Prophet~600 modifications

"Made some new end panels myself and I modeled them after Dave Smith Instrument's end panels that he uses on his 20th Century Prophets.

Basically I used thicker wood; 1'' Red Oak lightly stained Cherry. I think the thicker wood panels look more substantial and improve the overall look of the p600.

I also restored the white indicator lines on all the knobs with a Sharpie White Paint Pen."

"Description

♒ What you see is what you hear ♒

"Soundbeam is a beautiful app by Evil Window Dog. You’ll find yourself playing with it numerous times. "
-Beautiful Pixels

Soundbeam helps you see what everyday sounds look like and visualizes sounds you can't even hear!

Plug in your hands-free earbuds or a music instrument (time to blow the dust off those electric guitars) and get accurate measurements. You can always use the built-in mic.

We paired stylish controls and an old-school interface with high precision signal processing algorithms, creating a new way to experience sound.

Soundbeam is an audio analyzer that processes the input of your microphone in real time displaying it like a classic oscilloscope.

✰ Get a dose of nostalgia with Soundbeam now! ✰


Key Features:
✔ Spectrum and waveform views
✔ Gesture support for frequency range and magnitude levels adjustment
✔ Visualization controls
✔ ...and one more thing! Plug in your headset or guitar and watch what happens!

Controls:
• While in "spectrum mode", pinch the monitor vertically or horizontally to change frequency range and magnitude levels respectively. You can also pan the soundwave with one finger.
• In "waveform mode" pinch the screen vertically to adjust magnitude levels.
• Double tap on the screen to reset view.
• Tap & slide the intensity knob horizontally to adjust it."

Using electronics developed for NASA, this revolutionary instrument was unprecedented for its time. Starting off its life as a gorgeous FM synth, it evolved into a comprehensive workstation through subsequent expansions. Its emergence into the professional studio inspired many of the leading avant-garde artists and sonic visionaries to embrace its potential, including Frank Zappa, Chick Corea, Michael Jackson, Sting, Kraftwerk, Stevie Wonder, and Depeche Mode, among others. Fast forward to today : Once again inspired by the sounds of yesteryear, we at UVI have set out to construct our own 'beast'. The result is a comprehensive software suite comprised of 3 complementary digital instruments -- each fully equipped with a vast array of both cutting edge original sounds and classic presets. We've employed our trusted combination of advanced programming and meticulous sampling, using the best analog and digital gear, to bring the beloved vintage character of this workstation to a new generation of musicians and sound explorers. The result is an entirely new, comprehensive and intuitive luxury instrument, which we are proud to present to you - The Beast. Also included is the latest UVI technology, SparkVerb™, a highly advanced synthetic reverb that focuses on sound quality and musicality. From stratospheric choruses, to lush ambiances and to resonant unisons, SparkVerb™ gives you a huge palette and direct control over the patches. Add lush atmosphere to any of your configurations instantly! THREE DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS The Beast is comprised of 3 separate digital instruments: • Beast FMII An FM and additive synthesis monster: As a result of our combination of deep multi-sampling and integrated true FM synthesis module, this instrument offers a unique approach to reproducing these vintage sounds, allowing for subtle to extreme variation. • Beast Terminal With careful attention to historical details, the presets and sonic character of Beast Terminal traverse a wide territory. Ranging from acoustic to electric, they encompass the full sonic spectrum: from lush strings to strikingly bright brass timbres and beyond. • Beast Box Combining the best FM-synthesized percussion sounds with recordings of the deepest drum hits and percussion samples, Beast Box is a massive drum machine with an extensive library of over 1200 sounds. A diverse suite with a rich and expansive sonic range, The Beast embodies the timeless sound of vintage, luxury electronics. Recapture the past, and let The Beast inspire the sounds of your future. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ** None of the video examples, songs, and/or pictures, product name are affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by Synclavier or the owner of the trademark Synclavier®.

