Roland JX-8P Analog Synth Demo - Best 80s Presets (by Eric Persing who did D-50 sounds)

video upload by Dave Daves

"Playing chord progressions to show off my favorite JX-8P Preset patches - Eric Persing just began programming presets for Roland synths, this for the JX-8P was his very first of perhaps the most illustrious patch-programming career; he's most famous for the Roland D-50 sounds, especially #1 Fantasia which found its way into the GM General MIDI standard patch map (if you don't know it by name, you'll still recognize it), he did all the JV- and XV- later ROMplers too and I think XV-5080 may have been his last. I was raised to think that using presets without any editing is just lazy... but with the JX-8P they just sound perfect to my ears."

Roland Boutique JD-08 | No talking demo, sounds only | JD-800 reborn!

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello, everyone! Here's to you my 'NO TALKING DEMO' of the amazing Roland Boutique JD-08.

The JD-08 is the authentic recreation of the Roland JD-800 synthesizer in a modern and portable instrument.

With its retro workflow, evocative sounds, and powerful effects, the JD-800 was a favorite for top electronic music producers through the ’90s and beyond. Combining the original JD-800 waveforms with advanced modeling techniques, the JD-08 delivers the exquisite hands-on sound design of the original, along with hugely expanded polyphony, a two-part polyphonic sequencer, and other modern updates.

The JD-08 includes 64 presets from the original hardware and perfectly recreates the four-tone structure, 108 waveforms, and unique two-part multi-effects that are at the core of the JD-800’s intricate, evolving sound.

And there is so much more! The JD-08 has new patches plus 256 memory locations that let you dive deep into the huge array of controls to create new sounds for your music. And with expanded polyphony and two-part multitimbral capability, there’s even more room to stretch out your sonic ideas.

In this demo I will just let you hear what Roland have made for this little synth simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful factory presets."

FREE SYNTH: NODAL RED 2X - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing NODAL RED 2X, a FREE software emulation of the Nord Lead/Rack 2X by "The Usual Suspects", which brings back to life this iconic synthesizer in all its red glory!

"The Usual Suspects" is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the Motorola DSP563xx series of DSP processors.

This DSP has been used in plenty of virtual analogue synthesizers and other musical gear that was released after around the mid 90s, such as Access Virus A, B, C, TI / Clavia Nord Lead 2X, 3, Modular / Waldorf Q, Microwave II / Novation Supernova, Nova and many others.

And now they released a must have from the 2000'...a Nord Lead/Rack 2X perfect emulation. This synthesizer uses two Motorola DSP56362 and the synthesis engine of NODAL RED 2X is identical to the Nord Lead 2x and it can also load Nord Lead 1 presets.

In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning plugin simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful sounds."

A soundscape built around revised "Beeps" module

video upload by ParadisoModular

"This is a demo of one of my vintage modules that I just radically updated. First, a bit of history. Circa 1988, I was browsing the Hosfelt Electronics catalog, and saw a bunch of little circuit boards there that made different 'emergency' siren sounds. Of course, I couldn't resist buying all eight of them that they had, and designed a synth module around them that allowed me to switch (manually or via external signals) the audio output from any of them into the left or right channels on a common stereo mix. In addition to a linear mix, I also combined them via a chain of exclusive ORs (the VCOs on these units produced square waves), again selected by the same gates - this produced kind of a ring modulation sound (Exclusive OR's can be thought of as 1-bit multipliers). On the front panel, I also provided outputs from each oscillator independently, as well as the ability to inject independent voltage control into each oscillator.

Despite my attempts to leverage this module into different patches, it retained a distinct identity - e.g., the sound of a major urban emergency - that limited its usefulness. You can hear a short demo excerpt I recorded on it circa 26 years ago here- http://Paradiso.media.mit.edu/Outgoin... - I'm switching outputs from the alarm circuits randomly to left and right channels throughout - the first half features the linear mix and the latter half the XOR mix. You can clearly hear that this module makes a very strong statement -as such, it didn't appear much in my pieces over the years.

But I still saw big potential in it. 8 oscillators aren't much by today's digital standards, but as I can switch them into different paths dynamically, it's got promise. The main thing I had to do was to be able to turn off the LFO control of each oscillator that made the siren sounds and think about coordinated ways to control this bank.

So a month or two back, I embarked on this journey, enabling the LFOs to be switched out of the audio oscillator voltage control paths (but giving independent access to them all, providing LFO outputs on the front panel and in most cases voltage control of LFO frequencies), plus providing adjustable voltage control of each oscillator as well as different kinds of ensemble voltage control (e.g., controlling all 8, controlling the top vs bottom 4, controlling even vs odd channels), as well as being able to adjust the base frequency of the ensemble and the base for each independent oscillator. Witness the massive augmentation of the front panel, as well as the wild nest of wiring below to do this hack in the midst of this video.

