Intellijel - Multigrain // Intellijel Goes Granular
video upload by NOISEBUG
"#intellijel goes granular! The #multigrain is in stock and ready to ship immediately!
Multigrain is a morphing playground of granular experimentation. Packed with tons of exciting features, this module brings a brand new approach to granular synthesis
With the ability to record samples, load up to 8 samples at a time and crossfade Octatrack style between two scenes of settings, this module will keep you busy for a long long time. With the ability to sequence and or scan between the 8 loaded sounds, the beautiful blur effect, and + sync & gate controls, this module proves to be much more than a module. It’s a standalone all encompassing granular synthesizer.
Very impressed with this module as it leans heavily into a new experimental territory. More videos to come.

"SCHOBER TUNESMITH (new start price to allow bids from outside the seller's tax region) Very rare monophonic transistor synth, single oscillator, circa 1968, sold as a kit or pre-assembled. The voice switch activates different static filters, providing 6 markedly different tones from bright sawtooth to mellow triangle. This short video [posted here] of the same model clearly shows the sounds ---- I read that the keyboard is a Pratt-Reed that uses series resistance rather than a matrix. This model for auction has clear strong sound with almost no hum whatsoever. The main problem is the tuning is way off, and some notes glitch a little. Not difficult to repair, I would think. Also the vibrato is not working, probably just a bad resistor, should be easy to fix. Body is solid and in good condition for a 57-year old instrument, so it hasn't been knocked about. Keyboard and control panel are very clean, almost no scratches. Mainly home or studio use, probably. The three tools contained inside the lid are a complete mystery, which may be solved once you look inside the unit! While this is offered as a 'project' the encouraging thing is how bright and clear it sounds, and once tuning and vibrato are fixed, you have a very playable instrument similar to a Clavioline. It's a worthwhile project, I would say. Power is 105-120V 50/60 cycles, with a 2-pin US-style mains plug. I've given it a very low start price. SHIPPING: This Tunesmith is located in Japan, and weighs (packed) approximately 7kg. Discounted shipping to UK/Europe/USA will be £30 surface, £80 air. For other countries, please enquire."

The Yamaha CS30 is a very powerful, flexible and often underrated synth. It's almost like a modular in its design and really rewards delving deep. This one is in lovely condition and has been in my studio since 2008 having been purchased in beautiful restored condition from RL Music in UK. It's been regularly serviced since then and comes with a lovely original Yamaha CS30 case. I am now retired, so selling off some prized studio equipment, otherwise I'd be unlikely to let this one go this one for sure.

"One of the earliest examples of Roland's pure class, the SH-1 was in many ways more powerful and impressive than the SH-2 that followed - and in many ways was streets ahead of its American rivals in build quality. It also, I thought, sounded more meaty than my SH-7 at the time. I still remember the owner of a London music shop going ape about the sounds he was getting out of his little SH-1 in the late 70s - at a time when they also had Moogs and ARPs at their disposal. Seriously solid, in its construction and in its sound.
An especially nice feature is the audio input with an envelope follower - and this could be mixed with VCO, sub and noise in a dedicated little four-slider mixer. Plus, like its big brother, the SH-7, it has auto-bend - and the filter design uses the CA3080 OTA chip, like the System 700.
This example of this seriously rare synth is in superb cosmetic condition, and we reckon near-mint. It works beautifully, though like many of its contemporaries it has some difficulty getting back to perfect pitch after using the pitchbend.
[***UPDATE: we were able to find what the problem was (more the transpose switch than the pitchbend) and it's now good again. But in examining it very closely we decided that 'very good' (8/10) is better for the cosmetic description. Still a seriously lovely instrument for something only a few uears away from being 50 years old.***] Packing 12GBP."

