Analog synthesizers live demo 7; feat. Kraftwerk and Vangelis ; please use headphones

video by Synthe_64

"please use headphones: since this is recorded live, the mixing is not very good, but when you use headphones you will hear all extras like bass, wind, phasing, panning etc.
In this demo you can hear the mighty analog synths: Moog minimoog ( 1973 ), Korg MS10, Yamaha CS10 and Roland SH2.
More recent are the Roland U220 and Yamaha FB01 midi modules. The newbies are the Arp Odissey ( Korg ) and Arturia Microbrute. The modulars are Pittsburgh Modular and Doepfer Dark Energy along with the Dark Time.
Rhythm provided by the Akai Rhythm Wolf.
Everything is played live. No prerecording, post editing or mixing."

MPG-8X Controller for the MKS-80 Super Jupiter | Review

video by Espen Kraft

"I've been so lucky to be the first to try out the new MPG-8X from Retroaktiv, for the mighty Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter from 1985.

The Super Jupiter was one of the pros most used synth modules in the 80s. It appears on countless hit records and all debate set aside, it really is the best of both the Jupiter 8 and Jupiter 6, all rolled into one box. I will focus on the Super Jupiter in the next video, and why it's still so coveted, but this video is all about the controller itself that really crushes the original MPG-80 in terms of features and usability, although I freely admit that the original is still desirable and if you're a purist only the original will do. From practical standpoint the MPG-8X is really the best of the two, by far.

Again, a big thanks to Anders Jensen for loaning me his MKS-80, but also to Brynjulf Blix for loaning me another MKS-80 for the review. I will show some very cool footage of how the modules actually found their way to my studio, in the next video, the MKS-80 video."

PLAYING GOLDEN DAWN MODULAR SYNTHESIZER - COMPLEX PATCH

video by Adam Miklaszewski

"Golden Dawn modular system is a DIY project I've been working on in past months. Synthesizer consists of analog vco, digital experimental vco with 6 modes of synthesis, 2x lfo, 2x attenuator, simple AD envelope, resonant filter, passive HP LP filter, digital delay, 4 channel mixer, sequencer and white noise generator. Modules can be connected by breadboard atch cables and extended onto a bradboard. It uses single 9v power supply or battery and provides 9v output and 5v output for modulation and powering additional modules. Envelope generator can be triggered by touch and filter can be controlled by light.

In the video im playing on a single complex patch, changing rates of modulation and CV intensity. I've put on stereo reverb in DAW.

cheers

Korg DS-8 1987 FM Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"Working perfectly, very unique sounds

The DS-8 is Korg's contender among synths like the Roland D-50 and Yamaha DX7. It is a digital FM synthesizer with 4-operators per voice, 8 voices of polyphony and 8 parts multitimbrality. It's good for percussive, strange effect noises and such because its sound (similar to the DX7) is so unique. It has some digital effects such as chorus, flange, delay and analog-like controls for modulators, envelopes and the LFO. A joystick provides control of modulation and pitch bending. It also has a performance section for quick edits on the fly using (3) real-time sliders to control timbre, EG1 and EG2. A nice alternative to the common DX-7."

Yamaha SY-1 Solo Synthesizer SN 1672 w/ Original Stand & Bag

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

via this auction

"Near mint example of Yamaha’s first compact analogue synth. Rarely seen in condition like this, and almost never complete with stand and other accessories.

Serviced and ready to ship.

You’ll find info about these in all the usual places online. Slightly less features than a CS-80 :) but what you need to know from us is that, while they are limited, we think these sound pretty wonderful. The aftertouch controls and other ways of sculpting the presets (including the GX-1 filter) make them an expressive instrument.

As for finding an example like in this kind of condition (many were gigged and show a lot of signs of use) – there can’t be many like this. Add in the massively over-engineered stand, music stand and a carry case for the accessories and it’s the complete package.

Fun Fact: as well as being linked to Royksopp, one of these features in the film Shaun of the Dead as a key part of the track “Blue Wrath” by Sheffield electronic legends I Monster (shout out to the Sheffield Massive!). Youtube video above…

CONDITION: One scuff to a corner is the only real sign of age. See the photos for more information.

Switchable voltage for use anywhere in the world - it will be set up ready for you to use before we ship."

RE the Unique DBK: "This is an incredibly rare Crumar Bit One rebranded Synthesizer from Italy.

Basically it's a two digital oscillator synth with really warm analog filters and circuitry.

It is in excellent working order, has a new battery and the factory patches have been restored. This is ready for studio use! Only issue is it's missing a slider cap which you could replace with just about anything that fits a slider."

SyllixMusic Patch From Scratch

Playlist:

1. Patch from Scratch: Modular Ambient on the Moog Subharmonicon and Mother 32

Welcome to Episode one of Patch from Scratch featuring the Moog Subharmonicon and Moog Mother 32! In this video I create an ambient patch (who would have thought?) with helpful on-screen text along the way. In the future I may explore live narration. We'll see.

2. Patch from Scratch 2: Modular Ambient - Moog Subharmonicon and Mother 32

Welcome to Episode Two of Patch from Scratch featuring the Moog Subharmonicon and Moog Mother 32! In this video I create yet another ambient patch with helpful on-screen text along the way.

This patch is similar to my first Patch from Scratch where I make use of the Assign (step random) output on the Mother 32. I'm really having fun making patches with it so I thought I would make another similar one. I still consider myself a beginner when it comes to patching, so hopefully I continue to improve as I continue to make these videos! Either way, I hope you enjoy it!

3. Patch from Scratch 3: Modular Ambient Wind Chimes - Moog Subharmonicon, Mother 32

Welcome to episode 3 of Patch from Scratch! Today we begin our modular journey entirely from scratch starting with the Subharmonicon and then moving on to the Moog Mother 32. I end up making what I called Analog Wind Chimes - a sparse, random dance of plucked melody between the two synths. Adding some delay from Logic Pro and Valhalla Supermassive helps put the icing on top.
