Analog Presets on a Cathedral Pipe Organ - Vox Humana

Brian Comnes sent in these images of a cathedral pipe organ's presets (more pics below). I noticed on the far right what looks like "Voix Humana". Those of you familiar with classic preset patches should recognize "Vox Humana" as one of the classic patches on the preset version of the Moog Polymoog. The patch was famously used by Gary Numan. The "Voix Humana" got me wondering if the Polymoog patch may have been based on a common organ patch. I did some searching on YouTube and found the video below. What do you all think?

XILS-lab PolyM Polymoog Soft Synth Released

"XILS-lab literally creates plug-in pleasure principal when recreating revolutionary polysynth

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: audio software company XILS-lab is proud to announce availability of PolyM — an authentic recreation of the pioneering Polymoog polysynth, dreamed up by American designer Dave Luce and produced by Moog Music between 1975-1980, but benefitting from finest French software skills to truly create a plug-in pleasure principal as arguably the best ‘virtual’ divide-down oscillator technology-toting soft synth available anywhere and teaching the old dog some new tricks in the process — as of July 3...

That’s today. Putting PolyM in its present-day context involves initially looking back. But back in the early-Seventies, setting out to create an analogue, functional voltage-controlled synthesizer that was polyphonic against a backdrop of monophonic mainstays proved problematic for many. Moog’s musical solution came quicker than most, making an appearance in 1975 in its extremely expensive ($5,295 USD), nine-preset original form as the Polymoog keyboard (model 203a). It included a front panel packed with an almost continuous row of slider pots (permitting presets to be fully modified into more individualised analogue sounds via various subtractive synthesis parameters, including a 24dB Moog ladder filter section — allowing modulation modulated from its own envelopes and low frequency oscillation — alongside a unique and flexible three-band resonant filter section with lowpass/bandpass/high-pass filter modes) before being joined in 1978 by a marginally more economically-viable ($3,995 USD), 14-preset stripped back version (with editing reduced to volume, tuning, high-pass filtering, and basic LFO — Low Frequency Oscillator — features), which was also (confusingly) called the Polymoog keyboard (model 280a), though the original fully-variable version was then rebadged, admittedly, as the Polymoog Synthesizer.

Make That Gary Numan Synth Sound

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The easiest way to get the classic Gary Numan CARS Vox Humana sound is to download Alex Ball's sample pack. Sampled from a vintage PolyMoog, and all proceeds go to the Bob Moog Foundation. A worthy cause, so download it even if you won't use it!
https://bobmoogfoundation.myshopify.com

Here's Alex's demo... very nice as per usual: [posted here]

But if you want to have ago yourself, this is the second easiest way.. just follow these 10 easy steps. It's a simple enough tone to recreate, but to get it as close as possible you'll need 3 LFOs. If your synth only has 1 LFO you can get close enough for a bit of Numanesque electro synth hero action."

Assault On Precinct 13 Version 2.wmv
"Slightly remixed version of AOP13, the Vox Humana chords are (I think) now more faithful to the original and I've upped the Moog basses and panned them to give (hopefully) a beefier sound..

This is for Dad....RIP..28/08/35-12/08/10. I remember us so well watching this landmark film together and being blown away by both film and the music.....

Also thanks to Joeri Peters for his superb work in sampling the Polymoog's most famous preset, Vox Humana, and so generously donating it on his website...

Equipment used, Minimoog Model D, Nord Lead 3, Cubase 5, Recycle."

AJH Synth Patch of The Week Videos

video uploads by AJH Synth Official

Videos by supoorting member, DreamsOfWires.

Playlist: 1. Patch of The Week: The Sonic XV's Wave Folder - So many tones from just 1 VCO's Triangle wave

'Sonic Arps': The Sonic XV Transistor Diode Ladder Filter has a built-in Wave Folder, and in this video I'm using an arpeggiator in random mode to show the many subtle flavours of sound it can achieve from just a simple triangle wave from a single VCO. I will also pull a huge variety of timbres from a sine wave in a similar fashion.
The filter is a re-creation and expansion of the VCF from the Musonics Sonic V (5) synth of the 1970's (predecessor of the Moog Sonic Six), and shares a similar character to that of the EMS Synthi and VCS3, also being early diode filters. Bearing that in mind you might expect it to produce aggressive tones and chaotic feedback, which it can do well enough, but you might not have expected that it can also be very subtle, organic and warm in character, particularly well-suited to melodic arps/patterns and percussive sounds. With the added wave shaping functionality that wasn't present on the original, along with 24dB and 6dB low pass modes, and band pass filtering, this module packs a lot of tone shaping into 14hp.

