Red Hat - Yamaha Montage Trancy Live Jam

Published on Jul 21, 2016 Earmonkey Music

"Still learning this fantastic instrument. This jam was made with all live playing. There is no sequencing in this. It's all live playing of the Montage using the arpeggiators and different 'scenes' from the Montage. The performance in the Montage is based on a preset called 'Crumbler' and it's just a lot of fun. So much going on. This is a very powerful instrument to be able to do this all with live performance. You should get one."

Moog Minimoog Voyager Signature Edition SN 351 of 600

"On top of the beautiful physical condition, this synth is also extremely rare! That's because it is the Bob Moog Signature Edition Model- only 600 of these were produced. This serial number for mine is 351, as you can see in the last photo.

This synth is very portable but also extremely well built and sturdy. The back panel can lift up in adjustable positions, allowing you to access the the knobs/buttons while sitting, but you can also lie the panel flat if you are standing while playing or you are storing the synth. There are two Moog stickers that I have placed on the sides to give it a cool look. Please know that these are stickers and not painted on logos- so they are removable if you desire.

Sound wise, this synth has endless possibilities. It features 3 oscillators, which alone is a rare feature for an analog synth. This allows for extremely thick and versatile sounds. On top of the oscillators, it has tons of modulation capabilities, including a boatload of pedal/external options on the back panel. The filter sound is typical Moog first class. It also features a nifty touch pad in the center that acts as an additional mod wheel. The voyager is capable of anything from gnarly basses to super smooth leads."

Patch Notes #7 - Lorenz Attractors With Ornament & Crime

Published on Jul 21, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Patch Notes exploring chaotic voltages generated by Lorenz attractors using the Low Rents mode in Ornament & Crime, a multi-purpose, open source module for Eurorack modular synthesizer.

Ornament & Crime is sending the Lx1 XORed to Rx1 out from channel A to control the Timbre on Mutable Instruments Braids in WTx4 mode, while channel B is sending Lx1 to Braids 1v/Oct input. Braids is quantizing the incoming signal to a Minor Pentatonic scale.

Channel C (set to Ly1) is controlling the Fall time on Make Noise Maths channel 4. Braids is routed to the Mutable Ripples filter and out from the LP4/VCA output, which is being controlled by Maths.

Tempi is clocking René which is sequencing the bass part in the DPO. The final output is routed through MMG and then the Optomix, all from Make Noise. The X-Gate output from René is routed to trigger two envelopes on the Malekko ADLFO, one routed to control the bass channel on the Optomix, the second triggering the other set of 3 envelopes in the ADLFO.

One of the ADLFO envelopes is routed to the DPO Mod Bus Index, giving the bass a bit of grit and grime here and there. Another of the envelopes is routed to the MMG filter cutoff to shape the timbre of the bass.

Tempi is also clocking Brains and Pressure Points, 5 channels from which are routed to the Pitch, Decay, Morph, Fold and Spread inputs on the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas, which is generating all of the high frequency percussion. Tempi is also clocking the Wogglebug, which is routed to the BI Harm input.

Patterns are being generated by the Malekko Varigate 4, also clocked by Tempi. Channel A is triggering Maths, the envelope controlling Ripples on random steps, about 50% probability of a note each step. Channel B is controlling the BI, with a slightly lower chance per step than channel A. Channel C is the kick drum pattern, which is coming from the Malekko Dual Borg (as seen in a previous tutorial video). Channel D routed to another envelope on the ADLFO, and then to the Strike input on the Optomix, controlling random plucks of the bass, with different note probability per step, and about 50% chance of repeat per step.

Roland JX-8P Demo #3 - Skywriter

Published on Jul 21, 2016 gstormelectro

"Audio and video by G-Storm Electro c.2016

This is the Roland JX-8P, possibly one of the most under-rated synthesizers. This time I have multi-tracked live takes with Big Sky and Timfactor effects-fueled production chock full of EQ, compression and a few dubious mastering techniques. The TR-8 drum machine is barely breaking a sweat, churning out a painfully simple beat. There are some factoids relating to the JX-8P along the way. What is this music? I call it a cheesy 80's dream pop rendition in 3/4 time with almost a two step feel. I know, I'm scratching my head too...I was very tempted to scrap this during recording. But it was too fun to see it through, too odd not to post, too catchy for me to easily dismiss."

"Great for stage, studio and everywhere in between."

FM Essential Introduction
iOS Application FM Essential Voice demo

Update: Details via Yamaha (Details on FM Essential here):

"The MX BK/BU series synthesizers feature carefully selected sounds taken from the Yamaha MOTIF XS. That powerful sonic palette is packed into sleek packages (available in 49- and 61-note versions) that fit today’s on-the-go life style. But the MX BK/BU Series aren’t just synthesizers; they are designed to bridge the gap between hardware and software. By adding extensive audio and MIDI USB connectivity, advanced DAW and VST controller features and a suite of powerful music production software, the MX BK/BU integrate hardware reliability with controller flexibility to give you the best of both worlds at a ground breaking level of affordability.

