The Medium (inspired) | Moog Grandmother

video by Chris Hunt

"I played "The Medium" on Xbox recently and this song summarizes the experience for me... a bit spooky, a bit lonely, and a bit meandering. The fixed camera angles of the game transport me back to the time of pre-rendered RPGs and strategy guides."

NUX Duotime dual delay with the DB-01 synth (no talking)

video by Richard DeHove

"Some initial noodling with my newly purchased NUX Duotime. Nice solid metal case with stereo in and out. The feedback knobs are limited so they can't get into speaker-busting oscillation - so you get all the anxiety of runaway repeats with none of the damage.

Here I just faff about on the DB-01 while going through each mode. Note at the end the Verb setting has a shimmer you can dial in. No other effects, EQ or limiting used.

$39,500.00 Sennheiser VSM201 Vocoder

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

via this auction

"Here is it, one of the rarest and most legendary vocoders and synthesizer effects on the planet. The Sennheiser VSM 201. These supposedly cost upwards of $20,000 when built new and apparently only a few dozen were ever made. It's hard to say how many are still left in existence. In the past 10 years of searching we have only seen a handful of these for sale. We have previously owned a few of them, including one that was owned originally by Herbie Hancock and one we sold directly personally to Daft Punk before their Random Access Memories release. Other legendary users include Kraftwerk. This one is in great shape and fully functional. Fantastic for collector/curator or showpiece to have in your studio. A joy to play with, no other vocoder is quite like it. A multitude of knobs and tone shaping possibilities. The last one we saw for sale sold for $28k over 2 years ago. Since then vintage gear has only continued to climb in value. A great investment. Don't miss out!"

Priced at US $39,500.00

Patch and Tell: Buchla Clones 292B vs 292C Lowpass Gate Sound and Response Comparison

video by The Galaxy Electric

"Thanks for tuning in! Come on a musical voyage with us where we'll send you a new song every day, a cosmic story, and a chance to earn space treasure: https://thegalaxyelectric.lpages.co/5...

In this modular synthesizer tutorial, I couldn't help but do a comparison between the Buchla clone 200 series Quad Lowpass Gates. In this video your host Augustus Green of The Galaxy Electric does a sound and response comparison between these two flavors of 292 modules. The Quad Function Generators 280 and 281 are used to appropriately show off what these different animals can do. Let your ears be the judge as you decide which vibe you prefer.

A Window In Felton

video by nbor

"There's a lovely spot in a funny little cabin in Felton CA that lends itself to ambient music. Very slow, possibly even boring, but it certainly fit the vibe I had, not far from ancient redwoods.

I have been trying out super portable setups, and this is about as portable as it gets: battery power for 1010 Blackbox and Sensel Morph, filmed with phone. Sounds are from a variety of sources - a couple stock sounds from 1010, some recordings I did with my son, some sounds from the NASA archive, etc.

Roland JU-06A Juno-60 Strings Fun! Boutique Synthesizer Rik Marston

video by Rik Marston Official

"Roland JUNO-60 Strings - so lush & awesome! This JU-06A has IT!
I LOVE this synthesizer! If you are on the fence about buying one,
just make the purchase! The JU-06A is a BLAST to own & it will
give you the JUNO-60 & JUNO-106 in your mix the way you want it too.
Easy to operate with instant satisfaction! No, I don't work for Roland.
(I wish I did!) I think the bang for buck value for this unit is excellent!
In this demo you hear the JUNO-60 engine in action, much more to come!

Macbeth M5 SN 0003

via this auction

"Ken Macbeth hand-built around 100 of these before production stopped. Beautifully laid out with acres of room to get in and really play the instrument. Had plenty of ARP influence in the looks but it is no 2600 (or anything else) clone. Described as “big and brash” by Ken himself, more than one review says it can take you into classic big bottom Moog territory if that’s where you want to go.

All sockets are normalised – so no need to start plugging in cables if you just want to dive in and make some noise."

The pair of excellent filters are worth a mention though: there’s a 24 dB/oct lowpass ladder filter and a 12 dB/oct with Low Pass, Band Pass, High Pass and Notch options.

This is a modern but militantly analogue affair; you won’t find such luxuries as patch memory, MIDI or (heaven forfend!) USB here. But of course there is CV control and the front panel is raised up a few inches ready for you to put a keyboard in front of it."

Kawai K5000S Additive Synthesizer

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

via this auction

The listing states the K5000S combines VA and Additive synthesis. It actually doesn't have a VA engine, but rather a sample based PCM engine to go with the Additive engine.

"Great for pads and textures, though can be used for any type of sounds including lush leads, unique sound effects and crystal electric pianos. It is also a great keyboard controller, one of the most convenient and responsive synthesizer keyboards ever made.

Hologram Electronics Microcosm: The Magic Sauce (Multi-Instrument Demo)

video by Sound Isles

"The Microcosm combines granular sampling, delay, and looping techniques to create gorgeous ambient accompaniment, transformation and immersion with its stereo reverb. Sounds are diffused into icy ambient textures, glitched sequences, pitched pads, and cinematic drones. Microloops can be locked into tight tap-tempo rhythms and synced to devices over MIDI. Save your effects settings, and recall your loops with user presets.

The secret is out. The Microcosm is an inspiring device that adds a magic sauce to whatever sounds you're cooking with. There is a lot of sonic exploration to be had and sound design potential with its well designed combination of features. The Microcosm is a multi-tool for musicians and explorers of all sounds.

Let's go on a journey.

VAI 9. Siel Cruise / Roland TR77 / Vermona DEG500

video by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"A little space ballad with the Siel Cruise piano section run through the Vermona DEG500, that fast vibrato modulation is the reason we're keeping this machine.
The Roland TR77 drum machine is going through the DEG500 as well, with some Mu-tron Phasor II, while the bass line gets the Roland Space Echo treatment."

Roland FANTOM 4x4x4 Challenge using 4 NEW MODEL EXPANSIONS!!!

video by gattobus

"I accepted the 4x4x4 challenge that consists in building a song in just 4 minutes, using 4 Chords, playing 4 new Model Expansions for Roland FANTOM:

SH-101, Jupiter-8, JX-8P and JUNO-106.

I decided to raise the bar a little by doing this starting from scratch, using 4 INITIALIZED PRESETS!
Will I be able to do it?
Watch the video and see for yourself!!!
Hardcore synth nerds only!!!
(Headphones recommended)

#444xchallenge​"

Kebu takes on the Fantom 4x4x4 Challenge

video by Kebu

"The idea of the challenge is to create a song with the Roland Fantom synth in 4 minutes, playing 4 chords only, and using the 4 new Model Expansions (vintage synth emulations of the Roland JX-8P, Juno-106, SH-101 and Jupiter-8).

Somehow I misunderstood the challenge and thought you ALSO had to compose the tune in 4 minutes ("create" = "compose"?). This made the challenge quite difficult! Not to come up with ideas, but to actually have it made in 4 minutes! I didn't succeed until my 14th attempt! Also, I decided to shoot everything in a single take and forced myself to come up with new musical ideas for each take, as I didn't allow myself to start with any ready-made ideas. In the end I decided to choose which synth sounds to use in advance, because otherwise it would have been impossible for me, because I couldn't get past the sound selection in 4 minutes. I'm so picky with my synth sounds. :)

Next, I challenge my friend Ludvig Olin with the #444xChallenge​! And, of course, anyone with a Fantom can give it a go! Remember to use the tag #444xChallenge​ when you post your video.
