Floyd went to Superbooth 23 and all he got was this jute bag +info on Aodyo Anyma Omega, Motor Synth MkII

video upload by

"Here's what I saw / wanted to see at #Superbooth 23, plus some impressions of the event itself. I talked with @AodyoInstruments about their line of hardware modeling synths, Anyma PHI, Sylphyo and #Anyma OMEGA (thanks again for taking so much time to walk through the features!). Also a presentation of the @GamechangerAudio #Motorsynth MKII, which I already filmed last year but never got around to turn into a video.
Please forgive me if I mispronounced names / got them wrong entirely. I lost some of the business cards on the way back. My bad.

Also (not in the video), https://www.manikin-electronic.com/ - they gave me an extensive demo of their Memotron Keyboard, which as a Mellotron clone with a great keyboard. It was super fun to play, but they talked so fast and enthusiastically that I had no time to restart and set up audio recorder and camera. ;-)

The Cars - "Drive" cover, but it's all #Motorsynth

video upload by

"Here's a cover of the classic 80s synthpop hit, 'Drive' by 'The Cars'.
All sounds are from the #MotorSynth but the drums, those are from the Yamaha #QY70.
If you didn't know, Motor Synth is an electromechanical #synthesizer which creates sounds by spinning 8 discs super fast. You can either use all 8 voices paraphonic or two of them each polyphonic. There's a selection of analog filters & envelopes which I put to good use here.
Due to it's inertia, this synth always is playing glissando ;-)
Given the tech at hand, I didn't even try to match the sound to the original, but more tried to capture it's athmosphere. Sorry for the mediocre karaoke vocal track, but I think it's good enough.
This was super fun and if this gets some views maybe I'll do more (you can suggest songs if you like)
Let's see if this gets a copyright claim.

SynthPlex 2022 - Gamechanger Audio Motorsynth MKII Is Shipping

video upload by sonicstate

"The Motor Synth from Gamechanger Audio has always been a crowd pleaser, since we first saw it at 2017 Winter NAMM. Its a really unusual electro-mechanical way to generate audio - using stepper motors and optical readouts to make oscillators. Its got a unique sound and looks great.

The MKII which we saw in prototype at Superbooth earlier this year, is now ready and shipping, we got a demo of a recent patch from Tom at the booth.

Price €2726"

Superbooth 22: Gamechanger Audio - Motorsynth MK2

video upload by sonicstate

"When the Motorsynth was first unveiled at Superbooth 19, it certainly was a game changer, with its spinning motor oscillators.

Three years have passed, and Ilja from Gamechanger has listened to feedback from the initial run of 450 Motorsynths, and returns with the MK2, improving upon the original designs.

The Motorsynth MK2 offers two separate motor voices with 4 electromotor oscillators each - both voices can operate in mono, unison or in four-note polyphonic mode. Both motor voices are equipped with a separate set of controls for adjusting volume, scale, waveshape, individual amp envelope engines for each musical note, as well as separate analogue multimode filters.

The first units will arrive summer 22

Price: TBC - around 3,000 euros"

Synthesizer impovisation on MPC One, Yamaha EX5, Novation Peak, Motorsynth, Guitar, Piano

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"Are you feeling a bit more happy and cheerful today than you'd like to be? We have a fix for that. ;-) This is fully improvised. #MPCOne is playing the 808 drums, #YamahaEX5 the "Big Bad Pad" from my patch set, Peak is doing the arpeggiated notes and #MotorSynth is used for a short solo in the middle part. Guitar is in Humbucker mode, using a compressor, Iridium, Zoom Noisegate, Zoom Chorus, Volante, Nightsky signal chain. Piano was recorded as-is."

DIY WebMIDI sequencer demo: improvising on Motor Synth, Reface DX and Orba

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"Here's a demo of the progress I made on my own #WebMIDI/Javascript sequencer. In this demo:
- LEDs used for showing status (selected track, active step)
- track muting
- swing!
- copying patterns while playing
- transposing tracks while playing.
- switching and queueing tracks while playing

This sequencer will work in Edge and Chrome(ium). You can try it at https://sequencer.floydsteinberg.com
Feel free to take a look at the source code. I'll also upload a video explaining how it works later.

