"Classic 6 Voice Synth with velocity dynamics and aftertouch from the mid 1980's. Works great and comes with a solid custom flightcase.
Can be easier edited via a computer with the free editor / patch librarian: JAX’8P V.2.1.0
There are twelve oscillators that are digitally controlled which means that they stay in tune, and give the JX8P a silky smooth sound.
The six filters are all analog, and feature a unique configuration that was designed by Roland to have a smooth character.
The analog sound engine features two envelope generators, cross mod, sync, and can be layered in a unison mode (4 osc per key, 3 note poly) or mono (12 osc per key, mono).
The MIDI implementation is the main feature of the JX8P that makes it so much greater than other polysynths such as the JX3P or Juno range."
Cirklon Jam: AJH Synth, Oberheim Two Voice, Tempest
Published on Nov 5, 2017 nikarga
"A quick test drive of my newly acquired Cirklon... A simple 1 bar loop with a fair amount of wiggling :)
Setup:
- AJH Minimod System with Dual LFO's and DH-ADSRs
- Oberheim Two Voice Pro
- Make Noise B&G Shared System
- DSI Tempest
- Eventide H9 effects pedal with Blackhole Reverb...
Recorded in 1 pass with no additional effects other than a touch of reverb on the Tempest.
"This is THE fattest sounding (and most accurate) recreation of the vintage Model D. It is based on the legendary RA Moog transistor VCOs from the late 1960s used in the Moog modulars. Only around 300 very early vintage Model D's used these VCOs. Moreover, as part of the package you also get the Dual LFO & VCA module providing 2 free running LFO's that can be sync'd together! The KB37 is a fantastic case with normalized pitch/gate connections from the Keybed to the VCOs reducing overall cable clutter. Built from metal, it is very sturdy and comes with full Midi In/Out and Midi over USB. It also has line outs and an on-board arpeggiator, clock, glide and note priority features with ZERO menu diving. What you get: 1x Waldorf KB37 3x AJH Vintage VCOs 1x AJH VCF 1x AJH VCA 1x AJH Noise & Glide module 1x AJH Dual LFO 2x AJH DH-ADSR 1x AJH Mult with overdrive switch for VCF & VCA 1x custom dust cover imported from US MSRP new: £2,850 I am a serious gear collector and all my items are immaculate."
"Fragment is an online collaborative additive / spectral / granular live-coding web. platform, the spectrum is created by a live GPU script, the generated visual is then converted to audio by an additive/granular/spectral process.
Fragment is a programmable noise-of-all-kinds software and excel at sound design by combining two of the most powerful synthesis process with a live coding aspect, Fragment also excel at visuals.
This is a video of a live additive + granular ambient soundscapes session which demonstrate pixels-based delay and the soon to be released update of the improved granular synthesis/sound engine.
The video also demonstrate some kind of "vector based synthesis" by using a XY widget in Open Stage Control (through OSC) with the 4 channels volume mapped onto the widget axis resulting in cross-fading of the 4 channels.
The sound in this video is produced by 4 audio server instances (distributed synthesis) on a single i7 6700 machine, the overall CPU load can be seen on the top left corner along with number of partials for each channels, the load generally sit around 5% with peak at ~30% @28:00.
Most of the sounds heard in this video has a delay applied with a simple pixels-based delay (4 lines) which mean that the delay come from Fragment, not from the DAW, this delay can be heard on several sections and can be differentiated by its parameters being tweaked, notably around @22:00.
The granular synthesis engine was battle-tested and improved, many bugs were fixed resulting in big improvement on the sound quality, moreover pitch shifting is now implemented with linear resampling.
The audio server was also improved and is now able to drop frames meaning that if the client is too late sending its pixels frames, the audio server compensate by retaining its last state, this improve the audio quality greatly when few frames are dropped, which is to be expected with browser reflow or high load, frames drop can be heard extensively in videos previously released, there is now near zero audio issues due to frames drop.
The update should be released this month.
9 samples are loaded and used in this video, all of them are single sounds of real or virtual instruments.
"First few patches with the Alesis Andromeda. Still haven't gotten into the sequencer or deeper modulation options. Still, even after only a few hours with it, I'm pretty impressed."

