Roland D-50: Fantasia (patch demo)


YouTube Uploaded by TheSynthFreq on Nov 14, 2011

"HI :) This D-50 patch demo features a famous preset "Fantasia". I have edited this patch so that the pcm is actually tuned to the other partials and I edited the TVA to have an increased release time.
Jupiter-8 arp is added and Juno-1 bass patch is added to create an 80s theme.
Other than the modified TVA and the pcm tuning, the patch is the original preset.

Yamaha Reface CP and CS Demo Test Videos by TheSynthFreq


Published on Dec 7, 2015 TheSynthFreq

"HI!

After some time since creating our last videos here on youtube, we have returned to show some amazing new Yamaha synths. The Yamaha Reface CP and the Yamaha Reface CS. Here at our studio we just love these synths for what they can do. I will be creating new videos often showing the details of these synths, the sounds, modifiers and everything about the keyed and other features present in these synths.

After seeing the Yamaha Reface synths for the first time in September at KnobCon held by STG sound labs, we just couldn't put these synths down. In fact at the convention we kept visiting the Yamaha booth and playing these Reface synths and visiting with Yamaha about their new product. After playing these synths for the first time, my mind was changed on what the exterior of the synths said, and let the synth's sounds do the talking!

If you like what you see here, the Yamaha Reface synths (CS,CP,YS,DX) can be found at www.yamahasynth.com

if you like portable synths with a great sound and features, these new synths are just the keys to meet the need!

Please enjoy!

Yamaha Reface CP and CS demo test video 2 (80s)

"test video 2 Yamaha CP and CS demo video improvisation.
Yamaha Reface 80s improvisation.
Here at our studio we have been working with the new Yamaha CP and CS synthesizers and working on incorporating these new synths into our composition style. So far we have been very pleased with these new synths and really have been impressed with how flexible these synths sounds are and how many endless options for sound creation there really is with the seemingly small number of options at first glance. The sounds are really well created with these synths and I think we will keep these synths around for a while. :)
Great work Yamaha!

please enjoy the 80s vibe!

Roland D-50: Improv- 'Magic' (ValHalla Wurli)

YouTube Uploaded by TheSynthFreq on Jan 16, 2012

"An improvisation using ValHalla's 'Wurli" patch for the D-50. This is one of my favorite D-50 patches. Its rich and has a little distortion on it as well.
(I edited this patch to add the end LFO as the key is held, it adds a little tremolo effect that isn't included in the original patch)

(Thanks to DaveRBailey for this patch)

Gofundme for TheSynthFreq


Many of you will be familiar with TheSynthFreq from previous posts here on MATRIXSYNTH. MATRIXSYNTH reader midierror wrote in to let us know she has a Gofundme page up for anyone that would like to help her out.

From the Gofundme:

"Most of us in the synthesizer world have at one point or another come across Danielle Morales AKA TheSynthFreq's Youtube channel. It's full of the quirky demos, tips, and music of a woman that obviously loves her synths. What may not be as obvious because she doesn't make it clear in her videos is that she has some fairly serious, life long medical issues. Danielle is deaf-blind, and has been in and out of the hospital many times over the last few years, suffering through strokes that have left her partially paralyzed. Her Facebook feed is a story of endless struggle, yet I have never seen her ask for help or fish for sympathy, she takes it all in stride as best as she can. It is simultaneously heartbreaking and inspiring to watch.

Last night she made a post on Facebook asking for advice on how to sell her gear, because during her most recent ICU stay she needed an emergency intubation... and during that process nearly all of her front teeth, top and bottom, were knocked out, and her insurance is refusing to cover the cost of dental prosthetics. She has described to me the way she looks now with no front teeth as "shocking". This is unacceptable. She absolutely should not have to trade her music for the ability to leave her house without appearing "shocking". I contacted her after seeing her for sale post to ask if she was comfortable with a fundraiser, and she is, so I ask you- my fellow synth nerds across the planet- if you have even a dollar to spare to help this ridiculously strong woman get some sense of normalcy back to her life without losing her music in the process, please help her out. 100% of whatever is collected will go straight to Danielle, I have assigned all financial control of this account to her. Also, if anyone reading this is a dentist/owns a dental lab/ has any relevant connections in the Austin, TX area and would be willing to donate professional services, please feel free to contact us."

