E-MU XL-7 Loop Noodle (Synthesis on a groove box ?)

Published on Mar 31, 2018 100 Things I Do

"There was a time where almost everyone manufacture had a Groove box in their line. At first they started out as a way to give people access to classic Roland sounds of the 808's 909's 303's and Juno and Jupiters. Over time they became a lot more complex. Close to the end of the era they were almost complete studios in a box. The E-mu XL 7 uses Emu's Command station form factor with the ability to add and use the sounds of the desktop models via Flash rom. Up to 4 different modules can be installed at any time. Most of the final range of romplers that came from EMU were made available in ROM format. Mine contains the Xtreme Lead + Proteus ROM's.

Interestingly besides just having samples of other instruments and sounds the XL-7 also comes with the normal building blocks of Sine, Saw, Square and Triangle waves. While not quite a virtual analog it has the complete flexibility to create and manipulate patches like any other synth. Also included are the famous E-mu Z-Plane filters first seen in the Morpheus! All in all I would put this in the same league as the JD-800!

Tricks for the Dreadbox Nyx - Making an ADSR Envelope

Published on Mar 31, 2018 ProckGnosis

"And here's Nyx 'Trick #3' or "some info how to create an ADSR or 4 or 5 stage envelope using MOD 1 and MOD 2." If you like math, but are newer to synths, I would watch "Part 2" at 07:07 first and THEN go back to Part 1 at 02:14.

Part 1 - The Examples (02:14)
Part 2 - The ADSR Academics (07:07)

This is likely my last "Tricks for the Nyx" video for a while. The video is split into 2 parts: part 1 gives a worked through example of setting up a 4 or 5 stage envelope, and part 2 gets a bit more basic (the academic part), explaining how envelopes are usually shaped and how different envelopes can be shaped on the Nyx by adding the smaller MOD 1 and MOD 2 envelopes together.

I'm probably turning off some newbs by showing how the Nyx is a bit more complicated than most normal synths, but for me, that's a large part of what makes it cool. If you're a newb and you bought a Nyx, be patient...it is WORTH the investment of time to learn. Cheers!"
