How to Get Fat Bass out of your Sequential Prophet 6 Synthesizer

video upload by Ponchy

"This video shows how to create a fat bass sound from scratch utilizing the sub octave feature on the Prophet 6 amongst other features that are specific to the Prophet-6. Dave Smith Instruments and Sequential Circuits really stayed true to the original Prophet 5 design with a fully analog signal path but with effects at the end of the chain. Even though there are lots of patches on the Prophet 6, this video will show how to get the most out of your Prophet and start creating sounds from scratch right away."

"A sound designer's dream, this is a really interesting and pretty unique synth - one of just a couple of commercially available instruments which used additive synthesis as its primary sound generation source. It also has PCM samples which can be used in addition to the additive synthesis to create highly individual patches."

VAI 35 : Wersimatic II / Farfisa Syntorchestra

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"Another take with the Wersimatic II, the younger sister / brother of the Wersimatic 24 auto accompaniment machine. The sounds and controls are across the board identical as far as we can tell.

It was never made as a standalone unit but part of a large, double manual organ called Wersi Helios in the mid 70s.

This particular one has been transplanted from an organ into a smaller box with a twelve buttons acting as chord control instead of the bottom keys of the organ.

Special thanks to Organfairy for the rare schematics : dude you f-ing rock

The Wersimatic II has sections on board:
Bass
Drum machine
Various chord sounds

Melody played on the Farfisa Syntorchestra String machine and Mono synth."

a free Sequencer for driving multiple Analog-Synths made with Flowstone

video upload by Andreas Remshagen

"Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qhf3...

This is a Midi-Sequencer i made for driving my Analog-Synths with a small Asus-Netbook connected to a Polyend Poly Midi to CV/Gate Converter.

I work with different Versions of this Sequencer and its a good compromise for me driving analog-Synths with a digital component for live-performances.

The Sequencer is made for the Asus eee-PC's resolution but it should work with every Windows-PC.

Its has:
1 to 16 Steps
4 Step-Sequencers with 2 Octaves-Grid, Clock and Step-Divider
Separate Midi-Channel selectable for each sequencer.
On/Off switch for each sequencer exceps the clock-sequencer
2 clock/Gate-sequencer
1 gate on first step option for reset drum-machines etc

The Forgotten Synthesizers Of Marche Region

video upload by HAINBACH

Update: you can find additional posts featuring The Museo Del Synth Marchigiano here.

"The Marche Region in Italy was home to a thriving industry of music instrument production from the 1950s to the mid-90s. Tens of thousands of people made organs, accordions and small runs of synthesizers that were like nothing else in the world. Much production closed in the 90s, leaving only a few companies around, and many people lost their jobs. The history of Marche synths was not talked about, too bitter were the memories. The Museo Del Synth Marchigiano aims to change that - a motley crew of synth lovers work together to get the story about this special time in music instrument history out.

I was invited to play a show at Acusmatic Festival in Ancona and visit the collection before. I was overwhelmed by the amazing sounds these machines made, so I captured them on tape and for use in my performance. I also just had to film every synth I could get my hand for you to enjoy. You will find instruments by Siel, Elka, Elgan, Farfisa, Crumar, CRB and more here.

Music Thing Modular Mini Drive | Ambient Modular Synthesizer | Sworn64

video upload by Sworn64

"Having a little jam with the Music Thing Modular Mini Drive module from Thonk designed by Tom Whitwell.

The Mini Drive is a 4hp incandescent lamp based Overdrive/Distortion module inspired by the classic Moog Minimoog input gain. If you’re looking to get into DIY, this is very quick and easy kit to build.

Main voice is a Mutable Instruments Plaits through a Mutable Instruments Ripples, through the Mini Drive. Sequenced by the Make Noise Rene 2, clocked by the Korg SQ-1. Mutable Instruments Clouds provides the granular delay effects while the Happy Nerding FX Aid XL provides the Reverb. WMD AXYS crossfader controls the reverb send amount which is modulated by a Steady State Fate RND STP random sample and hold voltage to give the voice random splashes of reverb. The droning voice is the Acid Rain Technology Chainsaw through the System 80 Jove and 860 filters slowly modulated by an LFO. This voice is also sent through the TipTop Audio Z-Verb."

Some pics of the inside below.

"The Polivoks set include:
+ the synth without hard aluminium top cover ( i'll make handmade wood top cover)
+ and Lower original polivoks cover available.
+ euro-type power cord
+ soviet 5-pin Din connector Out and phone - are replaced to 1/4" TS mono-jacks

This synth is 100% functional. Prior to sale, the synth has been serviced, cleaned, extensively tested and including a installation duophonic MIDI mod

The MIDI IN works perfectly which makes it easier and more convenient to work with your DAWs.
All functions and features work correctly. The front panel is in excellent condition, very clean and with the very few marks normal for its age.

The synth used and has some signs of cosmetic wear,the keys are white and is fully operational and sounds really great!

All old soviet capacitors were replaced, synth after electronic prevention, tested and tuned !

49-note keyboard
2 VCOs, LFO, LP and BP Filter

Included are two Moog 1120 foot pedals, one Moog 1122 dual switch pedal, original owners manual and service manual, LAMM instructions and a beach duty vinyl keyboard cover.
The only issue I just discovered today is that the unbalanced output is a bit noisy and so is the headphone output socket. Not quite sure why this is the case, but I alway used the balanced output and it is quiet and works fine. I will include a nice balanced to 1/4” cable with the keyboard."

"Univox Branded Crumar Multiman String Synthesizer.

Great sounding string synth in excellent condition.

Bought this locally a few years ago sadly never really used it all that much. It has classic string, brass, and "piano" sounds. Fully polyphonic using divide down technique.

It doesn't have the chorus of many of the other more well known string synths, but nothing some outboard effects can't fix.

Slightly noisy on the output, could probably benefit from having the electrolytic caps changed since it's 40 something years old. Besides that, it it's perfect working condition, all keys and sliders and switches work.

Comes in it's own case with lid."
