Samples From Mars SH5 From Mars MULTIFORMAT

The King of the Legendary SH Series
The top line of the revolutionary SH series is rarely talked about, yet it includes some of the most powerful synthesizers of all time. There’s the SH-101, SH1, SH-3A, SH-7… the list goes on. And while these synths are all excellent sounding in their own right, the SH-5 is undoubtedly the King, with its huge oscillators, multimode filters, extensive modulation possibilities and a brilliant mixer at the heart of it all. In our opinion, the SH-5 is one of this company’s greatest mono synths of all time.

Voice Architecture and History
Produced from 1976 – 1981, the SH5 is similar to the highly sought after System 100 / 700 modular units. It’s built around huge, raw analog oscillators and tough multimode filters that don’t lose bass when you crank up the resonance (unlike the SH-7). There’s also a resonant bandpass filter which can be used in parallel for amazing results.

Add a white / pink noise generator, ring modulation, sample and hold, semi modular LFOs, strong and weak oscillator sync, and it’s no wonder this synth can cover such a wide range of territory. It’s capable of everything from Human League to Hallucinogen and so much more. But genres aside, the SH-5 is a powerhouse of punch, with unbeatable bass, monstrous leads and wild FX.

The Sampling Process
The SH5 we sampled is in excellent condition and tuned to near perfection (OK, the lowest octave is a little off but this actually sounded pretty cool). As with all of our synth sampling efforts, we recorded many of the patches with no processing, so that the true character of the synth could shine. For other patches, however, we went over the top with analog distortion, saturating through tubes, tape, guitar pedals, hardware EQs and analog filters, and finally through Apogee conversion. This combination of recording techniques gives the instruments the widest sonic range possible.

The Parallel Bandpass Trick
The resonant bandpass filter can give you a super punchy and aggressive midrange, or a shockingly deep bass boost, depending on where you’ve set the cutoff. By sending one oscillator to the bandpass filter (with the resonance cranked), and the other oscillator straight to the VCA or lowpass filter, we were able to achieve some of the warmest but simultaneously aggressive basses we’ve ever heard. No other synth at this time (or now?) was capable of this type of processing. In fact, after using this technique extensively we read a Human League interview where they describe how discovering this bandpass filter changed their entire synth sound – pretty much the same experience we had.

In the following example, 6 different bandpass filter cutoffs were multi-sampled and modulated via keyboard velocity.

Another cool technique we used was taking the headphone output and re-routing it back into the audio input to give us over the top harmonic distortion and a kind of vowel shape to the filter.

Huge Polyphony
It may seem obvious but perhaps the best part about sampling this monster was transforming it from a mono synth into a beautiful polyphonic keyboard, capable of lush chords, dark pads, analog vibraphones and insane polyphonic soundscapes. In the following example we recorded two slightly different patches separately (adjusting pitch, LFO and filter) and then panned the results to get an enormous chord progression.

Needless to say, the SH-5 is a legend. The beauty of this synth is that it can sound classic or modern with ease. Head over to the demos for a better sense of the types of instruments we were able to build with this beast.

Samples From Mars SDSV From Mars MULTIFORMAT

One of the Biggest and Most Characterful Analog Drum Synths
Released in 1981, the Simmons SDSV was the world’s first electronic analog drumkit and still remains the biggest and most characterful Simmons to this day. The oscillators sound ridiculously big, with almost an overload of bass and the same Curtis filters used on the SP-1200 and Voyetra enclose the entire sound in vintage warmth.

The First of its Kind
While other drum synths existed before it (Synare, Pearl Syncussion, etc), no units had allowed for extensive editing of the individual components that make up a drum sound. At the heart of any acoustic drum sound two primary elements come into play – pitched tone and un-pitched noise, and the SDSV was the first analog drum unit to give users access to these parameters that we now use and take for granted every day.

The SDSV can be filled with 8 different drum modules and shipped with Kick, Snare and Toms (the same modules in the unit we sampled, which was in beautiful condition and owned by a former Simmons engineer). Each module uses fully discrete analog circuits and contains a variable triangle wave oscillator (with controls for pitch, pitch bend, and more) a super powerful noise generator and the famous SSM2044 4 pole VCF filter (Voyetra, SP1200) which can be used to warm up and tame the white noise signal.

The Sound
The raw oscillators sound absolutely enormous, with an unwieldy amount of low end (we recommend slight high pass filtering on these samples since we couldn’t bring ourselves to cut any frequency content from the sounds). In fact, for 90% of the sounds, we applied no processing whatsoever, just API or Neve preamp to tape, through Apogee conversion. This allowed us to preserve the natural color and musical saturation of the unit (leaving the subtractive part to you).

We recorded many variations of each drum voice, adjusting the tone, noise amount, filter, decay, and pitch bend. We then re-played the tape back at half and double speed, capturing even more tuning variations.

Massive Toms and Kicks
The Kick and Toms can be used as huge analog kickdrums, ranging from short and punchy disco kicks to 808 style (no pitch bend) and 909s. And if you’re after that classic power rock / disco / reggae / syn tom, we captured many variations of that as well.

The flat (no pitch bend) Toms and kicks were tuned with a guitar tuner, and we captured every note possible so you can play very cool basslines, melodic kickdrums and soft triangle wave melodies (check the demo, which uses only SDSV samples).

Cutting Snares, Hi Hats & Cymbals
The noise oscillator is very powerful and cuts through a mix no matter how you use it – as a techno hi hat, analog snare, white noise cymbal, or FX. The snare is also capable of 808 / 909 vibe depending on the shaping used.

Finally, by playing back the snare and white noise at half speed on our tape machine, we achieved some really tough sounding DX style claps, various percussion sounds and FX that the original unit was not capable of on its own.

Expand Your Collection of Analog Drums
This is a great library of samples if you’re looking to expand your analog drum game into more unique territory than the standard 808 / 909. Although the SDSV is perhaps most popular for its role in 80s rock, it is equally at home in the modern electronic producer’s studio as a secret weapon for deep analog groove.
