N/A

I think the DX11 is a pretty underrated synth, it has all kinda of things going for it so I though I would share a few thoughts.

Synthy stuff

- It sounds awesome. I don't really feel these demos are pushing the unit THAT hard but they give a nice overview of some of the synths capabilities. Just the DX11 or Just the tx81z (rackmount dx11)

- It is an 8 wave form 4op synth (like the TQ5/TX81z), not quite at hard to wrap your head around as the 6op dx7 series but a bit deeper than the dx100/9/21/27.

- IT HAS A PITCH ENVELOPE!!!! Something that makes programming drums way more simple. The only DX synth with one I think (tx81z does NOT have one).

- It can do pretty awesome fake filter stuff.

- Velocity / Aftertouch and nice key action make it a great master keyboard.

- Can easily do famous patches like Solidbass / FM Sawtooth

- Can layer up to 8 voices.

- Breath control, don't knock it, you can assign breath control to all sorts of things and use midi to control it.

Non synthy but other nice touches.

- Robust as hell.

- It is pretty small for a 5 octave keyboard. (90 x 30 x 6 cm) also light at 7kg.

- Looks awesome, black, push button rather than membrane keys, very bright screen.

- There is an excellent Windows patch editor

- Seems very cheap, I have bought 2 for under 100 bucks, last one I say on Ebay went for 150 bucks.

- Self contained power supply.

Possible downsides,

- 8 voices / 8 part multitimbral (this might be a bit lacking for some people)

- Only 32 user patches.

One of the things I've found myself doing a lot is making use of guitar pedals to add colour to some of my LSDJ tracks. I got a bit obsessed with the weird and wonderful boutique noise boxes that are out there, but got frustrated that all of the demo videos (with a few notable exceptions) all focussed on warbly guitar riffs, and didn't really give much of an idea of what to do with synths/drum machines/other electronic instruments.

So... I decided to set up a blog to demo some of the more unusual pedals I come across, and just stuck it live tonight with my first one: An MWFX Judder pedal - played through a couple of Gameboys/TI-83+. Thought it may be of interest to some of you here!

***edit***

I have frontlit GBCs in the past with SP frontlights.

Just installed one of the frontlight kits. Will be posting photos here momentarily and update with my first impressions.

The Fronlit screen

Macro Photos:

GBC with SP Frontlight

When I had the gameboy color open, I adjusted the knob for the contrast all the way counterclockwise for the most contrast and it really didn't help much.

During my first attempt to install the fronlight one of the wires came off of the solder point of the frontlight unit itself. No tugging or hard pulling, but a gentle pull and the wire came right off. Might have just been a first batch sort of error in quality

The wires used look fairly identical to the wires used with the backlight kits also available through kitsch.

First Impressions:

It's fairly washed out. It reduces the clarity of the screen and legibility fairly considerably.

The original LSDj color scheme for the color is barely legible. The best setting I found was the "Grey" color scheme for LSDj. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't getting any better than that.

The dimples that are built-into the surface of the frontlight panel material is what helps refract the light onto the screen... but it also makes the screen hard to see.

It does the job. It is not for everyone though.

The only other options available on the market to my understanding would be the lighting/magnifier attachments for the gbc, cannibalize a AGS-001 SP, hold an LED flashlight in your mouth or have really decent lighting.

How could the product be improved

If there was any other material that could be used for the frontlight panel. Something with maybe half as many dimples to help with the clarity. I'm certain that half as many dimples would still refract enough usable light. The panel used didn't seem like it was made for the purpose of front lighting a GBC specifically. The second batch would definitely benefit from a different frontlight panel material selection.

What am I going to do now?

I'm going to mess around with it for a week or so. As of right now I am not all that happy with the product. The clear and crisp definition of the GBC screen is what I really enjoy about it, and this frontlight unit pretty much kills that. It does what it advertises it would do, but I don't know if it's a trade off I'm willing to work with personally.

At the end of the week, if I am still not happy with it, I most likely will just uninstall and use a LED head strap lamp and call it a day.

Modification of the product

You can add resistors to the kit to lower the brightness of the frontlight.

The Septavox ,  from synthmakers Critter and Guitari ,  is a digital synthesizer with wooden keys and rich sounds.  It has a very distinctive,  almost analog sound,   and can often times sound very much like an old video game!  I hope to incoroprate the Septavox in to my own chipmusic,  and so I thought others in the community might be interested to hear of its merits.

Price

Let's get the bad news out of the way first:  Unfortunately,  the Septavox has a pretty hefty price tag... $395 to be exact (plus shipping),  which is out of reach for a lot of music enthusiasts. 

