XAOC DEVICES SAMARKANDA first test
video upload by ALEQ Modular
"I'm just receiving the XAOC DEVICES SAMARKANDA module !!!
The ultimate delay module ?
Maybe not , it needs some extra modules, maybe, like filters, or compressors.
But the best I know in the 'modular' spirit. And it's what I'm looking for.
Why ? because the module fonctionnalities are completely open. Almost all parameters are CV (or gate) controllable, and the 4 delays can be independante.
So, if I need more functionnalities, I can add them to the module by patching other modules: there are all the jacks we need.
Also, no sub menus or tiny screen.
It means that it can be deeply connected to all my other modules: the 'modular' spirit...
To show how this module is easy to use, this is really an 'out of the box' test. (for a result after a deep exploration of the module, see the very good demo that are already on youtube, from your favorit youtubers)
Audio sources are the DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR and the 4TOMS from LARIX ELEKTRO.

"1950s Vintage Gibson Clavioline w/Tube Amplifier / Speaker / Case & Tripod Stand
The Gibson Clavioline is a single manual mini-key piano attachment with a tube preamp and amplifier, made from about 1934-1965. The sound made famous in Telstar and in The Beatles' 'Baby I'm A Rich Man', it uses a basic square wave.
The original design was by Constant Martin in France, and many companies licensed it. Selmer were perhaps the most famous maker in the UK, but Jorgensen in Germany was another, and Gibson in the US. The common design feature was a metal-cased keyboard, complete with internal tube tone-forming circuitry. The case attached by metal sliders to rails that could be screwed to the underside of your piano keyboard - or you could use the Clavioline as a stand-alone instrument on a metal stand. There is a Set of rocker switches underneath the keyboard for tone choice. The tube amplifier and speaker are in a case, which the Clavioline keyboard folds into for transport.
Although the tone is quite variable, the sound is distinctive, and instantly recognizable, due mainly to the simple envelope employed - and maybe also to its monophonic nature, which somehow gave melodies a different feel from exactly the same line played on an organ. It may be the glitches which provide its charm. Gibson licensed the Clavioline design from Constant Martin and made the American Clavioline version in 1954. Al Kooper plays one on BS&T's first album, Child is Father to the Man, and I think the specific tune is 'Meagan's Gypsy Eyes.' Also used on 'Sweet Pea' by Tommy Roe, 'Just a Mirage', Tommy James, and Del Shannon's 'Runaway'. A really cool instrument, it's the big brother to the Clavioline used on 'Telstar'.
Good condition, functional but has issues. Powers up, although the power light on the amplifier does not light. Keys play, but seem to just play one pitch, with a variable pitch underneath, and a quavering quality. The tone switches do change the sound, volume control works, and the octave switch works.
Includes the tube amplifier / speaker, which forms the case that holds the Clavioline, the Clavioline keyboard, 3-legged tripod stand, and power cable with split-off multi-pin cable that powers the Clavioline. Also has the service manual (which appears to be original). And includes the expression knee-lever, which is integral to the sound of the Clavioline.
Full pictures are here, along with a video of the instrument being played:

"Minimoog Model D with Kenton MIDI conversion > This minimoog has been recently serviced and plays very well. It has a Kenton MIDI conversion which allows it to be played over MIDI. The top panel is in good condition but the case has quite a few knocks, especially on the left side - see the photos. The origin of the red paint and red knobs is unknown but is a professional job. The case was obviously dismantled and painted inside and out.
There are two non-standard silver knobs for the master tuning and Osc 2 tuning. These are 'vernier' knobs which allow for very fine tuning. They have 10 turns instead of the original knob's 1 turn.
The voltage plaque says 110V but it was converted a long time ago to UK /euro voltage with a UK plug.
In response to questions about this, all I can say about the modifications is that they were there when I bought it in around 1990 - I find the fine tuning knobs really useful. I don't have any internal photos but the guy that serviced it said that some circuit boards have been changed, I believe it has the later oscillator boards. VEMIA can collect and pack: 18GBP."

"ARP Odyssey MKII with Kenton MIDI conversion with rare original 220/240V power supply. This is a very early MKII Odyssey (serial number 38 !) with a Kenton MIDI conversion allowing it to be played over MIDI. It has been recently serviced and is in very good condition cosmetically with just some very small marks to the case and a couple of the keys. It all works well although some of the most commonly used sliders are starting to get scratchy. It is all unmodified apart from the MIDI, the high level output and audio input which have been changed from RCA sockets to Jacks - and the two switches which relate to the Kenton MIDI operation. Kenton instructions for use included.
In response to questions about the filter type, we haven't been able to check for certain - it was working well and sounding good so no attention was paid to it during servicing. The owner wouldn't feel happy opening it up. VEMIA can collect and pack: 18GBP."

