Solina String Ensemble Early Series Comparison

Published on Nov 24, 2019 Italian Vintage Stuff!

"Strictly for nerds: Sorry for my poor keyboard skills, but this was not an intent to make a musical video, it's a comparison of two early series Solina String Ensemble keyboards.
To show that they differ ever so slightly in sound, and how different they sound compared to the later versions.

LuLaAh - Flute, Morphagene, Mimeophon, VCV Rack, O Coast, Freak, Disting

Premiere in progress. Started 2 minutes ago Omri Cohen

"Recording the Flute into the Morphagene is fun :) There are some patch notes below.

And also the VCV Rack patch file - https://www.patreon.com/posts/31818579

Patch notes :
-----------------------
- I use the Mimophon as a voice with its feedback all the way up, and I'm playing it with the Keystep. It's then going through the Disting in stereo delay mode with a nice long feedback.
- I switch the v/oct cable of the Keystep from the Mimeophon to the O Coast and record it into a looper in VCV Rack.
- I then switch the cable again to a self-oscillating filter on the Freak module from Vult, and record it into another looper in VCV Rack.
- I record the flute directly into the Morphagene with the Zoom H6 recorder.
- In VCV Rack I have a sequence going with the Seasons sequencer, sequencing both the Woldemar oscillator and an FM-OP which is going through Clouds.
- Also in VCV Rack, I play the Cozmic oscillator with the Keystep through Midi.
By the way, Lulaah in Hebrew means a loop..."

Watch the video on a descent pair of head phones or good speakers."

Modal Electronics 008 Pad tweaking

Published on Nov 24, 2019 synthlegends

"Demo of the Modal 008 played through the GFI Clockwork V3 Delay Pedal. No additional FX or masterin used. I played a lush pad with different filter types, somoe LP Filter, 4 db, 3, db, 2, db, 1 db and notch. Also I used once the drive parameter and once a bit filter FM. Also the waveforms changed and the mixing of the oscilators. I modulated the pad with 2 LFO, modulated the filter cutoff and the PMW."

"This one is perfectly working, in good condition - the top metal has a bit rack rash but this doesn't prevent the synth from producing some of the most excellent synth sounds you could possibly hear - even today in our synth-flooded world, this is a stand-out piece. In case you fancy to upgrade it to a V8 (as i did with my other V8), i can get you in touch with a tech who just made clones of the V8 Rev2 Logic board. But even without being a rev2, this is heaps of synth fun and mesmerising, in my opinion better than the big Moogs or Oberheim from that era. And these were pretty great already..."
