There are many ways to get to your goal.

"Presenting my thoughts on finding different ways to get to a goal. This example starts out with the 'normal' way of making a sequencer pattern and discovering alternative ways that require less hardware, but with the same results.

02:49 Patch breakdown with Dig It! and Manual Override controllers
05:34 Duet Jam with Astrid!
HI FIVE works with DIG IT! or MANUAL OVERRIDE as a remote CV controller system that expands the expressive and social range of your Eurorack modular synthesizer. Turn your solo jam into a playtime with kids, a modular synthesis tutorial, or a drum circle with friends by passing the controller around!
HI FIVE sends +12V and receives five analog CV signals over an ethernet cable from a (potentially) infinite variety of CV controllers.
Each CV channel can be attenuverted +/-10V and offset +/-5V before its output.
RJ45 development PCBs are available, and included in every HI FIVE DIY kit. Design your own dream controller!
DIG IT! controls its five CV channels with a joystick, FSR pressure point, a bright arcade-style LED solo button and a LED button and 45mm fader pair. The buttons have on-momentary off and off-momentary on settings.
In this video, DIG IT! is modulating parameters on a Mutable Instruments Plaits module in 2-op FM mode, as well as a generative analog algorithm passing through a quantizer that is producing its melodic line.
MANUAL OVERRIDE controls CV with 60 mm faders and LED button pairs similar to channel E of DIG IT! on all five channels. It's controlling a Mutable Instruments Grids module and several drum sounds.
Standard color schemes for LEDs, buttons and fader caps are Rainbow (red-orange-yellow-green-blue), and Biopower Green. For an extra charge, we will build custom any combination of these colors (and white with black faders).
HI FIVE is 8 hp and 38mm deep.
Peak current:
35mA with MANUAL OVERRIDE
80mA with DIG IT!"
meloDICER & MEX3 - individual MIDI channels
video upload by vermonagear
"Next month (December 2024), we’re releasing a new firmware update for the *meloDICER*. While it includes some minor improvements, the highlight is the ability to set an individual MIDI channel per voice. Translation? You can now send up to three melodies simultaneously to three different synthesizers using the *MEX3*.
In this demonstration, we’re using two *Mono Lancet ’15*s and a @1010music Fireball:
The synth on the right kicks things off with a deep bass sound, blending sawtooth on oscillator 1 with some noise.
The red nanobox? It’s taking care of a string-like sound.
And the Mono Lancet ’15 on the left is playing a classic sawtooth patch.
All three synths are polished with delay and reverb effects from Logic Pro, just to give things that extra shimmer.
So, what do you think about this new feature? Is it something you see yourself using often, or just another reason to stay up all night making music? Let us know in the comments—we’d love to hear your thoughts!"

THONK SYNTH Introduces t01 VCO
video upload by Thonk Synth DIY
"Our 4hp t01 VCO is a fully analog high quality voltage controlled oscillator. It easily tracks over 8 octaves, and has a triangle core with excellent Linear FM.
PWM, Hard Sync, LFO mode, Octave switch and 4 outputs too and all at very competitive pricing. Available now at Thonk.
Out of sight in this video are some looping envelopes from a Vostok 'Fuji' which is modulating the amount of FM or PWM etc. There is a 4MS Looping Delay module at moments to add some nice echoes, a Vostok 'Ceres VCA is generally present before it hits the camera. A Kassutronics quantizer is used now and then for tuned melodies."

