Finally a working polyphonic MIDI to CV converter with auto tune.

video upload by Craig Barnes

"I've been working on this polyphonic MIDI to CV converter for about 2 years. I've built several other polyphonic MIDI to CV devices, but I needed an 8 note 16 bit device for accuracy. So previously signals like modulation, bend, interval, detune were all generated on separate CV lines. This converter combines all signals onto a single wire for each VCO and filter. So in total there are 24 CVs generated, 8 gates, 8 triggers, 8 velocity CV's, plus 8 spare CV lines if needed.

The Teensy has a feedback loop from each VCO via a 16 way mux chip and during auto tune each VCO in turn is fed into the Teensy and the frequency of 8 notes from each VCO is sampled and corrected against the correct frequency. The difference is then stored in a table and the remaining 120 corrections are extrapolated from the 8 samples. These are then stored into the SD card and reloaded at boot time.

It accepts 5 pin DIN MIDI and usb MIDI or it can act as a MIDI host to a usb keyboard. I hope to make it the basis of an 8 note analogue polysynth that actually stays in tune.

Functions are controllable over MIDI

BEST SYNTH PRESET EVER USED | ROLAND D-50 | "Soundtrack" Chord Progression | #1991 #Seal #Violet

video upload by Microflat

"Watch the central synth chord progression of Seal's 'Violet'. One of the most lush and beautiful songs ever produced, from his 1991 debut album "Seal". The song features the perfect use of the strangely complex and otherworldly eminent 'I-37 Soundtrack' preset of the Roland D-50. I added a) the 'I-47 Spacious Sweep' preset to enhance the flow of the song's key synthesizer intro elements as well as b) a bit of (my own) pitched vocal to emphasize the importance of the unique melody.

Video clips were recorded in 4K (60 fps) on a Panasonic Lumix GH5 and were edited in Adobe Premiere Pro running on a HP Zbook 15 G6. Audio was recorded in 96 KHz 32 bit directly into the Solid State Logic SSL 2+ USB-C audio interface via an Apple iPad Pro running Cubasis 3. Vocal was recorded in 48 KHz 24 bit directly into an iPhone 15 Pro Max. All audio output has been processed in Adobe Audition for optimal broadcasting."

Space Oddity on Synthesizer featuring the vocals of David Bowie - Synth Oddity OB-X8 and Trigon-6

video upload by Sean Christopher Synthesizers

"I present to you David Bowie’s SYNTH ODDITY. Space Oddity has always been one of my favorite non-synth songs but always thought that it would sound killer with some analog synth goodness. I used only the Oberheim OB-X8 and the Sequential Trigon-6 for the arrangement, so it truly is a Synth Oddity for sure. This version features the incredible vocals or Mr. Bowie from the original song stems. I also have the instrumental version, but on a separate video, so that I may hope to earn fifty cents from the video. LOL That version can be found on the link at the end of this track. I hope that you all enjoy my effort. 😊"

Stylophone CPM DS-2 and Oberheim TEO-5 Drone Synth Jam 1/19/2025

video upload by I Love Cats and Synths

"I got the Stylophone CPM DS-2 analog drone synth and the Oberheim TEO-5 polysynth together for a nice relaxing jam.

Recorded on a Zoom H6 recorder and Valhalla Vintage Verb and a little limiting and compression added in Ableton. All other effects including delays are from the synths themselves."
