DSI End of '08 Update - LinnDrum Update and New MoPho OS
via Dave Smith Instruments:
"December 24 , 2008—Those of you who are paying attention (and we know there are at least a few of you…) may have noticed a relationship between how often the site gets updated and how busy we are. In fact, you might even be able to speculate when we’re getting ready to release a new product by the general lack of activity here. The absence of recent updates can mainly be attributed to the annual distraction of preparation for the NAMM show. We won’t be showing or announcing any new products this year (unless you count Mopho, which continues to fly out the door and is still backordered), but it takes a lot of work to get ready anyway. If you’re coming to the show, please stop by booth 6948 and say hello.
And, since we’re talking about NAMM and new products, you might ask, “What’s happening with the LinnDrum II?” Dave and Roger have been hard at work on the new design of LinnDrum II and now have a better idea of the ship date, which we currently estimate to be during the third quarter of 2009. We wish we could ship sooner but there's still a lot of work to do and it's important to us that we get it right. As a result, we don’t anticipate showing it—in any form—at the NAMM show. Thanks so much for your patience. We think it will be worth the wait.
In Mopho news, there is a new version of the OS that squashes a few annoying bugs. Go to the Current OS page for details. Also, the Mopho Pro editor is now available. Additional features include patch librarian functionality, program genetics, phantom banks, and automation for the sequencer section. We are also pleased to announce that Soundtower is working on VST and AU support with a projected release sometime in Q1 of 2009.
2008 has been action-packed, but fun. The Prophet ’08 received numerous honors and that is extremely gratifying. Mopho has already racked up a couple, as well (though only one we can talk about right now…). And Future Music has had the Prophet as the #1 recommended hardware synth on their gear chart for several months running. (Mopho just appeared in the latest issue at #4!)
Last, but not least, the ranks of DSI employees have swelled by an astonishing 33% in 2008. That’s right: there are four of us now. Chris Hector (AKA “the new guy” and “the young guy”) has joined us as Audio Engineer. Chris has already proved his worth by filling some significant “knowledge gaps” at DSI. Welcome, Chris!
Thanks to all the faithful for your continued support and to all of you who have more recently taken the DSI plunge. We literally couldn’t do it without you. We hope you have as much fun with our instruments as we have making them. All of us at Dave Smith Instruments wish you a happy, healthy, and peaceful 2009."

Korg MS-20 Fireworks Zone
YouTube via Newueel
"This must definitely be the safest fireworks on the planet. Two simple patches mixed up together for creating your own fireworks on a Korg MS-20. A fire arrow patch and a 1000 shot patch. Both patches are triggered with random time intervals using the ESP. Knob settings should be readable when watching in high quality/fullscreen.
Although this is the safest way to play with fireworks, in order to prevent accidents and other problems:
- Use at your own risk only
- Keep children and pets out of range at all times to protect them and their hearing — and to make sure animals don't get scared and bolt.
- Dont try to reignite a firework that doesn't go off. Leave it alone for at least 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water. :$
I wish you all a very happy and synthful new year!"

The Serge on felix inferious
felix inferious has a post up what makes a Serge modular different from others. It's a fascinating read and useful if you are not familiar with Serge systems. Note that it is written from the perspective of someone researching a system. If you've ever had GAS (gear acquisition syndrom) and have researched a synth ad nauseam, you will appreciate this post. The following is just an excerpt so do check out the full post for more.
"That brings me to my next advantage of the Serge. Functional density. In Serge-land, they call this "patch programmability". Depending on how you patch a particular function block, you can achieve different results. The "Smooth / Stepped Generator" (SSG) for example, can not only be a S+H, but also a VC slew limiter, VC LFO (triangle and square), clock, LPF/LPG, lo-fi VCO, zero-crossing detector, and more with any combinations of these (that's right, most of those functions only require one half of the module!). This module is even one-upped by the "Dual Slope Generator" (DSG) which has an unprecedented number of patch programmable functions, yet on the surface, it's just an AD envelope generator. It's this "patch programmability" that really attracts me to the Serge system. The flexibility and range of sounds possible in even a single panel (or even M-odule) is rather astounding."

