"4/1/2015: Evaton Technologies introduces a new modular synthesizer format! The new 15U format features ergonomically-sized knobs, which facilitate longer tweaking sessions without fatigue. Musicians who previously migrated from Eurorack to MU format will appreciate this new, even larger format!
The new format allows for larger, easier-to-read legend text. 3.5mm jacks are replaced with common Type N RF connectors for sparkling audio clarity -- typical frequency response is DC to several GHz.
Module power is 120/240VAC 50/60Hz. AC power means there is no 'incorrect' way to plug the module into the power backplane -- in fact, the ribbon cable power connector has been replaced with a standard IEC320 C14 AC inlet; the same type as on most modern computer power supplies. Gone are the days of lining up red stripes!"
"Loopmasters welcome back extreme samplist MIDI Error with a brand new Royalty Free sample collection of twisted and abused electronic talking toys.
Mr Error is back to his old tricks tormenting innocent inanimate objects, this time armed with a PZ2 insulated screwdriver and a wet finger he has managed to coax strange garbled electronic noises and words from a collection of dusty electronic toys and games for your listening pleasure.
Every sound in this collection has come from genuinely abused toys mic-ed and hardwired to a chain of devastating audio effects including Bitcrushers, Watkins Tape Delay, Mooger Fooger Pedals and then plumbed into a vintage Reel to Reel tape machine for some warm Analog saturation.
During the last moments of their inevitable death and whilst under heavy interrogation these battery operated kid’s companions spat out their entire vocal range and then some, luckily our sample hero was there to capture it all to tape.
Producers should expect to find a huge range of sounds and tones that include Crunchy Drums, Nasty Glitch Loops, Noisy Melodies and Circuit Bent Hits and Stabs alongside a wicked collection of Synthesised speech including words and phrases from toys as well as some tasty vocoded phrases..."
"Hi!! :)
I'd like to introduce to you, my Yamaha DX-7iiFD! This fantastic synthesizer is full of awesome classic 80s sounds. This video is a short improvisation using patches: Tines and Clav bass. I have these two patches split so that patch A (clav bass) is not sustained by the hold pedal while patch B ( tines) is able to be sustained with the hold pedal. The split sustain feature in the DX-7iiFD is just fantastic to work with and really makes the DX-7iiFD function as two synthesizers all on one set of great action synth keys.
I have not owned this synth long and I already love it. It fits into every song very well and the data cartridge also functions great."
Yamaha DX-7iiFD Classic Tines improvisation
Published on Apr 1, 2015
"Hello out there in synthland! This video features that classic all familiar DX-7 Full Tines. In this song, I am improvising and writing what comes to mind from just the way the sound effects me as I play it. This sound has a calming effect and shimmers gracefully when played carefully. Tines are programmed here (preset 5), to have a nice KF setting so that the higher frequencies ring brightly at the higher register and sound softer and more mellow in the lower register of the keyboard. I am of course thrilled with this preset and find it very useful for those classic ballad, slow 80s songs where a delicate full tines sound is needed."
