Vintage Oberheim TVS-1A Two-Voice Analog Synthesizer w/ Mini-Sequencer SN 0456

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

via this auction

"Vintage Oberheim TVS-1A Two-Voice Analog Synthesizer in 100% Working Condition. Very well cared for with all original knobs with caps, all LEDs working, no sticky or dead keys, no dirty pots, no hum or crackling. There is one issue with the high "B" key being a bit higher than the row (please see pic). It does not affect function or playability. This TVS-1A will be meticulously packed with only new bubble-wrap in the first new box. Then, more new bubble-wrap inside the second new box. A 37"x30"x18" double-walled box weighing in at 51 lbs. 4 oz. Includes two power cables, copy of the manual and schematics. Capable of deep analog saturation without losing clarity. The incredible sound one expects from vintage Oberheim SEM modules. In 1975, Oberheim created their first compact, programmable and polyphonic synthesizer by coupling two SEM modules to a 37-note keyboard and a simple analog sequencer. This was what became the Two Voice. Oberheim achieved a polyphonic sound not yet seen at the time by hard-wiring the two monophonic SEMs into the compact keyboard design. In 1976 Oberheim came out with another module, the Polyphonic Synthesizer Programmer. This could memorize the control voltages of many parameters for up to eight SEM modules. When these were added to the Two Voice in the form of the Mini-Sequencer, Oberheim finally had one of the earliest programmable and polyphonic instruments. Each voice has its own filter. The filter is unique and like no other, and apparently cannot be reproduced even by its own creator. The 8-step analog sequencer controls each voice/module independently allowing two independent sequences to be run simultaneously if desired."

"The Muse (synthesizer ONLY) by Triadex Inc., 1972
I am the original owner of this Muse model -1. My Dad worked with Ed Fredkin on the rollout of The Muse back in the early 70's. When he brought a set home I made sure it lived in my room - as one of 4 kids that wasn't easy. The other two components, the light show and the external amp are now in the collection of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. If you haven't been there definitely go -it's an amazing place. The last picture is of the CHM music exhibit, the day we dropped off the other components.

**(this auctions does NOT include the light show and ext amp)

I've had the Muse all these years and now feel it's time to share it with another music/tech lover. Included in the sale is the original box, packing styrofoam and 20 page booklet, 'How to make Muse music.' The Muse is in perfect working order. The only defect is the Step Key sits off-centered, but it functions correctly."

YAMAHA DX5 FM SYNTHESIZER SN 2554

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

via this auction

"The Yamaha DX5 was a derivative of the DX1, introduced in 1985 with a list price of US$3,495. It has the same synth engine, but lacked the DX1's fully weighted keys, polyphonic aftertouch, aesthetics (rosewood case and wooden keyboard) and user interface features (parameter displays). It included 76 keys with channel aftertouch and slightly improved MIDI features.

Programming instruments on the DX1 is a little easier than on a DX5 because of extensive parameter displays, but both have an advantage against a DX7, because they have dedicated buttons for some programming tasks and bigger display, so programming is not so tedious as on a DX7."

Korg VC-10 Vocoder

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

via this auction

"Very beautiful vocoder with an extremely unique sound. You've really never heard anything quite like this -- unless, of course, you've listened to Pink Floyd's Animals [apparently so], or any other number of acclaimed records on which it was utilized as a secret sauce of pure vibes.

This guy plays great but has certainly seen somewhat better days. Everything works just fine, except one key (lowest) -- which I imagine could be easily repaired, though I just never bothered. The pots are a bit scratchy but other than that it's just the same eerie vibe-machine monster that a VC-10 ought to be."

via Wikipedia: "(used in Animals) 'Floyd first used a Vocoder in Animals (recording during 1976) for Roger’s lead vocals in 'Pigs' and for the bastardised psalm on 'Sheep', as well as for the treated barking sounds and other effects in “Dogs”. Rick’s keyboards were also fed through the Vocoder, notably during the middle section of “Dogs”. Although it is not documented which particular model was used in Britannia Row studios for the recording of Animals, it is reported that they used the 'now-classic Korg VC-10 model'"

Anyone know for sure?

It does appear to shoot lasers out of its keys. Be careful!

Vector Hardware Synthesizer Update - Demos & Some Features

You might remember the upcoming Vector hardware synthesizer from this initial post. Click through for pics and a video. Above are new demos for the synth. Some new details on features follow:

"It’s been a long wait but now we have completed the beta testing of our fourth prototype iteration and we have finally started our first small commercial batch production. Hooray!

