DYNACORD DDL-12 extended // Vintage Digital Delay // KORG VOLCA BASS

Published on Dec 4, 2015 LESINDES

"This is number TWO now (actually number FOUR) in my DYNACORDIA: the vintage digital delay DYNACORD DDL-12 with memory extension that doubles the max. delay time. Endelsly repeating long delay + stunning feedback flanger FX thanks to built in LFO. It is one of the most underrated vintage DYNACORD FX."

Synth Collection December 2015

Published on Dec 4, 2015 Pi Synth

"A walkthrough of the demos provided on the Synth Collection evaluation SD card. Virtually no edits, so lots of delays. Grab a drink before you watch. I break out of each demo with control-C otherwise the video would be half an hour long.

All demos are running on a Pi Model B+ overclocked to 1GHz to match the performance of Raspberry Pi Zero. The worst-case load is during 'Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth' at the end of the sawtooth solo, where CPU usage (measured by top -H) peaked at around 58%.

Sound was captured directly out of the IQaudIO DAC+ into a Behringer UCA202, so it's a stereo image and representative quality of how this thing really sounds, and a bit of the iPod mic signal was left in there (which picked up the MiniRig, driven by the IQaudIO headphone out) - the sound of typing is so exciting, don't you think?!

So think about this for a second - a micro SD card, 8G, is £1.99 and a Raspberry Pi Zero is £4. For a hardware investment of 5.99 plus an old USB hub you have hanging around the place, you get 8 glorious synthesizers. The value proposition is pretty remarkable. And you don't even need a MIDI keyboard, you can author complete tracks within the sequencer and preview them, and drag them to the gig. Perfect if you intend doing a cover of Baba O'Riley or Won't Get Fooled Again at short notice!"

New Roland Boutique TR-808, TR-909, and TB-303 in the Works?

In case you missed it, see the last question in this recent interview with the developers of Roland's Boutique line of synthesizers.

In all-caps, in the answer?

"EXPECTATIONS FOR THE RELEASE OF THE TR-808, TR-909, AND TB-303 AS THE SECOND EDITION OF ROLAND BOUTIQUE IS LIKELY TO BE GREAT TOO.

Tojo:Yes, I think so too. I think we will be getting a lot of feedback after this release, so we'd like to listen to what our customers have to say and decide on what to do next."

So if you want them, let Roland know. :)

Maybe we'll see them at NAMM next year? It would be interesting considering the overlap with the TR-8 & TB-3 if the synth engines are the same, but would they be, and if not, what would that say about the TR-8 & TB-3? Aside from the engines, there is something to be said about the physical designs of the originals, albeit in Boutique format. It also makes you wonder if any of the Boutique engines will make it to the System-1/m and/or if any of the System-1m engines will make it into the physical Boutique hardware form.

And with our apathy, beauty dies...
