Three videos below. Description via WMD.

"The WMD Gamma Wave Source is a dual digital wavetable VCO that can create millions of timbres using onboard digital 'effects'.

The Controls

1V/Oct - Pitch input, used with standard 1 Volt per Octave keyboards and MIDI-CV converters. 0-5 volt input.

Pitch 1 & 2 - Controls the relative pitch per channel.

WT 1 & 2 Select - Select the desired wave table from the chart. 256 are available, each producing a different sound. Click for the table chart.

Out 1 & 2- Oscilator section output, each puts out +-2.5V/ 5Vpp signal.

The Effects Section

The GWS has four effects pipelines. Two for each oscilator. The Routing table selects how the oscillators interact with the effects pipelines.

FX Select Knob - Pushing this knob in will select the column that the knob is adjusting. Turning it will adjust the LEDs in the select column and will alter the Routing or Effects selection.

FX Para 1 & 2 - These knobs control the FX parameter for the oscillator section. Each effect has a specific parameter that is controlled by this knob. Adujust to taste.

Para CV & Attenuation Knob - This is a CV input for modulating and controlling the effects on the oscillator. Press the WaveTable Select knob to activate CV control per oscillator section. The LED will light when CV control is active. The FX Para knob will adjust the center or edges of the CV control depending on the selected effect.

Effects Table - These are the available effects, they are all created mathematically using 8 bit processing. The result is generally lo-fi and edgy, but smooth fat sounds are also possible.

LPF - Digital low pass filter, mellows out tone
HPF - Digital high pass filter, removes lows for brighter tone
Sharpen - Similar to HPF, but more aggressive
Bit Depth - Reduces vertical fidelity of signal
Bit Flip - Collapses signal in on itself, adds harmonics
Sample Rate - Reduces horizontal fidelity of signal
Sample Kill - Kills samples at a rate set by Para knob.
Sample Polarity - Inverts the signal at a rate set by Para knob
A+B - Adds the OSC1 and OSC2 wave tables and outputs
A-B - Subtracts the OSC1 and OSC2 wave tables and outputs

Routing Table - The routing table is depicted by the red rectangle. If no LED is lit, then effects are bypassed entirely.

A | B - OSC 1 -> FX A | OSC 2 -> FX B
AB | BA - OSC 1 -> FX A -> FX B | OSC 2 -> FX B -> FX A
AB | B - OSC 1 -> FX A -> FX B | OSC 2 -> FX B
A | BA - OSC 1 -> FX A | OSC 2 -> FX B -> FX A
AB | Byp - OSC 1 -> FX A -> FX B | OSC 2 -> No FX
Byp | BA - OSC 1 -> No FX | OSC 2 -> FX B -> FX A
CycA | B - OSC 1 -> Cycle forward through FX A | OSC 2 -> FX B
A | CycB - OSC 1 -> FX A | OSC 2 -> Cycle reverse through FX B
CycA | CycB - OSC 1 -> Cycle forward FX A | OSC 2 -> Cycle reverse FX B
RndA | RndB - OSC 1 -> Random FX A | OSC 2 -> Random FX B

When cascading effects (Osc 1 -> FX A -> FX B) the first effect in the chain has its parameter set by the FX Para knob ONLY in the top routing mode (A|B). This is then saved so that the tone can be retained during cascading.

Cascading Sequence - Properly cascading effects requires this process:
Set routing to (A|B)
Set first effect in chain and adjust parameter to taste
Set routing to cascaded mode (AB|B)
Set second effect (FX B) to taste using FX Para knob

Adjusting the wave table will retain parameter settings for the first effect in the chain..."

POLIVOKS Soviet Legendary 2-osc's Poly Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Polyvox is a duophonic analog synthesizer, with a 49-note (F-E) keyboard. It was made and sold in Russia (then USSR). It features two VCOs, a noise generator, one LFO, a filter (low-pass and bandpass), and two ADSR envelope generators. VCO1 can be cross-modulated by VCO2. Each ADSR can be switched to auto-trigger, each with independent rates.The sound is quite rich and somewhat harsh and aggressive. This is more of a space-synth. You can be sure that you will have never heard the sounds this one can produce. It sounds like these old Yamaha CS-30's, but then fat filters like in Moogs. Polyvox comes with a lockable hard shock resistant aluminum case covered with plastic, also there are two plastic compartments attached to the inside..."

via this auction

"amazing PINK Korg Kaossilator. the original!

comes with a keyboard grid overlay installed that makes it super easy to find notes. great reference point for jamming out.

this thing is so much fun! lots of hidden tricks that you can find on the internet (like the 4 bar trick)

the sounds are great, it loops seamlessly. has leads, bass, acoustic, sound fx, drums, breaks. everything u would want.

runs on AA batteries so its great for on the go jamming. also great for sampling, sound sources."
Soundblox Pro Multiwave Bass Distortion w/ built in EQ via this auction.