The good news is that gets you a pretty cool @$$ synth!  This is a boutique,  handmade (in the USA) synth with custom parts that is both unique and spectacular sounding.  Worth every penny in my opinion!

Ease of Use

The Septavox is very simple to use.  It has 7 different tones that you can choose from,  and 7 different synth modes that you can play in.  These are selected by the buttons on either side of the knobs.  To make things easy to remember,  each tone and mode is designated by the color of it's adjacent led.  After playing with the Septavox for a day or so,  you will have these memorized and will be able to quickly bring up the sort of sounds you want to create with it.

As for the knobs,  the first two control parameters specific to each synth mode.  The next knob controls tuning,  and the last knob is a volume control.  Simple! 

The instructions are handily available on the back of the synth. 

Availability

The Septavox is only available from (Jack White's) Third Man Records.  I believe it is limited edition,  though stock should last for a long time,  according to Third Man staff.

Aestetics/ergonomics

The Septavox comes in 2 color combinations: a yellow enclosure with black knobs,  or a black enclosure with yellow knobs.  I prefer the black one,  but the yellow one looks pretty rad too.

The wooden buttons are charming,  though it is sort of an odd looking synth with them.   Also fun,  is how they sort of click and clack as you play.  Personally,  I find these buttons extremely easy to play... (Incidentally,  they are about the size of Gameboy buttons) and they do not hurt my wrists to play like typical keys.

The 41 keys give you a nice range to play in,  and this range can be extended with either the tuning knob,  or you can even set up the pitch range at startup by holding down either the tone or the mode button.

Size/Portability

It's size makes it fairly portable.  Of course it's not as small as it's predecessor,  the Pocket Piano
,  but at about 3x18 inches with 41 keys and a built in speaker,  it's pretty compact.  Weighs about 2 pounds.

It can run on four AA batteries or the included wall wart.

Durability

Built like a tank.  The aluminum enclosure is super strong so it will probably never break.  I'm not sure what a drop to the ground would do to it's guts though,  and I'm not going to find out!  Knobs are sturdy,  yet easy to tweak. 

I might add some rubber feet to the bottom so It doesn't get scratched up and so it will have better table top traction.   

There is also no battery cover,  but I am okay with that.  Batteries have not fallen out once.

It does come with a 1 year warranty in case anything should go wrong with it.

Sound Quality

Sounds great.  The built in Speaker gets really loud or you can use the 1/4" monophonic output jack if you want to plug it into your amp,  mixer,  or effects.

There are so many great sounds that you can achieve with different combinations of the modes,  tones,  and knob adjustments... It is really amazing and really inspires creativity.  Each knob uses only 2 parameters and these limits can enhance creativity as well.  Honestly,  I find it to be the funnest synth I have ever had!

The tones range from very smooth sounding sine waves to dirty sounding square waves and even some FM synthesis sounds.  The modes include 2 beautiful arpeggiators,  a slicer mode which sounds sort of glitchy,  a vibrato mode,  a swell mode,  pipe glide,  and slide mode.  The sounds vary widely within each mode as you use the 2 parameter knobs to craft your sound just as you want.  You can easilly acheive traditional sorts of sounds as well as weird sounds and distorted noises with the twist of a knob.

Other

Has midi in and midi out,  if you're into that sort of thing.

In conclusion,  I think a lot of chipmusic fans would enjoy this synth because of the different sounds it can create,  and for the overall fun quality of it. 

Now that you've learned a little bit about it I would recommend hearing it!  I am going to try and post a video soon,  but in the meantime you can check youtube for Septavox or Pocket Piano videos to get an idea of what they sound like (the 2 are very similar and even share some tones and modes).

I hope you've enjoyed this review and found it to be entertaining/useful.  Thanks for reading!

Pictures by me except for the one depicting both colors of the Septavox,  that one's from Third Man's site.

Hey guys. Found a good review on some rechargeable batteries and charger I had never heard of before. They seem like a great option if they can withstand being put through their paces inside high power photography flashes and whatnot. I'm sure they could keep a heavily modded DMG alive for quite a while too.

Ease of Use
Very simple to understand and control! The added tactile controls do wonders for the usability of the Shruthi interface. Menus jump to display values when potentiometers are changed. A solid 90% of editable parameters are given unique, tactile controls, making a very fast interface for programming sounds. some features are a bit puzzling to me. i don't really understand the purpose of the "jam" function, and I would honestly prefer something like portamento controls instead (notably absent from the front panel), but overall a huge improvement over the original shruthi.

