♫ JOURNEY OF THE PRAIRIE KING ♫ on Gotharman's zaTurn Modular Synth [Stardew Valley VGM Cover] #TTNM

video upload by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"This is a video game music cover of Stardew Valley's "Journey of the Prairie King" overworld theme, created entirely on Gotharman's zaTurn modular synthesizer. I must admit I haven't played the mini game at all, but I stumbled upon this tune and it's so damn catchy! :D :D :D

To get it into the zaTurn, I looked up Stoh Shiba's piano sheet music of the piece as a starting point and programmed that into the sequencer, taking a few creative liberties. Because the zaTurn only supports up to 64 steps per track, I had to split the song up into 14 presets. Luckily, copy and paste works so well on the Gotharman instruments and there are multiple ways to enter notes into the devices. After I completed writing the sequencer presets, using only a simple zaTurn voice patch, I started the actual sound design process and the arrangement of the various pieces in the Gotharman song mode.

I only used samples for the quirky vocals at the end of the song. The rest is all patched internally on the zaTurn. The one-take recording received subtle EQ and compression in Cubasis afterwards and that was it.

Oberheim OB-SX - 56 brand new presets - available as sys ex and EPROM image file

video upload by The Synth King

"New sounds for a preset synth ??

Breathe new life into your trusty Oberheim OB-SX !! You´ll get 56 brand new synth preset sounds as midi sysex file (for MLAB magic box user) and as EPROM image file replacing the old factory presets.

Honestly, this synth can do more than flutes, trumpets and clarinets. In my opinion it shines with juicy pads, cutting leads, fat unison basses and brassy synth sounds and that is exactly what you´ll get with this sound set.

Best wishes for 2023 !

Roland Jupiter-8 61-Key Synthesizer Early Edition with MIDI SN 060306

via this auction

"It is an early one (one of the first five hundred if the serial number finder is accurate). It has had Encore midi installed before I purchased it so it has a whole lot of extra banks for patch storage. I would say mechanically it is Excellent and cosmetically it is Good. If inflation wasn't killing me and my son didn't need braces I would keep this synth forever. I just had it serviced and the internals are in great shape. Had the faders looked at, the keys replaced that needed it, the felts changed if necessary. Cosmetically it may not be the most perfect example but it is certainly not bad for its age. The only part of the body that is not in good shape is where the last owner changed the power cord; he kind of messed that one hinge up when he put the cord receiver in. My tech said it is fine but he couldn't really put a new hinge there. I truly did not notice it until my tech opened the synth up and pointed it out to me. This synth sounds amazing. It truly is the King of Synths. Everything functions as it should..."

Yamaha CS60

via this auction

"The CS60 is an 8-voice analog polysynth, and is a scaled-down version of the mighty CS80. Each voice is a single VCO with a sub-oscillator, and a resonant LP/HP filter with its own ADSR envelope. There are 12 presets, and one user program. A ribbon controller for pitch mods, assignable aftertouch from the keys, and a ring modulator are great features of this 61-note synth.

This particular CS60 is being sold on behalf of John 'King Gizmo' King of the Dust Brothers, and is in very nice condition and fully functional. The Syntaur team did some minor repairs, and rebuilt the ribbon controller. The lid, the legs, and the legs carrying case are all included. Because of the size, weight, and value of this instrument, it is being offered for local pickup only. (Or we can possibly arrange for in-person delivery.)"

CHRONOS - "Cinematic Synthesizer"ᴴᴰ

video upload by Altar Records

"All Links ► https://bnd.lc/cinematicsynthesizer

Chronos, one of the pillar artists of Altar Records is back with a new brand album recorded live on vintage synthesizers.

Synthesizers have been a big part of film music for the past 50 years.
Think Vangelis and "Blade Runner", John Carpenter and "Halloween", Daft Punk and "Tron" movies...

Nick Klimenko aka Chronos is back with a second live-played album exploring all the depths of hardware analog and digital synthesizers.

Eight hardware synthesizers from four different decades were chosen for creating an unique cinematic music atmosphere.

The synth patches were made especially for this album.
Iconic and new ones, rich analog & complex digital sounds are taken from:

Alesis Ion
Yamaha SY-77
Arturia PolyBrute
Roland D50
Kawai K5000
Korg King Korg
Arturia MatrixBrute
Korg DSS-1

Everything was played and recorded live in one take!
Nick has spent hours in his studio, practicing live playing,
sequencing patterns and harmonies, making atmospheric pads for every single piece in this release.
Then he hit the “record” button and played every song at one time.

