Polyoptics: Octatrack Tryout #2 - Octatrack with op1 samples.

YouTube Uploaded by Axiomatick on Nov 19, 2011

"Slowly learning more about the octatrack. There is a lot of distortion in this one and be warned: it gets a little loud in the middle. I never knew how much millage you could get from the same set of samples."

just a tease

Only a sounddemo - weekend project - SSM2044 filter simplified for single 5V usage.

YouTube Uploaded by elohess2 on Nov 19, 2011

"Got some SSM2044 lowpass filter chips. They're often used in the 80. E.g. in the Korg Trident and in the PPG Wave 2. Got some cheap chips from china. And I added an arduino to my "workshop" toy "radio lala".

Sorry for the bad sound, something goes wrong during the recording."

Marsynth Video Candela 1_0

YouTube Uploaded by marsynth on Nov 19, 2011

"This is a rather blurry demo of the Marsynth Candela. I shot this a few months back, but never managed to get it online, but here it is; better late than never, right?!

This video just shows some sounds that the unit can produce on its own, as well as some while it plays with others. External sound sources include my stratocaster and my trusty pico paso by Bleep Labs.

More information on the Candela can be found here: http://marsynth.com/products_msc.html

Thanks for watching!

Waldorf Blofeld & XT Wavetable Deathmatch

suitandtieguy · Wavetable Deathmatch

"Microwave XTK in one channel, Blofeld in the other."

via Suit & Tie Guy:
"i had both of these instruments, the Waldorf Microwave XTk and the Blofeld, in my studio at the same time for a few days and decided to do a proper shootout of their pure wavetable sounds.

people can argue about their UIs, features, and filters until they're blue in the face for all i care. IMHO the Blofeld wins on all of these things, especially on filter quality, user samples, and actual playability of endless rotaries. however my issue was that what i want out of a PPG-derived wavetable synthesiser is the best current approximation of the raw 8-bit sound of the Wave Computer 340/360 instruments.

straight up i don't think either of these things totally nail it under scrutiny.

that said, comparing them to the old PPG stuff on pure wavetable terms is a bit like comparing the x0xb0x to a TB-303 ... yeah side-by-side you might be able to tell a difference but when it comes down to brass tacks they both sound great in a mix. i would definitely say there's more of a difference between these two wavetable synths than there is between the x0xb0x and the TB-303.

so anyway here's 38 minutes of rawdog wavetable madness, midi-synced for your pleasure. the first three and a half minutes are a patch i duplicated on the Blofeld based on a MWXTk patch i had made and liked. the rest of the time is spent blowing through wavetables on a single osc patch.

on the Blofeld i was able to completely bypass the filter. on the MWXTk i was not, i had to set the Fc high enough with not just the cutoff knob but also the envelope so that the filter had no effect on the sound. i was not happy about this, and i prefer the Blofeld's option to shut it off.

one channel is the Microwave XTk and the other is the Blofeld. no i'm not saying which is which for at least a week. please be my guest and make sweeping golden-ear generalisations about how one channel is garbage and the other is so perfect. that would be great.

One thing to note is the Blofeld allows you to pick a separate wavetable for each oscillator, while on the XT they share the same selected wavetable; you can of course offset each oscillator independently on each synth.

Using Percussa's AudioCubes with Zebra 2

via Percussa:

"We’ve already discussed how you can use them together with the Aalto synthesizer from Madrona Labs, but you can also use them to control the values of the XY pads in Zebra 2 as Mark Mosher pointed out at us earlier this week. Since every AudioCube has 4 sensors, you can control up to two XY pads using one cube! Can you imagine trying to turn 4 knobs all at the same time with your 2 hands? With the AudioCubes this is possible – your 2 hands can easily reach the 4 sensors placed around a single AudioCube..."
