Custom Modded Sequential Circuits Max Synth

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"This Synth has been modified with the addition of the following features:

100 sounds, all downloadable, located in battery-backed RAM
Note storage increased from about 500 to about 3200
Unison mode added.
Three sets of 100 factory sounds in EPROM: 80 Max + 20 Six track Unison factory sounds, 100 Six Track factory sounds, and 100 Multi-Trak factory sounds (without chorus or velocity sensitivity, of course)
CC parameter changes to current program can be saved to program 99, then copied to any other program
MIDI receive buffer increased from 64 bytes to 128 bytes
Removed code that reduced volume of subsequent notes if CC change received while MIDI note with low velocity playing. This a code bug in the original EPROM.
These features were added by upgrading both the EPROM and the type/amount of RAM. The Max shipped with a 128K EPROM and two 2Kx8 SRAM chips. This modified Max has a 256K EPROM and a single 32Kx8 SRAM chip (only 16K is used). The modification is a small PC board which holds the EPROM and NV SRAM. This board plugs into the existing EPROM socket on the Max. Five additional wires connect from the Max main board to the new memory board. In addition, the two SRAM chips on the Max main board have been disabled. See more info by googling 'Sequential Circuits MAX Mod Page - Tauntek'"

How to make electronic music live without a laptop

"...or at least how I do it! A few people had asked how this setup was configured so I thought I'd make a video to explain it all.

The Tr-8 and Kaoss Pads make a great combo, giving you the ability to synchronize and effect loops on-the-fly and add side-chaining and scatter from the Tr-8."

Using Auxy on iPad to sequence hardware synths

Published on Oct 2, 2015 Anonymous Animal 2

iTunes: Auxy Music Creation - Auxy

"I had planned to make a video featuring a couple of apps, but it turned into just Auxy, because I need time to figure out how to use Genome! That'll be for another video then...

Anyway, here's a basic set up instructional followed by a quick jam to illustrate the way this functions (I still consider this "laptop free" because the iPad is so portable and feels more like hardware in this configuration)

It's a lot of fun and I think I'm going to explore this method much more...

Thanks for watching!"

Hands On: PPG WaveGenerator - The Beast

"Hear the Beast !

In this second video about PPG WaveGenerator, I want to show you how aggressive and harsh the Synthesizer from Wolfgang Palm can sound. WaveGenerator can sound very clear and beautiful but also very aggressive and dark. Here are some demo sounds which brings these aspects to life
