New Mini Roland System 700 LAB Eurorack Clone by OMNiSYN

[000] OMNiSYN System 700 LAB Demo Published on Dec 21, 2019

"Clone of the Roland System 700 LAB"

This one was sent in by John L Rice.

OMNiSYN is a new maker as well. No additional info at the moment. It does look appear to be 3U eurorack of course.

You can spot three 702F oscillator modules on the far left for each row. A 703M Filter on the top and bottom rows, 705B dual ADSR envelop in the middle row, a Mixer in the middle row, and a few other modules.

Update via OMNiSYN in the comments:

"All modules (bar the 717 sequencer) are prototyped - prices would be comparable to to other manufacturers, but these are all dependent on availability of parts (some are custom and long lead time). Some videos on the full Roland System 700 clone are coming soon - stay tuned."

"All modules are 3U/12HP or 3U/18HP, case is 9U/60HP with 1A PSU and expansion port built in. All signals are brought to the front panels as was true in some of the original modules. Some modules have been expanded as in the mixer is now 2x 3 input and most modules use NOS original components. Hope this helps."

The original Roland System 700 Lab came with the following so this seems to match: 3 VCOs, 1 VCF, 1 VCA, 1 LFO, 2 ADSR EG, Noise (white & pink), Ring Mod, S/H and a Mixer.

Below is an image of one from the RL Music website. Apparently the signal path was normalized so you could play it minus cables like an ARP 2600. I'm guessing the OMNiSYN eurorack version consists of independent modules and is not normalized.

"This is a very powerful 3 oscillator normalised system with 1/4 inch jack In/Out for expanded sound creation possibilities and is based entirely on the system architecture of the full System 700."

Progress on the Behringer's Upcoming Yamaha CS80 Clone?

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

Note the mention of other instruments as well:

"We're very proud to announce that we have successfully completed our Poly Aftertouch Keyboard design, which no paves the way for many exciting new products.

It was not a trivial engineering effort but the performance is truly excellent - bit credit to our amazing engineering teams.

Stay tuned for more exciting news:-)"

[DEMO] Roland MC-09

Published on Jul 16, 2017 Philip+

"I had this Roland MC-09 since the beginning of 2017. It is a good specimen of a very decent groovebox, with two synth parts (one bass and one lead), one drum part, a four-track looper and a very basic effects unit. Each of the synth voices are full-fledge monosynths, with one oscillator one low pass filter (modelled after the TB-303), one LFO and full ADSR envelope. Editing the sounds is possible using the front panel, but you will need to have the manual near by, as there are no clear marking regarding this feature on the front panel, and the messages from the 3-digit display are a little bit cryptic."

How To Kick (a discussion of kick drum synthesis)

Published on Dec 23, 2019 Oscillator Sink

"Welcome to the first video in a series where we'll be talking about drum and percussion synthesis. Throughout the series the Volca Drum will be used for the examples, but the ideas discussed will happily translate to many other synths.

We're kicking things off (ha ha) with kick drums - the centre-piece of beat based electronic music. Starting with the classic 'all-in-one-oscillator' approach, we'll expand on that to look at how having separate voices for the 'thwack' and 'boom' can really help you tailor your sound."
