PATCHES BY PETER URBANEK (free)
Reviewed by Mike Metlay

Peter's patches tend to be organized in sets, with several subtle variations on a theme, and named accordingly: VOICE 1.1, VOICE 1.2, etc. It seems that when a patch deviates enough from the basic form, he gives it a name of its own and groups it after the others of its ilk. For this reason, Peter's patch tape is organized quite neatly, making it easy to audition all of a particular type of patch. Heavy use is made of both Levers, both Pedals, Pressure, Velocity, and Release Velocity on many patches, for effects ranging from vibrato to ENV shape changes and resonant sweeps on note attacks. It should be noted by all that to Peter, "vibrato" means everything from triangle-wave warbles to deep noise-wave growls. His Multi Patch setups are meaningless: they're left over from the factory patch tape. Blanking them would've been nice.

In contrast to the previous set, the patches here bear little resemblance to the sounds after which they're named. Each sound group, like VOICE, STRIN, CHURCH, etc., appears to describe the general character of a sound rather than it's true intent. Peter seems to enjoy the "analog synthesis for its own sake" approach to programming; he eschews realism in favor of timbre.

And what timbres-thundering basses, blasting church organs that seem to belong to any church I've ever heard of, bizarre sound effects (though not on the level of the next tape reviewed) with random LFOS, rich filtered string pads ... all heavily overlaid with a grimy analog crunch that threatens to bury the listener. There are a few slightly altered factory patches as well, but these have also fallen to Peter's grim analog touch.

In fact, there aren't that many different kinds of sounds on this tape; it has a definite "one flavor" feel to it throughout, and that flavor doesn't lend itself to realism, so if you're looking for variety or realistic sounds, look elsewhere. But if you want to learn exactly why no digital synth can cross an Xpander and live, these sounds would be a fine place to start."

"If you’re looking for an RA Moog–era Minimoog Model D on a budget, this is a great opportunity. The previous owner replaced all four of the original mainboards with new units from SynthRestore.co.uk; unfortunately, the original boards have been lost to time. While this does impact the instrument’s value from a collector’s standpoint, it is fully functional and performs reliably.

The exterior cabinet is in excellent condition and may have been rebuilt or replaced, along with a fresh set of knobs. Overall, it’s a fantastic player’s instrument with vintage character at a more accessible price.

Serial No. 1117"

"The Moog Memorymoog Model 345A is an early-production version of Moog’s flagship six-voice, three-oscillator-per-voice analog polysynth from the early 1980s. It delivers the same massive, layered sound the Memorymoog is known for, combining classic Moog filters with extensive modulation. The 345A designation mainly reflects internal production labeling rather than a feature difference. Today, it’s regarded as one of the most powerful and collectible analog polysynths ever built. This one was just serviced by our in-house technician...

Service notes:

-Installed kenton midi retrofit kit
-Modified bottom panel and keybed frame as per instructions
-Fitted midi jacks and push button switch to reaer panel
-Recalibrated entire unit and bench tested for several hours"

"The Jupiter 6 is a fantastic analog polysynth that's a little bit of an underdog compared to its siblings the 4 and the 8! However, it is very powerful and is likely overlooked due to the immense fame of the others. Its a dual VCO 6 voice with cross mod capabilities, sync, and triangle, square and saw waveforms. The filter section includes standard low pass but also band pass and high pass operation.

The filter envelope routing is not preset so envelope 1, 2, or both can be assigned to control the it! The LFO section is fully featured including a random output and onset delay. Of course there is full preset saving and plenty of performance oriented controls. The one downside is that it does not include chorus or ensemble like many of the other Roland polys! It does have the coolest color scheme and those futuristic aluminum sides though. The external analog ins include arpeggiator clock in, patch shift, pedal hold and CV for the VCA and VCF. Of course it has MIDI as well so there is tons of interfacing available.

This synth is in excellent working condition and was recently serviced by our in-house technician. It arrived at our shop in need of a little TLC, and it has since received several replacement potentiometers and sliders. A few knob caps are mismatched in color, but these cosmetic quirks have no impact on its performance. Everything has been fully tested and is functioning perfectly.
