#jamuary2019 Day 19 - Korg Minilogue

Published on Jan 19, 2019 Oscillator Sink

"After a few days off thanks to a combination of work and illness, I'm easing myself back in with the Minilogue. A fairly simple patch (with a little bit of cross mod shininess); an arpeggiated chord progression; delay and reverb provided by the Zoom MS-CDR70; and some obligatory knob tweaking. Just what I needed to get up and running again."

Ribbons - Ondes Martenot Inspired iOS App

Published on Jan 19, 2019 Olympia Noise Co.

"Ribbons is now a universal app!

Olympia Noise Co. has released version 1.4 of Ribbons, their Ondes Martenot-inspired electronic instrument. With this free update, Ribbons is now universal, supporting iPhone 5s and newer, and adds support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) output.

On the iPhone, Ribbons now can use touch pressure (Z-Axis) to control various parameters of the synth, including LFO Depth and Rate, Wavetable, Volume, and Filter setting. Z-Axis can also be used to control MPE parameters. Z-Axis is only available on devices that support 3D Touch (iPhone 6 and newer).

When Ribbons (née Ondes) launched in 2014, MPE was not yet a MIDI standard, so the implementation of the MIDI output was a bit of hack; Each finger could be mapped to a unique MIDI Port and Channel, allowing each touch to control a different MIDI destination. While this mode is still available (“Classic mode”), Ribbons now supports the MPE MIDI standard, allowing you to use the unique Ribbons interface to control MPE synths like Moog Model D and Model 15.

Toraiz AS-1 Sounds (and Coffee) Part 4

Published on Jan 19, 2019 Stochastic Design

"More examples of tweaking the factory sounds and using the arpeggiator. I think it sounds beautiful and is fairly straightforward to program from the front panel. Knobs are solid and the display provides enough information to be useful.

It's odd that the sequencer loses sync in certain circumstances (changing sound, delay sync etc.) and can't resync again, and I do miss parameter sequencing ("motion sequencing") but it is designed to be driven from an external sequencer, so that should not be a dealbreaker."

Yamaha MODX SUPER FAT 80's Sound

Published on Jan 19, 2019 synthartist69

"Here is a patch that I have been constantly modifying to get that HUGE 80's Synth Brass sound.. This is an original composition, kind of reminds me of an 80's detective or car chase scene. I am sure it will continue to evolve as I get more familiar with the MODX.. For drums I used the Roland TR707. Thanks for watching!"

Octave Cat SRM -2040 filter - Collector quality

via this auction

"I bought this cat, from the original builder, David Frederick Sr. You can tell its never left his personal studio....

This Cat has been completely renovated electronically and cosmetically by David himself. Looks, sounds and performs like brand new from the factory. Really really great condition.
Comes with record & some patch/history papers.

This synth is a beast and should be considered as a super ARP Odyessy. I own two of them. This one and a Cat SRM which I am keeping. This also comes with the original Evatone Demo Record for those interested in such things."