"Mercury"- OB-Xa patch demo by Danielle
Published on Nov 20, 2012 by TheSynthFreq
"Greetings :) Here is a patch written for the OB-Xa, massive synthesizer. This patch has a long release time in the amplifier ADSR, with a delicate sine wave LFO to add some dimension and motion to this sound. The depth of the Sine-LFO is kept mild. Fc mild as well. With the OB-Xa, the Fc and the Fc Mod are linked together, almost as if there are two frequency knobs."

D-50 101: Linear Arithmetic Synthesis explained. by TSF


YouTube via TheSynthFreq | February 20, 2011 |

"Linear Arithmetic synthesis or L/A synthesis is whats behind D-50s awesome sound, here I explain the process of how D-50 works.
These 3 main parts of D-50s awesomeness, is:
PCMs- pulse code modulation (there are 100 of them stored to ROM)
Digitally Generated WaveForms- Saw and Square waves (remember a Saw has even and odd harmonics, a Square has only Odd harmonics)
Subtractive Synthesis- the most basic theories for 'subtracting harmonics' in a structured way'.

More videos to come!
Please enjoy! :)

"HI :) 80s funk, old school style track created using the Korg EMX-1. The synth parts were created by using a 6-Osc saw waveform and modulating it slightly with an LFO (Tri) routed to the filter and the patch is gated.
I had to add the cheesy Orch. Hit too, just couldn't help it. hehe
Please enjoy! :)

Korg EMX-1: "In Real Time" by Danielle

Uploaded by TheSynthFreq on Mar 29, 2012

"HI :) New Korg EMX-1 sounds and 80s track. All the synth parts were created using the Korg's waveforms, all parts were created using the "6 Osc" setting. The bass line is also 6-Osc but the amp contour shortened and also gated. Partial mute is also used to remove and add in the synth line in real time.
I also use the arp controller on the left side of the EMX to act as a repeating "trig" in the drum sounds to change add variation. The second synth part I programmed to sound like the famous Gary Numan's "Vox humana" patch. Although the EMX is mono on every synth part, using a midi controller synth allows it to be polyphonic but only externally.

Please Enjoy! :)

Jupiter-8 Patch- "Bright"


YouTube Published on Jul 22, 2012 by TheSynthFreq

"Bright saw waveforms with delayed VCF LFO. :)

VCOs= Saw WFs

VCOs -- VCF Fc 5+ -- VCF (modulation) LFO delayed Saw WF -- ENVs..."

Jupiter-8 patch edits: LFO waveforms and the VCF

Published on Jul 23, 2012 by TheSynthFreq

"Hi! :) Here are several examples of Jupiter-8s VCF (voltage controlled Filter) with different LFO WFs routed to the VCF for (modulation). I used LFO sine, square, triangle and random waveforms offered on Jupiter-8. These are very typical waveforms offered on most synths. Note: if a synthesizer does not offer multiple waveforms for the LFO, then the LFO is most likely modulated by a SINE.

LFOs are in most cases used for adding vibrato, tremolo and other commonly used modulations, but every waveform can be used to modify the VCF and the VCA rather than pitch to get some interesting synthy textures.

LFOs are used to introduce a repeating change in pitch (vco/ oscillator), or timbre/tone color (vcf/filter), and or volume (vca/amp) or any combination within.

I use the LFOs to VCF (LFO mod) to create an 'arp' effect as if an arp was being used but instead of running the arpeggiator (which has a rate of 1-20hz), I used the VCF LFO (saw waveform).
LFO on the Jupiter-8 has a rate from 0.05hz to 40hz. An LFO rate from 20-40hz range is into the audio range (normal human hearing is about = 20hz to 20kHz.
So, the LFO offers a very basic effect of an "arp" but is capable of faster rates than the arp itself.

LFO Waveforms -
Sine= smooth increase and decrease in pitch, timbre or volume/amplitude.
Saw= Types: Positive ramp (rise in value) /Negative ramp (fall in value). Saw creates a repetitive fall/rise of pitch, timbre or volume/amplitude.
Square= repetitive "on/off", "high-low" variation of pitch, timbre or volume/amplitude. Rand S/H= random signal, variation of pitch, timbre and amplitude/volume.

Jupiter-8s LFO can also modulate PWM (not shown).

Please enjoy :)"
