KOMA Elektronik Komplex Sequencer: MC-202 Jam
Here, we are controlling a Roland MC-202 with the Komplex Sequencer. The MC-202 runs through a KOMA ELEKTRONIK BD-101 pedal. The Komplex Sequencer also clocks the Korg Volca Beats. Sequencer A of the Komplex Sequencer controls the CV/Gate of the MC-202, and Sequencer C CVs the Delay Time of the BD-101. The clocks of all sequencers are patched together. In the second half of the video, Sequencer B CVs the Sequencer Start Point of Sequencer A, while Sequencer D CVs the Transpose function of Sequencer A. The Sequence Length, Play Mode and Division are changed by hand to further complicate the pattern playing. Feel it!

comparision demo KORG ARP ODYSSEY (2015) vs. ARP ODYSSEY Mk.III (1978)Here is the A / B comparison test. It is very important to say that compared to my old ARP Odyssey Mk.III from 1978. The synth is 100% technically ok, calibrated and in practically in mint condition.
On the new KORG ARP Odyssey are three different filter types (Rev.1 to Rev.3) available and only filter type III is used here in the test. The owner manual for this filter is to comply with the 24 dB/oct low-pass filter (filter 4075) of the Odyssey Mk.III. Furthermore, the Drive function of the new ARP Odyssey is deactivated because it is not this the original. In order to maintain absolute equality, the audio samples were recorded directly via the same audio input without any external effects, compressors or equalizers and then recorded on HD.
In the audio examples, it was not aware of keyboard acrobatics, the focus was more on the key features of sound production as basic sound of the oscillators including pulse width modulation, the filter, ringmodulator, the VCO sync function and especially the speed of the envelopes to make a meaningful comparison to get.
If the old ARP some sounds louder sounds than the KORG, then is that the result of all the parameters.
For example, the sound filter in position III thinned at a high response from KORG out much more and loses its foundation as the old Odyssey MK.III. On both synths is the VCA fader on top position. The sound of the new KORG ARP is more clean, especially in the bass spectrum. The old ARP is a bit noisy and sounds a bit more organic.some sounds are sequenced over cv/gate with the Doepfer Dark Time step sequencer.
Highland ambience – Roland SH-1 & Eventide Space
Someone here recently asked me which of my synths was my favourite – I’d probably say the Roland SH-1, followed by the Micromoog perhaps. This is a re-recording of something I uploaded 3 years ago, and I initially posted this on my other channel ‘tomorrowthecure’, but since so few find that channel I thought I’d upload it here too. The outdoor footage is from the highlands of Scotland, the camera was old, and youtube compression has made it look even worse, but the the sounds and images are connected in my mind, so there it is.
Korg MS-20M – the second sighting
the SQ-1 is used for sequencing, does it very well 
A little bit H9 Reverb was used, nothing else.
The video is in 3 parts, the part 2 and 3 are going a bit more the “modular way”…
Harp as you never heard before
Fantastic perfomance!

Futuresonus announces analog poly Parva coming summer 2015
The Futursonus Parva Synthesizer
Each of Parva’s eight voices features three digitally-controlled analog oscillators, producing sawtooth, triangle, and PWM waveforms with accurate pitch and tuning stability.
A pair of two-pole state-variable filters can be configured for a 12dB or 24dB low-pass or high-pass response, or split for bandpass or notch filtering. Four four-stage envelope generators and four multi-waveform low-frequency oscillators feed a flexible modulation matrix, allowing for virtually limitless sound design options.
Key Features:
Eight voice polyphonic synthesizer with flexible voice assignment
Three oscillators per voice
Flexible dual filters
4 LFOs
100% analog signal path
Digital patch management and control
USB master port so you can connect USB MIDI controllers directly to it
Aluminum case and knobs
Pricing and Availability
Parva is expected to ship in Summer 2015. Pre-orders will begin in February, with the standard polyphonic Parva retailing for under $1000. An expandable monophonic version will also be available for under $500.
