Suzuki Omnichord OM-200M as MIDI controller for Korg EX-800 synthesizer

Published on Oct 3, 2016 Bell Tone Synth Works

"This is a demo of a Suzuki Omnichord OM-200 M (1989) being used as a MIDI controller for a Korg EX-800 (1984) polyphonic synth module, the little brother of the Poly-800. This is a powerful combination in which the Omnichord's ability to send out humanistic cascades of tones really complements the Korg's unique 6-pointed (ADBSSR) envelopes, highly resonant filter and loud pink noise generator."

Pretty cool.

"Here's some of the original owner's listing:

Here's my "one of kind" x0xb0x for sale. Andy Pledger made this one for me last year.... He makes his x0x's with care and only uses top quality parts. This x0xb0x is built like a tank! I've owned probably 3 or 4 x0x's since ladyada came out with kit, and this one is by far the nicest build I've ever seen. It's sturdy and heavy.

It's in MINT condition. No scratches, dents, etc. Nada. The photos show piece of lint, next to the logo... That fell off after pics were taken!"

Korg ARP Odyssey Module Overview & Demo

Published on Oct 3, 2016 Synthtopia

"At Knobcon 2016, we talked with Korg product specialist Nick Kwas about the new Korg ARP Odyssey Module.

When the KARP Odyssey keyboard was introduced, a lot of readers said that they had enough keyboards - what they just wanted a Odyssey synth module. Korg seems to have been listening, because that's exactly what they've introduced.

In the video, Kwas gives us an overview and demo of the Korg ARP Odyssey Module.

This video is part of Synthtopia's Knobcon 2016 coverage:

Playlist:
1. Reflex Liveloop use as a sampler demo.

2. Epoch Twin Peak vs the Klangbau Twin Peak filter. Filter sound comparison.

"From 0 to 3:45 i'm filtering a square wave from the Sputnik Oscillator through the Klangbau then through the Epoch. from 3:45 to 8:40 i'm using only triggers from Mutable Instruments Grids into the audio inputs of the filters (and multing to mod a and b of the Epoch). Here, the Epoch is panned hard left and the Klangbau hard right. from 8:40 untill the end, it's back to the sputnik square and some random wiggling of both filters at onece, still panned hard left and right.

Recording is completely dry, no effects or eq. In this demo, i'm using animodule line amp as a buffered mult to split the signal going into the audio input of the epoch to also go into the peak a and peak b mod inputs of the Epoch. This is because this is similar to how the Klangbau's Tr-F1 adn Tr-F2 controls are internally wired. I am using channel two of the line amp to boost the output of the epoch because it tends to output below standard euro modular level. line amp helps boot it normal euro levels. The Epoch requires more patching for this comparison but it also has more cv inputs for modulation and is a little more flexible under cv control and is easier to fine tune with it's knobs compared to the Klangbau's joystick, which make it hard to dial in two specific filter frequencies to track with other oscillators and v/oct, although the joystick is nice for improv and performance . you might notice that the Klangbau sometimes has a little clipping or distortion. from my experience this is part of the character of the the Klangbau version, which can sound nice! it can be controlled to some extent with the input level knob. The Klangbau will consistently self resonate with the resonance all the way up, so it is capable of longer sustaining rings . the Epoch does not self resonate like this without modulation/pings."

3. Glockenspiel vs Modualr adventures in sound.

"here, i'm experimenting with running acoustic sound (glockenspiel and drum) through my synth for both audio processing and triggering sounds and events. the sound runs through the 4ms spectral multiband resonator to convert the audio into envelopes which are then converted to triggers to fire sounds in the synth and trigger random voltages (wogglebug, ura, a-149 and turing machine) which create the variety of sounds you hear. I'm using the 4ms dual dealy to create the loops. the glockenspiel loop is then going through the reflex liveloop to create the glitchy delay and pitch shifting effects. the drum loops its going the warps parasites dealy and then to clouds for more audio manipulations."