Radikal Technologies Spectralis II
"Spectralis II is the even more powerful successor of Radikals sophisticated Hybrid Synthesizer. With up to 2 GB sample memory and tons of new features Radikal raises the bar again for our competition. Never stop the sequencer engine again with our fully redesigned sequencer engine that allows for on the fly realtime sequencing, recording of MIDI controllers and overdubbing. Quick Sound Selection for every part - your most favorite sounds are just one fingertip away. Transpose your patterns and step sequences with the attached keyboard and control the Spectralis parameters via MIDI from your computer. There is only one thing, we left untouched in our new design - the sound engine. Still the warmest and richest sound out there with the power of a modular synthesizer in a box.The Hybrid Synth
The SPECTRALIS II hybrid synth, fueled by the latest DSP- and true analog technology, delivers maximum tonal capabilities and leads you into a radical new world of sounds full of life and animation. The SPECTRALIS’ oscillator section takes sound design to new extremes. The 4 oscillators offer continuously variable waveshapes plus time linearity modulation, FM, PM, oscillator synchronisation, bit reduction and independent pitch and volume envelopes. The self resonating filters, a 4 pole lowpass and a 2 pole multimode filter with LP, HP, BP and notch outputs, use two highly improved true analog circuit designs to overcome the restrictions of modelling based synths. The way players can interact with the destinc-tive user interface makes the SPECTRALIS II hybrid synthesizer a killer live instrument with unbeatable richness and stunning flexibility. The synthesis engine takes advantage of a sophisticated step sequencing system - 32 independent parameter control lines with up to 192 steps let you explore an universe of previously unheard rhythmic effects and atmospheric textures. Punchy high resolution envelopes, are the cutting edge of todays synthesizer technology. They are the perfect weapon for the creation of floor pounding kicks, state of the art sequencer staccatos and numerous percussion effects.
The Filterbank
Rumbling noises, nasal sounding oboes, booming SciFi-drones and vocaloid solo-voices - all these different sounds have one thing in common - the fixed filterbank. Consisting of 8 bandpasses, one lowpass and one highpass filter, the filterbank allows the selective modification of certain frequencies. The spectrum of the sound is divided into separated frequency bands where each resulting spectrum slice has an individual attentuator. Like the instrument corpus forms the frequency response of an acoustic instrument, the fixed filter bank provides a new approach in the creation of realistic instrument timbres and bizarre FX-sounds. In contrast to big modular systems of the past, where the filterbank had fixed filter response curves and simple pots to regulate the levels of the frequency slices, the SPECTRALIS comes with sequencer controlled level modulation and in depth parameter editing like individual frequency band panning, Q and roll off slope control and filter stage spacing. The usage of the fixed filterbank isn’t limited to hybridsynth voices - simply feed any DSP synth part thru the filterbank or even any external signals from the external analog inputs. The SPECTRALIS II step sequencer comes with step envelopes, where normal step-sequencers only offer a fixed value setting per step. In conjunction with the filterbank, these step envelopes allow for instance the creation of a new drum beat by simply feeding noise into the filterbank and programming some decay steps for selected frequency slices.
The sampling section
In contrast to many other groove oriented sampling instruments, the SPECTRALIS II offers real multisampling and a 32 stereo voice polyphonic sound engine with powerful subtractive synthesis capabilities. Lush strings ensembles, dramatic soundscapes or earthshaking drum grooves - simply drag and drop the highlights of your personal soundlibrary from your computer onto the SPECTRALIS II. The highspeed USB2 interface transfers even large sample instruments in a few seconds. An included sample conversion utility allows importing wav- and soundfont2-files. After finalizing your music production, the entire song content with patterns, sounds and samples can be stored back to the computers harddrive. Satisfied with the backup functionality but still wondering about the LIVE situation? Don’t worry about that! The SPECTRALIS II comes with a SD-Card slot and has an onboard 1GB flash memory (expandable up to 2GB) for permanent storage of samples, songs and sounds. Features are only one side of the story - but realizing them with the latest Texas Instruments floating point DSP generation and featuring HiEnd Burr Brown DA converters gives the SPECTRALIS II the no compromise touch of a groundbreaking new star in the sonic wonderland of electronic music instruments.
The sequencing system
As a groove oriented system the SPECTRALIS II features a powerful pattern based sequencer playground with realtime, overdub and step by step recording as well as grid based drum programming. Additionally, the state of the art step sequencer opens a complete new universe of tempo dependent sound manipulations and freaky polyrhythmic sequencer battles. Designed with the live situation in mind, you will enjoy the absolute freedom of realtime manipulations during your session. Mute/unmute tracks, exchange the motifs on the fly, tweak volumes, panning or FX-sends with the built in mixing console or transpose an entire pattern by simply pressing a note on your keyboard. Editing of sequences can be done without stopping the sequencer - one of the most desirable features in todays groove oriented live instruments. Start your session with a simple basic groove and add steps on the fly until the audience is totally freaked out. Are you into more serious music production? Well, the SPECTRALIS also comes with a song section, where you can arrange the patterns to complete songs."

