Everything you wanted to know about the LOGAN VOCAL SYNTH but were afraid to ask

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"We finally found a Logan Vocal synth - and since this incredible unicorn doesn't get captured very often we thought the internet deserved quality photos and a video demonstration of all its functions. Or most of them - we actually missed a few features so stay tuned for a Part II later this summer.

Most of the info is in the video already but a quick introduction and recap would go something like this:

Logan Vocal Synth
weight 50 kilos
61 keys and 61 slider potentiometers

The upper panel is dedicated to :
instrument selection buttons, panning left and right, the monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers and their modulation controls.

The front of the panel is dedicated to the instrument sections Strings, Piano and Voice.

The architecture of this instrument is unique and might have been a bit of a gamble that sometimes worked out great and sometimes less so.
Our service technician had to slightly change the trigger circuitry to render the triggering of the notes more reliable and generally stable.
We also decided to non-invasively modify the split point to continue down to the lowest note on the keyboard instead of starting over two octaves up at the 24th key and below.
You operate this with the foot pedal switch, and it can be disengaged to return to the factory setting.

Some of the engineering wonkiness was decided to be kept though and you can hear the fluctuations, a slight tremble, in a lot of the sounds."

"the cards were picked

usual subject - the subject of the book is the main inspiration
abstract thought - allows only the most esoteric equipment you own
the canyon - the piece of this session is primarily rhythmic, therefore it should emphasise its percussive nature

hope you like it"

Still Underrated? Prophet X in 2025

video upload by No Time to Play

"The Prophet X was one of the first hybrid synthesizers I got. It combines two VCOs with two sample engines — a structure that was truly groundbreaking. Whether any successors will match it remains to be seen. It’s a fascinating and versatile instrument, though unfortunately it has been discontinued. The tool used for importing samples was developed by a third party, and honestly, it’s quite difficult to use. I think it’s a real shame — the lack of a truly user-friendly software companion held the Prophet X back. Otherwise, I believe it could have continued to sell well.

This video showcases some of the key features of the Prophet X. Hope you find it helpful!"

Tone2 BiFilter2 is Now Freeware

Press release follows:

"After nearly 20 years BiFilter has become vintage and even though it's no longer profitable to remain a commercial product, we feel that more people should deserve an opportunity to enjoy this useful tool. That's why we decided to release one last update and turn it into freeware. This means that BiFilter is now available for free and you are allowed to share it with your friends. We want to say a big THANK YOU to all customers who support the development of our products, by purchasing our software!"

What is BiFilter?

BiFilter is a stereo multi-mode filter with a selection of 47 different sounding filter types. These filters are known from our famous Gladiator synthesizer. You can combine all filters with 8 additional distortion types, FM, AM, wave-shaping and lo-fi effects to create new sounds. A high precision display shows the frequency response of the filter in real-time. Since you can always see and hear what's happening, BiFilter is very user-friendly.

Synth Show - Ep231 - SuonoBuono Polyvera Synth

video upload by GEOSynths

"The moment I first heard the Polyvera Synth by SuonoBuono, I knew I had to have it. The perfect Hybrid Synthesizer with Digital Oscillators for both Wavetable and Samples, however also the ability to use aliasing/noise as a Sound Source, passed into Analog Filters and great FX.

I liked it so much I asked the founder and developer of the Polyvera from SuonoBuone to join me for an Interview back in April."

video upload by GEOSynths
