Gorilla on a Synth

This one is in via Phil A

"Couldn’t resist before sending the ape off as a birthday present. As you can probably see it’s perched on an MS2000B (black-blue instead of the steel-blue of MS2k, + vocoder mic jack and some extra sounds), which is above a Polaris II (which as far as I can tell is functionally the same as the original Polaris other than having menus & shortcuts silkscreened in the back right corner, and originally coming with a 100VAC power supply for use in Japan)."

YAMAHA DX7 Digital Synthesizer 1983 + JAHN SPX 1.6 Expansion | HD DEMO

AnalogAudio1

"(c) 2020 by AnalogAudio1

Demo of the YAMAHA DX7 digital synthesizer (frequency modulation synthesis) from 1983. I played it along with a Lexicon MPX 500 (reverb).

This DX7 has the JAHN SPX 1.6 installed. This is a great expansion from Germany, which was available in the eighties. It adds some very cool features, such as "double" mode (2 voices per key/8 voice polyphonic) and "quadro" mode (4 voices per key/4 voice polyphonic), which makes the sound really fat. These voices can be detuned like on analog synths, to make fat sounds possible. It also expands the RAM memory to 128 (4 internal banks). The MIDI OUT channel can be set from 1 to 16 (not only MIDI IN).

I bought the new backlit display from Ebay. A DX7 expanded this way sounds excellent! The DX7 MK1 is my favorite DX7 version, I prefer it over the newer DX7II, because it has the better basic sound, is simpler to use, it's better built, and has a better MIDI timing. And you have a real classic, which is heard on tons of eighties hits."

Quasimidi GIGA-Card

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

This one was spotted here and sent in via M Me.

Never seen one of these before. The following is the description in Dutch followed by Googlish:

"Voordat Quasimidi legendarische synthesizers uitbracht, maakten ze sound expansions voor een aantal duur segment keyboards van onder andere Roland.

Deze expansion is daar een toppunt van. 512 styles en begeleiding patches voor de E-serie keyboards van Roland. Roland heeft zelf een reeks kaartjes uitgebracht onder de types TN-SCx-xx waar maximaal 8 styles op zijn opgeslagen. Dit kastje heeft er dus 512. Deze 512 zijn opgeslagen in blokken van 8, waar via het menu telkens een andere 'kaart' kan worden ingeladen.

Ik heb zelf de E-70 gehad en er best lol van gehad. Vooral de Peter Gunn style waar dat bekende intro van Emerson, Lake and Palmer perfect wordt nagebootst en je heerlijk op kan varieren.

Dus als je nog een Roland Intelligent Synthesizer E-nogwat hebt die TN kaartjes slikt, ik raad 'm 100% aan!

De Giga-card is bij voorkeur op te halen in Zaandam, daar het een wat ouder stukje techniek is. Testen kan helaas niet want ik heb geen E keyboard meer. Verzenden is uiteraard mogelijk, maar zijn alle risico's voor de koper."

Googlish:

"Before Quasimidi released legendary synthesizers, they made sound expansions for a number of expensive segment keyboards from Roland, among others.

This expansion is the pinnacle of that. 512 styles and accompaniment patches for Roland's E-series keyboards. Roland has released a series of cards under the types TN-SCx-xx where a maximum of 8 styles are stored. This box therefore has 512. These 512 are stored in blocks of 8, where a different 'card' can be loaded each time via the menu.

I have had the E-70 myself and had quite a bit of fun. Especially the Peter Gunn style where that famous intro of Emerson, Lake and Palmer is perfectly simulated and you can vary wonderfully.

So if you have another Roland Intelligent Synthesizer E-something that swallows TN cards, I recommend it 100%!

The Giga-card can preferably be picked up in Zaandam, as it is a somewhat older piece of technology. Unfortunately, testing is not possible because I no longer have an E keyboard. Shipping is of course possible, but all risks are for the buyer."

"Third part of an introduction to the modulation section of my AJH Synth Eurorack modular synth, which began with the Dual LFO + VCA, then the CV Mix/Offset, and now the Sample Hold & Slew module. This is an analogue Sample & Hold module on steroids, and really surprised me by how much it can do. Videos covering the Gemini Dual VCF and the Next Phase phaser module coming soon.

