WERSI CX2 WERSIMATIC Analog Groove Box 1985 | HD DEMO

video by AnalogAudio1

"(c) 2021 by AnalogAudio1

In the beginning of the video I added a little reverb from a Lexicon MPX500 on the drums, all other sounds came directly dry from the CX2.

Wersi WERSI MATIC CX2 is a programmable rhythm machine / accompaniment from Germany.

The CX2 has preset rhythms and is also programmable. The drums are digital 8-bit samples of real drums. The CX2 It's micro processor controlled, but it has analog sound generation for the accompaniment. A kind of "solina string ensemble" is also on board. Tape interface for storing own patterns onto tape - like on analog synths as Korg Polysix or Roland Juno-60. The Wersi CX2 is the successor of the CX1, which is essentially the same, except the drums. The earlier CX1 has fully analog drum sounds, whereas the CX2 uses digital samples.

The CX2 was also included in Wersi organs of the day. It's similar to the 'Böhm Digital Drums'."

Marantz FM : Volca & cassette

video by Miguel d'Oliveira

"1AM improv on a Korg Volca
Most sounds recorded on a Marantz PMD221 then, from cassette tape to ableton (in one go, as this recorder has 3 heads)
Some sounds recorded straight to ableton from the Volca, to play with stereo image (they were also recorded in mono)"

Sequential Prophet X Demo (No Talking)

video by Pure Ambient Drone

"The Sequential Prophet X is a potent fusion of samples-plus-synthesis and is Sequential’s most ground-breaking evolution of the Prophet yet. At its heart, it’s a bi-timbral, 8-voice-stereo, 16-voice mono/stereo, 32-voice paraphonic synth with a newly developed sound engine that powers two simultaneous 16-bit, 48kHz sample-based instruments plus two high-resolution digital oscillators — all processed through analog filters. . With 150 GB of internal samples from acclaimed sound developers 8Dio, and all of the powerful synthesis tools you’ve come to expect from Sequential, the Prophet X has a musical voice uniquely its own."

Playing Centipede with a Moog Mother-32 Synthesizer

video by Josh Ellingson

"I recently picked up a used Mother-32 and I'm using it for video experiments. Here, I have it running into a MIDI converter so that I can use it to play Centipede (and make my own laser sounds, of course.)
For the curious, it's the VC Mix and Gate control voltage out to a Denton CV-to-MIDI converter. Bome MIDI Translator Pro is making it work with keyboard/mouse controls and VDMX is helping Centipede look nice on my black and white GE set."

Phasewaver VST VST3 Audio Unit. Polyphonic Phase Distortion Synth: Leads, Pads, Keys, Basses, Atmos

video by Syntheway Virtual Musical Instruments

"http://phasewaver.syntheway.net​ - Phasewaver is a phase distortion synthesizer with a vast array of composite waveshaping and amplitude modulation to generate a complex frequency spectrum. Essentially, the harmonic content of a carrier waveform dynamically change by influence of another modulator waveform, which can be used to create synth pads, keys, leads, basses, atmospheric textures, ambient soundscapes and sound effects.

Features a collection of 40 presets suitable for many genres and styles of music and flexibility to custom design over a wide sonic spectrum. Available as plugin in VST and VST3 64 bit versions for Windows, as well as in Audio Unit for macOS.

Features

• Two phase distortion oscillators. Offers 16 different single-cycle waveforms per channel.
- Two waveshapers. These combo boxes presents a double selectable wave shapes for each oscillator with 5 basic waveforms: sawtooth, square, pulse, double sine and sawtooth-pulse plus 3 resonant waveforms: resonance 1 (sawtooth), resonance 2 (triangle) and resonance 3 (trapezoid).
• 'Waveform Envelope Generator' and 'Amplitude Envelope Modulator' for both phase distortion oscillators to control the audio signal passing through them, with independent control over each stage: Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release parameters.
• Detune. The following parameters controls function as coarse and fine tuners by providing overall transposition and tuning of the oscillators (common for all oscillators and waveforms):
- Octave. Selector to specify octaves above or below the current octave.
- Note. Selector to switch between 0 to 11 semitones.
- Fine. A fine-tuning.
• Filter Section. A smooth state variable filter with the following parameters:
- Filter Cutoff. Adjusts the frequency range to contour the sound, add or regulate brightness.
- Filter Resonance. Slightly emphasize or suppress portions of the signal above or below the defined color/tone frequency.
- Filter Mode. Switches the filter between low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, or band-rejection filter types.
- Filter Strength. Makes subtle changes to the filter character.
• Low-Frequency Oscillator. These parameters apply LFO modulation. By using the LFO to modulate various aspects of the audio signal, you can apply effects such as vibrato or tremolo. Knobs includes: LFO Rate and LFO Depth.
• Reverb effect.
• Delay effect. Stores the input signal and plays it back after a certain amount of time, creating from a subtle echo to a pronounced blending of previous sounds with new sounds.
• Flanger effect. Creates a mixing of two identical signals together, one signal delayed by a small and gradually changing period, causing a ‘phase shift´ between the two signals.
• Drive PM. Provides a phase distortion extra modulation depth. Turn it clockwise to increase it or counterclockwise to decrease it.
• Monophonic Mode.
• Mono Glide.
• MIDI automation.
• Preset Manager: 'Browser' to load and save presets and banks.
• 40 presets:

Korg Poly 61 | 1980s Synthesizer

video by Pure Ambient Drone

"The KORG Poly-61 is an analogue programmable polyphonic synthesizer released by Korg in 1982, as a successor to the Polysix. It was notable for being Korg's first largely 'knobless' synthesizer - featuring a push-button interface for programming, dispensing with the Polysix's knobs and switches. Wikipedia

The 1980s synthesizers were a thing unto themselves and Korg really did a great job on the Poly 61 synth. Its got a lot of character going for it and nice fast envelopes too! This is the Korg Poly 61M that I am sound demoing here."

