Moog Subsequent 25 2-Note Paraphonic Synthesizer


Published on Jan 24, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"Moog's Subsequent 25 takes the form factor of the Sub Phatty and updates it with the sonic flavor of the Subsequent 37. Now with a high-headroom mixer, improved drive, and optional paraphonic operation, the Subsequent 25 covers far more ground than its predecessor.

The Subsequent 25 is great for monstrous bass lines and leads, with all the sonic depth and range one would expect from a Moog monosynth. Optional two-note paraphonic operation breaks it out of these roles and into entirely new territory—combined with the integrated Multidrive, Ladder Filter, and rich internal modulation, the Subsequent 25 can create a huge range of sounds. Coupled with its small footprint and ease of DAW integration, this makes the Subsequent 25 a perfect addition to nearly any performance or production environment.

Roland System 700 | Axiom


Published on Jan 24, 2020 Alex Ball

New overview video posted here.

"The System 700 from 1976 was the most expensive instrument Roland ever made. A comprehensive, semi-modular monster that was at the cutting edge at the time, the full system cost the equivalent of around £35,000 - £45,000 (around $45,000 - $50,000) and as they made so few of them; they have been known to sell for even more than that on the rare occasions that they emerge on the second hand market.

Huge thanks to the owner of this remarkable instrument for the very generous loan.

We have the main console and two of the “blocks” present but the full system has two further wing cabinets containing six additional VCOs, two further filters, three further VCAs, six further envelopes, another LFO, S/H, mixer and two further multiple jacks. In addition it has a twelve stage, three-channel sequencer that also acts as a switching mixer.

With the three blocks I borrowed I do have all of the modules present with the exception of the gate delay and I can use alternative sequencers in place of the original, so I feel this is a full representation of this marvelous instrument and what it can do.

Grendel RA-99 Grenadier – Official synth demo


Published on Jan 24, 2020 EA78751

"The Grendel RA-99 Grenadier is new for 2020 and continues boldly into the sound territory of the original RA-9 from 2015. This is an original and excellent all-analog synthesizer from Rare Waves that implements parallel formant synthesis with a triple-VCF filter bank (1x LPF, 2x BPF). Voice-like vowel tones, stabby and juicy alien acid sounds, eerie drone incantations, filtered noise percussion, dark electro basslines, pitched Miami bass drums, wispy analog leads and more are at the producer’s fingertips. This synth uses CV-Gate control and gives you multiple v/oct inputs to creatively stack the CV sources from your sequencers to elevate its melodic potential. The accurate single VCO has voltage-controlled wave shape, a sub-octave square wave, and a pink noise source for furry warmth. RA-99 also features a pair of multi-function modulation sources that change from envelope generator to LFO by pushing a button. As envelopes, they can be either Decay or Attack-Release, with precise exponential curves. As LFOs, they have variable symmetry for triangle-sawtooth shapes, also pulse wave and clock outputs. LFO rate and envelope time can be voltage controlled. A pushbutton lets you assign either modulator to the main volume VCA. Both of RA-99’s modulators include bipolar attenuators to add animation to the filter bank, plus patchable modulation outputs to drive the synth’s other parameters. Its assembled in the USA by Rare Waves LLC (Texas). Grendel RA-99 Grenadier is designed and supported by Eric Archer."

"Here are my Top 5 favourite Synthesizer Apps from 2019! And one of my top picks will probably surprise recurrent haQ attaQ viewers. Maybe I missed a few, but to me it seems like there were way less new synth apps released compared in 2019 to previous years. But hey, Im not complaining because I had an easier time doing my selection for this list. Check it out!"

#jamuary2020 - Digitone, PEAK, Reface CP, EX5, ARQ-96


Published on Jan 24, 2020 Floyd Steinberg


"Here's my entry for #jamuary2020. Thanks to Anthony Coates for co-writing and proofreading the lyrics on this one! :-) Digitone is sequencing the PEAK, CP and the EX5 and playing all of it's 4 FM tracks here.
I wanted to record the whole thing in one take, but found I needed to add some more drums (ARQ96) and piano (EX5) and a second vocal track / take after listening to the result."

"Hey, guys! Come along with me on my first trip to the NAMM show... also my first vlog! 😊 I have wanted to attend a NAMM show for quite some time now, but never really had the chance to. So this Overall, the event was truly an awesome experience. It was definitely a bit overwhelming at times, with just so much to see and do: Checking out booths, demos and exhibits; running into recognizable faces; live music and performances, etc, etc. 😀

As I mentioned earlier, this was my first attempt at a vlog style video. With time and practice, I hope I will get better at it. 🤔 lol Anyways, thank you all for watching. I really appreciate it. 👊🙂"
