Only 16 Samples?! This Minimal Eurorack Techno Slaps!

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"I wanted to see what I could create using ONLY 16 samples.

This is a really basic setup with triggers and modulation only, no pitch sequencing.

This setup also does not allow for any velocity programming, every sound triggers at 100% max velocity - making it almost impossible to program build ups to help with the ebb and flow of the track.

I also did not have any room for riser or impact sounds which really help with keeping the intensity level a bit higher.

All things considered though, it's not a half bad track - just a little basic, perhaps... ;)

Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!

"Awesome example of Korg’s first vocoder. No original mic, previous owner upgraded it to a XLR versus its orignal connector. It has a very unique sound. Sounds great. It is missing the “headphone out” jack but I never had a need for it. It can be replaced if needed."

"Very cool sounding Ensoniq ESQ-1 for sale. This is a hybrid synth with digital oscillators and analog filters. Recently serviced and checked out. Has a new RAM backup battery and holder. During servicing the synth was cleaned and vacuumed inside and out. One cracked key was replaced. I have worked on a few of these, and this is the cleanest one I have seen! Original Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is bright and highly readable. All keys and buttons works properly. Sounds thick and plays great! Includes ROM cartridge (missing label)."

FM Synthesis - A Practical Tutorial Guide

video uploads by ChrisLody

"Here's something I've been meaning to get round to starting for ages, a practical guide to FM synthesis. In my experience FM tutorials usually over explain all the wrong things and rarely get as far as the important things like the predictable way operator ratios change the waveform and frequency responses. So I've tried to approach things from an entirely practical view point showing you how to make saw, square, noise etc with filter like responses."

Organ demo 17/20: Wersi Comet with Wersimatic CX1 drum machine and MFX5 Magic Fingers unit.

video upload by organfairy

"Sorry about the long title, but the problem in saying that you play a Wersi organ is that they all came in several versions. Most of them were sold as kits that you assembled yourself and often people upgraded them with new circuitry that Wersi released over the production run.
The Comet was initially released with another drum machine called Wersimatic IV and no 'Magic Fingers', which is a unit that adds arpeggio, automatic chords, and a (primitive) sequencer to the organ. I demonstrated that in an earlier video • Wersi Comet Magic Fingers MFX 5 demo [below]

In this demo I play eight songs using a reasonable amount of the features in the Comet. I am not using multitrack so everything is played 'straight'. I did make quite a few edits along the way, as I am not capable of playing eleven minutes without goofing up something. But it is possible to play the entire demo as it is, because I have added drum fill-ins that are long enough to make it possible to change the settings between songs - the Comet doesn't have user presets, so if there isn't one of the 20 'Wersi Registrier System' fixed presets that suits the song, you have to press a lot of buttons to change the sound.

The songs I play are:
Abracadabra (Steve Miller)
Här kommer Pippi Långstrump (Astrid Lindgren / Jan Johansson)
Τα Παιδιά του Πειραιά / Never on a Sunday (Μάνος Χατζιδάκις)
Chattanooga Choo Choo (Harry Warren / Mack Gordon)
Gungorna och karusellen / Gyngerne og karrusellen (Karl Gerhard / Dix Dennie / Herbert Steen)
Kald det Kærlighed (Lars Lilholt)
Krummes sang (Michael Hardinger / Rasmus Schwenger)
Flower-Power-Kleid / Flower power tøj (Hans Christian Bruhn / Georg Buschor)"

Wersi Comet Magic Fingers MFX 5 demo

video upload by organfairy

"Since my Wersi Comet started to come back to life again there are three questions I have been asked surprisingly often in the comments: "Does your Comet have a 'Magic Fingers' MFX5 module, does it work, and what does it actually do?"

The first part was easy to answer: Yes, it does have an MFX5. However, until recently it seemed like it wasn't working and I nearly gave up on trying to repair it. But then I noticed a wire that had detached from one of the plugs on the backside of the MFX5 circuit boards in a hard to see and even harder to reach place. 

After reattaching it the magic started - once I found a cryptic German user manual online.
And so to answer the third part of the question I have now made this video where I go through the things it can do:

Arpeggiator 0:00
     Song: "Da' Ya' Think I'm Sexy" (Rod Stewart/Carmine Appice/Duane Hitchings) 2:30
Marimba effect 3:50
     Song: "Blue Spanish eyes" (Kämpfert/Singleton/Snyder) 4:35
Automatic Organ Chords 6:13
     Song: "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" (Frederick Loewe/ Alan Jay Lerner) 6:55
Sequencer 9:00
     Song: "Tjo Och Tjim Och Inget Annat" (Ulf Peder Olrog) 11:05

The only things I don't demonstrate is step-recording of a sequence - which is basically entering the notes one by one followed by a tap on a pedal, and saving/loading from a cassette. I cannot do that because the cassette interface plug is connected to the drum machine and I don't have the instructions on how to connect the MFX5 module to a cassette recorder. The person who build the organ just left the connections on the circuit boards unconnected."
