"A high water mark for glassine pads, premier brass stabs, and surprisingly present basses, the Roland Juno 106 is well deserving of it's status as a classic synthesizer. All voices have been refurbished, this is a fully working specimen, with all sliders and pots cleaned and working wonderfully. Physically, this is a synth which shows it's age and use, but operationally this Juno is a superior sonic experience.
*Please note, 2 slider caps are missing, however they are fully functional. Includes new replacement AC power cable."

This is the asian market 100v version which I use with a converter but that is not required. In the demonstration video in the gallery I was running the synth plugged straight into the wall in the US. I'm not going to give technical recommendations on whether our not you should use a converter but I have friends who do not with no issues whatsoever...for decades. Roland power is very robust. But that's for you to decide."

All the patches have designed to be velocity sensitive BUT we decided to add the special modulation sequencer feature,that you will allow you to make prerouting modulation capabilities for each sound !
Need inspiration ?
The 32 sessions are specially designed for you to find fresh ideas for your next compositions.
You will find crazy glitchy wonky beats, lead arpeggios,classic moog paraphonic chords and pad sequences.
We worked out the order organisation of each synth patches.
Each of the patch flip functions is easier and fun.
At a glance :
32 Synth patches from very nasty to lush-sounding covering a wide sonic pallet
32 Drum patches split in 8 Drumkits for the perfect flip and groove combo.
From huge, thumping kick, snappy snares and crisp claps to sweet hi – hats both open and closed, pulsating toms, sizzling shakers and even 808 Cowbell.

Quick Tip: Shift a Sequence Around on a Digitakt Tutorial
Perfect Circuit
"This Quick Tip shows how to shift a sequence on a Digitakt by holding the function key and pushing the left or right arrow buttons. This will shift one track while leaving your other tracks alone, allowing you to quickly try out shifted rhythmic patterns. Although we showed this on an Elektron sequencer there are other sequencers that also allow this same technique, so check if your sequencer does since this can help you come up with new ideas if you are stuck!

Here, we generate a clock signal and run it through Integra Funkitus to skip about half the pulses. That signal is then run through Mutable Instruments Branches, and each coin flip has a chance of being a normal trigger or running through a burst generator. The clock and bursts are then combined in Quantus Pax, and run into Mimetic Digitalis's clock in."

Against The Clock: Bloody Mary
FACTmagazine
"Against The Clock is a series where we give an artist 10 minutes in the studio and see what they come up with.
Bloody Mary has been a fixture on Berlin’s techno scene since she arrived in the city from France in 2005. In 2010 she founded her own label, Dame-Music, which has released music from artists like KiNK, Thomas P. Heckmann and Innerspace Halflife.
In the studio and on stage she makes use of classic gear such as the Roland TR-909 and TR-707 drum machines with modern equipment like the Mode Machine Xoxbox and Dave Smith Pro 2. We paid her a visit to see what kind of techno she could create in just 10 minutes.
Bloody Mary’s latest release, a collaborative EP with Cardopusher, is out now. Find the rest of the Dame-Music catalogue at Bandcamp.