While we’re preparing a complete set of information material, there’s a few things we’re confident to share now that Vector features:

Polyphonic additive/subtractive hybrid synthesis engine
Complex warp modulator based on Lissajous curves that defines the composition of the partials and the parameters of the per-voice filters
An extensive arpeggiator with lots of controlled randomization
A tightly integrated set of effects with high synergy
A 7” touchscreen to control and perform the vector motion, among other things
A vast amount of endless rotary encoders

There’s of course a lot more details to share, but then we’d have nothing to write about in our following newsletters :)

Last but not least, we compiled a small set of demo tracks to showcase some of the sounds Vector can do. These are of course not exhaustive, but give a decent insight into what sort of sonic palette one can expect from Vector."

Cactus Desert Drums

via this auction

"The Desert Drums drum module synthesizer from British manufacturer Cactus. It was produced in the 1983 and was also part of a full electronic drum kit but could also be used standalone in a synthesizer rig.It is an early hybrid instrument that is both analog and rom based. The unit's drum sounds are sample based burned onto an E-Prom within the 6 standard modules including one fully analog synth module for creating synth drum sounds. More modules can be added to the unit should the user desire to expand it up to 10 modules.

There are controls for volume, panning, pitch, decay, and trigger sensitivity. On the Snare module, you can mix the sample with analog noise and shape it with a resonant analog filter. The Bass drum module allows you to switch between two separate samples. The other standout module is the Synth sound, which provides versatile controls for the noise, tone and click components of a synthesized percussion voice. Each module has an individual output, while a 15-way 'D' socket facilitates connection of the entire chassis to an external computer or sequencer."

There is a new plumbutter, which we will herein call "plumbutter2". It is very much similar to the old plumbutter, but in a new slim case. The sigils are engraved rather than printed. Still features the signature mulberry, walnut and sassafras woodage. Aux inputs and outputs remain. Besides housekeeping mods to clean the sound, there are two special new mods:
The stereo mixer section now has CV inputs. They act to in a stereo manner: a signal going up on "verso" makes the right side louder and the left side quieter, and the opposite for "inverso".
Avdogs are now stereo: each one undulates in the left channel and the right channel, back and forth.
The snare drum is now much louder"

Elektron Model:Samples patched thru Boredbrain Transmutron & Eurorack

Published on Feb 28, 2019 Boredbrain Music

"We snagged the new Elektron Model:Samples and decided to beef it up using the Boredbrain Transmutron's FX loops patched out through a slew of eurorack processing. A simple pattern was programmed and, alongside many CV modulations, some real-time tweaking created a fun dynamic jam.

Cool things happening in this patch:

- The Transmutron's two Euro FX returns are used to receive mixed stereo cacophony of parallel effects (and synth line) to convert back to line-level for recording, after first passing through the Boss Roland RE-20 Space Echo.

- A Boredbrain SPLIX is used to mix two different control voltage signals into the Transmutron CV for modulation of the crossover frequency splitpoint

- The low frequencies are processed in parallel with the Recovery Effects Motormatic and the 2HP Comb Filter, the latter has its resonance modulated by one channel of the Make Noise Maths, triggered every 7 gates of the synth line, counted by the Adventure Audio Count module.

- Model:Samples Track 6 is sequencing the Mother-32 to create the synth line, which is octave doubled by the Noise Reap Bermuda oscillator, then run through the Recovery Effects Cutting Room Floor"

Synthesis wavetable / Matrix / FX function in Graphic VCO-Erica Synths - this is really awesome

Published on Feb 28, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
I've been here for a few days with Graphic VCO from Erica Synths and I made a small movie showing the Matrix functions. you can specify the range of morphing waves in it and change them with the X and Y knobs to give an excellent spectrum of motion for our wavetables.
(change the range by increasing this square in each page).
In the second part of the short film I added some effect from the FX section, which is built in here.
in fact, the Graphic VCO has many functions like wavetables A / B, which means you mix yourself between the two selected waves. the option of drawing your own waves from scratch even from a blank form. or drawing already created waves. You can interfere very strongly with the sound. when you draw two of your waves, you can use A / B wavetables and further shape them with FX additions like here RM-ringmod or Phase distortion but also others like bitcrusch or wavefolder or wavewrap and more. also the built-in quantizer gives us surfing on a musical scale, so a single oscillator creates a versatile tool with many sound colors.
synthesize wavetable can now be great with this module and the most important of all its is simple and intuitive to use even without instructions."