Synths used:
#MotorSynth for the arpeggiated chords
#RefaceDX for pads and EP
Orba for drums and bass

Effects:
Strymon NightSky

Perhaps not the hottest improv under the sun, but I think there are some nice moments in there."

On that audio input on the Motor Synth ...

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"The yet-to-be-released Motor Synth by Gamechanger Audio has an audio input which can be fed into the synth engine. In this video, I'm routing my Reface DX (and my guitar) through this, applying a variety of analog filter types, envelopes and LFOs to the external sound. Table of contents:

00:00 introduction
00:45 Reface DX sound (unprocessed)
01:26 12db low pass filter
01:40 24db low pass filter
01:55 12db band pass filter
02:09 12db high pass filter
02:25 filter envelope (triggered by MIDI IN)
03:04 filter lfo & resonance
04:02 filter drive
04:30 ... with external effects
05:13 filtered arpeggiator (using Reface DX' MIDI looper)
06:21 filtered and distorted guitar (using filter drive)
06:41 multitracked jam with R-DX, Motorsynth and Nord Drum 1"

Track: Shelter (feat. Xavier Radix) - Synthwave on Akai MPC, Motor Synth, Peak, EX5

video by

"Here's a #synthwave​ track done on the Akai MPC One, #motorsynth​ and Novation PEAK. Sidechaining! Gated drums! Tons of synths! Wicked 80s hair metal guitar solo and phatt riffs! Wub wub bass! Jan Hammer-inspired synth sequences! It's all in here. :-)

Guitar by Xavier Radix (see link below). Recorded, mixed and mastered on Zoom R24 #dawless​. This is the MPC One in song mode controlling the EX5, PEAK and Motor Synth via MIDI. The song is made up from 14 patterns on the MPC one, which I merged into one long pattern and added the guitar and the vocal track to. Basically, all you need to do then is to press play in song mode and capture the audio output on a recording device (if you're using only MPC, you can also render the output to a WAV file internally). For the sake of this video, I adjusted filter settings and played some notes "live". :-)

MPC One is doing all the heavy lifting here, Motor Synth is doing the "filtered choir" sound in the second verse. EX5 is doing the "rain pad" in the 2nd verse. PEAK is doing the arpeggiated sequencer line. I don't know which effects Xavier had on his guitar, but it sounds pretty awesome.

Motor Synth - dark, ambient woodworking in the night

Floyd Steinberg

"Here's your reminder that the #MotorSynth deserves more attention and fanfare and is very capable of creating great-sounding melodic #electromechanical #ambient music. Motor Synth is an electromechanical synthesizer which generates sound by spinning drone motors. All the sounds in this track were created on this machine and recorded to 4 tracks one after the other (pad, bass, arpeggiator, lead). I used the 'arpeggiator per oscillator' feature on this track for the bass patch and the filtered saw wave thing.
Effects pedals were set up like this: Motor Synth - Strymon Iridium - ZOOM MS100BT - Source Audio Nemesis - Strymon BigSky
Hope you like it, and apologies to @Gamechanger Audio for the practical cinematographic jokes therein. Hope you take it lightly. :-) :-) :-) (In fact, those guys and girls are very cool and sent me hardware revision containing dampers yesterday, so you will see the new and much less noisy version of this machine again in the future)."

How to create your own ambient reverb

Gamechanger Audio Motor Synth at Summer NAMM 2020

Motorized Synthesizer at Summer NAMM Published on Aug 15, 2019

"Eric Black stops by the Game Changer Audio booth to check out Motorsynth. This motor driven synthesizer is truly one of a kind!"

Summer NAMM is kind of a low-key version of Winter NAMM. It's always interesting to see who from the synth community shows up. In this case, it sounds like Game Changer attended to showcase their guitar pedals, but brought along the Moter Synth, of course.

Funny side note. I created year labels for NAMM considering how much usually goes up. Because Summer NAMM starts before Winter NAMM, this is the first NAMM2020 post.
