Korg MS-20M - the second sighting

"Now the SQ-1 is used for sequencing, does it very well :-)
A little bit H9 Reverb was used, nothing else.
The video is in 3 parts, the part 2 and 3 are going a bit more the 'modular way'..."

"The Rad-Fi system is here
http://bleeplabs.com/store/the-rad-fi...

The Rad-Fi patchable Synth kit has with two independent Arduino based synthesizers. Each with:
○ Includes all the parts you need in a nice plastic compartment case. Does not include breadboards or power supply.
○ MIDI input for control of pitch, amplitude, and waveshape.
○ Two outputs, one for pulse, one for triangular waves.
○ Analog inputs for pitch, amplitude/fold, and wave shape.
○ Digital inputs to adjust dual voice mode, noise modes, amplitude envelope trigger and more.

A separate analog oscillator and is also included.

Altair Sequencer Project - How I did it - Episode 1

How I did it - Episode 1 from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.

"The day has finally come! The first episode is here!

In this video I will demonstrate how to turn the Altair 8800 into a digital sequencer (it could do MIDI out with a few more code inside Max). The Altair communicates with my Mac with a Serial to USB adapter. All the Altair code was written under CP/M 2.2 using Word Master word processor, ASM Assembler and Load program.

The code basically outputs 8 notes and a rhythm pattern. All the notes are in MIDI note number values (see for example line 0113h. The rhythm pattern is a 1byte binary number that works as a gate for the steps of the sequence.

In the next episode I will develop the concept further and get some polyphony.
As soon as the max patch will satisfies me, I will publish here the patch and the code to make music with your Altair, clones and originals.

Any question, comments and critics may be addressed to me by sending a mail (see contacts page on my website) or commenting the vimeo video here:) .
Thanks for watching and see you on the next episode!

http://www.synthrotek.com/products/ms...

"The MST Noise/ Sample & Hold / Track & Hold Module supplies you with all the noise and random goodness you need in one small 4HP package. White, pink, and slow-random noise are just a patch away. The white noise is normalled to the signal input or input your signal of choice and break the normalled connection. To activate either the S&H or T&H, just supply the module with your clock source to start generating stepped random control voltages.

Features:

White, Pink & Slow Random Noise Output

S&H sample signal input

S&H clock input

S&H or T&H output

Sample & Hold / Track & Hold select switch

Specifications:

Current draw: TBD

Width: 4HP Depth: 4.8 cm (1.88 in)"

MST Voltage Controlled Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) Synthrotek Demo Video

Published on Feb 20, 2015 synthrotek

http://www.synthrotek.com/products/ms...

"MST Voltage Controlled Low Frequency Oscillator is another tiny, useful module packed to the gills with features. Manual and CV control over rate with 3 discrete waveform outputs. A square wave can be used to clock modules such as our Noise, Sample & Hold module. Great for creating vibrato, tremolo or other classic modulation techniques. Great for frequency modulation, especially when connected to the MST analog VCO.

Features:

Voltage Control rate input with attenuator control

Manual rate control

Slew/Symmetry control

Positive and negative LED indicators

Square, triangle and sine wave outputs

Specifications:

Manual range: Approx 51 Seconds to Approx 102 Hz

Time with Max range, +5V CV: 1,450Hz

Time with Max range, -5V CV: 1 Hz

Time with Min range, +5V CV: 2 Hz

Time with Min range, -5V CV: 1.5 Hours

Skew range, all waveforms: 14% to 86%

Current draw: V+ max 11.75mA, V- max 12.2mA

Width: 4HP, Depth: 4.8 cm (1.88 in)"

KORG ARP ODYSSEY (2015) vs. ARP ODYSSEY MK.III (1978) comparision test

Published on Feb 19, 2015 RetroSound

"(c) 2015 synthesizer demo by RetroSound

comparision demo KORG ARP ODYSSEY (2015) vs. ARP ODYSSEY Mk.III (1978)

Here is the A / B comparison test. It is very important to say that compared to my old ARP Odyssey Mk.III from 1978. The synth is 100% technically ok, calibrated and in practically in mint condition.

On the new KORG ARP Odyssey are three different filter types (Rev.1 to Rev.3) available and only filter type III is used here in the test. The owner manual for this filter is to comply with the 24 dB/oct low-pass filter (filter 4075) of the Odyssey Mk.III. Furthermore, the Drive function of the new ARP Odyssey is deactivated because it is not this the original. In order to maintain absolute equality, the audio samples were recorded directly via the same audio input without any external effects, compressors or equalizers and then recorded on HD.

In the audio examples, it was not aware of keyboard acrobatics, the focus was more on the key features of sound production as basic sound of the oscillators including pulse width modulation, the filter, ringmodulator, the VCO sync function and especially the speed of the envelopes to make a meaningful comparison to get.
If the old ARP some sounds louder sounds than the KORG, then is that the result of all the parameters.
For example, the sound filter in position III thinned at a high response from KORG out much more and loses its foundation as the old Odyssey MK.III. On both synths is the VCA fader on top position. The sound of the new KORG ARP is more clean, especially in the bass spectrum. The old ARP is a bit noisy and sounds a bit more organic.

some sounds are sequenced over cv/gate with the Doepfer Dark Time step sequencer."
