Korg Mono/Poly

via this auction. Note this one is from Ben of Korg Kornucopia. More pics. "Click here to hear some mp3 audio files of the actual instrument I am auctioning (you may need to click on the 'MP4' icon that appears). I kind of threw these together without a great deal of forward planning but they hopefully go some way to demonstrate what a capable and FUN synth the Monopoly is.

The audio tracks described :
* 1.mp3 :- the Monopoly arpeggiator in full swing. I have attempted to cram as many different arpeggio modes and routing modulations as possible into 4 minutes, including portamento, FM, sync and cross modulation, VCF and pulsewidth modulations and pitch effects, as well as effects with switching off VCOs and piling them up in unison. I told you this synth is fun!

* 2.mp3 :- analogue sequencer control of the Monopoly via Trig and CV inputs (by a Frostwave Fat Controller)

* 3.mp3 :- Monopoly arpeggiator external clock control by Korg KR-55 rhythm machine. The KR-55 has various output trigger resolutions which give the different effects.

* mp4.mp3 :- More arpeggiator hell ;-) The Monopoly is fed into a Korg SE-300 tape delay and reverberation (right channel) for extra dimension."

Roland MF TB-303

via the comments of this post.

"kind of related but not the same - when I bought a "novamod" kit on the bay some years back, the guy sent me this. he would do that 303 mod himself, if you send your regular 303 over. Was from somewhere asia. Note that this is one not the devilfish thing."

May Night (Experimental) by Mark Griffith

Title link takes yo to a post on Mark Griffiths Music featuring an experimental track featuring:
"Blacet/Banalogue/Wiard with MXR Pitch transposer and very briefly a Roland SH2." "I decided to try and create something a bit more experimental and abstract using the small modular here. Problem was I don't really know the context or "rules of the game" for experiemental stuff so I decided to be guided by a couple of ideas themed around a Russian May Night."

One more shot on sequencer.de here. That's Elektroplankton on a Nintendo DS.

Sequencing_NAND_4

YouTube via misusage.
"Midi groovebox controlling xoxbox which gives gate sync to 4017counter + 4066switch sequencer (instead of the 555timer in the other examples). Again, running 4 resistors, controlling the 4NAND gate . Check my website for details."

"featuring angel, spike and the nameless black micro cat. soundtrack made with the Digisound synthesizer"

Roland RE-201 Space Echo Loop

YouTube via 123synthland.
"Here's another Roland RE201 we're just about ready to put up for sale. This no-frills clip demonstrates a 1 bar bell sequence from a Yamaha QY series mini workstation / paperweight being effected by the tape delay section of the Space Echo. Kind of brings me back to a nightmare I had where the icecream truck just wouldn't go away. :) But anyway, the first few seconds are without effect, then echo modes are manually switched and tape speed's tweaked a couple times too. We love Space Echos! Enjoy. Email us anytime at minime123@onebox.com"

OB-SX fixed

YouTube via zamisers7k. I swear the OB-SX sounds fuller than the OB-Xa. Anyone out there A/B the two? I have and the OB-SX did sound fuller, but I'm curious if it was just the two I compared.

Speak & Spell x 9

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

"I started to get into pitch bending and it was REALLYY fun and rewarding but too time consuming for me. I did one speak & spell monster that is included. It has bleeping sounds changed pitch, reset button. pretty basic but cool! So I am selling off my undoctored collection! Two of the speak & spells are the older ones with buttons."

Roland SH-3

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

"RARE ROLAND SH 3 ANALOG SYNTHESIZER. Roland infringed on Moog's filter design and was forced to cease production of this model very early resulting in very few being made.They then released the much more common SH 3 A with a different filter design.Consequently the SH 3 has become a very collectable and rare synth."

Anyone know the story behind this? True?

Image-Line Morphine Additive Soft Synth

Title link takes you to more including a downloadable demo and samples on the top right. Also check out their other soft synths to the left when you get there.

"Morphine’s 128 harmonic oscillator engine is fully optimized for producing a high quality, warm sound, with ground shaking bass and crystal clear high frequencies. Based on complex, full 32 bit mathematics, with no internal sampling to avoid interpolation noises so Morphine retains that 'analog' quality.

The oscillators are also optimized for fast amplitude and frequency modulation response for accurate tone reproduction.

The oscillator engine is not only thing that makes Morphine sound so great. With an infinite number of harmonic snapshots 'per-spectrum', and the ability to map a unique spectra for each note, you can generate a realistic and balanced sound over the entire keyboard range.

Additionally, the four generator sources can be morphed via the in-built mix/morph envelope or from an external MIDI controller. Combined with the four independent multipoint modulation envelopes, assignable to many internal parameters, you can achieve any sound, just like you imagined it.

As an ‘Easter-egg’ for the sound designers among you, Morphine provides unison and comb/pulse width filter modulation of the harmonics directly, adding even more motion to the sound.

Resynthesis
Be inspired. Resynthesis allows you to capture a complete spectrum from any audio sample, for accurate emulation of real instruments, or as a starting point for something completely new, using the in-built editing tools. Unlike the resynthesis of other additive synthesizers, Morphine provides total control so the resynthesized sounds are as close to the original sample as possible."
