Note the EX-1 is not the pre-cursor to the GX-1. That would be the "EX-42 (1970–1977, stage model, design origin of GX-1)" according to the list of Yamaha products on Wikipedia.

"For your consideration is a Yamaha FX-1. This polyphonic FM synthesizer is one of the rarest, most complex, and most expensive synthesizers ever built. Yamaha's flagship FM synthesizer/organ son of the analog GX-1/EX-1 couple, and father to the DX-1, this beautiful instrument packs all the sonic possibilities of a standard organ and polyphonic synthesizer into one gigantic and unique package. If you think that the DX-1 is incredible, which it is, this is even better. The FX-1 is to the DX-1 what the GX-1 is to the CS-80. When released in 1983-4, the FX-1 had a $43,600 price tag (compared to the DX-1, which was released in 1984 with a $10,900 price tag). That's $102,000 today when adjusted for inflation. It is the second most expensive synth that Yamaha ever made. It is rumored that less than 100 were built. Don't miss your chance to get this extremely rare and incredible-sounding synthesizer for much, much less!

This auction includes the synthesizer, bass pedals, bench, and the two extremely rare and gorgeous-sounding (2) Yamaha TM-1 tone cabinets that originally came with this unit. The features of this synthesizer are much too extensive to list here...

This is a very large instrument - 45" high x 60" wide x 32" deep and nearly 500 lbs! - and can only be shipped via freight. The $590 shipping cost is just an estimate..."

Details:
"This is a super rare Yamaha FX-1 electone organ piano key board synthesizer SN 1134 Wow I have one! not many made and not many left i was told less the 15 in the US and no more the 20 in the world cost over $45,000 in 1983 i also have the TX-1 amplifier tone cabinet the serial 1666 which is included and the pedals
The Yamaha FX-1 isn't really an organ, but, in this case, a group of polyphonic digital synthesizers, based on Yamaha's DX FM synth technology. Various level and balance controls are operated by sliders, and the sliders are automated, so that when a preset is recalled, the sliders actually moved to the preset positions"

Yamaha EX5 Demos by Snupps

Use the player controls to skip through videos.

1.

A demo of a effect sound i made, Under the Name The Abyss, its a strange sound. And only the EX5 can achieve this type of sounds, I used no external FX for this and there is almost no layered tracks, mostly one continous recorded track. I used the AWM/FDSP engine for this, Cheers!

Yamaha EX5 Demo The Abyss 2. Public Transport (Yamaha EX5 Demo)

A ambient track, where i mostly use my Yamaha EX5, and most specifically a sound i made under the name Transporter, which kinda sounds like a bowed string instrument, where i used the FDSP synth engine. I also used my Korg M50 and Kawai K5000s for some more layered sounds. All the sounds were made by me.

Soundsauca Roland System-1 Soundsets

Playlist:

1. Roland System-1 - Cosmic Arps Patches

A Roland System-1 sound bank designed for unearthly audio contortions that only the little green machine can provide. Let loose your arp and get ready for slice & dice!

Available here: https://www.soundsauca.com/sounds/cos...​
Also as a bundle: https://www.soundsauca.com/sounds/rol...​

64 Patches included • 8 x Sequence arps • 54 x Arpeggio sounds • 2 x Rhythmic patches
Tested on the Roland System 1 Plugout/Hardware

Scattered sonics are combined with classic melodic arpeggios and effects. Whilst the System-1 has been superseded by its big brother, the System-8. The System-8 dropped the scatter function to probably appear a more “serious” synthesizer. I find the scatter to be more interesting than at first glance because it affects synth parameters, as opposed to DSP scatter effects on the TR-8 and TB-3. I took advantage of this feature and added randomisation to many of the sounds in the sound bank.

There is something for everyone here, with some beautiful bells and softer sounds, to some more random and aggressive patches.

I created these sounds with the Roland Cloud plugin version and have tested them with my hardware System 1. As I don’t have access to a System 1m rack version, I would presume there would be some differences due to the fact the System 1m doesn’t have an arpeggiator or the scatter function.

2. Roland System-1 - Seismic Bass Patches

Seismic Bass for the Roland System-1 features 64 concrete crumbling basses, rubbery mono-synths, digital DX’s, crushed up dirt, filthy acid, dubby wubs and earth shattering subs.

Available here: https://www.soundsauca.com/sounds/sei...​
Also as a bundle: https://www.soundsauca.com/sounds/rol...​

Basses that blow the doors down. The Roland System-1 is an extremely powerful bass synthesizer. I bought my Roland System-1 along with an Arturia Microbrute – A fine mono-synth in it’s own right. However the Microbrute went back and the System 1 stayed! As a tribute, the first sound in this pack was named Brutus for its fuzziness.

