Arturia Microbrute Jam with Roland TR-909 and Strymon TimeLine
Published on Nov 9, 2013 zibbybone·136 videos
"More noodling around with the Arturia MicroBrute and one of the factory programmed sequences. One of the best features of the MiniBrute and MicroBrute is the Metalizer function on the triangle wave. Since the LFO can sync to the sequencer and the sequencer is being synced to the 909, the LFO is now synced to MIDI clock and the rate knob now acts as a clock divider for the LFO as I modulate the filter with the various waveforms and speed intervals. The camera stopped recording about halfway though, which I guess is alright since it was getting rather repetitive."

"Vintage Oberheim OB-8 polyphonic analog synthesizer in EXCELLENT condition with original manual. This synth looks almost NEW. Hard to believe it's nearly 30 years old! You'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer example that this. It was recently cleaned and serviced by Richard Smith of the Electric Music Box (formerly of Buchla & Associates and the Cantos Music Foundation). It is 100% functional and has spent the last several years of its life in my climate-controlled studio. It looks INCREDIBLE and it sounds as good as it looks. This particular OB-8 has FACTORY MIDI and Page 2 graphics. If you're looking for an OB-8, this is THE ONE."

New Aura Analog Synth from Argentina
Not sure if this is a one off or if it will make it to production. I'll let you know more when I know more. For now we have some high res pics. Click them for the full size shots. You can see two oscillators, a filter, lfo, env, white noise, vca & modulation routings. Oscillator 1 has a Frequency knob and switches for Envelope and LFO modulation. Oscillator 2 has Frequency and PWM knobs and an additional knob that looks like it is either for mod amount or fine tune; below it is a MOD 1-2 switch with AC DC options. To the right are switches for waveform (Pulse & Saw), Sync, PWM, ENV, and LFO. The filter has Cutoff & Resonance knobs and switches for Highpass, Bandpass and Lowpass modes, as well as ENV and LFO modulation. The LFO has Speed and Amount knobs, and switches for Wave shape and High & Low frequency settings. If you look at the Wave switches you'll notice there are two of them. Not sure how that works. The Envelope has Attack and Release knobs and an Amount knob and Trigger switches for Manual, Gate and Repeat. The bottom row has a Mixer section with knobs for Osc 1, Osc 2 and White Noise. To the right of that is a VCA Initial amount knob with ENV and LFO modulation switches. There is an overall Volume knob on the top left of the unit. On the back we have jacks for VCF (not sure if this is CV or audio in), GATE, CV1, CV2 and Out.
Update: Two samples and some additional info from Enrique Martinez and jao tek, the creators of Aura:
"The 'vcf' IN is an audio input. The 'mod' knob is the mod amount to modulate the signal of oscillator 1 with osc 2. The LFO has two options of waveforms: ramp or square, inside of the square option is only square and inside the ramp option you can choose between ramp, triangle and saw.
The Aura synth is a MFOS (music from outher space) mini synth based with some modifications like a resonant multimode filter with audio input, V/Oct tracking, electrically tone stability and modulation between the osc1-2, etc. now i´m trying to put a MIDI-CV retrofit inside to make it more versatile and compatible with my studio and live performances.
I´m Industrial Designer and my mate Jao tek is an recognised Artist so we redisignied the knobs and swiches layout and designed a new cabinet and graphic to make it aesthetically more attractive. The sides are polished incense wood with walnut oil.
Only two units manufactured by now but we are thinking about selling the cabinet only or maybe the hole synth is a good idea, we don´t know yet." If you are interested or have any questions, you can reach out to Enrique Martinez or jao tek. Also added his logo below for those interested.

