"This Akai AX 73 is in fine condition both cosmetically and functionally. Everything works exactly as it should, and there has never been any issue with it. this synth is built like an icebreaker. It is an all metal case, and indeed a heavy, solid beast.

I have always been very impressed with the auto tune function of this six oscillator machine, and have never had any difficulty whatsoever with the calibration, despite the 100% analog nature of this synth. I also enjoy the broad selection of oscillator waveforms, which is greater than that found on the Roland Polys which were the closest competition to this synth back in the day."

How To Learn Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer – Tutorial: Fundamentals of FM Synthesis, Algorithm

Published on Dec 2, 2016 Power DX7

"This is a foundation level tutorial and it’s the first Yamaha DX7 & FM synthesis tutorial from the FM synthesis tutorial series. This how to learn tutorial gives you an overview of the most important aspect of the Yamaha DX7 and FM synthesis, Algorithm.

Algorithm plays a critical role in the FM synthesis sound design. It determines how all Operators (oscillator with envelop generator) interact with one another. The DX7 algorithm offers both frequency modulation synthesis as well as additive synthesis. Having 32 options of different algorithm, the DX7 FM synthesis offers greater versatility of sonic creation.

Future tutorials will include FM synthesis sound design, as well as further explanation of algorithm."

How To Create A Basic Patch On An Analog Modular Synthesizer

Published on Mar 23, 2017 TheDaydreamSound

With a synthesizers.com modular system.

"How Modular Synthesizers Work

If you’re toying with the idea of experimenting with modular synthesizers but are intimidated by all of those wires, just know that it’s far simpler than it looks. In this video we’ll start with a basic patch to break the ice as and give a straightforward introduction to patching with a modular synthesizer.

The guts of a synthesizer are visible with modular synthesizers which allows you to get under the hood and modify/patch things anyway that you choose. This gives you far more control than you’d have with a traditional modern synthesizer where things are pre-patched by the manufacturer giving you a great deal more options when creating sounds.

Thanks for listening Everyone!

So you're hearing two "petals" of QUANTUSSY into cocos. As you see, I'm not patching at all but the QUANTUSSY makes a fairly complex modulation within. The left knob I occasionally wiggle is master tune while the right knob is 'chaos(master modulation depth)'

Optigan Recordings by Johnny Largo

Published on Mar 22, 2017 optigandotcom

"These are demo recordings of the Optigan made by in-house musical director Johnny Largo (aka Johnny La Padula - see http://optigan.com/info/optigan/emplo...). Much of this material has not previously been heard, having languished on the original studio master tapes for 45 years. This will give a good sense of what the Optigan can sound like in the hands of a true professional, as well as serve as a general demonstration for the various discs. Sorry, I don't have recordings of Johnny demonstrating every last disc that was released, but I've posted what I do have."

Such a trip. For those not familiar with the Optigan it was like an optical record version of the Mellotron. The discs were like large clear flexi-disc with waveforms drawn on them. The Optigon would then play the waveforms as you played its keyboard. The Optigan was released in 1971. You can find previous posts on the Optigan via the label below, and of course you can find a ton of info on http://optigan.com.

Recapped Roland Jupiter 4 w/ MIDI I/O

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Cosmetically in great shape and electronically in future proofed condition. A complete professional overhaul was done this year at Waveformless which included a complete recap of every voice card, power supply, and programmer board, a tuning and calibration. Every key was cleaned and all sliders and knobs have been fully lubricated and throughly cleaned.

The FULL MIDI I/O kit was installed which includes both the expanded memory section as well as all the page 2 functions. The I/O MIDI kit comes in two options and some owners choose to install only one component, this Jupiter 4 has the complete full kit. This allows for total control over MIDI for all the sliders on the JP4. Not only that but a MIDI output is also installed, which means you can actually record slider movements and keyboard playing straight from the Jupiter 4 into your favorite sequencer. The I/O MIDI Kit for the JP4 is the most comprehensive MIDI solution. Not only that, but it uses a faster CPU so MIDI triggering is absolutely lightning fast. If you want to synchronize the arpeggiator to MIDI there are many options for dividing down the MIDI clock, but it will work just as the original did over the trigger input as well.

You will be hard pressed to find a better Jupiter 4 anywhere. A lot of money was invested into creating the most stable, fully tuned, and fully integrated for 2017 Jupiter 4 that's ready for serious use. It sounds absolutely superb and the tuning is rock solid due to the extensive recapping of each individual voice card."

