Squarp Instruments Pyramid | Ollie Noir

Published on Dec 16, 2019 Ollie Loops

"In this video, we make a song with the Pryamid standalone sequencer by Squarp Instruments. This is one of the most powerful and feature rich sequencers we have seen. We connect the Pyramid to the Roland SP404SX sampler and the Moog Sub37 synthesizer. Then we go a bit further by connecting the Strymon Big Sky Reverb effects pedal using midi and automate midi parameters on the Pyramid.

We enjoy making videos like this and we hope you enjoy them too. In this video, we deep dive into film noir with our own character Ollie Noir. Videos like this allow us to have fun, spice things up and keep things creative and weird."

Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Assembly & Sound Demo

Published on Feb 3, 2020 Ollie Loops

"In this video, we show your step by step how to assemble the Korg NTS-1 programmable synthesizer kit. We wanted to help users who were looking for a better video tutorial for how to build this kit. And we included some tips and tricks to help users in the assembly process of this DIY synth kit.

The Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 is a programmable single oscillator digital synthesizer with built in effects and arpeggiator. This synth can also have different oscillator types and effects loaded from Korg's corresponding software."

Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Sound Demo

Published on Feb 3, 2020 Ollie Loops

"In this video, we explore the many sounds of the Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Programmable Synthesizer. In this no talking video, we walk through each oscillator and effect on the device. We then have a quick freestyle which combines some of the sounds on the synth. This gives users a sense for what this single oscillator digital synth is capable of."

AKAI MPC ONE REVIEW by Ollie Loops

Published on Feb 24, 2020 Ollie Loops

"In this video, we take an in depth look at the Akai Professional MPC One Standalone sampler, sequencer and production unit. We compare the MPC One to similar devices on the market as well as Akai's current line of MPC devices.

We believe that the MPC One is one of the best values in standalone production samplers on the market in 2020. The release of the device is sure to stir the market and we explain why we think it's such a special device."

Doepfer Sampler, for parts gate cv?

Click here for some shots pulled via this auction. Anyone know what this is? I took a quick look at the Doepfer site and couldn't find it. Note the panel graphics look off center. Homebrew?

via synth ollie.

Update: synth ollie found some more info: "Doepfer CV/Gate controlled modular sound sampler system that was available about between 1985 and 1990. Up to 8 sampling voices could be controlled by a Commodore C64. Software for sampling, FM synthesis, Wavetable synthesis, Fourier synthesis and Waveshaping synthesis were available for the C64. The complete system was also described in detail (including schematics and boards) in the book called "Sound Sampler" published by Elektor (ISBN 3-921608-44-9) in 1988. At this time memory chips were very expensive. Most of the pc board is covered by the memory chips."

Also via swissdoc in the comments:
"There is a book from 1988 by Dieter Döpfer and Cristian Assall, Sound-Sampler, Elektor Verlag 1988, Aachen, ISBN 3-921608-44-9

I have a copy by chance.

It is about building a modular sampler, C64 is used for editing. You had a Sound Sampler Input/Interface module and per voice a Sound Sampler Memory-Card.

The picture above shows a 6-Voice system, the Input/Interface module is left, then 6 times the Memory-Card, each with a HS-VCO to get the pitch and a Curtis filter.

"I'm an 80s kid…and, dude, in my opinion, - even if I sound like an old fart now - there was no better time to be a kid than the 80s (and the 90s, maybe). I mean, dude, I spent my Saturdays lying on the floor of our living room making mixtapes. My parents had this huuuuuuge record collection and I would spend hours on end going through these records…Joy Division, The Cure, The Smiths, Prince, all that good stuff, you know. I mean, how cool is that? And I remember being all hyped up because my parents let me watch Wrestlemania 5…dude, Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage…can it get any better? And I sat there wearing both my Hulkamania shirt and my WW(F|E) Championship belt waving this silly foam finger in my dad's face like there was no tomorrow. Those were the days, my friend! Nintendo released the NES, Michael Jackson's Thriller came out, endless summer nights, countless barbecues…dude, seriously, how awesome were the 80s?

To honour this amazing decade, I made this PO-33 80s drum kit consisting of 15 one shot drum hits and 3 drum loops. I really just sampled a bunch of my old drum machines and layered the samples in Ableton to…well just because😂

PO-33 KO! How to Data Transfer!

video upload by Ollie Loops

"In this chapter of our series on the Teenage Engineering PO-33 KO!, we take a look at one of the more interesting features of the KO, the ability to data transfer to and from the unit. The KO has a feature where connecting a stereo 1/8" to 1/8" cable between the unit and an audio recorder allows you to download all of the samples and patterns in the unit. This allows you to swap samples and patterns without loosing your work. You then have a back up of your work. You can also transfer files directly between two KOs. Note: this also applies to the other Pocket Operators in the Metal Series, the PO-32 and PO-35.

Here is a direct link to the WAV file:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zeiv...

It is super important to get the right audio format when you record the data transfer. It must be a stereo 16 bit 44100 hz file format or better. The recording will likely fail if you deviant from this format."
