via this auction

An underrated synth although it does lack the Virtual Acoustic (VL) Synthesis of the EX5. It did have FDSP (Formulated Digital Sound Processing) Synthesis which I don't believe I have ever explored.

Details:

"The EX7 features a unique Extended Synthesis system which incorporates a number of the most advanced tone generator technologies currently available...plus a full-featured sampling system. It offers a Four-Element Voice structure which allows for up to four independent waves from any of the tone generators. The tone generators implemented here include AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) Synthesis, AN (Analog Physical Modeling) Synthesis and FDSP (Formulated Digital Sound Processing) Synthesis. According to Yamaha:

"AWM is Yamaha's original system for effectively using sampled waveforms in synthesizers and tone generators. The strength of AWM synthesis lies not only in its extraordinary ability to "shape" and control the sound of the samples with a comprehensive system of envelope generators, filters, key scaling parameters, modulation, and more. AWM voices can have from 1 to 4 AWM elements. Each AWM element can use a preset wave or a sampled waveform. The ability to combine AWM elements means that you can, for example, combine separate samples for the attack and sustain portions of an instrument's sound, with independent control over each.

Yamaha AN Synthesis (Analog Physical Modeling) offers all the benefits of traditional analog synthesis with the stability, reproducability, and precise control of digital technology. It is capable of accurately reproducing the sound of classic analog synthesizers without patch cables, setting charts, or the frustrating instability that was the bane of the analog age. A standard (Poly) AN voice can have 1 AN element and from 1 to 3 AWM elements. Classic analog synth type sounds can be created with the single AN element alone. AWM elements can be added as necessary to 'modernize' the sound.

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

So, does anyone know what the Roland SC-65 was? I did a quick search and only found this previous auction post. I'm guessing back then I assumed it was the model number for the Juno-106s or I was just in auto-post mode and didn't pay much attention. Looking at the pics on the back of the Juno-106S I'm not seeing SC-65 anywhere. If you know, let us know! Note this Juno-106S needs some work:

"Unit seems to have few unresponsive keys which are 1G, 1A, 1A#, 1B, 2C, 2C#, and 2D#, which should probably do with some minor servicing as there are some sliders with slight scratch noise when controlling too.

Otherwise everything else appears to be working fine..."

The Fossils of Intention | Eurorack Ambient

Published on Jan 30, 2016 r beny

"An ambient piece for my Eurorack modular system. All sounds/effects from the rack.

Patch Notes:

Piano Sound: Mutable Instruments Rings (in symphathetic string mode) being excited by Mutable Instruments Braids in "CLOU", running through a Make Noise MMG and a Laurentide Synthworks VG2. The VG is getting a quick exponential envelope from a Make Noise Maths. Rings going through a Mutable Instruments Clouds in granular mode with audio-rate random modulation from a Qu-Bit NanoRand. As the song progresses, I slowly make the envelopes on Maths longer and turn up the wet/dry mix on Clouds. Rings is also multed to an Alright Devices Chronoblob delay.

Lead: A second Mutable Instruments Rings (also in symphathetic string mode) being excited by the same Mutable Instruments Braids in "CLOU", except that the signal is multed straight from the MMG bypassing the LPG for a constant drone. This Rings is going into a Mannequins Three Sisters filter into the high input and output and then into a Make Noise ErbeVerb.

Bass: Make Noise STO running into a second Mutable Instruments Clouds in looping delay mode on the lowest quality setting and a Mutable Instruments Streams in compressor mode.

All sequencing provided by a Korg Electribe 2 via a Vermona QMi2 MIDI to CV module."

R.A.Moog 901a & 901b comparisons with hand-built units...

Published on Feb 1, 2016 noddyspuncture

"A second *comparison video* - this time including my 901a controller which wasn't ready when I made the first comparison video. This time though the sound isn't direct... but it's through quite a large sound system and should give you an idea..! These 901 units were built to the exact same spec as my original R.A.Moog 901a & 901b - the only difference are the two switches I incorporated into the 901b oscillator for a 4th down and a 5th up and also a switch to assign the oscillator to either my home built controller or one of my original Moog controllers. These custom modifications are only for making live playing easier...!"

"This unit has been well taken care of. The internal NiCad battery has been removed and a lithium battery with a socket has been fitted in its place. All PCB's look nice and clean condition. It's a good unit for a Kiwisix midi upgrade.

Cosmetically, it's in good condition given its age. There are some minor scratches here and there and some small chips to the side panels.

It's fully functional, and calibrated as per service manual.

I made a video, it's not terribly exciting but it's just to show all controls are functioning. Plenty of other videos on youtube showing what this synth is capable of."

Soulsby Synthesizers Releases the Odytron Special Edition

Soulsby Synths - Odytron Special Edition

Published on Feb 1, 2016 Soulsby Synthesizers

Also see the preview video here.

"London, UK - 01/02/16. Soulsby Synthesizers have released their much anticipated Odytron Special Edition today. The Odytron is a limited edition of their Atmegatron 8-bit MIDI synth module. It comes pre-loaded with the brand new Odytron software and factory presets, as well as having unique Odytron paintwork. Only 150 units have been manufactured.

The Odytron is £225 inc VAT (approx $339) and currently only available from their website. Shipping is available worldwide. Some retailers will be stocking it in the near future.

The Odytron software simulates the specification of a classic analogue synth but in an 8-bit environment. The result is a fascinating combination of analogue warmth and 8-bit grit. Features include: 2 independent oscillators (duophonic), 2 filter algorithms + bypass, 2 envelopes, LFO, ring mod, wave sync and numerous modulation methods.

Despite the sound being radically different to the original Atmegatron software, the Odytron is 100% Atmegatron compatible and comes bundled with 3 overlays and a programmer cable. This means that it is essentially 4 synths for the price of one. The overlays for the alternative synth engines are: Atmegatron (the classic software), Atmegadrum (drum machine) & Delayertron (delay effects synth).

Paul Soulsby, CEO of Soulsby Synthesizers: 'This software version has taken nearly a year to develop and has been a real labour of love. I was determined to see just how many classic analogue synth features could be crammed into the little Atmega micro-controller. I hope people enjoy this unique blend of synthesis.'

Existing Atmegatron owners can download the Odytron software from the website for free and can also purchase optional extras: vinyl overlay, programmer cable and instructions."

Emerson Lake & Palmer - 'Pirates' practice

Published on Feb 1, 2016 noddyspuncture

Replicating the GX1 with various synths.

"I ran through my 'Pirates' set-up for Kev yesterday. I've been working on the piece for a few weeks - going through it, learning it and also making patches and mapping them out on the synths. It's not an easy one... I want to make it similar to the band-only performances when ELP had to drop the orchestra. It really is my favourite version where the GX-1 shines and you can hear Emo really getting to grips with the sounds. He used sounds that were very similar but with subtle differences which makes the piece for me. It should be much more satisfying that sticking with "orchestral" sounds as most people seem to do...! Anyway, I don't know it all yet so I didn't want to play it for a video... but it looks like Kev had other ideas...;)"