Price
very expensive the kit with the enclosure ended up costing me around $500. This is about 3 and a half times more than the regular shruthi. that being said I've found the editable parameter controls on the XT to make this a more viable synth to use live, so i haven't ended up regretting the added bones.

Availability
Still in stock as a kit at mutable as far as I can tell. If not, they tend to restock pretty regularly. Fairly easy build, knocked it out in a day.

Durability
I'm not IN LOVE with the acrylic case design, but it's easy to assemble, and seems sturdy enough if you treat it right. The pots end up being fairly solid, and have managed to withstand more abuse than some of my Roland stuff (pesky dr. sample pots)

Sound Quality
A lot could be said here. the synth shines in the bass frequencies, with the analog filter giving a suitably authentic and extreme sound. The digital oscillators allow for an enormous amount of waveform options and customizability. it's a great synth to make interesting and whacky digital sounds and then dial in analog filter edge to taste. that being said, there are some nasty aliasing issues in the higher notes on this synth. I've found it to be particularly difficult to program above C5, where the pleasing rough edges in the bass sounds become cutting and harsh in their upper harmonics.

Its interface allows for more digital/chippy sounds than you might see on a traditional synthesizer. There are some interesting possibilities contrasting lo-fi chippy material with the traditional synth filter. I've had a lot of funs blurring some chip sounds stylistically.

Aestetics/ergonomics
Very cool looking design! screen is bright and easy to read. the knobs look especially electronic legit, mess with them live if you want your friends to think you're v talented.

Size
surprisingly small. is as capable as something like the korg ms2000r, yet manages to be almost a quarter of the size.

Portability
Lightweight, size makes it easy to get around. requires a standard barrel type 9v adapter. no batteries or headphone out on this sucker.

Sustainability
seems like a one shot deal. build it and you're set. might have some trouble sourcing a few of the parts if they go bad, but mutable does a very good job documenting the build list.

Sync-ability
Very midi syncable! nearly every parameter is controllable. has a midi thru with is nice as well. no CV, but who really thought there'd be CV on this.

Compliency
Strictly DIN 5 midi as far as I can tell. no usb or w/e.

Integration
Has a simple onboard sequencer and arp with can be sent to MIDI out, can do some neat stuff sending CC messages from the knobs, and allows for multiple shruthis to be polychained for polyphonic shruthi stuff if that's your dig.

Ease of Modification
Very easy to modify! Some particularly useful mods are actually build into the PCB of the SMR4 MKII including options for changing the filter curve and style. The holes in the sides of the acrylic case are great for mounting extra switches and bits.

Personal Experiences
Replaced my regular Shruthi with this one, and I don't regret. Was admittedly a bit expensive, but the ease of use is such an important factor for me. It has eliminated so much time I spent menu surfing and is honestly just more fun. using this guy live is a dream as well,

Ease of Use

The USB-Boy connects to your computer via a mini-USB cable (the same we use for the EMS USB carts) and to your DMG with a link cable. The device is very easy to use and I was able to get the drivers installed and running with Ableton Live in under 5 minutes. The manual is a single sheet of paper and though it might not sound like much, it provides you with all of the information you need to use the USB-Boy.

Price

I purchased my USB-Boy from Thursday Customs for $80.00 and $7.00 shipping. In comparison to similar products, this is the most affordable Gameboy MIDI device I have ever seen.

Availability

There are two versions of the USB-Boy available. The ones with white cases and white LEDs are available at thursdaycustoms.com and the ones with the black cases and blue LEDs are available at store.kitsch-bent.com. As far as I am aware, both versions had a run of 50 units each. I am not positive if more batches will be made in the future.

Durability

I will admit that I was quite skeptical about the durability of the USB-Boy due to it's small size and open case design. Much to my delight, the unit is well constructed and feels sturdy. Now I'm not recommending that you abuse your USB-Boy but I would imagine that it could handle being dropped and being tossed in a gig bag. I'm personally opting to keep it in a padded pencil case or small plastic box during my travels.

Sound Quality

N/A as the USB-Boy is a MIDI device.

Aestetics/ergonomics

For being as small as it is, the USB-Boy is a sleek little unit. It's simple and to the point. I use it mainly to send clock signals to my DMG from Ableton and the LED's on the USB-Boy blink in time with the music. It's a nice little touch and makes my studio setup (which already has numerous other things that light up and blink) even more fun to look it.

Size

The unit measures 1.75" x 1.1" wide by 0.75" tall...so it's quite tiny. I don't think that anyone would have difficulty adding it to their setup.

Portability

Again, because of its small size, the USB-Boy can fit in your pocket. The unit gets power via the USB cable and does not require any additional power source or wall adapter.

