"From Yamaha:
The hot new DX200 is a programmable desktop sequencer with a return to Yamaha's legendary sound of FM synthesis. Based on the classic DX7, an authentic 6-operator FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesis engine sits at the heart of the DX200, bringing back the famous sounds of the DX-series synthesizers. Taking a few clues from the success of Korg and Roland's desktop sequencing synthesizers, the DX200 is a realtime 16-step sequencer (groove-box) designed for musicians and DJs alike! On top of that, the DX200 is fully compatible with DX7 System Exclusive MIDI data for downloading DX7 patches into the DX200, and vice-versa!

"From Sequentix:

Cirklon is a multi-track hardware sequencer, designed to be at the heart of your hardware MIDI, analogue or hybrid studio setup.

Continuing from where our P3 Sequencer left off, it retains the P3's unique step-sequencer capabilites, and adds an event-list pattern type ideal for polyphonic synth and drum parts, with event-list and drum grid editing.

The user-interface is based around a 240x64 pixel graphic LED display, 19 rotary encoders with push-switches, 2 assignable knobs, 35 high-quality Cherry keys with integrated LEDs, and a further 35 tri-colour status LEDs.

Cirklon has up to 64 tracks, user-configurable as 1 to 4 banks of 16.

There are 5 independent MIDI INs and OUTs to connect a large number of controllers and synths/sound modules while keeping MIDI latency to a minimum.

There is USB MIDI connectivity for DAW synchronisation, soft-synth control or MIDI pass-thru from a PC, and a DIN Sync output which can also be configured to connect an upcoming multi-channel analogue percussion trigger interface.

The 32-bit, 72MHz ARM Cortex CPU runs a proprietary sequencer engine to ensure optimum timing accuracy.
All MIDI ports are provided by hardware serial ports in the CPU core itself.

Pattern storage is comprised of 2MB battery-backed internal RAM, with internal flash and an SD/MMC card socket for data backup."

Roland Juno 6 Vintage Analog 61 Key Synthesizer SN 276667

via this auction

"The first in a series of amazingly affordable quality synthesizers from Roland's amazing Juno family! The Juno-6 is a six voice polyphonic analog synthesizer! It's a very stable synth thanks to its digitally controlled analog oscillators. The Juno-6 sounds great, however it lacks basic necessities like MIDI control and patch memory storage..."

Polyphonic Aftertouch on Oberheim Xpander

"How to play with Polyphonic Aftertouch on Channel Pressure "only" synths. You need a synth with multi patch support like the Oberheim Xpander, Studio Electronics Code 8 and Alesis Andromeda."

Orbital moves

"It took a long time but, okay, a new track. There are some recording mistakes at the end due to to loud input. The video is not made during the live recording but afterwards, you can see that the sequencer (the Doepfer Dark Time) is still running. At this moment I am very busy creating new music and recording the sequences in the Roland D5 groovebox because I want to perform live with audience. All the gear was used for this track, but I was inspired by the DX27 clock sound (it starts wit that sound). I loved the DX family dispite a lot of people who dosn't because its not phatt in sound.

Enjoy listening

Votan Telepathy - iOS to Audio Unit Cross Platform Synth with Cloud Syncing



iTunes: Votan Telepathy - iXimix

Similar to Audulus iCloud Patch Sync, Votan Telephathy allows you to share sounds between iOS and Audio Unit counterparts.  You can also share patches with friends.

"Votan Telepathy is a groundbreaking multi-purpose synthesis engine harnessing cutting edge technologies with traditional sound sculpting techniques. The power beneath Votan Telepathy is based in its cloud and communication platform where you can create sounds and instantly share with friends and colleagues.

The Votan Telepathy synthesis engine is also available as an 32/64 bit Audio Unit plugin with the iOS app acting as an ultra low latency touch controller for multiple instances of the synth in your favourite DAW. You can create new sounds on your iPad, that magically appear in the Audio Unit to be used in a professional DAW environment.

