Roland SH-7 Ringmodulator Melody

Published on Nov 19, 2014 Magnus Gladén

"Just bought a Roland SH-7. It has been a dream for me owning a SH-7 since the first time I laid my eyes on her... I was 17 years old and just got Internet. :D I've seen a few SH-7's in really bad shape but the one I found is in mint condition. :D
I don’t understand people complaining about the filter… I think it sounds great."

MOOG SOUND LAB | CHVRCHES

Published on Nov 19, 2014 Moog Music Inc

"Scottish trio Chvrches (pronounced Churches) came into the Moog Sound Lab to re-imagine their song “The Mother We Share” off of their 2013 album The Bones of What You Believe.

Lauren Mayberry sings through an MF-104M Analog Delay while manipulating the filter cutoff on a continuous arpeggiated line with a Little Phatty. Iain Cook uses drum triggers to play percussion with 6 Minimoog Voyager Rack Mounts, and uses a Sub Phatty in the song break. Martin Doherty poly-chained 4 Slim Phattys and controlled them with a Little Phatty as he handled the bass and chords throughout the song.

Tape Op Interview with Tony Rolando & Kelly Kelbel of Make Noise Music

Tape Op has an interview with Tony Rolando & Kelly Kelbel of Make Noise Music.

There are some interesting bits including how Tony got started in the world of building synthesizers  at Moog Music.

"Tony: I'm completely self-taught. About ten years ago I went to the library and dug up every book I could find on analog circuit design. I wanted to know how synthesizers worked. I started trying to build stuff. Most of it didn't work immediately, but eventually I figured it out.

So from there, what was your first job in this field?

Tony: Moog Music. We went to Asheville to visit some friends, and the Citizen-Times headline was that Bob Moog had passed away. Kelly thought they might need some people, and encouraged me to call. They said they might be hiring, and we arranged an interview. They just put me in a room with a schematic, pointed at stuff, and asked me what it was. It was pretty simple. They just wanted to see if I knew anything at all. I passed the test, so they gave me the job. I learned a lot about building electronic instruments there.

What was your job there?

Tony: Moog was still really small. The Little Phatty hadn't come out yet. I did warranty work and service for stuff that failed right off the production line. I ran the Voyager quality control line for quite a while. There were only 20 people there back then. People had many jobs, so I even worked in shipping every once in a while. Moog was just a warehouse at the time. There were a couple of windows in the front, but once you got inside, there was no sign of daylight! I worked there for about three years. The current space is really beautiful, with big windows.

Kelly: Everybody's got to start somewhere. The last Make Noise space was 400 square feet with really weird carpet and one window. It was really stuffy, and we were all on top of each other. We were only there for a few months."

Primal Audio Announces FM4 For iPad

Published on Nov 19, 2014 Primal Audio

"Primal Audio today announced FM4, a new FM synthesizer for iPad modelled on the popular 1980s Yamaha DX series.

Great care has been put into analysing and replicating inherent sonic characteristics of the original hardware, such as internal quantisation errors and digital-to-analogue conversion. The interface is carefully thought-out, with every parameter being available on a single page.

FM4 is simple to use, yet capable of producing a multitude of sounds, ranging from punchy basses, crystal-clear bells, and lush pads, to organic textures, striking drums, and piercing leads.

Here are some audio demos:



Highlights:

o) Four operators configurable via eight different routings
o) Three sound engines modelled on 1980s hardware units
o) Eight waveforms derived from classic FM synths
o) 2x, 3x, and 4x polyphonic unison
o) Tempo-syncable arpeggiator with up, down, up-down, and random patterns
o) Microtuning with eight different temperaments
o) Supports Inter-App Audio, background audio, and MIDI (support for Audiobus is planned)
o) Up to 24 voices of polyphony
o) Import/export presets through iTunes
o) Works on all iPads supporting iOS 7.0 and up

Visit www.primal-audio.com for more information.

FM4 will be available on the App Store December 2014 at an introductory price of $0.99 for a limited period of time.

All product names used are trademarks of their respective owners, and reference to these here in no way constitutes an association or affiliation with Primal Audio. All trademarks are solely used to identify the products whose sound was studied during the development of FM4."
