Patchwork

Article from Music Technology, May 1987

Another batch of MT readers' own synth sounds. Featured this month: the Korg DW8000, Roland Jupiter 6, Yamaha DX7 and Casio CZ101.


MANY READERS ARE now supplementing their patch charts with a short demo cassette of the sounds in question, and this is really good news for our over-worked (and generally hungover) editorial team. Don't worry too much about classic performances and impeccable recording quality; just present your sounds simply and concisely - and convince us you're the best of the bunch. If you can't lay your hands on a cassette player, don't let that put you off submitting some patches - an interesting description is a good substitute.

And if you're still waiting to see your particular synth featured in these pages, then why not be the first to submit some sounds?

Don't forget that if your patch gets published, you'll receive a free year's subscription to MUSIC TECHNOLOGY with our compliments. So send us your favourite sounds on a photocopy of an owner's manual chart (coupled with a blank one for artwork purposes) accompanied, if possible, by a short demo-tape. Include a decent-length description of your sound and its musical purpose in life, and write your full name and address on each chart. And remember, edited presets are all very well, but an original masterpiece is always preferable. OK?

KORG DW8000 - Rivendell


Paul Nagle, Preston, Lancs


An extract from Paul's latest album, Wilderlands, due out later in the year, has made its way into the MT offices. One of the tracks, 'Rivendell', features a classy lead string sound which Paul describes as "a good sound for melodic playing. It's nice as a layered MIDI sound, say alongside a piano, and the touch-sensitivity only cuts through with heavy fingering." One free prescription on its way...

YAMAHA DX7 - Axe


Robert Turnbull, Paisley, Scotland

Robert's 'Axe' demo did such a good job at impersonating a screaming guitar, no-one at MT guessed it was generated by a DX7. 'Axe' could be just what you need for playing raving guitar-like solos on your remote keyboard stage front, and proficient use of pitch-bend will attract even greater admiration (and probably a few phone numbers, too). Don't be shy with this one...

ROLAND JUPITER 6 - Ford's Fender


Ford Elliott, Folkestone, Kent


There's a definite accent on axes this month, and 'Ford's Fender' typifies the sound made famous by sixties heroes the Shadows. Being one half of a duo comprising keyboards/bass, Ford Finds it useful for impersonating a nonexistent guitarist. And if rock 'n' roll's your cup of tea, you'll get the beat going with this one.

CASIO CZ101 - Nightporter


S D Fletcher, Notts

'Nightporter' was programmed (surprise, surprise) in an attempt to recreate the mood of the Satie-influenced Japan song of the same name. If the sound comes across rather too sweetly for your taste, reduce the Fine Detune to around 09 for a more piano-like sound. Some slow modulation delayed to the tail-end of the sound adds a different dimension, too.

Patch Files

For all the patch charts published in these magazines, we'd like to get audio demos, and if possible, sysex files, or plugin presets, so users can easily preview the patches alongside the chart and download them for their synths, without having to transcribe them first.

So, it would be helpful for the hardware we don't own, if others could transcribe some patches, and create a short audio demo of the patch, and if possible, sysex and/or plugin preset files for those patches, and upload them using the form on the articles featuring those patches.

Audio previews:
Max 4MB, preferably 5-20 secs in length, MP3 format only. You can make previews using the original hardware, and/or plugin emulations. Let us know what they are in the comments of your upload.

Sysex files:
Zipped *.syx files, containing just the patch entry (or entries) for one patch listing.

Plugin presets:
Many synths have plugin emulations which can recreate or import sounds from the hardware. Zip up a file of the formats you can generate, and let us know which instruments they are for in the comments of your upload. Host/DAW files such as FXB/FXP and AUpreset are fine, as are proprietry file formats for particular plugins. The more formats we can provide, the more useful the files are. If you can just download some patches and create some formats we don't already have and upload them, that's also helpful.

We'll be transcribing and providing what we can, but we'd be grateful for people who'd like to help with this - thanks!

Thanks for the upload!

Your upload will be checked and once verified will be added to this page - we'll notify you when your upload goes live. You may continue to add more files if you'd like.

Thanks for helping us add value to the archive!