"has separate volumes for clean and distortion.

TONS of different distortion modes. sounds sooo good!!

multiband distortion breaks your signal up into different frequency sections and applies the distortion to each band before recombining.

the sounds u can get out of this thing are wicked. fuzzy, synthy distortions abound. can do tamer stuff great as well.

6 presets, and a morphing function that morphs between two different presets (AWESOME!)"

Rheyne - "RheyneJammer" Lemur Template (available for free at Liine.net)


Published on Oct 9, 2012 by RheyneMusic

follow-up to this post

"Download this Lemur template for free at Liine.net, including the Ableton Live Session: http://liine.net/en/products/lemur/premium/rheyne-jammer/

A performance using the new "RheyneJammer" Lemur template, demonstrating how live looping can be mixed with the included instruments and audio clips. This video is part of a longer video on Liine's YouTube channel which contains a tutorial on the template. The full version of the video can be seen here: http://youtu.be/-_ax_BQxPTw [posted here]

The template is a combination of live looping with the included Ableton instruments as well as an audio input. In addition, there is a page dedicated to a new live jam never heard on YouTube or SoundCloud, which can be remixed with the included Ableton instruments. Everything, as well as the instruments, have already been mapped to the included Ableton Live Session. Audio input will be enabled as long as you have an audio interface with a line-in.

The only software requirements for this to work is Lemur on an iPad and the full version of Ableton Live. Wifi or wired MIDI is required to connect the iPad to a computer."

Phatt - No Way I'm XL - Another Voyager XL Production


Published on Oct 9, 2012 by MrRidgebackman

"Yet another Video of the Beast,

Best listened to with the volume up and Headphones or a decent pair of Speakers....

There is an attempt at humour for people liking Synth Porn, yes that good old fashioned love for all things Synth, regardless of what brand it is.

The music is all recorded live into Logic Pro 9 track by track, only the drums were sequenced. Bass, Phantom bass line and the twiddly bit to the left., apart from the drums, all tracks were recorded in Mono and panned. some processing as usual.

Yes the Guts and innards of my Voyager XL. Footage taken before I sent her away to be serviced. Hope you enjoy this one...lets see how many of you make it to the end...

The video is of me videoing the event where I am checking connections inside and pointing out to Moogmusic my findings, before I sent her away. I have to say, the guys and support at Moogmusic are excellent, well done guys for sorting this out, I knew you would anyway, but the support I got was brilliant.

Cheers Andy

Gangnam Style live performance on Quasimidi Sirius


Published on Oct 9, 2012 by Hanni13579

Original below.

"Somebody challenged me to do this. So this is for you, Final Draft. :P

I was just fiddling around with my Sirius when I suddenly had the idea: could a Gangnam Style pattern work on a 7-track-sequencer? So I fetched a MIDI file for the bass line (I was being lazy ^^) and created something funky. And it worked.
This is far from perfect and actually just for fun (the bridge could have been far better ^^). It took me 8 (eight) takes to record this because a lot of things have to happen in a very short time and very precise - and that takes practice. But I like how it turned out. For all in all three hours of preparation.

For those who don't know: the Quasimidi Sirius is a 1997 German digital synthesizer / 7-track-sequencer / vocoder ... thing. The song is based on two patterns (arrangement loops), one for the verse and one for the chorus. The first octave on the keyboard mutes / unmutes the tracks. The second pitches the three synth tracks. The last two are "normal" in playback mode.
The sounds are 100% Sirius and were directly recorded from its stereo output. The mixdown has been mastered and EQed. There's a light additional reverb on the synth recording, because it sounded too dry for my taste. The filter at the beginning was added afterwards using Logic's Channel EQ.

I know I need to shave.

All the sounds were taken from JayB's sound set for Quasimidi Sirius. Available on my homepage. If you want the pattern too, PM me.

Original track: Psy - Gangnam Style (Universal Music Korea)
Additional remake production: Johannes JayB Berthold
