The Dave Smith Poly Evolver Rack has arrived! A short but powerful sweeping pad! My second video on YouTube was the Poly Evolver, it has over 52k views and I didn't even run it thru my digital recorder! I loved that synth so much & I missed it I had to get the harder to find cousin, the Poly Evolver RACK. In this video i am using the Yamaha MoXF6 as MIDI controller. The PER responds to Cuttoff Filter, Decay & Modulation / Pitch on the wheels very well! More Poly Evolver Rack coming soon! I also will be making a custom sound bank and SAMPLE PACK very soon for the masses! So subscribe & tap that notification bell!

New Sequential Take 5 - Five Voice Poly Synth w/ Prophet-5 Rev 4 Filter

Update: demos and higher res pics here.

MSRP 1.074€ / $1,250

You might recall Sequential registered the Take 5 trademark from this post back in June. The Take 5 takes on the look of the Pro 3 with some significant differences. The Take 5 replaces the the Pro 3's filter types (below) with the Prophet-5 Rev 4 filter. The Take 5 has more modulation capabilities than a Prophet-5, but less than the Pro 3. The Take 5 doesn't have the third wavetable oscillaor, sequencer, tuned feedback, or the extra envelope(s) of the Pro 3. Each synth has its own strengths of course. This is good news for current owners.

For reference, the Pro 3 has the following filter types:

video upload by Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video resident expert Drew of Patchwerks shows us just how fast and simple sampling can be on the Novation Circuit Rhythm.

'Circuit Rhythm is a versatile sampler for making and performing beats. Record samples directly to the hardware, then slice, sculpt and resample your sounds effortlessly. Capture your groove quantised or off-grid into the sequencer, and layer up across eight sample tracks. Invigorate your live set with performance FX: embrace imperfection with lo-fi tape, stutter your mix with beat repeat, and more. Integrate Circuit Rhythm into your studio, or unplug and create anywhere utilising the built-in rechargeable battery.' -Novation

1975 Korg - 900PS Analog Synthesizer SN 760114

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

via this auction

"Superb condition with just a few minor nicks, just one slider cap missing, output is very clean. This is the very rare original WHITE livery version, I've never seen any others, I usually only come across the yellow livery version, most looking pretty battered and rarely fully working.

The only thing I need to tell you about this synth is that the power is permanently fixed on, so you have to turn it off at the mains rather than on the synth, other than that she is in beautiful physical and working condition, all knobs, sliders and other functions, including it's very unique touch bar, are all fully working as they should and the output is as clean as a whistle."

Exploring the Wersimatic WM 24

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"We thought there wasn't really anything decent info out there on this rarity so here's a video that sheds some light on the Wersi Wersimatic 24 A & B units.

Wersimatic 24 is an analog drum machine, bass / chord arpeggiator generator similar to the Elgam Carousel, Elka Wilgamat, Godwin Drummaker 45 and Böhm Solist units, The Wersimatic 24 was manufactured in Germany in the early 1970s.
These were also part of various model Wersi organs of the era, such as the Helios that featured the "Wersimatic II" auto-comp section and they seem to be identical in controls and sounds.
The Wersimatic 24 is a bit different than your regular auto-accompaniment machine since the keyboard is a separate instrument: it holds the circuit boards and sound generators for the melodic section and sports its own volume slider and audio jack output.
The keyboard is powered by the drum machine unit via a DIN cable though, and the tempo is regulated on the drum machine as well.

24 drum patterns with 8 mutable sounds
12 rhythmic chord/bass/arpeggiator patterns
Bass section with one sound
3 chord sounds
2 arpeggiator sounds (the second arpeggiator sound is not functioning at the moment)

The bass covers two octaves, which is rare for this type of machine (the Elgam Carousel, Elka Wilgamat has a one octave bass section only) and can generate almost synth like arpeggiator patterns.

We like this machine a lot, especially the bass section and the drum sounds are really raw and industrial sounding.

Sorry for dirty fingernails, it's black paint residue - not dirt - promise.
