240107 - Jamuary2024 - Liven MEGA Synthesis Jam
video upload by ChrisLody
"Full Disclosure: I occasionally take on freelance work at Sonicware on an hourly rate producing synth & sample sound design, beta testing, checking English text, video manuals etc. This video wasn't paid for directly but as a result of my work with Sonicware it is marked as Paid Promotion
7 days into Jamuary 2024 and I've only managed 2, not really what I'd planned! But at least now the reveal of the Liven MEGA Synthesis is out of the way I can upload some jams using it. Plus this isn't an official Sonicware video, so I can mention the fact that it's designed to emulate the experience of making music on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis hardware unlike in my last video, hopefully to the surprise of almost nobody 😄
I didn't create any fresh patches for this jam, it's all just presets and there's plenty to choose from (including my work of course).
From this video you should be able to hear that the general lo-fi vibe of the YM2612 has been replicated nicely. Part of that is due to a design flaw in it's 9 bit DAC which distorted the sound at quite volumes, often called the Ladder Effect. You can turn that on and off per track on the MEGA.
Apart from the delay on the lead sound I'm not using any effects here, the distorted guitar lead sound is created using just FM synthesis. On the original Mega Drive/Genesis adding delay would have had to be done by duplicating notes onto another channel of the chip using up polyphony, but the MEGA has an effects section so this is a regular guitar pedal like delay effect."

"A track from my latest album named Overtone which is available on Bandcamp, Spotify and other streaming sites. Gear used are Jupiter 6, Pro-One, Evolver, Eurorack modular and a MPC2500 for drums. Recorded with Ableton & some synth sounds ran through a zoom MS-70CDR pedal. Thanks for checking this out.

2024, The First Ambient Performance: Life like a "Reverse Journey"
video upload by Meng Qi
"The previous year-end performance was recorded, and this time, the performance was particularly enjoyable. When I listened to the music again, it reminded me of the name 'Reverse Journey.' It originally referred to inns and hotels. 'Heaven and earth are the temporary lodgings of all things, and time is the passing guest of a hundred generations." It means that heaven and earth are the temporary lodgings of all things, and time is the passing guest of a hundred generations.
The synthesizer's arpeggio sets the background, like a young boy setting off on a journey of learning. The melodious Kalimba melody represents the consistent and brief joy in the early part of the story.
However, my friends, we are all familiar with the story of the "hero's journey,' aren't we? It's about the call, the test, friends, enemies, caves, hardships, the return, and resurrection. This is the story told in the later part of the music."

"A rare opportunity to own a Rhodes Chroma + Enabler!!!
All voice cards recapped, new PSU, CC+, Original re-foamed road case for the Chroma and a Brand new Orange Calzone for the Enabler (will add photos of cases soon just need to pull them out) Programming manual, Performance manual, Interface Manual, Dual Foot switch, Volume Pedal, sequence Pedal, CC+ Midi break out box, Behringer BCR2000 with the special Chroma overlay plus other misc collectable stuff like the OG brochure, parameter chart and print ads as pictured.
Chroma is perfect working order, i spent a fortune having it refurbished, all voices pass tune on start up no issues sounds amazing not to mention the Enabler which is brand new, I waited for 5 years for my number to come up but selling a couple of big items to make my escape into the wilderness as easy as possible, things change. Physically it's in great shape for it's age not perfect but still lovely.
Pick up from LA is much preferred but can ship as they come in cases just wont be cheap, if you're serious it's an option we can discuss no problem."

"Everything has been looked over on this synth and there are no issues with it at all. The ribbon cable connecting the voice boards to the motherboard has been replaced. The potentiometers have been lubricated, a substantial amount of ICs have been replaced to prevent failures in the future, the power supply has been upgraded, and a few CEM ICs have been replaced that were somewhat problematic. The synth passes auto tune and has been fully calibrated. All features are demonstrated in the video I uploaded to YouTube."
