"In very clean shape, comes with manuals. This thing is capable of more than any other sequencer out there. This is the super rare Vampire Edition. Color is a little darker and less pink-ish than the photos. Beautiful instrument, and an incredible studio centerpiece (both functionally and aesthetically!)"

Bohm Soundlab vintage analogue modular synth

Published on May 12, 2008 Translucent Nick

"A Looped patch, made in the Boehm Soundlab modular.
If you set the VCA gain at the maximum, the sound stays always on, no matter what the ADSR settings are. So this is useful for loops and complex effects.
This clip is somewhat dark, the sound is captured by the camera's mic, but you get an idea what this little beast is capable for."

Analog SynthiMuse max note rate is 17/second

Published on Dec 3, 2018 The SynthiMuse

"Just a little explanation on the performance hit that adding the analog outputs adds.
The standard SynthiMuse has a maximum note rate of about 33 notes/second.
For the analog SynthiMuse, because it takes extra time to calculate the precision DAC output, it means that the maximum note rate is 16 or 17 per second. This may not matter but it's important to know."

Sequential In The Spotlight Interview with NOLONGERHUMAN

You can find an interview on Sequential's website here.

"Based out of Portland, Oregon, nolongerhuman is the solo electronic project of Clint Robertson.

With a decade of experience in creating harsh and dark electro music, nolongerhuman has gained a large and loyal fanbase with his uncompromising melodies and deeply personal lyrics.

nolongerhuman has produced three full-length albums and has been featured on numerous remixes and compilations, toured the United States, debuted new releases in the Top 10 on the German Electronic Web Charts, and has systematically produced genre-bending harsh electronics with a sense of emotion rarely seen.

Combining music theory and personal, soul-searching experiences with harsh industrial is something rare in the genre. But nolongerhuman utilizes a masterful mixture of hard-hitting beats, catchy keyboard riffs, impeccable synth placement, and a haunting sense of ambiance, all of which inject soul and beauty into a genre that is typically defined by volume and attack factor. Vocal samples put nolongerhuman in a historical context, harking back to the early 90’s industrial while also enhancing the diary-esque lyrics of the music. And while the songs work easily on the dance floor, they also offer the listener a thought-provoking experience with running themes of introspection, integrity, society, and a culture of apathy and blind faith in a somewhat dystopian fashion."

"Lapsus Os is a four channel attenuator/attenuverter and offset. Designed with performance in mind, each channel can be set to either attenuate or attenuate/invert an incoming signal, adjust offset of an incoming signal, or with nothing patched to its input, generate a 0–5v or ±5v offset. Switches on the back of the module invert the fader behavior, allowing for the module to be mounted in either direction, for further customization and ease of use.

Jam features the Lapsus Os controlling 6 CV outputs: 2 for the Manis Iteritas, 2 for the Ataraxic Iteritas, 1 for the Wasp Filter, and 1 for the 2HP VCA. Kicks are from the BIA."

Roland JV-880 and JV-80 Editors Added to Patch Base

via Coffeeshopped

"Patch Base 3.2 adds 2 new editor/librarians for the Roland JV-880 and JV-80. These synths were the beginning of the family tree that led to the JV-1080 and eventually the powerful XV-5080 (which I'm working on support for!). Don Solaris has a great article and diagrams of the evolution of Roland's sample-based synths.

These new editors give you quick access to the 4 Tone layers of each voice, plus the Chorus and Reverb sections, with copy/paste and randomize features as usual. The Rhythm editor allows the construction of 61-part drum kits, each with their own Pitch and Filter envelopes. And in the Performance section, you can set up your 7-part voice performance, plus a Rhythm section. And of course, each of the banks (Voice, Rhythm, and Performance) can be backed up, swapped out, and rearranged in the app, as well.

Thanks to Paolo Di Nicolantonio for the beautiful JV-880 picture. And here are some screenshots of the new editors."

"Sequential Circuits Pro-One analog monophonic synthesizer, with (the more reliable) J-Wire keyboard, MIDI and CV control -- works, sounds and looks fantastic...

BONUS: This Pro One also has the Synhouse MIDIJACK Midi-IN mod and 'TB-303' style glide mod. Both the Sequential and Roland-style glide controls can be used individually or in combination, as they contribute different yet complementary portamento effects. (I prefer using them together). The Synhouse installation is super clean and doesn't interfere with the stock functionality or cosmetics.. *and* gives this specific Pro-One an additional expressiveness you won't find in other examples."

"I got this one from a friend's father who used to play synths on a band on the 80s. It makes sounds when you press the keys and the oscillators, faders and filters work, but some things needs to be fixed. When you are playing sometimes a note or two notes start to sound like if a key were stucked, then stop and start again randomly. Also the arpeggiator and ensemble button doesn't work. Everything else seems to be fine."

This thing oozes character – just have a look at the photos; there's no mistaking this for a reissue. Wish I didn't have to let it go, but space constraints are a real thing in the city...

Fresh from the tech right before listing, working perfectly. Only issues you'll find with this one are cosmetic."

Indeed.  Front panel coating appears to be peeling off.  Curious how difficult it would be to remove.

AJH Synth Glide + Noise // busboard pitch distribution, slew/lag and noise sources for Eurorack

Published on Dec 3, 2018 DivKidVideo

"**TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS BELOW** ok so this is a simple one, easy to overlook and underrated I feel. Like all AJH this just work really well. It's a basic linear glide that can glide up, down or both up and down (normal function for most slews), there's a great hold function to halt signals passing with either gate high or low (behaviour set on a jumper), it can send or receive CV from your bus boards in the case (yes the CV / gate lines on the power connectors that go unused 99% of the time), and there's 3 noise types. Simple, but highly effective and now with a recent update it's skiff friendly, responds to negative CVs and has a range of ~14 octaves ... yes 14! I'm known to go on about how much I dislike people going on about big over the top octave tracking ranges as musical lines don't span 8 octaves or more BUT in this case we're talking about going well into modulation ranges accurately and audio so I won't be ranting here! :)

TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS

00:12 Patch previews

00:38 Function / features run down

01:03 Demo patch - a wider patch using noise for percussion, glide for pitch and some other new AJH modules for added spice.

03:36 Glide - up, down, both, linear slew,

04:55 CV bus on the power boards and distributing pitch around your system cable free!

05:54 Hold - what is it, jumper settings etc - interrupting sequences for added performance and sequence freezing.

07:22 Audio wave shaping - YES using this for audio manipulation, weird ... probably ... cool though? Yes! Slew works as a basic low pass filter but audio rate hold manipulation adds some great overtones.

09:27 Slewing (or lagging or gliding) modulation signals. Turning square LFOs into triangles, ramps and clipped saws.

10:52 Noise types - a look and listen at the red, white and pink noise.

13:28 Using the Glide + Noise to mimic original Moog Minimoog Model D behaviour with the interrupted / gated glide on the keyboard."
