Model:Cycles is a six-track groovebox with a sound based entirely on FM synthesis. And while FM is a notoriously complex synthesis technique, Model:Cycles cleverly turns it into something simultaneously intuitive and flexible."

In memory of Dave Smith / THANK YOU for the PROPHET-5 / One of the greatest synths of all time!

"Sad to hear the news of the loss of the great synth pioneer, Dave Smith. As a tribute, I wanted to record a short improvisation featuring his amazing creation - The Prophet-5! Such a beautiful instrument. Here are both the REV3 and REV4 together.

REV3 is going through the TC Electronic FlashbackX4
REV4 is using the Roland RE-301 Chorus Echo (sequence is provided by Five12 Numerology Software)

RIP Dave Smith"

For Dave

"Broken hearted today.

I didn't know what else to do to honor Dave Smith than make a tune using just the Prophet this afternoon. All synth sounds are the Prophet 5 Rev 4.

He was an absolute legend and will be missed."

"Dave Smith is referred to as the 'Father of MIDI'. Of course many of you already knew him as the founder of Sequential circuits and maker of the Prophet 5 synth.

NAMM 2022 - NINA Motorized Polysynth

video upload by sonicstate

"You've maybe seen the the teases on the Tonelab.tv Instagram feeds, but this new machine is a 1st as far as we know. Its a 12 voice poly synth with motorized knobs that actually move when changing patches and also when morphing.

Features:

12 Voice Polyphony.
Motorized recallable and automatable control panel using long lasting zero wear encoders with the feel and precision of analog pots.
Variable shape triangle oscillators. Continuously morph wave-shape between triangle and sawtooth to find new timbres. Different to a traditional blend.
4 pole transistor ladder VCF with modulatable resonance.
Massive voice-level filter overdrive.
Digital Wavetable Oscillators.
Sampling capability.
Deep Modulation Matrix. Quick edit, all sources to all destination.
Patch morphing for complex expressive effects.
Stereo Infinite Panning effects with 4 Quadrant DCAs.
Onboard digital effects.
Multitimbral, layered, split, or overlapping.
Hackable open-source software control powered by Raspberry Pi 4.

It looks like Melbourne Instruments is the brand.

Yamaha DX9 from 1983 - The crippled twin brother of the DX7

video upload by Espen Kraft

"The DX9 is in many ways a crippled DX7. Some say it's the worst DX ever made. Some say it's a very charming and good sounding DX synthesizer. Use its strengths to the full potential and you'll soon have some very nice sounds on your hands.

I use a Rockman stereo chorus from 1989 in this video. This is an analog chorus and it sounds very flattering on the DX9. I use a foot switch connected to the chorus to turn the chorus on and off when needed.
Reverb is from the Valhalla plugin.

Be aware that the 4-operator DX9 isn't compatible with the later DX models from Yamaha in terms of patches- The DX9 shares its save-format with the DX7 as it uses the same envelope stages and scaling, where the later DX models do not. Later patches can be converted, but they will not sound the same on the DX9.
The DX7 and DX9 uses the same DAC and as such have the same crunchy 12-bit output stage.

The DX9 has no slot for any cartridge, there's only 20 preset memory slots and the keyboard has neither velocity nor after touch capabilities.

Another interesting fact is the function key#6, which is "empty" on the chassis front plate typing. That's were the MIDI functions are hidden, so the fact that this is nowhere written on the front just shows how late Yamaha was to implement MIDI onto the DX9. Admittedly MIDI had just been born and no one knew how it would go and so many manufacturers were reluctant to put it into their synths in 1983-1984."
