Oberheim OB-X8 main synth parts of Sweet Dreams
video upload by Synthratix
"Hello. This time I am putting out a HQ audio of my Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams interpretation. The sounds were recreated on my Oberheim OB-X8 by myself by ear listening to the original that was played on an Oberheim OBX in 1983."

The synth sounds even more powerful when using the double mode where two sounds are stacked one upon the other."

"Introducing Mousse: a dual desktop modular groovebox.
Two complex modulation sources, two sequencers, two envelope generators, two hybrid voices."
Dyad – Twin Percussion Synth & Sequencer
video upload by Fors
"Dyad is a two-voice percussion synthesizer and sequencer inspired by the grit and immediacy of analog hardware. Each voice is paired with a sequencer that programs both rhythms and parameter modulation, becoming an integral part of sound creation.
Dyad also comes bundled with four extra devices each based on our favorite parts; a classic monosynth, a drum synth, a step-modulator and a distortion effect.
We're also releasing a free delay effect, celebrating our four year anniversary of Fors.
Check it out here: https://fors.fm/retur
All sounds and effects in this video are only made with the Dyad pack of devices and the Retur delay effect."
SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET 600 GLIGLI DEMO
video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics
"Here's a Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 that had lots of issues when it arrived at the shop! It was severely out of tune, had lots of battery corrosion/leakage on one part of the CPU board. Lots of love went into restoring the CPU board, Membrane/Front Panel pot boards (every slide switch was replaced due to corrosion.)
After a full restoration we installed the GLIGLI mod, and flashed/sent new GLIGLI presets to the Prophet 600. These synths easily get looked over, but they sound incredible.
This P600 was fitted with Techs Mechs Vintage Synth FATAR keybed and Prophet 5 style knob caps.
The P600 is hooked up to Death BY Audio's 'ROOMS' Reverb pedal straight into an interface!"

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings
"This JX-8P is far from good condition. Aside from the aftertouch being a little stiff, the synth is fully functional with no other issues we could find. It's definitely seen a fair amount of use and abuse in its time. This isn't for no reason however, as this synth has some really neat sounds and features in its back pocket. Some of this wear on the synth includes: minor cosmetic play wear, worn away faceplate labels, scratches along the perimeter of the synth, some deeper scratches that are pictured and side panels that are just about ready to another dimension. The plastic on the sidepanels went a little brittle and the bushings gave way. It's a fairly easy repair if you have the time and patience, but as of now we do not."

EMS (Cornwall) Ltd VCS3 mk2 2017 SN 1527
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"This particular VCS3 was built by RObin Wood, who fitted most if not all of the recommended modifications.
On the back there's an extra gate input (1/4 jack) and next to the patch matrix there are 6 mini jack inputs (6 patch pin to mini jack cables come with the synth) for:
- glissando
- envelope follower
- pwm osc 2
- pwm osc 3
- signal invert
- resonance
So these can be modulated/ modified from the patch panel or external signal.
Other mods include:
Switch for hi / lo frequency on all 3 vco's
Oscillator sync (with potmeter to determine amount up to hard sync) for osc 1 and 2
Filter slew switch
Filter 18/24dB octave switch
Potmeters for the already mentioned glissando and envelope follower
Trapezoid invert (0 at 12 o' clock)
Trapezoid time x 10 switch
The VCS3 is in perfect condition, works like a charm and it 's such a pleasure to handle a 'vintage' synth with new controls. Don't let the year fool you, the sound is everything you can expect from an EMS Synthi. (I have owned several over the years and to my ears there is no difference between a vintage mk2 or this EMS Cornwall VCS3. An original Putney, mk1 power supply, from the early years is a different story ofcourse. By now I tend to prefer the fuller sound of the re-issues or newly built synths over the sharper sounding originals.... but ofcourse, that's a matter of personal taste. And it's a real EMS synth!"

Bad Gear - P-6

New intro music.
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Roland is the ACME corporation of music technology: no day passes without me finding out about yet another strange product from the colossal portfolio they built up over the last 5 decades.
Today we are going to talk about P-6 and it seems like Roland took every single bit of sampling technology from this poison cabinet of intellectual property and put it in this LoFi sampler for ants.

The Soul of Moog One: Custom Sounds
video upload by Synth Universe
"A musical exploration of Moog One featuring custom-created patches from five years of owning and using this monster synth.
Does it have a characteristic sound? What are its sweet spots? How does its sound compare to the Moog Muse? I hope this video will help to answer those questions.
With the Moog One discontinued and the release of the Moog Muse, I figured it was a good time to make these videos. The Moog One has at times been misunderstood and maligned. It didn't offer the sonic 'instant gratification' of some other classic synths because in a way it's in a category all by itself. It takes time to figure out how to get the best out of it, but when you do, it's one of the most powerful, musically rewarding and inspiring synths ever made.
All the sounds you hear in this video were created by me on the Moog One 16 voice and include poly synths, pads, strings, ambient, soundscapes, keys, brasses, leads, bass and chimes.
Any effects you hear on the sounds in this video are internal to Moog One. I mainly use delay and reverb and several patches use no FX at all. I generally do not use the chorus and modulation effects as they colour the sound too much (in fact my main use of the chorus effect is set at 0% mix to add gain to patches). No external processing was applied.
*** If you are a Moog One owner, all the sounds in this video and many more will soon be available to purchase as part of the Synth Universe Moog One Sound Banks."

Patch Notes: Control Mode as Macro Controller
video upload by Bela Platform
"Patch Notes is a new series of instructional videos designed to help you get the most out of Gliss and provide a source of ideas for fuelling your own experiments and discoveries. Together we will explore possibilities opened by placing Gliss in the midst of a larger patch rather than directly to its final destination, by mixing signals to combine touch control with traditional modulation sources and connecting to unlikely destinations.
In this forth installment, we dive into Control mode and explore how it can be used as a macro controller by utilising the latching functionality. See: https://blog.bela.io/gliss-patch-note..."
