Rakit Baby 8 and Drum Synth | Sound Demo + Overview

Published on Nov 27, 2018 littleBIGsynths

"Hey guys! New toys!! 😁 lol In this video, I give you guys a quick overview of the Rakit Baby 8 and Drum synth. Rakit is a small, UK based business who designs these really cool DIY electronic kit. interesting right? Oh, and don't worry, if you are like me and don't have any soldering skills... you can purchase them pre-assembled. 👍🏻 lol

So, I haven't really had much time to play with them, due to this crazy busy holiday season... but with the little time that I have spent with them, I have already had a ton of fun. 😉 This tiny 8 step sequencer and drum synth are definitely a great addition to my collection of battery powered jam machines and I'm really looking forward to playing with them more.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this video. As always, thank you for watching littleBIGsynths. 👊🙂"

OlllAudio-Minimoog Filter/ARP 4075 Filter - unboxing Eurorack modules

Published on Nov 29, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Today, the mail surprised us and provided an amazing delivery from OlllAudio Eurorack Modules straight from Saint Petersburg from Russia.

We are very happy because there were 4 amazing modules inside of which two of them are filters based on great vintage equipment and just one on Minimoog which is famous analog filter for modular synthesizers, the scheme was created in the 70s by Robert Arthur Moog, and the other one, filter based on ARP 4075 and this is a replica of the famous ARP Filter schematic with styroflex capacitors and main-chip which has been maked in 80-s. Both filters are provided for the creation of 'Very Fat specific sound', additionally there is one here module Ring modulation -At the heart of device is the strong transistor schematic which have maximum analogue sound ,and one multiple which of course, will always increase our eurorack system for multi conections and more combine modulation.
we opened the package from OlllAudio Eurorack Modules and today we have a small movie showing these modules and a small filtering Filter based on the classic Minimoog from the 70s.

As you can see, the sound is fat, but it's the beginning, because it's a small unpacking with a sound demo. We have already checked the ARP 4075 Filter and it's definitely awesome.

OIIIAudio certainly has a strong and thick analog sound and only classic Vintage equipment.

It is also worth checking the sale which is on a few selected modules on the official website

3. Op-z ambient session

Running Op-z through some effects. All the dry synth sounds are from the Op-z. Mixed in some effects using AUM, eos2 reverb, dubstation 2 delay, and Discord4.

Roland JX-8P vs Jupiter 8

Published on Nov 28, 2018 synthlegends

"Is the JX-8P a poor mans Jupter 8? I would say no, they are very different sounding beasts! The JP-8 has more low end and is more powerful, but the JX-8P has very beautiful string, pad and lead tones.

To make an objective and fair comparison because of the built in chorus in the JX-8P I used for the Jupiter 8 a Boss CE-2w Chorus Pedal (new stuff, no vintage). The setting was an emulation of the old and famous CE-2 Pedal.

Around the first 6 minutes I demonstrate some typical classic sounds of both mashines and I tried to programm them quite comparable. I begin with two very famous keyboard hooklines. EUROPE and also ALPHAVILLE used for the original recordings a JX-8P as I made my research. Please inform me, if I am wrong!

Beginning about 6 minutes I messed around with the JX-8P and played sometimes the JP-8 as a counterpart.

Please enjoy the video and tell me your opinions about those two classic synths. Above all please forgive my when the output was not always equal. I tried to do my best of making a objective comparision. I didn't use additional effects or mastering.

Cheers, Ruediger"
