"Here is a self-playing patch on the Moog IIIC with a little help from the Buchla-format Gaussian module by Magnetic Freak
The patch is as follows: 3 Moog VCOs go into 3 VCAs (and one vial the LPF also) and these are being enveloped and triggered from 3 outputs of the Gaussian
The pitches also come from the Gaussian, but are being modified by the 2 Moog sequencers to give them some variation
It all goes into the Moog Matrix Mixer so I can do panning, eq and also add delay into the mix, in this case a Moog-format digital unit from Synthetic Sound Labs. It is VC-able, and is really wonky and lo-fi - but I love it as its very unpredictable and is providing the white-noisey percussive sounds when it gets CVs from the sequencer
Thats pretty much the patch - I am not interacting with it - its completely self-aware and a bit like a crazy Moog jazz band that doesn't know what its supposed to be doing but does it anyway

"The infamous OB6 marks the last collaboration between Tom Oberheim and Dave Smith and already counts to be one of the most legendary Synths out there. In this week’s video Jonas is trying to recreate the sound of the OB6 with digital and hardware solutions"
This new design aims to bring some refreshing features and FX to the T-420 family in an ultra affordable and compact package.
A super minimal bare PCB design with protective base plate and SMD components. With this design many steps have been taken to reduce production and lead times in 2023!
Featuring:
Micro USB input for power (USB cable included!)
Bypass switch
Mode switch (to switch between "original FX mode and "SE" FX mode)
CV Input for controlling with modular synthesizers
4 FX control knobs (a new 4th knob adds an even wider scope for fx)
This unit works and looks its absolute best when plugged directly into a CRT TV, but it works well in bigger video rigs with video mixers/ TBCs etc.
The First batch of 30 units are shipping out at the end of January.

"Introducing the wonderful CRB Computer Band 2000 - a mainly analog auto-accompaniment machine from the the late 70s and early 80s with four sections:
1.Drums with individually mutable sounds and fill-in and variation options
2.Bass section with three sounds, decay controls and two modes
3.Two chord sections with a total of seven sounds, decay and volume controls.
4. And an arpeggiator with four different sounds and decay control.
A great song writing tool when you're stuck and simply a very inspiring instrument, the sounds on these are really cool.
The Computerband 2000 was originally made for big home-organs, they're incorporated into the CRB 910 organs and a few Solton branded ones as well.
These stand-alone units are very rare."
"Today I am happy to share 611 Supreme. This track sits at the beginning or end of my sets, I almost never play it in the middle of a show as the vibe on it is to ease you in or ease you out. It's a 140 BPM Chill-IDM song about my old favorite bar on Capitol Hill in Seattle, the 611 Supreme.
Perks of being a member include Patch from scratch videos, behind-the-scenes, HD pictures of gear and such, unreleased music, sample packs, and many more :)"
"v4.02 firmware brings touch slider.
Qun mk2 uses generic development board and the bottom board has touch buttons, but they were not utilized.
V4.02 firmware will convert those buttons to touch slider.
Since the buttons are not designed for touch slider, the experience is not the best, and the buttons are little bit hard to reach, but it's nice to have it."

"Fully working and serviced Korg Lambda ES50 polyphonic synthesizer.
Many Lambdas have one or more dividers that fail and thus you don't have the 3 osc per note you are suppose to get and you don't necessarly hear it except by meticulously testing every key of the keyboard with the 3 tuning pots. And their switches are prone to failure and are difficult to rebuild or replace, they make a complex matrix for the instrument, not simple ON/OFF switches, so if you find a Lambda with switch issues beware because it probably won't be fixed by spraying contact cleaner as it usually is the case.
This unit is working and sounding exactly how it should.
Cosmetics is quite good, the original wood was covered by a black adhesive reminding of Tolex or leather. Not perfect but quite decent.
230v unit."
"Great vintage analog synthesizer that is in decent shape for its age. Everything is fully functional. As it sits, some of the sliders are a little scratchy when slid but can be exercised and freed from dust very easily. There a few that are slightly bent but does not affect functionality. There is one minor scratch on the face plate, not too noticeable and can only be seen under the right lighting. Tried to capture, see photo.
These are getting more rare. They have a great built in chorus, flange and useful eq.
The Brass section alone is worth it. Calling all collectors this is the only one on sale (online) at the moment."
"Not gonna lie, the recent announcement for the #expressiveeosmose blew me away. The only thing that kept me away from preordering it was the realization that i have a Seaboard Block sleeping in my drawer 😉😅 As i felt sorry for it, i fired up #AnimoogZ and #Quantasynth for a quick messing around with some #mpe action. GAS kept away for the moment 😂
.
Nice thing about this audiovisual jam was to use the pressure data from the #seaboardblock to modulate the turbulence strength of the projected particle simulation #madewithnotch. So the harder i press on the Seaboard the more swirling around is happening."
"The Hampshire Electronics Dual LFO is a 100% analogue modulation source in the popular Eurorack format.
The LFO features two completely independent low frequency oscillator channels, with each channel outputting three independent waveforms, saw/triangle, square and sine.
The duty of all three waves is controllable, enabling many waveshapes to be created. As an example, all waves from downward ramp, through triangle and to upwards ramp can easily be dialled in by using the shape knob for each LFO.
The key details of the LFOs are:
10HP Wide Eurorack module with thin profile (20mm deep from faceplate) Controls designed and laid-out with performance in mind 100% analogue circuitry 0.2Hz (5 seconds per cycle) to 9Hz low speed mode per LFO 9Hz to 700Hz high speed mode per LFO Saw / triangle, square and sine wave outputs Wave shaping enables a huge range of waveforms to be generated Diode protected power input 32ma @ +12v 30ma @ -12v"
"We haven't forgotten about our wavestate users 😉!
New bug fixes and performance improvements with Wavestate System Version 2.1.3 & Wavestate Editor Librarian Version 1.1.2 comin in hot 🔥
"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the GForce / Oberheim OB-E finds its inspiration in synthesizer music found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.
A bank comprised of 40 patches for instant inspiration. The goal was to highlight the raw analog tone and organic behavior of this instrument, primarily working within the constraints of the original Oberheim 8-Voice. This plug-in sounds fantastic. If you looking for the SEM sound, especially the polyphonic SEM sound, this is the only game in town without spending five figures.

After payment, you will receive the file in your email within 24 hours. Effects have also been programed for each patch, though they are saved in the "off" state. Recorded with no external processing - what you hear is all from the plug-in.
"Just messing around with a Kenton Pro Solo MK3 controlling a Yamaha CS-15. CS-15 is sequenced by the Akai MPC-X and drums are from the MPC as well. Other synths are X0xb0x (Roland TB-303 clone), Moog Source, Behringer 2600, Behringer Pro-1, and Studio Electronics Boomstar 5089 MK1."
