How to patch a modular analog Synthesizer in an unconventional way!

Published on Sep 15, 2015 Ralph Baumgartl VLog

Unconventional for stand alone synths. The beauty of a modular is that you can essentially patch anything anywhere. In this video Bernie patches in spring reverb and a phaser in different locations in the signal path.

"Ralph Baumgartl is asking Bernd-Michael Land about his way of patching an analog modular synthesizer system. He's sharing some of his own tips and tricks on how to think outside the box and how to patch the various synthesizer modules in an unorthodox way. Great inspiration for everybody who's using a modular synthesizer and all fans of 'berlin school of electronic music'."

Roland to Release Jupiter-8, JX-3P, and Juno-106 Mini Synths? - Roland Boutique Teaser

Published on Sep 15, 2015 RolandChannel

"What is Roland Boutique?"

In the video we see Roland Jupiter-8, JX-3P, and Juno-106 followed by three mini synths for 2015.

Create Digital Music took a screen shot of the mini synths and enhanced them:

Based on the size and digital emulations in the AIRA System-1, these will likely be digital as well. Create Digital Music made a good point that there is no AIRA green in these. Along with the mini keys, that would imply that they are likely not going to be part of the AIRA line, but then why not make them available for the System-1m as well? Note that the JD-Xi and JD-Xa with the red color scheme have some analog in them. So what do you think?

Make Noise Spiratone - Shepard Tone Generator for the tELHARMONIC

Published on Sep 15, 2015 MAKEN0ISE

The Sipratone is not a new module or firmware but rather an existing implementation of the tELHARMONIC.

via Make Noise

"The Spiratone is a form of Shepard Tone generator. It is a sonic barber pole that creates the auditory illusion of a tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch, yet ultimately seems to get no higher or lower.

It occupies the same space as the tELHARMONIC. To find it, have nothing patched to D-Gate and HOLD H-LOCK for 5 seconds. The sound will dramatically change... you've found the Spiratone inside your tELHARMONIC.
Multi Voice Shepard Tone generator inspired by Jean-Claude Risset 'Computer Suite from Little Boy: Fall,' 1968 & James Tenney "For Ann (rising)," 1969

CENTROID sets spacing of the oscillators

INTERVAL allows for complete control of modulation depth and direction

FLUX adds random pitch flucuations

6 octaves of continuous 1V/ Octave pitch control

4 octaves of quantized pitch control

DEGREE Modulation able to be synchronized by clock or gate via D-Gate input

Gate Out completes the conversation between Spiratone and rest of system!

Utilizes High performance DSP hardware with 24bit, 48kHz codec, 32 bit floating point processing

Reasonable power consumption

Pairs well with Optomix"