But low-and-behold it's done. This isn't a voiced device - the oscillators are linear, hence don't hold tune collectively as you shift frequencies. This, for me, justified the hack - I've got plenty of oscillators that I can already voice and track harmonically - this unit is now about nudging frequencies collectively and independently to go through different kinds of dissonances and occasionally sweet spots in a deep ensemble fashion. Plus, if I want to, I can switch channels back into siren mode, or use their LFOs in more flexible ways (each of the LFOs sports a different kind of waveform).

OK, IMO it grew into the monster that I hoped it would become, as you can hear in this live recording. Here I routed both the linear and XOR outputs through different complex reverb units, fading them up in different ways and at different times, and switching the oscillator outputs dynamically into different channels using digital gates coming from other modules in my system (occasionally I would hold some or all of the gates to just let the thing drone). I also injected different kinds of ensemble control (all, even/odd, top/bottom) at different times to bend the frequencies a bit, driven by triggered envelope generators. All sounds come from this revamped 'Beeps' unit - one voice was routed through an octave divider to bring it lower, and some effects were used, plus the reverbs nicely put this beast into a dense dreamy space. Despite the complexity, it's one of the simplest patches I've made - you can see it in the little bit of pan-around video I put into the middle of the clip.

My usual disclaimer - heck, only 8 oscillators with simple control paths could be done trivially in software now (one of my hero-pieces, Dave Wessel's 'Antony', an inspiration here, used hundreds on IRCAM's 4x (or 3x back then?) circa 30-40 years ago), and there are probably Eurorack modules around like this now too, including some that I may already have. But this connects to something I made in my relative youth, turning it into the sonic tool that it wanted to be. I hope you enjoy this demo!"

Strange Module Interactions

video upload by Bata

This one reminded me of the sequence ratchet/rachetting effect in the recent Franke and Ruby and “Liar, Liar, 960 Denier!” 😅 videos, albeit a diffent approach.

"Showing some strange interactions between a few Behringer modules.

Reddit user n_nou offered this explanation.

'Ext Adv expects bipolar clock to cycle properly. Any polarity dip will do, even slightly below zero at minimum. EOC on Abacus is (mostly) unipolar. Mostly, because the exact 0 point varies depending on the function shape, so some shapes and frequencies run 1050 through only odd and some through all steps. Simple offset will correct/result in this behaviour and you can use any LFO for this, this is not specific to Abacus. Moreover, Ext Adv is not properly buffered, you can literally use it as a half wave rectifier. Just mult the signal to the Ext Adv and your destination, 1050 will sink the negative part of the wave and will mess up with unipolar outputs. Check unity output from Abacus, it flattens at maximum.

As to PP1, at high gain it will amplify even miniscule fluctuations in power supply, and since PP1 itself is very sensitive, it will result in pitch shifts.'

Not sure if this is telling the whole story or not but it's all I have to go off of at the moment."

"I forgot to upload this and now I don’t remember what was going on offscreen, but because the 1U DeltaLab Effectron II appears above the top EML 200, there must be a rack of 5U above, assisting the EML 200s."

Working with Ableton Live Racks and Macros: Roto-Control 2.0 Firmware Melbourne Instruments

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

"When working with Ableton Live racks and macros with Roto-Control 2.0 firmware, all instruments and effects racks will default to automatic macro mapping, whereby macro controls and names will be automatically detected by Roto-Control and mapped to Roto's knobs — indicated with light blue colored labels. This is applicable for all racks; instrument, drum, audio effects and MIDI effect racks, This also applies to individual racks that you may have made.

To disable automatic macro mapping and further customize displays, labels and haptics, press LEARN and begin to map knobs accordingly, as you would when learning other plugins and devices parameters. Pressing LEARN will disable the automatic mapping for that specific rack/macro. Manually mapped controls default to dark blue labels. Once you start to manually map knobs; colors, names and haptics can be further customized in the Roto-Setup App.

To return to automatic macro mapping for that specific rack/macro, CLEAR all manually mapped controls. Press LEARN, keep it pressed and touch the knob on Roto-Control you want to clear. There will be a prompt to CLEAR, touch the knob again to CLEAR the mapping.

IMPORTANT: Each rack must have a UNIQUE NAME. Racks with the default names Instrument Rack, Audio Effect Rack, MIDI Effect Rack and Drum Rack cannot be customized with the LEARN button – they must be renamed first. This is to ensure plugins saved to Roto-Control memory are unique and separate.
