Published on Aug 16, 2019 Lower West Side Studio

"Lower West Side Studio checks out Zorx Electronics Ribbon Controller on loan from Art For The Ears.

It's a very fun way to control your modular synthesizer."

"The ZORX ribbon controller is an all analog, made in the USA synth controlling labor of love. Hand built from high quality components it measures 27" X 1.5" X 1" and features a 500mm touch sensitive ribbon that controls pitch, filter, etc., a pressure sensor with an attenuator, a N/O or N/C gate function with a momentary push button, and an ancillary knob for LFO rate, filter, or whatever you'd like.

AND IT DOESN’T NEED A COMPUTER/MODULE/BREAKOUT BOX TO OPERATE.
With 5 LED colors to choose from and with textured opaque sidewalls and a clear top & base it looks amazing, too.

SYNCLAVIER TIMBRE CREATION

Published on Aug 17, 2019 100 Things I Do

"Its been a while since I did a Synclavier video so I thought I would show some more Timbre/sound design. I keep it to one oscillator (more or less... the Chorus effect uses 2 voices detuned from each other). Just adding harmonics and FM"

This module is only available in Modcan A Format - not as an Eurorack module."

Published on Aug 17, 2019 Alfonse

"Live jam featuring Ian Bostic on drums and Alfonse on the Novation Bass Station ii, as well as the 1988 Yamaha PSS-680 FM mini-synth. The two tracks of customised Yamaha patches were overdubbed later, with effects provided by the Boss DD7 digital delay and CH1 Super Chorus pedals. Some additional reverb was added to the synths at the mixing stage.

For anyone who has a keyboard from the PSS-480 to 780 range, here are the parameters for the lead patch:
Voice 84: 0.35 1.45 2.19 3.07 4.01 5.02 6.05 7.88
