NAMM 2022 - NINA Motorized Polysynth

video upload by sonicstate

"You've maybe seen the the teases on the Tonelab.tv Instagram feeds, but this new machine is a 1st as far as we know. Its a 12 voice poly synth with motorized knobs that actually move when changing patches and also when morphing.

Features:

12 Voice Polyphony.
Motorized recallable and automatable control panel using long lasting zero wear encoders with the feel and precision of analog pots.
Variable shape triangle oscillators. Continuously morph wave-shape between triangle and sawtooth to find new timbres. Different to a traditional blend.
4 pole transistor ladder VCF with modulatable resonance.
Massive voice-level filter overdrive.
Digital Wavetable Oscillators.
Sampling capability.
Deep Modulation Matrix. Quick edit, all sources to all destination.
Patch morphing for complex expressive effects.
Stereo Infinite Panning effects with 4 Quadrant DCAs.
Onboard digital effects.
Multitimbral, layered, split, or overlapping.
Hackable open-source software control powered by Raspberry Pi 4.

It looks like Melbourne Instruments is the brand.

Yamaha DX9 from 1983 - The crippled twin brother of the DX7

video upload by Espen Kraft

"The DX9 is in many ways a crippled DX7. Some say it's the worst DX ever made. Some say it's a very charming and good sounding DX synthesizer. Use its strengths to the full potential and you'll soon have some very nice sounds on your hands.

I use a Rockman stereo chorus from 1989 in this video. This is an analog chorus and it sounds very flattering on the DX9. I use a foot switch connected to the chorus to turn the chorus on and off when needed.
Reverb is from the Valhalla plugin.

Be aware that the 4-operator DX9 isn't compatible with the later DX models from Yamaha in terms of patches- The DX9 shares its save-format with the DX7 as it uses the same envelope stages and scaling, where the later DX models do not. Later patches can be converted, but they will not sound the same on the DX9.
The DX7 and DX9 uses the same DAC and as such have the same crunchy 12-bit output stage.

The DX9 has no slot for any cartridge, there's only 20 preset memory slots and the keyboard has neither velocity nor after touch capabilities.

Another interesting fact is the function key#6, which is "empty" on the chassis front plate typing. That's were the MIDI functions are hidden, so the fact that this is nowhere written on the front just shows how late Yamaha was to implement MIDI onto the DX9. Admittedly MIDI had just been born and no one knew how it would go and so many manufacturers were reluctant to put it into their synths in 1983-1984."

How to make Vocoder Grooves with Behringer VC-340 & RD-8

video upload by Wine&Synths

"People immediately think of alienated, robotic sounding voices when they talk about vocoders. And of course, that's a lot of fun, but it often reaches its creative limits pretty quickly.

That's why I prefer to use a drum machine instead of the voice. And how to transform the vocoder into a funky groovebox with the help of an RD-8, is what I'm going to show you in this video!

To demonstrate this, I make use of a Behringer VC-340 Vocoder which is a stunning replica of the 'Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus' from 1979. The drumbeat is provided by a Behringer RD-8, which is of course a clone of the famous Roland TR-808.

Peace!

Versatility of the Super-6 / musical sound design

video upload by Jexus

http://sounds-for-synths.com/udo_audio_super6

"No talking demo of UDO Audio Super 6. All patches custom-made by Jexus. I did not use any external FX in the demo; all the delays, noises and other effects are part of the Super-6 engine & mod matrix. I recorded my demo straight through an audio card. This is a standard factory unit - you don't need any custom wavetables or add-ons for the patches to work.
