"Personalized in withe faced

The first synthesizer in Japan made by Roland in 1973.

It is a 37 key monophonic synthesizer."

"withe" is messing with my eyes... Reading it as "with the faced." Obvious was meant to be "white".

Sónar+D 2018: Playtronica shows us its quirky MIDI controllers

Published on Jun 15, 2018 FACTmagazine

"Synthesizers don't have to be played with black and white keys: in recent years we've seen the rise of grid controllers, tablets and squishy, multi-touch surfaces for music-making. Quirky startup Playtronica is trying to make MIDI interfaces even more fun, bringing fruit and color recognition into the mix.

We visited Playtronica's stand at this weekend's Sónar+D in Barcelona – the sister event to Sónar's long-running music festival – to find out more about how its fun MIDI controllers can enable anyone to make a whole orchestra out of pineapples, use a color palette as a rhythmic sequencer and use the human body as an instrument."

Befaco - Burst (more than a basic burst!)

Published on Jun 15, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Here's the new Burst eurorack module from Befaco released this week right alongside Muxlicer (links below). Burst is way more than a basic burst generator in that it doesn't just spurt a burst or triggers out at a set rate. It works with clocks or 'pings' to set the tempo/timing and then the quality knob and CV select a burst of 1 to 16 triggers which multiple in the space. So clock or ping it it with a quarter note then get eighths, eighth note triplets, sixteenths, quintuplets, sextuplets, septuplets and so on. Play these against other rhythms and they will be TRUE POLYRHYTHMS! None of the "this does polyrhythms" marketing rubbish just because patterns don't run to the same lengths (ask my about Polyrhythms, personal bug bear! ;) . The unit then works with a distribution control to ramp up or down the speak or keep them evenly spaced. This will give scrape or bouncing ball like sounds that are great for synthesis real percussion sounds. There's then probability, tempo divide or multiply and and end of cycle output. This can also loop to be a CV-able rhythm generator too. Really nice."

22 reasons the #1 eurorack module is Maths by Make Noise

Published on Jun 15, 2018 loopop

"Maths by Make Noise is by far the #1 eurorack module on Modular Grid - both in terms of rating and popularity. In this video, I explain what Maths is and why it's so popular.

Maths sounds complicated and if you've heard some of the terms used to describe it - an analog computer, a function generator and various other quadratic equations, it may seem a bit intimidating, but overall, it has three core components: attentuverters, a mixer and slew rate limiters.

It is however the combination of these things, which a few bonus features, that makes Maths such a versatile module.

In this clip I give an example of 22 things you can use it for:

1. Audio level control (for example, to reduce eurorack audio levels to line level)
2. A simple voltage generator
3. Mod depth control for external LFOs and envelopes.
4. Signal/waveform inversion
5. An audio mixer
6. Slew for glide/portamendo effects.
7. It has multiple ways to trigger envelopes.
8. It can generate two separate AD (Attack-Delay) Envelopes.
9. Envelope curves can be linear, exponential, logarithmich, or any combination thereof, generating "sharkfin" type envelopes.
10. It can generate ASR (Attack-Sustain-Release) envelopes
11. Various type LFOs
12. Math can behave as a voltage controller oscillator (VCO)
13. By creating two VCOs and patching one to the other you can create FM style sounds
14. With a bit of patching, Maths can create extremely slow LFOs (up to 25 minutes)
15. Maths can behave as an envelope follower...
16. ... which can be used as Sidechain
17. It can be a simple clock...
18. ... and perform as a clock divider
19. You can mix envelopes and LFOs to create complex shapes, such as a fast LFO riding a slow LFO
20. The OR output can be used to create even more complex waveforms, as well as act as a rectifier that only allow positive voltages.
21. Maths can process sounds fimilar to a filter with optional resonance
22. In a pinch, Maths can act as a VCA

FM Synthesis, Preserving Preset Data

Published on Jun 15, 2018 Element433

"Digital data, including synthesiser data is gradually eroded as new incompatible technologies emerge.

This video tests how F.M. synthesis data from a 1985 machine is preserved, by step conversion, across 3 decades, from one machine to another as new technologies arrived. Did it work?

From 1985 till 2017, features the Yamaha CX5m, FB01, N.I. FM8, VOPM VST and the shiny new Preen FM2 hardware.

Goodies for FM8, DX7, VolcaFM, PreenFm2, VOPM etc below

GOODIES:

Presets for VOPM VST/AU, converted from my original CX5m 80s:
