3athx8 | Somber Acid with Roland SH-101, Behringer RD-9, DSI Prophet 12


video upload by MIDERA

"I got a Behringer RD-9 and had plans to sell it, but the buyer never showed up, so I tried it one more time and wanted to test out sequencing the SH-101 using its trigger outs. It was fun to create.

Eventide Blackhole VST used on P12 and SH-101."

"I'm very sad to have to let go of my Prophet 12 Limited Edition white synth. These were colored white to signify the last one hundred P12's ever built after many years of production...

The P12 LE includes the original box and several excellent sound-sets that I purchased for it over the years. It is in near mint condition with minimal use since it was purchased less than two and a half years ago in December of 2019. The only marks on it are on the wood in the front (see photos) which were caused by how I had it sitting on my keyboard stand."

Roland Juno 106 61-Key Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer 1985 SN 543868


video upload by Daniel Hoisington

"Here is a 1985 Roland Juno-106! When researching the Roland Juno-106, Wikipedia mentions some of the artists that have used this instrument...Daft Punk, Tame Impala, Caribou, Animal Collective, etc. However, there are so many more artists that have included this synth in their recordings, spanning from post-punk to hip hop and it appears in several films/television shows such as Stranger Things. It delivers extremely unique tones that are warm and analog sounding."

Korg Volca FM2 review

"Is the new Volca FM2 the DX7 in a little box we've all been waiting for or is it a silly machine with a ridiculously complex and inaccessible synthesizer engine? I think it's a bit of both and in this video I'll show why it's a work of flawed genius.

Some pics of the wooden keys and inside. The Chroma has a polyaftertouch keyboard. This one appears to be SN 21030 923. Karta Inglesias is written on the inside. Possibly once belonged to the Karta Inglesias School of Music.

"Here's a lot of 5 Rhodes Chroma Keyboards someone (not us!) sadly gutted many years ago. These units are in storage far away. They're obviously missing circuitry and are for parts only. No parts of these units have been tested, so they're being sold completely as-is, with no guarantees whatsoever. Since it's impractical to go back and forth to storage multiple times, we'd like to sell all 5 in one shot to one person.

We’ve heard that one or more people have remade and sell voice card circuit boards, so it may or may not be possible to make a complete working unit our of these chassis. But please verify this and check out the pics first - we can’t promise this is true as other necessary parts may be missing. Or perhaps the voice cards someone removed from these units are still floating around there somewhere and could be used to restore one or more of these (with additional parts found somewhere else)."

Ensoniq EPS16+ | The cult/mythical Waveboy Effects


video upload by Espen Kraft

See the Waveboy label at the bottom of this post for more.

"Released in the early 90s, the Waveboy effects are custom effect algorithms you can load into your Ensoniq EPS 16-Plus or ASR-10 to access new effects, features and functionality.

Some of the effects simply enhance the effects already included, others enable you to make completely different sounds.

Some of these also makes it possible to use the EPS or ASR10 as an effects unit, in real time. Very cool. There were 7 different effects disks + some additional disks with new Transwaves, new waveforms to be used when building patches and instruments.

This shots are of me going through many of these in search for something cool I can use in my music. These aren't really meant as a tutorial or demo as such."

Elektron Syntakt. Techno and Electro Patterns

video upload by Adam Jay

"Some patterns I’ve made with Syntakt. No processing.

Things I love: The machines! The flexibility!

It can be so many things.
8 tracks of Model cycles chord machines with deeper control, 2x LFO per track, full envelopes, dual filters, p-lockable FX track. Or half a Rytm , plus new digital drum synth and bass/lead synth machines.

Or a mix between.

All with a tasty chunk of analog Heat drive, filter, and EG, but p-lockable!

There is an inverted envelope shape in the analog fx that I use as a master compressor. The drive is lovely. I also love using some of the analog kicks with a bandpass filter for textures. Can even get kinda of vinyl pops and clicks out of these.

Can have up to 3 simultaneous analog DVCO machines."

Full details:


12 Track Drum Computer & Synthesizer

Enter a sonic metropolis with Syntakt. Analog and Digital synthesis. Drum and melody. In full fusion.

All your sound crafting, sequencing, and performance needs are fulfilled, in an all-round music mega box that fits in your lap. Syntakt is a drum specialist, full of percussive possibilities, but its four analog and eight digital tracks can be used for melody, harmony, and bass sounds too. Experience epic sounds from the past, pulling others into existence from the future.

The streets of Syntakt are never-ending, the neon lights are never-dimming, its underground is fathomless. Discover worlds within worlds. Adore now. Explore forever.

Meet the machines
There are 35 sound-generating machines to call on, covering a wide range of drum and melodic sounds. Some machines have been reimagined from Analog Rytm and Model:Cycles, with deeper sound control for the latter, while others are entirely new to the world.

For you to create and personalize your sound, we’ve made sure you’ve got a set of parameter controls tailor-made for each machine. They let you quickly tweak the nature of each type of sound, showing you just the relevant options. Comprehensive without being overwhelming. Let loose with analog or digital overdrive, depending on the tracks you’re playing with.

The graphics more than play their part too, with plenty of animated icons offering visual guidance and extra clarity on how each parameter affects the sound. The joys of tweaking shouldn’t only be for the ears after all.

Special effects
Syntakt lets you route any of your synth tracks or external audio sources through the FX block. This gives you analog distortion and filtering, and a couple of LFOs to go to town with. Additionally, you can also call on Delay and Reverb as powerhouse send effects.

And all of the above effects can be sequenced with the FX track. Have them kick in at just the right moment. Add accents and dramatic changes to the selected tracks or external audio. Or use it as a master track for ducking and gating effects.

Modify the moment
Wield a little extra trig craft using the four modifiers, offering four varied levels of expression. Configure the first two modifiers to give you the retrig or velocity behavior you desire, and use the other two to access custom intensities of other parameters. They’re ready for action regardless of which synth track you’re using.

And the best bit is that they don’t just give you that extra playability fun in the here and now, you can also capture the moment by recording to the sequencer.

The keys to the city
Syntakt’s keyboard mode gives you a whole bunch of different scales to play with.

There are some familiar faces and some maybe a little less familiar for you to try out, helping you discover new places and taking things to another level.

Play across a single octave like on a piano keyboard. Or use fold, and have several octaves laid out in front of you.

Deep sound-shaping
Syntakt comes full of filter and envelope goodness. All tracks have a Multimode filter to put to use allowing you to emphasize different parts of your sound, with the digital tracks also able to call on Parametric EQ and a Base-width filter – an additional filter giving you even more sonic control.

Choose from two amplitude envelope types to define the ideal contour of your sound. Try out the ADSR envelope – for your wicked synth lines – or the simpler AHD envelope – perfect for transient percussive sounds.
