Note the system in the background. Buchla started in the 1960s with the 100 series, followed by the 200 series in 1970. The new 200e from Don Buchla arrived in 2004. BEMI took over and re-released an updated version of the Buchla Music Easel and various systems and modules. BEMI then of course became Buchla USA. You can read a condensed history of Buchla on Wikipedia here.
Of course it could just be a Calandar.
It's worth noting, if you are into eurorack, Catalyst Audio currently makes a eurorack system based on the the Buchla 100 series.
"A match made in heaven. This is just another 80's sounding movie track i am playing for this video. The fabulous Roland Juno 60 mated with the amazing sounding Moog Minimoog and Roland TR707 drum machine. Does this song remind you of anything? Thanks for watching!"
"The FS1R is an 8 operator FM synthesizer with a Formant Shaping Synthesis section, digital multimode filter, and built-in effects. These units are quite powerful boasting 4 part multitimbrality, 32 Voices polyphony or 16 voices with filters in use, 88 FM algorithms, and robust memory (536 Voices, 512 Performances, 96 Formant Sequences). Released in 1998, these are the only FM synth Yamaha offered after the DX series and before the Montage. It is capable of loading DX7 patches and going quite far beyond them as well."
"Roland has created a great drum machine with the TR-8. They also listened to user's feedback and came up with the TR-8S. What's the difference?
Together we will compare the 2 devices and listen to the TR-8S sounds."
"What's better than a GS Apollo I?
Of course! 4 Apollos connected in poly chain to make a 4 voice polyphonic synthesizer! With this feature it's possible to connect many Apollo I in order to get many voices. There is no limit!"
An early announcement with plenty of time to plan your trip! :)

"The WMD VOLT was originally designed as a testing and calibration tool for our quality control team as 1V/ Oct calibration requires a precision voltage source to ensure intonation across many octaves.
Need to calibrate an analog synth's oscillator, filter tracking, or anything else that requires a healthy 1V/octave signal? Try VOLT!
VOLT features a 14V range, dedicated buttons as well as gate inputs for up and down control. Use the gate inputs to turn VOLT into a simple octave sequencer. Add in front of your oscillator in the pitch CV path to add an octave switch to any oscillator.
Run up to 3 CVs through VOLT and offset the CV 1V at a time. All three ins and outs are controlled by the same offset.
Volt is a 4hp eurorack module for use with modular synthesizers, hardware synths, and more. VOLT requires a eurorack case and power supply."
And the official product description:
"The VOLT is a precision voltage source and offset generator for eurorack modular synthesizers.
With it’s 14V range (-7V to +7V), VOLT can be used to calibrate oscillators, filter tracking, or anything that needs a 1V/Oct calibration.
VOLT has two buttons. Push the top to increase the voltage by one volt. Push the bottom button to decrease the voltage by one volt. Push both buttons at once to reset the voltage back to a known value.
VOLT has 3 voltage inputs and 3 voltage outputs. The input signal is summed with the voltage source, generating offsets of 1V or 1 octave at a time. This means it can be used as a precision octave switch for oscillators that lack the functionality. Create variation in your sequences with a quick touch of a button.
VOLT’s octave buttons can also be switched via external gates, essentially making it an octave sequencer. One input causes it to go up, and the other causes it to go down. Two gates at once will reset the voltage back to your set value. Running basslines and melodies through volt to be sequenced up and down by octaves is a very effective and a fun way to work.
Features:
VOLT is extremely precise. An offset error of +-1mV and a gain error of 0.033% make VOLT the perfect tool for calibration.
14V range
3 in / 3 out precision adding
Gate inputs for sequence octaves with external CV
User set-able reset point for more control"
"Here is an early video made pre-announcement of the SL MKIII being used in the -CALC- Studio back in Sept '18.
I think this is the first ever full track created on the device. It was made whilst the final firmware was still being cooked up by the geniuses at Novation Towers.
The track was made using a early, non-finished firmware and is using just one session of the 64 available. In fact this firmware was before we got automation and even sequencer part mutes.... I ended up using empty patterns as part mutes!!!
Longer sequencers than the 128 steps available on each part (NB - not just 16 steps internet land!) are achieved by dividing the clock speeds. eg The different Arp 2600 bass lines are across 2 patterns each with a quarter speed clock.
This is based on a hybrid set-up using a little bit of Ableton (Just 3 looped clips) and that wonderful and free Spitfire Audio Labs Soft Piano driven from the SL MKIII's powerful arpeggiator.
The SL is directly sequencing the ARP2600 from the CV gate outputs. MIDI is also sent to the Preen FM, Peak, Leploop and the Roland SP404 processed through the fantastic Oto Boum (was still learning how to use that little box at the time too!)
One thing the SL MK III does really well is open up great opportunities to use plug-ins from software but still keeping the focus, control and composition process directly on the SL Hardware. It really is a hub of the studio and joins all of these worlds perfectly together whilst still giving you an "instrument" to play.
Also having keys in front of you and your sequencer feels genuinely incredible!!!

Familiar yet somehow different, the sound of the Nyckelharpa walks a delicate line. Ancient and totally modern. The nyckelharpa has its roots back in the middle ages. Literally translated the name means keyed-fiddle in Swedish. The pitch of the notes is altered by pressing a wooden key, which frets the string.
Featuring viola + cello tuned nyckelharpas, Soniccoutures' modelling dismantles the sound of this fascinating instrument, and rebuilds it with detailed user control over every element.

