Retrolinear shared this video overview and demo of their new clone of the Yamaha CS-80 synth voice card.
The new card is designed to be a true functional clone of the CS voice card, so it’s physically compatible with the original and functionally equivalent. Based on their initial testing, they say it’s sonically indistinguishable from the original, but it has more stable tuning.
They haven’t said anything about plans for the cards, but the cards could be used to restore vintage synths, used to improve on the original’s tuning stability, or be used to create true Yamaha CS clone.
Today, Ableton released a new podcast series called Doing Music, which explores the techniques and strategies that artists use to generate their musical ideas. In each episode, host Craig Schuftan interviews an artist about the hands-on approaches they use to spark ideas in their work – and try to challenge the myth that creativity is something that some people have and others don’t.The podcast is for anyone with an interest in making music. Listeners will get to hear insights from artists on how they stay active in their creative field, and over the course of the series can build a toolkit of practices that can help them spark new ideas too.
The first three episodes will be released on today and feature YouTube sensation Cavetown, producer and vocalist Sofia Kourtesis and Equinoxx founder Gavsborg. Following episodes will be released every two weeks and can be found on all podcast platforms.
