And the living weep | Roland System 8 Jupiter 8 plug-out demo

video upload by MIDERA

"Two weekends ago, my daughter was stung not once but twice by a wasp. I watched it happen. Right in front of my eyes. She was standing in her kiddie pool and while bees had been flying around looking for water, the yellow jackets weren't really nearby. But then one flew down from the tree and went right into her shirt. I ran to her, but it wasn't fast enough. She screamed out in pain - and kept doing so. I tried hitting the spot where it could have been. I never saw it... but I saw the marks it left. It got her at least twice.

She cried in agony for an hour. We tried to console her - but it was difficult. I took a nap with her, hoping that would make her feel better.

The physical pain was gone... but the emotional one hadn't started yet. The whole next week she refused to go outside. "Are there bugs outside?" Yes - there are, and we can't guarantee you'd never be stung again. Bad things happen, to all of us, at one time or another, but we can't just sit in the house forever. Logic wouldn't still her (why would it?). If we even mentioned the outdoors she'd panic.

I had to explain that the one wasp was a rogue, that bees are mostly friendly, and that flies only care about poop. Today - we did manage to get her outside by bringing out a thing to make bubbles. She was brave. It's always nice when you see your child be brave."

Now THAT's a lot of 80s synth brochures!

video upload by Espen Kraft

"I read many of these these to bits in the actual 80s.
I'm constantly on the lookout for replacements and recently I got a big stack from a guy in Sweden. I paid a pretty penny, but totally worth it just for the nostalgia alone.

In this video I go through many of them. So if you're in the mood for some Espen Kraft narration, 35 minutes worth, then grab a cold drink and just relax. The time machine is ready to roll....."

Moog MemoryMoog Plus Synth With Chase Bliss CXM 1978

video upload by Osceeulator

"A nice brassy string/pad patch from the Moog Memorymoog running through the presets of the Chase Bliss CXM 1978 Reverb. Also this Memorymoog has the stereo mod, so everything you hear is in stereo. Let me know what you think in the comments or what you want to see next. Enjoy!"

Korg Polysix synth, Chase Bliss CXM 1978, Glou Glou Deja Vu, Red Panda Particle delay, Meris Enzo

video upload by Osceeulator

"PLEASE LISTEN IN STEREO

In this video I give my new pedalboard build a run through with the Korg Polysix synth. With the Korg Polysix being mono I decided to use the headphone out jack with a TRS split cable to achieve “stereo” before it hit my stereo pedalboard. Notice the locations of each pedal in the stereo field listed below... (left pan, center pan, right pan).

Main pedals that are being used are

Neon Egg Planetarium V2 plus Behringer RD8 for sidechain (top left; center pan) -
At first im only using the compressor feature on it (probably should have left it off due to the increase in hiss/noise) then i add in the stereo Chorus around 2:44 until i hit the 5:35 mark when i activate the RD8 drum machine. When this happens im sending the cowbell signal from the RD8 (4 on the floor) to the sidechain input of the Neon Egg Planetarium V2. Then..... BOUNCE

Next pedal I introduce is the

Red Panda Particle Delay V1 (bottom right white pedal, left pan)-
Setting is a nice decaying delay

Next I bring in the

Glou Glou Deja Vu (bottom left blue pedal, right pan)-
A nice underwater experience with a phaser/vibrato as well as a filter being controlled by separate LFOs

Then I turn on the

Chase Bliss CXM 1978 (top right white pedal, center pan)-
This completely meshes and melds the right and left field together to create the sonic bliss that you hear

From there I remove the Glou Glou in the signal chain from the Bored Brain Patchulator 8000 and connect the

Meris Enzo (bottom right good pedal, right pan) -

I go through various settings and sounds with the meris but it some cases this truly adds that missing exciting element to a soundscape like no other pedal can, it’s honestly remarkable what you put in to it and what it computes out!"

via this auction

SN 0001 was listed here back in 2014. Note the "Minitmoog Synthesizer" on the left control panel appears to be hand painted on. Compare it to this one. Anyone know how many of these were produced? When I visited Synthorama back in 2008, the curator Martin Hollinger mentioned it was one of the rarests of the Moogs if not the rarest.

According to the listing:

"minitmoog synthesizer Number 0001 Made, and it Works. Not great, but each key does make a sound ..

I bought this 15 years ago..have stored it safely for years.

NOTE: this one was the prototype

I bought from the grandson of one of the engineers who worked at Moog in Buffalo, NY

I plugged it in and it works..all the keys create sound..didn’t mess with dials and such..but wanted to make sure will arrive not doa"

SoundSaw - The Art Of Sound Destruction (presets demo)

video upload by Igor Vasiliev

New iOS app from Igor Vasiliev who brought us SynthScaper, SynthScaper LE, FiedScaper, Classic FX, BeatCutter, and SoundScaper.

