Mid-2000s Signal Arts MAPS Sequencer

via this auction
"The rare, more playable predecessor to the TetraMAPS, the MAPS has 16 banks of 8 sequences, able to run multiple concurrent sequences, chaining sequences to other sequences, modulating sequences by each other, and sending the sequencer output to any of three cv+gate pairs as well as up to 32 channels of MIDI.
Sequences can run at different speeds from each other, sync'd to external trigger, external clock, each with different step lengths.
While you could use it for some drum applications, where this really shines is leads and melody (or bass and acid, for that matter). Unlike most sequencers, you can trigger the same sequence to play from different start points simultaneously, leading to polyrythms that are more difficult to achieve with most other gear. You can also start and stop those layered sequences very smoothly live."

video upload by umusic6
"Check out the punchy and crunchy patterns of this ultra rare, compact 12 bit Sample Drum Machine, like the Linn Drum.
Additional bass in the intro by Behringer Pro-1.
This was actually a DIY kit offered in the 80ies. Samples are stored on two ROM chips.
Each Pattern has 3 variations which even have different Fills, Breaks, Solos. So, besides not programmable, lots of patterns to discover."
Sakata Hammond DPM-48 Pitch mod demo
video upload by umusic6
"This mod hacks each voices sample clock by using a NE555 based clock on a small pcb yhat replaces the provide clocks for the 4040 counters of each voice.
The results make this machine so much more versatile.
Still have to do this for all other voices and add knobs to the surface."
Crumar Bit 99 with Tauntek Firmware Upgrade Midi CC Control & Sakata DPM 48
video upload by umusic6
"Bob Grieb did it again and brought Midi CC control to another old veteran synth: The Crumar Bit. Information can be found here: http://www.tauntek.com/CrumarBit.htm
You can also get the new Firmware Eproms , officially licensed, from https://www.untergeek.de/crumar-bit01...
My old iPad 1 is running theTB Midi Stuff App with the Bit Controller panel. But of course any other controller or software supporting customizable Midi CC will work."

"Roland Promars, freshly repaired and calibrated. Dry sounds with no FX. Going quickly through the 8 hardwired presets, then the 8 user-presets of mine, then into manual mode. What a great raw analog sound."
Oberheim Matrix-1000 Through Roland GP-8 with Stereoping Controller - Awesome Chorus
video upload by umusic6
"Running an already great Matrix 1000 String sound thru the Roland GP-8 with just Delay and Chorus activated.
Quite a nice digital (!) Chorus with unusual additional Predelay and Feedback parameters.
As well as a basic but good sounding digital delay.
Everything running through Lexicon 300 Large Hall at the end of the chain."
Korg Polysix Unison Mod
video upload by umusic6
"Applied this easy mod to my Polysix: http://synthhacker.blogspot.com/2013/....
Thanks to Thorsten for the idea and hint.
Gives control of the detune amount which is originally fixed to 220Ohm. So Unison can now be controlling from very harsh to heavily detuned.
Since i don't like drilling holes in those vintage gear, I sacrificed the Chord Mode Input on the back, where a simple pot with fastener can nicely be fitted."

tahti.studio - Online Elektron Inspired Groovebox with Sample Import

Mouse over the controls for tips at the bottom of the player.
Some details via Create Digital Music
"maxjvh writes us to tell us about their creation tahti.studio, a labor of love inspired by Elektron’s fine groove hardware and workflows. It seems ideal for the person who adores their Elektron machine enough that they want to have some echo of it even looking back from their browser.
We’ve seen lots of these kinds of creations over the years – ah, remember the days when some folks were predicting browser tools would replace everything else? But this one is unusually powerful.
You get support for your own samples, for one, and easy secret link sharing of grooves you create means you can use this as a collaboration tool – or just a way of sending folks your feelings by drum machine pattern instead of words.
Single cycle waveforms? Yes. Powerful voice architecture? You bet. Per-step trigger conditions and p-locks and microtiming? I mean, honestly, this actually bests a fair amount of hardware. Add some sends and you could even finish stuff on this – but it also looks like a cute way of making some loops at random times that you can later load on your DAW or hardware."
The full feature list:
sample-based sound generation with support for single-cycle waveforms
almost all parameters can be modulated on a per-step basis
each track has a multimode filter, distortion, frequency shifter, sample-rate reducer, and amp envelope
three freely assignable modulation sources per track (essentially flexible LFOs that can be used in one-shot mode)
steps have micro-timing, retriggering, probability, and trigger conditions
tracks can have individual lengths and sequencer speeds (the latter can even be step-modulated, because why not)
four send effect: chorus, phaser, reverb, delay
a master compressor and soft clipper
macro controls for working with all kinds of inputs (check out the shortcuts)
pattern sharing via secret links (e.g. tahti 13)

