"Named the 'Synthesizer of the Year' at the 2004 MIPA Awards, Roland’s groundbreaking V-Synth now has a travel-friendly offspring. The XT is a portable new V-Synth with some spectacular tricks up its sleeves — and with enough synthesis and audio-processing power to make heads spin. It’s fully stocked with a potent array of synthesis types, including the V-Synth’s famous Elastic Audio Synthesis engine, plus analog-synth modeling, vocal modeling, and classic D-50 emulation. Add to that a rich lineup of COSM effects, external audio processing, a touch-sensitive color display, eight universal edit knobs, and you have an instrument that redefines rack/tabletop technology."

"A demo of programmed and modified sounds from the Roland V Synth & V Synth XT. Mainly pads and effects that hopefully demonstrate how unique this instrument is.
"Overview of my new logic processor module, BOOL-OPS! It has many extremely
useful features and can do a number of great operations in your Eurorack system.
Check it out in my reverb dot com store!"
BOOL-OPS is a module with four sections that perform BOOLean OPerationS. Each section has two inputs and one output. The input expect a rectangular signal - e.g. gate from a keyboard, logic signal, squarewave LFO - but will work with any sort of signals, CV and audio included. When the input is more than 3 volts, it's treated as logic 1, and is logic 0 otherwise. A logic 1 is normalised to the second input of every section. The output of the module is always a logic signal - either 0 or slightly less than 12v: intended for triggering drums, clocking sequencers, gating envelopes, but no one is stopping you to ping a filter with it, or put it directly to the line out.
Top two sections perform an AND operation of the two inputs. If both inputs are logic 1, the output will be logic 1, too. It will be logic 0 otherwise. A logic 1 is normalised into the second input of the AND gate, making it useful as a gate amplifier (3.3v or 5v to 12v), preset threshold comparator, triangle to pulse converter, and so on. When used with two signals, it has immense gate sequencing capabilities - the output only fires when both inputs are high, which makes it a VC gate switch, an 'only happens when both input events happened' event, and many more things that it can be. Another great idea is to put white noise or a fluctuating voltage to the first AND input through a VCA or an attenuator: since the second input is 1 by default, and all the inputs have comparators, tuning the amount of noise/flux into the input will change the density of random triggers at the output!
The two bottom sections perform a XOR operation of the two inputs. The output turns logic 1 if the two inputs are different: one is low and the other is high, or vice versa. If both inputs are 1 or both are 0, the output is 0. Since a logic 1 is always normalised to the second input, putting a gate to the first one will produce its inverted copy at the output, making this section useful as a gate and clock inverter. Now put another signal to the second input, and you'll get an inverted copy of the first input when the second one is high, and a normal copy if it's low! This has many applications - creating offbeats, making complex patterns on the fly out of simple gate or clock sources, and such. The XOR function is also exceptionally great-sounding with audio-rate waves and has a slight 'digital ring modulator' taste to it, so using it as an additional voice to 2 VCOs is also a great idea.
The ultimate logic processor with many functions, among which are AND and XOR logic operation, inversion, gate amplification, triangle/sawtooth to pulse conversion, wicked sound transformations and random gate extraction, BOOL-OPS is available in a 6HP anodized aluminum plate, and comes with a power ribbon cable and two M3 screws to install it to your Eurorack system.
"Iconic, renowned, and arguably one of the sweetest sounding and most powerful analog synthesizers, PX Memories takes a deep-dive into the Lintronics LAMM. Based on the last and most ambitious of its makes polyphonic synths before going bankrupt in 1987, its development seems to have been incomplete, with a reputation for unstable tuning and difficult system navigation, and a subsequent Plus model with only basic MIDI implementation.
Taking this beast the final mile and making it the rock-solid road-worthy dream machine it was intended to be is Rudi Lindhard's Lintronics, a synthesizer repair and mod shop based in Germany, who developed this comprehensive system modification over 6 years. Those lucky enough to come by a LAMM will find the iconic six-voice sound to be stable, more easily editable, with improved IO, an enhanced stereo output, a world-class MIDI implementation making most all of the front panel controls transmit and be responsive to control change messages, and much more.
The ultimate version of an incredible and exceedingly rare instrument, we're both honored and excited to be able to present you with the iconic and inspirational sounds of the LAMM.
Starting with a pristine, fully-serviced LAMM, our sound design team created a huge range of custom sounds covering everything from classic to modern genres, creative arps, effects, modulating soundscapes and more, providing a huge range of inspirational sounds.
Every patch we designed for PX Memories was extensively multisampled in normal, factory unison, and the special LAMM stereo unison modes letting you seamlessly switch between real hardware samples, and subsequently allowing you to play unison modes polyphonically which is impossible on the hardware unit.
Another massive creative advantage of PX Memories is the ability to load two programs at once, with full expressive control over each. Each program in PX Memories functions as its own layer, essentially giving you another entire LAMM that can be layered, filtered, animated, and arpeggiated together (or discretely) to create truly massive analog sounds. As well, unison settings are per-program, so combined you can essentially have up to 36 authentic hardware analog voices sounding per note.
In the end we recorded over 38,980 samples, packing PX Memories with a whopping 353 presets made from 171 programs, and divided into 16 categories, including basics, animated arps, animated steps, bass, bells, brass, chords, FX, keys, leads, organ, pads, pluck, polysynth, strings and more. Every patch in PX Memories is fully-customizable allowing you to use them straight-away or as starting points for your own sound design.
PX Memories presents you with a full suite of controls to tweak and augment its sound to fit your particular use, including per-program multimode filter, amp and filter envelopes, pitch and stereo controls, handy modwheel assignments, step and lfo modulators, versatile arpeggiators, and a master effect section with 3-band EQ, drive, Thorus, ensemble, Phasor, delay and Sparkverb.
The LAMM is a rare and iconic instrument with a timeless analog sound, inspiring, versatile, effortlessly delivering thundering bass, rich leads, and massive pads; perfect your analog dreams with PX Memories."
