"Here's some of the Richard Devine presets for the Rainmaker from Intellijel. The patch is two oscillator running independent melodies but they both have linear FM from the other VCO. So there's a feedback loop of FM from VCO1 frequency modulating VCO2 which goes back to frequency modulate VCO1 ... which goes to 2, back to 1 etc etc."

"Pairing the U-He Repro-1 softsynth plugin with the OTO Machines BAM reverb hardware effect. The Repro-1 is a software emulation of the Sequential Circuits Pro One. The BAM is a modern reverb effect based on 70s/80s reverbs like the classic lexicon.

Rhythm Ace FR-8L midi interface with sync and comparison to TR-77

Stereoping
Published on Aug 30, 2017

"Little video with 3 parts showing a midified Bentley Rhythm Ace FR-8L drumbox. 1st: sync-ing the Bentley to an Akai MPC over midiclock. Also demo-ed is the triggering of individual voices incl. Guiro. 2nd: I recreated the tambourine voice which is missing on the FR-8L. Problematic part is the 40 mH coil. The demo shows the sound of the recreated TB with 3 different coils (10mH, 15mH and 50mH). 3rd: Sound comparison of the Bentley to the Roland TR-77 which looks almost identical (well not in the video as i used a TR-77 voiceboard in a custom 19" case). 8 midiprogrammed loops will be fired alternating onto the Bentley and the TR-77 voiceboard. Slight reverb added here.

Roland MKS-20 review - Old school synth-pop tutorial workflow and LIVE performance

Espen Kraft
Published on Aug 30, 2017

"The Roland MKS-20 from the mid 80s. A fantastic retro digital piano module with analoge chorus and tremolo built in for immidiate 80s gratification.
The analog chorus board built into the module can be though of as a cross between the Juno 6/60 chorus and a Dimension D.

Elton John used it for years and Spectrasonics has included it in their Keyscape plugin recently to great reviews. A standard piano sound in many gospel recordings of the day.
Software doesn't cut it for me and I had to get the module. It's getting pretty rare these days so I'm happy it now sits in my rack.
I play it from the Roland S-10 in this video.

I use it mainly because of the preset 7. E. Piano 1. I find that sound irresistable for my 80s sound when I go for a piano/pad with reverb.

In this showcase episode I use that sound with the Chorus enabled and some reverb from a Strymin BlueSky and a TC flashback delay.
The track "Arrivederci" is performed completely LIVE. Just the drum machine providing a little beat. The Juno 6 arpeggiator has a hold function so it can play the same pattern throughout the track.

Listen to more of my music on: http://www.espenkraft.com

My tracks pay homage to all synth.pop acts of the 80'ies like Howard Jones, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Thompson Twins, Tears for Fears, Ultravox, OMD, Euryhmics, Duran Duran, Giorgio Moroder, Jean Michel Jarre, Jan Hammer, A-ha and many more.

A use mostly old gear on my tracks and among them Roland Juno 6, Alpha Juno 2, D550 and JX-8P, MKS-20. Korg DW-8000. Roland TR-626 drum machine. Yamaha DX7 and TX802 and drum machine RX11. I use the Novation Mininova as a vocoder on all my tracks. Effects are usually handled by Strymon and TC electronics. Sampling is done on my E-MU ESI-4000, Akai S1000 and Roland S-10."

Analogue Solutions Fusebox: Synth-Pop Demo!

Published on Aug 29, 2017 rezfilter

"*Headphones or speakers HIGHLY recommended!*

Here's another Fusebox demo track, this time around showcasing a more synth-pop geared sound palette.

All sounds are entirely Fusebox (sans drums) and were programmed, played or sequenced, and then recorded into Logic. Some tracks feature reverb.

The Fusebox Patternator was used extensively in the making of this track and was applied to the main bassline, adding filter dynamics and interesting resonant delights.

The bass sound was created live, while oscillators (sub too) were activated incrementally to thicken the initial sound heard in the video."

Retroaktiv PG-800 Mini - Random Tone Generator & Scratch Patch Buttons

Published on Aug 29, 2017 New England Analog Archives

See this post for one built into the JX-10.

"The PG-800 Mini is a miniature knob controller that mounts inside of the Roland JX-8P or Super JX. This video demonstrates the PG-800 Mini's random tone generator function, as well as the scratch patch function.

Tapping the WRITE button on the PG-800 Mini will generate a generic "scratch patch", which consists of two sawtooth waves, not detuned, through an open filter and a gated VCA. It serves as a great starting point when creating a new program.

Holding the WRITE button will generate a random program.

Knob Laden Heavily Modified KORG Poly-61 Analog Synthesizer SN 724389 w/ MIDI In

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

via this auction

"This is a very unique instrument. This Poly-61 was modified to bring a lot of the settings to the front panel. As you can see from the pictures, a total of 12 knobs have been added, as well as 12 rocker switches. The purpose of these mods was to allow hands-on, real-time editing of the synth's various parameters -- something that was impossible on the original Poly-61.

Although I'm not 100% sure, I am virtually certain that this is the instrument that was modified by a YouTube user named "rolandsh1000" who was apparently either an engineer or an incredibly knowledgeable hobbyist. If you search YouTube for his channel (put in the term "rolandsh1000 channel" without the quotes and you'll find it), you will see that he put out a series of two videos in 2009 and one more in 2011 about how he modified this synth and what the various mods do. [see here for all three] I strongly suggest that you check them out. I bought the synth from Perfect Circuit Audio about three years ago, here on eBay.

One huge bonus? It's got MIDI in! So unlike the original Poly-61, you can at least connect it to a sequencer or your DAW."
