"Vintage Stylophone 350s that was made in England. This unit works well, and has fresh batteries (takes 2 x large PP9 9 volt). This machine has some very awesome capabilities. It has two stylus, one of which is for the reiteration effect, basically a two speed on/off tremolo, which can be used in tandem with the main stylus. Also, the photo effect is super fun, you can choose vibrato or wah wah, and with your left hand proximity, increase or decrease the effect (not unlike a theremin). With the rocker switches you can get many different variations of the Stylophone tone. Sometimes the rocker switches take a couple of attempts to engage as they should, but all switches work. The unit is in excellent cosmetic shape."

Vintage Rhodes Chroma Analog Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"The Rhodes Chroma is a vintage polyphonic, multitimbral, microprocessor controlled, subtractive synthesis, analog synthesizer. This Chroma is being sold as is. It does not make sound. When I plugged in the synthesizer and turned it on, no display or lights came on. The power supply hummed and I immediately turned it off and unplugged it. This Chroma is in good physical condition inside and out. It has some kind of tape residue on the wood side panels and one of the plastic tops of the number 2 left hand controller is missing.

The Chroma uses an Electronically Reconfigurable System which allows the VCOs, VCFs and VCAs to be reconfigured or patched like modular synthesizers but without the patch cords. Instead, the Chroma digitally stores all of the parameters which determine a sound. The Chroma has better patching capabilities than most modular systems and it is fully programmable."

Moog One demo by MANMADEMADMAN (no talking)


Published on Dec 30, 2018 manmade madman

"This is a non-musical demo of the custom patches I've made since getting the Moog One three weeks ago. I feel that there is a lack of demo's for this synthesizer catering towards the darker electronic sounds, programmed intentionally with distortion, dirt and grit. Every sound you hear is intentional, and I made by hand. I am scrolling through most of the patches which are sorted alphabetically. Some patches use the internal effects, including the Eventide reverbs. There are many places in the signal path where you must be careful of gain staging, as it easily overloads.

No external processing has been added, as all gear demo's should be!

Shoutout and a nod to @NineInchNails and @NitzerEbb for the patches where I badly recreate their respective songs."

Weird Electronic Music Home Studio Speedpainting Jam #TTNM


Published on Dec 30, 2018 The Tuesday Night Machines

"Another modular synthesizer inspired Procreate painting with the Apple Pencil 2 ... well, at least at the end you can see the painting. Before, I mashed together a visual pattern made on vertexshaderart.com with effects from LumaFusion. It’s weird ... just like the music I created for this video. Oh geez. MORE INFO BELOW!

---------

PixelNoises Synth T-Shirts by The Tuesday Night Machines:
https://shop.spreadshirt.com/pixelnoi...

---------

Gear used:
- iPad Pro 11“ 2018 with Apple Pencil 2 and a bunch of Apps:
Procreate (drawing and timelapse)
LumaFusion (video editing and export)
AUM (audio routing, recording, mixing and lots more)
Volt (expressive synthesizer)
DM1 (drum machine)
various audio FX Apps
YouTube (video uploading and sharing)

So this video was another test of what one can do with the iPad Pro as a “computer” for painting, electronic music making and video editing and sharing. In LumaFusion you can have up to three video tracks and there’s a green-screen key effect. I used this to blend the vertexshaderart.com screen capture with the speedpainting time-lapse from Procreate and added some more video effects from LumaFusion on top. At the end all of that fades out and the final painting is visible. The shader art I made is this one:
https://www.vertexshaderart.com/art/Y...

Not sure if I will ever be any good at programming those visuals, but it’s a fun brain teaser exercise, similar to bytebeat coding.

Anyway, that’s it ... the Apple Pencil 2 has been behaving properly for the past couple of days, by the way. I hope I can keep it."

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

via this auction

"This is the slightly later version with a khaki control panel and built-in speaker, so probably dates from 1980-81. They sometimes get a bad press but there are actually some really great sounds on board (e.g. Synthe 1 32' for basslines & Synthe 2 8' for leads - apparently it uses the same filter chip as the MS10 & 20) once you get used to the quirky controls... I'll be sad to see it go, but I just don't have the space for it anymore.

It's in pretty decent condition for its age - cosmetically there are some scuffs and scratches, but nothing serious; it has lived in my home studio since I've had it, and looks to have had a fairly quiet life before that. These often seem to develop a fault where some of the presets stop working. On this one, once its warmed up they all work - though some need a bit of coaxing with the rotary selector before they settle down - some switch cleaner on the contacts would probably help...

Other than that, there are no crackly pots or switches, and both outputs as well as the internal speaker are working, though recently I have noticed a low (in volume) high pitched noise when using the line out (not affected by the volume or filter controls, so possibly a slightly noisy output transformer...?) - it's not audible when not playing, and doesn't come through the built-in speaker, so not a huge issue. The synth has probably never had a service in its life, so a check-up by someone competent is recommended, and should keep any future issues at bay."

