Oberheim OB-X8 Magic Pads and more - no FX

video upload by synthlegends

"Here are some of my programmed Pad and String sounds with some crazy LFO, Portamento in wide stereo mostly used of SEM Filter without any FX and processing. All sounds are recorded in stereo live without any overdubbing directly into the audio interface. As you can see, I was fiddling a bit with some Page 2 functions, like stereo settings, filter, LFO and portamento tricks. Thanks for watching. Some additional videos will occur on this channel with the OB-X8. Have fun and make some music!"

Get Jervis - Synths at Bedtime- Dreadbox Nymphes

video upload by GetJervis

"Synths at bedtime is back! Today we’re pairing the mighty Dreadbox Nymphes with the only possible text imaginable, a passage from Homer’s Odyssey!

Introduced, at first in ancient Greek, translated by Rex, with attention not only to the words but also to the inflections of each sentence.

Unlike its predecessors, the vibe of the Nymphes led me to a much more rhythmic accompaniment than in previous episodes..

I hope you enjoy!"

The Oberheim OB-X8 in for Sonic LAB review

video upload by sonicstate

"The Oberheim OBX-8 is in the building. Arrived in a monolithic black Gator flight case, ready for action. We'll be reviewing this in due course, so we thought we'd post a quick look and encourage you to leave any questions you might have for us to answer in the full review, or in the exclusive Patreon extra video we will also be posting. http://Patreon.com/sonicstate

The OBX-8 is a lovely story, the whole Tom Oberheim getting his name back and the project really coming together under the drive from former Oberheim employee Marcus Ryle (he invented ADAT, founded Line 6 too).

And now here it is, the 8 voice analog polysynth from yesteryear, together with some new features, but very true to the original."

Knobcon 22: Buchla Music Easel - Nearly Ready!

video upload by sonicstate

"The new Buchla Easel has taken a while to come to fruition but its now in production and will be available to purchase real soon, says Marc Doty.

Extra functions have been added while keeping with the Buchla tradition. The case is now more suitcase shaped, but includes the Music Box Input Output module and made it more accessible. They added mixer, slew generator, voltage control, CV and gate and USB connections too.

We also looked at the Program Manager which allows for some recall of presets with a screen for preset names.

The 218 keyboard is also updated, better grounding, clean power for better control, a new strip with CV output for additional control, pulse output, reset button to set the capacitance.

All in all its a more powerful instrument, without a significant change in price.

Release date and price TBC. (around $4k)"

Now PWM is officially launched in the US with distributors and are currently on the water, and will be in the stores in a week or so.

Malevolent is a two oscillator analog synth with some heavy drive circuitry made in conjunction with Finlay Shakespeare of Future Sound Systems, using a Sallen-Key filter.

Knobcon 22: modbap Modular Trinity Drum Voices

video upload by sonicstate

"Modbap Modular recently introduced Trinity, the 4th module of its expanding Eurorack product lineup.

Its a three-channel DIGITAL DRUM SYNTH ARRAY, effectively performing as three drum voices in a 20HP module with a tip of the proverbial (electronic hi-) hat to the typical (kick, snare, and hi-hat) core elements of any modern beat-driven composition.

Corry spoke to Jim about the new module.

Pricing and Availability:
Expected to ship in mid-October 2022, Trinity is available to preorder at an MSRP of $549.00 USD via San Clemente, CA, USA-based distributor Electro Distro's growing global network of dealers or directly via its dedicated webpage (below).

Knobcon 22: Isla Instruments SP2400 Updates and Plans

video upload by sonicstate

"Isla Instruments SP2400 is a loving tribute to the original SP1200 - considered by many to be the finest drum machine ever made.

The SP2400 is a sample based drum machine and sample player with many specific features designed to make the groove work.

Jim talks to Brad Holland about the updates: double the voices for starters from 8 to 16 stereo and 8 stereo live loops. There are also plans to introduce more hardware enhancements such as a DSP card for internal FX, plus more analog filter processing."