Upcoming SP-2400 is Real and It's Not From Behringer?

What is the SP2400 and is it real? Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit

It's not an SP-1200 x2 and it is currently working.  Filters on every channel.

Update: Soviet Space Child joked it could be an elaborate April Fools spoof as the images look rendered. It has been a while since we've seen Elhardt. Maybe he's making a comeback like Jexus. :)

Update2: also see the update in the original post here.

via Flux

"What if I told you the SP 2400 is real… its not Behringer and It is going to be build as a proper spiritual successor to the classic sampler many of us have grown to love so dearly. This is no clone, this is something more…"

"So what is speculation and what is fact?

FACTS…..24bit AND 12 bit, Aluminum construction, Classic sound with the Classic workflow. Each pad will play cowbells (if you sample a cowbell to it) its not behringer… it is real, and it IS COMING SOON


How do I know all of this? am I making it all up? did a little birdy tell me? There is still so much we don’t know… how much will it cost? when will it hit shelves? Time will reveal all.

I can tell you… I have heard it… it sounds fantastic. It is going to make many of us very happy… and the corksniffers… so mad. I will be dropping random tid bits about this as they fall out the back of the secret laboratory this is being built in."

Fun with CS-80 / GX-1 style string ensemble on Deckard's Dream

Published on Feb 27, 2019 Paul Schilling

"A walkthrough of my recreation of Stevie Wonder's "Village Ghetto Land" GX-1 string ensemble on the Deckard's Dream synth, with plenty of audio examples.

The Deckard goes beyond what the CS-80 can do, for example by offering PWM LFO sync across all voices and layers, which very few synths actually offer, and which adds a vibrant airy ensemble-type feel. Also the Deckard lets you reverse the polarity of the high-pass filter envelopes, which was also a feature of the GX-1 (so that either the HP filter opens/closes together with the LP, or goes the opposite way)."

"C105 VC Noise / Lo-fi MKII - Detailed demo with patch examples

The C105 VC Noise / Lo-Fi Machine MKII is a voltage controlled analog sample rate reducer and a VC Noise generator. This new MKII version expands the modules possibilities with new features that allows this module to be used in other ways not possible with the previous version. Now the C105 MKII can be used like a traditional sample and hold , a voltage controlled clock generator , a random gate / trigger generator or a 12 db VC High pass filter and even as a square wave VCO."

An Aladdin's cave of rare synth gear // Patch Point (Berlin)

Published on Feb 27, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Earlier this year the Modular Podcast crew had the chance to visit Patch Point based in the Neukölln district of Berlin. Patch Point is a store, community hub and synth DIY centre ran by Dr. Darrin Weiner. Patch Point is the only place outside of Peter Blasser himself (the creator) to build Ciat Lonbarde equipment and they also stock various Serge panels, Bug Brand and Eurorack gear. With a heavy leaning to the rare, banana format and other more unique pieces of gear it's no doubt one of the only places in the world to try out, build and get hold of some of this equipment. A total Aladdin's cave of synth gear and a wealth of knowledge and experience with Darrin in driving seat, be sure to get to Patch Point if you happen to be in Berlin anytime."

Graphic VCO & Black Octasource- Erica Synths unboxing and first sound!

Published on Feb 27, 2019 Dziam Bass

"As always, we have a video of unboxing and a little announcement how it looks and sounds the module on the first day.
Graphic VCO from Erica Synths is really a beast when it comes to wavetable and undoubtedly this kind of synthesis is needed by anyone looking for new sounds. It is known that the anlogic sound is always great but you have to open slightly imaginative to recognize that just such a digital VCO as Graphic VCO can offer us infinite sound possibilities especially when it has on board are amazing FX like FM, Ringmod, Phase distortion, Wavewrap or wavefolder and more, with the addition of this to wavetable and the sound morphing function, you start to realize how great the possibilities are giving you new waves that you can draw.
In addition, for obtaining a beautiful morph in a certain time, the Black Octasource - powerful LFO with morphing function, together acts as one organism moving your wavetable sounds in an amazing way.
Sound -Graphic VCO & Black Octasource / Drums-Pico Drums!"

I rescue and repair unwanted synths and drum machines and put them back into service, making music as they were intended. In this video series I present some of the history and sounds of the various synths and drum machines here in my studio.

