Digitakt OS Upgrade: Base-width Filter


video upload by Elektron

"Much requested from its Digi sibling, a Base-width filter has been added to the Digitakt. This additional filter gives you more control when it comes to finding space for your sounds, working in tandem with the Multimode filter. You can also access it via LFO destination to unlock even more modulation potential."

“Flux meets Jupiter-4 12 - More LFO” by Friendly Noise


video upload by Friendly Noise

Flux meets Jupiter-4 episodes

"This is number 12 of a video series combining the best of vintage sound and the best of the modern sequencer technology in eurorack: Roland Jupiter 4 and IO Labs Flux. There will be a new short video every week.

The Jupiter 4 is always recorded in mono, which makes the internal chorus very subtle. Reverb is added in Cubase to make the sound wider. There is no clipping in the recording chain. If you hear anything close to distortion, it’s all in the sound coming out of the Jupiter 4.

The Roland Jupiter 4 has been rediscovered and established as the most full of character among the Roland polyphonic synths. Although limited in number of voices and straight forward sound architecture, it shines with an unique sonic print which no other synth can emulate. There are lots of great video demos and information on the web, so that no detailed description will be provided here. But it’s important to mention some unique features which will be showed extensively in this video series:

- The Jupiter 4 filter goes into self oscillation. Big guys like Yamaha CS-80, Jupiter 8 or Oberheim OBX-a can’t.
- The LFO is fast enough to get into audio range.
- There is a very noticeable internal saturation when the VCA slider is raised.

Don’t expect nice bass sounds and classic analog leads. The Jupiter 4 is perfect for that, but this has already been done before in many records and internet demos. What you are about to hear is the extreme side of the sound. Be prepared for drones, massive low frequencies, cracking saturation, ultra fast notes and unusual scales. Many sounds will remind you of modular synthesizers, but they were all created by direct recording of the Jupiter 4. :-)

In fact, the VCO is switched off and you will be hearing only the self oscillating filter in almost 80% of the video series. Only in the last videos you will hear the VCO. That means that 80% of the sounds you will hear couldn’t be made with other classic polyphonic synths, unless the filter self oscillates.

Luckily this Jupiter 4 was modded with CV and gate inputs and outputs per voice (and then some). Using this level of control per voice you can use the Jupiter 4 as a vintage monophonic synth, or drive individual voices differently. For example, applying vibrato or slide per voice. In this video series, only three voices were used.

The amazing sound of this Jupiter 4 can break the traditional boundaries specially when driven by the Temporal Modulation Synthesis sequencer Flux, made by IOLabs: https://www.tmsynthesis.com/
Flux is the most advanced tool for rhythm creation ever made. Ever. Trying to explain Flux is few words is not possible. Please look for information on the web."

New Dreadbox 6 Voice NY Synth Coming in September?



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

It appears Dreadbox is working on a 6 Voice NY synth and it's coming at the end of September. Their previous synth with NY in the title was the 2 VCO paraphonic NYX. They also had the 4 voice ABYSS.

Note the 2nd image below is a vote for the color: Dark Blue or Black. I'm guessing the top half of the image is the blue and the bottom the black to give you an idea of the color scheme for each.

The pink font gives off the the 80s vibe of the Erebus V3 limited edition and the HYPNOSIS.

Update: you can find a glimpse of it and the new Abyss MK2 here.

Oberheim Two Voice TVS-1 Restoration


video upload by Rosen Sound

SN 0394

"Welcome to our new YouTube channel! We are excited to get back into making fun videos. In this video we give a peek into the various aspects of fully going through an Oberheim TVS-1, also known as the Oberheim 2 voice, a SEM based synthesizer from the mid 1970's

Join Rob and Eli's disembodied voice restoring one of our favorite synthesizers ever made!

For service, rental, and sales, please visit us at www.rosensound.com

This specific TVS was sold to us by a client who purchased it from our client Peter Freeman many many years ago. Peter recently passed away, and we dedicate this video and this TVS-1 to his memory. RIP!
This TVS-1 is not for sale, however can be rented among many other vintage synthesizers in our rental fleet.

Thank you to Benny Bock for providing the demo at the end for this video. A longer version will be uploaded soon.

Background music by Rob Rosen (though really, the TVS plays itself!)"

SCI Pro One - Rosen Sound Demo


video upload by Rosen Sound

"Somehow this never got listed public. This demo is by Eli Goss and is shot in the a reverb chamber that was built for Captain & Tennille, which was then torn down to build what is now the synth cabin.

Not much to add to this considering I’m listing it public 2 years later, but its none the less an awesome demo by the venerable Eli Goss"
