The VP 330 Human-Voice-Filter-Clone Test


Published on Jan 15, 2020 Andreas Remshagen

"I build a Prototype from this Filter using the Circuit in the Link below.
This 7 Filters were built in the famous Roland VP-330 and gave him the
Vintage choir-sounds. Here i used the Filters to test each one
with its own Potentiometer. I didn‘t use the HV-330 compander from Jurgen Haible
that is shown in the right part of the Circuit.
The right combination of each Filter makes the characteristic voice-sound
The Sound-Source ist the Strings-Synth i have shown in a video before.
It feeds the Filters with 12 Sawtooth-Oscillators

Ednorphin.es Airstreamer


Published on Jan 15, 2020 Ricky Tinez

"The Airstreamer eurorack envelope generator by Endorphin.es is one of the most flexible EGs i've tested! Being able to cycle the envelope and turn it into an oscillator with a 1v/oct input is so cool. Digitally generated at a very high sample rate you'll never run into any aliasing"

Side note: the Airstreamer was first featured in this post from May, 2019.


fast and effective 6hp envelope generator with variable slope curves and three modes: looping, attack-sustain-release (ASR) and attack-decay (AD)

320 kHz samplerate, zero aliasing CV generation

1v/oct input, bipolar and unipolar outputs, selectable end of cycle outputs

thru-zero VCA input that inverts the envelope when CV goes to negative voltages

Roland Unveils ZEN - Core Synthesis System

Roland Fantom - "Hyperwave" song with new Zen-Core Tones!

Published on Jan 15, 2020 gattobus

"A new song, composed and performed on the new Roland Fantom Synthesizer. Recorded via USB, digital multitrack audio outs in Ableton Live 10.

Every sound you hear comes from the internal Zen-Core Engine. (Compatible with Fantom - JupiterX/Xm).

You can download this Tones for free here, following this link:

And Roland's press release:

A new synth engine embodying nearly 50 years of experience

Anaheim, CA, January 15, 2020 — Roland (NAMM Hall A, Booth #10702), announces the ZEN-Core Synthesis System, a powerful new engine found at the heart of the company’s latest (and future) electronic instruments. With ZEN-Core, Roland applies the wisdom gained from nearly 50 years of making world-leading analog, digital, and hybrid synthesizers to create an adaptable new platform that both embraces the legendary and looks to what’s next.

Through ZEN-Core, Roland assures a consistent level of sonic quality and expression regardless of instrument. With the confidence of access to the same, growing library of compatible sounds that they can share and exchange, musicians and producers can focus on choosing hardware with features that best suit their application, playing style and workflow, from performance and production synthesizers to GROOVEBOXES, stage pianos, and more.

With the forthcoming system updates, owners of FANTOM 6/7/8 Synthesizers (Version 1.50*), JUPITER-X Series Synthesizers (Version 1.10) and RD-88 Stage Pianos will be able to start using the same compatible sounds across all models, adding a new collaborative capability to their instruments. An update for the MC-101 and MC-707 GROOVEBOXES will also be available in Q2 2020, with an update planned for AX-EDGE later this year.

ZEN-Core base engine tones created on one instrument can be shared with other users or transferred into completely different compatible Roland hardware. Performers can take sounds made on a FANTOM and play them in the spotlight on an AX-Edge Keytar, or perform a JUPITER-X synth patch on an RD-88, dramatically simplifying setup and expanding tonal options. Sounds are easily shared with a bandmate or co-creator, even when using different compatible Roland hardware. With ZEN-Core, users have access to the sounds they want, in the format they want, wherever they produce or perform.
 
The Roland ZEN-Core multi-timbral engine combines the latest Virtual Analog and PCM (up to 256 voices) synthesis techniques with powerful DSP effects. Advanced synthesis features include new VA oscillators, precisely modeled filters, ultra-fast and smooth LFO and envelope modulators, and high-resolution control of primary editing and performance parameters. Sounds created for the base engine will be compatible across all ZEN-Core instruments, opening-up a world of opportunities for creators and sound designers alike.
 
ZEN-Core supports instrument-specific ZEN-Core Expansions including Analog Behavior Modeling for the JUPITER-X series and V-Piano for the new FANTOM Series. Further ZEN-Core expansions will soon arrive for other instruments in the Roland ZEN-Core family.

*Beta version as of today. Official release is planned in late January 2020.
