Vintage Jen SX1000 synthesizer clean up and demo

video by Ian Dixon

"After cleaning up old computers I thought I would get my old synthesizer out of the loft and give it a bit of love. The Jen SX1000 is an Italian monosyth manufactured around 1978 which I paid £40 sometime in the late 80s just before analogue became in vouge again. It has a single oscillator, no memories and no midi but is sounds great and the simple layout makes it easy to understand and a great way of leaning subtractive synthesis.
I had not used the synth for some time and while it worked, the controls (potentiometer) crackled when turning them and some controls like the LFO speed didn’t work at all. So armed with a can of Servisol Super 10 contact cleaner I cleaned the potentiometers which after a bit of persistence cleaned nicely.

The controls are nice and clean and there is no noise or crackles when turning them, the LFO works correctly and everything on the synth is working well. I still have a broken top C key which is missing a spring which I am still trying to track down but after a good clean the machine looks and sounds great.
In this video go through the restoration process and then give a quick demo of the sound of the Jen SX1000."

5 Ways to Use Beads From Mutable Instruments

video by Reverb

"Mutable Instruments' Beads is a granular texture synthesizer and a successor to the company's ever-popular Clouds Eurorack module. What's that mean in practice? Beads is an audio playground, letting you sample and transform audio in real time in endlessly creative ways. Fess Grandiose is here to show just five of the approaches he likes to take with the instrument: using Beads as a delay, reverb, and pitch-shifting effect; using it to repeat or splice beats; and using it as an oscillator.

nLab Synthesis KOSMO for Reaktor

video by nLab Synthesis

"Kosmo is a 3-track based experimental groovebox and sound generator for Reaktor 6.4. Taking inspiration from the so-called 'West Coast' synthesis and old soviet synthesizers aesthectic, Kosmo employs and simplifies some of their most important features to build a 3-track experimental groove-box and sound generator combining a distinctive and raw sound with a user-friendly interface offering many creative capabilities. To research and explore your sound, you can move through folded triangle oscillators, low pass gates, cycling envelopes, random sequencer, chaotic LFOs, XY pad and a set of effects. In few steps, you can make a chaotic and distorted percussion pattern as well as an evolving and dreamy soundscape.

*Only for the full version of Reaktor 6.4 and later.
