Linn LM-1 LM1 Drum Machine
via this auction
"Linn LM-1 drum machine, serial # 365. These are relatively rare, as only approximately 500+ were ever built. This model was the first commercially-available EPROM-based digital drum machine with 8-bit sampled sounds.
While this is a digital drum machine that uses 8-bit EPROM based samples run through companding DACs, nothing really sounds like the LM-1. The snare and bass have a very solid fat sound, and the hi-hat is very unique: the hat sample is constantly running, and the difference between the open and closed sounds is merely a long or short analog envelope applied to the sample output, respectively. So even with metronomic triggering, the hi-hat has some ‘feel’ since the envelope is applied at varying points in the playing of the sample. I made this video to demonstrate this effect:

"We're proud to present the first in a new series of occasional production gear reviews from none other than D. Ramirez, one of the UK's finest house and tech producers and DJs. He asked us if he could send us a load of videos of him fiddling about with sexy new kit - and so here we are.
The first episode sees him get his hands on the new DSI Prophet 8 keyboard synth - especially interesting for those producers out there who have never seen an outboard synth working up close."

"Demo of my ASQ10 sequencing a quick demo I threw together in about 5 minutes. I can work fast with this thing, write drums great. It records them well unlike pcs and macs with usb midi always fucking my grooves up when recording, and playing them back and un-syncing them like a drunk sailor. Sure soft synths are sample accurate, but i prefer hardware. USB MIDI must DIE. Stand Alone MIDI APPS MUST COME BACK. HARDWARE SEQs have the best timing for hardware."

"Beatalogue
WFBA004
Release date Wednesday 3rd March
Format: Download
RRP £24.99 inc VAT
Beatalogue is the fourth title in Ian Boddy's Waveforms series of sample libraries. As a follow up to Drumalogue this one takes as it's starting material a selection of electronic drum patterns and loops which are then fed through Boddy's massive modular synth system. These are then filtered, mangled and generally messed up using a huge number of modules all in the analogue domain. All the loops have between 3 and 5 variations and sonically range from sweet filtering all the way through to completely crunched and twisted mayhem. The quality of the distortion and overdrive achieved using these techniques gives the loops a gorgeous organic feel which is further heightened by the sound of the modular itself with it's fuzzy warmness and tripping envelopes.
The sounds are also provided in Rex2 and Apple Loops format enabling them to be used at various tempos and dissected by the end user for their own purposes.
Technical Data
300 mono samples at 44.1Khz, 24 bit in WAV format .
All samples also provided in Rex2 & Apple Loops format.
Drum loops sourced from Logic Ultrabeat, NI Reaktor & Kontakt, Sonic Charge Micro Tonic.

Oberheim OB-X 8-Voice Analog Synthesizer (1979)
'Space Sweeps'
inspired by C. Sagan`s series COSMOS from the 80s
The Oberheim OB-X is one of the best analog poly-synths ever. A classic! The sound is stunning, organic and very powerful. The sound character (based of the discrete circuits and the SEM design VCF) is different to the later curtis chip based OB-Xa and OB-8.

MODULAR NOODLES!!!
YouTube via FatSynthDude
"So dude on Gearslutz came up with a cool idea: How many patch cables can you pop into your modular and still make a usable sound? Well, that thread kind of died real quick and I liked the idea, so I thought I would attempt to contribute. There's no way that this patch could make it up to that many cables going at once (the original poster on that thread's modular had about seventy-five cables plugged into it) as my poor neglected Dot Com is only barely about the spec for the entry system. I could have cheated and patched in my semimodular synths as well, but due to the makeup of my studio, the Dot Com is on the other side of the room from the rest of my synths and I don't currently have any 1/4"-1/8" cables, so making that happen is something that's going to have to wait a while. This mess of cables only comes in at 31 cables unfortunately. :-( Still, this is also a good video to show off the modular in and of itself with it's custom paint job and all that fun stuff.
And yes, I recorded this using the camera's mic. I'm fat. I'm lazy. I'm AWESOME!!!"

Electrocomp EML 101
via this auction
"Rare, made-in-Connecticut Electrocomp EML-101 Synthesizer in EXCELLENT **ORIGINAL** Condition. A few minor chips on the case and it's missing the handle (what else is new?) and a few of the latches are new BUT it hasn't been modded and has ALL its original knobs and the graphics are crystal clear. Only a college inventory number is scratched over the "ElectroComp" log (see in pictures).
It's been professionally renovated by www.analogsynthservice.com including ALL NEW KEYBOARD BUSHINGS and sounds and plays great. The keyboard has a few uneven keys but otherwise you have a thick "scary sounding" 4 oscillator monster with patch bay capabilities. It's temperamental for sure and NOT a synth for the faint of heart. But it's a living, breathing analog beast that, plugged through my tape echo, provided me with hours of lost-in-space musical bliss. I have a seriously killer CMS renovated 2600 and I'm hardly ever playing so it's time to let the 101 go to a good home be it studio or stage."