They have gathered, only to be hunted. This jam features TWO different recorded parts! The first features the Akai Tom Cat & Timbre Wolf providing some doom-y beats & basslines while the second has the Kawai K1m thru the Moog Minifooger Delay. Both tracks were recorded & edited in Logic with some compression, EQ and two different reverb sends. I normally edit my video in an older version of iMovie, but for the video effects I needed I had to use the newest version. Unfortunately, this version of iMovie has a glitch were the video & audio fall out of sync with each other. Maybe Apple will fix this one day. Until then, have a Happy Halloween!"
"October was warm and cozy but it’s going to the end. Prepare yourself for some cold November waves and dark times which you will be speding in the studio with the Endorphin.es and new upcoming Darkwaves firmware for #blck_noir and #grandterminal. And of course, something even more darker is waiting for you this autumn."
"The original idea of this programmer was published in Synapse magazine a few decades ago by Serge Tchrepnin himself, under the alias of Mr. Arpad Benares.
This is a realization of the programmer in Modcan A format. It is very similar to the Serge programmer and a very unique module of many different applications from four part harmony to complete madness."

This is how the moon sounds - an experiment of using a camera image for wavetable audio synthesis. The image is interpreted as a heightmap and used to synthesize a waveform using openframeworks / tonic audio.
"After yesterday's delivery of great items from the 40% off and all day assembly of modules, of course we have unbonxing. We love to make such films so you can do something about us and look at Erica Synths shop and sell them because it really pays off.
The important info is that these modules will not be produced again and for the last part of the stock will never come back, that's why I emphasize this fact so much because I have these products in hand and are really great.
High performance and mega utility are certainly pluses.
in the movie itself I based music only on these modules and on PICO System II also from Erica Synths.
Very nice Tube Fusion Mixer added a little character here which nice to give a darker sound for the sum.
Also the melody is used for PICO VCO and PICO QUANT-Quantizer and the added space effect of Black Hole DSP-is a great module with 16 effects each with two control parameters, plus dry / wet. This is just a small part of what you can do with it, you can look at the offer of Erica Synths who has a huge amount of other fantastic modules.
Only the imagination can limit you, we do not allow it."
"Both synthesizers do a good job at producing a warm and colorful bass. To me, it seems that the JP8 excels in clarity but the Juno 60 excels in color, that is with the chorus effect engaged."
"Marbles, AKA Random Sampler, is a great source for random gates and cv, adding lots of movement and uncertainty to your patches, but also has the ability, just like the Turing Machine, to repeat a certain sequence, while slowly introducing new material or processing the information it already has, giving an organic feel to the sound. In this video, I go through all its different features, demonstrating its functions with patches built from scratch. I start with the T section, the Gates Generator, I then move on to the X section, the S&H, then I go quickly through the Deja Vu section, and finally I take a closer look at how to use Marbles with external voltages, also at audio rate, and also how to use Marbles as an oscillator. Here are all the different patches - https://patchstorage.com/mutable-insr...

Shakmat SumDif — Demo Published on Oct 25, 2018 Shakmat Modular
"A quick tour of the Shakmat SumDif 2hp module."
"SumDif is a dual adder/differentiator module capable of handling both CV and audio signals. If you send a 3V signal at the A input and a 1V signal at the B input, then the A+B will output 4V while A-B will output 2V. Numerous applications, like unity mixing, buffering and inverting, can be achieved; you can also experiment with Mid/Side audio processing ! The SumDif has a precision signal path and can process V/oct signals perfectly. The two jumpers on the back side allow to reduce the A+B and A-B outputs gain by 6dB.
Features
• Dual 2 inputs adder/differentiator for CV or audio (For example if the first input is 3v and the second output is 1v, sum output provides 4v and dif output 2v)
• Each section can be used as as a 2:1 unity mixer, a 1:2 buffered multiple or a signal inverter.
"This is a review of the Teenage Engineering Op-Z, where I only check out the physical parts and build quality of this little wonder of a synth/sampler.

"Having the BOSS Dimension C DC-2w for one day, I thought to give you a small preview of what this pedal can do to a synth.
Share your opinion with me by commenting to this video.
First, I’m demoing a little bit the internal chorus of the Roland JU-06 and the raw sound, and from 1:17, Dimension C enters in action.
My favourite mode is the SDD-320 and its variations.
In the end I'm adding a little Neunaber Slate delay (10:10).

"Strings, bass, beats and sequencer morph.
Everything you hear is LD3. Only the built-in digital filters were used. No effects, neither internal or external were used.
The drums are some of the included samplings. These were sampled from PolySpaze.
This preset will be included in the final LD3 preset bank."

"The battle of The Strings has arrived. A long awaited battle between two of my favorite synthesizers, the Roland Jupiter 8 and Juno 60. At around 3 min in I add delay and then pull it back out around the 5 min mark. It comes back again later on in the demo. Honestly, I really didn't need to add any effect at all but i wanted to demonstrate these strings with and without. Which synthesizer wins this battle? Will it be the warmth of the Jupiter 8 or the colored chorus of the amazing Juno 60? Both synthesizers have things that the other cannot do, but both synthesizers are amazing."
