Fess Grandiose: In Sequence - Using Peak Presets // Novation


video upload by NovationTV

"In this edition of Artist: In Sequence, we caught up with the talented, Chicago-based beatmaker and producer - Fess Grandiose. As an associate editor for Reverb and instructor at Afrorack, an organisation that uses modular synthesis to bridge equity gaps and helps bring African American youth into the world of STEM, he's a central part of the Chicago music community.

He talks about how Peak's presets allow him to get ideas flowing quickly, and why sequencing Peak and his modular system with Circuit Tracks makes for a fun, hands-on approach to making music.

SOUNDMIT 2021 - SPECIALE SYNKET - Il Sintetizzatore italiano più raro! - UNBOXING


video uploads by SOUNDMIT

Googlish translation (original Italian below):

"Topical event of SOUNDMIT 2021 was the discovery, by Francesco Mulassano of Soundmit, of one of the rarest electronic musical instruments in the world and certainly the rarest of those designed and built in Italy.

Found in the United States almost by chance, the SYNKET designed and built by PAOLO KETOFF in 1964 was acquired by the Marche and Italian Synthesizer Museum and is currently undergoing restoration before being exhibited at the next edition of the Museum in 2022.

With this video series, we retrace the history of this tool with interviews, unboxing and passionate chat!

Soundmit 2021 was created in collaboration with the Marchigiano and Italian Synthesizer Museum in Macerata

Due to a technical problem during the second day of the "Soundmit & Museum of Synth 2021" some videos may be of lower quality. We apologize for the inconvenience.

"After owning both the Sequential Prophet 6 and the Prophet Rev2 for quite a while, I decided to answer a question I've gotten quite a few times: "why do you have two Dave Smith Polysynths?" I'm sure no one will have strong opinions about which synth they prefer....

1:15 - A new contender emerges?
3:36 - The Rev2 and why it's awesome
6:14 - The Prophet 6 sounds incredible

Introducing move.ment - Soft Synth From Kia the Car Company


Introducing move.ment | The story behind the instrument | Kia video upload by Kia Worldwide

World's first synth released by a car company?

"Movement in nature has always inspired Kia.

Scientific research shows that the sounds of movement found in nature produce a sound frequency that can help trigger inspiration. In collaboration with synth builder, Arthur Joly [Reco-Synth], we captured the natural sounds of movement all over the world and turned them into an instrument called move.ment.

Now, we bring you the story of move.ment and the inspiring journey that led to its creation.

Tom Oberheim on GForce OB-E


video upload by GForce Software

Also see Bright Sparks - Tom Oberheim

"'I was pretty amazed by OB-E, it was pretty damn close right out of the shoot. It was “wow!'. I like listening to that." Tom Oberheim.

In 2021, during the release of OB-E®, we were contacted by Marcus Ryle on behalf of Tom Oberheim. Marcus is a co-founder of Line 6® but also a former Oberheim Developer who contributed to the OB-Xa, DSX, DMX, OB-8, Xpander and Matrix 12. Via Marcus, OB-E had found its way to the ears of Tom Oberheim and they were both impressed enough to suggest a collaboration to refine the instrument and release an update carrying their full endorsement.

Working under the guidance of Tom and Marcus, we further enhanced OB-E, Refining the Detune feature and adding a new Vintage knob, which dials in more realistic musical inaccuracies in line with the original instrument for a truly authentic 8-Voice experience.

The 8-Voice is not simply eight identical SEMs put together. The interaction of those 8 independent, and slightly different Synthesizer Expander Modules, plays a major role in making the 8-Voice’s sound special and the injection of these authentic inaccuracies into each of the eight SEMs in OB-E takes it to another level.

But don't listen to us - listen to two of our heroes, and bonafide industry legends, talk about their opinion of OB-E.

"The latest version of OB-E is the first ever software instrument to be endorsed by synthesizer pioneer, Tom Oberheim. It is also PC compatible and both Mac & PC versions contain several enhancements developed in collaboration with Tom that make it even closer to the original. As if that's not cool enough, we've also added several new features including a comprehensive Reverb Effect and a Drum Mode. This video focusses on what's new.

00:08 - Introduction.
00:27 - Interface Resizing.
00:43 - Vintage Knob & Detune Knob.

Great Synth Mysteries Ep. 5: The RAREST SYNTH I Just Found Out About (mini)

Note it's Paula Maddox of course. Noir Et Blanc does mention it as the video progresses.

