Modular Panning with Sequencer and LFO
video upload by George B.
"Use promo code BENTON10 for a 10% discount code. This is limited to one time use per customer and capped at $500.00. So if you spend 5k you get $500 off. If you spend 6k they get $500 off. There is no minimum purchase amount - get what you need - but it makes sense to make your one time purchase with code BENTON10 count.
Using a sequencer row as a control voltage to control panning. Also panning with an LFO. Adding two pan channels, LFO driven and Sequencer driven makes a beautiful stereo effect.
Modules used
Voice one - 2) Q106 Oscillators, Q107a Filter, Q109a ADSR, Q960 Sequencer
Voice two - Q106a Oscillator, Q107a Filter Q109a ADSR, Q119a Sequencer, Q173 Gate Math
Voice three - 2) Q106 Osc, Q107a Filter, Q157 S&H++ for LFO (Bass Drone)
Q156 Comparator used for LFO in panning.
Q148 and Q158 both for panning."

LFO Mod Magic, Make better sounds now!
video upload by Ricky Tinez
In this LFO Deep Dive we'll explore the world of synthesis modulation using the Novation Peak, though this can be done on most synths especially VSTs. We'll take 2 LFOs to modulate one another and then add some key tracking to take things to the next level. These synth tips are such fun and easy tools to have in your back pocket when you want to spice up your sound. I really hope you learn something here! Take care."

"Tested in great working condition, super fun sequencer! Includes AC power supply.
Noodlebox is a four part sequencer for making electronic music. It has analog CV/Gate outputs for each part and supports MIDI.
There are independent sequencer layers, each with a CV/Gate output. Each layer runs separately to the others (although staying in sync) and has its own step count, clock division etc.
Each layer has four pages of up to 32 steps each. Pages can be used for A/B/C/D type pattern variations, for verse/chorus type song sections or chained to make a single pattern of up to 128 steps. You can cue up lists of pages for automatic cycling (up to 32 pages). Arranging pages is designed to be quick and easy to do creatively in a live setting.

1985 Sequential Circuits TOM 4-Voice Drum Machine

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings
"Fantastic working unit, fully serviced by our in-house technician. Recapped, all buttons cleaned and rebuilt external power supply. Fully functional.
In 1985, the TOM was a really advanced drum machine, fully programmable and featuring digitally recorded drum sounds. It is similar to the DrumTraks, but much more advanced. Its sound fidelity is very electronic and it offers just eight of the most basic drum kit sounds. However, each drum sound has a much more flexible tune control than any other drum machine of its time, allowing you to change cymbals into gongs, for example. All sounds can also be layered, allowing for chord-like drum tones, tom rolls and all kinds of wacky sounds. You can also play its sounds in reverse and program the pan position and volume of each sound. Sounds on EPROM cartridges can add up to eight additional drum tones for different sounds. This machine is also MIDI equipped, able to transmit and receive all of its controller information including volume and tuning."

Fragile 🍃 (Roland TR-6S Rhythm Performer // S-1 Tweak Synth // J-6 Chord Synth)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"Here's a 2x 2-Minute jam featuring 3 little boxes from Roland: the TR-6S (Drums), the S-1 (Bass and Arp) and the J-6 (Pads) 🐺
I've recorded a few patterns of each of the 3 instruments which are being chained up live in this jam.
On the DRUMS side played by the TR6S, there is quite a lot going on: I mainly used the Analog Circuit Behavior and FM Engines for the drum sounds. I used a few of the real time performance tools available: STEP LOOP, FILL IN, MASTER FX (Fuzz). I also took advantage of the polymectri capabilities of the sequencer, where the KICK's sequence length is different from the rest of the pattern (on the first part, it's a 6-step sequence playing, and on the last part, a 5-step sequence 😉).
For the BASS & ARP parts, I used the S1 (which fortunately is polyphonic 😃). I also played with its integrated 'Riser' effect for the transitions.
I recorded 3 patterns on the J-6, among which the last one is being syncopated thanks its 'phrase type' feature (a bit like an arpeggiator effect). The J-6 is being synced to the S-1 by their analog clocks (through the translucent cable, where you can see a little red LED lightening up with each clock pulse coming into the J-6)."

"For this piece, named "Cooldown", I brought out my UDO Super 6 and paired it up with my Boss Reverb RV-6 for some reverb. Everything then goes through the Elektron Syntakt, which in turn sens everything to the Elektron Analog Heat +FX. What you hear is recorded directly from the Analog Heat +FX without any post-processing applied."