Melu Instruments Freak

Published on Mar 22, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Freak from Melu Instruments is a dual digital phase synchronized oscillator for use in Eurorack modular synthesizers. Both oscillators can be phase synchronised to each other, each with dedicated audio outputs. This allows one to process both oscillators separately, providing a sharp and well defined tone for bass and leads. The modulator, which can reach audio-rate frequencies, helps to create a complex and interesting timbre reminiscent of early Casio phase modulation synthesizers and DX7-style FM."

Hyve Touch Synth Now on Kickstarter

You all should be familiar with the Hyve Touch synthesizer featured numerous times here on MATRIXSYNTH.

The Hyve Touch is now seeking funding on Kickstarter here. There are both DIY and pre-built options.

The following are some details for those new to the Hyve Touch:

"Hyve Touch Synthesizer is a fun, expressive musical instrument that anyone can make and play. It responds to human touch, even your slightest finger movements give you powerful control. Turning these gestures into sound allows you to play music like never before.

Expressive touch, analog synth

Slide your fingers across the surface to explore new ways to touch sound. It’s a 60-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer that is controlled by pressure, horizontal, and vertical movements of each finger on the surface. Even the smallest wiggle of your finger makes the sound come alive, giving expression to the music you make.

Explore and harmonize

Notes on the Hyve are arranged so that you can easily explore harmonies and tone combinations with small movements of your finger.

The bottom half is arranged like a piano keyboard. Each key senses pressure, vertical position, and horizontal position. Moving vertically allows you to sweep through octaves and harmonically combine them into evolving tones. Horizontal movements push the sound right and left in stereo. Touching the bottom row causes a pressure-controlled pitch bend.

The top half uses a hexagon grid to put notes that sound good together right next to each other. Every adjacent note is harmonically related: straight up is a perfect 5th, up to the right is a major 3rd, and up to the left is a minor 3rd. This means that one finger can play a chord and slide to the next chord in the song. Each hexagon also senses pressure and horizontal position like the bottom half."

OTO MACHINES BAM INTERFACE GUIDE

"This is a tutorial on how to use the OTO Machines BAM. I go over each part of the interface and explain all the different options and settings. I'm using a Korg Volca Bass as a sound source (off screen). The BAM is a very simple unit to operate and you can access 90% of the functionality directly on the front panel. There are some hidden settings available but these aren't critical to every day use. In my opinion the interface is really well designed."

Native Instruments releases FORM 1.1 Update

Published on Mar 22, 2017 Native Instruments

"March 22, 2017, Berlin – Native Instruments today released FORM 1.1, a significant update to this distinctive sample-scanning synthesizer. Free for existing users, FORM 1.1 adds a number of new performance and editing features and expands the content library significantly.

FORM is a powerful synthesizer that uses samples to create entirely new synthetic textures. It combines easy-to-use functionality and highly usable presets with creative performance features.

FORM 1.1 includes over 200 new presets and corresponding samples – taking the total to over 400. The new presets all include multiple Performance slot variations, and the NI Sound Design team has also added variations for most of the existing preset library. Many of the new presets and variations take advantage of the new features in the update. Updated, the library reinforces FORM’s versatility for all contemporary electronic styles, covering Leads, Bass, Keys, Pads, Hybrid Instruments, SFX, Soundscapes, and Sequences.

FORM 1.1 introduces a number of new features, such as ‘Center’ and ‘Width’ controls to modulate scan range, allowing even easier control of sample playback and more consistent results. A new page of motion curve presets helps create distinctive choppy-style sample edits. Manual scan control allows complete hands on control of sample-playback. Volume faders for sound variations in ‘Perform’ section avoid jarring volume jumps when swapping Performance snapshots. The ability to copy / paste parameters from one Performance slot to another makes creating new variations far easier. Compact View places key performance controls in one simple interface, ideal for live play. All parameters can now be automated, making it simple to catch inspired live tweaks. Finally, there are new controller pages for KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboards and all versions of MASCHINE, allowing even deeper integration with Native Instruments hardware.

FORM runs in REAKTOR 6 and the free REAKTOR 6 PLAYER and is available for purchase now at the NI Online Shop for $99 / 99 € / ¥ 12,800 / £89 / AU$159.

Existing FORM, KOMPLETE 11, and KOMPLETE 11 ULTIMATE owners can download and install the free update using Native Access.
