"The Elka Wilgamat was an accompaniment unit intended as an add-on to some of Elka's organ line and also as a standalone unit with dedicated 2 octave keyboard. It consists of a rhythm unit, a bass section and a chord section.
All sounds are of course fully analog. It is very similar in features and sound to the Godwin Drummaker, Wersi Wersimatic WM24, Elgam Carousel or Böhm Böhmat.
if you don't know these units check the video I made with a different unit: [previously featured here]
Unit was serviced and is in fully working order. It comes with a custom DIY keyboard and cable. Cosmetic the unit has some scuffs mainly on the case but overall looks very nice."

Oberheim Two Voice Pro SN 0143

via this listing
"There isn’t another filter in the world that sounds like this filter, and there are two of them. The oscillators sound pure and lush. This baby is fully duophonic, or you can treat it as one beastly four-oscillator monosynth (that’s what I did), either way the sound of this synth is unique.
The keybed is a very nice semi-weighted Fatar, between that and the versatile sequencer (which can be transposed by the keyboard as it plays) it really is a players synthesizer.
VCO2 from SEM2 needs to be scaled as it does not track pitch correctly within a few semitones of the tuned note. A temporary workaround is to hard sync VCO2 to VCO1 but leave the tuning in the same range, this makes it playable in tune."

Gotharman’s Introduces AnaX USB – USB to CV Expander
via Gotharman’s
Gotharman’s has today announced the AnaX USB.
It is a USB to CV expander which works with many of our current instruments – Zaturn, SpazeDrum, Little deformer 3 and Tiny LD.
It has 4 CV/trigger inputs and 4 CV/trigger outputs.
All modulation sources of the connected instrument can be sent to the 4 CV outputs (minijacks).
The output range is 0 to +5V.
4 LEDs will show the activity of the outputs.
The 4 CV inputs (minijacks) appear as modulation sources, and it is possible to trigger parts from these.
The input range can be set individually for each input to +5V, +-5V, +10V or +-10V, to match the sources.
On Zaturn it is also possible to sample the CV signals and convert them into draw waves, for further manipulation.
Connects to the USB connector of your Gotharman instrument.
Comes in a black box 12.5 x 8 x 2.5 cm.
USB cable included!
Shipping is expected to start in early April 2025.
Price: EUR 279.
Pre-order before 31/3-2025 and get it at EUR 251!
Can be pre-ordered at: https://www.gotharman.dk

This post supplements the blog on Noise Engineering's website here: https://noiseengineering.us/blogs/loq...
In this video, Today, we’ll explore some generative melodic patches using the Confundo Funkidos rhythm crossfader. We’ll use Debel Iteritas Alia as the main voice and Confundo Funkidos to shape its rhythms. Confundo will send trigger patterns to Debel for its envelope, pitch, and two CV inputs."

Roland Jupiter 6 w/ Tauntek OS Upgrade
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"Fully functional and near Mint cosmetic condition Roland Jupiter-6. I am hesitant to use the word Mint to describe any vintage synth but this is pretty damn close. It almost looks like it came straight out the box in 1983. It features a new Tauntek OS upgrade which improves upon the original JP6 firmware. Unlike Europa this is not complete rewrite, but an upgrade which adds:
MIDI sysex patch storage
MIDI CC parameter changes
New VCO toggling
And much more! Read about it on the Tauntek website.
This JP-6 has been serviced to preserve the reliability for another lifetime of studio use."

Aphex Twin - aisatsana | Modular Synth Cover
video upload by Mars Machine
"One of my favorite Aphex Twin Songs.
Patch Notes:
I sequenced all voices from Ableton using Univer Inter by @NoiseEngineering.
The lower octave voice is Acid Rain Chainsaw through Xaoc Zagrzeb and Mimeophon.
The lower lead voice is Basimilus Iteritas Alter through Ritual Electronics Guillotine and the Intellijel LPG. There is also a layer of this voice with a piano sample on the Disting.
The right hand melody are Plaits and 2hp Pluck through Forbidden Planet and Clouds.
The filters and some other characteristics of the voices are slightly modulated via PNW and Stages to keep it moving a little bit."
