"If you like the Korg Polysix but have never heard the Mono/Poly, this is a real treat. Its got 4 voices and each voice has its own set of different waveforms! It can play up to 4 voices in poly mode, but its unison setting is what makes this synth so powerful. imagine 4 stacked voices with their own set of waveforms and parameters. These make, as you can imagine, for some INSANELY epic basses and leads! This synth is in perfect working condition. There are no issues whatsoever and performs flawlessly! There are just some cosmetic scratches, mostly on the corners of the wood panels."

"As you can see, it’s in fantastic shape. It sounds amazing.

Integrates with the modular / CV based setup effortlessly. On-board sequencer is super simple, but also very effective. With all the menu diving and complex onboard sequencing on synths these days, it’s a rare treat to have something immediate that gets results quickly and without much thought at all. With the 101, the real beauty is getting lost in your creativity – not having to think about which button gets you to which menu blah blah blah. It’s all right in front of you here – immediate results. There are lots of tricks to discover that arise from its CV inputs / outputs and Clock In, but that’s for your to discover – I won’t spoil it.

All sliders / pots in tip-top shape, and the slider moves around like it just came out of the box – I’ve seen so many of these units over the years take a beating – broken sliders, missing buttons. That’s not the case with this particular unit – when not in use, the unit has always been turned off and covered to keep dust off the key contacts and also to prevent buildup in/around the sliders. Also included pics of the battery compartment - this can be a major disaster if batteries have leaked out over the years. I’ve never put batteries in this unit, and I don’t believe the previous owner did either."

DSI PRO 2 SNARE DRUM SYNTHESIS TUTORIAL // Synthesize This! Ep.02

Published on Dec 12, 2016 once upon a synth

"Let's try to synthesize a snare drum sound on the DSI Pro 2 synthesizer. The main idea is to simulate the top head, bottom head and snare separetely. We approximate the top and bottom head with triangle or sine oscillators and the snare with white noise. The top and bottom head oscillators have their frequency modulated by an ADSR envelope generator to emulate the response of membrane being struck by a stick. Finally I end with a simple demonstration of what the Pro 2's snare drum sounds like along with a Korg Volca Beats which I've synced via MIDI."

Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas demo

Published on Dec 12, 2016 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The Basimilus Iteritas Alter from Noise Engineering is the improved edition of their famous original. It is a complex drum voice created using six oscillators and one noise source for additive synthesis, with various algorithms deciding on how they modulate, interpolate and combine. In Skin mode, it uses a basic additive synthesizer technique that simulates instruments with less complex overtones. The Metal setting starts adding in cross-modulation between the six oscillators, for much denser and complex waveforms. A Liquid mode has been added to the Basimilus Iteritas Alter for more drippy type drum sounds."

NOISECOLLECTIVE Modular Synth Masterclass Workshop with Gino Robair

NOISECOLLECTIVE is having a modular synth masterclass workshop with Gino Robair. The event will be held at the Mothership club in Turin Italy. You can pick up tickets at NOISECOLLECTIVE here. The following are the details on the event, first in Italian, then English further below.

IL WORKSHOP
Il workshop prenderà in esame una serie di tecniche da utilizzare durante l'improvvisazione con sintetizzatori modulari in un contesto di gruppo e pone le basi per un concerto la sera stessa, con i partecipanti al workshop.

Il workshop si concentrerà sulla sensibilizzazione e l'ascolto globale durante l' improvvisazione, esplorerà strategie di patching per ottenere la massima varietà ed evitare la stagnazione.

Verranno presi in esame concetti come primo piano / sottofondo, solista / supporto, controllo gestuale, e intenzione / non-intenzione.

Particolare interessante per i musicisti che utilizzano sintetizzatori modulari perché spesso la tentazione con lo strumento è quello di sovrapporre semplicemente suoni.

Gino utilizza strategie, concetti e spunti basati sul suo lavoro e sul lavoro di John Zorn, Butch Morris, ROVA Sax Quartet, Anthony Braxton e Frank Zappa.

I partecipanti devono portare un loro strumento. Possono utilizzare qualsiasi synth analogico, anche se il workshop è prevalentemente incentrato sui sintetizzatori modulari.
