And:

3rd Wave controlled by SOMA Ether!


"While exploring the mod matrix on my @Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave, I discovered that the Audio Input mod source can accept signals from a SOMA Ether (https://somasynths.com/ether/) to create a wonderfully dynamic performance controller!

Shout out to whomever introduced me to the Ether at the NAMM 2022 SOMA booth earlier this year! I've had a lot of fun with it so far. I'm sorry I lost your business card. Please reach out if you see this!

The 3rd Wave is hiding a lot more under it's hood and this is only the first juicy bit I have in mind. I'll provide some shorter demo's showing how far the modulation matrix can bend this synth into strange places. Stay tuned!"

"THE MOST ICONIC SYNTH FOR THE MODERN MUSICIAN


The genuine ARP 2600 in a more convenient size.

The ARP 2600 is arguably the most iconic and recognizable synthesizer of all time. Having been used in countless records, film scores, TV shows and game soundtracks since its appearance from the 70’s through to today, the ARP 2600’s sound remains an essential part of the music world.

The new ARP 2600 M delivers the sound admired around the world , in a more compact and portable format and including added features that make it the ideal incarnation of this historic synth.


A LEGEND, REBORN

When the ARP 2600 FS was announced in January 2020, it quickly became a phenomenal success with musicians all over the world recognizing the faithfulness to the original ARP 2600.

The ARP 2600 M is around 60% the original size, making it lighter, more portable and easier to place and use in a studio. It integrates the same analog circuitry and components as the ARP 2600 FS, thus faithfully reproducing the characteristic ARP sound.

PROUDLY DESIGNED AND MADE IN JAPAN

The ARP 2600 M is built in Japan with the same care and extraordinary quality standard as the ARP 2600 FS, and uses the same analog components to accurately reproduce the sound and feel of the original. The Spring Reverb has been re-engineered and adapted to the new size body with the same lush effect.

With the intense focus on quality and a large amount of hand assembly, the ARP 2600 M is not a typical mass-produced instrument. Due to this boutique nature, manufacturing quantities each month will be inline with our commitment of delivering a truly prized investment.

The Ultimate Pad Sound

video upload by Espen Kraft

"What makes the perfect pad sound/patch? This can be highly subjective. To me it's a pad sound that takes me to a warm place, filled with nostalgia, which is slick, lush and soft. Lots of chorus and reverb does not hurt either. The Sequential Prophet 2000 has what it takes to make that possible.
A sampler with less than 256K of RAM and it can outperform any synth patch that ever came after it. ;-)

Support this channel on Patreon:
https://www.patreon.com/espenkraft

In this video I use a 4-part multisample where I adjust the filter cutoff for each of the parts to suit the style I'm playing. I've added a little deep bass underneath from the Kawai K3m. Everything was played live before that was added. There are no overdubs apart from that. It's all coming out of the P2000.
Reverb is from the Valhalla VintageVerb and the chorus is the Symphonic coming out of the Yamaha DMP7 digital mixer where the P2000 is hooked up.
The P2000 has a stereo output which alternated the different voices, hence the dynamic allocation of the stereo voices. That feature makes the sound even more lush."

Korg MS-10 Vintage Monophonic Analog Synthesizer SN 136216

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

via this auction, also on Reverb

"1970s Korg MS-10 vintage monophonic synthesizer in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. All functions have been tested, and all jacks, knobs, and key contacts have been freshly cleaned by our tech here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, ensuring optimal performance.

Originally introduced in 1978 as an entry-level monophonic, single-VCO synth, the MS-10 quickly became known for its huge bass response and punchy percussive sounds. Semi-modular and patchable to the VCF and VCA, the MS-10 packs loads of functionality into a compact, beloved package; widely used to great effect by artists like The Chemical Brothers and Autechre.

The analog VCO has four switchable waveform shapes: triangle, sawtooth, pulse, and white noise. The Filter is the same KORG35 12 dB/Oct low pass filter that appeared in the MS-10’s iconic older sibling, the MS-20. The is a single resistor VCA, the amplitude of which can be controlled by the envelope generator. Despite its small stature, there is a wide array of modulation and envelope shaping controls onboard this synth and a wide array of possible sounds to produce. The envelope’s rise and fall profiles are entirely linear, lending this synth a unique, almost lethargic organic sound. Further expanding the scope of the MS-10s functionality is the inclusion of an external input-to-filter; enabling external sound sources to be processed through the synth’s filter.

The MS-10’s normalized connections can be modified with patch cables, allowing the LFO to modulate the pulse width of the VCO and/or the amplitude of the VCA. Additionally, there is an onboard noise generator with white and pink noise outputs, and CV and Gate In/Outs.

The unit housing is rugged and durable, with very restrained wear on the enclosure edges."

The OB-X has Oberheim S.E.M. filters while subsequent OB synthesizers have Curtis ladder filters which have a somewhat different sound. The OB-X is purely Oberheim.
Fully functional, with only one exception. It doesn't seem to want to load patch data from tape in. The memory locations do work and hold patches though. There's a new battery in there too.
This is a temperature sensitive synth, let it warm up, and it is warm."

Custom Korg PolySix Vintage Analog Synthesizer w/ KiwiTechnics KiwiSix Upgrade

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

via this auction, also on Reverb

"Cosmetically, this unit is extremely unique. It has been painted purple with yellow trim, with a large vintage Batman sticker placed central to the back of the enclosure on top of additional purple-painted tape. The knobs have also been painted purple. There is a fair bit of honest wear across the enclosure, but nothing extending beyond minor nicks and dings. Additionally, some of the yellow spray paint extends to the upper two octaves of keys and cheek."

"The KiwiSix upgrade significantly expands overall functionality and mitigates several issues common to the PolySix, including replacing the original KLM-367 circuit board; which are frequently corroded due to the frequent failure of the original nickel-cadmium batteries. The KiwiSix upgrade also provides 512 tone slots, all able to be stored/edited, with 64 preloaded tones. Sequencing capability is increased; 8 separate 124-max step sequences can be edited and stored. Additionally, the KiwiSix enables MIDI functionality, with the ability to independently set the MIDI In & Out channels. The Arpeggiator and Sequencer can both output MIDI, and the Sequencer can be entirely dictated by MIDI input. The internal clock hardware has been overridden and expounded upon; now able to clock the Arpeggiator and/or Sequencer and can optionally generate a MIDI clock. Key Transposition augmentation allows transposition from 1 octave down to 2 octaves up."

What Graindad can do
With up to 64 grains Graindad offers extensive possibilities to define your sound in realtime. With 12 main parameters, quick and powerful access to granular synthesis is provided.

There are basically 2 modulation systems: a classical system with modulators like step sequencers, lfo, & envelope, for familiar access. And a modulation system called Harvester, which provides an easy and playful way to control multiple parameters at once in a visual manner. These two modulation systems can then be mixed for uniquely complex results.

Randomization is a big part of Graindad - varying amounts of randomization can be applied to nearly every parameter. Furthermore, there are dedicated functions to define when randomization should be generated, for example, a transient in your audio signal can trigger a randomizer.

See https://sugar-bytes.de/graindad for additional details.
