Dead Moog Satellite Upcycled Synth DIY

Published on Dec 30, 2017 Gregory Stephens

"Moog Satellite - all sorts of wiring and power issues, few bad ICs, but did get a few 3080s. Then Converted it to a v/o controller with a CV, GATE and SAW output."

Ensoniq EPS - Synthesized Loop

Published on Dec 30, 2017 100 Things I Do

"The Ensoniq EPS was the first sampler I owned. This was in the early 2000's and by this time anything less than 16 bit 32mb ram was considered unusable so I picked it up for a few hundred dollars and started to build my studio around it. Of course being the early 2000's I started lusting after a AKAI S1000 with 16 bits and 32mb of RAM :D... So the EPS was sold and Akai was purchased. I lust now after the S1000 for the looks and memories but not really anything about the sound.

I was fortune a few months ago to pick up another EPS and was surprised how much of how to work the beast I was able to remember. Not long until I was sampling again and using those magical Loop algorithms. There is something very special in what they can do. Making your sample sound a lot like a Fairlight all the way to almost totally changing the character of the sound!

Today I focus on the Synthesized Loop option! It really works strange magic across any short sample! Sorry about the light fading in and out at the start of the clip, I need to get some decent studio lights.

I'm thinking of doing a series of clips where I review...mostly verbally All the synths I have owned to date (I'm shocked how many!). If you think this would be interesting let me know in the comments and I will make a start in the new year!"

Rheyne - Three Mothers

Published on Dec 30, 2017 Rheyne

Playlist:

1. Rheyne - Three Mothers, part 1 (Moog Mother-32 self-oscillating filter)

The first of three vids using only Moog Mother-32 synths. In this patch, all sounds are from the self-oscillating filters. The VCOs and LFOs are only used for modulation. The sequencers are playing the default 1-step pattern, with stepped-random voltages from the assignable outputs controlling the pitch of the filters and the rate of the LFOs.

The output of each synth was sent to a Yamaha MG12XU mixer, with a Strymon BigSky on an aux-send. Audio was recorded onto a Tascam DR-44 directly from the mixer. Although it sounds like there's delay present, these are actually modulations from a square LFO. The only effect is reverb from a BigSky.

2. Rheyne - Three Mothers, part 2 (Moog Mother-32 pad, bass, and melody)

In this patch, the top Mother handles bass, the middle Mother plays the slow melody, and the bottom Mother is the pad / arpeggio saturated in reverb.

3. Rheyne - Three Mothers, part 3 (Moog Mother-32 x3)

The third of three vids using only the Moog Mother-32 (x3). The top Mother handles the slow melody, bass is from the middle Mother, and the bottom Mother-32 handles both the kick and the snare (2 voices from one Mother). Reverb is from a Strymon BigSky. The only other equipment used was a Yamaha MG12XU and a Tascam DR-44.

Fun with a Kobol

Published on Dec 30, 2017 yusynthman

"Avant la venue du propriétaire du Kobol que j'ai remis en état j'ai fait un petit test que j'ai filmé. Voilà donc une petite vidéo montrant son Kobol en action, il est séquencé par un Q960 Synthesizers.com. Le son est capté par le microphone de la caméra donc ce n'est pas de très haute qualité et l'on peut parfois entendre ma respiration (Noise generator 100% bio !).
Un Kobol Expander Rack vient en second ajouter une couche à la séquence puis je m'amuse successivement avec le Waldorf MicroWave XT, le Manikin Memotron, le MatrixBrute d'Arturia, le CS15 de Yamaha, le Multiman S de Crumar et enfin la "Main Console" du Roland System 700 modular. Aucune prétention musicale dans tout ceci qui est totalement improvisé.
J'espère que ces 4 minutes vous distraieront.

I shot this video to test the Kobol synthesizer that I repaired for a friend. The Kobol is sequenced by a Q960 Synthesizers.com . The sound is recorded by the camera microphone therefore don't expect high quality... and sometimes one can hear me breathing (100% biological noise generator). As the sequence loops I have fun improvising with some of my synths : Waldorf MicroWave XT, Manikin Memotron, Arturia MatrixBrute, Yamaha CS15, lCrumar Multiman S and "Main Console" of the Roland System 700 modular"

Adding Juno Chorus to the Prophet REV2

Published on Dec 30, 2017

"The Dave Smith Prophet REV2 (8 voices here) is an amazing synth! But add some Juno chorus and say 'WOW', I use the TAL-Chorus-LX, a really nice emulation of the famous Roland Juno Chorus, I also added some FX reverb with the Eventide Space.
My little kitten really liked it so he wanted to play with me! :-)"
