New Mochika X5 Desktop & Eurorack Synth by AtomoSynth

video upload by atomolab

"Hello World! we are proud to introduce the new AtomoSynth Mochika_X5"

via AtomoSynth

We are proud to introduce the new AtomoSynth Mochika X5. This new version of our all-time classic presents you with a complete redesign in form and substance, for the first time the AtomoSynth Mochika comes in eurorack format, for you to integrate it into your modular system and also in a standalone desktop version, now with a new triangle wave based analog oscillator and an always in tune square wave digital controlled oscillator, and also with a new wave fold effect controllable by voltage, that gives you a refreshed new sound palette that in conjunction with the classic AtomoSynth vactrol filter will free you sound possibilities.

The renewed 16-step sequencer now features 8 parameters per step: step on/off, pitch, cv2, random/cv3, gate time, repetition, retrigger (ratchet), and probability. Giving you the tools to go creative with your sequences. With the high-contrast OLED display and 8 rotary encoders with pushbuttons, now it is easier to see and edit the global sequencer settings and all parameters in real-time. It also features a 34-slot nonvolatile memory to store your patterns. You can synchronize the sequencer with an external clock or midi clock, also controllable by any external midi device for midi note playing and sequence transposition. The New 8 creative playing modes include: forward/reverse sequence, alternate, random, drunk, drone, step-trigger polyrhythm, one shot, and midi control modes. All parameters, patterns, and modes are editable while playing giving you great flexibility to perform live, experiment, and have fun creating.

The new MOCHIKA X5 is built with high-quality components. Now, with high-precision SMD technology, a compact and beautiful laser-cut sheet metal case is finished with electrostatic paint (desktop version). Designed, Assembled by hand, calibrated, and tested with care in Lima - Peru by the AtomoSynth team.

Hans Zimmer -"Time" (From 'Inception'), Modular Rendition | Expert Sleepers ES-9, VCO-2RM, Plaits...

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

Thanks for watching!
I decided to try some of the features of my new Expert Sleepers ES-9 Module, and using the Ableton CV Instrument tool, I managed to send CV/Gate info from MIDI directly through the ES-9 and into various oscillators, and back into the interface to record. It was split into 4 monophonic voices, and I was using Plum Audio's OCP (Ornament & Crime Plus) module's 4xEG mode, for the Envelope Generator. You can see the triggers of the notes by the flashing of the Analogue Solutions LED CV Cables, which is also a recent addition to me trying to make my videos look like Richard Devine's :)

Five 100% Erica Synths PERKONS Techno jams

video upload by Dave Mech

"Here's another video with a couple of jams. I left some of the parts in where you can see i'm experimenting a bit and trying to find where to take things. It's the parts where I landed on something great :). Now a matter of getting a feel for this instrument to more or less do this with eyes closed. I'm just experimenting right now to see how to get energetic grooves out of this thing quickly. To do it quickly will take some time to get the muscle memory in place. And much more to explore sound wise as well. You can really use the LFO in creative ways to take the sound pallet further.

Enjoy!

The Matttech Modular Guide to Selling #Eurorack - Matttech Modular Closes Shop

Some interesting insight from a former online modular shop.

"#MATTHS chats with Matt Preston, who up until recently, ran Mattech Modular. As a #Eurorack specialist, the shop sold modules from across most of the makers at the time. Today we chat about the current climate of selling eurorack modules, setting up a business and the pros and cons involved."

"The MiniMoog set the standard for a small synthesizer for the touring musician. Other manufacturers also released portable units more focused on specific sound palettes. This offering from Italy's Crumar (branded Univox in the USA) 'The Stringman' gives a range of fat analog tones resembling string sections of the kind that are now recognised as unique to that 'golden age' of early synthesizers and that are still able to cut through the mix."

Korg Mono/Poly w/ Custom Front Panel

video upload by Geir Helgi Birgisson

"Demo of vintage analog synthesizer Korg Mono/Poly for Reverb.com"

via this auction

"Here's a unique, vintage Korg Mono/Poly.
It works 100% and was calibrated last week. Original Korg hardcase included.

Addressing the Elephant in the Room:
This amazing custom panel is handmade, the attention to detail is meticulous!
It comes from Japan originally, where I bought it.
I like to believe that the mysterious designer behind the custom panel is none-other than Satoshi Kon (R.I.P.), amazing director of Japanese films such as 'Perfect Blue' and 'Paprika'.
His brother was a guitarist and at that time, in the early 80s he studied Graphic Design at the Musashino Art University. Kind of fits the bill, but don't quote me on that! ;)
It's a fairy tale!
But who knows, right?

So the panel is glued on and the only way to find out the status of the old, original panel would be to destroy this masterpiece. Plus, on top of that Behringer (uhg!) cloned it. So this is perfect! It's a unique synth, sounds insane and is super inspiring.

Only a slight blemish on the front panel, barely visible and one of the wooden corners needs a bit of attending to (wood glue). Other than that; it's perfect.

Stereo Panned Arpeggios | Sound Recipes #44

video upload by Reverb

"Use the Electro-Harmonix Pulsar Stereo Tremolo to add movement and stereo imagery to a latched arpeggiator, we used the classic Korg Mono/Poly. The Mono/Poly was in "Poly" mode, meaning it cycles through the 4 VCA's in sequence as the arpeggio moves from note to note. Sprinkled on top is some lush reverb by way of the Source Audio Ventris."

Light In My Garden - Alesis HR-16 Circuit Bent

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

via NOISEBUG Reverb

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

"This Circuit Bent Alesis HR-16 is one of the most classic circuit bent drum machines around. Not only is the HR-16 an amazing instrument on its own, adding the bends to the instrument only expands the entire sonic capabilities!

All the bends are routed to the toggle switch and momentary push-buttons. This unit also has a master pitch function that can be turned on with a flick of a switch. This unit is missing the volume slider cap and cannot be accessed via the front panel. Volume has been rerouted to a know of the from patch panel.

Disclaimer Circuit bent instruments can sometimes act a bit different in its functionality compared to the stock instrument. Routing to many bends can often glitch the instrument into a frozen state, now this does not happen all the time, but can happen in odd situations. Often the MIDI can start to act funny in certain cases, but all-in-all this instrument is extremely fun to play with and does create some insane percussion sounds."

Oberheim OB-8 w/ Page 2 and MIDI

via this auction

"This was one of the last ones off the line so has Page 2 and MIDI and the last OS Rev. This has always been a studio machine and it shows. Machine is fully calibrated and was recently serviced inc. new caps on PSU; autotunes like a champ. All knobs are smooth, switches and keys trigger properly (if anything every bounces or double triggers, playing it resolves). The "one" technical issue is that the Sine LFO LED is out. Otherwise works 100% and sounds incredible. It's also just a joy to play."

Ca. 1971 Moog Minimoog Model D w/ Road Case

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

via this auction

Weathered but beautiful in a rustic way.

"This is a great example of a 1971 MiniMoog Model D! At this stage they still had the earlier oscillator board design. Many feel that these are the “fattest” sounding MiniMoog oscillators. The wood shows some signs of age and use, with some minor scratching and worn finish spots. This has had the full treatment from our in house tech, including a recapped power supply and replaced keyboard bushings. Cosmetically in good condition, electronically in excellent condition. This is a great sounding monster and is ready for stage or studio use!"
