"Well maintained classic analog synthesizer Teisco 110F.
Cosmetically and technically the unit is in very good condition. I would say near mint.
It has been recently serviced by a pro :
Keyboard and keyboard contacts cleaned
Slide pots cleaned, and rejuvenated with caig products (non corrosive/non agressive)
New power cord
New hard wood side panels, sprayjob with professional car paint matching original colour and size (the originals where plywood and sensitive to chipping of the corners)
All functions work, no bad contacts, all switches and pots work fluently."
According to the listing: "THIS IS THE FIRST ONE EVER MADE!!!! Serial number 00001!!!!!!!
This synth powers on, produces a signal, but it definitely needs a full servicing/cleaning. There are 2 screws missing on the left panel, as well as 2 colored knobs on the front switches (see photos).
37 keys, measuring 29 1/2" x 10" x 4 1/4"
Featuring dedicated sliders for low and high pass filters. 2 sliders for ADSR and a switch for each separate effect. Quickly change octaves/waveforms with the 2 large knobs.
I can't emphasize enough what an incredibly cool piece of history this is.
All knobs and switches are original!
Very buzzy and raw tone. Smooth leads, harsh gurgly basses.
Extremely special piece as it was the first one put into production!!"
"Fully serviced September 2016. Excellent physical condition, see pictures for details. Buy with confidence, this vintage keyboard is ready for the road or studio. Comes with travel case, power plug has been updated to a modern IEC connection."
"This particular Polaris is special because it has a new control panel (touch buttons) and internal ribbons installed. This means that it is good to go for another few decades. Finding one that is fully function like this is really difficult.
All of the sliders and controls work perfectly with no noise or artifacts. The outputs are clean and solid. MIDI works perfectly as well. All of the keys respond and feel like new. Cosmetically, it is also in really good shape. A few scuffs on the wood side panels...that's about it. I thought about painting them, but just left them as-is."
"MK1 Odyssey serial # 282156. Original, no mods. Excellent cosmetic condition ; this unit would benefit from replacing the sliders and RCA output (its corroded). Other than that you will have a beautiful specimen."
"The Battle of Yamaha DX7 - The 32 Original Factory Patches VS Power DX7 Patches
This is a Yamaha DX7 demo brought to you by Power DX7, showcasing the breathtaking realism and unparalleled versatility of the Yamaha Synthesizer, Yamaha DX7 FM Synthesizer.
About This Yamaha DX7 Demo Video
This DX7 demo video is a comparison between the Yamaha DX7 32 original factory patches and Power DX7 patches. Those 32 factory patches are selected from the DX7 VOICE ROM1 & ROM 2 cartridges that came with the Yamaha DX7 MK1 (totaling 128 patches). Each comparison consists of playing the same arrangement with the same effects (or no effects for some patches). The first patch you hear is the original factory patch. The second patch is the Power DX7 patch. Some are a direct comparison, but the others can be remotely similar, as there is no equivalent patch found in those VOICE ROMs. The difference in sounds and volume you hear is due to the difference in programming between the original factory patches and my Power DX7 patches.

I usually demo synth products, but today I'm going to give my review of the Roland VP-03 Vocoder. I have some experience having owned an original VP-330 MK1 and studying its synthesizer process. It inspired me to author my own VST plugin version that emulated the VP-330 sound, only it did not have the Vocoder. So check out this review and see what I think about this interesting product.

