Matriarch and Melodicer
video upload by Tim Shoebridge
"Here is a brief 'typing-no-talking' demonstration of the Vermona Melodicer being used in conjunction with the Moog Matriarch and a collection of Behringer 2500 modules.
The Melodicer is really the star of the show in this video, admittedly it is an expensive module but if you are patient they do come up on the used market for good prices, that's how I bought mine.
And the Matriarch? Even though it's Moog and it sells for a lot of money it is IMHO the Bargain of the Century: Four wonderful sounding VCO's, two beautiful sounding analogue low pass transistor ladder filters in stereo configuration, two gorgeous sounding analogue bucket brigade delays in stereo configuration, and more modular patch points than you can shake a stick at. What's not to like?!"
How to make a Miami Vice inspired high speed, arpeggiated synth bass driven track
video upload by Espen Kraft
"Using the Roland Jupiter-8 to create a Jan Hammer, Miami Vice-inspired bass driven arpeggio part for my album Dreams. By layering a percussive part, with a slow attack string sound, it creates texture the momentum. All sounds in the track comes from the Jupiter-8 classic analog synth.
Album is out on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp.

An instrumental track from Daft Punk’s Discovery.
all synthesizer sounds: Roland Juno-106 Analog Synthesizer (1984)
drums: Roland TR-808 (1982)
recording: multi-track
The Roland Juno-106 Synthesizer from the year 1984 is a great analog synth with the typical 80s Roland sound. Often in the shadow of the brother JU-60 but the sound is different. Here can you find the full Juno-106 playlist with single sound demos and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy.

Exploring the Roland Jupiter 6
Exploring the Roland Jupiter 6 | What did I get myself into? video upload by MIDERA
"I spent too much money on this. I told myself I shouldn't get it. I knew I didn't need it. I knew it wouldn't add anything to my setup. I knew it would be a project... And yet, I bought it. The Jupiter 6.
The Jupiter 6 belonged to someone I know and have bought other things from. When we started our discussion, only 2 issues were known. The Master 2 knob and the ENV2 keytracking weren't working. I figured I could fix this. Then VCO MOD ENV-1 tracking wasn't working. Then, the unit wouldn't power on at all. They managed to get the power working again (the switch itself wasn't working). So I decided to go ahead with the purchase.
I drove an hour to pick it up.
I got it home and, yes, those issues persisted, but I tested it out and decided right then that this was indeed a mistake. My Prophet 10 is a better synth with less issues. Anyway, a few days passed and I decided it was time to open it up. I replaced the power switch. I tore out the 2 faders that weren't working. I cleaned them and fixed them. I cleaned out a few others that seemed to have intermittent issues.
All seemed well... until I made this video. It was at the very end of this video when I realized that Oscillator 2 has one voice that isn't working correctly. The Pulse wave is silent. Digging deeper into this, I've found that IC36C pins 4 and 5 are not receiving any voltage. This is voice C (or 3). Unfortunately, so far this is beyond my skillset to fix, but it seems something (hopefully common between these two pins, both related to Pulse wave and PWM) is not working. It's not a bad chip, because I swapped chips and the issue persists on the same location, i.e., it didn't follow the chip. One possibility is that this location is not soldered properly, and those two aren't receiving any information. I'm not sure. I'd have to delve deeper, but again, I'm just out of my depths here.
So what are my thoughts now? I'm frustrated that I put so much money into something that really needed more work than I originally thought... But then again, I've also learned a lot, like how to repair faders, how to do some basic IC chip testing.
I am shocked by people saying it's 'cold'. I don't know what that is about at all. Doesn't sound cold at all to me. It sounds like a proper Roland synth. But wow it has a ton of range. I didn't properly capture it here, but a few sounds I have made sounded like hitting a stringed instrument... it's like you can feel the electricity, where I don't often feel that way with the Prophet 10. It's really a great sounding synth. To me, it retains everything I liked about my Juno 6 and added a lot more. The only thing I really miss about the Juno 6 is the better feeling faders and the smoother cutoff when modulated.
All I can say is - I can't wait to have this thing back to 100%.
Happy New Year!"
#TS1sequencer plays with #samplers #bassdrum and claps.

"This video is dedicated to a demo with #TS1sequencer with #bassdrum #claps and #STS sample player. Each 2 ways audio are filtered with Boss SP 202 and Zoom St224.
The sampled signals are routed to the bass drum external audio input and thus side chained with the drum envelop...
Audio recorded simply with 2 channels on DSLR, one for bassdrum output and claps for the other one. Mastered with Reaper."
Hamburger Lady (cover version)
video upload by Richard DeHove
"What better way to set the tone for 2023 than a cover version of the uplifting 1977 pop hit "Hamburger Lady" by Throbbing Gristle. Here all synth sounds are generated by the PWM Malevolent synth - the perfect family sing-along keyboard. (The 'heartbeat' displayed waveform is also the Malevolent synth.) Vocals are by my daughter processed through the Bitspeak and Manipulator VSTs.
A 256K MP3 of this track is on Patreon for supporters - as well as loads of other downloads: https://www.patreon.com/richarddehove Many thanks to my kind patrons who keep this channel ad-free