"Here is a very rare occasion to buy a RSF Kobol and this one is in full working condition. Internal battery has been replaced. Its worse cosmetic flaw being the crack in its right flank as shown in the pictures, which has not cracked further for the last 20 years. Feels totally solid. Otherwise the cosmetic condition is excellent. It comes (not in the pictures) with its original paper manual and in a very sturdy custom wooden box with foam inside that is also very heavy. So if you want to ship you will have to tell us if you want the box or not as since it weighs almost as much as the synth it will have a significant impact on the shipping cost. The RSF Kobol is one of the very best vintage monophonic synths ever designed with its distinctive powerful and precise sound and one of the sexiest User Interface ever designed. Plus it has 16 memory slots and the ability to sequence these slots making it one of the most powerful sequencers of its time. You can trigger it from any 5V clock. More information can be found here : https://www.vintagesynth.com/rsf/kobol-expander and here : http://rsf-synth-official.com/cadre.html"

"In very nice condition. You will struggle to find a nicer looking one. Everything working as far as I can tell. But it is a Russian Synth! They are revered for their sound and not necessarily for their build quality. Having said that, this is the best of all the Russian synths I have owned and the last one I have kept. ***I can confirm the Polyvoks has fully functioning midi. There is a midi input on the back and in order for the keyboard to be controlled by midi messages there is a switch on the left side of the Polyvoks which switches the unit from its own keyboard to midi. The media interface also transfers velocity values for the VCA.***"

Updated L-Fusion Analog Kicks Eurorack module demo
video upload by LFusion Electronics
"Updated demo video showcasing L-Fusion Modular Analog Kicks Eurorack module with walkthrough through all the parameters, also tips how to get most of it using filtering and EQ. For best listening experience use studio headphones/speakers that can handle the low end.
Module is available on Reverb.
808 kick generates softer more boomy kick sound while 909 outputs more aggressive punchy kick often used for making techno. Built using modern components – Audio grade Burr-Brown OpAmps, low noise transistors as well as quality capacitors including legendary WIMA German ones where larger values are needed - module provides two clean analog sound outputs with dynamic range of over 90dB.
808 section outputs classic boomy kick based on T-Shape resonator, often used in Electro/Acid tracks. It has decay, pitch and tone knobs. The circuit has been modified for longer maximum decay.
909 kick is more complex, it generates more aggressive punchy kick sound often used making techno, its core is based on integrated triangle shape oscillator. This kick drum can be controlled with original attack, decay, tune, tune decay potentiometers. Original 909 circuit has been improved for longer maximum decay, we have also integrated extra potentiometers for soft clipping distortion and fast decaying attack noise control."

"I wonder... how does one increase views? I've been doing the same thing for years. Like 10+ years... and the longer I go, the fewer sales I have on each subsequent album, the fewer views, the fewer everything. I guess it's hard to change, maybe everything I do is the same.
Probably just a saturated market. Everyone out there is doing something."
Novation Summit semi-generated meditative ambient music
video upload by No Lake
"'Creativity is the ability to introduce order in the randomness of nature'. (Eric Hoffer)
Heaphones on, eyes closed.
Little reminder of how I do this: I created several self-generating patches that play simultaneously and several sequences with modulation frequencies. The three LFOs of the Summit are playing ping-pong with each other. Of course, everything follows predefined rules to avoid a complete mess, it is NOT AI music. The LFO's just "modulate together" in harmony. It's basically FM synthesis. But FM can be hazardous, eventful or even crazy. It takes time to reach something pleasant and relaxing.
The Novation Summit and the Novation Peak do have a strong FM engine and these synths can be turned into a modular synthesizer. Then I just had to add some real-time effects on everything and off we go."

"With the immense sonic potential of granular synthesis, Multigrain can transform your audio samples into everything from ethereal ambient drones to sputtering, alien machine techno, and virtually everything else in between. With ample assignable modulation inputs and real-time, performance-focused controls, the only limit is your imagination.
Part of a Nutritious Microsound Diet
Multigrain is an eight-channel stereo morphing granular sampler. Layer grains and sequence from the eight available Sounds—each one loaded from your microSD sample library, or recorded directly on the module. Each of the eight Sound Buttons plays grains generated from its own sample, and its own pair of Scenes—two completely different sets of granular parameters; a dedicated Morphing Fader and CV allow you to smoothly morph between these two Scenes. Dedicated Select, Next and Gate CV inputs allow you to sequence the playback of all eight Sounds.
Assignable X/Y/Z CV as well as an internal Random S&H generator, can be applied to any and all granular parameters at once. Assignable MOD A/B Outputs let you modulate other modules in time with Multigrain.
Projects and Presets allow you to save, load, and organize different sets of samples and settings. 48kHz 24-bit Stereo I/O and 32-bit floating point internal processing for Hi-Fi output."