"SoundSaw is a complex sound processing app with easy-to-use controls designed to distort the sound of musical instruments or voice, and give the sound the aesthetics and atmosphere of noise, lo-fi, chiptune and experimental music scene."

Additional details via https://apps.apple.com/us/app/soundsaw/id1570948841

"SoundSaw is a complex sound processing app with easy-to-use controls designed to distort the sound of musical instruments or voice, and give the sound the aesthetics and atmosphere of noise, lo-fi, chiptune and experimental music scene.

Depending on the settings, it can add light distortion and saturation to the sound for a more natural and lively sound, or drastically change the sound and make it as loud and harsh as possible, full of all kinds of harmonics, crackles and rattles. The settings of this app provide great opportunities for experiments with sound destruction.

All controls are located on a single screen, grouped by function into six sections with a plain way of signal path from the first section "Input" to the last section "Output". The chain of individual effects in this app is designed in such a way as to get the most interesting result for any parameter values in the widest possible range.

App features:

- Simulates different types of signal processing electronic circuits and their typical harmonic saturation and noise (static and dynamic).
- The Maximizer keeps the maximum signal level for more noticeable distortions and feedback effects, and has a mode for hold the maximum volume when the input signal decays.
- The Overload effect works like an electronic circuit when the signal is much higher than the maximum allowable level and oversaturated the signal various kinds of harmonics.
- The Decimator and Bitcrusher effects produce very noticeable digital artifacts typical of cheap devices with simple DACs / ADCs, and add various kinds of crackles and rattles.
- The Feedback effect is similar to acoustic feedback, but more controllable, with the resonant frequency varying in accordance with the harmonics of the input signal.
- The 4-pole filter controlled by the envelope generator can be used after distortion effects. Filter types: Low pass, High pass, Band pass and Notch.
- The envelope generator is controlled by the input signal and can generate a single cycle of envelope, repeat cycles or work continuously.
- At the output there is a filter that can cut the high or low range of the original signal and mix it with the processed signal."

Stacking polyphony - A Supercritical Demon Core Oscillator thing

video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"Here’s a different approach. The expander is set to the alternative CV mode (hold FN and click MODE) and inputs 3 and 4 are used to control the octave stack size and the interval. Interval is set to a fifth with a static CV and the stack size is randomized. Transpose the whole thing with the main 1V/oct input and it gets jazzy. The patch has some PWM action on the DCO, a wide 2 pole LP / 2 pole HP (Yellow Mean 1 Pole setting) on the Neutron Flux, some reverb and octave shimmer from the Beads. This is how a weird orchestra would sound tuning up."

Ai017 Eurorack Low Pass Gate First Look

video upload by AI Synthesis

"A demo video for the AI Synthesis AI017 Eurorack Low Pass Gate.
Available at aisynthesis.com
The AI017 Low Pass Gate Eurorack Module can be used as a Voltage Controlled Filter, Voltage controlled Amplifier, or both. The AI017 is an updated variation of the classic Buchla 200 Series Low Pass Gate, updated with a tunable resonance circuit, and a Depth control. Vactrols are used for control voltage, allowing for classic "ringing" and "bongo" effects.

It can be purchased as a module, or DIY Kit and PCB/Panel Set.

The Depth control compensates the vactrols inability to drop lower than 100 ohms, which can allow audio bleed on traditional Low Pass Gates. The effect can be switched on or off, as depth will attenuate the classic ringing and bongo effect. This gives the user an easy way to go from a "vintage" Low Pass Gate to a "modern" Low Pass Gate with a flick of the switch. A rear trimmer allows for the tuning of the resonance."

Waldorf Microwave XTk - 30 Voice Wavetable Synthesizer w/ New OLED Display & Grey Side Panels

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

"It includes the following maintenance modifications: - Newer Fatar keybed (The original was getting old) - Newer Knobs - Vaccuum Display - Newer internal power supply (The original was no longer available) - All potentiometers/encoders/switches have been replaced with the nice Japanese ones

The synth is fully functional, and it plays very nice.

Note: The original volume pot was replaced as well, there is an issue where the volume value on the display sometimes jumps around 1 digit, possibly due to a slightly different value in the part, but it does not affect the sound at all, and Waldorf told me that there was nothing to worry about and that the synth is fine. I have been using it like that for years without issue, so I did not feel it needed to be addressed. The pots are new and tight, and they do what they are supposed to do."