**Votan Telepathy Synthesis Engine**

*Oscillators:
4 x Free Range Oscillators with Band-limited alias free Virtual Analogue waveforms. Free-range means they can be unlocked from key frequencies, and then used intelligently as audio rate modulators for FM and Ring Modulation. You can also morph between the different wave-shapes (Sine, Triangle, Sawtooth, Square).

*Filters:
4 x Multi-filters with traditional Virtual Analog(Moog Ladder, MS20, TB303 emulations), Digital IIR and Formant Phase filters, 2/4 Pole with standard filter types Low Pass, High Pass, Band Reject, and Band Pass.
In depth internal filter routing between the filters, with Parallel, Series and Stereo Split.

*LFOs:
4 x LFO's with transitional and morphing wave shapes.

*Envelopes:
4 x Envelopes, standard ADSR, Filter and 2 x assignable envelopes.

*Modulation:
6 x Modulation Matrix Slots for extensive modulations

*FX:
4 x FX Slots with Delay, Distortion, Chorus, Flange, 4 Band EQ, Decimator, and Glitch algorithms.

*Performance Control:
4 x XY Pads, with direct assignment of ALL parameters for in-depth performance control. You can trigger notes directly from the Pads.
User assignable Keyboard with key selector(select the keys you need to play, not the rest)

*Binaural Beat Generator:
Votan Telepathy has been built with binaural synthesis in mind. You can assign each oscillator to play through Left or Right channels to create binaural beats with extended synthesis capabilities. The system can create all brain frequencies from 0.01hz up to megahertz. Get experimenting with the invisible frequencies of the mind.

*Votan Telepathy Audio Unit:
Votan Telepathy is also available an 32/64 bit AudioUnit and is a direct mirror of the iOS app and fully compatible with all presets. Your preset library is synced over all devices and apps.
Imagine the power of being able to create new soundscapes on your iDevice, then they magically appear in the DAW work session. Tweak sounds on the fly, then polish them into your productions.

*Votan Connect:
The iOS app of course can also act as a touch controller for the audio unit offering almost zero latency control of multiple instances of the audio unit plugin. Totally integrated synthesis and control like never seen before.

*Votan Cloud:
The Votan Cloud is a powerful integrated Preset Management System. Users can create soundscapes and store them in their own device or in the Votan Cloud. In the Votan Cloud patches can be instantly shared with other users. The VotanDSP team will be in constant creation of new sounds so they will be instantly available for all users of the system. You can chose to make your preset library public or private.

iPad 4+ recommended for iOS synthesis.
iPad 2+ for controlling the Audio Unit.

New Oakley Stereo Ensemble Project SE330




"The raw sound is a simple sawtooth waveform from u-he's DIVA soft synth. The output of DIVA is fed out of the DAW and into the SE330. The output is SE330 is then fed back into the DAW for recording."

This is the raw sawtooth from DIVA at 0.01

The Dimension mode - light sinewave modulation and deeper triangle wave modulation at 0.09

Stereo mode - slightly dry with triangle modulation only at 0.30

The raw sawtooth dry and then fully wet in quad mode for that vintage string sound at 0.50

Vamped filtered chords and played through the SE330 in the dimension mode. at 1.17

Slow attack and release but still the same raw sawtooth input. This time on quad mode with both triangle and sinewave modulation. at 1.33"

via Oakleysound on electro-music.com

"Just to let you know that I've got a new PCB project available. This is based on the topology of the four stage stereo ensemble circuits of the VP330, RS505 and RS09. It also has modes to simulate other chorus and ensemble units.

It's not a clone but simply my version using currently available parts. However, it's a big project and is really designed to go into a 19" rack.

There's a selection of sound samples here:

http://soundcloud.com/takla-makan/oakley-sound-se330-stereo

More information, pictures, builder's guide and sound samples at the usual place:

http://www.oakleysound.com/se330.htm

It's designed to accompany the Oakley HVM which recreates the human voice tones of the VP330 and Lambda.