Built upon these core technologies, the new INTEGRA-7 gives musicians a gold mine of the latest SuperNATURAL sounds in a fast-access, fully stocked 16-part module. The powerhouse rack comprises a "greatest hits" collection of sounds from Roland's flagship keyboards and V-Drums modules, plus a coveted lineup from the legacy SRX library. It also introduces a new technology called Motional Surround, a 17-part ambience engine that lets you graphically control the distance and position of each part within 360-degree sound field. With the immense power of the INTEGRA-7, you can create amazingly realistic and detailed orchestral arrangements, immersive, spatial sounds, and beyond."

"ROLAND INTRODUCES THE INTEGRA-7 SUPERNATURAL SOUND MODULE

Los Angeles, CA, August 31, 2012 — Roland is proud to announce the INTEGRA-7 SuperNATURAL Sound Module, a next-generation rack unit that employs the company’s very latest innovations in sound technology. Loaded with over 6,000 highly expressive sounds (SuperNATURAL sounds, PCM sounds, and all 12 SRX expansion boards), independent SuperNATURAL acoustic, synth, and drum sounds, and much more, the flagship INTEGRA-7 brings a new realm of creative power to keyboardists and composers both live and in the studio.

With the development of SuperNATURAL sound and Behavior Modeling, Roland has blurred the boundary between acoustic and electronic instruments. Built upon these core technologies, the INTEGRA-7 gives musicians a goldmine of the latest SuperNATURAL sounds in a fast-access, fully stocked 16-part module. With the immense power of the INTEGRA-7, musicians can create amazingly realistic and detailed orchestral arrangements, immersive spatial sounds, and beyond.

The powerful rack module also comprises a “greatest hits” collection of sounds from Roland’s flagship keyboards and modules, and is loaded with SuperNATURAL drum kit sounds derived from V-Drums. In addition, the INTEGRA-7 introduces a new technology called Motional Surround, a 17-part ambience engine (16 internal parts plus one external part) that lets users graphically control the distance and position of each part within a 360-degree sound field.

Housed in a stylish and rugged metal chassis, the INTEGRA-7 is beautifully designed and built to withstand decades of use, whether in a studio or a touring road rack. The internal components are premium grade, including high-quality, low-noise D/A converters.

The INTEGRA-7 is equipped with multiple dedicated effects engines, so users don't have to worry about CPU load. Each of the 16 parts can have their own multi-effects and EQ, rather than sharing the same effects for all parts.

Across the INTEGRA-7’s front panel are dedicated buttons for accessing sounds and effects quickly, plus a large value dial surrounded by navigation keys. The LCD is easy to see, with adjustable contrast and brightness to suit the viewing angle and lighting conditions. A convenient USB memory port is provided for storing settings.

On the rear panel is an array of versatile connectors, including stereo XLR outputs, eight individual 1/4-inch phone outs, a digital (coaxial) output, MIDI IN/OUT/THRU jacks, and a USB port that supports audio streaming at rates up to 24-bit/96 kHz. For convenience and flexibility, input jacks for feeding external audio to the Motional Surround processor are provided on both the rear and front panels.

A custom INTEGRA-7 Editor app lets iPad® users control the INTEGRA-7’s synth parameters, part mixer, and Motional Surround remotely via the INTEGRA-7’s USB connection (using an Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit) or via the Roland WNA1100-RL Wireless USB adaptor. In addition, the app can be used for selecting sounds and reading/loading the 16-part Studio Sets. Also available is the Motional Surround VSTi Editor, which allows SONAR users to control and automate Motional Surround parameters from a plug-in within their DAW.

Roland’s new A-88 and A-49 MIDI Controller Keyboards are perfect partners for the INTEGRA-7. The SuperNATURAL mode button on the A-88/A-49 automatically assigns the INTEGRA-7’s most appropriate parameters to the mod lever, knobs, and D-BEAM for controlling the selected SuperNATURAL sound.
