Sequential Pro 3 – Moogish Inspired Sounds [Model D] | Custom Presets [Sound Demo]

video upload by R6Synths

"Sequential Pro 3 – Moogish Sounds - Part 1.
My personal collection of Moog inspired Analog Sounds dedicated to the Sequential Pro 3.

The Mini Moog has influenced generations. As a lover of 70s progressive rock, I've admired the Mini Moog's sound since I first started listening to music.

These patches are inspired by the lovely book: Minimoog Sound Charts by Tom Rhea.

To maintain the original spirit of the Model D, these presets are loaded without effects; however, you can activate them as they are configured to enhance the sounds.

Enjoy—you have a great synthesizer in your hands!

Explore my available presets here: https://www.r6synths.com

No EQ. No compression – just the pure sound of the Pro 3."

GLT Audio PM-80 Yamaha CS-80 MIDI Controller

via GLT Audio

For many musicians, owning a CS-80 synthesizer is a dream that’s out of reach - both financially and in terms of required maintenance. While today’s VST replicas sound remarkably close, the true spirit of the CS-80 only comes alive when you have all controls at your fingertips. That’s why GLT Audio created the “Poor Man’s CS-80” — the PM-80, featuring 75 dedicated faders and a ribbon controller, offering an inspiring hands-on experience.

75 silk-smooth faders

30 cm ribbon controller

6 high quality waveform toggle switches

Slim table-top metal enclosure

Well connected

Power and MIDI-out over USB-C

MIDI-out over 3.5mm jack

Expression pedal input (converts to MIDI)

CV and Gate out, assigned to the ribbon controller

Magnetic overlays to play other virtual instruments

Use cases
Map the PM-80 to your favorite CS-80 VST, such as Cherry Audio's GX-80, Softube's Model 77, Arturia's CS-80 V, Xils Lab's The Eighty, Morphoice's Unstable or Memorymoon ME80.
Use the PM-80 for other VSTs, by adapting it's parameters using magnetic labels.
Control a virtual audio mixer. (eg. 24 x level, 24 x pan, 27 faders for effects)
Control hardware directly in a DAWless setup, using the MIDI DIN output (even allowing SysEx on customized firmware).
Connect to your Eurorack: the ribbon controller outputs to CV and Gate.
As a powerful generic MIDI controller, the PM-80 can even be used for applications like DMX light control and VJing.
Product details
75 high quality silk-smooth 30mm faders by Alps Alpine (all without detents).
30 cm ribbon controller.
6 high quality waveform toggle switches and 3 slide switches.
1 special switch: while pressed you control 75 additional CCs.
Slim table-top metal enclosure with screen printed metal faceplate and rubber feet.
We will share the source code, allowing firmware customization by the user.
Dimensions of the enclosure: 410mm x 205mm x 20mm.
Designed and assembled in the The Netherlands.

Connections
Power and MIDI over USB-C
3.5mm TRS MIDI-out (Type A)
3.5mm TRS CV & gate out (assigned to the ribbon controller)

Delphium cover on RX5 and TX802

video upload by Collector Current

"In this video I show you how I made a cover of the Aphex Twin song 'Delphium' from the album Selected Ambient Works 85-92.

Just like with my cover of 'Aegispolis', I used the Yamaha RX5 with custom samples loaded on an RX5USB board, and a Yamaha TX802 sequenced by the Roland MSQ-700.

No mention of what the Michael Angelo reference is to. Guessing it's a custom skin. Michelangelo is supposed to be one word if it's a reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, though. If anyone knows, feel free to comment. I'm not finding anything online. Just thought it was an interesting color and an interesting skin to capture in the archives.