"Spring is finally in the air here in Melbourne - here's a piece inspired by this time of year, featuring the incredible Novation Summit and the very unique Touché MIDI touch controller by Expressive E!

In this track, the Touché is connected to the Novation Summit via MIDI and is setup to simultaneously control a number of parameters such as pitch bend, modulation, filter cutoff, reverb and delay FX. Everything you hear here is 2 tracks coming from the Novation Summit - no external effects have been used!

Gotharman's Tiny LD // Granular Synthesizer Beats #TTNM

THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Here's a granular, re-sampled, stereo beat jam with my new Tiny LD synthesizer from Gotharman! MORE INFO BELOW :-)

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

The Tiny LD is the small version of Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 synth & sampler workstation. It runs the same operating system and offers the same features, but with fewer physical controls and expansion options. The small size make it a nicely portable, yet super deep, granular synth all-in-one instrument.

For this jam session I created various synth, noise and drum sounds with the internal digital synth engines of the Tiny LD. I added some of its internal effects and then partly re-sampled the outcome and put it back together in a granularized fashion :D

Roland VC-1 V-card D-50 Linear Synthesizer board V-Synth

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

via this auction

"The Legendary D-50 Reborn. Roland’s new V-Cards are a series of PC Cards capable of turning the V-Synth into a variety of retro and future-oriented synthesizers. The first card is the VC-1, which magically transforms the V-Synth into Roland’s legendary D-50 L/A Synthesizer. Simply pop in the card, power up, and you’ll be taken back to the year 1987, when Roland’s D-50 ruled supreme. Relive the D-50 in all its glory—including full programmability and all the original Patches like “Digital Native Dance,” “Living Calliope” and more. Every circuit and precise detail of this legendary synthesizer has been faithfully modeled. It doesn’t just sound like a D-50, it is a D-50! Look for more V-Cards in the future. Only from Roland.

PC Card turns the V-Synth into a complete and accurate reconstruction of Roland’s groundbreaking D-50 L/A Synthesizer

Includes all original presets like “Fantasia,” “Living Calliope” and “Intruder FX”

Full programmability using the V-Synth’s touchscreen, knobs and sliders

TimeTrip Pad serves as D-50’s Partial Balance joystick

Original D-50 Patches can be loaded via MIDI bulk dump

D-50 firmware loads instantly when booted with card*

*When card is inserted, only D-50 synthesis can be accessed. Normal V-Synth functions cannot be used unless rebooted without card."

Macbeth X-Series Micromac-D

via this auction

"A masterpiece by Scottish synth designer genius Ken Macbeth, this is Ken’s take on the classic Minimoog Model D concept of a 3-VCO synth with a 24db ladder filter.

Ken Macbeth is - besides Wowa Cwejman - the best boutique analog synth builder of our time, doing everything the old-school way of through-hole solering. This is true analog!

The sound that his synths deliver is simply out of this world and the Micromac D is no exception. Despite its desktop size it packs a heavy punch. Seriously - in terms of sound this is as good as it gets.

Eurorack Modular Synthesizer Cases 104hp 9u Custom Maple Ply Hand Crafted

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

via this auction

"Two custom, hand crafted Eurorack cases for sale, 104hp by 9u, 312 total hp... Inspired by vintage NASA control consoles, made from maple ply, and finished in natural and dark mahogany. The cases are made from solid, half inch maple ply with pocket hole construction, stained then finished in satin polyurethane. These will be a great looking addition to any studio, or can easily go into to a soft case for transport. The aluminum rails have 50 slide nuts on each 3u section, modules are for display purposes only and not included. Each case measures 22.25" L x 14" W x 16" H.
Power can easily be added to these with a TipTop audio power supply with a flying bus board. There is also plenty of room inside for one or more mean well power supplies with multiple bus boards.

If you need portability, these will fit into a gig bag, search for a Gator 12 or 15 inch subwoofer bag, for instance, GPA-TOTE15, these can be found for around forty bucks. I use one of these for mine, it's a 120hp case, the 12 may work for the cases listed here, certainly the 15 will do it.

Just an FYI, the dark areas on the back and front of the light colored case are natural variations in the maple wood tone, they are not a staining anomaly!"