"A quick video demonstrating pseudo-sidechain compression in eurorack modular using an envelope follower, inverter and VCA. Read more about how I did it here: http://alijamieson.co.uk/2016/10/modu..."
"Patch Notes #24 explores the Music Thing Radio Music Eurorack sample player module with looping disabled in the settings (as seen in our recent tutorial) rendering it a one-shot sampler.
The main clock is coming from the Malekko Varigate 4. Channel 1 is triggering the custom kick drum samples loaded into the Music Thing Radio Music, with looping disabled in the Radio Music settings.txt file.
Channel 2 is clocking the Ornament & Crime, which is generating 3 channels of Turing Machine semi-randomized sequences. One sequence is shifting the station on the Radio Music, switching samples. Another Turing sequence is routed to the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas pitch, while a third sequence is modulating the envelope decay on the metallic tones being created.
Channel 3 on the Varigate 4 is routed into the clock input on the DU-SEQ, which is running a 5 step pattern, controlling the gate and pitch on the Make Noise 0-Coast. The pitch signal is routed through Maths channel 2 first, then out from the Sum output to the 0-Coast pitch CV input. One channel from the Pressure Points is also routed into channel 3 on Maths, adding the CV to the pitch input at channel 2, allowing for the transposed sequence. The 0-Coast is routed out through the Vintage Synth Labs VCF-74, and on to the Mutable Instruments Warps running the Parasites firmware for some delay (I like this routing a lot).
The clock output from the DU-SEQ is routed to the 4MS Rotating Clock Divider, which is sending a pulse for every 4 input clock triggers to the clock sync input on the Korg SQ-1. The CV A output is routed to the pitch input on the Mutable Instruments Braids. The stepped random and woggle outputs from the Make Noise Wogglebug are routed to the Braids Timbre CV input and the BI Harm input.
Channel 4 on the Varigate is routed to the Basimilus trigger input. Everything is routed through the Malekko Mix 4 and then out to the audio interface.
I played the JEN SX-2000 with reverb effects from a Dynacord DRP 20 and delay effects from a Korg SDD-3000.
The Jen SX-2000 is an Italian monophonic analog synth with 7 presets. But if you press "preset off", you can create your own sounds. The sound architecture is very simple: 1 VCO, 2 envelopes (for VCF and VCA each), with Attack and Decay, 1 LFO with square/sine waveforms. Resonant lowpass filter. The SX-2000 is actually a cheap analog synth and is very limited, but it has a good basic sound."
"An extended video: Usually I patch before hitting "record," but I thought it might be interesting to some folks to see the process of actually creating a patch, then playing it.
The groove gets going around 10:28
I'm no modular virtuoso by any means, but just as with any instrument the key is practice... so here I am!
I've been practicing and preparing for my very first live performance on my modular this Saturday. A part of that practice is transporting it, setting it up, patching it, then tearing it down. I used to play gigs every week on saxophone and keyboards and I know setting up unfamiliar gear in a dark room can be difficult! To practice, I've been moving my synth throughout the house, patching it in all sorts of different locations.
We're just about at peak color here in West Michigan; what better time to take the synth outside and do some patching.
No super detailed patch notes for this one, partially because I forgot what I did, and since I've already moved the modular I can't refer to the patch (it no longer exists!).
Basically, a drum machine I built in Pure Data is running on the fantastic MobMuPlat iOS app, which is sending drum sounds out one side and 16th note clock out the other. The clock goes through an amp and runs the sequencers and a shift register, which is sporadically causing some VCAs to open up. Later on I play with a saw wave being modulated by a few different things, those things routed through my matrix mixer.
I also make use of my arduino digital oscillator, which now has CV control of frequency, wave type, and wave tone (crossfades between different waves). It's a bit quieter because it's only 5 volts but I think it sounds pretty cool... I'm using small wavetables to get a lot of that delicious aliasing, which I happen to think sounds fantastic going through analog circuitry.
The drum sounds from the iPhone are built in a very similar way to the hardware analog circuits on the rest of the synth: basic waves are being generated (in numbers instead of voltage), then used to modulate each other in the software. I also find myself inspired by the stark limitations of an analog-style workflow, so that's how I code as well. That said, I also have a few samples from a TR-909 in there... cause they sound so good!

