This is the system featured in this recent video.

"Unbelievable piece of Roland history in museum condition. Here is the Fully Working Roland CMU-800R setup together with Apple II computer. This is not just working CMU-800 in pristine condition. It comes together with Apple II interface card impossible to find and Apple II software. It's fully running and working. CMU-800 is also modified to introduce drum sounds tuning. This is the professional upgrade performed in my workshop. No corners cut. Apple II is retrobrighted, comes with a monitor and keyboard and also includes FLOPPY Emulator. It also comes with the original floppy drive, if you prefer to keep authentic. This is one of set up, that you'll enjoy.
That is CMU-800R? It's essentially computer based synth/interface designed early 80s. It combines 6 synth parts - Melody, Bass, Chord (4 voices) and TR-606 style analog drums. It also has 8 CV/Gate interfaces, Roland composer software to operate it. NO MIDI :)

Check out the video I recorded of this exact system: [posted here]

Electric Lyre + Modular Synth

Pics of the inside below.

"Rare Voyetra 8 Rev 4. Fully rebuilt 10 years ago by Peter Lanzilotta of Double-Take Studio Services. Mr Lanzilotta was a tech for Octave Plateau when these were still being made.

It is still fully functional with no need go back so far.

Note that the Rev 4 portion is critical. This version works with MIDI librarians like MIDI Quest Pro. The earlier versions had a much more limited UI and if you want to make the most of this synth and it's unique abilities you will want to configure it over MIDI."

Waldorf Microwave PC Microwave II XT w/Editor

via this auction

"Extremely rare Waldorf Microwave PC. Essentially a Microwave XT, these were manufactured in coordination with the Terratec EWS64 XXL sound cards.

What’s included is a Windows 98 PC with SSD and Microwave Software, a touchscreen monitor, PC keyboard and mouse. As the parts are vintage, they are in good condition, but old. It has stereo digital out, which the hardware version does not have as far as I know.

Everything is controlable via MIDI and onscreen with touch or mouse. Better workflow than the hardware with a small LCD display and scrolling through menus. This setup is fully functional and works great, but please keep in mind the computer and setup is home brewed. There are some compromises in the build with some exposed wires and monitor customization.

Overall this is an incredibly rare opportunity to get a full on, turn key

How to make Unique FM Sounds with Graphic VCO and Fusion VCO 2 from #EricaSynths!


Dziam Bass

"Hello everyone.

Today I publish a small demo tutorial on how to create unique FM sounds by combining Syntesis Wavetable on the Graphic VCO module and with the Fusion VCO2 oscillator based on the Tube Vacuum.

As you notice in this case both unique modules and they allow me to create an amazing palette of different sounds.

I am introducing Graphic VCO Out to FM in, thanks to many wavetables I have access to new waves that add to the sound with Fusion VCO 2.

Both work great and complement each other as the Tube sound gets new unique waves and the amount of introductions in FM In and Pitch gives you the freedom to create new sublime and unknown sounds.

It can also add on-the-fly effects such as Wavewrap, Ring modulations or Phase distortion from Garphic VCO which creates new and new colors and shapes of penetrating waves.

See alone in a few small examples ... I leave the rest for your imagination and my own experimentation if you have these modules .."

FM - Summit Series // Novation


NovationTV

"In this Summit deep dive -CALC- shows you how you can play with the FM section of Summit to do loads of sound sculpting and create some really interesting sounds from our flagship polysynth.

With its multitimbral architecture and 16 voices of polyphony, Summit is like two Peaks in one instrument, enabling two completely independent patches to be split or layered across the keyboard, or switched between on the fly. And, that’s not the end of it: the addition of dual filters, greatly extended front panel controls, audio input and the same premium-quality five-octave keyboard introduced with our SL MkIII MIDI controller, put Summit in a creative league of its own.

