"The Prophet 600 is a good synthesizer, but with the GliGli CPU upgrade installed it becomes a great synthesizer! One of the best vintage synth values out there today.
This Prophet 600 is in good working order and has been upgraded with the GliGli mod running the 2.0992 firmware revision (GliGli's final version), a new membrane panel, a new set of Synthchaser key contacts, and a new set of knobs. All 6 voices are tuning, scaling and sounding great.
Very good physical condition, some wear/chips on the side panels (see photos)."

"Amazing rare japanese drum module with 6 voices of (I’d say “CR-sounding” smooth / tight) analog drums. Eurorack friendly triggers (⅛” input jacks even!). Check YouTube for sound examples. Fully functional, in great shape. Includes power adapter.
Quote from MATRIXSYNTH (posted here): 'Very cool 6 channel Japanese analogue drum synth - controls for Volume, Attack (Snappy for snare) and Pitch (Decay on hats), Input Sensitivity. Capable of some pretty decent drum sounds - especially if you drive it with another drum machine and turn up the Sensitivity - overloads the signal and the source sound can bleed through adding extra dirt and colour.'"

Sound Demo Yamaha CS1X Performance Synthesizer. 1996 proto-Virtual analog that saw the future.
video upload by Ted murena
"The Yamaha CSX1 [CS1X] cost about 600 dollars in the mid nineties. Almost three months of my car payment back then. But it was an interesting synth that foresaw the virtual analog craze that took hold a few years later. As an instrument its use of arpeggios and realtime controls made it a really cool device in a world of rompers and General MIDI. Yes this is sample based synth and yes it does have general Midi"

MEGA MILTON MEGA TIPS
video upload by ALM TV
"The 'MEGA MILTON' is a smorgasbord of handy all analog utilities in just 8HP that will greatly extend the functionality of your Eurorack system. It includes a stereo line input converter, fixed 4 input mixer with breakout attenuator, gated slew limiter, sample and hold with analog white noise, and a buffered mult with handy LEDs to monitor signals.
In this video we take a deeper look at some of the more creative and interesting ways the sections of the MEGA MILTON can be used, including as a ring mod style effect, sample rate reduction, logic rhythms, distortion, feedback and more!"

Shifted WG
video upload by Christophe Duquesne
"This is a demonstration of a work in progress of sound design for the incoming version of the Eagan Matrix firmware for the Continuums and the Osmose.
Technically speaking, this preset is a waveguide with a pitch shifter in its feedback look ... absolutely not conventional, but really fun.
The audio is direct from the Continuum without any additional effect.
And, as you can see, I was in a mood of having fun with the video effects ;-)"
L-1 Synthesizer plays 'Mysterious Galaxy'.
video upload by Aleksei Laman
"This video I made mostly as a demo for L-1 Triple Discrete Midside/Stereo Equalizer/Resonator, L-1 Discrete Midside Microcopressor, L-1 Stereo Clipper.
This Combo: Midside Compressor - Midside EQ - Clipper, provides full control over dynamic, frequencies and loudness - separate for middle and sides. I used it at the master output of the whole mix, and at every instrument I played and sampled. If I had more expirience in making tracks and better studio, I would record better.
I had only two cases, limited quantity of the modules and cables. So I preliminary sampled instruments. Only the bass synth and the Vocoder go live from the modules. Others - from samples.
Drums - 909 kit from Ableton.
Chord instruments - acoustic piano in the break, and background organ were sampled from Korg TR.
Other instruments were sampled from the modules.
Samples played from Ableton. Then mixed in the Stereo Mixer, then to the Midside Compressor, then to the Midside EQ, then to the Clipper, then to record in Soundforge."
Kaivo: Output Overview
video upload by Madrona Labs
"Overview of Kaivo's Output Module
Kaivo is a software instrument combining two powerful synthesis techniques (physical modeling and granular synthesis) in an easy-to-use semi-modular package. It’s laid out a bit like an acoustic instrument; the GRANULATOR module acts like the player’s touch, exciting one or more tuned objects (here, the RESONATOR module, based on physical models of resonant objects) that come together in a central resonating body (the BODY module, also physics-based)."
