VOYETRA 8 SYNTH WITH REV 4 SOFTWARE

via this auction
Note this is a re-listing of this auction. More shots and more info.
"Here's what Peter has to say: 9-11-09 'Your unit does contain the Rev 4 software which is better than the Rev 3 software, and that does make what you can call a 3.5, but this unit does not contain the Rev 4 digimod card. So, I think the best way to advertise this is as a Voyetra-Eight with Rev 3 hardware and Rev 4 software. You have all green circuit cards in this unit, which are the very best quality out of all the cards we produced back then. This is a good unit. If you want me to verify that with your potential buyer, have them call me. If they call me, I will present this unit in a very good light, because it really is very good. Remember, the only difference between a Rev 3 and a Rev 4 is that the Rev 4 is able to receive MIDI Pitch bend, MIDI Pressure, and MIDI Modulation wheel controllers. That is the only difference. This should be made clear to the buyer. Some people won’t care about these features. In fact, some will care more about the fact that it has the green circuit cards in it. This ensures more reliability.' Peter

Also included in this complete collector's package is: VPK-5 keyboard for which I was offered $300 last year, but turned it down to make this a complete collector's dream. Before sending the Voyetra to Peter for grooming, I tested the VPK-5 with the module and got the keys working easily, however, the last 4 lowest keys rather lost tracking somewhat but there is no way for me to test it now to see if the issues were in the module or with the VPK-5 which will go as is with the complete package. I still have all the special 3-pin patch cords and, I believe but not guaranteed without further delay, some 3 pin to 6 pin midi patch cords, hence, recalling it to be a full version 4, but... hey, it's been a long time... long enough to qualify as Vintage Mint... Also offered with the complete collector's package: original foot pedal, the original packaging, Rsv 3 manual by Freff, separate REV 4 manual, an original promo brochure, 6 original loading cassette tapes, patch cords, and paperwork that came with, other paperwork pertaining to Rev 3 and Rev 4."

Roland SH-1000 Oscillator Waveform


YouTube via rolandsh1000
"Just a short video showing the oscillator of the Roland SH-1000, their first synthesizer. This synth is interesting because it uses a common organ Top Octave 6-stage Divider chip (LM3216) to create the oscillator waveforms. These chips are fed by a high frequency clock and they generate all the pitches of a musical octave (ignore what I say in the video about the signal outputs being footages). These are then divided down for lower pitch generation and, to create various waveforms, the various divided-down signals are mixed via resistor and capacitor networks to shape various oscillator waves.

In this video, I focus on the sawtooth wave, since that's a simple waveform that is usually generated in an analog synth by repetitively charging then resetting a capacitor with a constant current, to make a very smooth continuous ramp. In the SH-1000, not only does the sawtooth waveform have "bumps" due to the mixed pulses/squarewaves, but the shape of the ramp is different at different footage settings.

Roland had experience with these chips in other contemporary devices: I have a Roland EP-30 that has (I think) 8 of these LM3216 chips. It also tries to synthesize saw-like waves, but the resolution for the saw waveforms that keyboard is much worse. So, basically, if my SH-1000's TOD chip goes bad, I have quite a few replacements at the ready! ;)"

Basic Vocoding with Photoshop


YouTube via Photosounder
"http://photosounder.com
http://photosounder.com/blog/2009/09/...
This is how to perform basic vocoding with Photosounder and Photoshop. The carrier signal (a saw wave) and the modulator (HAL 9000's voice) are turned into images using Photosounder. Then in Photoshop, the voice is vertically blurred as to fuse the different harmonics together, then it's pasted on top of the image of the saw wave by multiplication. The result is then loaded into Photosounder in lossless mode with the sound of the carrier as a reference signal, giving the vocoded voice as a result."

Metasonix TM-6 Multimode Tube Filter

via this auction

"Metasonix all analog multimode tube filter/pedal box in excellent like new condition. The Metasonix gear is all about uniqueness and this unit is dripping with it. It's got creamy and buttery character to the hilt. It's the only tube based analog filter available (from any manufacturer!) and sounds fantastic on synths, guitars, loops, bass, really anything you run through it. It's also got options for patching with CV (control voltage) gear. TM-6's are coveted and this badboy is very hard to find these days."

Sounds of the Juno 106 Song #1


YouTube via ShakerCuda71
"Ok, the sound quality was great until I uploaded onto Youtube and now its so bad I wanna puke. How do I get better sound quality?

All synthesizer sounds in this song come from a Juno 106. No individual effects used. I did use some EQ and a master effect to brighten up the sound overall.

It was recorded and mixed on a Korg D12. Kawai Q-80 used to sequnce. Drums come from an Alesis SR-16."
