Syntrx II: Say hello to my little friends

video upload by Richard DeHove

"The Syntrx II is typically marketed as a type of modular synth and with many modular performances there's no keyboard. My Syntrx skills aren't at the "no keyboard" level yet so as a variation I thought why not use that versatile star of many situations, the trusty DB-01? It has a keyboard mode and while I'm at it I can feed the signal into the Syntrx.

So a few quick pokes of the matrix and the DB-01 was alive as a source. Even better the DB-01 controls were affecting the Syntrx tones in some FM-ish way. In fact all the DB-01 parameters were doing something to the main pitch!

So that was very interesting and over the course of a couple of hours I tried to isolate and refine the effect. I failed utterly. The more I fiddled the muddier it got. So I went back to the original and this is the result. Truly I don't know what's going on here but it worked. And instead of tweaking the knobs on the Syntrx all the tweaking happens on the DB-01. The sound has definite DB-01 flavors yet is clearly beyond what the DB-01 could do alone.

The routing I attempted was for the processed DB-01 signal to go out of the Syntrx and into the Zen. The core Syntrx sound went through the internal reverb of the Syntrx then to the DAW. So there's two stereo pairs. The sound is exactly as you see it - there has been absolutely no EQ, compression or effects added.

The video is my mashup of two US civil defense videos from the 1950s.

This video looks at the original ARP 2500 brochure which included six sample systems. Sample system 5 started with an ARP 2600 and added a wing cabinet with ARP 2500 modules. We create the Sample System 5 using the Behringer ARP 2600 and Behringer ARP 2500 modules in a Behringer Go Case. We also price out this system.

10/1/24 (manual freq) Pasco Scientific 9301 & WA-9307A + Yamaha EM-100 + Peavey 1300 + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"The limitation of these not-synthesizer-synthesizers is part of the appeal. Here I’m practicing using the frequency knob of one of the Pasco Scientific 9301 dual function generators to create a melody, then adding four droning frequencies from the WA-9307A Fourier synthesizer and, eventually, a droning second 9301. It’s all mixed within the Yamaha EM-100, which has an internal Accutronics tank. The four frequencies from the WA-9307A are panned pretty wide left and right, but in this video we hear only the left output channel on the EM-100, which runs through the Peavey 1300 delay and is panned center on the Mackie Onyx 1640, where it gets another delayed reverb from the CXM 1978, which is set slightly fast to create a limp or shuffle to the stacked quarter notes. The 9301 sounds already have a lot of odd phasing, which is increased by the spring reverb, but the old Peavey 1300 delay stacks the notes (and the spring reverb) and furthers the phasing, while also adding pitch anomalies similar to wow and flutter on tape."
