MarsJam Korg Kronos Roland JU-06A Yamaha TX7 DX7 Juno-60 Synthesizer Rik Marston


video by Rik Marston Official

"'MarsJam' Korg Kronos Roland JU-06A Yamaha TX7
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**No Talking!** ***Watch in HD!!*** **Turn it UP!!!***

Roland JU-06A (Juno-60) + Yamaha TX7 (DX7) "MarsJam".
I am using the Korg Kronos as a sequencer & drum machine in this video.
Analog Drum Kit is coming from the Korg Kronos
Both JU-06A + TX7 are on MIDI channel 1. Simple synth layer & sequence!
Both synths give that vintage flavor without breaking the bank!
The TX7 is fantastic for having a DX7 to work with & the JU-06A
is great for having the JUNO-60 + JUNO-106 in one for the money!
I have a new meteorite I found near Rockport, Colorado on the TX7.
Hard to see thru all the space FX but you will get to see it again soon! :)"

Synth Under Water with Moog One


video by Chris Hunt

"Please grab your swim suit and enjoy this magical underwater journey with the Moog One. This patch has three layers played simultaneously: bubbles, turtles, fish

00:00​ Hello, and welcome
00:23​ The water is fine
01:10​ Almost out of breath
02:00​ Meanwhile, on the beach
02:50​ The ocean calls again
03:15​ It calls us all
04:01​ And it's alive
04:54​ With turtles
05:35​ And fish
06:13​ Thanks, have a towel

Mystery Model 101 Vocoder



This one is in via supporting member, David Bivins who currently put it up for sale on eBay here.

He picked it up used at a Japanese auction site, and unfortunately does not know the history behind it. I've never seen it before. If you know anything aobut it, primarily who made it and when, feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of this post.

via David in the listing: "Very cool looking vintage 10-band vocoder. Does not work and is missing parts - for one thing, there is no power supply! I purchased it this way and have decided I do not have the time to devote to repairing it."

You'll find some pics of the inside below.

Update: it was listed on a Japanese auction site as an E.E.W. Model 101 Vocoder. E.E.W. stands for Eizuka Engineering Workshop 永塚策英 Japan Yokohama according to @analogjimmy.

via Wikipedia Japan: "From this work, Ito has released a wind synthesizer called 'TAKECON-1', which is a special order made by EIZUKA ENGINEERING WORKSHOP, as 'OMENS OF LOVE' (using TAKECON-1 + TAKECON-1 sound source) and 'PRIME' (TAKECON-1 +). Used in TAKECON-1 sound source)."

If you search online for Eizuka Engineering Workshop you will find a few additional references.

Directly below is a video of the TAKECON-1 mentioned above. It's a Lyricon wind synthesizer according to @analogjimmy.

Update2: via @Siempre_La_Luna

"I've gone down this rabbit hole before. EEW made some wind synths and utility rack gear. Seems like it was a small company. The name I've seen associated with EEW is Sakuhide Nagatsuka but I have no idea the relationship. Some EEW gear was apparently sold via retailer Ishibashi."

According to that thread, it's possible Sakuhide Nagatsuka passed away based on some online discussions.
video by ガレージ99札幌店 - note this video is for the TAKECON-1 by Ito, and not the Model 101 Vocoder.

New Buchla Programmable Octal Signal Source Model 360 Coming from Roman Filippov



"Soon. Can’t tell much more details yet"

Roman Filippov as you know is the man behind Sputnik Modular, Black Corporation, and various Buchla DIY projects. Black Corporation is focused on full blown desktop synths including Deckard’s Dream, Kijimi, Xerses, as well as some erurorack adaptations of various components of these synths. Sputnik focuses on Roman's line of primarly west coast inspired eurorack modules. Roman has also offered one-off creations of classic designs for the DIY market.

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

Update: "It has stereo, quad outputs as well. Will be 8 voices, 3osc per voice with built in enveloppe and VCAs - fully 24osc synth (shouldn't the VCA be LPG on the OG?). Inputs wil be via digital buss from 221r. You'll have to have both modules to make 360 funtcionnal. Also coming this summer. 300 computer open source module is also in the works."



An update from Roman sent my way via Soviet Space Child.

"The 360r will have 15 programmable outputs with full control from the 221r (standard midi messages), it uses a 16-core mcu/dsp by XMOS and 24b/216KHz 16ch codec by Cirrus Logic.

The 221r will have midi and usb i/o and 4x digital ports for communication with the other modules. It also uses a combination of accelerometer and gyroscope for the bend function. also i hope to decode 200e I2C buss, it already has it connected."

Granular Ukuele Live-Looping // Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 + Eurorack Benjolin #TTNM​


video by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Live-looping several Ukulele tracks through Gotharman's Little deFormer 3's granular synth and sampler effects, clocked by a rungled Eurorack modular synth Benjolin. I'm also sending the audio through Gotharman's TubaZ vacuum tube filter Eurorack module, which is also modulated by the Little deFormer 3 via its CV outputs. It's a fun little experimental music jam :D"

Wingie + Dual Gibber


video by Meng Qi

The Dual Gibber is new to the site.

"Gibber is a synth designed by Rob Hordijk. It's based on SP0256A-AL2 speech chips. And it gibbers. Wingie is a portable stereo resonator I designed.

In this video I've shown 3 modes out of 4 on Wingie.

IRIJULE Theoryboard Thy333

TheoryBoard Thy333 | 5 Minute Explanation video by TheoryBoard

"The TheoryBoard is a music theory MIDI controller. It was invented for the purpose of allowing easier access to the complex world of music theory. When the user loads a scale they have access to every chord and every note within that scale (& hot keys for key changes + 7 modes). Chords (harmony) and notes (melody) are linked together via color allowing a visual reference while playing. The control panel allows chords to be manipulated in every possible way (octave/stack/spread/voicings/inversions, over 1.9 billion chord combinations). It's a new type of musical instrument as well as a production/composition tool."

This is an AMAZINGLY capable modular rig that goes well above and beyond both the AE Modular Starter Rack 1 and/or 2. It has been assembled, tested, hardly used, for all intents and purposes.. brand new.

"This is a 220V synth so you must use a step up transformer to power it in the USA or Japan. This synth has been recently calibrated by a professional synth technician. All features are working perfectly and the synth is perfectly in tune. There are no key triggering issues, no issues with scratchy potentiometers, no issues with dirty jacks, bad switches or buttons!!"

"One small thing to note with this Memorymoog is that of the 100 preprogrammed patches, a few of them have an issue where one of the six voices drops out. Otherwise 95% of the patches play perfectly with all six voices."

Curious what happens if you overwrite the problem patches with ones that do not exhibit the problem.

E-mu E-drum demo


video by Harry Axten

"Couldn't resist pulling the trigger when I found one of these for sale online. It plays back 8-bit samples stored on cartridges, with velocity routed to amplitude and optionally pitch. Mine only came with the 'ROTOTOM1' cartridge, but I was able to scan in and copy the cartridge PCB to produce my own; which in this case have the TR-909 cymbals on them.

It's basically a rebadged Clavia unit, with a different paint job. I think the cartridges are also compatible with the original Clavia DDrum rack system (but not the later 'Sound Pac' ones)."
