Oberheim OB-X8 Just Sounds Alive!


video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

A Demo of one of the pads in the Forthcoming OB-X8 Pack Explorations Vol.2 - Pad Name - SM Glorious (for obvious rasons)

The OB-X8 is one of the most (if not THE most) alive synths on the current market today, it absolutely shines at so many things, but Pads it is an absolute dream!

I thought I would share this with you. For me it has that perfect sizzle OB are famous for and just breathes when the cutoff filter & resonance are adjusted.

Enjoy!

Thanks to Synth Overlays for sending over the Desktop Overlay for the OB-X8m, I have had their OG Blue Striped overlay on my synth for a couple of years, great quality and great company to deal with. (they ship world wide from UK) many various overlays available here - https://www.synthoverlays.com/

"Dynacord ADD-one + ADD-drive, Dynacord’s dynamic sampling duo! This combo makes for an incredibly powerful hardware synth/sampler with unparalleled capabilities for its time.


NOTE: Other recent listings only include the ADD-one, but if you are reading this you probably know that the increasing hard to find ADD-drive unit is essential if you want to be able to sample your own sounds.

So if you have been looking for a complete ADD-one/ADD-drive don’t sleep on this rare opportunity!

These two specific units were purchased in 2016 from Wavemeister AUT (receipt available on request). Both units are in incredible cosmetic condition for their age and are working as they should. Used in a smoke free, climate controlled studio and never gigged. The build quality on both units is top notch and all knobs and buttons feel great. ADD-one’s display is original, but it is bright and easy to read (see pics), although not from all angles, but this was never the case even when new. Serviced by Audio Rehab, CA (Greg Granieri) in 2019 (receipt available on request). All contacts, pots, jacks and switches were cleaned. And all 23 button contacts have recently been re-cleaned and are working as they should.

There is a very slight whine sound when powered up which can be heard at the outputs. I am no expert, but it’s possible this could be resolved by replacing the capacitors in the power supply. It has never bothered me enough to address so I will let the next owner decide if they feel this is necessary.

The ADD-one is running firmware v2.22 and passes all diagnostic tests and sounds fantastic (see video link below).

There are a few, very minor blemishes and scuffs on both units, with one small dent on the top panel of the ADD-one (see pic), and some erosion on the top edge of the left rack ear of the ADD-drive (see pic). However the front panels are mostly pristine, with only one tiny, tiny mark on the ADD-one visible (see pic), and some wear to “Dynacord” text on ADD-drive (see pic). Very, light rack rash on both units (I hit Reverb’s image limit but additional pics available on request).

Wersi Wersimatic CX2 Proto-Groovebox from 1984

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


via this listing

The CX2 is a stereo, proto-groovebox that is part warm analog synth, part organ, part crunchy, punchy 12-bit sampled drums, all user programable with analog effects and auto-accompaniment. Not bad for 1984!!

Listing Includes:

Wersimatic CX2
Printed manual/assembly guide
Printed “Technical Document” (German)
User “Cheat-Sheet”
New CR2032 Battery

The CX2’s drum machine section consists of 54 preset rhytms, but it is also possible to compose your own rhytms by using its composer (static/real time composing) and the 20 different drum sounds available, plus it also has programable accents.

The accompaniment section has a bass (guitar, synth, tuba), chord (e-piano, guitar, wah guitar, strings, organ), and arpeggio section (brass, clarinet, banjo, bells, strings) which can be played solo or combined. When the drumsection plays the accompaniment section can be triggered and transposed via the 29 key keyboard. And best of all, you can also make your own custom bass, chords, and arpeggio patterns!

"Part of our 'We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat' Summer Sale

Not one but Two Classic MFB Drum machines. One remake of Two other Classics (MFB 501 ànd MFB Kult), so really Three! And the Kult has consists of (great, not-hi-fi) samples of yet more MFB boxes, so really, I don't know, Seven? MFB Drum Machines for the price of One. And A Half! Both are fully functional and come with a non-original Euro PSU (except the 712 comes with the original as well) and no the non-descript original boxes MFB are so well-known and loved for. Because those were saying something, those anonymous boxes, they were. "We are not about looks*. We are about Sounds." Maybe. Sadly, we can't ask the original madman who invented these and many more fantastic boxes that came in non-descript white boxes. RIP, MF, and my heartfelt gratitude for all those B(erlin) boxes."

Elektron Digitakt 2 birthday jam


video upload by Bobo Meijer

"Fun little jam on the Digitakt 2 which is an amazing groovebox/sampler that I feel can do almost anything. Besides it’s not a synths and I tend to lean towards liking using synths more than samplers but this one is almost like something in between. Love it 😄

Today is my birthday so what better to do than to jam on the Digitakt 2? 😁"

The Champ Hath Arriv'd // Making House Music with Medieval samples ONLY!


video upload by Ricky Tinez

"I gave myself the challenge to make house music using ONLY the samples that come loaded onto the Teenage Engineering EP-1320 Medieval. And yes it was a... challenge, but I made it work! and ended up being pretty cool. My main thoughts about the Medieval is that you're buying an awesome sounding sample pack, that happens to come with a cool sampler haha."

behind the scenes: the EP–1320 launch at visby's medieval week

video upload by teenage engineering

"introducing the world's first medieval electronic instrument, EP–1320. the film was shot against the emerald backdrops of gotland; sweden's largest island known for its magical nature, and medieval history.

the famed medieval week in gotland is a remarkable, eight-day pageantry and celebration of the island’s medieval history. the festival also celebrated its 40th anniversary this year, marking it as the largest historical festival in swedish history. more than just a festival, medieval week is a study of history, a retrospective where people can revisit the relics of the past that are found everywhere."

A Bit More - starting to come together


video upload by Craig Barnes

"This is my 8 voice bi-timbral poly synth based loosely on the Crumar Bit series of polysynths. The 8 DCOs are sent note on/off messages over midi on individual midi channels from the controller board. Common commands for octave shift etc are send on channels 1 & 2 for each half of the synth.Just testing the polyphonic control for Poly 1, 2, solo and unison."
