PerfectPatch / Trafic - ANIMA inspired

Published on Nov 5, 2019 TheEndorphines

"Following up on our perfect patch contest, we decided to make something inspired by Thom Yorke‘s most recent album.
Here we are utilizing 2 Airstreamers in slightly unusual ways. The first one is working as modulator for the fm input on Godspeed, creating a fat bass sound. Second one is used as a slew for pitch cv controlling the lead sound coming from Furthrrrr generator"

ONE MINUTE SYNTH REVIEW!!! Ep. 19 Arturia Microfreak (Halloween Special)

Published on Nov 5, 2019 Noir Et Blanc Vie

**ALL MUSIC IN THIS REVIEW WAS CREATED ON THE ARTURIA MICROFREAK*


Hey guys and gals, so ONCE AGAIN better late than never am I right? LOL. I said last year that UNO would be the last episode of OMSR...but, I guess not. Sooooo...Love you all.

NOW...to my thoughts. You're probably going to see the score and wonder, "WHY NOIR, WHY?" Please understand that I review the synth I buy, and last year the same thing happened...I got a copy that kinda was not perfect, but quality control is part of the consumer experience...AS I SAID IN MY SUBJECTIVE OPINION AS A PLAYER. The Microfreak isn't exactly what I wanted for my use case, and this will probably only upset fanboys and fangirls, but I'm not here to read a user manual objectively. You can do that on your own time...How did the Microfreak make me feel. Does the Microfreak inspire, AB-SO-LUT-LY. Is it for me, like 100% me...I guess you'll see in the video. Regardless, I'm not wrong as each person's experience is unique, and this was mine, if you think differently about subjective opinions, well k LOL.

3+3+2 . 3x3+2 | Behringer to Clone the TB-303 ?

Published on Nov 4, 2019 BEHRINGER

Update: details and pics posted here.

So, what's the significance of the video title? What's the 2? Two 303's and a 202 in one box? 3+3+2 = 8. 808 in there? 3x3+2 = 11? Feel free to guess in the comments section below.

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

BTW, see my note on Behringer in the previous post.

The Roland Jupiter-X & XM Story and Why Roland Has No Plans for a New JUPITER-8

I don't like to critique but I thought the following was a little funny (also see my note on Behringer below):

"We are very aware of the very strong passion that synth fans have for the JUPITER-8, and some continue to wait for us to introduce a true analog version. This is something we do not plan to do. Our founder Mr. Kakehashi always said, 'Never chase a ghost', and I really understand his meaning. 'Chasing the ghost' of the original JUPITER-8 or TR-808 does not make sense as we will never catch them, and this effort would not align with our vision for the future. Roland has developed many legendary products throughout our history that came from our drive to always design the future by applying the latest technology and our unique know-how from each era. This is our DNA which will never change."

Preceded by:

"Different from the base Virtual Analog of ZEN-Core, the ABM-powered 'Model Bank' synths in the JUPITER-X and Xm reproduce the total character of specific vintage synths including the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, JX-8P, and SH-101, all with incredible precision. For these synths, we did deep behavioral analysis of elements such as the filter’s curve, range, and response speed, which are different for each model, of course. We even recreate characteristics including oscillator drift driven by temperature changes- we actually put a physical temperature sensor inside the JUPITER-X and Xm to help with this!"

The above is quoted from The Roland Jupiter-X & XM Story posted on Roland's site. There's more to the post, of course, so do check it out, but what I thought was a little funny was the 'Never chase a ghost' quote. They are clearly doing just that, only in the digital realm, not analog. But... they have ventured in analog with the JD-Xa and JD-Xi. Do I think Roland should clone the Jupiter-8 and their vintage analog? No. For one reason: Behringer. Behringer would just put them under with cheaper models, so if I were Roland, I wouldn't bother. I'm guessing the digital clones are more cost effective as well. I'd stay focused on new products just like they are doing now.  Seriously, Behringer has made it so no company will ever bother cloning their previous products.  I heard that Behringer's goal is to not only offer clones of vintage synths, but to become the largest synth manufacturer for both vintage and new designs.  Simply put, the only way to compete will be to create gear that users want and Behringer does not offer for less.
