Yamaha CS70M: Live Deep Dive of the Most Advanced Analog Synth Yamaha Ever Made!

video upload by Vulture Culture

You can find the CS70M vs CS80 comparison video here.

"The Sequel to Yamaha's CS-80, the Greatest Analog Polysynth of all time (and certainly the most expensive) is still quite unknown compared to its siblings. In this livestream we'll be checking out the oscillators, filters, ring modulator and do some practical sound design until the Blade Runners shut down the stream!"

Melodic Randomness: Chance Delay & Dual RVG (Eurorack Probability & Random CV for Generative Patches)

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Visit AJH Synth @MachinaBristronica (UK) Saturday 30th. Experimentation with using 2 random event & voltage generator modules within a melodic, sequencer-controlled, modular synth performance. Randomness/probability/chance can form the backbone of a generative music patch, but also in more manually controlled situations, and are a great companion for step sequencers.

Here a purely analogue step sequencer is used, with the time variation function of the Dual RVG serving as the master clock, and the Chance Delay adding probability to each step occurring. In the previous video the Chance Delay was randomly passing the gate signals from a sequencer to the synth voice it was controlling, so some steps would be missing. This time the module is placed before the sequencer, so that all steps will occur, in the correct order, but randomly. Since the gates it is receiving is from the master clock, all of the sequencer steps will remain in time with the music.

The Dual RVG also simultaneously produces 2 random control voltages for each clock pulse, and so I'm using one of these to modulate the frequency of the Entropic Doom, which I'm using to generate a simple percussive sound. The new Triple Cross module is also featured here, and cross-fades between 4 pitched drones, forming a melodic chord, but with 2 separate LFOs controlling the cross-fading, so that the mix between the 4 notes/sounds is constantly changing.

2 of the VCOs from the drone sound are passing through the Wave Swarm, creating a buzz of additional sawtooths to thicken their sound. These 2 are heard through the Fixed Filter Bank 914 later on, which creates a more choir-like timbre to accompany the output of the Triple Cross. The Sonic XV is used as both a filter and a wave-folder for much of the melodic sequence, where it is at times accompanied or replaced by the same VCO passing through the Ring SM and then Transistor Ladder Filter into Low Fat VCF.

Come see and hear the modules this weekend at: https://machinabris.wpengine.com

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.

XILS-lab Releases Ring’X Virtual Effects

Press release follows.

XILS-lab releases Ring’X representing latest addition to lengthening line of virtual effects as inspiring and musical multi-effect plug-in par excellence


GRENOBLE, FRANCE: audio software company XILS-lab is proud to release Ring’X — readily representing the latest addition to its lengthening line of virtual effects as an inspiring and musical multi-effect plug-in par excellence — as of September 28…

Duly developed as an inspiring and musical multi-effect plug-in for seriously satisfying anyone’s needs, Ring’X is certainly worthy of the oft- overused French phrase par excellence — literally translated into English as ‘by excellence’ — as evidenced by its feature-packed GUI (Graphical User Interface) that is as easy on the eye as it is easy to use.

Ultimately, it is anchored around a six-slot so-called ‘Effect Ring’ that allows anyone to insert the effects they need in the order they want, choosing from a selection of deeply-modifiable classic analogue effect emulations: ANALOG FILTER — modelled from the CMS 3320 chip, used in the exciting-sounding (early-Eighties-era) Elka Synthex subtractive synthesis-based polytimbral powerhouse (much loved by the likes of famous French electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre, who still uses it to this day to create the distinctive sound of his onstage laser harp), providing five (LP24 — 24db Low-Pass, LP12 — 12db Low-Pass, HP12 —12db High-Pass, BP12 — 12db Band-Pass, or BP6 — 6db Band-Pass) self- oscillating filter types; ANALOG 18db FILTER — modelling the specific sound and behaviour of an 18db self-oscillating filter from the breakthrough British EMS VCS3, which made musical history upon its introduction in 1969 by being the first commercially portable synthesiser available anywhere in the world, thanks to its innovative modular matrix-based patchboard dispensing with the telephone exchange-like cabling of other (much larger) modular systems in favour of making space-saving connections with (removable) coloured pegs; CHORUS (BUCKET BRIGADE DELAY); DELAY — stereo delay that copies the input signal to the left and right channel; DISTORTION; PARAMETRIC EQ — a three-band affair with each band type selectable from six standard filter types; PHASER; and REVERB — with three (L — Large, M — Medium, and S — Small) algorithms. Each effect provides four MODULATION points with a SOURCE and DESTINATION menu associated with an AMOUNT knob.

Standard STEP and specific LOC locator sequencers for modulating effects are also available — the loop goes through a defined number of steps and each time the internal clock is fired the next step is triggered, in the case of the former, while the latter is designed to be synchronised to the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) with the loop being synchronised to the DAW bar (or a multiple of the bar).

But that’s not all. Another area well worth highlighting here features four input followers; a TRANSIENT tracker ‘module’ — detects the transients present in the input sound, each transient triggering a simple envelope without attack and release controlled by the RELEASE knob; S- DETECTION ‘module’ — detects sibilance present in the input sound, and also useful for separating high-frequency parts from those with more middle and bass frequencies; GATE ‘module’ — removes all the parts from the input sound that are below a specified threshold; and a STEREO SPACE ‘module’ — powerful stereo processing that allows users to dynamically position their audio signal into a true stereo space.

By being so flexible in both operation and resulting effects, it stands to reason, therefore, that Ring’X should come complete with a raft of presets. All are accessible via an integrated (single-window) Preset Manager, making it easy to find the right patch in seconds, manage presets, sound banks, and create custom tags. That being said, then, inspiring and musical multi-effects are only a click away, but those wishing to dig deeper to seriously satisfy their needs are always free to do just that! After all, as the latest addition to XILS-lab’s lengthening line of virtual effects, Ring’X is, indeed, an inspiring and musical multi-effect plug-in par excellence — in the literal sense of those (French- originating) words.

Who better, then, to put Ring’X in its rightful place than the Frenchman primarily responsible for bringing it into existence — namely, XILS-lab CEO Xavier Oudin (credited in the multi-effect plug-in in question’s user manual with: Concept of Ring’X and original UI design; Digital Signal Processing and plug-in coding; [and] the graphical user interface). “For a number of years, customers have been regularly asking me to create an effect featuring filters extracted from our synthesizers,” he begins, before adding: “This idea grew into providing a sort of Swiss army knife-style tool capable of sculpting audio with modulation fully independent of its content, and also able to create any kind of de-esser and transient shaper with far more possibilities than standard such effects. Eventually, Ring’X was born.”


Ring’X is available to purchase as an iLok-protected virtual effect plug-in (installable in up to two independent locations) at an introductory promo price of only €69.00 EUR until October 31, 2023 — rising thereafter to an MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of €179.00 EUR — directly from XILS-lab via its dedicated webpage, which also includes more in-depth information and several must-see video demonstrations, here: https://www.xils-lab.com/products/ringx-p-172.html#
