How to set up a Yamaha EX5 for a YouTube synth jam (sound design)

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"You are in possession of a #Yamaha #EX5 and you want to create a typical YouTube synth improvisation without breaking the synth community guidelines? This video walks you through all the steps necessary from sound design to key mapping, so you'll set up your machine for filter tweaking, arpeggiating and huge reverb in no time. ;-)

00:00 intro
00:24 hello

02:49 naming and storing the sound
02:57 setting up a control matrix: filter cutoff frequency
03:50 ... filter resonance
04:18 ... amp attack time
04:40 ... decay time
04:59 ... release time
05:25 stereo panning
06:16 oscillator fine tuning
06:34 controlled tuning
06:52 setting up insert effects: amp sim
07:13 setting up realtime control for the amp
07:49 important considerations
08:12 setting up a performance (multi mode)
08:25 choosing sounds
08:47 insert effects
08:57 note ranges (keyboard split), transposing
09:20 global effect setup
10:34 recording some patterns (instead of arpeggiating)

Yamaha AN1X as Modular Synthesizer Demo Nr 2 HQ Sound no talking

video upload by js-sound

"I love it and so I make presets for it and a bunch of YouTube demos! AN1X is cool and it's not so "modern" as Montage, XF, XS (all this are Lighthouse without lights from a modern Yamaha manufacturer). I ask you not to buy anything from current Yamaha production! And only then will these devils begin to move in the right direction. They have to lose their income before they stop making decisions with their asses."

New TAP TEMPO VC-LFO 16-Wave Eurorack Module by AJH Synth

NEW! TAP TEMPO VC-LFO 16-wave voltage-controlled modulation Eurorack module with VCA, Int/Ext clock
video upload by AJH Synth Official

"The TAP TEMPO VC-LFO is a skiff-friendly, 42hp Eurorack low frequency oscillator. It's a modulation powerhouse, with 16 waveforms, 15 with 'wave form twist' PWM-like control, random sample & hold type waves, and CV control over all functions.It can serve as a clock source, or can be clocked by external pulse/gate signals, with a clock multiply/divide function, along with a built-in VCA controlling both bipolar (LFO type) and unipolar (envelope-type) outputs. It's great for everything from simple expression-controlled pitch vibrato, to clocking or being clocked by sequencers for time-synced modulation, and generative patches, where randomness and/or time control is needed to be shared between different modules.

This video is a brief introduction to the module, but following 1 hour after this upload will be a full USER GUIDE VIDEO detailing all functions, along with some example patches.

Check out the AJH Synth playlists for more module USER GUIDE videos, and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides detailing a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, and each containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself.

Every modular system needs modulation sources to add variety and interest to static sounds. The more powerful and versatile the modulator, then the more interesting these sounds can become. We compiled a wish list of useful features, starting with obvious ones such as CV control of Frequency, Tap Tempo, Unipolar and Bipolar outputs and a wide range of waveforms, and then we just kept adding more features such as waveform twist, rate multiplication, Sync In/Out and an inbuilt dual VCA for modulation level control. Then we made sure that we had voltage control (and therefore automation) available for every single feature. This takes it way beyond the realms of regular LFO's and make the Tap Tempo VC-LFO a modulation powerhouse.

Ergonomics are important too, it can really spoil the workflow if we have to stop and refer to the user manual to find out what some obscure control or jack socket does - so it follows our usual format of having a very clear, intuitive and uncluttered front panel. All of the jack sockets are in two rows at the bottom, with the inputs on the left and outputs on the right hand side.

The Tap Tempo VC-LFO is available with either a Black or Silver front panel.
