"The Fizmo is an amazing digital synthesizer! This one has been entirely serviced, from the PSU to the keybed . - PSU rebuilt ( the weak point of most of the fizmo’s) - Some potentiometers replaced and all the other ones cleaned. - Keybed rebuilt. The front panel has some few marks and the keybed is slightly yellowish."
"In this video, I demo some Hydrasynth synthesizer presets, patches and sounds!
The new Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) Hydrasynth keyboard is an eight-voice synth with rich options for sound design: with Wave Scanning oscillators, sound shaping via multiple Mutators, two flexible filters per voice, and a fully-thought-out effects section, Hydrasynth is a sound designer's dream. This is the Hydrosynth Keyboard and not the Hydrosynth desktop. Both their synth engines are the same but their interfaces have minor differences."
"Playing the Pure Piano iOS AUv3 app on the iPad, using the Roland FP-30 digital piano as a midi controller. Probably the best sounding piano app on iOS."
"Pure Piano is a professional, multi-sampled concert grand piano instrument with a unique Morphpad that allows you to explore a multitude of sounds ranging from mellow and intimate tones to surreal, cinematic textures.
Similar to an XY pad, the Morphpad offers up nine core timbres of the piano. The 'pure' piano sits untouched at the heart and centre of the space, surrounded by eight more presets for you to explore as you guide your finger seamlessly through the wide-ranging tonal palette of the piano.
As you do so, the various timbres blend together allowing you to create your own sounds, and what’s more, the Morphpad works as a macro control for the app’s inbuilt effects adding even more to the experience by way of ever-changing texture and atmosphere, all from just one single piano."
"SPONDE might look like a simple nature on the surface. But when used smart, it can be used in many different ways as a center piece of a modular system.
- 6 channel stereo mixer - 2 x 6 mono mixer - mix 6 audio and 6 CV signal in parallel - 8 x attenuator and 2 x 2 mixer (for audio or CV) at the same time
.. and many other combinations.
Let us kick off a little patch series: - one mixer channel to be used as a submix to feed into a filter - mix audio and CV material in parallel - a jam using the direct outs/attenuators
Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 00:15 - SPONDE recap - what is it 00:50 - Patch example: submixer 03:08 - Patch example: audio + CV mixing in parallel 07:01 - SPONDE jam: mix various audio and CV signals & use direct outs to control other modules "
"In this video I take a look at the improvements and enhancements that Dreadbox have added in numerous firmware updates since the synth was first released and pick out my top 5 favourites from what is actually a very long and impressive list.
"New Order 'The Perfect Kiss' cover, as featured on the official video version.
Gear used:
Left: Roland JP8000 (triggered live from Pro Tools).
Right: Emu Emax (upper). Roland JX-8P (lower)
Backtrack previously recorded on Pro Tools, track by track, by me using the Kurzweil PC1x massively for Hook's bass sounds and a DX7 for the first "metallic" sequence that goes along the whole song. There is also an unknown frog sampled for the middle section (05:35).
* Composed by Gillian Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, Bernard Sumner.
Performed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bara."
"The Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer module combines incredible-sounding analog-modeled circuitry with the power, convenience, and accessibility of modern digital features. The elegant chassis is uncluttered and easy to use, with solid aluminum control knobs and well-placed buttons for accessing parameters and functions in the Blofeld. The large, easy-to-read display allows you to navigate through the Blofeld's 1,000-plus sounds and settings. In addition to its incredible tweakability, you get easy USB connectivity for editing and management functions on the Blofeld."
