Roland JX-03 Synthesizer, The Virtual Program Expander - PE 002

Published on Mar 7, 2020 Robert Ch

"After the GP-002 for the Roland JX-03 Synthesizer I made this new Virtual Extension. The PE-002 unit: So what if your JX-03 had an external unit to store more presets. Will it look like this? 3x 32 preset that’s 96 extra (so 112 in total (16+96)). Made it just for fun.

So they don’t exist in the real world. Only virtual!

RDS-80 DIY analogue drumbox demosong - Jazz-style

Published on Mar 7, 2020 Stereoping

"Another Test-/Demosong for a #DIY #drumbox project. Bringing together a drumvoices-PCB labeled RSD-80 of a #Yamaha #D-85 and a wooden case i had left over from an unsuccessful earlier project. The RDS-80 (i know, swapped letters, to late) wants 12V DC and Midi notes on channel 8. No controls, just nice status LEDs for the -12V and +5V power lines. I've put 3 LEDs of different color beneath the metalgrid which start to flicker with the triggered sounds, shown to the beginning. After 1:30 the picture show ends, followed by the #FL-Studio arrangement grid progress. Music this time: electronic #JAZZ. Further gear: Akai MPC-1000 for some helping drums (starting 2:58) and the Roland #Integra-7 for Ride, Guitar, E-Piano, solo Trumpet and Acoustic bass."

Korg Wavestate: A Disco Patch by Marc Barnes

"Here's is my third sound design after getting this amazing machine five days ago. I decided I needed to try something more rhythmic to get my head round this concept of wave sequencing, so I gave disco a bash."

Synthberry Pi: Tutorial II - OSC Remote control

Published on Mar 7, 2020 Artis Lab

"SynthBerry Pi is the prototype of a standalone synthesizer based on the Raspberry Pi mini computer and the Pure Data development environment. The prototype is equipped with a control surface made up of eight potentiometers connected to the computer which allow to modify, in real time, the control parameters of the sound generation processes. Furthermore, by using the wireless connectivity of the mini computer, the Pure Data patches can be controlled by sending Open Sound Control (OSC) messages from devices such as tablets or smartphones.

For more information on SynthBerry Pi visit this link: https://www.artislab.it/it/synthberry...

The video shows the remote control of a Pure Data patch based on Open Sound Control messages over the wireless network. On the phone we have chosen to use an application called Control which provides graphic interfaces equipped with objects which, in response to user actions, send OSC messages through the wireless connection.

For this demo we used a Pd patch that is based on a subtractive synthesis system. The patch consists of a white noise generator and four fourth-order bandpass filters. The eight potentiometers of the control surface allow to control, for each filter, the center frequency and the quality factor (Q). The filters have been tuned to operate in different frequency regions from the lowest, the pair of potentiometers on the left, up to the highest on the right.

Two interfaces have been developed in Control to change the parameters of the Pd patch which creates the subtractive synthesis system. The first interface is something similar to a mixer, since it makes possible to separately change the volume and position of the stereo panning of each of the four filters through the use of a widget that implements a multitouch interface. The vertical dimension of the graphic object has been associated with the volume control of each filter, while the horizontal direction allows the user to control the panning between the left and right channels.

The second interface has four buttons that allow the user to choose four different settings for the range of variation of the filter frequencies. The frequency value of the four filters is controlled by the position of the corresponding potentiometer by means of a mapping process in a well-defined frequency range defined by a maximum and minimum value. Each button of the Control interface recalls a different configuration in the patch for the extreme values (maximum and minimum) of the frequency regions in which the interpolation is carried out. Furthermore, by positioning the potentiometers all up or all down, it is possible to obtain precisely the values of the filter frequencies set for the different presets."

OlllAudio-Minimoog Transistor Ladder Filter and 2 x Minimod-Vintage Transistor Core VCO-AJHSynth

Published on Mar 7, 2020 Dziam Bass

"Hello Guys!

Today I have a small demo of a great filter from OlllAudio Eurorack Modules !

This is a clone of the Minimoog Transistor Ladder Filter and it sounds really massive so for Audio source use 2 X Minimod-Vintage Transistor Core VCO from AJHSynth.

This is a famous analog filter for modular synthesizers, the scheme was created in the 70s by Robert Arthur Moog (Moog company).

This clone from OIIIAUDIO is built on transistors and using the chips of that time (!) And Stiroflex capacitors (optionally), which gives the sound a vintage charm and uniqueness (the initiates understand what it's about)."

ROLAND MC 101 as SOUND MODULE with ABLETON?

Published on Mar 7, 2020

"Quick performance with ROLAND MC 101 Groovebox with ABLETON LIVE and NOVATION LAUNCHPAD. Just a little demo to show how it can be used as an external sound module together with your favorite DAW software sequencer. You'll be able to hear some of the drums and Zen Core synth sounds that this little machine has to offer, the same as the ROLAND MC 707."
