DIY Roland GR-700 Software Version Upgrade

via Wayne Joness where you'll find the download and how to upgrade.

"For the really ambitious GR-700 owner, I have uploaded BIN files for the Roland GR-700 version 1.4 and version 1.5 operating system. Version 1.5 is faster than the previous versions, and includes a new set of factory patches. This version also supports MIDI Input, but I do not have the details on the required hardware modifications."

Note the GR-700 has the same analog synth engine as the Roland JX-3P.

New Shrolca Digital Wavecycle Shruthi Synthesizer on Kickstarter

Via Kickstarter where you'll find additional videos and details.

Cool synth art below!

"The Shrolca is one of the most powerful synthesizers for it's size made today. The foundation is the Mutable Instrument's Shruthi. The Shruthi has a powerful sound engine and analog filter. This offering is no different. It has the same Digital wavecycle oscillators and sequencers and modulation matrix with a classic transistor ladder 24dB voltage controlled filter. Our other inspiration was the popular Korg line on mini synthesizers, the Volca series. We have included a touch activated MIDI keyboard that makes performances in the closet fun! The prototype featured on this campaign page has a wooden box but, the production unit will have a machined aluminum body that is less than an inch deep.

The keyboard, sequencer and arp can all transmit midi data to the midi output. Please see videos below for rundown of options and info on some of the many capabilities of the synth.

Other improvements included in the production unit will be: thicker flat black coating to the faceplate, thicker solder for the touchplates, and higher quality materials used for the faceplate. There will also be a eurorack mounting frame with cv i/o available as a separate accessory.

Risks and challenges

We have been working on this synthesizer for a little over two years, the only challenge we have left will be to have the units manufactured. These have been prototyped multiple times and we are satisfied with the results. We already have quotes and machine time reserved to manufacture and have ready to ship by October."

DSI Prophet X Sounds

Published on Jun 1, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Dave Smith Instruments brought a pre-production Prophet X by our shop in Burbank and we were able to record some sounds from it. Since this is a pre-production model there might be some changes to the presets and faceplate on the final unit. The Prophet X combines two analog and two digital oscillators that can playback samples. A sample library from 8DIO is built into the Prophet X so you have a large library of instrument sounds available. The Prophet X has analog filters and 8 voices of stereo or 16 mono voices.

MIDI Designer Pro Programming Interface For MakeNoise 0-Coast

Published on Jun 1, 2018 The Drümünkey

MakeNoise 0-Coast iPad editor.

"This is a video offering some basic explanation of a little MIDI Designer Pro layout I created to help access some of the Make Noise 0-Coast functionality that's in the "programming pages"

You can DL the MDP Layout here:

http://mididesigner.com/qa/6567/progr...

Two important things to note:

1) You are required to do a shot every time I say "Um"
2) You must slam a beer when I say "Basically"

* Thanks Dan @ MDP for making such a great program
* Thanks to Make Noise for making such a powerful little black box!"

Bit of west coast action: Roli Lightblock, Max 7 and midi sliders

Published on Jun 1, 2018 junklight

"experimenting with non traditional music control after watching this superb trailer (http://www.clarityfilms.org/buchla/vi...) (which BTW I can't noticing they haven't made the full film yet - chop chop! I want to watch it)

This is a Max Map patch driven by the light block - nothing is prerecorded there is a simple 4 second loop controlled by two of the faders - all sounds controlled directly by the block - with pressure and y axis controlling FM synthesis"
