Oberheim OB-Xa Demos by Danielle

"Vectors" OB-Xa- by Danielle
Published on Nov 20, 2012 by TheSynthFreq
"New OB-Xa improvisation with a Saw/Square wave patch, 4-pole VCF sens. :)"

"Mercury"- OB-Xa patch demo by Danielle
Published on Nov 20, 2012 by TheSynthFreq
"Greetings :) Here is a patch written for the OB-Xa, massive synthesizer. This patch has a long release time in the amplifier ADSR, with a delicate sine wave LFO to add some dimension and motion to this sound. The depth of the Sine-LFO is kept mild. Fc mild as well. With the OB-Xa, the Fc and the Fc Mod are linked together, almost as if there are two frequency knobs."

Massive strings- OB-Xa patch demo by Danielle
Published on Nov 20, 2012 by TheSynthFreq
"OB-Xa is capable of some massive lush analogue strings similar to Jupiter-8. OB-Xa has a more aggressive sound but its capable of very soft, heart warming string patches. :)"

"Lo-Fi Audio Trasher, courtesy of a Circuit Bent Voice Changer.

Marvel in wonderment as a once innocent toy gets to work, by filthy-ing up my voice before working it's grainy digital magic on an old Drum Machine.

Do you want one?

Get to ebay and Buy It Now....... Help me fund some x-mas shopping :)"

MacBeth 37 Key C-C Touch Plate Keyboard Controller Section

via Ken MacBeth on Facebook

"74 Transistors, 400 Hex Inverter, 400 Quad Bi-Lateral Switches, 111 Capacitors, 79 Diodes, 185 Resistors...make up the 37 Key C-C Touch Plate Keyboard Controller Section. This is the vintage way!"

Access Virus Snow TI Black Edition

"The Virus TI series comes in different flavors. You're looking for something ultra compact and yet powerful? The sturdy Virus TI Snow features exactly the same sound engine like its bigger Virus TI brothers. It fits on an issues of Time magazine and has proven itself to be an ideal companion for musicians on the road or with limited desktop estate.

The Snow features 4 multimode parts and about 50% of the polyphony in comparison to the bigger models. Those result in everything in between 10 and 50 voices cranking out the same powerful signature sound like all other Virus TIs. Each and every voice can use up to four oscillators in parallel including Virtual Analogue, Wavetable, HyperSaw and Grain Oscillator models. The filter section comprises two independent multi-mode filters with optional Mini Moog emulation and self-resonance. An extensive array of parallel effects enable you to compose highly complex sounds in virtually no time.

In Multi mode, your patches sound 100% identical and include all of the effects. The 4 independent parts can be routed to 1 Stereo Analogue or 3 USB outputs streaming audio directly into your sequencer workstation. The software suite includes a VST, RTAS and AU compatible plug-in allowing for total recall, sample-accurate timing and modern automation features.

The audio inputs and outputs can be optionally used as a sound card in your sequencer. The hardware knobs can be used to either control the Virus' sound engine or compatible third party software plug-ins."

Archangel Keyboard Control Demo

Published on Nov 20, 2012 by suitandtieguy
"In this video i demonstrate a couple of keyboard control modes available on the Archangel which we added in the final hardware revision. These allow you to transpose and scale shift the Archangel's sequencer.

I neglected to mention in the video that the bass sound here was a couple of sawtooth waves with a suboctave from the Pulse Matrix, filtered by the Sea Devils Filter.

My cat Blacula makes a cameo at 3.15."

SCHULTE COMPACT PHASING A - RARE GERMAN KRAUT ROCK PHASER

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"The Compact Phasing "A" was made in Berlin by Gerhardt Schulte.

This rare item was used heavily by Krautrock bands and electronic musicians including:
Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Oskar Sala, Jon Lord, Rubycon, J.M. Jarre, Pink Floyd...

It´s possible to use it in a very subtle way, but it´s more interesting
when you play with the knobs to get more deep, dramatic and esoteric tones.


This is the rare white version. The unit is in very good working condition and comes with a footswitch.
You need the switch to get the Leslie-like brake sounds as you can start and stop the LFO with it.

