Published on Feb 3, 2017 Power DX7

All parts here.

"Thank you to those who have watched every tutorial videos and followed my instructions for self learning as well as made variations of the famous Yamaha DX7 Tub Bells patch.

In total, you've watched over 2 hours of high quality, easy to follow tutorials with so much useful information packed into them.

Basically I've condensed many years of my personal battle (yes, it was a hard road) with the DX7 FM synthesis into 2 hours, so you can learn the essence of the DX7 FM synthesis.

This is a third tutorial of the FM synthesis sound design Tub Bells Improvement tutorial series.

This FM synthesis tutorial series is catered for a wider audience, from beginners to advanced FM synthesis/ DX series synthesizer users.

This is the final tutorial for the Tub Bells tutorial series. We will combine everything we've learnt so far and give a final touch to the improved Tub Bells patch. Once you play this Tub Bells patch, you can't go back to the original one!!!!! It's sharp, solid, harmonic rich and expressive. We've made every improvements that are needed for the famous and great, but lifeless original DX7 Tub Bells patch.

I will take you through the DX7 FM parameters, including Envelope Generator, Output Level, Key Velocity Sensitivity, etc."

'Last September version 2' by Robots Against Children

So, this might be the last track I get to prepare before the show next weekend. I was hoping to have 6 tunes but I'm out of material that I can easily convert to this rig and I can't guarantee my ol' brain will be able to spit out another in time. Plus, I need to prepare the gear rig and practice practice practice. May not be enough time."

"Quick run-through of Volca Kick as sync master to Nanoloop Mono 1.0.2 for some hard tech destruction.
Both devices are running through a mixer and into a Kaoss Pad 3+, using the Fuzz distortion to shape the sound a little.

A few new images of the one and only Performance Music Systems S.W.A.N., aka Syntar Without A Neck! If you are not familiar with this synth, see here. You can find additional posts on Performance Music Systems here, including an interview with the creator of the S.W.A.N, George Mattson. Mattson of course, is the man behind Mattson Mini Modular and the M in Synthrotek's MST line of eurorack modules. The S.W.A.N was his second synth, after the Syntar, the world's first stand-alone synthesizer keytar.

Note this is the one and only S.W.A.N. in existence.

"To celebrate the new connectivity of music production software, Soundbrenner announces a hidden feature to sync up with the awesome E-RM multiclock at the NAMM Show 2017!

Finally, you can use the power of a professional multi-format synchronisation hub to sync all your analogue gear to music production software and the Soundbrenner Pulse smart vibrating metronome via The Metronome by Soundbrenner iOS app.

The multiclock is used in the studio and on stage to seamlessly provide different clock signals for electronic instruments like drum machines, analogue synthesizers or effects via MIDI, Din Sync, LFO or Analogue Clock.

Connect the multiclock via the headphone jack of the phone and enable the multiclock sync signal with a hidden touch interaction. By long-pressing the “Sounds” menu item in the App Settings of The Metronome by Soundbrenner for 4 seconds, the menu changes and displays “Multiclock”.

With the ability to connect the E-RM multiclock to The Metronome by Soundbrenner, we created a reliable bridge for electronic music gear lovers and musicians playing classical instruments to perform on the same track. When connecting a Soundbrenner Pulse smart vibrating metronome to the app, it is easy for analogue musicians stay in perfect sync with the digital world.

As The Metronome by Soundbrenner is compatible with Ableton Link, you can now synchronise the multiclock wirelessly with a plethora of music production apps on iPhone, iPad, Mac OS or Windows. Just enable Ableton Link inside the metronome app when on the same WiFi network with other Ableton Link enabled apps."
