"In this Live Deep Dive I'll show you how glorious this rare all-Analog Vintage Synthesizer is, by going over the filter (same components as the Matrix 12 and Xpander from Oberheim) and oscillators and showing you how to program your own sounds!"

"The story of the giant Korg MS-20 including photos and information never seen before!

Huge thank you to those who helped solve the riddle!"

A search on KORG MS20 Eductional and Giant MS-20 will bring up additional posts. A few were listed for sale on eBay at one point.

Isla Instruments Teases new Caladan Synthesizer

via Isla Instruments

"From now on, I shall be known as...
Muad'Dib

Well, today is a milestone, everything is ready and has been sent off to fabrication to make the first hardware prototypes.

Caladan is (will be) an 8-part multi-timbral polyphonic analog / digital hybrid synthesizer.

We are carrying on the legacy of a fantastic, groundbreaking synthesizer called the 'Parva' by FutureSonus. Building on its DNA, we are putting our own twist on it to make it the perfect partner to the S2400.

Same form factor, same aesthetic (yes, same wood sides if you want)

It will bring polyphonic playback of multi-sampled instruments (SF2, SFZ, +) out of the box.
But the special sauce is the 8x expansion slots inside the case which will allow me to go completely fucking nuts with add-in voicecards.

OPL3, SID, SEM, SH-101, MiniMoog, Pro-1, etc etc... all these flavours can be realised on expansion cards and all accessed by a common UI.

Voicecards can of course be analog OR digital. The intention is to open this side of the synth up to allow 3rd party developers to create cards also.

I'm literally creating MY 'Dream Synth' and I want to take you along for the ride.

First hardware should be here in a few weeks!!

Here's a couple of renders of what the prototype will look like.

FUCKIN YES!!!!!"

Nothing but LOVE for the JUNOs

video upload by Starsky Carr

"As I have a Juno 106, Juno 6 and an Juno 60 here in the studio, I thought it was a good excuse to have a play with these 3 vintage Junos and look at the differences - functionally and sonically. And yes there are some sonic differences so now I now why Roland Cloud have both the 60 and the 106 for the System 8."

"Visit your favorite retailer or click here for more information about Univer Inter: https://bit.ly/42SarJl

Univer Inter is an 8-channel MIDI-to-CV converter, and so much more. It can be configured to send any type of MIDI signal per channel through the UI app at the new-and-improved Noise Engineering Customer Portal. If eight outputs aren't enough, chain two through the TRS jacks on the front panel. Plus UI has a tiny footprint: just 6HP.

The app is easy to use and offers tons of options. We built in handy presets to get you started but if you want to go your own way, we also include over 20 behaviors for CC, note, clocking, polyphony and more. Each output can be configured to send to whatever channel you wish, and build in custom per-output delays as needed.

We'll continue to add behaviors, but we're taking requests too.

If you're looking for a way to bring MIDI into your modular system, you'll be amazed at the flexibility and ease of use of Univer Inter."

NEW! AJH Synth Complete Systems - 6U & 9U Pre-installed Eurorack in Powered Cases

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"In response to demand we are now offering a range of ready built systems! Visit https://ajhsynth.com/Minimod.html for a closer look at what is in each case.

With each size of system we have selected the best combination of modules to give maximum versatility - of course the full configuration has been fully tested and designed for maximum productivity and reliability so that you can concentrate on the most important part of using any modular system - making music!

Putting together a complete Eurorack system from scratch can be quite a daunting prospect, so we have taken the pain out of it for you. Trying to choose the best mix of modules for maximum versatility and arranging them so that there is no unused space is often just the start of the process. We also need to find the power consumption of each module, and then calculate total power draw per rail for the chosen case to ensure the PSU can provide sufficient power without being overloaded. There is also the problem of having audible noise on the power rails from a noisy power supply, which can range from barely noticeable to unacceptable. And we didn't even mention the time it takes to put it all together, then fully testing everything to make sure it is all working as it should.

The AJH SYNTH Eurorack range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.

Dirty Electronics and Max Wainwright's Radical22 Gets an Update

Radical22 from Max Wainwright on Vimeo.

Radical22 (second edition)

"The Radical22 goes from sharp clicks to glitchy fm to an mp3 wash to harsh noise to video game sawteeth, to silence.

The module has 64 programs/algorithms that can be selected by a control voltage. Each program has a unique characteristic and chaotic behaviour that can be selected and explored through control voltages.

The Radical22 is ongoing work by Dirty Electronics and Max Wainwright born out of the idea of Microcomputer Music: a music made from mini microprocessors and raw electronics that is always in-flux, noisy and may be overwritten."
