Exploring Elmyra - a DIY drone synthesizer

Published on Mar 22, 2020 nyppy

"A walkthrough of Elmyra's features. You can easily build this synth yourself, see here: https://neutral-labs.com/elmyra/

If you're interested in a panel + PCB set or a build, let me know.

This is obviously inspired by the Soma Lyra-8, which I love, but it's not a clone at all.

Reverb provided by Eventide Space. In parts of the video you can hear the raw Elmyra output (as indicated by captions).

Korg ARP 2600FS Goes Surface Mount

Compare the pics of the inside to an original ARP 2600 here.

This one is in via effegee:

"Patrick Jöricke (AKA DSLman) opened up his new Korg ARP 2600 FS to see what’s inside and its featured in an article on Amazona.de

It’s answers the question, “Are the circuit components thru-hole (like the original) or surface-mount?” The answer, with photographic proof, is: surface-mount.

Patrick, who is the leading authority on building and modding the TTSH (he’s built 60 of them and repaired 20), says in the comments below the article that the Korg 2600 is worth the 4000€ asking price, considering all of the labor and assembly.

Here are his comments, German—> English in google translate:

If you first consider the following points:
material costs
Labor costs
Prototyping costs / development
Profit
Taxes
transport
Risk premium
Aftersales / support / manuals / firmware etc.

Then you take into account the two hand-made housings in terms of wages and materials, which you can't get really cheap even on CNC wood milling machines, not even in Asia.
The pcbs cost almost nothing, nor do the SMT components. (Approx. 100 € for everything)
It only gets “expensive” with the sockets and sliders.
The panel does not cost the world either (20-50 €).
What takes several hours is putting it together.
The roadcase probably costs another 100 € (presumably through external)
All in all, that fits with € 4,000.
We also want them to benefit and are willing to continue building more of them.

LifeFormModular 1.1

Published on Mar 22, 2020 Time_Controlled_Organism

"LifeFormModular Update 1.1

New :

-Driftgen : CV Utility
Will make your signal subtly drift. Useful to detune oscillators for example.
Made by using a sample and hold against noise, slewing the result and adding it to the original signal by small amount.
You can vary the rate of the sample and hold, which will inversely act on the slew time. You can also vary the amount of "shaking"signal to be added to the source via the depth knob.
works only when input is connected!

-ComplexOsc :
Made with two sine oscillators with phase distorsion (in two dimensions, x and y mod.).
You can FM the carrier by the modulator. You can mix the two oscs.
At the end of the chain there's a clipper that will turn the signal into a square.
You can send independant CVs for carrier and modulator
There are outputs for the indivual oscs, try self patching for wild sounds.

Just sent the source, should be available soon in plugin manager , hoping everything works, thanks!"

Stick Shift - OutRun Synthwave Italo Disco Stuff - Yamaha Cs2x Only

Published on Mar 22, 2020 ChrisLody

"In the spirit of trying something different, here's a genre I've never tried before, Outrun. I mean I've made Synthwave before but not this specific sub genre. Had a blast actaully!

My chosen weapon for this task is the pretty underrated Yamaha Cs2x. It was made entirely using this keyboard with no other external effects other than a bit of eq and a bit of lazy mastering, ie turning it up a bit.

The first track is a preset I built for the occasion containing drums and the chugging bass line running on 4 separate bits of midi and 4 different layers on the Cs2x. This runs through it's built in compressor. The other layers were recorded by hand and are just presets with a little tweaking. That's it."
