"In this edition of Novation Live, -CALC- follows Enrique with a deep dive into the Summit and Peak Firmware Update v2.0. Focusing on Summit, -CALC- will be highlighting the new stereo capabilities the firmware update brings and how they can be used to great effect (headphones recommended).
In the biggest update yet for Summit and Peak, Firmware v2.0 brings in essential improvements and a multitude of features across stereo controls, modulation, unpredictability, and effects, that give you powerful tools to shape your sound.
You will now be able to create bigger, wider, and more intricately textured soundscapes with updated stereo controls. Experiment with expansive sound design with modulation and unpredictability. A range of effects improvements brings new tonalities with the addition of Chorus Modes, Flanger, Phlanger, new effects modulation destinations and Lo-Fi delay
"Brain damage is an interesting eurorack mixer that makes use of a touch The Brain labyrinth four channels that you can mix by your hands or fingers or a metal sponge you can change the volume from the outputs .or you can’t control this volume by cv. You can make organic mix of sounds By touching Or you can mix Experimental voltages A lot of possibilities"
Colossus slim has been designed to elegantly stack on top of a Colossus classic for a grand double-height system.
If you already have a Colossus classic, you can still buy the slim at a later date and stack this on top - or just keep it separate.
Both work as stand-alone systems, but can be cross patched together, or with other 3rd-party synths.
A double system is supplied as 2 separate units. You will need at least 2 people to lift the slim on top. A 3rd is recommenced for moral support.
The slim is secured in places by a selection of bolts, forming one rigid unit.
AS100 Colossus ‘Classic’
This is the original and best system - the full console version. It comes with a CRT scope as standard.
AS200 Colossus ‘Slim’
A small footprint version of the classic - taking over 50% less desk space. Features all the same audio and modulation circuits of the classic.
AS200 comes with an LCD two-channel scope as standard. CRT is available as an optional upgrade.
The matrices are smaller and are totally independent. They are not internally wired. This can be seen as an advantage (it’s a matter of your personal needs) since you can patch external gear into the matrices. The matrices are half-height compared to the Classic’s.
AS200’s mixer has more inputs.
As the slim loses the touch keyboards, play using external MIDI to CV keyboards (such as Arturia KeyStep), or using a MIDI to CV converter. Slim retains the 64-step analogue sequencer. So sequence with this and/or external CV sequencers."

My favorite song from RUSH from the Album Signals (1982)
I used here the Oberheim OB-X Synthesizer for the pads and the main synth riff. The bass is made with the Moog Taurus and I used the Minimoog for the lead sound parts."
"Here is a demo of a one-of-a-kind drum machine. It"s a ryhtm unit ripped of an 70s farfisa spinet organ and built in a custom case (keeping up with the original look). Classic analog drum sounds like the ones you get out of the many boxes of that area (Roland TR77, Ace Tone FR-1 FR-2 FR-8, Hammond Auto Vari etc etc)
Demo recorded first dry and with added delay from a Yamaha BBD delay unit. No further treatment.
Unit is for sale (190 euros) if you're interested."
"We have stared to design an “Easel 208” inspired Eurorack version called Enigma. While the analog section is an authentic replica of the original synth, which also includes 14 optocouplers, we plan to add total recall functionality with an OLED display and CC control plus USB/Midi.
We believe we could make this product for US$ 399 retail.
What do you think about the functionality, layout and price?"
"Here are 20 minutes of Yamaha QY100 sounds straight out of the box (some filter sweeping and other sound tweaking on most of the sounds included). Table of contents:
00:00 E-Piano 00:54 Grand Piano 01:21 FM Piano ("DX7 Piano") 02:10 Vibraphone 02:33 Drawbar Organ 02:55 Rock Organ 03:22 Accordion 03:35 Fingered Bass 03:45 Synth Bass 1 04:12 Synth Bass 2 04:43 Synth Bass 3 05:21 Tremolo Strings 06:08 Slow Strings 06:34 Resonant Strings 07:24 Synth Strings 08:49 Choir Aaahs 09:27 Voice Oohs 10:29 Synth Voices 11:02 Trumpet 11:36 Trombone 12:32 Tuba 13:46 French Horn 14:27 Synth Brass 1 15:23 Resonant Synth Brass 16:10 Soft Brass 16:48 Square Lead 17:26 Drum Kits 19:29 Shwimmer Pad 21:02 Goblins
The QY100 has 525 XG (General MIDI plus extensions) sounds to choose from, many of those are based on the same samples. Using a MIDI controller, you can adjust filter settings, envelope settings and effect settings. This video is part of a series of videos on the QY100."
Here you will find all what you need for writing your fresh soundtrack, electronic song, ambient & cinematic music:
Massive Basses Moving Leads Unusual modular Arpeggios Recreation of famous sounds of Jupiter & CS Series Beautiful cinematic strings - massive & wide Organic pads & low drones Bells & Plucks
No external Osc & Fx were used. You will found instruction of 'how to' inside the pack. This sound (for now) not compatible with XD Minilogue, but we working on that.
Enjoy the sounds & be inspired with new cinematic discoveries!"

"In this video you can listen to some Jupiter 4 crazy sequences using the Korg SQ-1 as sequencer. The individual Gate/CV inputs for two voices were used in order to get two different sequence lines. Some external modules add pitch modulation."
"Rhodes Chroma synthesizer from the early 1980's (only 3,000 made). It was fully went thru and serviced right before I purchased it less then a year ago. Absolutely no issues with it and cosmetically its 10/10. It's been kept in a professional smoke free studio. It sat more than it actually got used so there is very little hours of use."
"This is a classic string synth that is very much like the ARP Solina, but with several more features.
The keyboard is split in the middle so that you can have a different mixture of Cello, Viola, and Violin and different Attack and Sustain settings for each section. There is also a bass oscillator and a feature called “perc” which is a deep, percussive sound like an upright bass.
This Logan String Melody II is in very good cosmetic condition. The tolex is a bit worn, but is in overall great shape. There is some minor dirt and scratches, as to be expected with a 40-year-old synth!
Note!
Theres no sound from the right side viola voice. But it still sounds amazing, i didnt even notice it before i tested each voice seperately."
"The Saarang produces the plucked sound of a conventional stringed tambura (tanpura) used for classical Indian music. The sound is produced electronically without the use of any strings. The 'Saarang' plays by itself and does not need a person to play it, you just adjust pitches and speed."
"This comes with the original power supply which has been modified with its own off and off switch - not sure why as the switch on the keyboard works just fine.
Good cosmetic condition and all the keys play and register nicely. no broken or chipped keys.
The circuit board that the buttons in the "Track" section are connected is loose, just on the left hand side, so when you press the buttons, they sink down a bit. probably just needs a screw tightened inside on that section of circuit board. all the buttons function perfectly - see the video below which shows that issue."
"There have already been some great walkthroughs by Loopop and Red Means Recording [see previous posts] so in this series I'd like to focus on the more exotic 'modules' in the Hector virtual modular module. It reminds me a lot of VCV-Rack because it has the most important Mutable modules on board (Plaits, Grids, Marbles, Warps, Clouds, Tides, Rings, etc) but even then you'll be just scratching the big touch surface. There are amp sims, there's convolution reverb and a huge array of effects and utilities. It's the ultimate starter module too."