A PDF file of the patch can be downloaded here: https://kvisit.com/8AE/xfUG

Patch notes:
Green dots show approximate pot and switch positions. Where a pot has two dots, this illustrates the range I move them during the video. Pots and switches that do not have green dots are not used in this patch, and should be left at their zero or off positions.
I'm using the VCA as a mixer so that I can use the outputs from both the BP and 6dB outputs of the Sonic XV. Notice in the video they are set at different volumes at different points depending on the sound - you will need to adjust this too, as different combinations of IN LEVEL, IN MIX, IN WAVE, and filter settings can make a significant difference to volume levels.
Modules used from left to right: Vintage Transistor Core VCO, Sonic XV, Contour Generators, Discrete Cascaded VCA.

2. Patch of the Week: 'Schulze School' - Melodic Eurorack performance + 'how-to' guide & patch sheet

This week's patch makes use of the V-Shape wave shaper/wave folder to sculpt the great analogue tone of the MiniMod VCO to create some delicate timbres that reminds us of Klaus Schulze's mesmerising sounds created on his sequencer-driven Moog modular synth systems in the 1970's. It also makes particular use of the Ring SM as a sub oscillator generator, and the rich tones of the Sonic XV diode filter.

Check out the AJH Synth playlists for more 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides detailing a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, and each containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself.

3. Patch of the Week: 'Singing Gemini' - Dual Analogue VCF as a Dual Sine Wave VCO How to & patch sheet

This patch uses each of the 2 analogue filters of the Gemini as a dual VCO, self-oscillating, so that they produce sine waves and can be sequenced melodically using the Korg SQ-1 or any analogue step sequencer. This guide shows you how to make this patch, along with a patch sheet at the end. It is one of the many ways you can use just a couple of Eurorack modules to make music, as modular synthesis can be rewarding even with a minimal gear list.

Korg EMX-1: "Everybody Dance" by Danielle

YouTube Uploaded by TheSynthFreq on Mar 29, 2012

"HI :) 80s funk, old school style track created using the Korg EMX-1. The synth parts were created by using a 6-Osc saw waveform and modulating it slightly with an LFO (Tri) routed to the filter and the patch is gated.
I had to add the cheesy Orch. Hit too, just couldn't help it. hehe
Please enjoy! :)

Korg EMX-1: "In Real Time" by Danielle

Uploaded by TheSynthFreq on Mar 29, 2012

"HI :) New Korg EMX-1 sounds and 80s track. All the synth parts were created using the Korg's waveforms, all parts were created using the "6 Osc" setting. The bass line is also 6-Osc but the amp contour shortened and also gated. Partial mute is also used to remove and add in the synth line in real time.
I also use the arp controller on the left side of the EMX to act as a repeating "trig" in the drum sounds to change add variation. The second synth part I programmed to sound like the famous Gary Numan's "Vox humana" patch. Although the EMX is mono on every synth part, using a midi controller synth allows it to be polyphonic but only externally.

Please Enjoy! :)

Boss/Roland PH-2 Super Phaser Pedal Demo w/ Synthesizers #8

Published on May 22, 2017 gstormelectro

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c.2017

In this video I am running various synthesizers through a Boss/Roland PH-2 Super Phaser Pedal. The PH-2 is an analog pedal made from the mid 80's to 2001. Since the PH-2 is monophonic I will be auditioning it in both mono, and with stereo widening provided by an Eventide Timefactor. Sounds range from Jean Michel Jarre to Polymoog Vox Humana as heard on Gary Numan 'Cars'.

