BOSS CE-2w vs TC.Electronics SCF Gold+ deeper Review (JX-8P+3P, Argon8X, Drumbrute & Zarenbourg)

video upload by Knobs & Switches

"Here is my personal comparison between the Boss CE-2w and the TC.Electronics SCF Gold+ with a little help of my Roland JX-8P and 3P, Modal Electronics Argon8X, Arturia Drumbrute Impact, and a Waldorf Zarenbourg Desktop Module. Other supporting roles were played by Korg KR-55, Chase Bliss Generation Loss MkII, OBNE Rever and a Korg Drumlogue. Wait for the Outro, when the Chase Bliss meets Supertramp."

Sunrise ft. Korg PS-3300 by Jay Wires

"This piece is based around an evolving sequence I made on an early Korg PS-3300 synthesizer. I programmed the rest of the sounds from scratch on Apple Logic Pro X soft synths. It's my sonic interpretation of the sunrise. Does it sound like that to you?

Behringer EDGE - Making Beats From Another Galaxy

"Suggested retail price is 199 USD"

The EDGE was announced back in October of 2021.

Update:

Behringer EDGE Review, Demo and 'How To' Tutorial

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Behringer EDGE is here and it's much easier than it might appear. DEAD EASY!! ;) Just follow this and you'll be up and running in no time. It's essentially a 2 osc synth with a 2 channel sequencer all tuned to make percussive sounds. As every sequence is based on the same patch... with control over the few parameters at the same time it always seems to gel into an awesome beat.

some samples will be available soon at

Mayer MD900 - THE Monster Four Part VA Synthesizer - Sonic LAB Review By MATTHS

video upload by sonicstate

"We first saw the impressive Mayer MD900 at Superbooth a couple of years back, it seemed inconceivable that it was created by such a small team and yet aimed high in terms of features.

It's now out in the world and ready to ship, although yes, it's a chunk of change at £2,958.00, and as they are a small outfit, stock is limited.

But if you do get your hands on one, you'll be able to enjoy an extended Virtual Analogue synth with 16 voices, four parts each with VA modeled oscillators, wavetable, sample playback, drum sequencing and more.

Everything is modeled in DSP and does a pretty good job of it, according to @matthsmatthsmatths who is taking a look at it for us.

Bad Gear - Oberheim Matrix-1000

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Oberheim Matrix 1000. Is this 80s analog synth in the compact 19" rack format and little sibling of the Oberheim Matrix-6 on par with timeless classics like the Oberheim OB-X. Are you willing to enter the matrix of arcane sysex midi commands?

Custom Nord Lead 2X Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"'What is this thing?' you may be asking. I'm glad you asked!

Tl;dr version: it's a perfectly-functional Nord Lead 2x that has, well, seen some shit.

Longer version: Somebody (not me) once decided to "refinish" their Nord Lead 2x. They did a fairly tragic job of it (see last photo for what it looked like when I got it). I bought the synth from them, stripped the "new" paint job, hammered out some dents, designed, printed, and applied new panel labels, sprayed on some clear-coat protectant, reinforced the mod wheel, replaced the broken button, bought and installed a new set of OEM Clavia knobs, and the result is what you see here.

This synthesizer works perfectly and sounds as Nordy as you would expect. It also has some cool patches installed from the "Ambika" aftermarket sound set that I purchased. Visually, you can see from the photos that its aesthetic is now best described as, hmm, "rough-and-ready"? It has a, uh, unique visual flavor. But hey, maybe you like it. I do. I just don't have room for it and it's not getting much use.

I'm selling this as-is, given the difficult life this synthesizer has lived. I wouldn't necessarily consider it a road horse anymore, given that I can't vouch for what happened to it before I got it—IMO it has already survived a lot and deserves a nice quiet life in a studio—but ymmv.

I think this narrative explains why this is such a low price for a fully-functional Nord Lead 2x (check listings elsewhere on here for comparison) so please don't lowball me!"

Ambient performance with Ableton Push 3 (Pigments, Bioscape)

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"This ambient performance was recorded with a simple FM patch in Arturia Pigments. I used the MPE mode of Push3 to play it dynamically while the aftertouch controlled the FM depth of the patch. Horizontal slide controls the pitch but unfortunately I could not figure out how to assign vertical slide to any parameter in Pigments. Please let me know if you have an idea!