In this sound bank, there’s a range of sounds paying homage to some of my favourite Yamaha DX sounds (minus the noise floor). One of my favourite waveforms on the System 1 is the logical operation waveform. It sounds similar to the Alpha Juno PWM saw wave at lower levels, but when raised it gets gnarly. Adding in the cross modulation on top and things get out of control fast.

Woofer punishment guaranteed!

3. Roland System-1 - Atomic Atmospheres Patches

Atomic atmospheres features 64 stratospheric pads, angelic strings, dark ambiences and sound FX for the Roland System-1.

Available here: https://www.soundsauca.com/sounds/ato...​
Also as a bundle: https://www.soundsauca.com/sounds/rol...​

The System-1 doesn’t appear the sort of synth to create big washes of sound. With it’s focus more aligned with classic analog synthesis a limited FX section I was surprised to discover that it can go far deeper than it’s neon 'me-too' mono-synth styling suggest. The 4 voice limitation seemed a road block to producing large audio atmospheres, but the 12 waveforms, there’s a wide range of sculpting possibilities to be x-modded, ring-modded and synced. In particular, the vowel waveform can be bent and twisted together with the 'super-waves' (Supersaw, Supersquare and Supertriangle). The System-1 has deeper qualities.

From the wails of a dystopian technological future with 'Sirens' to the euphoric dreams of 'Stratosphere', there’s an array of useful presets here to immerse yourself into.

2. Journey to the Edge of the Universe - Ep. 1 - Leaving the Earth

"Journey to the Edge of the Universe - Ep. 1 - Leaving the Earth is a new weekly series of live studio recordings. Welcome aboard and let's start this Journey!

Using: Virus Ti2 in multimode (2 pads, 2 arps), OP-1 - pad, Eurorack mix: bass and FX, Circuit - drums, Radias - bass."

3. Journey to the Edge of the Universe - Ep. 2 - New Horizons

"Earth remains behind the Spaceship. It becomes smaller and smaller. New worlds, new horizons are waiting for us, the Space Pioneers... Episode 2 of this Journey starts with a System-1 pad, passed through MI Clouds. Bass sound comes from Z3000 mkII and SEM, lead from OP-1, pad from microKorg, arpeggiator from Ti2, FX - Radias and percution from Circuit."

4. Journey to the Edge of the Universe - Ep. 3 - A Lost Transmission

"You may know that saying with the Universe conspiring so the things to be as they're meant to be! The Planets lined up with this Episode, since my camera didn't want to record more than a few seconds and stopped (and I didn't noticed this), matching perfectly with the title of this Episode 3: A Lost Transmission!
This Episode starts with Yamaha Motif XS6, the workstation of a friend and most of the sounds you hear in the first part, are from it, sampled in Ableton. Part two continues with my usual gear plus Promars System-1 plug-out (seq), Arturia iSEM (bass seq) and Animoog (lead).

We're far away from Earth and some interferences, as you may see, are blocking our comunication to the Earth. Hoping that next days we'll be able to re-establish the connection! But, who knows... There are some clues that a mysterious ship is following us..."

5. Journey to the Edge of the Universe - Ep. 4 - Supernovae

"After the communications were re-established, we found out what causes the signal loss: a Supernovae chain effect, two sister stars exploded and generated some cosmic radiations. We are passing now near this area..."

6. Journey to the Edge of the Universe - Ep. 5 - Empty Space

"Featuring: Moog Model 15, Quadnic, Novation Circuit, Virus Ti2, Blofeld, microKorg, Radias, System-1 Promars.
Using a very nice FX patch on Model 15, created by my friend Tony Saunders (the creator of MidiSequencer iPad app)."

7. Journey to the Edge of the Universe - Ep. 6 - Radio Waves

"Coming back from a one week exhausting trip, The Journey to the Edge of the Universe continues with Ep. 6 based on OP-1 - radio, SoundScaper - drone, Quadnic-Braids-Tides-Clouds - drone and sequence, microKorg - lead, Virus Ti2 - pads, Circuit - drumbs, bass, sequence."

MATRIXSYNTH Review and Overview of the Novation UltraNova

Hi everyone, you might remember, back in July I posted some pics of my newly acquired UltraNova, and mentioned that review posts would eventually follow. Well, I’m happy to tell you the first post is here. The UltraNova is one powerful synth, so to make the overall review a bit more consumable, it will be broken up over time. This first section includes an Overview, the Oscillators, and the Mixer sections. When new sections go up, I will be sure to let you know via a new post.

As with most of my reviews, I will say this one goes pretty deep into the synth engine and all editable parameters. If you are the type of person that likes to dissect and explore all of the available parameters on a synth, then this post is for you. I will touch on what each parameter does and will call out any interesting features and limitations as I do so. There are some pretty special parameters on the UltraNova that give you control beyond most other synths. Hopefully this review will give you some insight into what makes the UltraNova special.

