"The JP-8000 is a classic analog modeling synth, it is famous for being the original synth to include the super saw waveform. There is full control of all the parameters on the front panel causing there to be little menu diving.

This unit is in good condition with some scratches and wear around the edges; clearly it was taken out of the house and used. The internal memory battery was just replaced and the keys were cleaned. All functions and controls work perfectly. AC power cable included."

"This synth has some pretty wicked synth textures and beats at a great price. Amazing arpeggiator too. Very underrated and well worth double the price. Great synth, lightweight, can be used as a controller too!"

Note for extensive editing you need an external editor that came with the synth or this one from Patch Base. There was one for TB MIDI Stuff and Touch OSC as well. The physical synth only gives you access to a small number of parameters. You can find a review, interview, and tips and tricks posted back in 2011 here.

MODULAR SUPER UTILTY (and a full voice) - After Later Audio QARV

video upload by Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video Nick Bigelow shares with us the new quad envelope generator and VCA by After Later Audio: QARV. Demo includes overview, ideas, and practical uses for the module.

QARV - Quad Attack, Release, & VCA

Four channels of function generator, oscillator, slew limiter, envelope, and VCAs. This module brings the ultimate in flexibility as it can be used as a standalone synth voice, a massive amount of modulation, or a four channel envelope generator w/ mixer. We believe this makes QARV a great first module and a great addition to the largest of systems.

QARV - Quad Attack, Release, & VCA

Four channels of function generator, oscillator, slew limiter, envelope, and VCAs. This module brings the ultimate in flexibility as it can be used as a standalone synth voice, a massive amount of modulation, or a four channel envelope generator w/ mixer. We believe this makes QARV a great first module and a great addition to the largest of systems.

All four channels have the following features:

Uni-polar oscillator mode
Attack and release time control via potentiometer and via input jack
Shape control that controls shape for both attack and release
Output attenuverter
VCAs that normal to each subsequent channel (CH1 -> CH2, etc.). So you can get a mix of all four channels out of the CH4 VCA output (unless you patch a VCA output from an earlier channel)
Channels 1 & 4

Voltage source (CH1 - 5V & CH4 - 10V)
CH1 & CH4 can be switched between IN (slew mode) and TRIG (envelope) mode
RISE and FALL gates. You can use our G&T module to turn these gates into triggers.
Channels 2 & 3:

Bi-polar oscillator mode
Dedicated IN and TRIG jacks (helpful for adding offset to a triggered ENV)
BOTH input jack to simplify patching both the attack and release (also inverts the input to give more standard pitch tracking of higher voltage equals higher pitch)

MAKING WAVES: A Look At The Sequential Take 5

video upload by analogcases

"SUSTAIN Case For The Sequential Take 5: https://analogcases.com/...

In this episode of MAKING WAVES, Lealani takes a look at the Sequential Take 5. The Take 5 is a compact and powerful 5-voice poly synth. It combines the warmth and punch of two analog, voltage-controlled oscillators and a Prophet-5 Rev4 analog filter with an array of digital effects and a host of modulation capabilities. The result is a classic, warm, organic- sounding subtractive synth with a modern voice. ⁣

If you're traveling with your Take 5, make sure it's protected in our sleek and durable SUSTAIN case. We also offer cases for other keyboards, too."

The Cinematic NDLR: Prophet REV2 / PEAK / WAVESTATE

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"👉Prophet REV2 patches 👉https://www.albaecstasy.ro/prophet-rev2/

This is the third time trying to use the Conductive Labs #NDLR in a track that I could publish or improve, after a few tweaks to get it a little.

I thought it would be inconvenient for me to use such a device as the NDLRm only using its arpeggiators on my synths, since I'm used to program my sequences by my own and playing them in sync, manually.

Is it good for my #Cinematic projects? For sure!
It easily allows me to start such a track that can be worked and improved lately in my DAW.

Is it good for Berlin School? Well... since I'm just discovering it, I have to find a way to integrate it with my sequencers and my workflow.
The major contribution is that brings the chord progression (that I'm not using too much in my tracks), and starting from here, I'll have to sync the NDLR to the internal sequencers of my synths.

But in the #ambient world, the NDLR is a must!

Is it easy to use the NDLR?
I haven't yet read the user manual.
I have printed it and abandoned because the NDLR is very intuitive as long as you already worked with synths and sequencers.
Do you need music theory? Not so much if you're only using the NDLR.
That's why it should be, imho, a must in every beginner's studio.

Is this track too long and incomplete? Yes!
But I hope you'll enjoy it anyway!

Sections and their instruments:
Pad: Korg Wavestate
Drone & Motif 2: Prophet REV 2 (REV 2 is by-timbral and I use it on two distinctive MIDI channels)
Motif 1: Novation PEAK

Click on each track's "info" button for liner notes and a setup picture.

All sounds are made with AE Modular systems, with only sequencing, editing/arranging and non-dominant FX allowed. So this modular synth music compilation will give anyone a great insight on how an AE Modular system can be used in an actual music making/studio context.

Check out the AE Modular forums for lots of fun discussion and information too: https://forum.aemodular.com

KORG Opsix Update 2.0.1

via KORG

Software version v2.0.1 has been released for Opsix. The latest update brings numerous enhancements to usability and functionality.

Updates, enhancement and fixes

Improved the usability of the DATA ENTRY knobs for EFFECT operators.

Pressing the plus and minus OP SELECT buttons at the same time will now select operator 1.

When Global > SYS > USB Network is set to NCM, then reset via Factory Reset > Global or Reset > All, display now correctly reflects the internal value.

Fixed an issue with importing programs from a DX7 via system exclusive messages when a program after 470 is selected. All programs after 501 will now be deleted when performing Factory Reset > All.

Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when Unison Voices is set to 5 or 7 voices.

Fixed LFO tempo precision when receiving MIDI clock with a lot of jitters.

The currently sounding voice now reflects the random waveform when it is selected.

Fixed a crash caused by running Update via USB while Time Machine is running on a Mac.

1981 Korg Polysix (PS-6) 6-Voice Analog Polysynth SN 399015

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

via SYNTH CITY Reverb

Note auction links are affiliate links. See the site's privacy policy for more info.

"The Polysix is a 6 voice analog polysynth with VCOs as opposed to the somewhat more familiar DCOs in similar keyboards of the time. This synth has a soft and warm sound likely due to those VCOs. There are also 32 preset slots available, ensemble and chorus effects and an arpeggiator.

This synth is in good working condition and was just serviced with a new replacement CPU main board (from Synthronics.de). Physically there is general overall wear but nothing out of the ordinary for an instrument of this age, worst being the paint pitting on the front panel. LED on program button number 4 is out, but everything else is fully functional (button still operates)."
