Bad Gear - Evolver by Dave Smith - The False Prophet

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Evolver by Dave Smith. Is this very first instrument and hybrid synth released by DSI a modular synthesizer in a box or the false prophet? Is it still in the tradition of classic Sequential Circuits synths?

New Behringer Neptune-80 In the Works

via Behringer

"So, for years you guys have been urging us to build one of the most sought after synth. We managed to resist for a long time, but we finally gave in;-)

Here is the fully working prototype of our Neptune-80, an 8-voice polyphonic synth with original analog matrix, BBD chorus and modern user interface such as LCD Display, USB/Midi etc.

We modeled it after the best sounding 6/60 version and we absolutely love the sound.

Our product engineer Ben (a synth fanatic himself) couldn’t stop playing the Neptune, but we luckily managed to pull it out of his hands and get it in front of our camera. Sorry Ben:-)

Neyagawa Instruments Soldering Synthesizer - A Synth You Play with a Soldering Iron

Soldering Synthesizer

video upload by Neyagawa Instruments

"ソルダリングシンセサイザーは半田ゴテを使って演奏する新感覚のシンセサイザーです．ツマミも鍵盤も一切使わない全く新しい演奏方法を確立しました．半田ショートでリズムパターンを変えるだけでなく，抵抗やコンデンサを直接取り替えることでドラスティックな変化を楽しむことができます．

ソルダリングシンセサイザーは16ステップのシーケンサと4トラックの音源を持っています．シーケンサは半田をショートすることでリズムパターンをセットできます．音源部分はT-Bridge回路で構成され、コンデンサと抵抗値の組み合わせにより様々なパーカッション音色を再現することができます．また、EQ調整やBPMも該当する部品を変更することで自由に変えることができます．すべての部品を自在に取り換えられるので、従来のシンセでは味わえない幅広い音作りを楽しめます．

The Soldering Synthesizer is a new type of synthesizer that is played with a soldering iron. We found a completely new way of playing music without any knobs or keys. You can change the rhythm pattern by electric shorts, and enjoy the drastic changes by directly replacing the electric parts such as the resistors and capacitors.

The Soldering Synthesizer has a 16-step sequencer and 4 tracks of sound generator. The sequencer can set a rhythm pattern with short circuit by the solder. The sound generator part consists of a T-Bridge analog circuit, which can reproduce various percussion sounds by the combination of capacitor and resistance. Also, you can change the EQ and BPM freely by changing the corresponding components. All components can be replaced, so you can enjoy an infinite sound making.

The sound source part consists of a T-Bridge circuit, and various percussion timbres can be reproduced by combining capacitors and resistor values. Also, EQ adjustment and BPM can be freely changed by changing the corresponding parts. All parts can be exchanged freely, so you can enjoy creating a wide range of sounds that cannot be experienced with conventional synths.

Battery Powered Eurorack Modular Synth!

video upload by John L Rice

"The second test with this battery pack is something I’ve wanted to try for many years with this case! Now it’s the ultimate portable go anywhere modular . . . anyone up for a gorilla flash mob MOTS? 😆 I still need to test how long it will run on a full charge and make or buy a better cable since the surrender one doesn’t allow the lid to close. I’m using a TalentCell brand battery model LF4100 #eurorackmodular #modularsynth #batterypowered"

Make Noise 0-Coast // First Ambient Approach

video upload by Dexba

"Almost 5 years after my first Make Noise 0-Coast, I got one again.

I don't even know why: I am slowly moving back to eurorack, but the 0-Coast is only marginally modular or rackable, so yeah, I got just struck by a lightning of GAS.

Anyway, this is my little welcome jam.

I only had three cables, the bare minimum for sequencing, and I decided to expand the sound with the help of the Hologram Microcosm.

I've heard a lot of experimental, noise, and harsh-sounding demos on YouTube, so let's see how it will work with something more gentle."