Overview & Quick Comparison to Previous Nova Synths

The Novation UltraNova, released back in 2010, is a 20 voice virtual analog & wavetable synth with three oscillators, two ring modulators and one noise source per voice. The UltraNova also features two audio ins that can be assigned to the oscillator section and/or a 12-band vocoder. It’s worth noting that the Novation Nova from 1999 featured a 40-band vocoder, while the Supernova II from 2000 featured a 42-band vocoder. The UltraNova is a monotimbral synth while the 12 voice Nova was six part multitimbral and the Supernova II (24, 36, or 48 voice) was eight part multitimbral. The UltraNova supports up to 5 simultaneous effects per patch. The Nova supported 42 simultaneous effects, while the Supernova II supported up to 56. The Supernova II also supported FM synthesis while the Nova and UltraNova omit it.

The UltraNova, however, is the first Nova synth to feature wavetable synthesis. An interesting side note is that all of the oscillators on the UltraNova are actually stored as wavetables, including the standard waveforms. According to Novation, “The wavetables in the Supernova series are all calculated. The wavetables in the UltraNova, even the standard analogue waves are wavetable oscillators. This change in oscillator generation was first used on the A-Station and K-Station and subsequently in the KS series, X-Station and Xio.” This allows the UltraNova to have some advanced tricks when it comes to the oscillator section, which will be covered in detail below.

I asked Novation about the lack of FM synthesis and they told me, “FM would have been a lovely addition to the UltraNova, but it would have been asking too much of the DSP to be able to run everything the UltraNova can do and also add in FM. The wavetables were a really good way to introduce a new (to Novation) type of synthesis that is able to cater for some of the synth sounds that FM is known for and also to be able to create lush evolving pads.”

The UltraNova features two routable filters per voice with a total of 14 filter types to chose from including 6dB (no resonance), 12dB, 18dB, and 24dB with Lowpass, Bandpass and Hi-pass modes. The Nova and Supernova II lacked a 6dB mode.

As for hardware, although the UltraNova may have fewer knobs per function than its predecessors, it is extremely well laid out and super intuitive to use. Along with both keyboard velocity and aftertouch, the UltraNova has touch sensitive knobs. They literally respond to touch and can be assigned to various parameters. Worth noting, velocity is configurable, however, aftertouch is not. I found the aftertouch to be good, but it does require a little extra force than I prefer; it’s good for not accidentally triggering it, but not so good for subtle, natural performance.

Please note the above comparisons with the Nova and Supernova II were only for quick reference. The UltraNova of course is its own synth with a few tricks up its sleeves that are lacking in the original Nova line, including a level of control over the synth engine often only found in the modular realm. It sounds incredible, and for the price, currently only $599 new, it is an extremely flexible and powerful synth. You get the current top-of-the-line Novation Nova synth engine with new wavetables and more. The UltraNova is both a performance oriented synth as well as a synth programmers dream. It can be configured for easy access to specific parameters for a live situation, or you can dig as deep as you want with a clearly well thought out interface.

That said, let’s dig in.

The following review and overview will essentially go over the signal flow of the UltraNova followed by performance controls including the arpeggiator and the hardware interface. I’ll go into a little detail on what each feature can and cannot do in an attempt to give you a detailed idea of what the synth is capable of. Because my reviews tend to be a bit on the longer side, I will be posting the sections in chunks over time to make it easier on you to consume and for me to compose.

Analog synthesizers live demo 7; feat. Kraftwerk and Vangelis ; please use headphones

video by Synthe_64

"please use headphones: since this is recorded live, the mixing is not very good, but when you use headphones you will hear all extras like bass, wind, phasing, panning etc.
In this demo you can hear the mighty analog synths: Moog minimoog ( 1973 ), Korg MS10, Yamaha CS10 and Roland SH2.
More recent are the Roland U220 and Yamaha FB01 midi modules. The newbies are the Arp Odissey ( Korg ) and Arturia Microbrute. The modulars are Pittsburgh Modular and Doepfer Dark Energy along with the Dark Time.
Rhythm provided by the Akai Rhythm Wolf.
Everything is played live. No prerecording, post editing or mixing."

Analog Synthesizers live demo 8; feat. Pink Floyd; please use headphones for best result

"please use headphones: since this is recorded live, the mixing is not very good, but when you use headphones you will hear all extras like bass, wind, phasing, panning etc.
In this demo, the solo's are played with a Minimoog ( 1973 ) and a Roland SH2. The bass partion is from the Yamaha CS10 and de ARP Odissey. Chords are played with 2 Roland JV1010 modules and a Yamaha FB01.
The modulars are mainly Pittsburgh and Doepfer. Sequencers are Pittsburgh, Doepfer dark time and the Korg SQ1. Additional drum is done by the Korg monotribe and the EMW T-drum module. Finally some FX from Roland, Yamaha and Alesis.
Everything is played live, no post production. I don't use midi , everything is connected trough CV, Gates and clock signals."