4/10/25 Overloading an Alesis MIDIVERB II + ADR Pan Scan + SWTPC Psych Tone
video upload by Cfpp0
"I just posted a YouTube Short of the Multivox FR6M Rhythm Ace through the two Moog MKPE Parametric Equalizers, so this video is the last of the lower third rack tests after rewiring the patch bays. Some manual adjustments to the Pause Select switches on the SWTPC Psych Tone, which is running through the ADR Pan Scan, with some adjustments to the Pan Depth and Pan Speed. The Pan Scan outputs are hard-panned on the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer. The Alesis MIDIVERB II is on an aux send and is fed a big dose of both channels. The MIDIVERB II blooms alone are worth the cost, but I love the way the MIDIVERB II overloads."

"Great early analogue monosynth, serial number 0723, actually called the OB-1A. This version has livery like the OB-X, and it's reasonable to assume that internally it is very much like an OB-X voice with much more individual control. It is in very good working order, with the keyboard re-bushed in the last few weeks. Cosmetically it has some minor paint scrapes - hence our calling it 7/10 cosmetically. An experienced restorer could probably spend a couple of hours and get it back to near-mint.
This synth has one mod, quite neatly done on the sloping panel behind the keyboard: a switch to send pitchbend to the CV out, with a corresponding amount knob. Switchable voltage, currently set to 240V with a UK plug. It has the Tauntek CPU mod. Packing 15GBP."

Buchla/Tiptop 292T RoHS | Buchla 200 series | Episode 13
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"This week, the 292t quad lo-pass gate finally arrived at the EU and the UK, but without the toxic vactrol components. As you may know, vactrols require the use of cadmium, which is mildly radio active and it should not end up in the environment. The 292t RoHS can safely be disposed when it turns out it ain't no Buchla anymore.
In this video I'll do a quick test using both versions but as always, TipTop Audio did a truly amazing job. It still has the magic of the original 292c, but it's a bit quicker because there's no vactrol memory effect. The bad news is that you can't strike it with a short blip, ping or trigger. The good news is that it sounds as tight as a doornail and when you use envelopes, you will not get the feeling it's not a 292.
Still, it's impossble they will respond in the exact same way. Even the original vactrol 292 would expose tiny differences from unit to unit, where the RoHS version will be consistent. I am a huge fan of LPG's and I always assumed you can't have a decent LPG without vactrols. The excellent Natural Gate from Rabid Elephant already proved me wrong a long time ago, and the 292t RoHS confirms it. There's no need to get yourself an 'original' 292t with an illegal import. The EU/UK version is fine!"
Bad Gear - The END of Maschine+ ???
video upload by AudioPilz
"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Presumably I’m not the only one who made a handful of Native Instruments “backup copies” a core part of his personality back in the zero years so it goes without saying that my mid-forties self is yearning for an overpriced yet tangible take on these plugins for the sole purpose of reminding me of a time when all it needed was sleep deprivation and a PC from Aldi.
However, all we got was Maschine+. This 2020 standalone version of NIs software MPC ripoff ecosystem offers DAWless access to a small selection of these now-iconic plugins, it boasts the processing power of the aforementioned Aldi PC and will disappoint you with more broken promises when it comes to major updates than the GTA franchise.

Minimal Ambient w/ KORG NTS-1, OP-1 field, Tape Loop | Isle in the sky 2025-04-11 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with the @KORG_INC NTS‑1, @teenageengineering OP‑1 field, and tape loops—a minimal ambient work where repeating arpeggios blend with tape‑sourced piano and melodic fragments.
KORG NTS‑1: Controlled via MIDI from the DAW. Its audio output runs through @strymon NIGHTSKY for reverb, filtering, and pitch modulation.
Tape loop: Routed through @ChaseBlissAudio LOSSY, which applies filtering and packet‑loss effects while fading the sound in and out.
OP‑1 field: Also driven by MIDI from the DAW. Bit reduction is applied with the built‑in TERMINAL effect, and the signal is further shaped with reverb and micro‑loops via the MOOD MK II.
Strings and additional layers: Overdubbed in the DAW."