Features:

Over 1000 Sounds from the MOTIF Series – The MX BK/BU series contains more than 1000 Voices derived directly from the Yamaha MOTIF XS music production synthesizer. From realistic acoustic sounds like piano, electric piano, strings and drums to complex 8-element synth sounds, the MX BK/BU puts favorite MOTIF XS Voices at your fingertips. The newly designed category selection makes it easier than ever to find the Voice you need. You can even edit and store your own sounds right onboard.

Class-compliant, “plug and play” USB audio/MIDI – The MX BK/BU series features class-compliant, “plug and play” USB audio/MIDI with iOS, Mac and PC. Just plug it in and your MX BK/BU synthesizer becomes your audio and MIDI interface for the rest of your music studio. Monitor all the sounds from your computer via the headphone output of the MX BK/BU or listen to your DAW tracks by connecting the MX BK/BU to external studio monitors or PA gear. The audio converters on the MX BK/BU are made for professional music applications so everything on your computer — even games — will sound better when using the MX BK/BU as the output. The MX BK/BU interface is bi-directional for digitally recording your MX BK/BU directly to your computer or iOS device resulting in high-quality audio.
Plug and Play, “FM Essential” – “FM Essential” is an FM synthesizer app for iPhone and iPad with real-time synth performance and editing. Connect your iOS device to the Yamaha music synthesizer MX BK/BU, and you can do following:

Play all 271 high-quality Voices consisting of preset sounds from the V50, TX81Z and DX100 Legacy FM PLUS presets and combination Voices specially made for the MX BK/BU series.

Change Voices of FM Essential and control various parameters via the MX BK/BU onboard controllers.

Easy Split /Layer Performance Mode – Performance Mode on the MOTIF has always been the place to find instant inspiration and the MX BK/BU is no different. You can easily combine two Voices to play on the keyboard using the dedicated Split and Layer buttons each with their own intelligent arpeggiator and a dedicated Part for a drum track to create evocative Performances that feel like a whole band is playing. The 128 Performances on the MX BK/BU are all user editable so you can customize them for your style of music.

16-Part Multi Timbral and 128-note Polyphony – In addition to Splits and layers, the MX BK/BU features full 16-Part MIDI for creating entire arrangements using DAW software. This also lets you create live performance sets where you can switch between parts without any sound cutoff.. With 128 notes of polyphony there are plenty of notes to play even the densest sequences from your DAW. These features make the MX BK/BU the perfect tone generator solution for live performance and live playback of DAW MIDI tracks.

Extensive Hands-On Controls for VSTs and DAWs – The MX BK/BU also features solid knobs and durable buttons for controlling internal sounds, DAW parameters and VST instruments. The deceptively simple interface is combined with a remote template editor on your computer so any VST you own or any new VSTs you buy can be easily setup to be controlled by the MX. There are advanced integration templates for use with a variety of DAWs. When used with Cubase, there is even an AI knob so any parameter can be controlled by the large rotary encoder just by mousing over it. It’s never been quicker to take full control of Cubase.

Complete Suite of Music Production Software Included – The MX BK/BU series is the only hardware synth in its price range to come with a complete suite of music production software tools. The included Steinberg Cubase AI features 48 audio tracks and 64 MIDI tracks, notation, built-in VST effects, so with just the MX BK/BU and AI you can do complete productions. But we didn’t stop there; it comes bundled with Steinberg Prologue and the Yamaha YC-3B organ emulator so you have some compelling VSTs to get started. Plus there are Remote Template editors for setting up controls of VSTs.

Cubasis LE – In addition to Cubase AI, the MX BK/BU series is compatible with Cubasis LE, a DAW app for iOS. Connect MX BK/BU to your iOS device (requires Lightning to USB Camera Adapter) and unlock USB audio and MIDI recording between MX BK/BU and Cubasis LE.

Complete Analog and Digital Connectivity – In addition to the USB audio/MIDI port, the MX BK/BU has a USB TO DEVICE port for external data storage to USB flash drive. You can even play back .WAV data from the flash drive. If you want to add a tablet or an MP3 player to your system just connect to the AUX input using a mini stereo cable and you are ready to go.

Lightweight Design with a Quality Keyboard – While almost all other keyboard controllers use inexpensive OEM keyboards, the MX BK/BU series features an expertly crafted keyboard that only Yamaha — the world’s largest keyboard manufacturer — could produce. Weighing only 3.8kg (MX49 BK/BU) or 4.8kg (MX61 BK/BU), either synthesizer can be carried easily with one hand. MX synthesizers have a compact design so they are easy to carry to the gig and also fit easily into today’s compact home music production studios.
VCM Effects – MX BK/BU synthesizers come equipped with VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) effects, which simulate vintage effectors at the circuit level. The sounds of the ‘70s are brought back to life, through simulating the hard-to-find vintage sounds of equalizer, flanger, phaser, and wah effects introduced by the keyboard legends of the era."