"So those of you who follow me KNOW I LOVE the 002, while rare, this details the reason why even the Modal 002 isn't the rarest in the 00 line. Anyways, I did this video more for me than anyone else, but I think I can do 'mini' mysteries more often."

"Just a little LOUD AND DISTORTED Trogotronic Infernal Noise Machine SpazeDrum Sound of Shadows SOUND DESTRUCTION! WAAAGH!!! Well ... so ... I wanted to use the Flight of Harmony INM-E to process the analog Gotharman SpazeDrum output. But then I thought: "Why not step it up a notch?". So I added the Trogotronic 679 vacuum tube ...

EMS SYNTHI A Vintage Synthesizer w/ Manuals

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


via this auction

"Fully restored: in excellent working order and including 6 month warranty from Europe’s top EMS specialist.

Stunning sounding example: serviced and ready to ship. Tony says: “I’m always reluctant to let a Synthi go as they each have their own character and I’ve really connected to this one…”

EMS Synthi A for sale in excellent working order following a thorough overhaul and extensive testing (it’s a tough job, but Tony forced himself to do it 🙂 ).

Sonically and visually this is an early Mk1, but it has had some internal boards (that do not affect the tonality) replaced by early EMS Cornwall boards (see below for further info). Tony has tested this extensively and confirms it sounds just as he’d expect from an early Mk1: in fact he’s still not handed it back and is feverishly recording with it before someone buys it. Demos of Tony’s exploits with this Synthi are below.

New commission instruction: more info below from the technician who performed the servicing

This is a Mk1 Synthi with early EMS Cornwall replacement B and C boards. As the sound and character depends on board A and the matrix layout, this Synthi works and sounds as you’d expect from a Mk1.

Supplied with three EMS handbooks which contain essential and detailed information for the budding (or experienced) Synthi user: the VCS3 manual; The Synthi Book Of Sounds; The Synthi Educational Handbook.


CONDITION:

In very good overall condition, the face is clean showing some wear and discolouration as you’d expect from a vintage Synthi. It’s had an IEC socket installed in the past. The Spartanite case has had a hole blanked off near the handle and is missing its badge. The lid has the two mounting holes for a KS section (to make it an AKS) but as the joystick is the longer type and the power supply not upgraded for KS, it would appear that the lid is not original to this unit. Please see photos or get in touch if you require more information on condition."

"Gorgeous Roland SH-3A Monophonic Synthesizer!

***Service work completed:

-Every key was removed, individually cleaned, and lightly polished. Every key spring was reshaped and lubricated, several key bushings were replaced and all were re-lubricated. Every key contact wires were cleaned with 99% IPA. The entire key bed chassis was cleaned.

-The power supply was fully recapped and solder joints were reflowed. All cables and connectors were checked and replaced if necessary.

-Every slider/potentiometer was cleaned and fully lubricated from the inside.

-The entire front panel was was cleaned and polished individually (with the pots, buttons, and keybed removed).

-Some minor rust spots on the bare metal inside the unit (which 99% of vintage synths have to some extent) were sanded and treated.

-The exterior case was fully cleaned and touched up.

**The keys look a bit yellow in these photos, but this is not the case in person. The camera makes them look much more yellow than they actually are. 70's Roland key beds have a slightly yellow look to them naturally from the factory. We have three SH-3As here currently and all the 3 key beds look identical.**

Next Phase User Guide - Vintage-Voiced All-Analogue Eurorack Modular Phaser


video upload by AJH Synth Official

"The NEXT PHASE is a hugely versatile phaser, with extensive voice controls, CV control, and an ability to attain vintage tone without the significant noise floor of many famous guitar pedal phasers of the past. It's based on the EHX Small Stone made famous by Jean-Michel Jarre and others, but since it's modular it goes way beyond it in sound-sculpting potential. It can produce the familiar 4-stage phasing sounds of such phaser pedals, but can have up to 12 stages in both the phase stage, and emphasis (resonance/feedback) stage independently, creating even more harmonic complexity. Also, it's internal LFO can be disabled, sent to other modules, or used in combination with external CV signals, such as envelopes or sample & hold for example. It has 2 outputs taken from different points in the phasing process, which can be used to create a stereo effect, and a 100% wet output for processing externally. With all of these features combined, the Next Phase can go from classic early electronic music and synth pop, to modern electronica and sound effects/soundtracks/soundscapes, even percussion processing. See this video showing how it can be used as an interesting alternative to a filter/VCF: [posted here]
