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

I know many of you are curious to how much the TEO-5 sounds like it's counterparts the OB-X8 & OB-6.

In this video, I set out to recreate the very first patch I designed on the OB-X8 two years ago. [below]

The TEO-5 gets very close, it has 100% got that OB goodness!

Not only priced at entry level for Oberheim but packed full of features!"

"Very Brief to let everyone considering this synth and wondering how big it can sound. This is a very quickly thrown together Fast Attack Pad sound. Some PWM, Slight Pitch Mod on One osc, and a touch of Strymon Big Sky for Verb. Opening up the Filter on this beast just has me in awe!

Custom Patches including this one, are available on my website https://www.orano.co.uk/shop"

Roland TB-303 and TR-606 | Short demo tracks that should not be heard

video upload by MIDERA

"So, these are not mine - I purchased them for a friend (with their own money) and will ship these out to them when I can. They let me hang onto them for a while to play them. And I did. And obviously, you will hear that I am not good with them. Anyone who can make awesome music with just these two instruments must be very good. I just didn't do them justice, and I intend to never do them justice because I just don't have the kind of time needed to do it properly. So thankfully I get to ship them out.

You probably shouldn't really listen... I don't think I'll come back to these little patterns ever again. And yes - I wrote them myself, which isn't saying much.

"I'm back from Knobcon and inspired to do a little improv with some tiny synths. I used the Tele Blender from Error Instruments, MoPho from Dave Smith Instruments, Volca Beats/Bass/Mix from KORG, Boeska Mix-400, and the Boss RE-202 Space Echo. I even threw in a guitar played with E-Bow for good measure.

Intellijel Atlantix Demo: An SH-101 with bells on

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Here's a demo of the Intellijel Atlantix, a complete 101-inspired eurorack modular voice, plus its optional expander, the Atlx. I'll rapidly explain the main features and differences between this and Atlantis, and then explore it musically in a series of acid jams, sequenced by Metropolix (and Z8000), Sealegs for Atlantix reverb and delay, and more.

Tiptop Z8000 is used to transpose Metropolix, and I'm making use of Metropolixes dual outputs to sequence Atlantix and Intellijel's standalone Cascadia at once. Intellijel Sealegs provides dedicated reverb and delay on Atlantix. ALM Cizzle is used at certain points for creating chord sounds, fed into one of the Aux inputs of Atlantix.

Drums are mainly System 80 880 (another Canadian classic), running in serial through two DIYRE Colour Palette 15ips cards for warmth and compression, plus Roland TR8, and the Atlantix sound samples I made, running in the Soundforce Samples II module. Effects are the Alesis Quadraverb on Cascadia, H3000 doing some occasional weird pitchshifty zingy sounds, and Alesis Microverb II on stereo with of the kraftwerk zaps. Desk is a Midas Venice 320!

Intellijel hired me to make a demo of Atlantix - thanks to Intellijel for both giving me the opportunity to show off another wicked module, and for supporting the channel 🙌"

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

via this listing

"This synth has been fully serviced and upgraded, making it IMO the best and most musically usable Quadra you'll likely ever come across. Modifications installed are the Synthchaser Quadra MIDI kit (very few of these kits in existence, I believe there were only around 20 of them made/sold, and it is no longer available), the Synthchaser Quadra LED slider upgrade kit, as well as a custom modification which routes the external audio input through the Quadra's glorious stereo phase-shifter effect (normally the external input is simply there to mix in an external audio source, and isn't routed through any of the Quadra's processing signal path). For info on the Synthchaser kits, you can read up on them and watch video demos via their website: synthchaser [dot] com.

Additional notes:
(1) the Midi Out can alternately be switched to Midi Thru, via a switch on the board.
(2) I also had my tech install an on/off switch for the LED lights on the sliders, as seen in photo#9, under the "la tosca INC" sticker.

This thing sounds absolutely glorious, and everything, including keyboard aftertouch, is working perfectly. It was fully serviced at the same time as the Synthchaser kits were installed."

Waldorf 2-Pole Analog Filter

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

via this listing

"From Waldorf:

'For some decades now, analog filters have had a deep impact on contemporary music. Since its very beginnings, Waldorf has been renowned for the quality of their excellent sounding analog filters.

Whether these were integrated in stand alone units, such as the 4-Pole, X-Pole or the AFB16, which enabled the world’s first analog plug-Ins, or were found inside our synthesizers such as the Wave, the Q+ or the Pulse – Waldorf filters have influenced the world’s sound for over two decades.

