CON·VER·GENCE [ MU Modular session w/ Acidlab Bassline3 + Drumatix ]
alternatingbitmusic
"Most of the sound from the modular system is coming from the Freestate FX adapted BRAIDS (Macro Digital Oscillator) and the Synthetic Sound Labs adapted PLAITS module they call Woven Spirits. Really cool stuff, with the Mankato filter modulated by a sample & hold."
The Modular Remedy - Dub Techno Session
alternatingbitmusic
"Using an MU modular system to create some dub techno. No drum machine involved."
Future Retro Revolution
1975 "Pete's ARP Opera" Ad
via Retro Synth Ads where you'll find the full write-up.
"ARP 'Pete's ARP Opera' black and white advertisement from the June 5, 1975 issue of Downbeat magazine."
Update via Steve Hofer in the comments: "From $995", to put that in perspective $995 in 1975 dollars would be $4,812.79 in 2020 dollars. Can you imagine a brand-wide synth ad "From $4,812.79"?

ROLAND SYSTEM-100 MODEL 101 Analog Synthesizer SN 480653

via this auction
"Note: All Model 101 key contacts we have seen in recent times have been worn out to some degree. This unit is probably no exception. What this means is that, even after a proper cleaning, keys may sometimes re-trigger. If this bothers you, we recommend using an external CV and gate source such as another keyboard, a MIDI to CV converter, or a CV gate sequencer.
Like nearly all the high end vintage analog synths we sell, this item has been METICULOUSLY disassembled, cleaned inside and out, FULLY serviced by professionals who’ve been servicing and selling vintage synths for more than the last 2 decades, and systematically tested multiple times over a long period to ensure it’s working exactly as it should. No BS. No ebay surprises. We’re perfectionists and don’t cut corners. Although this instrument came to us in relatively good shape, we want our items to be better than the rest and invested *many* hours of tech time plus parts costs to fully overhaul this unit so it would be clean, working like new again and as reliable as possible for its next owner. This was a serious investment of time, love, and money, and was definitely worth the effort and is of course reflected in the higher than usual price. If you’re looking for a great sounding example of this model that works just like it should without needing to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in tech fees and waiting from weeks to years, this one should make you very happy."

Newest TAL-J-8 great Roland Jupiter 8 emulation with darkest Roland SH2 possible.
PawelBlaszczak_Composer
"Here is next preview of my upcoming album. Since I think hybrid is the best, here is newest Roland Jupiter 8 made by TAL playing together with Roland SH2."
"The TAL-J-8 is a very accurate emulation of the popular 80’s hardware synthesiser and calibrated after our own Jupiter 8 device. All sounds are generated in realtime without the use of any samples with the same endless modulation possibilities like the hardware and useful additional features like the calibration section that can make the filter scream.
Authentic emulation of the 80's hardware synthesizer.
Use the calibration section for extreme resonance and filter overdrive.
VCO based UNISON with stereo spread option and a full stereo signal path.
MPE support.
More than 200 factory presets by solidtrax, emptyvessel and others."

Sonicware Liven 8 Bit Warps - Chiptune Jam
ChrisLody
"I'm very excited that the lovely people over at Sonicware were nice enough to send me a Liven 8 Bit Warps for free so I can make them some promotional material with it. I've spent a few days playing around with it and I've been really impressed with what I've seen so far.
At it's heart the Liven 8 Bit Warps is a wavetable synthesizer and sequencer designed to emulate the sound chips in old 8 bit computer and consoles like the Nintendo NES and Gameboy. All it's oscillators are built from tiny wavetables on just 32 samples long so they have a really gritty sound, they are even editable through the front panel by hand.
There are 4 different synth engines including an FM mode which is how I have made the drums for this track, with some harsh modulation and plenty of programming.
It has another trick up it's sleeve too which is a 4 track audio looper meaning I can load a pattern, record it into the looper and play it back along with other loops and/or the live pattern loaded into the sequencer. So plenty to build whole tracks, I have much more to explore too!"

1974 Moog White Elephant CDX-0652 Vintage Cordovox Combo Organ & Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Up for sale, a 1974 Moog/Cordovox "White Elephant" CDX-0652 vintage dual manual synth/combo organ, fully serviced and optimally functional. A truly one-of-a-kind circuit, the White Elephant is not only a very rare, sonically complex behemoth, it's also a circuit that very few techs will tackle. Thankfully we've wrangled the beast, and to the tune of $1500+ worth of thorough servicing, this Elephant delivers the goods.
A joint venture between Moog and Corodovox, the Moog Satellite synthesizer was licensed by Thomas Organ for a particularly hefty price tag, and Thomas designed a circuit that integrated Moog's synth technology with traditional combo organ features, offered via the Cordovox brand as the CDX-0652. The keyboard was produced in Italy by EME, the same factory responsible for most of Vox's Italian combo organs including the Jaguar and Continental.
The synthesizer voices play only on the upper manual, while the organ voices play on both, with organ and synth sections simultaneously available on the upper manual. The CDX-0652 also includes a batch of 9 preset synthesizer voices which don't appear on a Moog Satellite. The sonic options available are vast, with banks of switches, buttons, and sliders to shape both the combo organ and Moog circuitry. The Moog bass signal can also be accessed on the lower manual and blended with the organ, and the combo organ even has a full percussion bank.

Spectral Audio Neptune 2 SN 50122
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Great Swiss made, rack-mountable monophonic analog synthesizer. It is a true analog beast, no DCOs here!
- Two Oscillators a ring modulator and distortion/fuzz.
- The LFO can be switched to audio range, so it can function as a third (or sub) oscillator.
- The synth has MIDI IN-OUT-THRU
- CV controlinput - which is switchable to CV-in or CV-out.
- There is an audio input to process other sounds through the filter, distortion... you can mix the external source with oscillator 1 and modulate everything with LFO.
It was made at a time when everything wanted to sound like the Roland TB-303 and MOOG. So this Swiss-made mutant beast goes also into Moog territory - it is much more than just a TB-303 emulator.
Remember to let it heat up to operating temperature - it takes 30 to 40 minutes in winter - but you wont regret it."

Pipa – Expressive Vocal Synthesizer
Klevgrand
"Pipa is a singing vocal synth with a unique and different sound. It is inspired by the expression and flexibility of the human voice, but does not aim to cover all the aspects of an actual voice. Instead, it focuses on an organic and musical sound where the user has the possibility to control formants and dynamics seamlessly.
The synth engine is a crossover between a wavetable- and a granulating synthesizer, which results in a very expressive and playable instrument. Instead of using ordinary samples or processing oscillators with formant filters, Pipa uses a large database of thousands of wavetables extracted from real vocal samples. The advantage of the technique being used is that it’s possible to seamlessly morph between wavetables with proper phase alignment. This enables Pipa to continuously make transitions between pitch, formants and dynamics, which is very useful in a musical context." Find the free demo at www.klevgrand.se
