ROLAND JUPITER-6 - Presets, Sounds & Patches 【SYNTH DEMO】


Published on Nov 30, 2018 synth4ever

"Synth demo of the Roland Jupiter-6 analog synthesizer, filmed at the Synth Palace in Montreal, Quebec Canada (www.synthpalace.com or .net).

Introduced in 1983, the Roland Jupiter-6 synth has 6-voices of polyphony, MIDI and is well known for creating cutting leads, buzzy drones and techy blips and beeps.

The Roland Jupiter-6 features 2 VCOs per voice (CEM 3340 oscillators), 2 LFOs, osc sync and cross-mod, a resonant multimode filter (LP/BP/HP), 2 ADSR envelopes, arpeggiator, bi-timbrality and unison mode.

Many people consider the Roland Jupiter-6 to be the little brother of the Roland Jupiter-8, but the Jupiter 6 stands on its own two feet and has its own distinct sound.

This Roland Jupiter 6 synth demo features some ambient sounds, patches and presets from the Jupiter 6 analog synth from Roland including leads, arpeggiator, pads, LFOs, noise and resonance.

All sounds are from the Roland Jupiter 6 synthesizer with a touch of delay from Strymon El Capistan effects pedal."

Teenage Engineering OP-Z Amble Jam Outdoors in Park


Published on Nov 30, 2018 Martin Yam Moller

Thought the OP-Z was mounted on a bike at first! See the Outdoors label at the bottom of this post for more outdoor synth vids.

"My 2nd Amble Jam with the Teenage Engineering OP-Z. This time I go for a walk in my local park in Vanløse, Copenhagen (Grøndalsparken)

It's a typical winter day in Denmark: cold, but beautifully sunny... Still very cold! So this video is super short. I might take these jam sessions indoors, at least until summer. But is that interesting to watch? Leave a comment....

Gear used:
Teenage Engineering OPZ
OnePlus 1 Mobile camera
Zhiyun Smooth 4
Friction arm clamp with selfie mount
Zoom H4 to record audio
Mastered with Izotope Ozone 6
Edited in Adobe Premiere"

GOD's BOX Loose Fruit (a unique and inspiring dual eurorack waveshaper)


Published on Nov 30, 2018 DivKidVideo

"**TIMING INDEX BELOW** So here's my fulsome demo of the new Loose Fruit from GOD's BOX. For some reason I keep saying stage rather than state for the two main controls, they mustn't teach us to read in Yorkshire. Loose Fruit is a dual channel / dual state wave shaper that inspires exploration and experimenting with your patching. Stereo operation, series or parallel processing, modulation (audio rate yay!), cross fading, processing audio or CV it takes to whatever you throw to it nicely.

TIMING INDEX // SECTIONS

00:11 Patch previews

01:08 Feature run down and basic sound/function demo

05:30 Drones & addressing states, pitch shifts/harmonics and modulation

07:35 Parallel processing two different waves at different pitches. This also covers the crossfader, making dry/wet blends and stereo processing.

10:49 Series processing, input to state 1 then state 1 output to state 2 for more processing

13:06 Processing granular loops (reversed piano) and using Loose Fruit to create “distant noise memories” while trying to make Hainbach love me through the sounds I’ve created.

16:16 Processing CV to create new complex, infinitely more interesting CV modulation signals.

20:07 Processing drums and using other modules with Loose Fruit to create melodies & textures from drum sounds.

23:56 Exploring Feedback both with static waves and melodies.

27:34 Audio rate modulation over all CV inputs.

31:41 Outro waffle and with a crunchy little beat."