As a logical consequence, our exclusive analog filter technology is now available in this novel square box (unexpectedly matching the Rocket synthesizer). 2-Pole is giving the guitar player, the DJ, or the keyboard player access to the heart of the Waldorf sound – with an inspiring user interface with a one knob/one function philosophy. Spice up your live performances with dramatic filter sweeps that really cut through. Funk up your guitar licks by hooking a pedal controller to 2-Poles’ cutoff CV In or using the integrated envelope follower. Animate your pad sounds using 2-Pole’s LFO. But beware – no matter what you do with this tiny black box, make sure you set the levels to your amplifiers and speakers correctly, as 2-Pole is yet another beast from Waldorf – with love!'"

Eko Rhythmaker (Italy, 1970) vintage analog drum machine

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

via this listing

"The drum machine is fully working and in excellent cosmetical condition for its age.

It has 16 types of rhythms that can be combined (maximum of 2 together at a time):

• March • Fox Trot • Shuffle • Jazz • Swing • Tango • Waltz • Western • Slow Rock • Rock'n Roll • Bossa Nova • Samba • Mambo • Cha-Cha • Beguine • Rumba

The front panel includes 3 controls: Volume, Sustain and Tempo Speed.

The “Sustain” knob is one of the 'mysteries' of all Eko Rhythmakers as it almost never makes any changes. We have sold several Rhythmakers over the years and the “Sustain” has never worked or made any changes to the various sounds.

In fact, if we check the Rhythmaker diagrams and calculate the sustain time, in the best scenario, the result could be a maximum of 0.8 sec, therefore completely imperceptible to human ears. If we then consider the components of the epoch, perhaps it is even less than 0.8 sec. So in none of the Eko Rhythmakers does the “Sustain” knob work because is practically imperceptible.

The 'Selector' section is practically an integrated mixer that allows you to adjust the volume of the individual parts/sounds of the rhythm. Very cool!

On the back there are:

• FOOT SWITCH: Works perfectly with any switch pedal (not included in the sale)

• HIGH IMP OUTPUT

• LOW IMP OUTPUT

Inside the drum machine there are some trimmers: they can modify the sound of the individual instruments (intonation, etc.) to your own taste and liking.

True collector's item: it’s a simple and great drum machine with a very rich sound, especially with a nice tape delay and reverb added.

Eko was the Italian brand that produced many legendary instruments. The Company was based in Recanati (Marche, Italy), in the same area where Elka, Elgam, Farfisa, Crumar, Jen, Siel, Solton, CRB, etc. were born."

sighting rock 1 - ambient jam with the sonicware liven series texture lab and ambient zero

video upload by Matt Webb

"I used the Sonicware Liven Ambient Zero to develop an ambient sequence, which I then ran through the Texture Lab's EFX mode to take advantage of the granular engine. I adjusted grain size and density as well as timing, and made use of the tape echo delay while the sequence was playing. I added some drone notes throughout as it felt necessary. As you can tell from the clipping at the beginning, I did not edit or add any new effects to the audio (which was recorded simultaneously using Audacity)."

We prepared four tracks in Live to record various synth parts in a live session. We’re setting up all Mono Lancet ’15 sounds on the fly and continuously change parameters on meloDICER for generating different patterns for each track.

All the effects that you hear come directly from Live (delays with a little bit of reverb). The meloDICER is synced through the MEX3 companion module via MIDI clock to Live.

We recommend the use of headphones or good speakers for the full sound experience"

Instruō - cèis [2] Overview

video upload by Instruō

"The Instruō cèis[2] is a fully analogue voltage controlled ADSR envelope generator. The ADSR function generator is the model pioneered by the East-coast mindset and is extensively used in subtractive synthesis patches. The cèis[2] gives the ability to externally control the attack, decay, sustain, and release stages of the envelope while also emitting trigger and gate signals for each segment, offering maximum versatility from a classic tool.
This version [2] revision brings additional flexibility and control through a completely redesigned logic extraction circuit for the segment gates, envelope re-trigger input, and a precision throughput for voltage controlled slew limiter capabilities.

• LED button for manual control and indication of output CV level
• Fader and CV control over all 4 segments
• Gate output per segment
• Fader LED for segment stage indication
• Gate/Trig modes which can force completion of the Attack duration when triggered
• Hold mode for sustain segment lock for CV slew use
• Combined trigger output which fires when there is a change in segment
• Variable envelope response shape from linear to exponential