The Best 'Budget' Synth You've Never Heard
video upload by Starsky Carr
"The Korg DW-8000 & the Retroaktiv DW-8P mk2 MIDI Controller. The DW-8000 is something of a hidden gem, with a fervent following among its fans for good reason. Released in 1985 it was ahead of its time, coming with 16 digital waveforms and Korgs own gorgeous analog filter it is a lovely sounding hybrid. Add to that it came along with the world's first onboard digital delay and cost less than 20% of a PPG this was truly groundbreaking. The Prophet VS didn't arrive until a year later, and the Waldorf Microwave wasn't released until 1989.
It does suffer from 80s minimal interface syndrome, but luckily we have the Retroaktiv DW-8P mk2 which not only brings all the controls to hand but improves on the mk1 with loads of extras like the assignable mod matrix, dual DIN connections, USB MIDI and power, larger screen, improved interface and graphics.
And most of all it brings out the best in the synth as the mod matrix and hands on control really bring it to life."

ANA Patch - Voltage to Trigger Sequence Converter
video upload by Mystic Circuits
"Here is a patch where we use Ana to extract a pair of trigger sequences from an incoming voltage sequence using the BOX output. While BOX normally outputs a 3-level square wave involving a positive and negative pulse, we can use a second ANA to invert the BOX signal for our second trigger sequence as most trigger inputs will ignore the negative portion of the signal. This patch can give you some interesting ways to riff on an incoming musical theme either by turning knobs or with incoming modulation. It's also a great example of the advantages of analog logic over digital logic, even when we are expecting gates at our output we are processing continuous voltages and getting useful behavior from it.
I am going to just mention that the editing on this video is a little sloppy, I am doing a lot of experiments with the filming setup as I am figuring out how to streamline filming/ editing/ posting as much as possible. There has been some experimentation with lighting, camera positioning, etc. during this process so I appreciate your patience as we figure this out."

My favorite track by JMJ.
Souvenir Of China by Jean Michel Jarre from the album The Concerts in China (1982)
Featured the Oberheim OB-X, the Moog Taurus bass pedals and the E-MU Emulator II (original Fairlight)
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."
Synthpop w/ OP-1 field, YAMAHA RX17, CS01 | Progress 2025-04-03 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created using the OP-1 field, YAMAHA CS01, and RX17—bringing together 80s drum machine beats and analog synth sounds.
The harmonies come from a @SequentialLLC Prophet-10, the bass from a @MoogSynthesizers Grandmother, and the arpeggiated parts from a @NordKeyboards Nord Lead. All of these are triggered via MIDI from the DAW.
The RX17 is processed with reverb and delay using the @gfisys SPECULAR TEMPUS.
On the CS01, I play while applying reverb and flanger from the @KORG_INC NTS-3."
PlantsSystem-RadioKey
video upload by plantssystem
"The warm and deep synth sound of the SEQUENTIAL Prophet-5 and the radio noise captured by the SONY SkySensor. The two intersected to create 'RadioKey'.
The rich filter changes of the Prophet-5 create an organic sound, and the minute noise and random sound changes picked up by the Sky Sensor add a unique texture to the song.
The sound is nostalgic yet new, and will draw the listener in.
"RadioKey" weaves together the expressive power of analog equipment and the unpredictable elements of radio.
It is a one-of-a-kind sound experience where chance and necessity intersect.

TEMPERA - An amazing granular-synth-sampler instrument by Beetlecrab Audio
video upload by CGMAGIK
"Finally making another video! I'm long overdue. It's been a busy year and I also moved, which was a huge amount of work. I live on a beautiful island now though, so well worth it :) Back in the Fall of 2024, as I was preparing to work on a new film project, an ad popped up in my news feed. I think on Facebook, or maybe Instagram . . . It was for this new granular sample based instrument called the 'TEMPERA' by Beetlecrab Audio. It didn't take long after reading a bit about it and watching a few videos that I felt that THIS was something I needed to get! Perfect for the film I was going to be working on. Part of what I was going to do with the project was to record a handful of real musicians (voice, bass clarinet, trumpet and guitar) and then further manipulate and make samples of the performances I recorded. The TEMPERA seemed like it would be a really great tool for some of that work, and it was! It is months later now, the film is finished and I felt that I should make a quick video showing some of these patches, or 'canvases' as they are called, that I made.
The TEMPERA is an amazing and inspiring instrument and I'm looking forward to working more with it.
The film I worked on is called #vanlife and you can read more about it here