Dedicated to Klaus Schulze (1947-2022)"

Behringer UB-Xa - Polyphonic Aftertouch Sound Demo

video upload by The Synth King

"This little piece of music showcases the superb keybed of the UB-Xa. It provides velocity sensivity and polyphonic aftertouch enabling you to play your music with extraordinary expressivity. In this split performance filter frequency, volume, LFO speed and intensity of the upper preset (in unison mode employing only one voice) is controlled by poly aftertouch. Moreover volume, VCF and VCA attack is also controlled by velocity.

The lower pad sound uses OB-8 “second page” functions such as LFO rate delay here controlling panorama position. Furthermore LFO rate is influenced by poly aftertouch as well.

This music genre beggs for delay and reverb. I´ve used two Lexicon PCM 70 connected to my main mixing desk as send effects . Everything is played life and recorded in one take without any edits or further audio processing. Enjoy the music!

Behringer UB-Xa - Synth King Presets

video upload by The Synth King

"I had the honor to be part of the beta tester team for the Behringer UB-Xa. We worked very hard during the last few years to get everything spot on. All members of the team had a vintage OB-Xa and OB-8 for in depth comparison and measurement. This video showcases a few of the custom presets I´ve created for the UB-Xa. The sounds were recorded without any effects, dynamic processing or whatsoever straight into the audio interface. For the performances in split mode I´ve added a slight touch of reverb. The synthesizer in the video is an early preproduction unit with the firmware in development."

Drums & persussion were also designed with the Chroma, then sampled, processed and imported into Steinberg Grovve Agent. Mastering has been done with Waves L2, thats it. Enjoy the music !!"

"8 note polyphonic synthesizer. One of only 2000 manufactured in the early 1980's, if you are interested in this one you will most probably know much more about them than me however you can read all about them if you click . The link will take you to a 27 year old article in Sound on Sound which refers to the value of a used Chroma at £1,500, those were the days, to put things into perspective a German owner recently advertised a faulty one on eBay at £15,000 so our valuation of £7,000 for a fully working model seems exceptionally fair. No offers please.

The Rhodes Chroma was never fitted with Midi during manufacture but it was possible to fit a Midi modification. When this one came in it had a fault which was caused by the Midi mod which no longer worked, during the service of the Chroma Adrian removed the faulty Midi kit and made other repairs so it is now 100% however the non-functioning midi sockets are still fitted to the unit."

Korg Poly-61 - no talking - part 2/2

video upload by The Synth King

Part 1 here

"The Korg Poly-61 was released in 1982 as the successor to the Polysix. It was somewhat of a step up from the Polysix, as it has 2 DCOs for better reliability. It also retained the arpeggiator of the Polysix. The Poly-61 can provide cool gritty basses or trippy analog sounds and fx. However, its filter only has 7 steps of resonance and is not as fat as the Polysix's filter. It also uses the same method of programming the Poly-800 and Yamaha DX-7 use, so it's not a very useful synth for real-time-tweaking junkies. The first Poly-61s didn't have MIDI, but the Poly-61M released in 1984 corrects this. Overall, the Poly-61 is still a decent synth, and it can be acquired for practically nothing!"

Behringer JT-4000 Micro - How Does It Sound?

video upload by Behringer

"JT-4000 is an extremely powerful and portable 4-Voice Hybrid Paraphonic Synthesizer with 2 Analog Modelling Oscillators per Voice, Analog Filter, Arpeggiator, and OLED.

The JT-4000 is modeled after the JP-8000, which defined the Trance genre of electronic dance music that emerged from the British new-age music scene and the early 1990s German techno and hardcore scenes.

In this sound demo, 'The Synth King' truly shows off the true power of the JT-4000. You can check out more of the Synth King's awesome work here: https://bit.ly/3ipdvYx

Power the JT-4000 via your phone and connect it to your headphones or play it via USB/MIDI keyboard and a PA or recording system. Don’t let the small size fool you - it’s a full-blown synthesizer in a micro package.

Development is complete and once we receive chips it’ll go straight into production.

Estimated price US $49
