via this auction

"In a 5U 19" Rack Mounting case, the Waldorf MicroWave XT is a wavetable synthesiser with 10 note polyphony and 8 part multi-timberal capabilities.

It has 256 user programmable sound programs arranged in 2 banks which can be combined in 128 Multi programs with up to 8 parts (split, layer or multi-channel) in each.

Each voice comprises 2 wavetable oscillators, ring modulator and noise generator, feeding into a mixer, two filters an amplifier and finally an effects unit. There are 2 LFOs and 4 Envelopes, an arpegiator and a modulation matrix that allows just about any parameter to be modulated by any source.

There are 96 wavetables made up from up to 64 waves per wavetable. It is possible to create your own wavetables using the built-in waves or upload your own waves via computer and a suitable editing program (not supplied).

There are 40 dedicated rotary controllers for all the most frequently used parameters and the rest can be accessed through a series of push buttons to allow editing of 4 parameters at a time through the large LCD display. This gives the best compromise between ease of use and the power of the modulation matrix.

The back panel sports 4 assignable audio outputs, PSU in, MIDI in Out and Through sockets and an audio in to allow external signals to be processed by the Microwave's sound shaping circuits.

Has V2.09 of the operating system installed.

Comes in the original box with PSU and manual."

Zvork Oberon Synthesizer for Propellerhead's Reason

Published on Jun 26, 2015 Zvork

"A presentation of some 20+ patches from the 300 of the Oberon Synthesizer factory sound bank. Oberon is a Rack Extension software synthesizer for Propellerhead Software's Reason DAW.
https://shop.propellerheads.se/produc..."

"The Oberon synthesizer has two oscillator sections and two filters. Each oscillator can be fed to one of the two filters or to both, in serial or parallel mode. These filters enable you to alter the timbre of your sound but are not the only mean to do so. Each oscillator can generate a number of different waves, from simple sawtooth and square to more complex metallic or robotic sounds. Each of these waves is in reality a wave sequence that can be played at different speeds.

Key Features
All the above could seem very classic if it wasn't for these following features.

Multi-point loop-able envelopes

Each of Oberon's four envelopes are defined by a user editable curve, with up to 16 points. These envelopes are furthermore loop-able, between the start and sustain point, with a tempo synchronization option.

Editable waves

There are two editable waves, or wave sequences, that the user can customize. For each of these wave sequences, two editable curves let you draw the shape of the start and end waveforms of the sequence.

Editable Filter response curves

n Oberon, the filters don't have predefined modes such as low pass, high pass or comb. Instead you define the filter response yourself, again with an editable curve. Each filter response can morph between two curves for even more dramatic and changing effects.

X-Morph between oscillators

This special feature lets you smoothly morph between two sound sources, potentially of different pitches and timbre. Morph between a pitch downed version of the same oscillator or between oscillator 1 and oscillator 2 for original transitions. The morphing effect can also be masked for certain portions of the spectrum if, for instance, you want to apply the character of one sound source solely to the high frequencies.

Unison and Octave virtual voices

To fatten your sounds, each oscillator can be virtually duplicated up to 8 times with a pitch detune. After that, if this isn't enough, another virtual copy of the resulting sound can be added to your final sound mix at an octave higher. As the term “virtual copy” coins, all this is extremely efficient on your CPU.

Timbre bend

If you are in need of metallic inharmonic sounds, this is the functionality you need. With it you can quickly bend your sound to mimic highly rigid strings, bells or quirky buzzes, in a predictable way.

Separate voice audio and gate outputs

On the back panel you will find 8 separate outputs for both stereo audio and CV gate. Individual voices can be distributed among these outputs.

Patches

Oberon comes with over 300 patches in all categories."

XS Synthesizer Tips and Tricks: Transposing Orb sequences with a MIDI keyboard

Published on Jun 30, 2015

"XS Tips and Tricks:
For all those who always wished the Orb could transpose its patterns using a MIDI keyboard, we show you one trick to get the same results. And also show a way that you can change the oscillator keyboard scaling to achieve alternative tunings, or create discord between the two oscillators.

AIRA Modular Customizer for iOS

Roland has just released AIRA Modular Customizer for iOS on iTunes: AIRA Modular Customizer - Roland Corporation

The app is free and will let you explore their upcoming modules, minus audio of course,  the app is meant to re-program the AIRA modules:

"With AIRA Modular Customizer you can fully re-program the internal signal path of Roland AIRA Modular effects. Compatible with TORCIDO, BITRAZER, DEMORA and SCOOPER, the AIRA Modular Customizer lets you re-patch an array of virtual sub-modules for complete control of each effect's signal path.

- Flexible and infinite signal path
You can fully customize the internal signal path of AIRA Modular effects with an array of virtual sub-modules. Saving and recalling patches is possible in realtime and you can even share patches with other AIRA Modular effect users.

- Variable virtual sub-modules
AIRA Modular effects include 15 virtual sub-modules with more available through future expansion.
They include:
LFO, ADSR, NOISE, SAMPLE & HOLD, RING MOD, FILTER 6 dB, FILTER 12 dB, TONE, AMP, MIXER, STEREO MIXER, CURVE CONV, GATE DIVIDER, TRIG TO CV DELAY TIME, MIDI CLOCK TO GATE

- Re-patch via audio signal
Connect the headphone jack of your tablet to the REMOTE IN jack on any AIRA modular effect module and you can customize the signal path in realtime. Make sure to set the volume level of your mobile device to maximum.

Please note the maximized volume level of your mobile gear.

*Compatible models: TORCIDO, BITRAZER, DEMORA, SCOOPER
*Make sure your model is updated with the most current system program. The latest system program and setup instruction can be found at the support pages at www.roland.com."
