Summer Never Dies | Oberheim OB-6

video upload by hvegel

"Summer reminds me of running free. Trips to the beach. Walks through the woods. Hot and bustling trains full of excited children and tired parents. I was born in the cold, and enjoy Winter, supremely above all other seasons, yet the Summer, might be the most nostalgic."

See the announcement post here.

"We present Blue3 from Cherry Audio, a meticulous recreation of the legendary Hammond tonewheel organs, including the B-3, C-3, A-100, CV, M-3, and L-3 models. This instrument was originally developed by GG Audio, but was recently acquired by Cherry Audio, who have further developed it and released this latest version with a revamped interface and additional features.

"'SorrowPlantsMix' is a sample of the motif from my favorite album, IPPU-DO 'NightMirage' sampled with an AKAI MPC2000. I disassembled and regenerated it.
I used a CS-10 filter to add a lo-fi feel."

Cherry Audio Introduces Blue3 Organ

video upload by Cherry Audio

"Blue3 Organ painstakingly simulates every feature, circuit, and, more importantly, every source of imperfection to deliver its authentic sound. GG Audio's Blue3 garnered critical acclaim, and now, under the stewardship of Cherry Audio, Blue3 is back, better than ever, and costs only $49."

Cherry Audio | B3yond Preset Pack for Blue3 Organ

video upload by Cherry Audio

"B3yond Preset Pack for Blue3 Organ by James Dyson, featuring 100 more out-of-this-world presets that showcase how the Cherry Audio effects extend Blue3 beyond the typical tonewheel sound, and take advantage of splits, mod wheel, and aftertouch on compatible MIDI controllers."

via Cherry Audio

"GG Audio's Blue3 tonewheel organ is back, better, and more affordable, with a whole new look from Cherry Audio.

Blue3 is a meticulously modeled — not sampled — virtual instrument that replicates the most famous tonewheel organs in the world: the B-3, C-3, A-100, L-100, CV, and M-3 models. With 31 tonewheel sets accurately capturing variations between vintage instruments, 91 modeled tonewheels with phase synchronization, and authentically emulated scanner vibrato/chorus, Blue3 delivers the iconic, soulful sounds associated with nearly a century of blues, gospel, rock, and jazz classics.

Cherry Audio's Blue3 features a new, beautifully designed user interface with Main, Edit, Cabinet, and Perform sections. And it goes beyond the traditional B3 sound by adding three studio-quality stompbox-style effects: Tape Echo Delay, Reverb with Spring, Plate, and Hall, and a Seven-band Graphic EQ.

Blue3 offers full polyphony for upper, lower, and pedal manuals, a customizable keyboard split function, and handy drawbar utilities including Copy, Swap, Reset, and Randomize. Tones can be further refined with settings for condition, key click, percussion, and multiple overdrive options.

The Cabinet page provides six speaker options and adjustable rotary speed with acceleration and deceleration. The microphone simulation includes spread and distance controls, four mic selections, and click-and-drag placement in an updated UI.

With MIDI mapping and a rich library of over 200 presets covering classic to modern tones, Blue3 is the ultimate package for both stage and studio."

"DSI Sequential P12 Digital Analog Hybrid 12-voice Polyphonic Synthesizer in excellent condition as shown with original box. Restored to factory settings and latest OS firmware.

Best UI on a complex synth Ive ever used. Sounds fantastic, even compared to Rev2, OB-6, Prophet 08, P6 and P10 which I also owned. Dave's favorite (and mine too)! [see this post] I have the Prophet-12 module and decided to keep that and live without the incredible array of controls on the 61-key flagship."

Novation Supernova Mk1 SN 006725

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

via this listing

"Novation Supernova I, in excellent condition (apart from some marks on the body).

Perfectly functional and used to create sounds (it lends itself very well to editing and is also quite fast as an interface).

In fairness (unlike other people who would sell an instrument without saying anything: I have had several surprises, both from private individuals and dealers and this is absolutely not acceptable) I inform potential buyers that I had obtained this Supernova with a defect: some parameters tended to be displayed randomly on the display (it is a problem that has happened to someone who owns this model), so I replaced about 17 potentiometers and 6 multiplexers/Demultiplexers, also following advice from Focusrite/Novation itself, which I had contacted to get some advice.

Further clarification: only on the front panel board (the motherboard is perfect), there are slight marks (slight, don't start making up mental movies) in the points where instead of screws, Novation has placed nuts to then fix this board.

Also, I resoldered about 2mm of track relative to the central pin of the Attack potentiometer of the first envelope.

One of the buttons (perfectly working), exactly "Env 2" on the controls panel of the "Filter" section has a part of the membrane (internally, you can't see it from the outside) slightly damaged, so if you remove and insert the button cover (obviously if you try to remove the front panel board), the same button cover tends to remain in a non-perpendicular position.

But I repeat, everything works correctly."

SY-4X SyncussionExtended Plug-In VS SY-1 Hardware - Matching OSC2

video upload by Aly James

"In this video I try to match SY-4X module number: 4 internal OSC2 tuning offset to match the hardware on hand. In case you would ever need to do this which is unlikely, due to the nature of the Syncussion circuit many differences can be heard between hardware units themselves.

On the Syncussion the OSC2 frequency offset is set from factory but also affected by preset resistors (depending on Mode setting), SY-4X gives you options to tweak all that :)"