SE Boomstar 3003 synthesizer demo (no talking, no effects)


Single Use

"There aren't a lot of bare bones tweaking demos of the Boomstar 3003 monosynth by Studio Electronics so figured I would post one. No effects or compression applied. Mostly using saw but some square in there too. The synthesizer has decent range though I would definitely say it leans towards rambunctiousness over precision. The filter being low pass and raw means it tends towards thick, wide spectrum sounds so can be a bit greedy in the mix. This is the original model so the legending and visibility is a bit jank. I definitely plan to add some colour to the knobs to make it easier to navigate quickly.

Been playing with it incessantly since I got it though which is a good sign - often just holding down a key and drooling. =)"

Node Live at the Royal College of Music (Blu-ray)



A new release from supporting member, Node.


"Synth supergroup Node featuring Dave Bessell, Ed Buller, Flood and Mel Wesson have released a live bluray of their performance at London's Royal College of Music. Appearances of Node live are incredibly rare but when they happen they unleash their full 'shock and awe' arsenal of vintage analogue synths in a stage performance that is played entirely in real time. Featuring probably the largest collection of such synthesizers ever gathered on a single stage this is a rare opportunity to hear these vintage machines in full flight handled by masters of the art. Released as a limited edition of 500 - when they are gone they are gone.

If you don't have the means to play Bluray then no worries you can also get this live performance in audio cd or download from DiN records here - https://din.org.uk/album/node-live-din55"

Smiling Jam in E Minor // Novation Peak // Moog Sirin // Fugue Machine :: [synth recipe #79]


syncworm

"syncworm proudly presents:

Recipe #079
Ingredients:

– Fugue Machine (running on iPad Pro)
– Moog Sirin
– Novation Peak

– RME Babyface Pro


So, what's going on here?

AUDIO CONNECTIONS:
Nothing complicated here. Both Sirin and Peak go straight into the mixer/DAW.

MIDI/CLOCK:
iPad is a master clock in this one and sends MIDI information to both the instruments. In Fuguemachine you can assing a different MIDI chanel to each voice. Here three playheads are set to drive most of the voices on the Peak while a single playhead (different MIDI chanel) drives Moog.

MUSIC:
As far as I remember it's e minor pentatonic going in a loop which is nice beacuse most of the notes just go together pretty nicely.

Enjoy this little recipe and
STAY IN SYNC!"

One To Watch: JakoJako (Electronic Beats TV)


Telekom Electronic Beats

"Next in our Telekom Electronic Beats TV One To Watch series is JakoJako.

Working at the legendary Schneiders Laden synthesizer store in Berlin has immersed JakoJako in the world of modular synthesizers, which is clearly born out in the juicy sound she coaxes out of her machines, spanning all the way from the experimental and esoteric, right through to the highly melodic. This unique tonal quality gained the attention of Leisure System, who released her debut single last year, and more recently Bpitch Control, making her very much an essential producer to check out."

SYNTH VS SYNTH -- Moog SUB 37 or Moog Grandmother?


Noir Et Blanc Vie

"First off this is NOT a review, this is a somewhat chronicle of my time owning both.
So here we go (Mario 64 voice) it takes TIME to AKCHEWELY learn and give a real take on a piece. So a year later here it is, and keep in mind, I'm a human, I can't really give an "objective" opinion, if you want that read both user manuals and tell yourself which is better that's the only way objective opinions on creative pieces work LOL.

That said, I hope my take as a person who has had tons of experience with the Little Phatty, Slim Phatty, Minitaur, Mother-32 brings some clarity."

"Is the Octatrack Still Relevant in 2020? Or is it just for the old heads? It’s got all the knobs and buttons. The kind things old-school producers like. I think physical detail appeals to middle aged artists. Remember G.I. Joe action figures. They had the most detail ever! So many features packed into one toy. Guess what? That’s exactly what the Octatrack is! In this video we use the sampling engine of the #Elektron #Octatrack to transform outdoor sounds into…. well something. Let’s see what we get!
