The beautifully odd and maddening Motor Synth MkII: 3 things we love... and some things we don't

video upload by MusicRadar Tech

"When the Motor Synth first landed, it’s fair to say everyone was intrigued. Gamechanger Audio even had the likes of Jean-Michel Jarre and Richard Devine enthusing over “the world’s first electro-mechanical desktop synthesizer”. The original instrument made do with two independent voices and four-note polyphony from the eight motors, but plenty of improvements have been made. New to the MkII is the addition of a DCO with four digital oscillators and four-note-polyphony.

In this video, we explore the new features and explore the highlights of this new version – alongside a few things we're not so keen on."

video upload by midicake

"Is this the most continuously developed Music Device ever?

Midicake ARP just got a monstrous upgrade, and it's absolutely FREE! 🎹🔥

In this video, we dive deep into ARP V7's game-changing features that are reshaping the world of MIDI sequencing and modulation. Witness the power of:

Multi-dimensional control: Simultaneously tweak 4 synth parameters
Expanded modulation shapes with mind-bending deviations
Rhythmic innovation: From 16th to 32nd notes in extended cycles
Offbeat modulation for irresistible grooves
Seamless ARP-synth integration for organic, evolving sounds

Whether you're a seasoned ARP user or curious about taking your productions to the next level, this video showcases how V7 obliterates creative boundaries."

🐋 Roland JX-10 (Super JX) 🐋 🎧 (no talking) 🎧

video upload by Cutoff Frequency - gear stuff (no talking)

"This is a video demonstrating the sounds of the Roland JX-10 also known as the Super JX.

When I first heard this synthesizer I was blown away by the warmth of the sound. And to be honest, it still does. Once in a while I turn it on and indulge myself in its analog richness. I gives me strong associations with the Twin Peaks series, which I am a big fan of. It has a lot of cinematic qualities not present in other synths and it can even do some other nice stuff too. Released in 1985, this was the last analog synth from Roland until they recently released their JD series.

Thanks my love for playing so beautifully."

There are many ways to get to your goal.

An In-Depth Look at the Hi Five CV Controllers

"This is a full overview and video manual for the Hi Five system of remote CV controllers for Eurorack synthesizer.

00:00 Intro Jams
01:32 Features of the Hi Five
02:49 Patch breakdown with Dig It! and Manual Override controllers
05:34 Duet Jam with Astrid!

HI FIVE works with DIG IT! or MANUAL OVERRIDE as a remote CV controller system that expands the expressive and social range of your Eurorack modular synthesizer. Turn your solo jam into a playtime with kids, a modular synthesis tutorial, or a drum circle with friends by passing the controller around!

HI FIVE sends +12V and receives five analog CV signals over an ethernet cable from a (potentially) infinite variety of CV controllers.

Each CV channel can be attenuverted +/-10V and offset +/-5V before its output.

RJ45 development PCBs are available, and included in every HI FIVE DIY kit. Design your own dream controller!

DIG IT! controls its five CV channels with a joystick, FSR pressure point, a bright arcade-style LED solo button and a LED button and 45mm fader pair. The buttons have on-momentary off and off-momentary on settings.

In this video, DIG IT! is modulating parameters on a Mutable Instruments Plaits module in 2-op FM mode, as well as a generative analog algorithm passing through a quantizer that is producing its melodic line.

MANUAL OVERRIDE controls CV with 60 mm faders and LED button pairs similar to channel E of DIG IT! on all five channels. It's controlling a Mutable Instruments Grids module and several drum sounds.

Standard color schemes for LEDs, buttons and fader caps are Rainbow (red-orange-yellow-green-blue), and Biopower Green. For an extra charge, we will build custom any combination of these colors (and white with black faders).

HI FIVE is 8 hp and 38mm deep.

Peak current:
35mA with MANUAL OVERRIDE
80mA with DIG IT!"

meloDICER & MEX3 - individual MIDI channels

video upload by vermonagear

"Next month (December 2024), we’re releasing a new firmware update for the *meloDICER*. While it includes some minor improvements, the highlight is the ability to set an individual MIDI channel per voice. Translation? You can now send up to three melodies simultaneously to three different synthesizers using the *MEX3*.

In this demonstration, we’re using two *Mono Lancet ’15*s and a ‪@1010music‬ Fireball:

The synth on the right kicks things off with a deep bass sound, blending sawtooth on oscillator 1 with some noise.
The red nanobox? It’s taking care of a string-like sound.
And the Mono Lancet ’15 on the left is playing a classic sawtooth patch.

All three synths are polished with delay and reverb effects from Logic Pro, just to give things that extra shimmer.

So, what do you think about this new feature? Is it something you see yourself using often, or just another reason to stay up all night making music? Let us know in the comments—we’d love to hear your thoughts!"