"MTI 16R Auto Orchestra drum machine w foot pedal and foot keyboard. This item has been thoroughly cleaned and tested. Full set of rhythms, settings, expansion card, killer bass & filter and accompaniment voices work great, intermittent clicks with tom sounds, however. Improved with contact cleaning but still occasional. The LED cursor flashes with tempo, but number wavers and does not reflect bpm (I believe this applies to both model MTIs). Foot Keyboard works perfectly. Foot pedal in poor condition, will start/stop rhythms and diminish chords only. All outputs work correctly. This unit has been racked in an enclosed cabinet, free from dust, etc. Solid life left in this rare drum machine!"

Low Frequency Expander's Arpeggiator

video by Steve Hunt

"For the Prophet 5 and 10 and other synths that don't have an Arpeggiator, the LFE now has one. It runs off either its own internal clock or from a midi clock. It has the usual Up, Down, Up-down, random and played-order modes. It also has a Down-up mode, 4 octave repeats and the gate length can go up to 200% of the note length so that adjacent notes overlap.

The synth you hear is an OB-6.

Now taking orders for LFE Batch 7 for delivery in June/July 2021.

SM Pro V-MACHINE running BlueARP and retro-review

video by graywolf2004ru

9:32 on reminded me of Depeche Mode's See You. Different sequence of course, just similar vibe.

"This is still a cool piece of hardware, despite of its limited power. I wish they make a more powerful version some day.
When I first used V-Machine 10 years ago - I tried to run BlueARP inside it and it worked after a few tweaks to the code. I didn't post it back then, so now I decided to revive that experiment.
To do this in 2021, I had to bring back Windows XP compatibility for 32-bit version of BlueARP (it was quite a challenge) but finally it works!
I don't think it has lots of practical usage in 2021, but still V-MACHINE is a cool artifact of its time and running BlueARP + Synth1 inside it makes it even cooler.

Moog Subsequent 37 & Sequential Prophet Rev2/Pro3 - New EP Intro??

video by Lost Clouds

"I've been semi-working on a small EP for a couple of months (technically since June 2019 but then I forgot it existed until recently, so...) and this track will probably end up being the opener - it slowly builds up with hefty background pads from the Rev2/Pro3 and a lovely resonant lead from the Sub37, all recorded in one take.

The Rev2/Pro3 are running through Valhalla Shimmer and the Sub37 is going through the Ventris Dual Reverb, using the 'Offspring' algorithm.

EP will be out at some point in the near-ish future, I hope!!"

JayB - The Blue Stuff [90s Acid House Track on Quasimidi Sirius]

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

"For my 'One Synth, One Song' series I had a little hard time finding something proper for the Quasimidi Sirius. Three melodic tracks and four drum tracks plus a rather poor effects section ain't the best ingredients for full arrangements, and the sound design is very limited too. Just when I rediscovered Propellerhead's Rebirth RB-338 I thought hey, why not some 90s acid stuff? The Sirius sounds dirty after all. It's not much other than a few squeaky synth lines, a TR-909 set and some Hohner strings. But maybe some of you enjoy this anyway."

via this auction

"The ultimate groovesynth(with gig bag), with built in synthesizers, sequencer, vocoder & an on board drum machine. Perfect for live jamming with built in beat recognition and ability to turn down/mute voices on the fly. Ideal for house, techno, ambient, acid jazz, drum & bass or dubdstep. Has all the classic EDM sounds & drum machines built in."

via this auction

"The Virus Rack XL is a 1U rackmount version of the Virus C desktop synthesizer made by Access Music. The synth only sold for 2 years before being discontinued, quite hard to find as not many were sold.

The unit has 3 stereo outputs, 1 stereo input (for adding effects to incoming sounds) MIDI in/out/thru, and sounds fantastic. Though the unit does not include as many features as the newer Virus Ti, the think sound of the Ti series makes the older Virus A/B/C units a much more desirable instrument."

"Includes an aftermarket black/white LCD screen to increase contrast and readability (a great modification indeed!)."

PAIA FatMan Classic Analog DIY Rack Synth

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

via this auction

"PAIA FatMan Classic Vintage Synth: 19" Rackmount with Original Blue Face and 12V Power Supply.

The FatMan has all the features that give analog its big bottom and punch in a MIDI-controlled package. The classic Voltage Controlled normalization is brought up to date with a Velocity CV not available on pre-MIDI synths. Pitch wheel modulation is supported and Pitch and Velocity CV, and Gate outputs are provided on the front panel for driving PAiA or other linear-response synthesizer modules.

It is a small monophonic analogue synth with two oscillators, 18 rotary knobs, 3 switches and no keyboard. There is a low-pass resonant A(S)R filter, an ADSR VCA and portamento. There is MIDI on-board and as the FatMan uses control voltages to operate the MIDI really acts as a MIDI-to-CV converter. This means that it's CV outputs can be used to control other old analogue gear you may have around.

The FatMan's classic normalization of two VCOs, VCF and VCA is enhanced with MIDI pitch bend and a Velocity Control Voltage routed to both filter and final amplifier. With transpose and offset, pitch covers seven octaves starting from a room-shaking 65 Hz., four octave response under MIDI control.

And all those knobs. They invite experimentation and invention in ways that a single control with functions buried under layers of obscure menus never can. Just a few hours with the FatMan will teach you more about the nature of sound than you might ever learn otherwise. It's as at home in the physics lab as on-stage."