Synapse Legend HZ: Dreamy Patterns & Presets. No Talk Demo
video upload by Anton Anru
"Dreamscape Flow is a collection of 50 presets for Synapse Audio Legend HZ.
🌠 In this soundset, I focused on exploring the built-in sequencer and spent time crafting intricate, beautiful patterns enhanced by synchronized MSEG and Delay. Each preset showcases the seamless integration of these features, creating sequences that are both inspiring and immediately usable.
📥 Get this soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/lege...
🎼 All patches are in sequence mode, offering not just timbres but melodic patterns that bring immediate musical ideas to life. Simply hold a key or use the keyboard to transpose the sequence, and you'll have a fully realized synth part ready to integrate into your tracks. Whether you use the sequences as-is or tweak them to create your own unique melodies, all presets are royalty-free and ready for production.
🧿 The soundset spans a wide range of tones, from warm, noisy, and detuned textures to soft, clean, punchy, dark, bright, deep, and airy timbres.
🎚 ModWheel adds expressiveness—brightening the sound, introducing vibrato, shifting tone, or adding extra movement for dynamic performance.
📻 Since Legend HZ is a replica of an old analog synthesizer, I aimed to highlight the vintage, imperfect, slightly distorted character of the sound.
I used oscillators drift, saturation, and distortion in different blocks of the plugin, used noise as a sound source and as a modulation source, and used FM modulation, which can significantly distort the tone. And of course, the famous Filter Bank - it can noticeably add color to the sound.
🧬 The soundset is suitable for many genres: ambient, electronica, cinematic, retrowave, synthwave, darkwave, IDM, trip-hop, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, trance, deep, progressive, techno, breaks, jungle, drum and bass, dub and others.
💡 Ensure that you are using the latest software version.
To add presets to the collection, open the plugin browser, click Menu in the upper left corner, then select Import Folder, and specify the folder on your computer."

10CC I`m Not In Love ~ Vintage Synthesizer Recreation ~ RetroSound
video upload by RetroSound
"(c)2007-24 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi
❤️ Support #RetroSound channel: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com
One of my favorite tracks from the 70s.
I`m Not In Love by 10CC from the album The Original Soundtrack (1975)
Written by the band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman
Featured the Yamaha Reface CP with phase shifter, Roland M-VS-1, Logan Vocalist for human choir sounds, E-MU Emax SE additional choir sounds and Moog Minimoog for the bass and bassdrum
This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."
MOOG MuSonics Sonic V 1972 - Signed by Original Inventor Gene Zumchak
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"This is a very rare synthesizer, the Moog MuSonics SONIC V, from 1972. Only 100 of these were made, and this is serial number 90. They were only available in 1971 and 72 when Moog joined MuSonics. I bought it many years ago in Buffalo New York, the same town where they were created. I took it to original inventor Gene Zumchak who still lived in Buffalo and he signed it for me on the front panel. He said he had not seen one since 1972 and never signed one before or since.
It is in all-working condition, 2 oscillators, 2 lfos, low pass filter, ring modulator, envelope generator, and VCA. (These are very similar in design to the later Sonic 6, which was a redesigned by Bob Moog and Dave Luce.) in some ways I consider this superior to the Minimoog, has it allows wilder and crazier modulation - plus the ringmodulator. As we say, it sounds more like a 'baby Moog modular.'
Please see the YouTube video I made a while ago, showing how great and fascinating this instrument can be." You can find them in previous posts here.

"This is a rare early digital EPROM- based sample playback keyboard that’s kind of like a digital version of the mellotron. It's been estimated that fewer than 200 were made between 1982 and 1984.
This unit arrived here in pretty good working order but we like to refurbish all but the cheap stuff, so we asked our tech to give this one a good cleaning and servicing. He ended up spending nearly 13 hours cleaning the switches, pots and fan, rebuilding the keyboard and recapping the power supply. This is more than what we anticipated, but it had to be fully disassembled in order to get to the power supply. The power supply worked fine, we just wanted to try to extend its life for its next owner - hopefully whoever ends up with it will appreciate this work!"

Fully tested by professionals, working perfectly and sounding like nothing else. Comes with original owners manual."

Roland JX-1 Performance Synth - realtime tweaking on a 90s Rompler. The best of „both worlds“
video upload by Ted murena
"The the Roland JX one is a 90s romper built as part of the JX series. This synthesiser gives the user a lot to control in their play mode but it is not a workstation and does not have a lot of ability to truly create brand new sounds effectively you are able to tweak the presets to come up with some pretty good useful sounds this has been used by many, techno and trance artist over the 90s as a nice entry synth and also a real usable playable instrument for those that may be more likely to be focused on DJ activities while making music."
