DSP Synthesizers Introduces All New RMX-6 Drum Chip

via DSP Synthesizers

"New year, new chips.

The new RMX-6 is in response to customer demands for individual outputs and MIDI.

It has 6 analog pitch CV inputs, 6 hi edge trigger inputs and an individual output for each drum sound.

And it has optional MIDI input for triggering.
It listens to MIDI CH16 for triggering the drums parallel with the trigger inputs.

The best chip ever, at least so far this year."

Great ending to this one. ;)

How To Make An Analog Kick with Tobi Neumann

Published on Jan 12, 2016 DJ TechTools

"Tobi Neumann shares a tutorial on making fun analog kick bass drum with a simple set of modular synthesizer gear; recorded at Riverside Studios in Berlin."

At first you might think that's a heck of a lot of work to make a drum sound, but listen to how the pitch modulation after 4:16 takes it to the next level. This video does a great job showing the versatility of a modular synth in making drum sounds with a single oscillator, filter and some modulation sources.

Rare Braintec Transistorbass 3

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

via this auction

"ULTRA RARE VINTAGE/RETRO late 1980s GERMAN ANALOG RACK BASS SYNTH BRAINTEC TRANSISTORBASS. A very rare opportunity. These synths almost NEVER show up anywhere, including Ebay. In the entire world, only 400 were made. This one is in a great condition, minor rack wear near the front screws. Comes with a U.S. AC adapter, original german manual pages. Its MIDI config is extremely deep, much in the synth is controllable, one has to dig into get to all its secrets/oscillators etc. This synth can do Roland 303 style bass sounds, but actually its strongest capabilities are way more expanded, getting to deeper/moog/oberheim style territory: Braintec is massively better, deeper, with more functions, depth, thickness, control, knobs etc than most 303 clones. Search Cykong pages for its fuller description. The synth, in fact, was the predecessor by same people who created the simpler German 303 clones: Music and More MB33/MB33 MKII, NEXT SpaceBass 3.3/4.4, FAT Freebass FB383, Terratec etc. Great for an EDM afficionados/synth enthuasiasts/professional players/collectors/sound designers."
