The Evolution of the Analogs: Jam Session

Elektron

"Enough with the talking. Time for the music."

Elektron Analog Four & Rytm

Three microtuned classical pieces on a Yamaha TX802

Stereoping

"Little composition excercise while playing with a Yamaha TX802's microtuning. Three parts, all built up of just minimalistic 2 note intervals. Most people used to pop music might find this temperment to sound strange or 'wrong'. I also tested the pieces with equal temperment (not shown in the video) - but it was instantly loosing the medieval charme and tension.

Technics: Two 802-tones (detuning +/- 2) on the same midichannel playing preset 'PickGuitar'. One to output I, the other to II, then through a Roland DEP-5. The TX-802 is noisy as an airplane, the final soundfile had to be denoised with FL-Studio Edison's footprint-denoiser. #Yamaha #TX802 #microtuning #synthesizer"

Dynamic signal shaping with Cockpit² (Cockpit 2) - full patch walkthrough

Endorphin.es

"Cockpit² is a tiny yet versatile stereo/mono mixer you can use to mix all your audio sources: various synths or pure waveforms with dynamic control to achieve side-chain compressor 'ducking' in your live mix."

Akai S612 w/FPA Mod. Great fun! + QD Emulator

Espen Kraft

"An awesome mod that makes it possible to control and record the sample Start/Splice - End - Decay - LFO Speed and Filter through Midi CC. Endless possibilities for glitchy fun!

What's the big deal you might ask, I can just move those sliders on the S612 itself? Yes, you can, but you can't record your movements that way. With this you can, and by doing so, you can record these movements into a DAW and later manipulate and adjust to taste to make snippets of cool stuff or whole soundscapes for further use."

Additional demos and details on the FPA mod from Hideaway Studio:

Hideaway Studio · Hideaway Studio's AKAI S612 FPA, FDM and XD-280 Upgrades in Action....

"A few demonstrations of Hideaway Studio's Front Panel Animator Module (FPA), Filter Defeat Module (FDM) and Virtual Floppy System (XD-280) for the AKAI S612 Sampler in action...

The FPA retrofit module allows most of the front panel controls including the infamous sample splice sliders and filter cutoff to be animated in realtime via 5 MIDI CC channels.

These modules have been proving popular with many upgraded units now in the wild. For those interested in further details or wishing to purchase their own module please contact me at: dan@hideawaystudio.net

Please Note: Although FPA and FDM module are a very neat fit once in place it does require strong PTH desoldering skills and patience to fit but it is not difficult for a tech to install each in less than 2 hours."

"Jeannie" 8 Voice DIY Teensy Synthesizer by Rolf Degen

Rolf Degen

The project is currently on https://forum.pjrc.com

"I am currently developing a new DIY synthesizer based on a Teensy 4.0 Boards. The synthesizer will look similar to the small Shruthi Synthesizer from Mutable Instruments. Compared to the Shruthi this synth will be polyphonic, have a color TFT display and other things like a 2Channel 16Bit DA-Converter, digital and analog filters. The housing and board format is similar to the Shruthi (see picture). That's why for the DIY Project I also created the Name 'Shruthi 2' selected."

Rolf Degen is the man behind the De-Generator and TubOhm.