VAKO ORCHESTRON DOUBLE "C"
via this auction"Vako double "c" model orchestron!!!!! Exceedingly rare, exceptional, dual manual version of the legendary orchestron, only a handful of these dual manual versions remain in existence, only fifty units, including all models, were ever made!!! I unearthed this beauty in a forgotten, hidden back room, in a basement of an ancient music store and recording studio in butte, montana! Of all places!! It literally sat, in a room, for 28 years in a flight case, forgotten. Can you just believe it???? Well, it's all true, kiddies. So now, you got a shot at owning a piece of progressive rock history, and i don't think it will pass by this way again. You can google up all the info you desire on this unique and wonderful contraption, of course, it's the much more developed big brother, to that upstart snotty optigan, and it's other bratty sibling, the chilton talentmaker. They all read optical light discs, and, i have it on pretty good authority that these optical light discs are all about to return to production, with custom versions available to god's special people. That means expanded beyond the original master tape libraries. So, on the double "c", you get to play two different discs at the same time!!! What more could you ever want? Anyway, it comes with the aforementioned heavy duty flight case, but, and i want to shed a tear here, (sic) the original (8) optical light discs are corrupted from exposure. But, i do have them, and the special custom original partitioned case that they originally came in! So, there it is. What are ya gonna do? Take out 2nd mortgage on the house, or, rob the kid's college fund? I know, beg the folks for an advance on your inheritance!! >>>>>>>>>>>>> vako dual manual double "c" orchestron!!!" via Ivan

Expert Sleepers Minky Starshine
via Seth on AH:
"I'm surprised that in all of this discussion nobody's mentioned additive synthesis (or at least if they have I don't recall it). I have an interesting soft synth called Minky Starshine, from Expert Sleepers, which lets you adjust the harmonics, control any of them with any of three envelope generators and modulate them with LFOs. On top of that, it shows you what the resulting wave will look like. If someone could send the desired levels of the harmonics in decimal format (i.e., fundamental at full volume is 1.0, next harmonic is 0.75, third is 0.5, etc.) for what the various waves are supposed to be I can plug them in and post some screenshots of the resulting waveforms. Maybe I'll even dig out my scope as well.
It's darn cool and it's only $29. You can play with it all you want in demo mode as well.
I'm not usually a fan of soft synths, but this is one of the ones I like, mostly because it's so unique."
Official description:
"Minky Starshine is at heart an additive synthesiser, augmented with possibilities for subtractive synthesis (i.e. filtering) and pulse width modulation.
A waveform is created by summing 16 independently controllable 'partials'. By setting the relative levels of the partials appropriately you can create familiar waveforms such as sawtooth and squarewave, but you can also create an infinite range of timbres in between.
As well as simply setting the levels of the partials, you can flexibly assign them to three 'groups'. Each group has a very flexible envelope generator and an LFO, so you can change the balance of the partials (and therefore the timbre of the sound) over time.
The LFOs have a wide frequency range and can also be used as ring modulators.
The waveform as a whole can have its pulsewidth controlled. An envelope and LFO is provided, as well as control by note velocity.
A resonant filter is available, capable of lowpass, bandpass and highpass and a continuous range in between. Again, control by envelope, LFO and note velocity are possible.
A flexible modulation section is provided, capable of chorus, flange and delay effects.
The factory presets showcase some of the range of sounds that can be produced.
If you'd like to read more about the plug-in before downloading it, the user manual is online here."
