"The CS-2X is already an awesome synth..
...but the silver and blue design was rather dull..
.... Not this one!

It is a beautiful pearlescent light aqua/blue with customized labeling and vintage look knobs."

X1L3 - DDX - circuit bent yamaha DD7 drum machine


Published on Oct 19, 2018 X1L3

"Intricate circuit bending techniques and another DDX demo. A DD7 in this instance. What and where in the description below.

A varied set starting out in the dark with some sludge laden ram glitch. Slow and obsessively tweaked on the filter and pitch to really let what the ddx can do in abstract percussive forms shine through. It then moves on to a more driven section to illustrate it in a more conventional but still mildly glitched format, finally fading out into the dark again with an even more ram glitched and pitched down section where how bizarre it can sound is allowed to shine.

Midi trigs are coming in from the DAW and a yarns midi interface in my euro rig is being used to generate the CV for the filter cut off and pitch. The key roll in the daw is used here to generate the cv levels which allows me to implement intricate stepping from hit to hit and so generate the cool glitchy sequences and incidentals heard in here.

All DD7 through the track. No support from percussion in the daw to nail down the rhythm as is the case on the DD6 demos. The DD6 is a less versatile machine with fewer sounds and a more 'rock' flavour to it. No less impressive but not quite so good on its own at nailing down a hard kick etc. The delay built into the DD7 is generatign a syncopated echo throught the track to add atmosphere to the sum of the slower sections.

New Sequential Prophet-XL - 32 Voice, 76 Keys & a 32 Voice Update for the Prophet X Coming?


This one was spotted by Soviet Space Child.

As you can see at the bottom, it's from the November issue of Sound on Sound's upcoming November issue.

In pink it reads:  "Two days before I submitted this review Dave Smith sent me a brief specification and a photograph of the (at the time unannounced) Prophet XL, which will be a 76-key version of the Prophet X offering a 32-voice mode that bypasses the main filter section (which still only has 16 filters) but uses two fo those filters paraphonically to spice things up.  This mode will be more suited to sample-based sounds, but I could see myself programming FM sounds to take advantage of the extra keyboard width and the doubled polyphony.  I can't wait to get my hands on it... a Prophet T8 for the 21st century!  And, so that existing Prophet X owners won't feel short-changed, the 32-voice mode and a few other new features will also be available as a free update for the existing synth.  That's a nice touch."

The current Sequential Prophet X supports a bi-timbral, 8-voice-stereo (16-voice mono) engine.

Note the piano style keys pictured.

Update: You can find the official Prophet XL announcement and intro video here.

P.S. The Prophet XL is the first synth from Sequential post DSI. Giving this post the DSI and Sequential labels but moving forward XL and future Sequential synths will only have the Sequential label.
