Synful - Move over VL1 - Reconstructive Phrase Modelling

The Yamaha VL1 is considered to be the best when it comes to the recreation of traditional instruments. It uses physical modelling which allows a level of expressiveness not easily achieved with sampled based instruments.

Eric Linderman, who worked with Roger Linn, has developed a technology that takes expressiveness to a new level. This technology is called Reconstructive Phrase Modelling or RPM.
---------
Synful RPM Technology
Synful Orchestra is not a sampler or a sampler library. Synful Orchestra is not a physical modeling synthesizer. It is an entirely new concept in music synthesis. At the heart of Synful Orchestra is Synful’s Reconstructive Phrase Modeling (RPM) technology. This is the result of many years of research, several patents, and a lifetime of experimentation, design, and frustration with older synthesis technologies.

You can read more about RPM here.

I have never heard anything this natural coming from a synth before, software or hardware. The Yamaha VL1 is a beautiful, expressive instrument, but the Synful sounds like the next level. You will have to hear it to beleive it. The title link takes you to the Synful sight where you can find more including some unbelievable samples.

Here's a demo from Vogelscheiss via SynthSights: http://www.vogelscheiss.com/sound/062805_gulch.mp3

Clickable Cwejman S1 Page

Haven't seen this page before. It's on the Cwejman site. You can click on each model to see what it does. Pretty cool.

Sealed's New Yamaha DX21 Page

Sealed is at it again. Title link takes you there. Tons of info and some really nice samples. Enjoy. I never knew the DX21 had an analog chorus. BTW, if you haven't been to Sealed's Deep Synthesis Page, you owe yourself a visit. Tons of great samples.

Korg KPR-77 Analog Drum Machine

Title link takes you to shots saved for posterity. Click here for some samples off of Hyperreal.



From the auction:
"Real analogue drum sounds! All the way back in 1982 Korg released one of the first fully programmable analogue drum machines, the KPR-77. Later that year, Roland answered back with the TR-606 Drumatix (sister of the TB-303 Bass Line.)"

Surge VST

Via Harmony Central. Title link takes you there.



"SURGE is a new software synthesizer from vember|audio based on a modern subtractive architecture fed by multiple oscillator algorithms which together provide a wide range of sounds."

Cwejman S1 Mk2 Samples via Vogelscheiss

Via AH. Some interesting and exotic samples. Trippy...

These are by no means fancy demos but as the Cwejman S1 Mk2 seems to be by
and large mysterious in the analog world I thought it might be fun to post a
little something:

http://vogelscheiss.com/sound/101505_cwejman_demo_famished_dog.mp3
Cwejman with Stylus RMX. Delay is PSP Audioware 608 Multidelay.

http://vogelscheiss.com/sound/100505_cwejman_demo_pseudo-pumptiness.mp3
All Cwejman. Delay same as above.

I'll try to do more demos later on. It really is a warm and great-sounding
synth.

Shiny Minimoog on the *bay

Click hear for the auction. Title link takes you to the shots saved for posterity. Check out that shiny faceplate.



Google Translation:
"And now the Clou: This mini acts has a shining front plate (looks like plexiglass on shining metal - > chrome? See photos). After information of the previous owner it concerns a special model. The inscription is identical to black the according to standard control panel. Beyond that the Pitchbend wheel possesses a suspension, it jumps back thus automatically into the zero-position."
