Any of the #electronics and #synthesiser gurus on here familiar with the audio output circuitry on Yamaha SY #synths (especially SY35)? When the volume pot is adjusted, it goes to the desired level then usually the sound slowly fades away to nothing. With a bit of fiddling you can get it to stay constant, but this isn't convenient for #livemusic use. The symptoms sound more complex than just a dodgy pot.

Back to working with #Digitone for a new project and still being impressed how well thought and versatile #synthesiser this little box is. #Digital synths tend to have their own #sound and that is not a bad thing but this one covers much more ground compared with virtual analog and #FM instruments. Tempted to buy the #Keys version but man that's an ugly beast. Sound however is top notch.

R.I.P. Dave Ball

I got to know him in London in 1994, when we spent weeks producing with my band at Eastcote Studios and Dave was working on ‘Swamp Thing’ for his then project The Grid, in the smaller studio upstairs. He was a burly but likeable guy who had synth controllers in his fingers and his nose to the sequencer screen at every opportunity. We had something in common. We also shared the studio's various #synthesiser s, such as the fantastic Oberheim 4-Voice.

So much interesting synth-pop came out in the 1970s and 1980s!

The synth lines that Pete Townshend started using with 1971's "Who's Next" and Eddie Van Halen's synth keyboards on 1983's "Jump" are well worth a mention outside of the pure synth-pop genre.

But me, I'm a sucker for 1985's first release by Propaganda (to my ears, the synth-pop sound's maturity).

Cheers!

We live in an age of incredible numbers of things people have made yet there are loads of things I'd like to have or buy that don't exist and AFAICT never have.

Sadly most things people make are basically the same as some other thing someone made before.

I think of something that should exist but doesn't about twice a week at least.

Sometimes it's a whole new thing, sometimes its just an obvious (to me) tweak to an existing thing.

I have often thought it might be worth a whole mastodon account just tooting things that someone should make but no-one has.

Today's one is a Hammond Organ virtual instrument that supports microtuning. Preferably though MTS-ESP. I mean c'mon most synths do.

I keep drooling over video reviews of the new #MoogMessenger.

I can't really justify getting one, but damn, it sounds good!

It would be interesting to see if #Elektron would make #Digitone mk2 #keyboard #synthesiser. In my mind, Digitone mk2 has very little to do with Digitone mk1, these are almost entirely different instruments, mk2 being probably closest to vintage #virtual #analog synths from Clavia and Access. So if there will be a a keyboard version it would be on a territory of Access Virus and Nord Lead virtual analog synths and that would be very cool indeed.

Tom Whitwell aka Music Thing Modular has a new all-in-one #beginner friendly #DIY #eurorack standard #modular #synthesiser #instrument that is fairly straightforward to build
