"A more in depth look at the Envelope & VCA Section on Atlantix.

The Envelope and VCA are closely linked on Atlantix. This section of the module provides you tools for versatile shaping of synth sounds - often without the need for additional patching. That being said, the flexibility to patch out the envelope or route external sources through the VCA is also available to you. Matt runs us through the full list of features on this corner of Atlantix."

"the Oberheim, as brought to us by Tom and Dave, shifts in a near 180 from the direction of the Prophet. whereas the Prophet, feels like the hollows, mystical forests and abandoned hotels, the Oberheim, is the spellbound lighthouse, the edge of the ocean bluff, the lying wind whispering in your ear. in short, i would think to never part with either. they complete a sonic circle, that feels it mustn't be broken."

Parapolyparty - Retro Jam with DSI Pro-2 in paraphonic mode and Eurorack VCOs

video upload by thesrabbit

"Follow-up to my demo/tutorial video on setting up a paraphonic patch on the DSI Pro-2, supplementing each of its four digital oscillators with Eurorack VCOs.

I had to do something fun with it besides a basic demo, and the 2 oscillators per note/voice gave the "Filter 1" patch from the previous video some serious 80's analog poly vibes. I shortened the decay and release envelope times to make it punchier. This jam is the natural result of dialing in that sound. I bleed the 80's, haha.

Instruments:
Dave Smith Instruments Pro-2 (main synth)
Oberheim OB-X8 (octave down bass)
Roland JX-3P (sprinkles of majesty)
G-Force Software Oberheim DMX (drums)
Alesis Midiverb II (Gated reverb on snare, bloom reverb on toms)

Modules: Roland System-500 512 VCOs, 530 VCAs, 540 Envelopes, Wavefonix Dual CEM 3340, Doeper dual envelopes, Arcus Audio dual VCA, Pittsburgh Modular Giraffe, Doepfer VCA, Happy Nerding FX Aid Pro (for additional majestic reverb for the majesty)

Completely Overhauled Original Lyricon Wind Synthesizer

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

via this listing

"classic, early 1970s Lyricon I analog wind synthesizer made by Computone, in the USA.

It was completely overhauled ($850) less than two years ago and everything works perfectly.

This is an analog synth that is keyed for sax, clarinet, and flute players, offering an extra set of sound dynamics through the mouthpiece.

You do need to experiment with the controls; the manual explains how to get started, and then you have a wide range of analog controls to work through to create sounds. There is no storage of sounds.

Comes as pictured, including a photocopy of the manual, original document, and an original magazine advertisement."

The Human Comparator 73-75 Serge Homebuilt w/ Custom Expander

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

via this listing

"This instrument is tons of fun, and also is a seriously customised build. I bought this kit years ago and have been slowly assembling it. It works in full, and unlike many specimen out there, is very compact while being equipped with a spring reverb tank. I recorded two albums on it in its unfinished state, then had it dust up for a bit, but now it's fully finished.

It received the following customisations:

A halfpanel expander (the black strip) has a DC offset generator, noise source, inverter and an output summator - 3.5mm mono output on the right side. This expander implements some functions that are not there or will save you an entire voltage processor half.
As a finishing touch, there's a fully powered breadboard for you to try out some stuff on. It has +-12v and ground broken out to it, so active circuitry is a possibility.
I built a custom linear power supply for it - its regulators are short-circuit protected, so the breadboard is somewhat foolproof.
There's a long ass bank of decoupling capacitors on the lower panel, ensuring smooth and quiet operation. So far it has been remarkably fine, and has greatly reduced the voltage processor bleedthrough that many people on the 73-75 group have experienced.
The reverb and preamp circuits have been replaced by entirely custom circuitry attached to the upper panel; the original ones were too noisy for my liking.
The jack color scheme is a standard Serge one instead of the THC-proposed faded old-styler colouring
The 3.5mm~banana converter banana jacks output ground if the 3.5mm part is not used, making them ground references.
Will ship more or less anywhere via Estonian standard post double-boxed and with tons of filler; other carriers = add'l cash. I will throw in some shorter banana cables, too. This unit runs on 15v AC (not DC!) - i can help figuring out a suitable brick for you to buy in place, as mine is european standard and my only one, so i'd like to keep it.

My camera is not of best quality, so a hi-res reference can be found on the kit producer's website (73-75.com) to see which exact modules are there."

One of my favorite tracks from the late 60s.
Nights In White Satin by The Moody Blues from the year 1967
written and composed by Justin Hayward

Featured the Roland M-VS1 module (Mellotron strings and choir sound) and the Oberheim Xk masterkeyboard controller

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.
Check out the original songs with the original artists here on YouTube.
Thank you."
