"View the attached video to hear this exact synth in use!

Quite uncommon analog string synth/piano here. It’s the Univox branded version of the original Crumar Multiman (pre-S model).

Great brass sound with adjustable ADSR/filter, piano, clav, violin, cello. All sounds can be individually volume adjusted and split on one or both sides of the keyboard, pretty rad!"

Elta Music Solar 42F and Enjoy Electronics The Godfather


video upload by Thomas Carli

"The Solar 42F's sequencer is set to 4 steps, triggering VCO B while LFO A triggers the envelope of VCO A. The Drone Voices are manually triggered to play the bass line while the output of VCO A and B are sent out to The Godfather for additional filtering, delay, and reverb. The output of The Godfather is then fed back into the Solar 42F's External Audio input. The master output of the Solar 42F is finally sent to the Infinity FX cartridge. Recorded in real-time with no external effects/processing (other than The Godfather on VCO A and B). Enjoy!"

declassicfied birds: Korg KR-55 externally triggered and synced


video upload by ohm_studi_ohm

"The Korg Rhythm 55 (KR-55) is a very nice and punchy sounding rhythm unit that is also very easily modifiable. Adding clock sync, trigger inputs and audio outputs is really just a matter of soldering some wires in the right places and connecting them to sockets. (well if you want a proprer 24 PPQN DinSync you need to add some components for the clocking part).
Here is a demo of a unit that has 10 trigger inputs sequenced by the Roland TR-8s and which audio is running into the TR-8s too in order to add FX.
All drum sounds are from the KR-55.
You can also still have the built in KR-55 patterns running and play/record some more parts on top of them if you like. So sync and play at the same time.
By enabling external sequencing the trigger inputs mod broadens the KR-55 territory and you can hear that is can easily fit into contemporary musical genres.
One peculiar thing about this unit is that it has 12 sounds but only 10 trigger possibilities. Indeed the 2 toms and 2 congas share the same trigger so there is no way in this unit to have both toms and congas sound at the same time. There is a very nice technical article about this drum machine if you’re interested in such knowledge here: https://electricdruid.net/analogue-dr..."

Crossover Beat w/ Rhodes MK2, Prophet-10, Drums & Bass | Flops 2025-02-22


video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the Rhodes MK2, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, along with live bass and drum performances. A simple rhythm and the chorused sound of the Rhodes serve as the foundation for a layered synth melody.

On the Prophet-10, I record various parts by changing the sound.

The bass is recorded through an audio interface with the SANSAMP BASS DRIVER applied.

The drums are recorded using three microphones on the kick, snare, and overheads.

The Rhodes MK2 is sent through a send/return loop and processed with chorus via the ‪@BOSSinfoglobal‬ CE-5"

"This book is so rare even hardcore collectors and DX1 enthousiasts have never seen this book before. Multiple pages inside are full color too, they realy invested in this one instead making a simple folder.

It was a Japan only release, is 60 pages thick and is just an amazing memorabilia from the era Yamaha just put the DX1 on the market. Take your chance on this opportunity.

Due to its ultra rarity price is fixt, first one to buy is the lucky one..."

Voltage Math | The Modular Classroom | Lesson 03


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"In the previous lessons I tried to explain that learning modular synthesis is about learning voltage. The basic chain of VCO, VCF and VCA is not where it begins. On many classic synthesizers, this is where it ends and a lot is going on under the hood. Things you can't see. On a modular, you can wire it all up and it's OK to wire up a basic chain with a voice, filter, amp and envelope. Just don't expect it to sound like something else.

I guess many of you own a Buchla 281 and 257 in some way. If you have a Maths, you got those too. If you have anything that moves, it may be inspired by the Bucha's. Even a simple attenuator or crossfader starts here. In this lesson, we'll learn a few truly basic concepts, where voltage goes up, goes down or stays idle. Voltage is potential and you'll need to open the floodgates. It's such a clichee to call it a magic world, but actually, it is."