"In this video I try a different style of video where I show you the process behind a recent beat I made. I am sorry that there are some odd cuts but I am not accustomed to editing videos like these.
Gear: Elektron Analog Keys, Native Instruments Maschine Studio, Komplete 10 (Polyplex and Giant piano used) as well as Moog Sub 37. Video recorded with a Canon 700D"
"A truly well kept Prophet~5 Rev 3.3 in near perfect condition... everything on this Prophet~5 has been thoroughly checked before listing... Please purchase this Prophet~5 #5469 only if you are prepared to treat it to a good and safe home."
"Playing an old theme with new sounds and minimal setup plus improved Eurorack setup. Kind of session for testing my new Disting mk3 - what a beautiful module! System-1 (Private Collection) & Novation Circuit."
"Quick patch recording with the NoBots Octopodes series of modules including counters, AD / DA, division etc. Fun little system from the Brighton Modular Meet earlier this year."
"The first 6-Operator FM Synth on iOS, building on the legacy of the classic synthesizers that defined the digital era of the 1980s.
It also happens to be the first FM Audio Unit instrument (AUv3), offering tight integration in many leading mobile DAWs, such as Auria, Garageband, Cubasis, Modstep and AUM.
(Note: there is a known bug in the current version of Garageband which may cause compatibility issues with some AU plugins).
Frequency Modulation brings rich timbres and dynamic evolving sounds full of personality which are impossible to create with analog modelling. The 6-Operator architecture allows for lively multi-layered sounds with lots of expression and playability.
Phasemaker's characteristic FM sound will add classic digital character to your mobile sonic arsenal which no other analog synth can bring.
System requirements: iPad 4+, iPad Mini 2+, iOS 9 or higher
- Audio Unit v3 compatible
- CoreMidi compatible standalone mode (with background audio)
- Custom preset management; user presets available across AU hosts
- Dozens of factory presets
- 42 FM Algorithms (including all 32 DX7 layouts)
- 12 Oscillators, including the 8 original TX81z waveforms
- All 106 parameters can be automated using MIDI CC and AU Parameters
- Vintage sounding chorus and reverb effects for classic ambiance"
This one in via Fabien Labonde who had the following to say:
"I've decided to call several musician friends and we played the Bolero with lots of synths
Minimoog, Roland V-Synth GT, Yamaha Motif XF, Theremini, Stylophone, Omnisphere, Korg Triton, AnalogRytm, Roland Drums, Sequential Prophet 6, Roland Gaia, Lounge Lizard... as well as vocals and other instruments : french horn, violin, saxophone, marimba, grand piano, bass, guitars, fretless guitar, ukulele, flute, percussions and drums.
In the end, we are 35 musicians on board !"

"This is a vintage Korg 770 analog synthesizer that has been re-housed in a 3U rack enclousure. It powers on, and while VCO1 and the VCF section maintain basic functionality, no other section of the synth is working properly, and the CV inputs do not function at all either."
"Up for sale is vintage KORG MS-20 Analog Semi-Modular Synthesizer. This is the original classic patchable monophonic synth that made its debut in 1978.
The unit appears to be working fine, all the keys and knobs and switches worked well to the best of my knowledge. The patches worked fine too as being tested on few of the example patch settings, however I noticed the Modulation Wheel seems like it is not responding on most of the patch settings somehow. There might be some slight scratch noise on the knobs and switches, which should probably do with some servicing/adjustment too..."
"Recording session of the song 'A secret wish' for the upcoming Gattobus new studio album. One shot recording, as I always do... ;-)
I hope you enjoy!
Thank you!"
"Tines emulates an electric piano. With internal effects like a stereo tremolo, a multiband distortion panel and a subtle roomy reverb, Tines can sound like anything between a dreamy slick Rhodes to a nasty Wurlitzer (however, it is not designed to be a ”vintage” emulation, but a modern and playable instrument). A fine-tuned velocity curve makes Tines a true joy to play on a MIDI keyboard.

"This is a small demonstration of all onboard effects of the Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer. I'm using a standard single saw wave as the effect input due to its overtone richness. In the second part, we will hear: Triple FX, Delay, Clocked Delay and Reverb.
"The other hand was busy........ recording. Just picked up a used Korg SQ-1 and this is what transpired. A few mistakes in here that I try to play off like I knew what I was doing :)
SQ-1 is sending CV and Gate to the Arp which is run through an MXR Super Badass distortion pedal and some tape delay via Logic. Volca Sample providing the drums with a little bit of compression again via Logic."