Sustainability

N/A as the USB-Boy is powered via USB

MIDI Clock, DIN Sync, Clock Trigger

It can be used to send and receive MIDI data and clock sync signals to and from a DMG and your favorite music software.

Personal Experiences

I love my USB-Boy. It's very easy to use and is quickly becoming one of my favorite pieces of gear.

Personal Experiences
Sounds great and it is super compact. It is ideal for live performers who need one stereo source for their main audio, and 1 other stereo source for a backup source or something else to use in conjunction with your main audio feed. However, the 2nd set of stereo inputs does not have any EQ knobs. That is pretty much the only thing I could negatively say about this mixer. But for someone who wants to play keyboard/synth live over a backing track coming from a computer/gameboy, etc then it would be ok. You would just be able to EQ one source only. Still a great quality mixer!

2 in / 4 out USB audio interface

Specifications:

http://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-inter … ifications

Ease of Use

Pretty straightforward. Check senstivity, check if you need phantom power. Plug in and go.

Price

I got mine used for 100 Euro in a new condition. Should be no problem the get i via Ebay for something like 129 Dollar new or cheaper used.

Availability

Don't think that it is still in production.

Durability

Smooth potis, buttons do a a little quiet click sound when pressed. Metal enclosure, sockets for midi, audio etc. are unfortunately direct soldered to the board. But so far, no problems with that. Comes with plastic pads, u should use them. otherwise it will slip easily over the table.

Sound Quality

No Problems with noise, distortion etc. It's my first real interface, i had a tascam us-122 mk1 which was really sh** compared to the focusrite.
The Interface won a user sound blind test made by the german site musotalk.de with competitors like Motu Ultralite MK3, RME Fireface, Metric Halo ULN8. Here's a link to the test:
http://www.musotalk.de/video/audio-inte … dhoertest/

Aestetics/ergonomics

I just love the minimal design. All you need is directly accesable via the interface. There's no software mixer, but u can change buffer size and resolution in a software panel. Smooth metal enclosure, no sharp edges. Looks very profesionell, LED's are not too bright.

Size

Not really large, not heavy but also not really lightweight.
W = 220 mm / 8 ¾", H = 45 mm / 1 ¾" , D = 145 mm / 5 ¾"
1 kg / 2.2 lbs

Portability

Power via USB, fits in a small pocket. Be carefull with the Potis, they stand out a little bit. No external power adapter.

Sustainability

Sync-ability

Midi in and Out, no external Sync option.

Compliency

USB Device, drivers are needed but up to date (osx 10,5 and windows 7, don't know if it works with Win8) last driver update was march 27 this year, when i wrote this post.

Integration

Only 1 Midi in and Out, no CV no external SYNC.

Personal Experiences

I have this one for a half of a year. I had some little trouble installing the drivers, i choosed the USB 2.0 Option but it didn't work. So i send a mail to the Focusrite Support. After an hour, i allready got an answer. The support was really helpfull but i allready figured out how to get it worked, i choosed the USB 1.0 driver option. The device is "only" USB 1.0 so it didn't matter.

I use it for chiptune and for direct guitar recording. Absolutly zero problems with audio and midi, it works like a charm. I wanted a simple, portable and sturdy interface with good preamps and i just got what i asked for. I love the fact that there's no software mixer so there's no need to togle to the cubase window and back to the software mixer and back to the cubase window...

I only use it at home, but i wouldn't be afraid use it live.

Conclusion:

Lots of bang for little money. Only 2 channel input and only 1 Midi In/Out but if that's enough for you, get it!

Pros:

- Sturdy design
- Good preamps
- Great support
- drivers are up to date
- (almost everything accesable via the interface)

Cons:

- Sockets direct soldered to the board
- Only small plastic pads, if you don't use them, very slippery on the table
- (no software mixer)

Cerwin Vega CVM-1022

4 Mic/line inputs (with inserts on channel 1 and 2)
2 sets of stereo inputs
Aux sends, 1/4 inch for main outs
Tape in/Tape out (RCA), headphone out

I bought one used from Guitar Center in excellent condition for $80. They sell for $150 new

Ease of Use

Very easy to use and the layout is similar to any other mixer you have probably seen. Everything is pretty straight forward.

Price

Excellent price for what are getting. Yes it is a little bit more money than other brands with these same features, and there are no built-in effects, but it's design and quality is worth it.

Availability

Easily bought online, or sold at SAM ASH stores (new)

Durability

I like the build quality of it. The knobs are solid/tight. This mixer is my main one for gigs now and I have no problems/issues with it's design or quality.

