DSI PRO 2 SYNTHESIS TUTORIALS

DSI PRO 2 BASS DRUM SYNTHESIS TUTORIAL ~ Synthesize This! Ep.01

Published on Dec 9, 2016 once upon a synth

"A tutorial on how to synthesize bass drum sounds on the DSI Pro 2 synthesizer. Synthesizing a bass/kick drum is relatively simple. The main idea is to simulate the response of a membrane being struck by a mallet. The crude approximation involves a sine wave whose frequency starts off really high but quickly drops down. The sine wave is achieved either via a sine wave oscillator directly or via a resonant low pass filter during self oscillation. In both cases, the sine wave's frequency is modulated via an ADSR envelope generator. In this video I demonstrate both approaches as well as adding effects like distortion or some of the character FX on the Pro 2. Finally I end with a simple demonstration of what the Pro 2's bass drum sounds like along with a Korg Volca Beats which I've synced via MIDI.

Let me know in the comments below if you guys have any other tips with regards to synthesizing kick drums. I'm still learning all this stuff so hopefully we can help each other out!

Synthrotek Case Power Mini For all Those Tight Spaces

via Synthrotek

"Power. More. Power. Albeit, smaller.

The Case Power Mini is a smaller, more affordable version of our Case Power. It is safe, clean, quiet, and will power small Eurorack systems. Connecting Case Power Mini to your current bus board system is easy with our molex Connector or Molex adapter cable. We have 3U or 1U power entry panels available, but Case power Mini doesn't have to take up valuable HP space; you can wire a jack, LED and switch into your case and easily attach them to the board.

Cool retro "mini" ad. Synthrotek is definitely good at them.

New Ants! Analog Modular Synthesizer From Plankton Electronics

Currently on kickstarter.

"An affordable modular analog synthesizer. Make your music with this pure analog sound machine.

Ants! is:

Analog: true analog electronics and sound.

Modular: connect the different parts and functions with standard 3.5mm pacth cords to create from classic to weird and new sounds.

Affordable: Ants! retail price will be 480€. Just a fraction of the cost of a basic eurorack modular system.

Compatible: 100% compatible with the eurorack voltage system and patching cords. It can be expanded it with most of the eurorack modules available in the market.

Portable: small size and desktop format.

Big: despite the small size Ants! have a lot of features which make it very powerful and versatile. Much more than a basic modular system.

Features:

4 Oscillators: yes, 4! V/Oct triangle-core oscillators. 2 of them switchable to LFO. Combining sinusoidal, triangle, saw, square and pulse with PWM. Play chords, detuned basses, octaved leads, drums, and frequency modulated sounds.

2 LFOs: 2 low frequency oscillators with triangle, square and pulse outputs.

VCF: switchable analog 12dB low-pass / 6db high-pass filter with resonance. At high input volumes it distort the signal. Self oscillating. It can sound crystal clear or really dirty.

2 A/R envelopes: 2 attack - release envelopes with manual and external controls. Working at different times.

Mixer: 3 input mixer. Mix oscillators, envelopes, noise or any other AC or DC signal.

2 VCAs: control the level of the signals with 2 analog VCAs.

Noise: a white noise source!

Sample and Hold: create random voltages, stepped sequences or dither your sounds or even your own voice.
AND gate: logic AND gate. Combine oscillators to create new waves, combine LFOs to create different patterns or mix your control signals to create complex modulations.

MIDI to CV: connect any MIDI keyboard, sequencer or computer and transform the digital signal to analog voltages for controlling the synth.

49 patch points, 28 potentiometers, 5 switches and 8 leds.

Normalized: Some connections are already made between some functions. Just connect your Midi or CV controller and play the synth without patching it. You can break any connection by plugging a patch cord to the normalized input."
