"The -Osage Organ- from Ellitone Instruments is a Polyphonic (15 Voice) Digital (32-bit) Wavetable Vector Synthesizer.
The Power and Unique Tonalities created by this Instrument Derive from its ability to Dynamically Crossfade or "Morph" between 4 different Waveform Shapes in realtime.
The Control Interface for this Synthesizer is arranged into 3 paneled sections, these 3 sections consist of 2 Identical -Vector Chord-Engines- and a Middle Panel for Global Pitch Settings.
Each of these Vector Chord-Engines are essentially a complete and independent polyphonic vector synthesizer by themselves. Interesting tones and textures are created by mixing and layering the 2 Vector Chord-Engines together.
"AE Modular -Tangible Waves-A little fun with SEQ16 / Filter Wasp / ENV mainly use seq 16 step sequencer with shortening the sound by envelope and opening more filter cv, also added spring reverb and for a moment divider and later use reset in seq16 for sequence shortening and example sound VCO plus those modules in the sequence that show slightly the face of this small cheap system but presenting a great analog sound."
"One of the most underrated modular synths ! Here's your chance to tweak the versatile legend with the deep bass and awesome filters This legendary MS50 has just been refurbished, serviced and checked by Melbourne's well-respected Brett Maddaford. It looks and sounds better than ever (I wish I had done this earlier). Only selling because it doesn't get as much playtime with me as it deserves.
"While restoring this ARP Axxe I found that the voltage controlled filter wasn't working right--it wasn't filtering anything! In this video we put the filter into my ARP Filter test fixture and track down the problem using the schematics.
Parts, service and synthesizers available on my website."
"Korg announced their 'Nu:Tekt Digital Synthesizer Kit' during Superbooth 2019. It's a very small, digital synthesiser, that comes in an 'assemble yourself' kit. It's the same digital platform and engine as the Minilogue XD, and Prologue's third oscillator, and digital FX."
"I really love the Prok Eurorack drum modules CHECK THE DEMO HERE - [posted here] - and with a new FM mode for the kick, flanger for the hats, dub style delay with everything from washy repeats to karplus zaps, new gated reverb for the clap and all of this is embedded in the DSP synthesis running on the modules. The new editor is available through Thonk and a new sound bank from Cristian Vogel is to come soon too."
"Very simple Eurorack Modular jam with the AJH Synth MiniMod system, Gemini 2412 filter, Sonic XV filter, Ring SM, Expert Sleepers FH-2 & more. Just a test really, to familiarize myself with the Gemini and FH-2. Enable subtitles for an explanation.
I just recently bought the Gemini, along with the Gain Switch and an additional VCA in order to finally finish of my 6x84hp AJH system (although I'd like to add a third row at some point). I've also upgraded my Expert Sleepers FH-1 to the FH-2, something I can definitely recommend to others, as it is excellent. I've had to sell a fair amount of my other gear to fund getting to this point, some of the modules in the grey case will also be going soon, and I've got myself in considerably more debt, so please bear this in mind before complaining that I've sold whichever other instrument or gear I've featured in the past - I don't sell them for fun, it's out of financial neccessity. Of course, if you wish to send me the instrument or gear for free, then sure, I'll make more videos for them! ;)

Synth Wizards Episode 2: Juno We Could Make It Do That? Published on Dec 27, 2016 Syntaur
"One of a kind custom Juno 106 for sale with 6 new voice chips!
Syntaur pulled out all the stops to make this amazing one-of-a-kind synthesizer! They have taken a classic Roland Juno-106, and added some very cool new features:
Patch Sweep function that cycles through the eight programs in any bank at an adjustable speed, making for an animated barrage of sound
Audio Input that lets you route any line-level audio signal through the Juno's silky chorus effect
All-new Analogue Renaissance voice chips that will last a lifetime
Standard AC inlet that uses a common IEC power cable
Lighted clear bender, all new LEDs, chromed knobs and buttons, and custom panel graphics
The making of this synthesizer was documented in Episode 2 of 'Synth Wizards', in Syntaur’s video web series. (See video below - you can see the final synth and hear it in action beginning at 18:50.)"
"With the advent of user sampling at the end of 2018, there now is a fantastic new ability for artists to use their custom sounds while creating electronic sound designs and cinematic soundscapes on both the Prophet X and XL synthesizers. This development, plus the multiple add-on packs from 8Dio featuring deep sampled versions of many vintage legacy synthesizers, gives the platform a vastly expanded sound palette."
"President of Industrial Music Electronics Scott Jaegar has spent the last couple of years working on some major updates to some of his classic modules. We have already had the Hertz Donut Mk3 and the Piston Honda mk3 earlier this year, so it is only right that Scott is updating his classic 12dB digital filter Bionic Lester and the Andore Jr.
The Bionic Lester is a 12dB digital filter with morphing filter type, overdrive and clipping with assignable cv inputs and link mode for dual peak/stereo operation. Andore Jr is an Analogue low pass gate with VCA, dual ADSR generator with independant I/O and shared controls, VC velocity, log/lin/exp shape control.
Before things got busy at Berlin's FEZ Superbooth location this morning, we managed to sit down together in the sun and have a casual chat about our AE Modular Synth experiences and how we got into the format."
