Kawai SX-210 Enhanced w/ Upgrades

This one is in via swissdoc.

Details on the enhancements/mods via sequencer.de:

Demo here

"All sounds are from the SX-210 plus reverb and delay from the DAW. The pad sound at the beginning with Sample + Hold is not possible with the original. I have developed a new motherboard that offers new possibilities. The demo was then recorded using MIDI and Cubase. Further information about the story can be found at SX-210 Story

The following extensions my SX-210 has:
- MIDI In and Out
- Sound parameters are stored on an SD card (400 slots)
- 4 LFOs (just one)
- Sine and random waveform as LFO
- MIDI Sync optional for all LFOs
- Polyphonic Step Sequencer with Veloocyity per note
- Arpeggiator (up, down, up / down, random) with 1 to 5 octaves
- MIDI controller support of all parameters
- Cutoff via note
- Longer patch names via scroll text
- LFO can now also modulate HPF and resonance as a target
- Pitch Bender now supports 0..99 semitones
- Unison
- Random disagree by touch
- Modulation Wheel can now be used as the target for Cutoff, HPF and LFO

The voiceboard is at least original."

SynthFest France 2019 Alex4 Video

Published on Jun 19, 2019 Alex4

"Synth Fest France was a nice and very cozy event held by synth lovers for synth lovers and more specially for those who are the future synth lovers with a super social taste. Thanks to the whole team for your ambitious work!
Well prepared and organised it was a pleasure taking part.

We did two workshops trying to break down modular to its essentials for easy understanding of the core principle - it’s all about fluctuating voltages and routing them to your own needs a.k.a. setting up a program.
Located in the rooms of a former girls school on a hill next to the shores of the mighty river Rhone.
The city of Nantes itself has a rich history and offers a lot of interesting places from past to present."

TWO KEYSTEPS - Dual Arturia Keystep Sequencing with 2 Synths/Voices

Published on Jun 20, 2019 DreamsOfWires

"Examples of how I use 2 Arturia Keystep keyboard/sequencers together. Here I'm using a 2-voice Eurorack Modular setup, but you could use any 2 synths that have CV/Gate connectivity, and in the case of the second half of the video, this could be done with any synth (analog, digital or software), all that would be different is how they are connected to the synths and each other (CV, MIDI or USB). This was a rough, improvised recording, but I just thought it might be of use to somebody. Turn on subtitles for an explanation of what's going on."

New Bode Frequency Shifter from WaveFront_Audio

via WaveFront_Audio

"The Bode Frequency Shifter modulates the entire frequency spectrum of a signal input

through the amount set manually and the added control voltage inputs.

Five different shift bands are available.

In EXP. position, a one volt increase at the control sum

doubles the amount of the

frequency shift.

The side bands, created by the Bode Frequency Shifter

would shift to the incoming audio signal.

In linear modes 4 different scales are available:
1. +/- 5Hz;
2. +/- 50 Hz;
3. +/- 500 Hz;
4. +/- 5 KHz.

These scale positions go through zero shifting.

It's a REAL one!

WaveFront_Audio BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER: 1.700 euro (plus VAT and shipping)"
