Run test of brand new MOS-LAB ARP 2500 clone modules

video upload by yusynthman

"A bit of fun with my newly assembled ARP2500 base on the excellent MOS-LAB clone modules of the legendary ARP2500. I build a cabinet to host these and this my first fun patch. Sound is from the camera microphone though but it gives a fair idea. The modular is on its own , no additional synth or drums. The only FX I used was an echo-delay."

Prophet X Modular Sample Set 1 #shorts

video upload by O.Z. Hall

"This is my first attempt "sample the modular" for the Prophet X hybrid sampler/synth.
Here are the steps I took:
1) assemble my samples in the 8DIO "CompilerUtility"
(aka the sample mapping tool)
I can play the samples within the tool
2) export to create a directory structure:
u00\02 Bass\02.NameOfSampleSet.zip
3) format a USB 3.0 16GB USB drive
4) create a folder "px"
5) copy the u00 directory (step 2) above into the "px" folder (step 4)
6) eject USB and insert into Prophet X
7) Import the user samples as follows
Press the "Global" button and work from the Screen/buttons/knobs interface:
34. Update Library
select Library = "User" (rotate knob 3 two clicks)
click button 1 "Update Now"
click button 3 "Overwrite" (or abort with button 1 "Back")
wait for "success" message
Here's a cool tutorial which shows these steps in detail starting about 1:00 [posted here]
8) You can now accessing the sample set in you custom programs"

School Rhythmer - peg/matrix 'programmable' drum machine

video upload by wildchurch

"This is my take on the (very rare) Kawai School Rhythmer...an educational rhythm machine from the 1960s.

Rhythms are programmed by inserting pegs into a matrix sequencer - thereby offering a highly visual indication of how a rhythm is formed.
Presumably, it helped children like myself to feel the 'magic of beats'...

I've never actually seen or heard a fully functioning original, so aside from the aesthetics being different, I've used some guess work to replicate the percussion sounds, as well as the functioning of the 'Hyōshigi' trigger - for my build, this works as a 'fill' switch when a pegs are inserted in the matrix. With no pegs inserted, this triggers the Hyōshigi voice alone.

Additional features include a clock divider (1/2 & 1/4 time), clock in/out and a gate out for sync'ng with external devices.

The original sports five percussion sounds:
- Triangle
- Hyōshigi ('Japanese woodblocks')
- Cymbal
- Small Taiko
- Big Taiko

There are two additional voices which can be selected via switching on the circuit board:
- Hyoshigi can be switched to HiHat
- Small Taiko can be switched to Snare

For my build, the drum sounds are based on the circuitry of a 1970s DIY drum machine kit produced by the Japanese company, Elekit. The schematics for which have been updated and reproduced by Gadget Factory, to whom I am most grateful for making them available:
http://park19.wakwak.com/~gadget_fact...

The remaining circuitry is built around 4017 chips and a 555 timer for the internal clock. The peg matrix involves microswitches, such that, when a peg is inserted, the signal passes through, triggering a drum sound on that particular step.

There are easier, groovier ways of generating rhythms - this is as much a 'sculpture' as a musical device..."

Trentemøller - Miss You

video upload by prinztronix

"This is my cover of Miss You by Trentemøller from his debut album The Last Resort from 2006.
The main loop is played by a Music Box. Because of its limited selection of notes, I have transposed it up from G minor to A minor."

Kawai K1 II Synthesizer - Part 5 - K1 II vs. Nil's K1v

video upload by Runningonair

"In this video I look at the differences between the recent Nil's K1v emulation and the original Kawai K1 II.

The K1v can be downloaded at:
https://www.nilsschneider.de/wp/nils-...

Also, the video title track is created using just sounds from the K1 II (and a bit of production), giving you some idea of what can be achieved with this synth alone.