The red light on the left strobes in time with the effect !

Amazing sounding !

It uses 220V power, but there´s a jumper inside that you can switch to 110V."

Dem Jamz 3: MT32 Mania!



Published on Nov 20, 2012 by elmosexwhistle

"It's time for more Jamz! This video is based around the Roland MT32, a little black box from the mid 80's. It's the little brother of the Roland D50, is available for PEANUTS on ebay, (although that might change as soon as enough people see this video...) and, although often seen as a TOY or a cheap PC sound expander (lots of video games utilized it), it's capable of some brilliant sounds. So sit back and see what a £30 synth can do in the hands of a madman with a free DAW!

Songs:

- Dixieland Distractions
- Angsty Goth Song
- Monkey Island (Megamonkey Mix)
- Dub Vader (Skrillmaus Mix)
- Hoping & Waiting
- Dead End

Antonio Roberts (hellocatfood) for the glitchy visuals.

Kthxbye!"

CRUMAR BIT 01 Rack Analog Synthesizer SN 00134

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Compared to the keyboard version, the deep, 3U high Bit 01 (which came in both black and ivory paint schemes) was far from being simply a repackaged Bit ONE. It was very much a ‘souped-up’ version of the instrument, with extra parameters and a dramatically improved MIDI specification. Additions included a parameter to control the maximum modulation depth applied by the mod wheel, programmable noise on DCO1, programmable detune on DCO2, and programmable volume for the complete patch."

"Rozzbox V2"


via this auction

"Customized by Killian himself, this is a rare Rozzbox V2, with an orange high-contrast OLED display, custom boot logo (pictured), and laser engraved bottom (see picture), along with a hand written note from Killian still attached. This Rozzbox V2 also comes with an even more rare Rozz MIDI Dongle, allowing for more patch storage with the flick of a switch! All of these customizations are pictured.

This is a rare opportunity to grab SN#10 of less than a few dozen that were ever made of the V2. This synth is untouchable, features wise... BBD Delays, Sequencers, SWEEPABLE, bit crusher, hack/glitch circuits, and amazingly warm tubes that lend to the Rozzbox's tremendously unique character."

Incredibly rare 1970's analogue synthesizer - the Crumar Brassman as used on legendary synth album 'Time Wind" by KLAUS SCHULZE.

http://www.klaus-schulze.com/interv/in7606.htm

It has a very spooky/strange sound - very old and mellotron like and also strangely medieval - really recalls sounds on Walter/Wendy Carlos 'switched on Bach' albums. It also reminds me a lot when you play long chords of the synths on Eno's album 'Before and After Science'".

CRUMAR BRASSMAN ANALOGUE SYNTHESIZER with fx.m4v

Rare Vintage analogue synthesizer Crumar Brassman KLAUS SCHULZE

"Incredibly rare 1970's analogue synthesizer - the Crumar Brassman as used on legendary synth album 'Time Wind" by KLAUS SCHULZE.

First of two ebay demonstrations for the sale of this synth.

This is an incredibly fat sounding synthesizer ---with an enormous bottom end. Reminds me a lot of the Moog opus --- but just bigger!

It has a very spooky/strange sound - very old and mellotron like and also strangely medieval - really recalls sounds on Walter/Wendy Carlos 'switched on Bach' albums.

First demo I have plated into logic and added a little onboard phaser and delay.

Second demo - straight into logic with no fx.

Put this through a SmallStone Electro Harmnix phaser and you have all the classic solina/logan string synth type sounds ---but you also have that crazy huge bottom end - maybe because the designers have tuned it to create those brass like bass sounds .

Unusually for string synthesizer type keyboards this has a VCF votage controlled filter - with control of low pass filter and high pass filter and envelope of that filter. Labelled as ....attack/decay/emphasis/contour ... you can go very fat or very squelchy.

2 oscillators - labelled 16' and 8' ---which you can mix to differnet levels - or use seperately.

Has a very nice vibrato also with delay.

There are also quite a few other butons labelled
sax
glide
rag
delay attack
trombone muted 1 & 2
trumpet muted 1 & 2
horn muted 1 & 2

---these activate different elements of the filter and envelope.