Erica Synths Pērkons HD-01 Delayed Due to Chip Shortage
Via Erica Synths
"Earlier in 2021 Erica Synths announced the upcoming drum machine & synthesizer Pērkons HD-01. As the news were received with a lot of encouraging excitement we have been working hard to fulfil the promise of making the instrument available to you within 2021.
Unfortunately our plans were affected by unforeseen circumstances coming from suppliers - we had ordered micro-controllers for Pērkons HD-01 early in 2021 with a promise to have them delivered in September, the delivery date kept pushed and pushed ahead up to the point of them becoming available only in late 2022. We are currently reworking the PCB to function with other parts that are available to us sooner. You can be sure - no compromises are being made.
Meanwhile we have actively continued the development as well as improved the user interface. We now expect to open pre-orders early 2022 and will soon present a new demo to showcase the re-worked & even better version of Pērkons HD-01."
RRP: 1650 EUR (VAT excl.)
You can find posts featuring the Perkons HD-01 including demos here.

via this auction
Introduction video here
"Ken MacBeth's Micromac -R is a small and yet powerful, full analog standalone synthesizer voice module for your Eurorack modular system. Unlike his competitors it has three voltage controlled oscillators and a classic Moog lowpass filter.
Control only via CV and Gate - No MIDI
3VCOs: VCO1 and 2 have saw, pulse, triangle and sine waveforms and the pulse width can be voltage controlled by external CVs. A low frequency noise with level control is available as well. VCO 1 can hard sync VCO2. VCO3 can be used as a modulation oscillator and can be disconnected from the master CV. Modulation targets are filter cutoff frequency and/or pitch of VCOs1and2. All VCOs have individual outputs, coarse and fine frequency controls, separate CV inputs for controlling frequency and pre-filter level controls.
The filter is a Moog 24dB lowpass filter. Its input is a mixture of all three VCOs and noise. The cutoff frequency can be controlled by the first envelope generator as well as by an external CV. The filter tracking is switchable between off / half / full (0%, 1V/oct and 1.5V/oct).
The envelopes are ADSRs with a switchable release parameter thats time is depending on the decay parameter, just like the Minimoog. The filter envelope can be also used to control VCO2´s pitch what sounds great when VCO2 is synchronized. Furthermore you can invert this envelope´s characteristic. The second envelope modulates the VCA. If an external CV is patched to the VCA the internal modulation is broken up. A momentary button allows for manual triggering of the envelopes
CV in, CV out (1V/Octave), Gate In, Gate out
three CV inputs for VCO 1-3 frequency, two PWM CV inputs 1&2; external audio input pre-VCF, individual outptus for VCO 1-3
CV input for filter cutoff, external audio input pre-VCA, Main-Out

Fully functional. It seems to track pretty well once the gain is set properly. It has never been serviced. It may benefit from a calibration, but it is more than satisfactory to my ears. This thing is tons of fun. It was marketed as a guitar synthesizer, but it will accept any analog audio signal. It has the same processing engine as the classic Korg MS-20.
Overall I’d rate the unit a solid 9/10. The Foot Balancer and dual switch are in great shape as well."

