Bad Gear - The Y2K Bug

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. While we - the inhabitants of this post-everything dystopia - live in the best times for being a synth nerd, our ancestors and younger selves who just survived the Y2K Bug had to deal with a much bleaker market for electronic musical instruments .

Today we are going to talk about the SH-32. This unholy offspring of a JP-8000 and an MC-303, 2002 not-a- synth not-yet-a groovebox and Buchla Easel for kids design abomination is not only peak Roland Music but also seems to be the blueprint for the Roland SH-4D .

00:00 Intro tune

Supercritical RedShift 6 // Analog Weight with Multiple Personalities

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Redshift 6 is based on the Supercritical Demon Core Oscillator and Neutron Flux Filter eurorack modules.. both of which offer a huge amount of flexibility for analog oscillators and filters. Supercritical have been able to do this through designing a system where they can control the character of the filters and oscillators under digital control.

Which is why this is called a variable character synthesizer. It has 5 distinct characters, from smooth and gooey to nasty and dirty howling resonance.

Although the final firmware has not yet been 100% implemented - I thought it would be interesting to demo the overall principles and how it all works."

0:00 What is it?
1:46 Hardware
4:28 It's got 5 Distinct Characters
7:11 It's got 6 Complex Oscillators
13:23 Filter.. or is that Filters?

"We've got to get this on every track": How A Place to Bury Strangers made an LP into a DIY synth

video upload by MusicRadar Tech

User demo below.

"Between his noise rock outfit A Place To Bury Strangers – dubbed 'the loudest band in New York' – and his pedal company Death By Audio, Oliver Ackermann is no stranger to DIY noisemaking. The band's latest album, Synthesizer, takes things a step further though. Not only did Ackermann design and build his own DIY synth, which is featured on every track of the album, but the instrument's circuit design also provides the cover art for the vinyl LP, allowing fans to recreate the synth at home – albeit with a substantial amount of DIY required.

Synthesizer by A Place to Bury Strangers is out now:

Craig Padilla - Solina Movement 4 (ARP Solina String Ensemble and Source Audio Pedals Improvisation)

video upload by Craig Padilla

"This is more ambient spacemusic from the 2024 album 'SOLINA' by Craig Padilla. The improvised performance was captured live on three cameras, performed on an ARP SE-IV Electronic Music Synthesizer using COLLIDER and LUNAR effects pedals by Source Audio which run through a long decaying looper plug-in called ElotTronix XL. Everything you see and hear is performed live in the moment without any overdubs.

The ARP SE-IV String Ensemble is a classic synthesizer that was used on many albums by a variety of artists throughout the 70's. It certainly has a warm and inspiring sound which makes it so much fun to play."