Plugin Alliance Announces Enhanced Emulation of Knifonium Tube-driven Synth
Knif Audio Knifonium - Playthrough
Knif Audio Knifonium - Overview with Matthew Wang
Plugin Alliance
"SANTA CRUZ, CA, USA: Plugin Alliance, supporting all major plugin formats and uniting some of the best-known international audio companies under one virtual roof, is proud to announce availability of Knif Audio Knifonium — solidifying sister company Brainworx Audio’s new plugin partnership with Finnish pro audio equipment extraordinaire Knif Audio as an enhanced emulation of the extraordinary Knifonium, an exceptionally beautiful-sounding monophonic synthesizer that is driven by a whopping 26 vacuum tubes — as of July 7…
Although a new addition to the Plugin Alliance family, the notable Knif Audio name is revered by hardcore synth freaks and audiophile engineers alike. And although lead designer Jonte Knif has been making vacuum tube-based hardware for mixing, mastering, and sound design for years, his Knifonium synth sensation is carefully crafted to be second to none. No one sums it up better than Jonte himself, however, who simply says: “It sounds like nothing else.”
Engineers at Brainworx Audio have taken a great thing and made it even better. Because not only is the plugin version of the Knifonium even more accessible and easier to use than the original, it also adds features that just aren’t possible in the analog world.
With eight independent voices added to the synthesizer, Knif Audio Knifonium opens up an entirely new universe of possibilities as an enhanced emulation — for instance, imagine an atmospheric-sounding pad produced by a total of 208 vacuum tubes!
The software version also adds M/S (mid-side) and stereo Spread capabilities, a powerful Unison mode, as well as the carefully-curated FX section, including a well-known vintage-style Phaser, plugin partner brand SPL’s EQ Ranger, Wavefolder, and more as a wide range of effects that Knif Audio Knifonium users will actually want to use.
Ultimately, Knif Audio Knifonium sounds uniquely rich and captivating — even at its most basic. But best of all, Jonte Knif confirms that it sounds and behaves just like the real thing. This should come as little surprise since Brainworx Audio meticulously modeled the complete circuits of the original hardware — including all 26 tubes, and applied its patented TMT (Tolerance Modeling Technology) to recreate the natural variations in Envelope parameters, Pitch, LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) speed, and so many more characteristics to make this digital recreation sound as realistically analog and natural as possible.
Knif Audio Knifonium is available for purchase (as an AAX AudioSuite-, AAX Native-, AU-, VST2-, and VST3-supporting, fully NKS — Native Kontrol Standard — compatible virtual instrument plugin for macOS 10.9 through 10.15 and Windows 7 through 10)
at an attractive introductory price of $199.99 USD until August 10, 2020 — rising thereafter to an MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of $299.00 USD — from here: https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/knif_audio_knifonium.html"

ARP Odyssey | On The Wire - RIP Buena Pearlman
Alex Ball
Buena Pearlman is Alan R. Pearlman's wife. She passed away Friday, July 3, 2020.
"This is an original composition and performance I made with the ARP Odyssey from the mid-70s.
A few days ago as I was finishing this video I heard that Buena Pearlman had sadly passed at the age of 93. I had the pleasure of briefly speaking to her on a Skype call last year whilst we were recording with an ARP 2002 and she said 'I remember those' with a wry smile when we proudly showed the instrument.
https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obitu...
As a small gesture, I've put this song up on Bandcamp and any sales I generate from it will go to the Alan R Pearlman Foundation.

Thank you"
Update: via Levine Chapels
"Buena (Alcalay) Pearlman, age 93, of Newton, passed away on Friday, July 3, 2020. Beloved wife of the late Alan R. Pearlman. Buena was born in Belgrade, then the capital of Yugoslavia, on August 1, 1926. The lives of Buena, her brother, Albert, and their parents, Lepa and Samuel Alcalay, were interrupted by the German invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. She and her family fled Nazi-occupied Belgrade, where Jews faced near-certain death, and were eventually interned in the Ferramonti camp by Italy's Fascist government before it fell, allowing them an opportunity to escape Europe for good. Years later, she recounted her Holocaust survival story to the Shoah Foundation.
Buena was a bookkeeper for several Massachusetts-based companies including ARP Instruments and The Society of Arts and Crafts. She was a crafts-person in her own right, creating beautiful enamels on copper.
A friend to many, Buena’s humor and kindness will be missed by all who knew her.
Buena is survived by her only daughter, Dina Ruth Pearlman of Kingston, New York and many nephews and cousins."

"Fully functional Ensoniq ZR-76 synthesizer with printed manual and disks.
The ZR-76 is Heavy and built like a tank. It contains stellar grand piano Perfect Piano card and superb panning Rhodes patches, as well as some excellent synthesizer pads and leads.
The ZR-76 was one of the last products Ensoniq designed before being acquired by Creative Technology. Its sound set is very similar to the MR-76, but with the Perfect Piano expansion board preinstalled. With three slots total, it can be expanded with two more of the Ensoniq EXP-series expansion boards. It can also load WAV and AIFF samples from floppy disk if the 4MB MR-FLASH expansion board is installed.
One of the more popular features of the ZR-76 was the "Idea Pad", which is a feature that has the keyboard always recording MIDI of what's being played so that when you play something you want to keep, you can send it to the sequencer for later editing and refinement.
This board is made for producing a whole, movie score, Practically - That's how good the sounds are sampled - some sounds are a little dated similar to Korg and Roland of that era, but when it comes to WoodWinds, Strings, and drum sounds and Natural rain forest loops they are just super clean and Fantastic!
A few cosmetic dings, but nothing broken missing or damaged.
Excellent Weighted Key action.