How To use PICO TRIGG & PICO DRUMS to create your favorite patterns in eurorack


Published on Dec 30, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
I have a small introduction to PICO TRIGG and PICO DRUMS Erica Synths modules when you use it together to trigger your drums and create patterns. Pico TRIGG has mobile application for arranging patterns and loading and storing 8 slots that you can change whenever you want. in this video shows how to do it and also with the use of PICO DRUMS how the whole process works, to relieve your favorite drums with these two modules. Pico DRUMS can handle your samples and you can load 64 samples for each drum, you have controll over Pitch, Decay and Level for each drum, so there are also possibilities as soon as you are bothering you, you can load another sample and so you have a great drum sampler whenever you want to suddenly kick 909 or clap 808 and other your crazy favorite samples."

Doepfer Dark Energy Mk1 pcb view and alternative position for Glide modification


Published on Dec 30, 2018 Vykaar Tones

"Doepfer Dark Energy Mk1 dismantled pcb view and alternative position for Glide modification. I only got around to fit the glide mod when I had to take the main board out to fix the envelope generator which would randomly fail to trigger ( I replaced a intermittently faulty BC547 transistor ). The Doepfer suggested positioning for the glide pot is on the front side but as you can see I prefer to use it standing on that side so I found space on the back panel (top). A note for the adventurous - if you do ever have to dismantle one of these note that the nuts on the front panel sockets are different to the ones on the back panel and will chew up the plastic if mixed up."

Daft Punk Synth Tutorial


Published on Dec 30, 2018 Alex Ball

"This week I thought I'd demo three Daft Punk synth sounds / samples on original hardware.

As these are all VCO-based analogue synths that are the best part of 40 years old, you'll probably find that settings vary slightly from one unit to the next. In fact, the settings vary on a daily basis on my own synths, depending upon temperature or how long they've been switched on etc.

Modular Performance :: Flight :: Buchla 200e Skylab


Published on Dec 29, 2018 Mike Thomas

"I'm using all the individual oscillators available to me here (a grand total of four, since there are two complex oscillators -- the 259e and 261e). While I'm using them as individual voices, the modulation oscillators are also modulating the main oscillator (pitch/FM on the 259e and timbre on the 261e). This modulation is being affected by position on the main keys as well as the X/Y pads of the K-controller.

Musical parts are controlled by the 251e providing a trio of very short sequences selected by the K-controller, a "split" setup of the K-controller's long keys, for the hand-played bass and melody parts, and an arpeggio controlled by the K-controller's arpeggiator.

Obviously I need to work on this a bit more to get timing and movement down. I'm also hampered a bit here from time to time by the fact that as I play my hands get a bit sweatier and this causes some stiction on the keys the longer I go. That's not going to change, so I just need to learn how to deal with it.

"Behringer DeepMind 6 Ambient ARPs & Tweaks
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD** **Turn it UP!!!**

Yes the Behringer DeepMind 6 is back!!!!
I seriously am thinking about putting the
Behringer DeepMind series in the top of
my list for synth recommendations of 2018.
I know they came out a few years back but
Behringer really is doing a great job making
clones & custom synthesizers. That BARP
Odyssey looks FANTASTIC! Sounds GREAT!
If you know me & this channel you know how
much I LOVE the ARP Odyssey & love the
KARP Odyssey! Anyway this video is me
playing some slow bass lines, ARPs &
crazy alien modulated leads on the DM6.
...God, I love this synthesizer! So flexible!
Great effects!! Get one if you get a great
deal because they are already cheaper
than their original introduction prices. ;)
Thank you for watching!

MacBeth Micromac-R X-Series Analog Eurorack Synth Module

via this auction
"From MabBeth Studio Systems:

the idea started a while back when the first analogue destop synthesizers first made their appearance.

a while back, i too, was considering how much sound creation facility could be put into a very small area. historically- my designs have been integrated analogue synthesizers at which i have some expertise. more recently, i have worked on modular synthesizer too. my style is to offer a no comprimise, quality sound product employing whatever it takes to make that possible! i have worked on various ideas that employ the integrated aspect with the flexibility of a modular synth. the result now is my latest products, the micromac-r and the micromac-d.(series)

the micromac is a full scale integrated analogue synthesizer in a very compact space. there are two units to be made available. the micromac-r is aimed at the 3u eurorack modular synthesizer users and the micromac-d is aimed at those who wish to take a synthesizer into the live performance domain. the micromac-d is housed in a compact desktop unit coming with an extra two lfos and a sophisticated midi/glide/lfo control section- allowing the unit to be used in many situations where it may be the only analogue instrument in use.

the highest priority was to design a synthesizer that would have not one oscillator, or even two- but three voltage controlled oscillators. key was to have more than the standard sawtooth and square waveforms available- but also to employ triangle waveforms and sine waveforms. it was also also deemed very important that the oscillators would have their own voltage control inputs and separate audio outputs to integrate with other modular synthesizers. another very important audio component was the inclusion of a noise generator. any full-scale synthesizer must have dual envelope generators. the first eg is key to sweeping the filter- but a separate eg is also very important to shape the final output or voltage controlled amplifier section.