"This is a Vintage 1960's Gibson Maestro Rhythm N Sound G-1 Synth/Effects Unit w/ Original Case! The pictures are of the actual item for sale.
In 1968, the Gibson/Maestro Rhythm N Sound arrived on the scene to challenge and perplex guitarists with its way-way-out “sounds” and absurd features. It has the ability to make both percussion and bass (octave under) and organ (fuzz )type sounds, using the guitar as a controller/trigger. In addition you can get 3 types of filters on the guitar tone and either use them together or separate from the original guitar signal. The Echo preset is really a hard-knee tremolo. The Distortion is not unlike the coveted Gibson/Maestro Fuzz, which has a sort of grinding fuzz sound with no real fidelity. The String Bass appears to be an octaver."

Patch Point Sidrax Organ by Ciat-Lonbarde
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Sidrax Organ follows a lineage of electronic musical instruments based on touch. It was redesigned twice, first as Sidrassi, then as Sidrazzi. It has seven wooden bars that you press to express seven oscillators within. Each oscillator has its own fine tuning slider, embedded right within its bar. Also, there is a master pitch knob, and a master chaos knob. The master chaos knob makes the instrument go from pure triangle tones to a nest of noise. It does this by gradually increasing modulation from one oscillator to the next in a circular pattern. Sidrax has enough bars to construct sweetest melodies from the triangle waves, whereas Tetrax is a simple four-bar entity, with complexity of tone for funky bass.
There are 44 modulation points brought forth as banana jacks. They are arranged in seven columns, representing the seven bars. Their layout is shifted diagonally, to allow inputs in proximity to outputs. This is for touch-playability; you can make banana jack metal studs that can be squished by hand to gesture-patch the instrument. Inputs are cool colors: blue, green, and grey. Outputs are hot colors: red and orange. The grey jacks are parallel inputs with the master knobs: the one on the left is for master pitch, the right one is master chaos. The color allotment for each bar is as follows:
Two orange jacks, representing the press and release gestures on that bar in voltage.
One red jack, which is the pure triangle output of that oscillator.
Two green jacks, that are "glitch" inputs. They cause the boundary conditions of each oscillator to wire to the output of another. A modulation inspired by circuit bending.
One blue jack, an fm modulation input for that oscillator.
The Sidrax organ has a stereo-mini output on the back. This is because each bar, outputs in different channels during the press/release cycle. In addition to the stereo-mini jack, it has an power switch, and optional built-in batteries, or an external, 9volt battery snap."

Sidrax has enough bars to construct sweetest melodies from the triangle waves, whereas Tetrax is a simple four-bar entity, with complexity of tone for funky bass.There are 44 modulation points brought forth as banana jacks. They are arranged in seven columns, representing the seven bars. Their layout is shifted diagonally, to allow inputs in proximity to outputs. This is for touch-playability; you can make banana jack metal studs that can be squished by hand to gesture-patch the instrument. Inputs are cool colors: blue, green, and grey. Outputs are hot colors: red and orange. The grey jacks are parallel inputs with the master knobs: the one on the left is for master pitch, the right one is master chaos. The color allotment for each bar is as follows:
Two orange jacks, representing the press and release gestures on that bar in voltage.
One red jack, which is the pure triangle output of that oscillator.
Two green jacks, that are "glitch" inputs. They cause the boundary conditions of each oscillator to wire to the output of another. A modulation inspired by circuit bending.
One blue jack, an fm modulation input for that oscillator.
The Sidrax organ has a stereo-mini output on the back. This is because each bar, outputs in different channels during the press/release cycle. In addition to the stereo-mini jack, it has an power switch, and optional built-in batteries, or an external, 9volt battery snap."

The Sound of Genesis - Afterglow with Moog Taurus, Roland VP-330

The last Genesis video in the series. Afterglow is one of my favorite Genesis songs too.
Like usual it`s a cover and not original at all. It`s my interpretation of this song. Not a exact copy! When you will hear the original song than click on the original song.
I used the Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus for the choir and strings sounds.
The deep bass is the MOOG TAURUS bass pedals.
For the Hammond Organ sounds I used the Roland M-VS1 module."
