Synth-DIY Experimenter Board Part 1

Synth-DIY Experimenter Board Part 2

Text from the video :

• If you've been wanting to get started in synth-diy by building a cool sound effect box you can't do better than this project. You will have a veritable plethora of sound generating devices in the palm of your hand although I recommend some kind of case (last joke I promise). This board is packed with simple circuits that sound cool. You'll be surprised by the number of sound possibilities it supports. You don't have to build all of the modules either. You can just build what you want to make a specific sound. You want wind... just build the White Noise Generator and one VCF. You want better wind build the White Noise Generator both VCFs and the output mixer. How about birds or bell sounds... just build the Sound Effect Oscillators an AR Envelope Generator and an LFO. You can go as far as you like with this project.

Rare Chance To See and Hear Roland System 700

Text from the video :

• So I get an email from a friend saying "Have you seen this?" I check the link and am confronted by the wonderful Roland System 700 - a beast of a modular from the late 1970's that's in immaculate condition. Of course, I'd love to buy it I say, but I suspect the final price is likely to be a tad out of my reach (it was at £18k when I looked). But its in Bath came the reply. Right then, a quick message to the seller and off I went to take a look.

  Kindly, Mark who is selling this as part of a collection for Ian Stanley, a former Tears for Fears keyboard player and producer with a long list of credits (Human League, Aha etc), invited me round to take a last look at it before it heads off to it's lucky new owner

  System 700 Facts
  • Made from 1976-1982
  • Weighs over 160KG in case
  • Originally cost over £10,000
  • Full system has 9 oscillators
  • Power is distributed using standard mains IEC connectors, but the voltage is much lower – so don't plug it in to the the mains!

  • Users include: Giorgio Moroder, Hans Zimmer, Isao Tomita and Pink Floyd

  Many thanks again to Mark for letting us take a look around. Keep an eye on some of the other stuff coming up from this collection at Mark's merchant link on eBay.

Modular Madness - MFOS Ultimate + Expander

MFOS Ultimate + Expander / MFOS Analog Sequencer

Text from the video :

• The MFOS sequencer is driving the MFOS Ultimate.
  
  VCO 1and VCO 2 are patched to the Expander Multi-mode filter, the band pass out is patched to the Expander signal mixer.
  
  VCO3 and Noise are mixed on the Ultimate mixer and routed to the Ultimate low pass filter and filter output is routed to the Ultimate VCA
  
  Ultimate AR envelope is modulating low pass filter and Ultimate VCA
  
  Ultimate VCA is patched to the Expander Signal Mixer
  
  LFO1 is modulating the Cutoff frequency of the Band pass filter
  
  LFO2 is modulating the VCO3 Pulse Width
  
  Expander Signal Mixer is routed to the Epxander VCA who is modulated by Expander ADSR. The VCA is routed to the audio output.

Modular Madness - Buchla 259e Sequence

Another amazing patch created by boobtube356 .

259e Sequence

Text from the video :

• Again a pair of 259e oscillators provide the sound sources. Both are set up in tracking mode with the modulation oscillator controlling the morph, and running in hard sync mode. The principal oscillators are in mem skew "b" mode at about 2 o'clock. The results are going through the 292e in LPF mode and then to the 291e to emulate a resonant low pass filter. Buchla running in Moog mode, if you will. Just more tonal stuff for your enjoyment, and to demonstrate the range of this instrument, and the 259e in particular.

ARP - 2600 - Demo

The ARP 2600 is one the most famous synths in the synth history. The main difference between this synth and its competitors was that it's semi-modular, so you have the benefits of a pre-patched synth and part of the freedom of a modular system.

ARP 2600 part1: Sound FX

ARP 2600 pt2 : classic Lead & Bass

Text from the video :

• Recorded through Allen&Heath ZED R16's A/D converters with no EQ or processing.
  I recently had recapped and modified my early 70's Tonus-logo ARP 2600 synthesizer. Everything works great now, plus my tech added extended FM and keyboard/LFO functions - even better than new! You can achieve these sounds using a stock 2600 as well, but mine has a few paths re-routed for convenience, also a rebuilt key-assembly, filter and PSU, an extra LFO etc.

Analogue Solutions - Tereshkova

Tereshkova : the new modular synth from Analogue Solutions.

It's a new version of the well known Vostok The difference between these systems is that instead the matrix patch and the Vu meter , a new LFO, two VCAs and two multiples have been added.

I like the name of these synths....

• Vostok : the name of the Russian Space Program that lead Yurin Gagarin to be be the first man in the Space

• Tereshkova : the surname of the first woman in the space, Valentina Tereshkova.

Tereshkova demo #01: Used with Oberkorn sequencer

Text from the video :

• Tereshkova modular synth and Oberkorn sequencer. First ever demo.
  

Tereshkova demo #02: Messing with the joystick

Text from the video :

• Controlling clock speed of sequencer (using VC LFO) and filter cutoff with the joystick.
  

Tereshkova demo #03: Long evolving demo

Text from the video :

• Demo of modular analogue synth Tereshkova.
  

Tereshkova demo #04: finishing with a tour through the patch cables

Text from the video :

• Demo of modular analogue synth Tereshkova. This is identical to Vostok, except that instead of a matrix panel and VU meter you get 2 extra multiples, 2 extra VCAs and an extra LFO. Otherwise they are the same.

TipTop Audio - Z2040

The TipTop Audio Z2040 is a filter based on the one used on the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5. If you want to know it sounds watch this great review created by Matthew Davidson

TipTop Audio Z2040

Text from the video :

• A brief introduction. This is my attempt to capture what it is like to feel and use the Z2040 filter. For most of us, it isn't possible to visit a nearby store and hear these things, so you have to sort of buy euro modules on faith. Hopefully you'll find this video helpful.

Analogue Solutions - Telemark

Thelemark is the semi-modular version of the Semblance, an analogue synth that is a modern replica of the Oberheim Sem.

Analogue Solutions::Telemark Demo

Text from the video :

• The new synth from Analogue Solutions - Telemark. I've only had it for a couple of days but it's already made a huge impact on my studio. I don't know how I've got by without having any VCO's in the past! This thing sounds HUGE.
  
  I decided to make this, my first demo vid, to showcase the Telemark as they aren't enough demos out there. Keep in mind that I'm only scratching the surface here...
  
  All the sounds you hear in this demo are made on the Telemark. The only FX added were a touch of reverb on the main synth sound.

Text from the video :

• Step right up, ladies and gentlemen -- this latest episode is presented via the miracle of SUPER-THEREMIN-ATION -- a process that allows the viewer to see for the very first time exactly what is going on INSIDE of a Theremin while the performer is playing. Literally no expense has been spared to bring this technological innovation to the forefront so that you, dear observer, can experience the awe and mystery, the thrills and chills, of having the sounds of the Theremin come to life as if it were in your very own lap!
