHz), 50,000 note sequencer capacity, 8-note polyphonic, stereo audio outputs as well as individual track outputs 1 to 8. And, of course, it has MIDI – very easy to sequence up other synthesizers.

Quite a lot of functionality in a single box and easy to operate. The Studio 440 is fairly rare (about 600 made through 1986, ’87) and considered one of the pioneering forerunners to the later MPC units of the nineties.

This unit is in excellent condition – the cosmetics are very good, with tiny scratches around some of the edges of the enclosure. The main panel paintwork, graphics, knobs and switches are like new. No known issues operationally. Disks load fine, sound configuration, sampling, sequencing and audio all good, menus look normal. Display backlight is good, all hardware good. An easy instrument to get to know and operate, and sounds pretty good for a 12-bit sampler. Includes original manual (NOS from Wine Country), some service data, a number of sample disks, head protector disk (this will have to be ejected following transit) and a survival kit consisting of 8 spare touch pads (unused), two NOS pots, one switch module, one I-624 voice chip. The mains connection is standard IEC socket. The buyer will have to acquire their own mains cord that suits their country and change the internal voltage setting if necessary (explained in the manual. The present setting is 230V).

Weighs 10kg. Unit measures approximately 60x30x16cm (including manual, disks and spare parts). Packaged up, will be maybe 10% larger and heavier. The item is located in New Zealand. Examples of approximate door to door air-freight shipping costs, including insurance, at the time of writing, are: UK/Europe, 300GPB/Euros. USA, $500USD (US tariffs may change at short notice). Australia, $250AUD. Costs to be confirmed upon sale. Importing customs charges and tax are buyers responsibility. You're welcome to find alternative shipping at your expense and risk."

It's Only Noise - Random Percussion with Sample & Hold, No Sequencer...just for fun #eurorack

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Messing about with noise and random voltages. This patch is just various noise sources through various filters, frequency-modulated by sample & hold, with envelopes controlling amplitude (VCA) or affecting filter frequency. No sequencer was harmed in the making of this video.

The ‪@solidstatelogic‬ BigSix is used to mix all 4 sounds, with the ‪@vermonagear‬ DSR-3 providing stereo spring reverb for the drone and occasional sound.

Video & performance by ‪@DreamsOfWires‬

Patch Breakdown:

Drone: This is just pink noise going into the FIXED FILTER BANK 914, but with an LFO from the DUAL RVG modulating the mix between the left and right bands of the Filter Bank, creating that slow, breathing effect. The AJH SYNTH 914 has built-in, voltage-controllable mixing/cross-fading functionality, which wasn't present in the original Moog 914 on which it is closely based.

Percussion 1: White noise going to the SONIC XV Diode Ladder Filter, using its band pass output. One channel of the DUAL RVG is sending random voltages to the Sonic's Filter Frequency/Cutoff, whilst a DH-ADSR envelope generator controls its audio level in the TRIPLE CROSS (being used as a triple VCA).

Percussion 2: This starts with noise generated by the LUNAR MODULE - this has 2 noise sources with different character and tone control, and built-in distortion. Its output goes to the MATRIX VCF, which has 16 different filter modes, which I cycle through manually during the video. See out User Guide video for more information: • NEW MODULE! MATRIX VCF User Guide - Vintag...

Occasional Sound: Here I'm using the SAMPLE & HOLD module to randomly trigger the MULTI BURST ENVELOPS module. The Colour control on the Sample & Hold determines the range of random voltages generated. It is a combination of Low Pass and High Pass filter over the onboard noise that is used to derive the voltages, so turning it anti-clockwise from the centre acts as a low pass filter, reducing voltages produced to be in the lower range, whereas turning it clockwise of the centre position acts as a high pass filter, meaning voltages in the higher range. Since it is generating lower voltages here, it is only occasionally producing enough of a voltage change to trigger the Multi Burst Envelopes. If I raise the Colour control it will trigger more often.
The Multi Burst Envelopes produces a chosen number of bursts of the selected envelope shape. The built-in LFO controls the speed of the bursts, as does the Clock input, but both can be used together or independently. I'm using it to control the frequency of the ENTROPIC DOOM's low pass filter, to generate an occasional burst of filtered noise."