MOOG Polymoog Keyboard - Images and Samples

Suit & Tie Guy has a Polymoog for sale. You can find a link to images and a sample in the following:

"i've got here a damn fine specimen of Gary Numan's second-favourite keyboard. i made a post about it a month ago but with no real documentation and no firm price. so here goes ...

this Polymoog Keyboard is fully operational and good cosmetic shape. it has all four legs and two braces, the Polypedals, and an original service manual.

here are the photos. (the Rheem, Minimoog, and Taurus 1 are not included. obviously) [be sure to check these out full size - these are nice shots - inside shots as well - mirrored here].


Here is a 320 kbps VBR MP3 for demonstration and analysis [player above]. 55 minutes of me fiddling with every preset and available parameters on the front panel and the polypedal. you can hear me completely insult everything from Bach to Emerson, and including The Addams Family and jazz itself. i hope you're amused.

the nice thing about the 55 minute demo is that the first quarter or so of it is 8-10 seconds of every key of the Vox Humana preset ... so not only do i demonstrate that every key works, but if you just want this thing for that preset you can say "eff off STG" and just load it into your sampler. or giga sampler. or whatever.

so now it's time for price and location. location is easy, i'm in central Illinois, USA. i'm half-way between St Louis and Chicago, and will deliver this thing within a reasonable radius ... Indianapolis IN, Iowa City IA, Rolla MO, the House on the Rock WI, etc. i would prefer if you pick it up, but if you have the enormous cash outlay for shipping i can deal with that. we're talking 3 digits here, guys.

i really just want a Jupiter-6. i'm not interested in cash. however i seem to have to put a dollar amount on this. according to Mini Me, a Jupiter-6 is worth 3000 USD. according to ebay, a Polymoog Synthesizer with Polypedals, rust, and no legs is worth 1800 USD. so i guess that means the price of this thing is 1800 USD, a Jupiter-6, or something in between. delivery within a 4 hour radius is included for these prices.

Moog Modular V2.5 Filter examples

via UniQue Werkx in the comments of this post.

Update via UniQue Werkx in the comments: "the first sound is based on Radiostern by Kraftwerk, the second is RUSH's famous Tom Sawyer OB-X filter FX. The third is similar to Van Halen's "1984" type filter sweeps. Fourth is similar to Gary Numan's Car's Poly Moog lead (Vox Humana). The fifth is a based on the classic Moog bass sound in a random sequence. The sixth is a high res sequence and the seventh is a high reso bass sequence with lots of filter modulation."

Update via UniQue Werkx in the comments: "I just did another example of RUSH's Tom Sawyer sweep on the Moog Modular V2.5. Of course, it's originally done on an Oberheim OB-X. I actually think this is better and closer to the sound then the OP-X does! The OP-X is a VST plug-in that's modeled after the Oberheim OB-X. However, I think the new Moog Modular filters are actually able to get a closer to the Oberheim OB-X filter! Just listen....

Alesis Fusion 6HD digital audio workstation

via this auction

"This is a very underrated keyboard. The Fusion 6HD was released in 2007 and kinda flopped. It originally cost close to £1,200. It seemed to be that folks did not like the layout and look of the machine and the presets took a bit of a beating from the critics ( I do not know why, some of them are totally amazing) it was right up against the Yamaha Motif and Roland Fantom (although the Alesis was a good bit cheaper). Alesis then discontinued it and sold off the existing stock for just under £700 which is what we paid for ours.

Now, people are realising just how good this workstation is and they are sought after once more. Of course, you cannot buy them anymore :-( The overwhelming reason why it is so popular is the fact it has a hard drive built in and 8 channels to record audio straight on to that hard drive. So you can record and load all sorts of audio and samples straight from the internal hard drive. This is a truly fantastic feature. But then if you run out of space on your hard drive, you can connect an external one to the SATA connector and have more space available.

It also has a direct USB connection for your PC so you can arrange banks and sounds via the superb editor that I will supply on CD. There is also a set of L & R Aux outs, a handy left and right input with gain control (ideal to connect your ipod / laptop / microphone etc), a headphone socket, midi in out and thru and three foot pedal inputs for expression, sustain and switch and a compact flash card socket for saving and loading patches, songs, etc.

Then, Hollow Sun created a huge library of extra sounds and they are truly stunning. Then a very wonderful guy sampled the 'Vox Humana' preset from his Polymoog keyboard (Gary Numan - Cars and loads of other songs on The Pleasure Principle and Telekon) and all of a sudden the true power of the Fusion was realised."