"I'm building a Snazzy FX Eurorack modular synth system for awesomely distorted and heavy drone music. Here's a first jam with it. I'm exclusively using Snazzy FX modules in this video, so there is no other module involved (the Doepfer Multiple you see doesn't actually do anything)."

"Fifth Electronic Music Festival comes to Birmingham and this time around it includes an all-day free electronic music event featuring talks, demonstrations, interactive sessions, synth manufacturer attendance, a room for attendees to set up and show off their synth gear and a number of free live performances!
In March of 2018 the fifth ‘The Seventh Wave Festival of Electronic Music’ takes place across three days. For a relatively small festival The Seventh Wave continues to get some of the biggest names in electronic and progressive music.
This time around you can feast your eyes (and ears!) on Wolfgang Flur (Ex-Kraftwerk) who, let’s not forget, is one of the original members of Kraftwerk and Ulrich Schnauss, who as well as being a distinguished solo performer in his own right is a ‘modern day’ member of electronic giants Tangerine Dream. To cap it all, the Festival finishes with Ian Boddy (DiN Record Label Owner) who is one of the founding fathers of the electronic music scene in the United Kingdom.
Tickets can be purchased for the individual paid events from Skiddle and for the free event which runs from 10.00 am until 5.00 pm people can just turn up on the day, stay for a few minutes, or get hooked and end up of staying all day!"
"A Drone Poem on my beautiful Buchla 100. This patch uses the 185 Frequency Shifter as a phaser (by modulating it slowly and mixing the outputs with the unaffected signal). See http://myblogitsfullofstars.blogspot.... for more"
"This is a mash-up of two Stevie Wonder songs, I Wish and Superstition. My right hand is still in alot of pain from a motorcycle accident on October 1st and not completely responding but I did what I could. 4-legged cameo is Charlotte. Lucky she didn't jump on the stool. Would've been a cool video 'though. Details below.
High lead is a Roland A-37 playing Animoog on an old iPad, pad is played on a Roland A-70 using its internal sounds, a Roland Alpha Juno 2, Korg Microstation and 6 Shruthis. Clavinet is a Kurzweil K2600XS and the Rhodes is obvious.
Bass is from the Eurorack modular, using a Eurokorn sequencer, RYO Paths switch, YuSynth Minimoog filter and Living VCO. The 3 channels from the Eurokorn go into the switch and are manually switched from a footswitch at my right foot using a Monome Walk module. Drums are from two Bastl Tea Kicks and Manhattan Analog SVVCF filter. Envelope generators are from Doepfer and Nonlinearcircuits. VCAs are MFOS bits I put together.
The, uh, groove on the bass, the double-plucking sort of thing, is done with the delay from a Disting Mk 1. That was trial and error."

"a 90 BPM track with mother32 sequences (2)
1 sequence on mother1
1 seuence on mother3(triggers mother2)
some sub37 seq
some korg radias strings
a lot of FX"
"new jam for my a piece each week series with just two moog m32
The melody sequences are driven by the keystep for the top m32. Bottom m32 handles all the rhythmic elements and pulsating bass, which is triggered in sync by the top m32."
"Here's an energetic little song which was written and recording using the wonderful Soulsby Atmegatron. I hope you enjoy it!
Everything you hear (including the drums) is coming from the Atmegatron using its 'default' firmware. Very little processing has been applied during mixing - basically nothing more than rolling some bottom end off a few sounds, so it's pretty much Raw Atmegatron you're hearing!
I hope you enjoy it - I had a blast composing and recording it!
The visualisation is done with the excellent "PrettyScope" from Soundemote: https://www.soundemote.com/prettyscope
"It features low-z outputs (closer to mic than instrument) on xlr jacks. Going straight into my keyboard amp, to me it sounds much cleaner and better than other 6 operator racks/modules I've played in the past. It has a common patch set in tf 1 & 2, that detuned, gives a thick and full sound across 16 voices. Tf #3 currently has a soundtrack type patch set. 18 operators total, and this rack is quite on the heavy side, so the shipping calculator will have the correct price"
"One Oscillator Challenge. No post processing allowed. Piston Honda modulated by Stillson Hammer, Double Andore, Kermit, Math, DPO and Chronoblob. This begs for filtering but the rules are the rules."
"Very simple setup. ARTURIA Drumbrute for drums, ofcourse... GMSN Puremodular for bassline. Novation Circuit for the chords. Recording through the Fostex cassette multitracker. Can't say much about this little setup. Just listen.

