Controlled by a Waldorf Zarenbourg no less.

"The sound demo for the Emu Orbit 9090 V2 rompler sound synth.

Released in 1996, the Emu Orbit 9090 V2 was a sample based rompler synth. Heavily aim at the Dance music producer. It's editing of sounds is slow and with software plug-ins like Serum and Pigment it's now hard for this sound module to take centre stage. This is reflected in it's cheap second hand price."

Strymon Conduit – MIDI Hub

Intro video by strymon

"Smart MIDI Control for Your Pedals.

Conduit is a premium, easily configurable, ultra-reliable MIDI interface that will work with just about any quarter-inch MIDI equipped effects pedals you have, and it also offers the best USB computer connection available for any TRS MIDI pedal.

Each of Conduit’s four bi-directional TRS jacks are independently configurable to work with most quarter-inch MIDI equipped pedals. Built-in grounding isolation ensures the quiet operation you expect from Strymon. And for pedals that only need to receive MIDI, Dual Mode allows you to connect two pedals to a single TRS output using an optional TRS splitter cable.

USB MIDI Interface For Your Pedals.

Conduit is designed to be a rock solid USB MIDI interface between your computer and your pedals. Send MIDI control change messages from a sequencer for perfectly synced pedal parameter changes. Automate pedal preset changes, load and save presets, or send SYSEX messages—all from your computer.

Easy to Set Up. Easy to Use. Plug In and Go.

Out of the box, Conduit’s 1/4″ TRS MIDI jacks are configured to work with Strymon pedals—just plug and go! Other configurations are easily selectable with no DIP switches, no custom cables, and no screwdriver required. Need more TRS MIDI outputs? Just link another Conduit!"

Introducing Points&Lines Experimental Music Software

video by Giorgio Sancristoforo

New from Giorgio Sancristoforo, available at www.giorgiosancristoforo.net in the software section.

"Points & Lines is a new software dedicated to experimental music, drones and sound design, based on classic subtractive synthesis.

However the number of the available tools (20 oscillators, 20 VCAs, 20BPFs and 20 Pan channels) makes it a unique software capable of complex sounds and atmospheres seldom easily available in classic synthesizers."

"CLASSIC BUT DIFFERENT
Points & Lines is a new software dedicated to experimental music, drones and sound design, based on classic subtractive synthesis.

However the number of the available tools (20 oscillators, 20 VCAs, 20BPFs and 20 Pan channels) makes it a unique software capable of complex sounds and atmospheres seldom easily available in classic synthesizers.

FROM TINY SOUNDS TO HOURS LONG PIECES
Changing the score length can transform your composition radically in an instant. The complex trajectories of frequencies, pan, amplitude and pan can evolve in just 1 second, or in hours.

UP TO 80 OSCILLATORS
You can record up to 3 stereo tracks of 20 oscillators each, and play them along the live score to create massive 80 VCO, 80 VCA, 80 BPF and 80 PAN music.


Later you can export the separate tracks and edit them in your favourite DAW."

Häxa - TI-82 Houstontracker Jazz

"The jazz drummer Lars Skoglund (La La Lars) released his latest single "Häxa" as sheet music and then let other musicians make their own versions. Here's mine - done on a Texas Instruments TI-82 calculator from 1993.

The calculator doesn't have a sound chip, instead it is using delicate bit flipping on the communications port to make audio, using the tracker "HoustonTracker 2". I've made a previous video about how that works, which includes my cover of the C64 song 'Warhawk':" [posted here]

"Continuing with the Weird Week series, here's a little electronic composition using my Eurorack modular synthesizer, a tape loop (playing on my Sony TCM-200DV), and Alchemy soft synth (controlled by the MAudio Oxygen25). It might be an odd combination but it ended up sounding pretty cool."

'79 Roland VP-330 w/ Slider Mod

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

via this auction

"The Roland VP-330 is a paraphonic ten band vocoder and string machine made by Roland Corporation from 1979 to 1980.

The VP-330 shapes its envelope and filters by any sound source fed into it. So your voice or even a drum loop can be used which is then applied to another sound source, typically a synth pad. This creates a very unique and famous robot-like sound.

In addition to the 10-band vocoder, the VP-330 has a string synth section, choir and a human-voice sound and its 3 sound sections offer a few different presets that can be slightly edited with de-tuning and vibrato.

This unit has had a BOSS GE-10 10-band graphic equaliser professionally installed in the top panel at some point in it's past. Includes original Roland hard shell case."

Moog Taurus I 1 1970's Bass Pedals SN 3044

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

via this auction

"1970's Moog Taurus I Bass Pedals! Here it is folks, THE synth responsible for the thunderous tones in Rush. Geddy played these with his feet while he played guitar or keyboard. It has recently been serviced and sounds fantastic. Everything is fully functional and works as it should.

Here's the list of servicing:
-New power cable
-Recapped power supply
-Key contact cleaning
-Keybed alignment
-New trim pots
-New LED's
-Full calibration.

This is a very cool synth that sounds insanely big. 3 factory presets and 1 preset where you can shape your sound with Moog filters and envelopes. A very cool thing and unlike any other synth that I have had. There is some normal wear here and there, a few extra drill holes, 2 of the pedal covers are cracked but have been repaird, and its missing its little window flap but overall everything looks great.

If you have been looking for a vintage Moog Taurus I then look no further. This one is a good one to have and is studio or tour ready."

Syndt – Polyphonic Synthesizer for macOS/Windows & iPad

video by Klevgrand

"A versatile, morphable polyphonic synthesizer.

Syndt is a high quality polyphonic synthesizer with a lot of possibilities. The oscillator waveform can be morphed between pure sine to pure square, and supports altering of pulse width. Both the shape and pulse width can be modulated by two independent LFOs. With fine-tuned low pass and high pass filters combined with a separate filter attack setting, (optionally based on velocity) this synth can create some raw and interesting sounds. The additional LFO can be shaped exactly as the oscillator, and optionally controls filters, gain and pitch (using a modulation wheel or just automatically). This LFO can be synchronized to a AUv3 host. Globally there’s a nice stereo chorus, ping pong stereo delay (that also can sync to a AUv3 hosts BPM) and EQ.

Features
70+ professionally made presets
XY pad based oscillator and LFO (PWM on the X axis and morphs between sine and square on the Y axis)
Independent mini-LFO (sine only) for each axis of the oscillator XY-pad.
LP / HP filter with resonance
LP Filter can be velocity sensitive
LP Filter has an optional attack time
LFO can affect LP filter, HP filter, gain level and pitch
LFO has an optional attack time

MakeNoise Telharmonic Retirement Tribute

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"MakeNoise has decided to retire the Telharmonic, System Cartesian - and Brains. The Telharmonic has been one of my most underappreciated modules for a long time, but that's completely changed since Walker's digital foam video. Also, the MakeNoise FB April Fools post from 2019 was also great fun to revisit - where a new 'firmware' was introduced for the Tel and was installed with a special card. I am happy to have it in my case, hopefully this tribute inspires you to complete your collection too!"

UNO Synth Pro - Sonic LAB Review

video by sonicstate

"IK Multimedia’s second hardware synth builds on the initial synth engine introduced in the Uno Synth, which was surprisingly beefy sonically if not physically.

Uno Synth Pro expands this original concept and adds :a more substantial build quality in both the desktop and keyboard versions, three morphing oscillators (playable as 3 note paraphonic), two filters - the original OTA filter and a new SSI resonant filter with design input from the legendary Dave Rossum, we also get an analogue post filter drive and three DSP send effects.

16 slot mod matrix, 64 step sequencer with song mode, CV and GATE io top of the features."
