"YEAH! This is it! The Holy Grail of Moog accessories; The fabled MOOG International World Map! This was included with a Moog Source I bought back in '83. The Source is long gone, but I held onto the map and kept it folded and safe...until now! Never hung, no tape, no pinholes, no rips or tears, and no pen or pencil markings. Suitable for framing, map is delicate but in great shape and ready to be hung in your studio! I don't know who the coolest record producer in the world is, but I know they better have one of these in their studio! Has a full map of the world on one side (circa 1981) and a full directory of authorized Moog service centers on the other."
"Dolittle B-25 Turbo Ram Cartridge for Kawai K-3 and K-3M synths. I am trying to find out more information about the cartridge (how many banks total as compared to the basic Kawai RC-8 Cartridge) Also, what is the value of a cartridge like this?"
"Demonstration of the Pollux MiMi-a 6-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer.
Built by Ricard Wanderlöf in 1987.
This amazing synth features 6 voices with two oscillators per voice plus sub-oscillator, controlled digitally by a Z80 processor and lots of home-built logic. Each oscillator has individual envelopes. It has a filter that is based on a design found in the Moog Rogue, it has a mod that allows CV-control of the resonance (the synth is even signed by Bob Moog). It's built entirely on copperless veroboard!
It sounds just amazing! This recording doesn't do it justice!"
Malmö Syltjam 2011 - Syltjamsynth
YouTube Uploaded by DevsoundSE on Dec 4, 2011
"Some videos of the synthesizer that was built during the 3-day synth-jam in Malmö 2011.
It consists of an Arduino with midi-shield, and a switch capacitor filter.
At first it had a nice 4-oscillator super-saw playing monophonically.
Later, 4 note polyphony was added, for a total of 16 oscillators!
At the end of Sunday it also had portamento, volume envelope, oscillator spread and pitchbend! All controlled via MIDI-CC.
Full schematics and source code soon avalible on devsound.se"

"The 12 days of Modular. A series of 12 videos themed around Modular Synthesis and sound. Demonstration of Saw Wave and accompanying waveform view. Sound and Video by Raul Pena"
"The Korg/Mono Poly is a well equipped Synth: It has 4 oscillators, oscillator sync, cross modulation, PWM, noise generator (white noise), 24 dB Filter, 2 ADSR envelopes, 2 LFO's with many waveforms, ARPEGGIATOR, CHORD MEMORY and portamento. The built in microprocessor makes many things possible: chord memory, arpeggiator, and polyphonic playing.
It is built around SSM chips like the Korg Polysix. I think, with the MONOPOLY Korg wanted to produce a synth as an alternative to the Minimoog and Sequential Circuits Pro One. Please don't expect it to sound like a Minimoog. The Minimoog remains one of the best sounding analog synths, and the Monopoly (like many others) can not compete in terms of sound quality. However, it sounds great and gives a lot of inspiration. It is a flexible instrument with an amazing potential.
The most characteristic thing on the MonoPoly is the arpeggiator, when it triggers the oscillators in poly-mode. Every step of the arpeggiator triggers a different oscillator - unique patterns can be produced.
I played the Korg MonoPoly along with a Roland DC-30 delay, a Roland DEP-5 (delay) and and a Lexicon MPX-500 (reverb)."
"This is a very hard to find video colorizer and pattern synthesizer. It will colorize external video and modulate the colors to incoming audio. It also has a simple video synth pattern generator which can also be modulated by external audio--it has a sort of melted grid look to it--very cool."
"This is a limited edition video music modified by Switched On Music Electronics in Austin Texas. Switched On modified 10 of these last year, adding a composite video output (NTSC), 1/4" audio inputs and outputs, a fuzz output (audio from the Atari's built-in distortion circuit=insane FUZZ), and waveform mixer controls for the comparator. With the mods, the Video Music can function as a video synthesizer with no audio input at all--this gives you quite a bit of control over color and shape. It is difficult to achieve this sort of functionality without spending thousands on new LZX system."
"I got a chance to book some sampling time with the Legendary Korg PS3100 at Switched On Electronics in Austin. Its my little experiments with the LP filter, S/H, and Resonators. Truly a beautiful instrument. Hope others enjoy hearing what this instrument sounds like. Part One of Two. Sound and Video by Raul Pena."

