video upload by NOISEBUG

"This is the Liquid Sky D-Vices V4CO, a truly crazy sounding 8-bit dual wavetable oscillator.

dual 8 bit wavetable oscillator, each with separate subbass
- hard sync
- 16 x 16 x 4 Waveforms - different for each OSC
- Each module has a base (16 x 6) set and the rest is an uUNIQUE set of waveforms
- Single outputs for each OSC / SUBOSC and mix output (w/o SUBOSC)
- Analog VCA for each oscillator
- Analog overdrive controllable via VCA
- Audio / LFO Mode for each OSC
- Waveform shuffle
- REAL 8 BIT Sound
- Detuning Function
- 8 Oktaven
- incl. Quantizer (Chromatic)
- complex Waveform-LFO

V4CO is a bad ass unique 8bit wavetable oscillator plus subbass plus overdrive plus vca
The Glitch expander, or Glithc Expender eneables:
MIDI implementation:
Switching the waves/banks
Switching the modes for LFO, TRP and V/OKT
MIDI notes, pitch bend and vibrato on CC1
Random selection of two wavetables from the active bank.
The MIDI interface is placed on GLITHc and works exclusively with
the V4CO"

Wine Country Sequential Is Winding Down

This the end of an era. Wine Country Sequential was formed by ex Sequential Circuits employees when the original Sequential Circuits went under. They specialized in servicing and providing parts for vintage Sequential Circuits synths. I actually own a Wine Country "Perfect Prophet-5" myself.

via Wine Country Sequential:

"The Long & Winding Road Ends..Soon

It's been 46 years since musicians experienced the polyphonic sounds of a Prophet-5, and 41 years since the Prophet 600 introduced MIDI to the world. Sequential Circuits Prophets have made significant contributions to music, film, & theatre for decades. Since 1987 keeping the Prophet sound alive has always been the goal of Wine Country Sequential, and it's been a long and interesting ride. The ride is now over, Wine Country Sequential repair services for Sequential Circuits Prophets ended in December 2023. However, Wine Country Sequential remains open for business as the liquidation of original Sequential Circuits parts & manuals in order to help vintage Prophets survive in the decades to come.

Liquidation of Sequential Circuits parts, manuals & archival documentation continues. Original Operation & Technical Manuals, Printed Circuit Boards, custom IC's, sound programs, Diagnostic ROMs and various other parts are available for most Sequential Circuits instruments. Wine Country Sequential will remain open for business in 2024 until the parts are gone.

Visit WineCountrySequential.com and SequentialCircuits.com for updates reflecting current availability of parts as the liquidation continues.

The Last Restored & Warranted Prophet 600 for sale by Wine Country with a 30 Day Parts & Labor Warranty is currently posted on SequentialCircuits.com at https://sequentialcircuits.com/prophet600forsale.html

Coming soon to SequentialCircuits.com is a Collector's Corner page offering original manuals, memorabilia, brochures, and even complete original engineering fabrication drawing packages for Sequential Circuits Prophets, drum machines, & other synths.

Thank you for your previous interest, and best of luck with your music.

Kind regards from California,

Bach Prelude and Fugue in C Minor (Book 1) - Julian "J3PO" Pollack - Oberheim OB-X8

video upload by J3PO

"I love Bach and I love synths. The C minor prelude and fugue from Book 1 of J.S. Bach's 48 Preludes and Fugues is a standard for keyboardists, and is a lot of fun to play. In this video, I perform the piece on an Oberheim OB-X8, with original presets designed by myself. If you dig this, check out my performance of Bach's Prelude and Fugue in C sharp Major (Book 1), performed on a Prophet 10: [posted here]"

Making a paraphonic sequence using the SEM filter on the #sequential Pro 3

video upload by The Usual

"The best parts of the Pro 3 synthesizer are the ridiculous sequencer, and also that it has a SEM filter on board. Here I'm using both."

Korg 800DV/Maxikorg K2 Tuning Issues on both upper and lower voice

video upload by ltpstan

"Documenting same tuning issues with the 800DV. I believe there are not many videos on the internet demostrating the issues on the 800DV.

Here, I demonstrate some tuning issues with the 800DV. Symptoms:
Upper Voice has tuning issues on the lower register of the keyboard while on the upper register, the tuning is stable.

Lower Voice has tuning issues on the upper register of the keyboard while on the lower register, the tuning is stable.

If anyone has any experience with this issue, do let me know in the comments below."

XAOC Leibniz Binary Subsystem | Episode 01 | Intro & Drezno II

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"My first ignorant impression was 'it's a fancy bitcrusher' which may be 10% right. It's about musical applications with binary logic. Thanks to Bries and Tom Churchil for their masterclasses so I may be able to figure out the other 90%.

As always, I am not sponsored by XAOC. I wish, but it's too late now. I have Lipsk in backorder and that will probably conclude my case.

Dear XAOC if you feel thankful while this series progresses, I still have a short wishlist like Odessa, Batumi, Samara, Belgrad and a mixer. But I am already happy you made these modules!"

THE SOLTON DISCO 64

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"On a sunny afternoon a few years ago we hooked up the Solton Disco 64 to make a co-hesive demonstration of its capabilities just to see the machine literally start smoking due to burned transistors.

The attempt was aborted and it's not until now that we've managed to get the machine fixed so we can give it a second try.

Boy this thing is as rare as it is cool - complete with SSM filters it's the predecessor to the more famous and common Solton Programmer 24.

This is not really a disco machine per se - it has 4 Disco rhythm patterns on board indeed but Waltz, Bossa Nova and all the standard rhythm patterns of most drum machines of the era.

Quite a few machines featured Disco in their names for no other reason than the hype and coolness of the genre at the time of production.

The Disco 64 has more features than most auto-accompaniment units: there's the chords section, a string machine, a monophonic bass synth with individual volumes for each section, mute options, 4 bass line variations, cut-off and resonance filter, different chord sounds and of course an analog drum machine with individual sound mute options. You can play the string machine and bass synth like a keyboard, independently from the auto comp section so it's a monophonic and polyphonic synth as well as an auto accompaniment unit.

Apart from separate outputs for the drums and auto comp section, this one came modded with a separate output for the string machine, very useful for running it through effects."