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Made in Switzerland by Spectral Audio, this is a one-unit rack module with full MID implementation and an aggressive analogue sound.
Syntrack combines a Digital Wavetable Oscillator with an Analogue Filter (Cascade Filter). The Filter Output passes through the Analogue Distorter which shapes your Sound to be powerful and rough. The Syntrack offers 99 Programs and easy programming because each Parameter has a Pot. Every Operation on the Knobs will cause a Controller to be send to MIDI Out. And each Parameter listens to its Controller on MIDI In. The Lamps above the Knobs displays a MIDI controller remote of the pots or a setting of this parameter by the program. The Wavetable can be expanded by a second chip. The Syntrack also offers an external audio input.
Features
99 Programs (1 .. 29 = Presets, 30 .. 99 = free definable Programs)
Wavetable Oscillator with 100 Waves (expandable to 200)
Analogue 24 dB Cascade Filter with Resonance and Self oscillation
2 Envelopes
LFO
Full MIDI Control
Velocity and After touch sensitivity

"This is a very basic analog synth, designed by David Cockerell who designed all the coolest EH stuff & also worked on the EMS synths. It has a very growly, distinctive filter! Played from the 'keys' it's good-sounding & very straightforward (no envelope!) but spend a bit of time with it, mess around with the sliders while you're playing & you'll be surprised at the 'hidden' sounds you can get.
All but 3 of the slider caps are original & intact. The other 3 are missing but this is purely cosmetic and can be replaced quite easily! The cardboard back has a little wear around the sockets, & the battery clips show no sign of any leaks or corrosion at all.
There's a particularly nice PWM bass sound, very reminiscent of the riff of Being Boiled (Human League), which would have been a Korg 700s, I think?
I'm not entirely sure what the deal is with the SENS setting. There is a Piezo mic stuck underneath the touchpad, which I'm guessing might re-trigger the filter if you tap the keys? Looking at Youtube, there are videos that claim to show it working but I'm not convinced. As far as I can tell, the Sens setting seems to have no effect on filter or triggering or anything..
Works from 2x 9v batteries & has an internal speaker. I think this sounds great with batteries and through the speaker. However to do it justice, you need to connect it to your sound system. Add a few external effects and it can sound great in your mix. There is a 1/4" Output socket & a 1/8" socket for a PSU. I have never used this with a PSU..."

"This was produced at a time when the Yamaha DX7 ruled the roost in the digital world and Roland's Jupiter held sway in the analogue world. Akai were working with Roger Linn on the Linn Drum as well as developing their early samplers [This has a sampler socket which apparently means you could control the S-612 and later Samplers from the keyboard] It's an analogue synth but digitally controlled [on board or over MIDI] and it can make some really fat sounds. The pads are smooth and blend well in a mix, or you can pile all the oscillators on top of each other in mono-mode to get a screaming lead or full-bodied bass out of it . There are various demos of AX73's on youtube if you want an idea of what it can do in the right hands..."

"Back in the basement with Keith Williams, we focus our attention on the right side of the Beilfuss Step Synthesizer. This side turns out to be an awful lot like the left side, which makes sense if you watch the video.
We are also treated to some audio samples of what you can do with this instrument. Granted, that basement reverb is something you're going to have to add yourself!"
Beilfuss Step Synthesizer Comes Blinking Out Of The Basement
Uploaded on Mar 26, 2011
"Once-ler-like, Keith Williams demonstrates his Step Synth with disembodied, gesturing arms. The seemingly shy inventor simply wants to focus all attention on his new Step synthesizer.
According to the Beilfuss Synthesizer Company:
This thought-through system is the optimization of flexibility with controllability for keyboard. The step synthesizer brings new, never before heard, electronic sounds to music.
Unlike any analog or digital synthesizer's controls, the patented tone control consists of sixteen steps simply outlining the waveform as set by the Signal Controls you see at the left of the control panel. Similarly, the envelope and filter contour transients and their time intervals are also set by the Signal Controls for rhythms or extended notes. You may easily add prompted, parallel voicings, combining settings of both sides for complex notes.There are 32 controls and 142 pushbuttons for direct programming. Dedicated LED pushbuttons always read out their side of the full eight octave, split keyboard. Five octaves of transposition are possible.
See what you think in this introductory demo!"