If you have any unwanted synths and drum machines that you would like to contribute to Synth Quest, you can email me at madfame@madfame.com"

Radiophonic Ones - A Simple Sequence

Published on Feb 27, 2019 suitandtieguy

"Using two Radiophonic One systems to make a nice thick sequence. Two .VCOs tuned a fifth apart with Drift Generator rate set in the slow range, and just a little bit of their modulation added, into a .MIX with the sawtooth of both and a touch of the suboctave square of the fundamental mixed in, into the Sea Devils Filter modulated by pitch CV and a 23 second period linear trapezoid modulation from one Envelope Generator controlling the amount of the other Envelope Generator. The main Envelope Generator is used for a basic triggered pluck with the curve control set about 70 percent of the way towards Logarithmic from Linear. Effects are a Lexicon Alex hall reverb and a TC D-Two basic delay. As the video progresses I tweak the drift generator amounts and the amount of filter modulation from the VCAed pluck control."

Hpi TBX1 Tuning Box

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

via this auction

"This box can implement microtuning capabilities to most midi synths that respond to pitch bend cc’s. It works best with multitimbral synths or those that have Mode 4 (guitar mode, mks50, esq-m) for polyphonic use but can work for monophonic synths too. It has over 400 tunings included but you can upload your own from a computer. I highly recommend getting HPI’s Custom Scale Editor software if you pick this up as its easier and more intuitive than Scala for creating your own scales. Comes with original power supply.

Making a Paper Cup Microphone. Less than $10!

Published on Feb 26, 2019 LeoMakes

This one isn't directly synth related, but LeoMakes is a supporting member of the site, and some of you out there might find this one useful. You can use the mike with your synths and modular. :)

"Yes--it's true! You can make a microphone out of a paper cup, some magnets and some wire. It's definitely not going to replace any of my (or your) studio mics, but it's a fun lo-fi DIY project. Did I mention it was less than $10?

Have you built any microphones of your own? Do you have an experience repairing mics? Please share your wisdom and leave comments on how one might improve on this very basic (and hack-y) design!"

This system uses the Doepfer A-157 as the core sequencer with a Pittsburgh Lifeforms sequencer for CV sequencing. There are two drum/synth voices from Noise Engineering, the Basimilus Iteritas Alter and Manis Iteritas.

The rest of the system is built around synthesis with two noise generators, SSF Quantum Rainbow 2 and Hexinverter VCNO. For oscillators there are two Make Noise STOs and a Sinc Iter. Filtering comes from an AJH Mini-Moog style ladder filter and Intellijel MS-20 style Morgasmatron. There are six envelopes from Maths and Quadra and a discrete transistor VCA/mixer made by combining multiple XAOC Tallins with a unity mixer. There is also a WMD/SSF DPLR delay effect."

"Song-A-Day & RPM Challenge 25

I spent most of my time tonight crafting this stonking great big pad sound on the Yamaha Cs2x and almost didn't know what to do with it. It ended up turning out nothing like what I was planning when I went in the studio but never mind. So lots of Cs2x synth pad action and it XG (extended general midi) Koto sound which I think sound quite nice in the mix. Apologies for the slightly blurry crossfades, I managed to knock the camera between tracks."

A DARK PLOT OF LAND Irrational Agent / Ghost Events

Published on Feb 26, 2019 Outsider Sound Design

"Modern experimental music from “a dark plot of land".

Irrational Agent: Ghost Events was recorded live on 2-25-2019 using a modular synthesizer focusing on 3 granular samplers controlled by random modules and chance events.

The Irrational Agent operates a system of circumstances in which the belief and will of the performer/machine/spirit world determine the probability of the results or “ghost events”.

The Irrational Agent works within degrees of belief that certain outcomes are predestined to emerge.

This 35:15 performance is also available to purchase as a 48k sample rate, 24 bit wav file download at https://outsidersounddesign.com/colle...

SEQUENCING 2x Toraiz AS-1

Published on Feb 26, 2019 Alba Ecstasy

"Maybe you are interested to hear how two #ToraizAS1 would fit together in a track, both being sequenced.
On the Toraiz that plays bass, I run a 120BPM sequence. On the other one, a #sequence is playing at 60BPM. No connectivity between them, both are manually synced (and this can be heard a little bit later where they become little out of sync)(and this also shows that at different tempos (even I used a ratio of the tempo), two different Toraiz are...different!).
BTW: both Toraiz are siblings, having consecutive serial numbers: my friend bought it first, last year, mine I bought it a few days ago!
Effects: Boss DD7, Boss RV-6, Neunaber Slate (a little reverb for the bass line)."