"I was just messing around this morning and tried using two iPhones for video. It worked pretty well. Honestly, I'm more excited about the video than the audio but I do enjoy making ambient tracks."
"Playing relaxing ambient drone music on Yamaha AN1x digital / virtual analog synthesizer.
This relaxing ambient drone music soundscape created via Yamaha AN1x sequencer, reverb, envelope and LFO modulation.
The Yamaha AN1x is a versatile 10-voice digital synth that can create some amazing ambient soundscapes and drones."
"On the last day, MFB from Berlin surprisingly introduced the MFB - SYNTH 8, a new 8-voice desktop polyphonic analog Synthesizer with 3 oscillators, 2 filters, step sequencer, onboard effects, presets and more. Here is my first look of the MFB-SYNTH 8"
"Cosmetically mint Roland JD-800. Key bed replaced! No red glue :-). No scratches or dings, for a 30 year old synth there are few left in this condition."
"How to approximate the infamous “Krell Patch” on volca modular- a classic sci-fi west coast modular soundscape. Check back each week for simple patches that you can follow along on your volca modular at home!"
"Lots of new digital developments by Erica Synths, plus some analog designs, presented by different team members in a musical context at SUPERBOOTH19."
"Almost all waveforms can be expressed in terms of a few parameters: frequency, phase, amplitude and timbre. It is through modulation of these aspects that synthesists create electronic sound. With Generate 3, it is now possible to create a signal and control all its parameters by through-zero modulation within a single 12 HP wide module.
This is a very precise and great sounding osicllator, Joran says he can get 10 octaves of accurate pitch tracking out of this thing!"
"Always keen for some acid, so you head to DinSync.org. Squelchy wet and wild, the JP-One takes its cues from around the roland history, with some inspiration from the Jupiter 6 and others to boot, this mono synth sounded lovely."
"If you're ever wondering where to start in eurorack then the Music Thing Modular Startup is probably a good place to start. It gives you a bunch of simple utility functions to help with when you're just starting in the modular world, including tap tempo clock with a multi-function secondary clock, a simple mixer and heaphone outputs."
"When we first saw this at NAMM earlier this year, we really thought that this would be one of those sythesizers that never sees the light of day. No disrepect to Gamechanger Audio, it is just such a mad concept that we thought it might have to be one for the annuls of history... But they really have proved us wrong."
"Reon show us their Driftbox, Wizlink & Loci II units.
Drift box R analogue synth with MIDI /CV.
Drift box S dual VCO analogue desktop synthesizer with 4-axis joystick controls.
Drift box SE is a dual DCO 4-voice Paraphonic analogue desktop synthesizer.
Wizlink prototype modular system featuring VCO,VCF, VCA, EG and Mixer.
Loci MicroSinger FM synthesizer. Small pocket-size unit."
"Superbooth 2019 Soma Pulsar 23 analog drum machine. Probably the most versatile and interesting analog drum machine ever made! At least for me it is!
I made this video with limited time. And did not explore all the possibilities. so many! please bear in mind I had no manual and was figuring out how it worked as I went, I did not explore patching very much there is just so much to figure out and it has such a broad range of sound possibilities even before you start patching.
Also the sequencer does not quantize, but it has midi and has individual outs."
"Jan Hennig, a.k.a. Kabuki, is a veteran of the German Jungle/Bass/Hip-hop scene; a producer, DJ, and modular synth fanatic going back more than 20 years. In this presentation for Softube, he will combine their software Eurorack system, Modular, with hardware modules to explore polyphonic patches and the creation of complex harmonies. Using the extended toolkit of software to build shift registers and sequencing machines that would be prohibitively cumbersome and expensive in hardware, as well as unique input controllers (not a keyboard), Kabuki will make sounds and textures you’ll be surprised and delighted to hear."
"Jeff Snyder and Josh Becker present the Snyderphonics Manta, a touch-sensitive hexagonal grid controller, and the Snyderphonics MantaMate, a Eurorack module that allows the use of the Manta as a powerful sequencer/keyboard for a modular synth, along with additional functionality including converting game joysticks to analog voltage, communication with a computer over USB-MIDI, and a surprisingly rich set of utility features such as multi-channel random voltage pattern generation and clock division. They will also use the soon-to-be-released Snyderphonics Genera, a DSP Eurorack module with an unusual set of synthesis and effects algorithms."
"WMD: Practicing improvisation for live eurorack performances
Coming up with ideas on the spot can be a daunting, intimidating chore. However so is preparing an entire live set only to find out that it is the wrong vibe for the room. Alex from WMD dives into how to find ideas on the fly and how WMD is working towards making this goal easier with their new products."
"Xaoc Devices always have a lot to show of at the shows and this year is no different! They had Sarajewo a Syncable Analog Delay Line, Jena Binary Transfunctioner, Timiszoara Voltage Controlled DSP Effektor and Samare II utilities and a quick update on the Odessa Harmonic Oscillator.
Analog syncable delay line is something very special indeed, so we were keen to check this out and everything else from XAOC."
"vpme.de only have a couple of products, but they definitely have a thing about circular colourful lights, but then again don't we all?... The Quad Drum Voice is a Eurorack module that gives you a ton of features, each drum voice can be a sample player, a wavetable VCO or a digital drum model."
