PlantsSystem-SingleRoom

"At SingleRoom, we performed an interactive set utilizing the Prophet-5 and 'M.' By blending the warm, analog tones of the Prophet-5 with the refined digital textures of 'M,' we created real-time sonic transformations.
This performance incorporated an improvisational approach, ensuring that each rendition unfolded with unique musical developments. By adapting the sound to the atmosphere and audience reactions, we provided a one-of-a-kind experience.
Harnessing the Prophet-5’s rich filters and the dynamic sound shaping of 'M,' we crafted deep, immersive synth sounds. Characterized by its simplicity yet profound depth, this performance stood as an exploration of the fusion of music and technology, offering listeners fresh inspiration."
Update: Some additional info via plantssytem on M:
"There is a deep relationship between Cycling'74's (MAX) M and ATARI M. Originally, ATARI M was developed by David Zicarelli, the current founder of Cycling'74, and Eric Amres, the founder of the 'Intelligent Sequencer Realtime' that I posted about last time. The prototype of MAX M is ATARI M. In addition, M was also released on the Commodore platform. I use ATARI M, which gives a more cutting-edge, direct and straightforward impression. The current ATARI emulation runs on Linux WattOS using Wine. I will send you the title splash of ATARI M and Realtime."
Unending | Sequential Prophet VS improvisation
video upload by MIDERA
"I was playing the Kawai SX-240 against the Jupiter 6 tonight and started to realize "wow, the Jupiter's filter is really quite 'thin' compared to the SX-240. It's impressive how much better the SX-240 sounds to my ears... so then I pulled out the Sequential Prophet VS and was kind of blown away by how good it and its filters sound. Certainly it is in a class all its own. I found this patch and just really enjoyed improvising.
And this patch was just really inharmonic and just fit these notes…

ALPHALAB AUDIO: 🎛️ EMS AKS SYNTHI (1975) - Restauro completo 🎛️
video upload by SOUNDMIT
"Nel nostro laboratorio Alphalab Audio di Torino, specializzato nella riparazione e restauro di strumenti musicali elettronici, abbiamo avuto il piacere di lavorare su un EMS SYNTI AKS che proprio in questi mesi ha compiuto 50 anni!
Lo strumento presentava diverse modifiche eseguite nel tempo e non perfettamente funzionanti, il proprietario ci ha quindi commissionato un ripristino totale della macchina.
E' stata rivista la matrice, sono stati cambiati i pot con gli originali multi-giro, sono stati sostituiti alcuni componenti non più performanti ed è stata eseguita la taratura completa.
Anche la tastiera è stata restaurata e tarata.
Se hai un synth o uno strumento musicale elettronico da restaurare, affidati ai nostri tecnici!"
Googlish:
"In our Alphalab Audio laboratory in Turin, specialized in the repair and restoration of electronic musical instruments, we had the pleasure of working on an EMS SYNTI AKS that just recently turned 50!
The instrument had several modifications made over time and not working perfectly, so the owner commissioned us to completely restore the machine.
The matrix was revised, the pots were changed with the original multi-turn ones, some components that were no longer performing were replaced and the complete calibration was performed.
The keyboard was also restored and calibrated.
If you have a synth or an electronic musical instrument to restore, trust our technicians!"

"This is your rare chance to own a Waldorf Midi Bay from 1989. This units are just made a few of and are visual in the same line as the Microwave MK1 RevA. So they form a beautiful pair. They share the same anodized dark blue pace plate and styling, they were even shipped in the same box: there was a check box on the carton to mark if the Microwave of the Midi Bay was inside the carton.
Its a very professional programmable midi patch bay with 15 in and 15 out on the back and also in the front. It lets you total recall your midi settings in your project. Same league but more rare then the JL Cooper Synapse. Build like a TANK!
Axel Hartman design at its best!
The original patch chart is still there and is undamaged by writing.
The unit is also great looking for its age with just a minor signs of rack-mounting on the ears and top.
Pictures are part of the description.
Grab this one while it's available, will maybe be your last opportunity."