Waldorf Quantum - Resonator


Published on Dec 29, 2018 100 Things I Do

"I thought we would take a look at the Resonator engine in the Quantum this week. Based on the idea of Karplus–Strong string synthesis where you have a generator (Normally noise) then you excite various frequencies and use feedback to create bell, metallic and string type Timbres. First I show some of the options the Quantum makes available, then make a basic patch using all 3 Oscillators \ Engines.

Interestingly you can also use the Resonator to manipulate other sounds on the Quantum. A lot of fun and many hours to loose exploring the possibilities."

Transmutron blending destruction upon Moog Mother-32 synthesizer


Published on Dec 29, 2018 Boredbrain Music

"Mother-32 gets destroyed here by parallel bit-crushing distortions, first split and filtered by the Transmutron's own wide-resonant notch filter. The filter is controlled by a mix of S&H CV from the Bitrazer and the Mother-32's own LFO, from slow sweeps up to near audio rate, creating an FM effect with the resonant peaks.

North Coast Synthesis- Coiler VCF-multimode filter unboxnig and first sound


Published on Dec 29, 2018 Dziam Bass

"North Coast Synthesis their Coiler VCF-multimode filter.

After a little bit of fun, it is certain to say that this is a great filter with a very smooth structure that translates into very beautiful sounds. The Coiler multilayer filter and rectifier pack the entire sound shaping nest into a single Eurorack 8HP module. It is a bipolar floating point filter based on a unique integrator design that stores energy in both induction coils and capacitors depending on the frequency range. The transition area between the two components and the saturation characteristics of traditional OTA based amplifiers offer warmth and ever-changing hues in the mid-range range, as well as hissing highs and slimminging lows. This is a slightly unpredictable filter and here we confirm it.

Definitely worth attention when the next filters are only aggressive, here you can get different colors and other saturation in traditional subtractive patches."

OB6 Mono/Unison 1-6 Voice Illustration/Improv


Published on Dec 28, 2018 Kris Lennox

"The OB-6's place as one of the finest polys on the market is (I assume!!) by this stage likely without question. But the big question is: is the OB-6 also one of the finest monosynths DSI has ever produced?!

In mono mode it is brutal. For around the first minute of this video I'm layering the voices, starting with only one, through to all 6. This gives a good sense of the size of the sound. Sometimes a sound can be 'too big' - which is where the voice-layering/stripping possibilities are very useful.

At around 1:13 I'm turning the detune knob - hence the wider sound. Again, great sound.

Towards the end of the improv, the tone reminded me of Chicane's music. I think the track is called 'Fibreglasses', but I could be wrong, as I haven't listened to it since the album release. I'm probably not even playing it in the correct key!

PS excuse any errors - this was a literal 'sit down and hit record' improv as a Friday-night break from a transcription project I'm working on.

All best
Kris"

X1L3 - circuit bent casio SA-46 - power electronics and harsh noise


Published on Dec 28, 2018 X1L3

"20 minute PE set to check out the noise potential. Probably a bit long and drawn out in terms of demo material, but if you're into this stuff you're probably used to full C60 outings etc. Transition from navicon torture technologies type drone to an escallation into noise at 7.10. If you hate this sort of stuff i probably already know this and the sun will still rise in the morning :)

Where to get and what's in there below:

Drone is constantly triggered via midi as i don't have three hands. The rest is just hands on manipulation and experimentation to see how it behaves in the context of drone and power electronics performance. Filter as a very hot resonance peak when the res is cranked which can be used to cut into the delay loop, even when the loop feedback is maxed out and trying to inject additional audio into it becomes tricky.


Fitted with a monophonic midi interface. The board is polyphonic but the amount of routing and circuitry required to implement this via midi isn't doable in the space available. The compromise is still cool though, giving a mix of automation that can be played over, plus being a bent machine it can pull off all sorts of strange stuff when you spend a bit of time getting to know it. The standard format on the spectrum of nice to nasty - melodic to harsh noise all loaded up in this one.

It has a resonant filter, 'ruiner' ringmod/distortion and a digital delay configured as a circuit bent delay pedal might be - that is untethered feedback and filtering for texture and noise generation and manipulation. Also added is a global pitch control with fine and coarse dials."