"A Tale Of Two Filters
Two Cascaded OTA filters in the Eurorack format compared side by side in Low Pass mode:
Intellijel Polaris
and
Omsonic RNF
00:00 - 02:02 Open sweeps, high resonance
02:02 - 04:05 Rhythmic pattern sweeps, very wet
04:05 - 06:08 Pattern
06:08 - 08:11 Pattern +1 Oct
Patch Notes:
Audio Damage Sequencer One driving
single sawtooth from Intellijel Rubicon
Into each VCF both enveloped by Maths SUM (ch1 ACC ch4 GATE)
and modulated by AD SeqOne LFO (SIN & SAW @ 256 steps)
4-pole out to uVCA enveloped by Dual ADSR
Open sweeps are the same patch with the gates silent and the VCA bias cranked up
No effects
As each module features on-board attenuators for everything I did my best to match scaling and offset between the two filters. I also spent some time comparing input drive (COTA filters seem to be very sensitive to input levels).
On the open sweeps I was unable to get the resonance on the Omsonic to the full screech I wanted so I feedback patched some of the 2-pole into Input B and seasoned to taste"
"Synth Jam Saturday! Access Virus Nord Lead 2 JP-8000 JX-305
Synth Jam by Rik Marston **Watch in HD!** **TURN IT UP!!**
Ahhh it feels like 1999 again.. all Virtual Analog Synthesizers
in the studio right now... Techno Synth-Pop Industrial EBM anyone?
LOL! So this is right after I hooked everything up and I was running
a MIDI & audio check to make sure it's all working...
Nothing too serious, just making sure all I have to do is play the
Roland JX-305 and they all respond - at one time, on any part or
MIDI channel I need. I feel just like VNV Nation, Apop, Velvet Acid Christ, Depeche Mode, BT, Crystal Method, UBERZONE, Prodigy
coming on right now..... and a taste of 808 STATE.... oh yes!!!!!!!!

Since I was learning how to use the Moon 517 and Krisp1 OCTO I decided to throw a camera up and record some of it but I didn't take the time to make sure I had everything setup well so the focus is weird and during editing I didn't take the time to explain what is taking place so . . . this may be of interest only to people looking to buy the Moon 517 or Krisp1 OCTO . . .and maybe not even then?? ;-)"
And a track:
He Who Brings Fire Waits For No One
Published on Dec 8, 2017 John L Rice
"This music was done at the tail end of the recording session for my previous video https://youtu.be/o9ygPNKcSGU but I decided to make a separate video for it. It features the Moon 517 VCF and Krisp1 OCTO LFO although you don't really see them.
The patch is 4 MOTM-300 VCOs, two are set to static drone notes and sent to separate L & R Moon 526 mixers and two are voiced with MOTM-800 EGs and MOTM-190 VCAs and then also sent to the mixers. The output of the mixers go to the L & R inputs of the Moon 517 VCF in Separate mode and the Krisp1 OCTO is slowely modulating the 517.
I'm using a Roland A-88 keyboard to control the two voiced VCO via a MOTM-650 MIDI to CV module and the gate out is also routed to a Moon 511c EF that modulated the speed of the OCTO. And a Moon 568 trigger sequencer is modulating the 517 for some rhythmic content.
The outputs of the 517 go to an Allen and Heath MixWizard 20S mixer and well as the Roland Integra-7 that is playing the high voice brought in half way through and controlled by the same keyboard.
The only effects used are Strymon BigSky reverb and Timeline delay which are connected via the 20S effects send/return channels.