"Here is another demostration of the Mk1 VORTEX Keyboard doing some kind of lead synth with a Korg CX3 organ. Synths and organs go very well together and I wanted to demonstrate the the sound mix. The VORTEX has some glide applied to the first oscillator and makes agreat sound when going from top to bottom of the keyboard. The analogue keyboard circuitry here excells! Excuse the slightly improvised keyboard style!"

"Here is a video with the recording free of reverb (until the end!) This gives you a good chance to here the subtle, classic sound of this synth. Both the keyboard and the desktop (prototypes) share the exact same sound engine. I'd recomend listening to this on a good quality system...ie with speakers! It's basically a bunch of short vids attached to each other..."
"Demo of the CoreMIDI capabilities of two iOS music apps, FunkBox and Little MIDI Machine, when connected to an iRig MIDI interface. Other instruments used are a Monotribe, Little Phatty, Tattoo drum plugin, Arctic Keys synth app, NLog synth plugin, and Ableton Live. With CoreMIDI your music apps become musical instruments that can interface with the rest of your studio to make music."

Use the additional outputs for effects processing of individual sound groups. Levels can be controlled with top Volume control pots on the CR8000. Sounds amazing when processed thru multi efx units. Simply wild and awesome ear candy."
"Further, this TR-909 is unique due to a little modification that, as far as I know, has never been seen elsewhere : the ride tune parameter range is roughly 5 times larger than on the original unit. The unit is capable to downpitch the ride tune way lower than the original, resulting in realy cool tonal possibilities for that ride. Basically, the original range is like now from 8 to 10 on the new knob, so from 1 to 8 the downpitched ride generates really cool metallic grainy textures"
"This is the awesome Fuzzhugger Ab-Synth fuzz pedal. You have done your research, so you know what you are looking at... you are also bidding on a custom finish version which looks as good as it sounds! These are waitlisted on the Fuzzhugger website for 2-4 weeks, so you know there is a high demand for these pedals--for good reason..."
"Mint condition Korg MS2000BR with Custom keyboard.
Converted my rack mounted synth into one with a keyboard. Achieved by combining an Alesis 25 key controller with my Korg MS-2000BR. There is only one power supply(the korgs) and the Korg still has the external midi input available."
"This is a weird and pretty rare analog rhythm box from Holland. It came out 1975. It has 12 free combinable rhythm patterns. CANCEL switches for BONGO and CYMBAL on the right side. A label on the bottom says, the manufacturer is "Hanu" or Hanus". Nice vintage sound!"

"Firstly, i have no idea why the video has uploaded twice!? The full sequence is 20 minutes long not 41....
A superb machine for bizarre sounds and fx for sampling, along with wall noise, power electronics/death industrial drone, ambience or just sounding like an analogue synth.
As with most of my modified keyboards it has a very 'organic' and evolving feel to it. The potential for different sounds every time you pick this thing up is huge. The intro to this video, except for the drum samples was made entirely from samples taken from my own diy equipment and manipulated in sound forge and reason/record....
The audio of the footage is un-processed. What you hear is solely produced with the keyboard. Rough around the edges but when sampled or polished with some production elements can sound very interesting."

"Intellijel Dr Octature used as an octature LFO to modulate the frequency and bandwidth of a Cwejman RES-4 quad VC resonator. Input of the RES4 is a Intellijel Dixie VCO being FM and soft synced from another Dixie VCO. Intellijel uVCAs and uFade are also used in various locations. Band Pass output is used until 3:54 when I explore the Notch output as well."
Patch highlights: The "Kraftwerky" bass was a pair of 258V's (4x VCO's) into a 292e paired w/ a 281e that was set to cascade eg's 1 through 4 . . . as each LPG opened, it allows the individually tuned VCO to "pass through the gate".
Master clock was an LFO from a 259e . . . into the 243V Programmable Pulser module. The 243V is really great from creating complex rhythmic events in real-time - I used it extensively (in conjunction w/ a 255 slew/voltage processor) to modulate the timbre/symetry/pitch of the 261e.
Heavy use of a 285e Frequency Shifter - Balanced Modulator as well.
