MacBeth MK1 Vortex analog synth demo (prototype)
Here we have a demo of the Macbeth Mk1 VORTEX Desktop Analogue Synthesizer Module. For those who know the format- this is a 5U, 6 Space compact flat unit! It started out as the ‘micromac’- an ambitious idea. This is a a complete **starter** modular synthesizer in a very small area. Anyway, well it’s done. Here is a video of this thing. Personally I’m pleased- this small unit can provide the user with the sound of a big modular system- it’s an entry point fot those wondering. The video content itself meanderders and only the die-hard will watch to the end! Some synth manufacturers give tiny examples of the sound of their gear- I tend to long drawn out stuff to give the potential user the feel of the instrument being used in a permance way. I’m rock and roll myself, so please excuse the personal feel to this thing!

Tight demo of the VIBRAPHONE
Now available at http://www.optigan.com/shoptigan
A new release in our line of Vako Orchestron discs, VIBRAPHONE. It’s unlikely that there will be sufficient demand to do a second run of 25 of these discs, so your best bet is to buy as many of these as you need while you can! Any future additional copies will most likely be done as one-offs, which are twice as expensive to produce, and thus will cost twice as much.
VIBRAPHONE is an entirely NEW sound for the Orchestron. This sound, like our earlier PIANO disc, is not really intended to be played melodically. Each note is actually a simple rhythmic pattern, and when you play chords, these patterns interlock in complex ways to created a hypnotic effect. Great for getting Steve Reich style minimalist textures. This disc also works well played upside-down, as you can hear in the second part of the demo. Please excuse my awful playing here, which is just a quick noodle to demonstrate the sound!
SPECIAL THANKS to Mark Greenberg (http://www.mayfairworkshop.com/) for playing an recording the vibraphone!
PLEASE NOTE: This disc WILL NOT play properly in an Optigan! They WILL play, but the sounds will NOT be mapped correctly to the keyboard- they will be mapped mostly haphazardly across the chord buttons. Please don’t order this disc expecting to easily use it in an Optigan. In the future we will be porting the Orchestron sounds to the Optigan- please be patient!
Stay tuned for more Orchestron discs, both new and remastered titles!

Doepfer A188-1 BBD Basics
Overview of functions and features of the Doepfer A188-1 BBD Delay module.
Video, voice, and sound by Raul Pena.
Module A-188-1 is a so-called Bucket Brigade Device module (abbr. BBD). BBDs have been used to delay audio signals before digital delays dethroned the BBD based effect units. But BBDs have some very unique advantages (or disadvantages dependent on the point of view) over the digital counterpart which result from the special properties of the BBDs. BBD circuits can be treated as a chain of Sample&Hold units (S&H) which pass on their voltages to the next S&H in the chain at each clock pulse. A more detailed explanation – including the different types of BBDs – can be found in following chapter.
In any case the sounds generated by module A-188-1 are very special. Typical applications are: Flanger, Chorus, Analog Delay or Karplus/Strong synthesis. But as the A-188-1 has a lot of very unique features (voltage controlled clock rate / delay time with extreme range, polarity switches for the CV inputs, feedback and BBD out/mix, clock and CV output of the high speed VCO, BBD clock input, feedback insert, feedback up to self-oscillation) a lot of unusual applications can be realized with the module (e.g. delay controlled by ADSR, envelope, random or sequencer with positive or negative effect). The A-188-1 also has no built-in anti-alisaing filter in order not to limit the possibilities of the module. For this the CV out is intended.
Vintage demo: Roland Alpha Juno 2 Analog Synthesizer (1986)
Roland Alpha Juno 2 Analog Synthesizer from the year 1986. The direct successor of the Juno-106 but with more possibilites.
The first demo shows the different sound possibilities.
“This is an upgraded version of the Alpha Juno 1. It adds an extended 61 note keyboard with velocity and aftertouch and an external memory cartridge slot. Other than that it has the same great sound and features as the Juno 1. Sliders and buttons were replaced by membrane buttons and the Alpha Dial which is used to edit and browse through the extensive selection of parameters: DCO digitally controlled oscillators, LFO, bend, ENV, pulse, waveforms, noise, PW/PWM, high pass filter, VCF filter with freq/env/res/lfo/kybd, VCA envelope, chorus, and more.
Adequate in the studio or on the stage, the Juno 2 has 64 presets and 64 user memory patches, a nice LCD display, an LFO capable of a very slow rate for some cool sweeping effects, and a great bass sound (especially nice for acid basslines) and noise effects! It also has chord memory which is perfect for rave & techno, portamento and keyboard transposing. The PG-300 Synthesizer Programmer gives you traditional slider control of each parameter for much easier and faster editing. “
A demonstration of the Monde Synthesizer MS5 Pannerama
About the synth:
“MS5 Pannerama unleashes a world of sound through a powerful, easy to use interface
The MS5 Pannerama unleashes a vast array of analog sound sculpting tools right to the fingertips of musicians and recording professionals through an affordable efficient interface. The Pannerama, produced by Ottawa firm Monde Synthesizer Inc., takes a monophonic instrument or microphone and processes it into a sweeping stereophonic soundscape. This ergonomic unit easily fits atop a semi-modular synthesizer or beside a mixer. It allows the musician to continuously vary the effect: moving from slow smooth sine wave panning through to aggressive square wave ring modulation — and everything in between.
‘The Pannerama really broadens your instrument’s palette of sound,” explains Monde’s President and CEO, John Emond, himself a musician. “It possesses a wide range of interfacing capabilities — from analog, semi-modular and digital synthesizers to guitars and expression pedals. We call it the Pannerama because it provides an extensive range of stereophonic panning and ring modulation effects’.
This versatile unit is available in two different packaging options — a desktop unit and a “synth-top” unit. Both are available for just $535.00 plus shipping and handling. For more information (including full technical specifications) or to order, go to www.mondesynthesizer.com.

AKAI MINIAK Demo
This is just a demo of AKAI MINIAK Synth. All sounds came from Miniak except drums. The track was sequenced in Cubase 5. For drum samples i used Groove Agent that comes with Cubase 5. Final mix was processed with UAD SSL 4K Channel Strip. L3 Ultra Maximizer. This is just a demo to show the sounds of the Miniak.

Additionally, the Triangle and Sawtooth waveforms do have PWM modes. Several waveforms can be selected simultaneously for each of the oscillators…. One multimode filter based on the CEM 3320 chip emulation, providing Self oscillating 12 dB and 24 dB low pass, 6 and 12 dB band pass, and 12 dB high pass modes…
Four D-ADSR : an enhanced standard ADSR envelope with a MIDI syncable delay.
Four LFOs, including two neverseen LFOS types…. Four embedded effects : Delay, Chorus, Phaser, Dual EQs… One Multi-track sequencer… Several playing modes including A la Moog mono modes and several Polyphonic modes…
