HDB was related to TBS, MAM, and Vermona. Not sure what the exact relationship was. If anyone knows, feel free to share. It is interesting to see the HDB label only on this unit. Curious if any other synths have the label. Speaking of, I realize I had a channel label for the others here on the site, but not HDB, so I added it starting with this post. Click here for a search that will bring up previous HDB posts.

Update: worth noting is the engineer behind TBS and MAM was Stefan Schmidt of the new Schmidt poly analog monster synth as mentioned here.

Door #17: Sind die Lichter angezündet (When The Lights Are Lit) - Synthmas '21

video upload by Synthfluencer

"The song:
This song was the best known Christmas carol in the former GDR and also named a Christmas album that was played in almost every family on Christmas eve. The text written as a poem contains all the ingredients for a typical Christmas celebration: The lights, a tree, gifts, joy and peace.

The gear:
What else can I use for this arrangement than the Vermona stack: Vermona Synthesizer and Piano Strings. Both instruments have been made by VEB Klingenthaler Harmonikawerke, a large instrument manufacturer of the former GDR based in Klingenthal/ Saxony. More than 3.000 employees produced accordions branded "Weltmeister" and later electronic organs and synthesizers under the brand Vermona until 1990. Today the brand name Vermona lives on hold by the company HDB electronic that still produces high quality electronic instruments.

The synthesizers lead voice is routed through a TC Flashback unit adding it's wonderful Mod Delay effect. The Piano Strings goes through a Zoom MS-70 CDR end is enriched with a stereo delay and a very neat Small Stone Phaser simulation. You see in other videos on my channel the Vermona Phaser 80, but in this case I preferred the silky dreamy Jean-Michel-Jarre-signature sound of the Small Stone over the harsh Vermona phaser. Here I compare the sound of the effect units: https://youtu.be/yraACszuvAA

Vermona Synthesizer is controlled via MIDI (I built in a VS MIDI device some time ago, video showing that will follow) and play the Piano Strings by hand cause it's lack of any external control input.

MAM / HDB / Vermona 'Mini Syncussion DRM 2' Analog Kick Drum Synth

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

via this auction

"This extremely rare piece is the single 'DRUM' channel from the famed DRM and Syncussion series of analog drum synthesizers made by MAM / Vermona. It is also comparable to the new 'Kick Lancet' from Vermona as you'll notice that other than the additions of Time, Noise, and Wave it has the same controls (Distortion is now called Balls). It was designed to deliver solid analog kick drums which it does with ease, covering the range from bass heavy sponginess to clicking hard edged thumps. It also produces some unmistakable mono synth type effects and basses with the decay set long. Identical to its full sized counterparts, the DRUM channel has eight knobs to model your tones: Decay, Pitch, Bend, Attack, FM Int, FM Freq, Distortion, and Volume. There is also a manual trigger on the front so you can tweak your sound and hear the results in real time without any need for a computer or external trigger. On the back it has a mono output, midi in, and power in. It responds to Midi note on / off and velocity; there is no patch memory or presets - only tweak as you go analog goodness! Enjoy"

"Touched By Sound (HDB Audio/Vermona) ACM2 Clap Cussion Analog Synthesizer with power supply... See pics for the cosmetic details (very nice), the white balance is obviously off in one of the pair of L & R sides pics, which was done without a flash, corrected in the last pair. Another gem from the collection that has seen very minimal home studio use. Essentially the same as the clap channel of the Vermona DRM drum modules. A great one space unit to get your old school clap sounds a la TR-808 & 909 varieties, plus a lot more other clap like & other tones. Trigger button on the front to help shape your sound, and can be triggered in your setup over MIDI..."

You can find them on Reverb here.

Don't miss the video here.

Update: some pics and details captured. I made the mistake of trying to capture them all and then realized how many were listed. :) I ended up switching to the more esoteric models. Quite a few have never been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH before. What's a little bit interesting, is only two new labels were needed, one for Domino and one for Side-Kick-Er. All other brands have been featured before. See the labels at the bottom of this post. Side note: Blogger limits the number of characters to 200 for labels, so I wasn't able to capture them all for this post. You can always search for the brand names featured for more. I assume most do this anyway. The labels are more for maintenance and for finding posts that may not feature brand names in descriptions.
