Roland System 100 - Synthesizer 101

via this auction
"The Synthesizer 101 section is a fully self-contained analog mono-synth. It features a 37-note keyboard (with no performance controls, velocity or aftertouch), and lots of sliders to tweak. Its design is similar to the SH-series analog synths. Controls for the VCO, LFO, VCF lowpass/highpass filters, VCA with ADSR, Noise, and Portamento/Glide effects are all within hands reach.

Each component of the System 100 was relatively self-sufficient with its own power supply and housing. Roland's idea was that someone would start out with the Synthesizer 101 and add on to it piece by piece."

Eigenharp Alpha meets Kyma

Eigenharp Alpha meets Kyma from bar|none on Vimeo.

"Ever since I saw the Alpha I wanted these two to meet but technical limitations in both eigenD and Kyma made it not ideal and there was more latency than I wanted. The latest version of eigenD and the latest Kyma support virtualized midi drivers and Kyma now sends Midi over OSC via an ethernet connection.

This is a test of how responsive it is. I would say it's a resounding success! This is going to be too much fun.

And it's extremely easy to setup as well. Turn them both on and go.

This was recorded with the built in camera mic. The actual sound coming from Kyma is so realistic."

Roland SP-808ex Synthesizer Engine Overview & Demo

YouTube via stealthgear
"This is an overview of the SP-808ex synth fx engine where I play a few patches and talk about the synthesizer editing capabilities. I think the synth engine itself sounds very good and can add a special touch to your mix even when its only monosynth. When you are using the synth engine, make sure you have your midi controller set to ch. 11 and that effects are turned on. If the patch uses the d-beam, then turn on the appropriate button near the d-beam. Press FX INFO or Shift-FX Info to get into the editing features, and use the appropriate knobs for live tweaking.

The SP-808ex has something for everybody. Check out my tutorial on using its vocoder."
