Early Analog Band - Fender Chroma Musical Instruments 1982


video by Brigida Family

"Rare vintage footage! This product demonstration for Fender Chroma features a performance by Mike Brigida, John Shykun & Cleve Pozar.

16:50​ closes with John Williams 'Indiana Jones Theme' & 'Superman'"

And a note from the Rhodes Chroma list:

"The 'Expander's they show don't seem to have the same setup as a typical expander today. Specifically, the expander panel looks to be identical to that of the Chroma - and so has a extra black metal lip on the front. It is much more of a 'keyboard-chopped-off-Chroma' versus what ended up being the Expander.

Somewhat of a prophetic quote from one of the questions and answers in the video:

Q. How long before the Chroma is obsolete?

A. Chroma is an expressive, powerful musical instrument. Since it sounds good and has terrific expansion capability it stands the best chance among products available today of lasting the longest."

Tutorial de patch com modulações no Moog Sub 37


video by Marcus Padrini

"Postei uma synth jam baseada neste patch do Sub 37 ha alguns dias. Neste vídeo, a ideia é mostrar como criar esse som, passo a passo, explorando as possibilidades de modulação deste synth sensacional.

Você não precisa ter um Sub 37 para entender conceitos e ainda poderá criar esse mesmo patch em synths virtuais e outros.

Adding test equipment to a synthesizer setup


video by HAINBACH

"In which I do the thing I had forbidden myself both for technical and artistic reasons: using test equipment to control synths and let synths process test equipment. With the oftentimes wildly varying out levels of measurement instruments this is risky, but if you know what you are doing, it is a fun way to add just a touch of scientific-industrial sound to your setup. In this example, I am using among others the HP8006A to control rhythms on the Metasonix D1000 and the @Erica Synths​ SYNTRX, as well as processing vintage lock-in amplifiers through the SYNTRX.

Befaco VCMC/CV Thing Firmware 1.3


“Befaco VCMC - Tangerine Dream” by Friendly Noise video by Friendly Noise

"From Befaco labs we are happy to announce a new major update on VCMC and CV thing family: The new 1.3 version.

The main change here is a super flexible Chord generation feature. Allowing to quantize the notes and generate the relevant chords in many different scales.

Chord generation allow, not only selecting the scale, but also the type of chord, inversion and voicings as well as root note. All these functions controllable via CV or other Faders in the module!

We are proud to say that the mode is working like a charm: so generating polyphonic melodies in your MIDI gear from our eurorack is easier today than ever! Check this video for a nicve example.

Apart of this main feature, we also implemented Channel pressure messages, improved compatibility with iConnectivity devices and solved a few little quirks and bugs.

Firmware is available at Befaco github: https://github.com/Befaco/VCMC

And we have uploaded a video to help everyone upgrade and callibrate the module."

"This is a 1 to 1 replica of my beloved Moog Taurus 1 Pedal :-)
Thanks to Christian Fischer from Cybersound! Awesome job!"


video by Weide Records



via Cybersound

Clone of the legendary Taurus 1.

Without the annoying pedals, but with MIDI.

All controls are as in the original (except for the 3 presets).

Features like glide and decay switches are also available.

Foot Loudness is on the Mod. Wheel.

Completely discreetly built in analogue, no SMD parts were installed.

2 linear sawtooth oscillators provide a lot of pressure and are tuned immediately after switching on.

Frequency range 5 octaves (1 octave lower than the original and starts at 16 Hz).

Osc. B can be detuned by +/- 1 octave.

Classic 24dB ladder filter with resonance (up to self-oscillation).

The envelopes were adopted 1: 1 and contribute a lot to the typical Taurus sound.

Deep bass in the smallest of spaces.

MIDI thru jack.

Stable, powder-coated aluminum housing.

Made entirely by hand.

incl. power supply.

video by Anton Anru

"A short jam inspired by the Moogs connectivity that gives total: 2 sequencers, 2 filters, 7 oscillators, 3 envelopes, 64 patch point and others. I guess this video is only the beginning, as the two give so many opportunities and nice result is achieved so easily...
The Moogs are supported by pads from Korg Opsix and some stuff from Ableton Live.

CME WIDI Master Bluetooth Demo & Roland MC-101 First Demo


video by SynthAddict

Great website on the left. ;)

"WIDI Master uses MIDI DIN-5 in and out ports, powered by the out port

When plugged in to MIDI out it starts in Master Mode to pair with any nearby
MIDI controller without a computer (DAWless). If no master is found in few moments it goes into normal mode like other mfg's BT dongles (Yamaha etc.).

Following the WIDI demo is my first Roland MC-101 demo, right out of the box. What a great little unit. The WIDI allowed me to use my CME XKey Air 25 to add expression (velocity/aftertouch) the the MC-101 (the pads don’t send either).

With the MC-101 0n batteries as well as the XKey, it’s a great wireless MIDI, portable studio. You can add samples to the SD card from iPhones now (with a simple card adapter) so a computer is not needed, only for Roland Cloud patches :-)"

OB-6 controlled by POLYPHONIC LFE using MPE part 2: sequencer, spread and PWM


video by Steve Hunt

"This demonstrates the Yorick Tech Low Frequency Expander using MPE to control each of the synth's six voices independently. First using six 16-step sequencers to control each voice's filter cutoff separately. Second showing 6 LFOs controlling the filters but also showing the use of the MPE spread parameter to give each of the LFOs a slightly different frequency. Third, showing 6 LFOs this time modulating the pulse width of the synth's voices, again with and without the spread applied. Incredibly rich PWM from 6 LFOs, each with a different rate."

E.M.I Ritm-2, analog soviet pizzazz


video by Valmont

"Facts I translated from an obscure russian forum:
- Development started in 1983
- Were made by hand from 1985 to 1992 in the Soviet Union
- 6767 units were built, estimated about 200 to 500 still working tho.
- The factory employed 15 workers: not enough people for a quality build. PCBs were cut and drilled by piles together by hand, the keyboard in an unspeakable handiwork thing...
- SN number starts at 2248 and ends at 9015, so mine is number 91!
- Black models are from the 80's, yellow/white plate ones are usually from the 90s
- Moog-type Ladder Filter (Micromoog or Prodigy?), Moog-inspired envelopes as well

Was just serviced"

No extra processing was applied in the sound demonstrations - the sound was recorded from GM output into line level directly."



"The Golden Master from Endorphin.es is a multi-band processor that takes inspiration from studio mastering and radio loudness units from the 1990s. It gives control over the EQ, compression, and mid/side processing of incoming audio.

Thanks to the 16-bit/96kHz audio fidelity, you'll get incredible processing power. It features three bands—low, medium, and high—each handling a distinct portion of the audio spectrum. These controls feature a single knob that both boosts and cuts signals. Set the overall loudness limit of your sounds, and the brickwall limiter ensures all your sounds stay in check. This multi-band effect is the perfect end-of-chain module, ensuring that anything you throw at it sounds dynamic and full.
