Studio Electronics SE-02 Ext Box — SynthFest UK 2018


Published on Oct 17, 2018 Sound On Sound magazine

"The Roland Boutique SE-02 turned heads when it was released and not just because it was the first analogue device in the Boutique series of miniature synths. It was also, of course, the first collaboratively designed model, too. With a three-oscillator design, the SE-02 lent itself nicely to monophonic synth basses with dynamic filter sweeps. The only problem is that the filter cutoff knob is rather small.

In order to remedy that issue, and in response to customer feedback, Studio Electronics have announced the SE-02 Ext Box which filters a large filter knob for more tactile performance control, amongst other things. We discover more from UK Distributor Simon Lowther of MSL Pro."

Yamaha TQ5 with MIDI Designer on iPad


Published on Oct 17, 2018 quadratschulz

"The Yamaha TQ5 is probably one of the most underrated and cheap synthesizers today. Manufactured in 1988, where it was clearly targeted to the consumer market with barely any parameters to edit at the device, it's actually an TX81z in a box with nearly all of its functionality available via MIDI. The desktop unit was designed by Hartmut Esslinger's company Frog Design that was also responsible for many legendary industry designs back then for Apple, Wega and Texas Instruments to name just a few.

Here you can see the Yamaha TQ5 connected to an iPad running the MIDI Designer app and the Yamaha TQ5 layout. More details here:

In theory (I have not tested this) this layout should also work with other Yamaha FM synthesizers (e.g. TX81z), since the MIDI specification is largely compatible between these two synths."

Prism of Composition: Introduction to René's Z Axis


Published on Oct 17, 2018 MAKEN0ISE

"This video introduces the third dimension of René programming: the Z Axis.

Please note: This video is deep. If you’re not already pretty familiar with the Program Pages of René, go watch the earlier videos in the René playlist [below], use them to make some music, and come back to this one later. You can have endless fun with three channels of X and Y axes before you move onto the Z Axis."

The path to Patch & Tweak & Eurorack patching in the bushes


Published on Oct 17, 2018 DivKidVideo

"I had a great time meeting Kim Bjørn of Push Turn Move and Patch and Tweak. Unfortunately that chat was on a cold and windy day at the side of the M606 on an industrial estate. Still, we had some fun chatting background, the book, his book tour for Patch and Tweak, the path to Patch and Tweak and I had the chance to do some Eurorack patching in the bushes, or on the bushes, or modular in the leaves (comment with a funny/silly title) with Kim's USB power bank powered skiff. Good fun, nice to speak to Kim, cheers for watching go to Kim's channel and check out more of us having a casual interview and chat."

PATCH & TWEAK's video:

Chat and patch with DivKid

Published on Oct 17, 2018 PATCH & TWEAK

"Co-author of PATCH & TWEAK, Kim Bjørn, met with DivKid outside the M606 motorway north of Sheffield after Synthfest'18 to have a chat about his contribution to the book, his background, getting into modular, and more."

Agar Agar - Against The Clock


Published on Oct 17, 2018 FACTmagazine
Update 10/17/18 9:53PM: video is back.

"All aboard for our first ever Against The Clock on a boat.

French electronic duo Agar Agar are singer Clara Cappagli and synth wizard Armand Bultheel. The duo met in art school four years ago and bonded over a love of music and art, forming Agar Agar despite their contrasting backgrounds in garage rock and club music.

We jumped at the chance to feature the duo on Against The Clock and were happily surprised when they told us we'd be recording on a boat. The duo proved themselves an act to watch in 2018 thanks to Bultheel's electronic shoegaze instrumental and Cappagli's evocative vocals.

Watch the session above and check out Agar Agar's second album The Dog and The Future, which is out now via Cracki Records. Don't miss Agar Agar's upcoming London show next week."

This is what an Antarctic Ice Shelf sounds like


Published on Oct 16, 2018 American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Synth sounds in nature. Dude/dudette with a modular in a cave under the ice sheets somewhere.

"Winds blowing across snow dunes on Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf cause the massive ice slab’s surface to vibrate, producing a near-constant drumroll of seismic “tones” scientists could potentially use to monitor changes in the ice shelf from afar, according to new research.

The ice shelf’s “song” is too low in frequency to be heard by human ears, but it has been made audible here by geophysicist and mathematician Julien Chaput, who sped up a 2015 recording of the ice shelf’s vibrations about 1,200 times."

"We just approved the final pre-production sample of the PRO-1 and are now gearing up for mass production. As you will notice, we have added quite a few more patch points as well as other cool features.

We are quite excited about this synth as it turned out really well 🙂
