Oberheim TEO-5 - Can it do the OB6 Patch 007 Broken EP?

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

A very common question I am asked is can the TEO-5 do the infamous OB-6 - Patch007 Broken EP? so I set out over the past couple of days, tweaking, and programming to see how close the TEO can get to the OB6 Broken EP Patch, and I am happy to say although they are very different synths, the TEO can get remarkably close!

Here is a demo of Two Patches i will include in Labyrinth Vol.2

First Patch 'SM OB6 Broken EP' is as close as I could get to my OB6
Second 'SM TEO Broken EP' is a fuller, noisier version which has a bit more body to it.

Enjoy!
Scott.

5 reasons the Yamaha CS-80 is a Performer’s Dream

video upload by Jose's Vintage Keys

"The Yamaha CS-80 is more than a legendary analog synth — it’s a full-body performance instrument. In this video, we explore five features that made the CS-80 truly ahead of its time: from its expressive polyphonic aftertouch and velocity-sensitive keyboard to its iconic ribbon controller and real-time modulation controls.

Discover how a team of organ engineers created one of the most playable synths in history — and why no modern instrument has fully caught up.

Featuring:
• A deep dive into the CS-80’s unique keyboard and ribbon
• The story behind Crazy Horses and the Yamaha YC-30
• The return of poly aftertouch (finally!) in 2019
• How the CS-80 shaped the sounds of Vangelis, Toto, Springsteen and beyond"

Oberheim’s SEM sequenced with Metal Fetishist

video upload by Body Synths

"I had the opportunity to borrow an original Tom Oberheim SEM reissue from a friend and this video is a selection of some sounds I came up with. The 2 Metal Fetishists are in sync and being used as sequencers for the SEM’s pitch and gate CV inputs. Aside from that I tried to keep the patching to a minimum. What can I say about the SEM? it is very fun to play and it sounds absolutely amazing. I loved playing with the filter resonance to get classic Oberheim textures. As for the Metal Fetishist, sometimes I like using it as “just” a sequencer for my monophonic synths, so I thought this was a good opportunity to showcase how I do it. Feel free to ask questions in the comments. I hope you liked this one!

The Swarm by Atrium Instruments

video upload by DECIMA1



DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

​Knob-For-Knob Functionality
We at Artium Instruments are committed to knob-for-knob functionality. Every feature of The Swarm is directly mapped to a knob, button, switch, or jack, ensuring effortless control. There's no need for menu-diving or complicated sequences of button presses to access features; everything is conveniently accessible at your fingertips.
​
Curated, Onboard Effects
With over a decade of experience in the effects industry, we have carefully curated a selection of effects that seamlessly complement the synth core. Unique to The Swarm is its capability to use the onboard effects with other equipment, allowing you to route external audio through the inputs on the back.
​
Plug and Play Functionality
The Swarm utilizes a USB-C MIDI host for simplicity and ease of use. Most modern class-compliant MIDI controllers with USB functionality should plug in and work immediately with zero setup. Additionally, The Swarm provides power to your controller, streamlining your setup process. For older controllers that only have DIN connections, a USB to DIN converter can be used to ensure compatibility. (These converters typically cost $10-20)
​
Quality Craftsmanship, Intentional Design
We've invested considerable thought into crafting the overall feel of the instrument. From the layout of the knobs to the choice of colors, artwork, and the weight of the enclosure, every detail has been considered. These details matter to us because we recognize that the connection a user forms with a piece of gear is almost as crucial in the creative process as the sounds it produces. We hope you can feel the love and passion we've poured into every aspect of The Swarm, from its sonic capabilities to its design aesthetics.​
​
Open Source Platform
Artium desktop synths use an open source platform known as Axoloti or Ksoloti for development and implementation of its products. Click here for details on the open source platform being used.

SYNTH CORE

Oscillator
The Swarm features a SuperSaw oscillator with 8-note polyphony. This oscillator is composed of seven individual saw waves stacked on top of each other. The magic unfolds when you detune the waveforms by applying a frequency offset, resulting in one of the most massive synth sounds available.

1. Bristronica 24: MyVolts The Silent Alchemist Nears Shipping

We caught up with Caroline who gave us the latest update to the *Silent Alchemist*, a versatile power hub designed for musicians. Featuring five isolated USB-C outputs and a high-wattage sixth output capable of delivering 100 watts, the device can power a Mac with the remaining outputs providing 20 watts each. Its independent circuits ensure noise-free operation, catering to a variety of devices including the Dreadbox module and Sysmo slope generator.

The Silent Alchemist uses innovative step-up power tips to convert USB-C input to the correct voltage for various devices. There's also new feature: an uninterruptible power supply allowing seamless transition between wall and power bank sources. Also introduced were updated cables, such as silver candy cords and floating ring TRS to TS cables, expanding connection flexibility. The Silent Alchemist is expected to be available in December with a competitive pricing strategy.

2. Bristronica 24: Circuit Happy ML2M Clock Sync module updates

At Bristronica 2024, we caught up with the creator of the *ML2M*, who introduced us to the latest version. The ML2M is a compact Eurorack module with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing seamless synchronization with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and iOS music apps using Ableton Link without the need for cables. It either connects to an existing network or creates its own, ensuring robust sync even in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi. The module, which retains its 2HP size, now features MIDI integration through TRS jacks. Users can access a web interface to configure each output for different clock divisions and reset triggers, making setup straightforward and flexible.

Alongside the ML2M, there's also the Missing Link Junior. This desktop version offers the same functionality but in a box format, complete with MIDI and CV clock outputs. Both products are now accessible, with a starting price of $250.

3. Bristronica 24: Archaea Exchange Patching Module

At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Arran from ‪@archaea_modular_synthesis‬ who presented the *Exchange Module*. This programmable patcher, a year in the making, evolved from its early prototype stage to a fully functional module. Arran explained how the Exchange can route synth voices via a beam controller and three exchange modules installed within the skiff, allowing for versatile patching. Operating like a matrix patchbay, it enables users to select inputs and outputs with the push of a button, create presets, and chain multiple modules for synchronized patching.

Communication between the modules occurs over the Eurorack power bus as well as over MIDI via the USB-C connection. The Exchange maintains analog integrity, ensuring there’s no conversion latency. The forthcoming release expected in late November 2024, includes a USB-driven editor for enhanced control capabilities.

DISCLAIMER:
Please note that each Metal Fetishist may have minor variations in the electronic and mechanical components that interface with the sound engine. Therefore, each unit can interpret these “presets” with subtle differences between them.

In addition, sequences cannot be saved as presets because the random skip and step-modulation generators are designed to produce completely unique results each time.

We’d like to encourage you to not only play with the STEPS control, but to also adjust the instrument controls; use these presets as starting points in your sonic exploration.

"KEYBOARDISTS & MUSICIANS FROM THE ELECTRONIC/PROGRESSIVE ROCK FIELD OF BRAZIL

ELECTRONIC KEYBOARDS FROM BRAZIL
(Video Show - Collective Clip by Amyr Cantusio Jr)
Here are several keyboardists, electronic engineers, amateur musicians and some professionals who move the national scene, in a universe almost unknown to the people themselves.
These are videos that I collected, all of whom I know personally, to give lovers of the genre a perspective of what is produced behind the scenes in the underworld of electronic, electro-acoustic and progressive music in Brazil.
There are no critics in the area, almost no magazines or articles that cover or publicize these works. So here is a General Synopsis for you:

1-Arthur Joly (S.P. Engineer and producer, creator of the Big Modular Synthesizer Reco-Synth.
2-PAULO BETO (S.P.) - Anvil X and Solo.Paulo He worked on a lot of things, including Joly. I don't know why his work is so little publicized.
3-JOSE D'ELBOUX (S.P.)-Recorded 2 CDs with his project Tau Ceti. It is one of the few groups in Brazil where the Power Trio format with only keyboards/drums and bass is used, besides myself.
4-RONALDO RODRIGUES (Campinas S.P./R.J.) Caravela Escarlate. Also only known in the specific field.
5-VINICIUS BRAZIL (R.J.) engineer who created the Lizard Synths line. He also recorded a CD with the band Aether.
6-PATRICK WICHROVSKY- (R.J.) Has an independent triple CD "Eram os Deuses Astronautas" and played in some progressive bands. 7-VENTO AZUL DO SOM-(SE) Marcio and Marcelo Prata. They are heroic creators of "synth scraps", with almost no resources, and they even recorded LPs and some independent tapes on their own. They are very experimental in electro-acoustics.
8-GUSTAVO JOBIM (R.J.) has many CDs and work recorded independently, and very restricted to the underground circuit.
9-ELOY FRITSCH (R.S.) one of the most famous, with several solo CDs, and his band Apocalypse (which despite being known abroad, in Brazil is almost completely unknown) covers and professional work. Eloy is a professor at UFRGS.
10-EDGAR FRANCO (GO) Lyricist, illustrator and PhD in Visual Arts, has several multimedia works on CDs, magazines, etc... Also like Eloy, a professor at UFRGN. 11-FABIO RIBEIRO (S.P.) Also famous for having played in the underground band III Milenio (LP), Blezqi Zatsaz (solo LP) and Angra (CD).
12-ALPHA III (Amyr Cantusio Jr) (Campinas S.P.) - my Project, perhaps the most famous for the body of work (LPS and CDS) that luckily reached more than 20 countries, in the Underground as well, with a relevance relative to the medium only."
