The Eternal Expanse

Published on Jul 31, 2017 davidryle

"Trying my hand at building choir sounds with various synthesizers.

The opening part is a JV-1080 mellotron choir. Then I built a soprano 'banshee' style choral sound with heavily modulated vco's from the Mos Lab 901 trio into the 904-A filter, an Encore frequency shifter and Behringer DD400 delay.

I introduce some noise from the Sputnik WCRS and a Q110. The drone synth part is next from the Prophet '08 with a stacked fast eighth note pattern in the background. Then I played the chord progression from the System 8 as a controller to the OB-6 and JV-1080. The melody over the top is the Deepmind 12 and Erebus.

Finally I bring up the last chorus part from the 5U modular. This is formed from a pair of Q960 step sequencers playing two patterns of three vco's each through a Moogah SEM filter. It is sent to a Modcan 73B dual delay in flange/chorus mode modulated by a Yusynth quadrature LFO. The audio signal from the filter is routed through the Strymon Blue Sky reverb in mod/plate mode before going to the delay.
The loud boom is the Waldorf MicroQ."

Synthchaser #075 - ARP Omni 2 Repair - Bass Note Problems

"I troubleshoot and repair a couple of problems with this ARP Omni 2. First the lower bass voice is dead. Second, a weird problem with the low note priority circuitry of the bass notes is seemingly allowing more than 1 bass note through at a time.

Parts used in this video are available at my website. I also repair and restore ARPs and other vintage synths for customers around the world."

"the Amazing Roland VP330 Vocoder Plus Keyboard Synthesizer

one of the best vocoders ever made, just few left in this great condition.

this is a video of the actual VP330 Vocoder for sale [above], works amazing !"

The top two pics do a good job of showing the metal bar on top of the front of the synth. The bar was likely meant to hold sheet music. You can see two hole above that would hold a sheet music stand.
