10 Minutes with SPACECRAFT: iPad Granular Synth

Published on Feb 12, 2019 MR TUNA Music

"For this video I created a random wave sequence on the (very cool) Korg iWaveStation app, and then I imported the audio of that sequence into the (even cooler) SpaceCraft app by Mark Watt. The audio is 100% SpaceCraft with no extra processing."

Best Ambient Synth Shootout No.64: Roland M-VS1 - Song 3

Published on Feb 12, 2019 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the third song with the Roland M-VS1. It's a 28 voice 8-part multitimbral ROMpler from the mid-90s with a focus on vintage synths.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
Roland M-VS1 - Roland TR-8 (for sidechaining effects) - Alesis Philtre - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI Systems Specular Reverb v2

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

1977 YAMAHA CS60: Restoring the KAS board

Published on Feb 12, 2019 Stephen Coker

"Stephen Coker Restores the KAS board in the 1977 Vintage YAMAHA CS60 Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer.

These Japanese Instruments are Extremely Complex yet, very well built.

But, many of the Components are no longer available. Especially the Proprietary YAMAHA IC's.
Many of the PCB's are the same within the CS80/CS60/CS50 Synthesizers. The CS80 being the Largest and most dense of the three and, Most well known.

But, the CS60/CS50 are very nice Synth's and are Highly sought after, due to them having the same voice cards as the more popular, larger CS80.

The Difficulty Level in Restoring the CS80/CS60/CS50 instruments are very high, due in part from the amount of components used but also, the complexity of many of the circuits.

These are very unique instruments that are extremely expressive and, is the closest to an acoustic instrument that any analog Synthesizer has ever come, partly due to the non-digital implementation of modulation and, other voltages used within the instrument."

Cascading Two Filters Tips/Tricks Delta VCF Eurorack Synth [Demo #4]

Published on Feb 12, 2019 gstormelectro

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2019

Today we've got a good one.
I'm going to show you some fun to be had running two filters in series and parallel.
You can do these things with any filters w/ lowpass and bandpass.
This time using two of my Delta VCF modules.

0:00 Opening
0:38 Cascading Filters (2 Filters in Series)
4:20 Parallel (Stereo) Filters

The Delta VCF is an adaptation of the Korg Delta/Poly-61 filter.
Per usual, my sound source will be the Pittsburgh Synthesizer Box.
LFOs are coming from Batumi.

Audio recorded direct to Tascam DR-05.
Some normalization, otherwise no effects.

Be sure to check out the Delta VCF and my other cool modules available in my Reverb store. http://reverb.com/shop/gstormelectro"

Doepfer Dark Time stops after a minute with midi clock

Published on Feb 12, 2019 Vykaar Tones

"Short video which captured the moment when my blue led Dark Time sequencer randomly stopped. The background music is not relevant to the video or problem shown. The DT was only connected to an Arturia Beatstep Pro at the time"

Curious what happened in this case. This is the first time I've heard of this problem so I'm guessing it's not widespread and specific to this particular instance or setup. If anyone has heard of other cases feel free to comment.

New Electro-Harmonix Mono Synth Guitar Synthesizer

Published on Feb 12, 2019 EHX

See if you can recognize the songs. :)

"EHX unveils the Mono Synth which transforms a guitar into 11 different synthesizers… from vintage synth emulations to fat, stacked voices to soaring lead synth sounds and more.

The Mono Synth was designed to work on guitar without any modifications, special pickups or MIDI implementation. Its intuitive layout makes it user friendly. The pedal’s DRY dial adjusts the dry guitar volume at the Synth Output while SYNTH controls the volume of the synthesizer sound at the Synth Output. Used together they let a player fine tune their mix. The SENS control, short for sensitivity, adjusts how playing dynamics trigger the synthesizer and tailors the pedal’s response to the guitarist’s instrument and playing style.

A key parameter for each of the 11 synth types can be adjusted via the CTRL knob. It varies depending on the preset and provides enhanced “tweakability.” There is also an EXP input that lets the player control an entirely different parameter in real-time with an expression pedal.

EHX Founder, Mike Matthews, stated: “From string-like synths, to aggressive resonant sounds and deep drones and bell-like tones, the Mono Synth puts a collection of hot synthesizers at your fingertips.”

The Mono Synth comes equipped with an EHX 9.6DC-200mA power supply.

Quick Specs:

- Features eleven great sounding, mono synth sounds

- Easy to use controls let you dial in the sound you want quickly

- EXP pedal input for real-time expressive control with your foot

- Create, save and recall eleven user presets, one for each of the eleven synth sounds

- EHX 9.6VDC-200mA power supply included

- Current Draw: 125mA @ 9VDC

- Dimensions in inches: 4.0(w) x 4.75(l) x 2.25(h)

- Dimensions in mm: 102(w) x 121(l) x 58(h)"

Filter Guessing Game - Moog Grandmother vs Sub 37

Published on Feb 12, 2019 Noir Et Blanc Vie

"Soooooo, I thought, why not compare the filters in the Sub37 and the Moog Grandmother. Their design is a bit different. This test is FAR from perfect because, uhhh I’d never watch a video of just someone not talking just comparing filters, so why not try and guess in a game, could be fun...see how much the filters sound the same with raw oscillators. Whatever ;)

P.S. I know the Grandmother can be “duophonic” but that requires another external CV control and I didn’t want to include features outside of what the synth can natively accomplish. So whoever states that in the comments section of this video hoover off hahah"
