Fatal Decision // Star Trek: The Next Generation (Auto-Destruct Synth Cover)

video upload by Amie Waters

"We've been slowly working our way through all of Star Trek, and the second time I heard this track, in the Episode "Booby Trap" I instantly knew I had to cover it, even if only 14 people recognize or care about it in the entire world. Give it a listen, its a complete trip of a track, playing with 13/8 like it's not a big deal.

This song was featured in a total of two episodes of The Next Generation and it slaps both times:
Season 2 Episode 2: Where Silence has Lease
Season 3 Episode 6: Booby Trap"

Roland Juno-6 (with Juno-66 Tubbutec mod) VCF audio rate modulation by Moog Matriarch

video upload by MIDERA

"My friends and I lamented the fact that my Juno-6 Juno-66 mod was not entirely completed, in that it does not have access to the LFO shape functions. One of my friends suggested sending the S/H OUT from the Matriarch into the VCF input in the Juno-6. So... I did, and then switched it to WAVE output and... well, this is the result of that.

The Matriarch LFO goes into audio rates and it brings the Juno-6 into new territory. Not only can I access S/H LFOs, but audio rate manipulation. I can also sync the LFO manipulation if I use the Arpeggio sync input in the back of the Juno.

At some points I do utilize the Tubbutec mod with its power arp (i.e., sequencer). Also, the voices are all slightly detuned. Enjoy the noodling.

0:00 Audio Rate modulation
1:33 Tubbutec "Power Arp"
3:00 Square wave modulation
4:25 S/H modulation
7:55 Sine wave modulation
12:25 High Resonance modulation and effects
15:56 Pad with S/H modulation
20:47 Bass arpeggio with S/H OUT to VCF and WAVE OUT to Clock in

Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb."

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

"Both graphic and parametric eq are working great on all channels. The level control on channel 3 is intermittent and signal clips almost immediately but all other channels are working great. Rear-panel I/O are all working perfectly. All controls, indicator LEDs, and the VU meter are in perfect working order. Overall working condition is very good.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent - There are a few small nicks and dings mostly on the top panel, however, every knob and switch is intact and ready for action. In all, everything is solidly built and in excellent physical condition."

3am - Stumble

"A self-playing patch featuring Serge, Lorre-Mill, Blacet/Frac and Bugbrand modular synths and ZOIA Euroburo from Empress FX. Bad lighting but some neat sounds. Probably longer than it needs to be, lol."

"A 3-stage sequence mangling the sine wave of a complex oscillator. I just love all the blinking light, visual feedback the Buchla gives me. Enjoy!"

Roland JP8000 vs Promars sawtooth comparison

video upload by DX5

"(Tech video, not a cover). Just checking if a sawtooth waveform from the virtual analog JP8000 can sound like a real analog (Promars) accurately. And it does the job pretty well. Not the same, but nearly...

Settings:
Roland Promars: 2 Sawtooth waveforms (one per VCO, analog), slightly detuned and a bit filtered. Roland JP8000: 2 Sawtooth waveforms (Digital VA, one per 'Osc'), slightly detuned in the same amount and a bit filtered.

* I was not using the 'Super Saw' function, which allows the user to put seven detuned sawtooth waveforms stacked in Osc 1, widely known as being a trance signature resource.

Despite this synth can sound a bit harsh or synthetic sometimes (in a mean of "digital", specially on lower notes depending of filtering, etc), I found out it is capable of great analogue emulations, with the add of those dedicated faders and knobs for realtime control."