Crazy Chicken Modular SHRIMPY filter musical demonstration

video upload by Fedir Tkachov Music

"Musical exploration of new eurorack filter by Crazy Chicken Modular - SHRIMPY."

Shrimpy is a fully analog multimode voltage-controlled filter with three simultaneous audio outputs: low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass. It was designed with a strong focus on character rather than neutrality.

The resonance is voiced to emphasize midrange frequencies, giving the filter a present, expressive tone that cuts through a mix. At higher settings, it becomes vivid and assertive without collapsing into thinness.

At the heart of Shrimpy lies an unusual distortion chain integrated directly into the filter core. This distortion adds a pleasant crunch, enriching the sound. When pushed further, it can turn glitchy and rustling, introducing rough textures and unstable edges that make the filter feel alive. It should be noted that the distortion sound characteristics will depend on the Shrimpy settings and the input signal, since distortion occurs in the filter core itself, rather than at its input or output.

All parameters are fully voltage-controllable:
Cutoff frequency (with and without attenuator)
Resonance
Distortion amount

This makes Shrimpy a flexible yet opinionated sound processing tool, well suited for experimental patches, aggressive basses, textured leads, drones, and evolving soundscapes."

Eliane Radigue Has Passed Away

Eliane Radigue - IMA Portrait documentary video upload by straypixel

Pictured: 1st image of Eliane Radigue on Discogs

Video description:

"Eliane Radigue

Her life journey has been remarkable. At the end of the fifties, she studied in Paris with musique concrète pioneers Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry, whom she also assisted, notably for the premiere of L'Apocalypse de Jean. During the sixties she began composing with primitive electronics (feedback and asynchronous tape loops), but found little recognition for her research in France.

In New York in the early seventies, she found understanding and emulation, exploring emerging minimalism with James Tenney, Charlemagne Palestine, Phillip Glass, John Gibson, and Steve Reich. Her absolute allegiance to electronic sounds began during this period. Since then she has composed on the best synthesizers of the time: Buchla, Moog, Serge, and then ARP, which would become her fetish instrument. She collaborated with Robert Ashley, who sang on Les Chants de Milarepa. She has composed about two dozen works, which she has presented and continues to present at numerous prestigious venues and festivals in the United States and Europe.

In 2004, upon Kasper Toeplitz´s request, she started instrumental compositions for one or more performers, with whom she works in a close collaboration during the compositional process. This work gets quickly focused on pure acoustic sounds, in an incredibly delicate timbral way, which extends, without aesthetic rupture, her electronic work. Notably between 2004 and 2009, she completed a cycle in three parts 'Naldjorlak', for Charles Curtis on cello, Carol Robinson and Bruno Martinez on basset horns. She has now stopped her electronic work."

"In Buddhism, the number 9 signifies spiritual completion, ultimate enlightenment, and the highest level of consciousness (the ninth consciousness, or Buddha nature). It represents the culmination of the path to Nirvana, the 9 virtues of the Buddha, and is often associated with auspiciousness, progress, and the 9 states of delusion (nine worlds)."

Some history on Eliane Radigue via Wikipidia:

"Radigue was born in a modest family of merchants and raised in Paris at Les Halles.[5] She later married the French-born American artist Arman with whom she lived in Nice while raising their three children, before returning to Paris in 1967. She had studied piano and was already composing before hearing a broadcast by the founder of musique concrète Pierre Schaeffer. She soon met him, and in the early '50s became his student, working periodically at the Studio d'Essai during visits to Paris. In the early 1960s, she was assistant to Pierre Henry, creating some of the sounds which appeared in his works.[6] As her own work matured, Schaeffer and Henry felt that her use of microphone feedback and long tape loops (as heard in Vice-Versa and Feedback Works 1969-1970) was moving away from their ideals, though her practice was still related to their methods.

Radigue's death was announced on February 24, 2026. Her cause of death was not stated.[7][8]
