Sealed's SY85 Page Update

Via Sealed's Deep Synthesis Journal.



"I added new sound examples of YAMAHA SY85 .

Also MIDI SysEx information added. It seems that there are different versions of SY85 OS. If you know anything about SY85's SysEx, please let me know."

x0xb0x

303 DIY clone. Via CoolColJ's the gas station thread started way back on May 28. I swear his threads always seem to last forever. I think his Andromeda A6 thread was the longest running except for maybe the Olde Oberheim Abbey thread. Those were good times, btw. I still wonder what ever happened to Seldom Seen Slim. : )

Title link takes you to the main x0x0b0x site with more pictures and samples. Check out this little diddy.




"The x0xb0x is not just another MIDI-controlled TB-303 clone. x0xb0x is a full reproduction of the original Roland synthesizer, with fully functional sequencer. The sequencer can be programmed just like the original 303 (ok its actually a little easier, we think) and can be used to control other synthesizers via any of its various output formats. 128 banks of track memory and 64 banks of pattern memory are stored in onboard EEPROM, no battery-backup is needed!"

More Shots of Tim Lee's Custom Macbeth M5

I recently posted about Tim Lee's custom macbeth M5. He just posted a link to more shots of it on AH. Title link takes you there. Some good shots that give you a perspective on the size of the Macbeth M5.

Korg Poly61M Samples

Some great Korg Polysix samples via rockmanrock on the gas station.

Genesis Synth P*rn

Apparently the Genesis - Video Show DVD has tons of analog synth p*rn in it. Definitely need to add it to my list...

Three Prophet VS Emulations

Update: Make that THREE Prophet VS emulations. Via anonymous in the comments (guys and gals, start using your alias I can give you credit! : )

This Prophet VS emulator has been around for a while. That would make three!

Update: Trip! I just tried out the Auguar demo and the two envelops you can see in the picture below actually have a white dot that indicates where you are in the envelop while you hold a note down. Too cool.

Title link takes you to a post I was reading on Vintage Synth Explorer regarding a Prophet VS VSTi named the Auguar. I decided to check it out remembering that I previously downloaded General Vibe's excellent Prophet VS emulation, VectorSector. I remember reading that the people behind the VectorSector worked on the original Prophet VS, but I might be mistaken. If you know either way, please comment. I haven't been fortunate enough to get my hands on a real Prophet VS but both of these do sound good to my ears. They have that haunting quality the Prophet VS is known for. Click on the links for more info including samples and demos of each. I believe the Auguar is free while the VectorSector is $129 as of this post. It's amazing what you can get for relatively nothing today.
