Sequential Trigon - Pad with 2 Pole / 4 Pole Ladder Filter, Arps & Pads
video upload by experimentalsynth
"The Sequential Trigon has a switchable 2/4 pole Ladder Filter. This helps it cover some of the usual bases while going other places less commonly covered by Ladder Filters. Can you say 'Lush'?"
Sequential Trigon Arps & Pads
"A quick mash up of arpeggiator and pad footage, just to show the sounds."
New York School of Synthesis - Mugs & More…
Avialable Here
BTW, if you somehow haven't heard of The New York School of Synthesis video series, see this post. You can find a series on the DX7 posted here.
via the Dean Friedman email list:
"Hey Folks, 
Dean Friedman here with a friendly suggestion: if you're finding it a challenge to stay up for those all-night synth sessions, our New York School of Synthesis Coffee Mugs (filled with your favorite java, tea or other stimulating beverage) is the ideal solution for modulating those waveforms, oscillators and envelopes and tweaking those filters into shape.
And, of course, we've got plenty of New York School of Synthesis T-Shirts in stock, in both classic white and night-owl black. These classic T's are the epitome of synth fashion. Wearing your NYSS T-shirt out in public will show that you have your finger on the popular pulse wave of the bleeding edge of synth culture. (note: I have no idea what that actually means). Plus they're cool!
Enjoy your holidays and keep making cool sounds!

Giorgio Sancristoforo's Compusynth 400 Released for Mac - Windows Version Coming in January
via Giorgio Sancristoforo
"Compusynth is a modular synthesiser that takes inspiration from the west coast paradigm and the mighty Altair8800, one of the first personal microcomputers available to the hobbyists in the mid 70s.
With its peculiar 128 bit sequencer, oscillators, filters, efxs and processors, Compusynth is a powerful sonic laboratory thanks to its generous resources and flexible routing with 1596 patch points!
Compusynth has everything I ever dreamt about west coast modulars: enough resources to create tons of sounds with the addition of a large memory sequencer and a fantastic tape echo.
Compusynth can make weird experimental sounds as well as traditional fat synth sequences that will serve any music genere with its warm and deep tone.
Out now for Mac OSX at giorgiosancristoforo.net. Windows version is scheduled for January 2023."

"Quick and dirty video to showcase the Böhm Digital Drums i'm selling. [via this auction]
I just made this one to show the unit is fully working, both in performance and record mode.
For those who do not already know this unit it is usually described as the "German Linn Drum" but that is an understatement in my opinion. Sure you get some nice fat 12 bit drum samples and a sequencer that grooves a lot. But it is much more than that.
If you consider it simply as a drum machine from 1983 you would still be amazed by the features it provided back then: 32 user patterns each with fill, break, solo 2 bar and solo 4 bars = 180 possible personal composition in top of the 612 (yes) prerecorded ones, up to 32 bar length and 1/64 resolution, realtime or step recording, individual instrument volumes, automatic or random fills, per pattern or global tempo, sequencer mode, pattern copy and more...
But if you disregard the built-in 'arranger' then you're missing a lot from this great device.
It consists of a 4 part analog synth engine, fully programmable. No possible edition of the sounds but the 66 different presets do sound great. Some are even routed through a analog phasing module built around Panasonic MN3006 BBD chipsets.
You can record your own 5 tracks per pattern, with different bar lengths if you want, and even use the bass part to act as a simple mono bass synth with the provided keyboard !
Probably the most comprehensive unit of its time and genre."

This one has a very rare modification that provides individual outputs and volumes for the 4 synth parts.
It also has the cassette and trigger option fitted to save and load your patterns and tape sync to other gear.
There are more possible options and modifications for the unit, including 8 seperate outputs for drum sounds, MIDI, drum triggering and more.
It has been serviced and is fully working. Brand new battery was fitted so it's ready for some 40 more years of fat beats.
As it often is the case with such a drum machine you may experience double triggering with the pads but shouldn't be an issue.
specs:
* 36 rythms with 5 variations each = 180 patterns
* 5x Fill, 5x Break and 2 solos per rythm = 432 patterns
* 44 12 bit drums samples
* 30 pads
* 36 user rythm with 180 possible patterns (36 main patterns, 36 fills, 36 breaks, 36 solo 2 and 36 solo 4)
* up tpo 32 bars pattern and resolution up to 1/64
* 4 part analog synth engine with 5 tracks sequencer
* 66 analog instrument sounds
* Realtime or step by step recording
* independant volume for each instrument, saved per pattern
* global or per pattern tempo
* sequencer mode (36 sequences max)
* stereo output
* headphone output

