"Although typically understood as a slimmed down entry level offering from Sequential Circuits, the Six-Trak has the distinction of being one of the first multi-timbral MIDI synthesizers. Like the name says, the built in sequencer can access all six voices individually for easy stand alone composition. This Six-Trak is in good cosmetic shape with average wear and tear, no sonic issues. All voices, keys, buttons, and pots in good repair. Includes original box!"

"The ARP AXXE is the younger sibling to the better known Odyssey, to which it features a very similar layout. The main difference being that it only has one VCO so there are no duophonic capabilities or ring modulator. That doesn't take away from the fact that its still a really great sounding monosynth with that beloved ARP bite!

This synth is in great shape for its age, recently serviced and calibrated."

This trick unlocks more LFOs on your FM synth (Reface DX)

"Here's an idea for using fixed frequency operators in sound design - as a makeshift LFO of sorts.

00:41 create a new patch
01:01 choosing an algorithm
01:28 setting the modulator's level
01:55 setting the operator's mode to fixed frequency
03:05 shaping the tone using the remaining operators
04:21 applying a pitch envelope on the fixed frequency
05:21 using the amp envelopes for further sound shaping
06:42 adding effects
07:02 longer demo

Roland TR-6S All Preset Sample FX Sounds ACB Drum Machine Rik Marston

video upload by Rik Marston Official

"This is a just a quick demo of every preset sample fx
sound on the TR-6S. If you were like me, you are curious
about internal sounds & if you are going to be happy with
the money you just spent. I looked for a video demoing the
FX sounds of the TR-6S and found nothing. So for those who
are interested on the internal FX sounds, here you go! :)
Some Roland fans will notice some FX sounds come from the
Spectrasonics Special FX SR-JV80 expansion board! Awesome!
Then after the sample demo I tweak a short dark beat. Sweet kit!
My new Seymchan Pallasite Meteorite pyramid is hanging out, too!
**It sends you POSITIVE COSMIC VIBES!!!**
Thank you for watching!"

Oberheim OB-X Analog Synthesizer (1979) Sounds from the old Synth Beast

The Oberheim OB-X Analog Synthesizer (1979)
For me one of the best synthesizers ever made. I use the OB-X many years and I had never technical problems. The sound is very different to the later curtis chip based OB--Xa. But I like both.
My OB-X is a eight voice. Enjoy some sounds."

"Everything functions except the three orange buttons. I never used these buttons, so I don’t miss them. They turn some settings off or on. I was always adjusting these setting while playing, so didn’t need the buttons. One key is slightly raised, but it doesn’t impact how I play it. I bought this original MiniMoog in 1970. I used it for about 10 years until I moved to Va and no longer played out."

"The JD-800 is a 24-voice digital wavetable synthesizer which mimics an analog polysynth, using dozens of dedicated sliders for sound editing. It has 108 different PCM waveforms, and a multi-mode filter. Its five-octave keyboard responds to both velocity and aftertouch.

This unit has had the problematic red glue (for key weights) sealed in, and all sliders on the front panel cleaned. Power cord is included."

Oskitone Scout Arduino-compatible Open Source DIY Mini Synth

Oskitone Scout Assembly from oskitone on Vimeo.

Putting together the Oskitone Scout, after it's been soldered

http://www.oskitone.com/product/scout-synth-diy-electronics-kit

New from the makers of the POLY555 Synth.

It's called the "Scout" because it's the first Oskitone synth to use a microcontroller, specifically the ATmega328 -- just like the Arduino Uno.

From the readme:

scout (/skout/):

One sent to obtain information
Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, of Atticus Finch
The first synth from Oskitone to venture into the big ol' world of microcontrollers
The Scout is:

Beginner-friendly: All components are through-hole (instead of surface mount) for easier soldering, and full assembly takes about 45min. Standalone, battery-powered, doesn't need a computer or external speakers to work. Fun! 3D-Printable: Besides the electronics and nuts and bolts, all parts are 3D-printed. And with a total width of ~160mm (about 6.3"), the Scout can fit on smaller, "Mini" (18x18x18cm) size print beds.

Hackable: Arduino-compatible and fully open source! Hook up an FTDI Serial TTL-232 cable (sold separately) to update its code using the Arduino IDE.

Minimally featured: 1.5 octaves of keys, a volume knob, on/off switch, speaker, headphone jack. Monophonic square wave with fixed glide and octave.

In addition to it being the first microcontroller-controlled instrument from Oskitone, the Scout would also make a fine introductory DIY instrument for the budding electronics hobbyist. (Some experience soldering and a general familiarity with how electricity works are recommended though!)

Like my previous work, I designed the Scout's PCB in Kicad and everything else in OpenSCAD, specifically for 3D-printing. The Scout is available assembled or as a DIY kit, with and without the 3D-printed parts; and it's fully Open Source!"

KORG miniKORG 700FS (2021) Limited Release Demos by Y.O.P. channel

"The "miniKORG 700S" released in the 1970s was reprinted by KORG in a limited production. I got it, so I made a review video immediately.
This synthesizer was the "first synthesizer" I first encountered when I was in high school. The feelings I wanted at that time will come true now! Thank you Korg.
I think it's a very attractive instrument, such as "It's a genuine analog synth that isn't found in recent digital synths." "At the same time, it has features that couldn't be realized in the 1970s." ..

This instrument looks very small, but it's heavy enough to slip out! !!

A toast to the revival of a famous machine that will throw a stone in the way musical instruments should be!"

Note this playist includes some extra videos, but primarily featured the miniKORG 700FS at the time of this post.