GOD's BOX Lollipop - FET & Vactrol/Opto based compressor for Eurorack


Published on Nov 30, 2018 DivKidVideo

"**TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS BELOW** Here's the lovely sounding FET and Opto (vactrol) based compressor from GOD's BOX called 'Lollipop'. It has a great input/output gain stage and some nice drive and saturation when pushed. You get control of threshold, ratio, attack and release with external CV input and level for side chain (works well with audio or just triggers) and CV input and level control for threshold. Take this video as a tutorial and series of ideas on how to make use of a compressor, there's some production tips in the video that will hopefully help people get the most out of any compressor, but of course grab a Lollipop it sounds great and I want another one! :)

New shiny GOD's BOX site - http://godsbox.co.uk
Available from - https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/lollipop/

Note - all the examples here are a bit more heavy handy with compression than you may want to use them. That's purely as demoing a compressor over YouTube is really hard, so I wanted to make sure things were as obvious as possible while also showing the range of the device.

TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS

00:19 Patch previews // what’s to come in the video

01:09 Quick verbal feature run down and look at the panel

01:50 DivKid’s school of audio compression - a quick primer on compression and the common controls

03:18 Compressing beats - compression demo and look at CV over threshold for dynamic / random modulation. This also look at parallel blends aka New York Compression.

08:18 Sidechain compression - ducking a bass against a kick MEGA PUMPING!

11:29 Sidechaining / ducking fully wet FX against their dry sounds - production tip for bigger FX sounds that don’t swamp the raw sound. I do this with a big reverb and a delay in this example.

14:11 Creating a “ducking delay” (see patch above, but at this point it moves to the delay instead of the reverb).

15:04 ABUSING THE LOLLIPOP - distortion, saturation and extreme compression. Looking at the in/out gain stages as well as heavy compression.

17:58 Transient Designer style functions - Compressing raw tones, much like an SPL transient designer - using the Lollipop to reshape the attack/sustain portions of a snare drum.

19:23 Compressing a guitar - Fender Telecaster (50s style for those that care, with rusty strings too they’re not from the 50s though). Both tight slappy/smacky funk and more subtle dynamic control.

21:07 Compressing a full mix - both subtle low ratio settings to add weight and control to a mix and more extreme control in parallel as a thickener."

Analog Solutions Fusebox 3: Hands-On Demo


Published on Nov 30, 2018 Starsky Carr

"A demo of the fantastically analog Fusebox 3 by Analog Solutions.

It's surprising how busy you can be while performing on a synth without a keyboard!

I've included a step-by-step explanation of how the 2 main patches are developed through the duration of the track.

The kick and toms are from Slate Digital SSD4 Blackbird expansion pack. FX are via the Eventide H9 Space Time algorithm 'Quarterly Delay' plus noise' hats through Unfiltered Audio's BYOME plugin from Plugin Alliance."

Glo the Polyphonic Whale - Forest (elemental mood channel)


Published on Nov 30, 2018 Gecho Loopsynth

"This is the first of the meditative/mood channels running in Glo, a new demo for our KS campaign: https://kck.st/2KGAHjj

No post-processing or added effects, everything is recorded via the Whale pocket synth and then cut in AfterFX. This is a raw output from the Whale."

Espen Kraft: Can I make a retro game tribute track? The Kung Fu Arcade


Published on Nov 30, 2018 Espen Kraft

Roland Alpha Juno-2, S-10 sampling keyboard, Casio SK-1, and three E-Mu Emax sampling keyboards (Emax I & 2 Emax II).

"I had this track released some time ago, 'The Kung Fu Arcade', but I was never quite happy with the sound or production so I've cleaned it up and the catalysator for getting the mood to do so was playing this little Galaga MyCabinet retro game I picked up at the local game shop.
This put me right back on track as playing it stirred up memories I'd forgotten and I got inspired to finish the track.

Rare Studio Electronics P-Five Rev3.2 - Rack Mount Prophet 5 w MIDI I/O

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. A custom Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 3.2 modified into a rack with MIDI by Studio Electronics, the P-Five. Before they made their own synths, they modified classics like the Minimoog into the Midimini, the Oberheim OB-8 into the OBie-Eight, and the Prophet-5 into the P-Five. The P-Five appears to be the rarest of the three followed by the OBie-Eight, followed by the Midimini - at least as far as they come up for sale.