BFX24 is released is released on the occasion of the G-Sonique's 15th anniversary
”It seems unbelievable to us, but 15 years have passed since we released our first product. This time passed incredibly quickly. Although this job is very demanding, in an oversaturated market full of piracy and sometimes we have to work 12 hours a day, we still love it. Creating new algorithms, new sounds, new types of synthesis brings us great joy. Since we released our first product, which became very popular in the psytrance community, our small company has been discovered by many stars who use our products, for example: Black Sun Empire from Blackout music NL, Vinai from Spinnin records, Penta, Bizzare contact, Zardonic from Owsla, Vinicius Honorio from Drumcode, Dark Nebula, Drunken Kong, Teddy Killerz from Ram records, Swede of 808 mafia (producer of Lil Wayne, Dj Khaled, Gucci Mane, Farruko), Audio Anthem (Grammy award winning producer) and many others. We are still a small independent company consisting of only 3 core people, for whom it is a priority to bring products that advance the possibilities of sound and production. We thank all customers who support us and the further development of new products. As a special thanks to the community, we have prepared a FREE VST plug-in!”

Dreadbox Hades DIY Kit Build and demo
video upload by Molten Music Technology
"The Hades is an awesome analog bass synth that, for a limited time, you can get as a kit. It's a simple assembly job with no soldering involved and results in a phenomenal little beast of a machine. I'll take you through the build, the tuning and calibration and spend some time giving you an idea of what it can sound like.
I understand that the kits are sold out, but maybe Dreadbox will make some more and if not, then there will be fully assembled versions available soon.

E-MU Systems Emulator II SN 27

"This is an incredible opportunity to own a piece of history (serial number 27!). This is a completely original Emulator II (with the factory ordered 2nd disk drive), just went through the shop, and everything works. I thought about reaching out to a synth museum, but thought of how cool it would be to offer it up to fellow musicians.
The Emulator II speaks for itself and has an incredible history. It was of course, the famous model in the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and was used by countless musicians through the years including Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys and Tears for Fears (in fact, fun fact, the same model (6028) Emulator II that Tears for Fears owned was sold at auction a few years ago… BUT… it was serial number 300)! This one is serial number 27, and rolled out of the factory way before many famous artists could even get their hands on one. This one even has the original dust cover!"

Vintage 1986 Akai AX60 VCO 6 Voice Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Vintage 1986 Akai AX60 VCO 6 Voice Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer that was recently professionally serviced and deep cleaned. It’s in excellent condition, works as it should and plays great. Brace yourself for one of the most futuristic and wild sounding VCO Poly synths of the 80s!
Truly a head of its time design. It has some rare features not available on any other synths such as having PWM on every available waveform, advanced cross mod and filter mod options, multi mode arpeggiator with external sync, multiple split options, 6 voice stacked unison mode and one of the most unique and aggressive filters out of any synth ever made.
This is a really unique sounding synth that is very different than any other synth of its era dispute its familiar appearance. This synth can take you places no other VCO Poly Synth even to this day can go.
It really excels at mean leads, aggressive basses and out there sound effects. It can even get into some sonic spaces typically only possible with fully digital FM synths.
It can sound lush and pretty and get into Juno 60 territory if you want it to as well. It features one of the best built in analog stereo chorus’s I’ve heard on any synth.
Another thing that makes this synth unique is that every slider’s parameter range is much greater than most synths. If a Juno 60’s sliders take you from 0-10, then this can take you from 0-20. Its crazy fast modulation rates and window shattering resonance can take you for one hell of a ride."

RF Dpvco square wave goes through the RF transistor mixer full saturated and then through SH Vcf using 12db out making the acid lead riff .
The bass is made only with the AD multi vco using the triangle pulse wave and sending an envelope to waveshape it as a filter ! But no filter used for the bass sound .
All drums are analog and mixed through the RF Audio & cv mixer. The hats are made by a modified RD 606 (the sound is now completely different in comparison with the original)

ST Modular - ALSTADEN (Waveshaping Oscillator)
video upload by Stefan Tretau
"ALSTADEN is your source for harsh and harmonically rich sounds. It is a newly developed waveshaping tone generator and resembles the secondary oscillator of the semi-modular synthesizer „EUPHORIA“. The waves are formed by a combination of diode clipping and folding of the waveform by adding mirror images of the upper and lower parts of the waveform. This creates more high harmonics and interesting timbral variations. It also features an equalizer, which is quite unusual for oscillators, but offers more sonic possibilities."
