JMT SYNTH KD-2 + CASIO VL-1 music by Tomoe Inoue

Published on Oct 7, 2019 JMT SYNTH

The KD-2 was featured in this Perfect Circuit video back in 2018.

via jmtsynth

"Center minus DC9V adapter or effector that applies battery-driven analog drum synth circuit.

The sound input from the input is input to the drum synthesizer circuit with built-in filter when the EFEECT switch is turned on and hits the top of the main unit, or in response to the GATE / TRIGGER input from TRI IN, the sound is released from mute and set by SUSTAIN. It rises and sinks and disappears.

Since SWEEP is applied to the filter, the effect changes depending on the CUT OFF and RESONANCE knob settings. The effect is like a wah.

CV IN allows CV input to the filter.
The built-in function to convert GATE into an optimal signal for analog drum TRIGGER will respond correctly to both TRIGGER and GATE.

When inputting a piezo or drum pad trigger to TRIG IN, it is necessary to open the back cover and turn off the internal slide switch. In that case, the built-in piezo will be turned off and will not respond even if you hit the body.

When the EFFECT switch is turned OFF, the INPUT sound is bypassed to OUTPUT.

KD-2 runs on only DC9V negative center.

The signal from INPUT is mute while "effect" is on.And to tap the case or the external trigger from "TRI IN" make the signal sounds and turn dowm as the time setting by "SUSTAIN" level.
​
this cirucuit is from the analog synth drum with no oscillator but "INPUT".

"SWEEP" makes "wah"sound with "CUT OFF" and "RESONANCE".
CV IN is for VCF(band pass and low pass filter).

3. SYNTHFEST 2019 - More On The Modal Argon8

Modal Electronics were showing two of their Argon 8 Wavetable synths - things are moving on, there are now 4 in the world - so still at production prototypes stage.

News from the Modal Electronics camp, the Argon8 firmware is still being worked on, with some advances in DSP efficiency meaning more is happening in the on board FX department.

Still aiming for November production, but probably later in the month as opposed to early. But still largely on track.
Jackson kindly gave us a glimpse of some of the new features and DSP work thats been going on.
Argon 8 is expected by the end of November at a retail price around £579.

4. SYNTHFEST 2019 - Isotonik Studios Control For Akai Fire - Soon Come

Isotonik Studios spend a lot of their time figuring out what MIDI controllers work well with Ableton Live and construct custom scripts that will allow them to be used in ways that allow for excellent studio and live workflows. In this video we look at the way that new hardware can be hooked up. Using ClipEx Pro and the bindings feature, its possible to create your own complex, custom setups.
Also on show was the soon to be released set of functions including a Euclidian sequencer and control for the Akai Fire. Which is an FL Studio controller that's has been hijacked to work with live with some more clever scripting and a Max4 Live sequencer device.
Available soon via isotonikstudios.com

5. SYNTHFEST 2019 - VCVRack Updates And More To Come

VCV Rack as we know hit its V1.0 earlier this year and as such started to become more highly featured. We caught up with Dale from module developer Valley and talked about the environment, and future plans.

6. SYNTHFEST 2019 - Tranzient - VR Music Creation APP from AliveInTech

We saw some of the VR integration for Ableton Live from AliveInTech's Jim Simons a couple of years back. Since then VR headsets and hardware has reduced in price, making it more available, and so a new application has been developed which has a complete single software solution - with the VR, audio engine all in the same application.
Its called Tranzient and Jim gave us a look at the application in action.

Waldorf Kyra Now Available

Waldorf Kyra Sounddemo Published on Oct 7, 2019 WaldorfMusicChannel

Waldorf's Kyra is now available at a suggested retail price of €1,843.00 EUR (excluding tax). That comes out to roughly $2000 US, £1600.

"Waldorf Music announces availability of 128-voice, FPGA processing-powered Kyra VA Synthesizer sensation

REMAGEN, GERMANY: having teased the musical masses last year, then turned heads and opened ears when unveiling a preproduction prototype at The 2019 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California earlier this year, with repeat showings Stateside (at Synthplex 2019 in Burbank, California) and closer to home (at SUPERBOOTH19 in Berlin), high-quality synthesizer developer Waldorf Music is proud to announce availability of Kyra — its eagerly-awaited 128-voice, FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) processing-powered VA (virtual analogue) synthesizer sensation — as of October 7…

Accompanying documentation proudly proclaims that Kyra “...is one of the most powerful music synthesizers ever built.” But this is not hardware hyperbole on Waldorf Music’s part. Put it this way: with 32x oversampled hardware sound generation and 96kHz floating point sound processing providing guaranteed contention-free 128 voice channels, Kyra is guaranteed to make its musical mark as a sensational synthesizer that is as easy to use and easy on the eye as it is powerful and flexible.

More info here: www.boxedear.com/microwave.php"

"The Waldorf Microwave is a synth that never fails to surprise. It can go from subtle beauty to total chaos with no effort. The synthesis engine is deep and rewarding. It is everything that is great about digital wavetable synthesis. The Microwave XTk is one of my personal favourite synths of all time.

This bank contains 128 brand new sounds. Each sound has been carefully programmed to make full use of mod wheel and aftertouch, making them the most expressive Microwave sounds you're ever likely to hear. Not only that, but each preset has carefully chosen Play mode screen which shows four parameters which are perfect for further tweaking. So each sound is perfectly crafted to allow you maximum sound tweakin' potential.

Check out the demos below to hear deep textures, evolving pads, alien world, expressive poly synths, gnarly basses and a whole lot more. This soundset had been over 10 years in the making. The result is the most expressive bank of Microwave II/XT sounds ever made.
