DF Audio MINIBAY - A desktop audio patchbay

video upload by Espen Kraft

"If you're a desktop artist looking for a way of hooking up your mixer, effects, synths and modules for fast and flexible turnaround you should check out this desktop audio patchbay called the MINIBAY.

Check out the MINIBAY here: https://www.dfaudio.com.au/

In the case of normalling/half-normalling as I mention in the video, I'd like to clarify that the DIP-switches makes it possible to individually normal the connections between the patch points in row A and row B. Half-normalling is not possible.

MINIBAY is a compact 40-point audio patch bay, designed to integrate neatly into a studio desktop space. It utilises 1/4” stereo sockets to connect with external gear and 1/8” mono (Eurorack) sockets for routing signals. There are also two built-in passive mixers with dedicated patch-points located on the main panel.

Dimensions: 234 mm x 140 mm x 40 mm (not including sockets and feet)

Intuitive
While the ins and outs can be configured to suit your needs, the general idea is to have instruments on Row A, mixer channels on Row B, and effects hooked into the FX rows.

Reach up to the effects; reach down to the mixer.

Convenient
MINIBAY can be neatly positioned next to a mixer (or just about anywhere) for quick and easy access and reference while working.

Patch-points are spaced to allow for comfortable grip and leverage when handling cables (even for fat fingers :)

Rows A and B
For Rows A and B, each 1/4" socket on the back panel is wired to two adjacent 1/8" sockets on the main panel. 20220503_105113.jpg

FX Rows
Each 1/4" FX socket on the back panel is wired to the two corresponding 1/8" FX sockets on the main panel. One insert cable can therefore be used to connect to the input and output on an effects unit (or two cables for a stereo unit).

Oberheim OB-X8 - My Presets - No FX

video upload by synthlegends

"Here you can hear my personal programmed custoo presets (maybe I also will share them by interest). You can listen to some punchy basses, drones, leads, e-piano sounds, strings, evelving pads, brass and keys. Many classic sounds to listen, but thanks to adding triangle waves, mixing of wavesforms, the complete SEM Filter Sections including also the great bandpass and notch filter, I created also some other stuff.

As my most videos, I didn’t use any processing, although I was thinking of using a great reverb or delay pedal from GFI (just for fun). But I think for you to listen to the pure sound oft he OB-X8 it’s better to listen pure, dry and raw directly into the audio interface. I used commonly stereo in spread modus full. So it is brooooaaaad and fat ☺.

I really love this synth extremely much. It is a pitty that it has to leave my studio again - but maybe some time ...


Have fun to listen this video and thanks for watching. Make some music!"

DSI Prophet 12 | The Xophen Soundbank, a bank of 99 patches including pads, leads, brass, FM bells

video upload by MIDERA

"Included is a series of patches I have made since July 2021. I recorded everything here within one run, so you will hear whatever mistakes I make as I go through all of the patches to give you a feel for how they all sound. There is no reverb on these sounds (as much as I would have preferred how they sounded). Anything you hear will sound the same on my unit as it does on yours. Small amount of master limiting was used.

A few notes though - you are advised to turn your Master Volume up. This is because there is a strange behavior on the Prophet 12 where if you lower the Master Volume, you may hear very strange differences in panning of voices, hence, my Master Volume is at Maximum and my VCA values are much lower to compensate. This has worked well for me. I actually had sent my unit in for diagnostics for fear that something was wrong. Sequential informed me that this was normal behavior.

Minimoog Special Edition serial number 01 of last batch of 25 built by Moog Music.

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"Testing and making sounds on the Special Edition serial number 01 of the final 25 minimoogs made by Moog Music which belonged to the late, great and much missed Jon Lord of Deep Purple. This one has the later more stable oscillators and has a scalable CV out jack which adds mod wheel CV to the pitch CV so you can play another synth from the minimoog."