Aesthetics/ergonomics

It's a standard mixer design.  I do like how there are no faders/sliders and just knobs. I feel faders can be easily knocked and moved when performing live by accident. The knobs are great since they tend to be more "stable."

Size

Small and compact! Approximately 10in by 12 in. I gig with a 61-key keyboard case. It fits my 49 key synth and this mixer and all cabling/direct boxes, etc no problem.

Portability

Very portable, but only runs on power supply provided.

Personal Experiences

I've gigged out twice with it so far and will continue to do so. It sounds great, has a nice EQ section and I enjoy it most because of it's size. For anyone looking into a small compact mixer and need 4 mic level inputs (and/or 2 stereo inputs), I recommend checking out the Cerwin Vega CVM-1022. However I do have one small gripe with this mixer. The "CTRLROOM/PHONES" output and the "MAIN L/R" outputs are not independent of each other. So this means if you wanted to bring your own monitors to have on stage, and send a stereo signal to the house sound it can be a little inconvenient.  In order to have any signal be sent out of the "CTRLROOM/PHONES" the "MAIN L/R" has to be turned up. The "CTRLROOM/PHONES" output must be feeding off the main output. The work around is to just use the MAIN OUTS for your monitors and turn up the mains to your liking, then turn up the "CTRLROOM/PHONES" output until the soundguy is happy with the incoming signal.

Thought I'd kick this off with a useful bit of gear that I got today, the Casio VL-1. Despite my short time in ownership, I've used it for over 8 hours already, so am aware of what it can do.

.

Ease of Use

Very easy to use the basic functions (playing it, using the calculator) however sequencing takes a little getting used to.

Price

Well, seeing as it's a keyboard from 1980, the price varies. Mine was a present, but I have been informed that it was rather cheap from a second hand store, and a quick search has found them going for less than a tenner. Certainly worth the price for what it is.

Availability

As a "Vintage" or "Retro" item it could be thought of as desirable, but not to difficult to get your hands on, I tend to think that if I have one, it isn't that rare. 90% of the time it is true, and this is no exception. You can probably pick them up rather cheaply for not that much at charity shops/carboot sales/thrift shops/yard sales/whatever.

Durability

It's a second hand keyboard that's roughly 33, apart from some understandable wear and tear (the odd scratch) it's in pretty good nick. No buttons or anything have come off, and it can probably survive a bit of beating, due to its bulk. Not suggesting you throw it around like it's invincible, but it has that kind of feel that my old nokia does, like you can drop it a few times without it breaking.

Aesthetics/ergonomics

It looks very 80's, that could be a turn on for some, but a turn off for others. It's very bulky, but a neat kind of bulky. As for alternative colour options, that's mostly going to be due to the amount that the previous owner smoked, It comes in the colours "White" "Yellow-white" and "Browny-white." It isn't massively comfortable to use, as it doesn't have standard white keys, it has buttons where the keys are. They can be a little uncomfortable to play for a while at a time due to their pointy-nes.

Size

Despite it feeling a little bulky, it should be easy enough to take to gigs, it is quite long due to the large speaker. It's roughly the same depth as DMG, maybe a little thicker, maybe a little thinner.

Portability

It can run on the standard amount of 4xAA, or a 9volt AC adapter. As mentioned before, it's a reasonably decent size to bring with you to gigs/to the studio/on the bus.

Sustainability (Batteries, Tapes, Etc.)

If you're using batteries, you may have to keep buying them, this is where my limited time in ownership does not pay off. I would suggest buying rechargeable batteries anyway, especially if you're an LSDJ/DMG user anyway.

Sync-ability (MIDI Clock, DIN Sync, Clock Trigger)

no, but you can sequence notes.

Compliancy (USB Device, MIDI Device, OS X/Win, x86/PPC)

no, it just works

Integration (CV Control, MIDI Data)

no

Ease of Modification

Probably quite easy, typing "casio vl-1" into google brings up "casio vl-1 circuit bent" as one of the potential searches. I haven't researched bending it very heavily as it doesn't appeal to me, however there may be enough of a following for there to be places to by parts to mod it. As for making your own mods, if you know what you're doing then you probably can.

Personal Experiences

Pretty damn good so far, due to only have one channel of sound playing at the same time, it's going to help me vastly in writing ZX Spectrum music due to the limitations. It so far has helped me realize that I get bogged down trying to do both channels at the same time, and taking my time with a device like this can be very beneficial. Only having one channel may not appeal to some people, which is understandable. Oh yeah, the calculator is pretty decent as well.
