MacBeth: NEXUS TEST (5) WITH KORG SQ10 SEQ
Well after 5 teaser videos from MacBeth on the Nexus it sure seems like the new synth is coming together nicely
“When I’m testing gear that I’m designing- it’s quite exciting!….sometime I have to record/vid. Here is three of the NEXUS (prototype) being driven by a Korg SQ-10 sequencer- the fourth osc is cross modding the higher pitched square wave osc. It’s great fun running a three track analogue sequencer into this thing! Spacey effects are as usual with this device- the Dual Tape Delay Simulators- no other effects! Today- on screen- I basically finished the synthesizer. I’m looking forward to submitting the data to manufacture next week…! This btw is basically two different experiments filmed at different times…”

Teaser from MacBeth – NEXUS TEST (3)
People have asked that MacBeth do a video of the NEXUS prototype again- more features now added include Octave Switch for all 4 Oscillators. For Oscillators 1 and 3- seperate Pulse Width Modulators have been added- separate mening independant of each other and of the on board LFO. Fatten your sound up with a full on 4 Oscillators! Also featured on this synthesizer are a Dual State Variable Filter, 4 Envelope Generators, Dual Noise Generators, Dual VCAs and Dual Tape Delay Simulator circuits! NEXUS is a true stereo analogue synthesizer with touch plate keyboard! In the hands of a real musician- this thing will work wonders!

Taking a closer look at Korg Lambda
This is a small demo from the Korg Lambda ES-50, together with the Roland TR-77. Played by hand with multitrack recording.
Beside some reverb and delay, some lines from the Lambda were also played through the Electro Harmonix Small Stone Phaser.
The Lambda ES50 is a vintage poly-ensemble type synthesizer with slightly editable Preset orchestral sounds. It is divided into two sections: The Percussion set includes Preset pianos, clavis and harmonics; The Ensemble section has Presets for brass, strings, organ and choruses. Filter and envelope controls affect the different instruments individually. The Lambda has 96 discrete envelopes and VCAs – two for each key – a very unusual design. There are also vibrato and chorus effects.
The Percussion group and Ensemble group each have their own separate outputs which is nice. A joystick is proveded left of the keyboard for simultaneous control of pitch bends and chorus phase speed.
The String sounds are the nicest sounds this synth can create. With three oscillators you can vary and detune them enough to get a nice layered analog string. Piano and Brass sounds are pretty cheesy. The Lambda is cased in a great big wooden case that gives it that authentically vintage status. It’s nice to have around, but a good sample of it is all you’ll really need these days.