The name says it all, 12 voices that can be programmed in a matrix like fashion in that the voices are practically fully modular, not to mention that each voice can be its own program and monitored through individual outputs on the side of the machine. This means the Matrix 12 can be a battery of analog drums, or a complex polyphonic patch... or a crazy split and layer and velocity layers.... is your head spinning yet?
Cosmetically this Matrix is in great shape *however* some of the clear plastic has been compromised. We are aware someone is currently making new overlays for the M12 and Xpander, and we'd be happy to install it at no cost to the buyer is the cosmetic defects are bothersome.
We do not find these defects to be of grave concern for this otherwise fine Matrix-12."

1975 Oberheim TVS-1 2-Voice Vintage Analog Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Mid-70's Oberheim 2-Voice TVS-1 vintage analog synth in pristine condition. It is one of the cleanest TVS-1's on the planet and the cleanest one I've had the privilege of owning over the past 25 years of collecting synths. Many years of painstaking work and detail have gone into this synth to get it into the condition you see here.
ABOUT THE TVS-1:
The TVS-1 (or 2-voice) was the first Oberheim polyphonic synthesizer. Oberheim put two standalone S.E.M.'s (synthesizer expander module) into a case with a keyboard and an integrated 8-track sequencer. Really revolutionary for the time. The sequencer could control either S.E.M. and you could play along with the other S.E.M. triggered by the keyboard. Or you could play 2-voice sounds. Or you could sequence both S.E.M.'s externally. The possibilities are endless (almost). What does it sound like? In my opinion, the best album this synth is showcased on is called DROKK by Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury. This entirely instrumental album is an homage to John Carpenter's Escape from New York soundtrack, and they used no less than three 2-voice's on the album. People often ask Tom Oberheim: "What was your favorite synthesizer that Oberheim put out?" And his answer is always: "The Two Voice"! He has since reissued it, but to be honest, it sounds nothing like the original 2-voice. I know, I've compared them side-by-side. The asking price of this pristine example reflects the rarity of such a synth, which is very rare to find on the used market in this condition, fully functioning.
FUNCTIONALITY:
No double-triggering of switches. Everything works as it should. No crackly pots. All knobs/pots/switches/LED's function as they should. There are some anomalies when using the sequencer to trigger the S.E.M's, particularly when setting the octave switch lower or higher and playing the keyboard. This is detailed in the original owner's manual, page one (included), and is standard for all 2-voice synths. I learned to work within the limitations of what Tom designed.
I removed every key and replaced and lubed every single bushing on the synth. I also dialed in the j-wires so the keys all trigger identically. Every tine on the keybed was meticulously adjusted so that the keys are level and consistent front to back and across the keybed. It now plays very smooth—like butter. Nobody takes this kind of care with older synths, but I do!
The synth was recently overhauled and electronically serviced by my tech and no expense was spared to get it to the state where it will continue to function well for many years to come."

The sequencer could control either S.E.M. and you could play along with the other S.E.M. triggered by the keyboard. Or you could play 2-voice sounds. Or you could sequence both S.E.M.'s externally. The possibilities are endless (almost). What does it sound like? In my opinion, the best album this synth is showcased on is called DROKK by Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury. This entirely instrumental album is an homage to John Carpenter's Escape from New York soundtrack, and they used no less than three 2-voice's on the album. People often ask Tom Oberheim: "What was your favorite synthesizer that Oberheim put out?" And his answer is always: "The Two Voice"! He has since reissued it, but to be honest, it sounds nothing like the original 2-voice. I know, I've compared them side-by-side. The asking price of this pristine example reflects the rarity of such a synth, which is very rare to find on the used market in this condition, fully functioning.
FUNCTIONALITY:No double-triggering of switches. Everything works as it should. No crackly pots. All knobs/pots/switches/LED's function as they should. There are some anomalies when using the sequencer to trigger the S.E.M's, particularly when setting the octave switch lower or higher and playing the keyboard. This is detailed in the original owner's manual, page one (included), and is standard for all 2-voice synths. I learned to work within the limitations of what Tom designed.
I removed every key and replaced and lubed every single bushing on the synth. I also dialed in the j-wires so the keys all trigger identically. Every tine on the keybed was meticulously adjusted so that the keys are level and consistent front to back and across the keybed. It now plays very smooth—like butter. Nobody takes this kind of care with older synths, but I do!
The synth was recently overhauled and electronically serviced by my tech and no expense was spared to get it to the state where it will continue to function well for many years to come."

Kind of interesting to see the inside. Note it's missing the front panel. This is just the rest of the case.
