video upload by vector criterion

Featured above are some sound demos from an interview with the Analog Mafia on the RC-808 in Dommune Setouchi 2019. You can find the full hour and 45 minute interview below. The Analog Mafia are the creators of the original Roland x0x series. RC-808 is a newer project which just got an update you can find at https://rc-808.com/download. You can find additional posts featuring the RC-808 here. The first post with some history is here. They are also a supporting member of the site.

Description for the video above:

"Tadao Kikumoto, together with DJ Hisashi Saito, and galcid Lena, demonstrates how the RC-808 Re-Create the 808 software Drum Synthesizer sounds like.

Tadao is the leader of Analog Mafia who are the original R&D team who developed the MId-O Series like TR-808, TR-909, TR-606, and TB-303. The RC-808 was developed to express full respect and gratitude to all the fans of the Mid-O Series, and also to show how actually the Analog Mafia wanted the 808 to be.

Find out more details such as development episodes, secrets behind the Mid-O Series, and download the RC-808 on Re-Create the 808 website, the only resource from the true originators themselves!! https://vector808.jimdofree.com"

"Tadao Kikumoto gets interviewed from DJ Hisashi Saito, and galcid Lena, about how he and his R&D team tried to develop the legendary TR-808.

Then they delve deep into the RC-808 Re-Create the 808 drum synthesizer to actually see, hear, and experience the real original intention behind developing the TR-808.

This was originally live streamed as a part of Dommune Synthesizer Academy Part 5 on Aug 22, 2019 from below channel.

Roland JUPITER v1.50 - BIG Update Worth the Wait! New Firmware for JUPITER-X & JUPITER-Xm

video upload by Robert Saint John - JUPITER-Xpert

Robert Saint John - JUPITER-Xpert posts

"Introducing System Program 1.50 for the Roland JUPITER-X and JUPITER-Xm synthesizers! This latest firmware update includes fantastic new features created directly in response to feedback from the X/Xm user community. This will be the first of a few JUPITER-Xpert videos that I'll be posting about what's new in 1.50, so be sure to hit that SUBSCRIBE button to stay notified. This video is an overview of the latest features, and I'll soon go into more depth in future tutorials.

I'm also introducing The JUPITER-Xpert Guide, my free downloadable PDF that tells you everything you need to get started, whether you’re an experienced user or brand new to the synths - https://bit.ly/jxguide (direct link to PDF)

[ Ver.1.50 ] AUG 2021:
Additional Functions
"SINGLE SETUP" has been provided, making it possible to change to the settings for only a single part and play tones. This is useful when selecting and playing individual tones from respective models.
"Step recording" has been added for using the keyboard to input notes for individual steps in STEP EDIT.
"Real time recording" has been added for recording notes played during playback in STEP EDIT.
Functionality Improvement
The display view in the scene select mode has been improved.
When selecting parts for a scene, it is now possible to check the settings for the respective parts and to change tones.
The interface for operating STEP EDIT has been improved to make it more intuitive.
Bug Fixes
The following bugs were fixed.
Minor bugs have been fixed.

Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Basic Phase Distortion Analysis

videos upload by Graham Keane

Update: new videos added.

"This simple program will serve as the basis for implementing the Vector Phaseshaping technique as outlined by Lazzarini, Timoney et al."

Playlist demos:

1. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Basic Phase Distortion Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the classic phase distortion technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique produces a non-linear phase distortion of a basic cosine waveform.

2. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Filtered Phase Distortion Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the filtered phase distortion program implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique produces a non-linear phase distortion of a basic cosine waveform which has pitch-tracked filters to tackle some of the aliasing.

3. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Basic Vector Phaseshaping (VPS) Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the basic Vector Phaseshaping technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique uses a 2D inflection point to modulate the phase of a cosine waveform.

4. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Interpolated VPS Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the interpolated Vector Phaseshaping (VPSI) technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique utilises pitch-tracked filters to combat aliasing as well as linear interpolation to reduce the effects of abrupt jumps in the phase due to skipped intervals in the inflection point's range.

5. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Formant Synthesis with VPS - Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of Formant Synthesis in the Vector Phaseshaping technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique uses a 2D inflection point to modulate the phase of a cosine waveform which generates formant peaks over certain ranges.

6. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Formant Synthesis via VPS with Interpolation Gain - Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the Formant Synthesis through Vector Phaseshaping technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This particular version uses an interpolation gain to scale two separate VPS signals which are then linearly mixed to produce the main signal. The final signal is processed with pitch-tracked filters and an additional linear interpolation process to reduce the impact of gaps in the inflection points path which give rise to abrupt phase shifts.

7. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: VPS with Multiple Inflection Points (MVPS) - Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the Vector Phaseshaping technique with Multiple Inflection Points implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer.

8. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: VPS with Lissajous Modulation - Analysis

In this short video we will demonstrate the output of the Vector Phaseshaping technique with Lissajous Modulation implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer.

9. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Multi-Vector Phaseshaping Synthesis (MVPS) Analysis

In this short video we will demonstrate the output of the Multi-Vector Phaseshaping Synthesis technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique uses a 3-2D inflection points to modulate the phase of a cosine waveform, which can produce interesting shapes as a result.

1980's Moog Source SN 4301

"The Moog Source is a monophonic Z80 microprocessor-controlled analog synthesizer manufactured from 1981 to 1985.

The Source was Moog's first synthesizer to offer patch memory storage. The design was also the first (and only) Moog synthesizer to feature a flat-panel membrane keyboard to replace the standard buttons, knobs and sliders, along with multihued panel graphics that were very different from anything Moog offered at the time.

Arguably the closest sounding to the Minimoog than any other Moog from this era. All functions tested in great working order, membrane buttons operate as expected with smooth operation."

via this auction

"Technically perfect and with some improvements:
- Toroidal Transformer - No Humming or Bizzing
- New Key Bushings - No Clonks or Clacks when playing
- Useful Mods like Filter CV In or Sequencer Sync (I used to Sync the Sequencer with a DAW via an ordinary Arturia Keystep CV Out - works perfectly) professionally performed on the intended mini jacks on the back side
- recently professionally serviced
- sound like it should be: awesome
- inclusive Lid
- early SN - only around 500 where made

Cosmetically nearly perfect only the hinges from the case are a little but rusty."
