California Highway 163: San Diego's beautiful and scenic freeway


video upload by CatSynth TV

"We take a trip along California Highway 163 (Cabrillo Freeway), a particularly beautiful freeway in San Diego. It beings as a historic parkway running through Balboa Park and under Cabrillo Bridge. After its interchange with Interstate 8, it opens up to a wide modern freeway until its northern terminus at a junction with Interstate 5. Along the way we also pass Interstate 805 and California Highway 52.

The southern parkway section of CA 163 was once part of US 395, which extended all the way to downtown San Diego.

The music reflects the two sections of the highway, with a noticeable change when we move from the historic parkway to the modern freeway.

Original music features the following instruments:
iOptigan
Cherry Audio KR-55C, Yellowjacket, Mercury 6, Elka X, Filtomika, Stardust 201
Arturia CMI V, CP 70, Pigments, MiniBrute
EastWest Fab Four, Stormdrum 2, Gypsy
Buchla Red Panel 158 module
Serge/Random Source Dual Universal Slope Generator
Metasonix R-54 and RK5 modules
Circuit Abbey ADSRjr

UNBOXING // IK Multimedia UNO SYNTH PRO X // TWEAKING Presests // No Talking


video upload by LESINDES

"Just arrived here. I could not dive deep into the synth. So I am scatchning only the surfice in this video and my short FIRST IMPRESSIONS of the new kid.
Very versatile little machine with paraphonic mode to play triads and program triads in the step sequencer. 2 independet filter. 1 OTA HP/LP, 1 SSM style, parallel or in series.
Now a few shortcomings:
DISTORSION is welcome but has to be that harsh?
Also: A programmable DISTORSION is a good feature but without a programmable level BEHIND the DISTORSION makes the synth almost unsuitable for a live performance as for huge unsustainable loudness gaps between different patches. DELAY and REVERB are only average and far away industry standard.
Flexible MODULATION ROUTING but it is quite a mess to readjust levels as there are for instance no dedicated attenuaters for LFO mod levels for the VCF. I understand that there is not much space on the panel 1. But LFO WAVE knob could get a 2nd shift function. Main job: LFO amount, shift-job: wave....
So these were my fist impressins."

"This one is in excellent cosmetic condition and working 100%. It was recently serviced by Jareth Lackey of SynthPro Restorations and I doubt there is another one here on Ebay that has had the same amount of restoration done to it. I generally would not say that something is "fully restored" as that's almost never accurate, but this one comes very close. It is very stable, ready to be played, and needs nothing! There are some videos of this Memorymoog being restored and demonstrated by SynthPro. If you're into the technical side of this stuff, you should find it very inspiring."

Video in the listing previously featured here.

"This ultra-rare gem delivers lush, iconic string sounds that make it one of the best-sounding string machines ever built. A truly unique version of the Logan String Melody but this one is crafted by Wersi in Germany in the 1970's. Comes with the volume pedal.

Seems that it is in all original state, and no modifications have been done to it."

No.1 APEX Eurorack Delays


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I am not sure if there's an APEX (best of the best) delay in eurorack. If there was, I would never ended up with so many of them. The 'problem' with eurorack is that each manufacturer adds something special. They have to. I guess my 'problem' is the autistic need to make 'one brand' cases instead of a colorful patch blanket. I never fully realized I had so many delays and even though there is no good and bad in euro, I could easily build a subjective top five - in any order - except for number 1. The top spot has been taken for seven years, but is now on the verge of retirement.

I'll be using a stack of Plaits and Rings as a reference sound, so prepare for a 20 minute 'spa'. In the end, there is an APEX delay after all. I'll add chapters later, for now I want you to relax, listen, maybe even do something else, and when you hear something remarkable, check what's playing. Spin FX delays like FX-AID are not included, but mentioned in general because they're not just delays. I also think the karaoke-chip delays (e.g. Bruxa, Lyra-8 FX) are too exotic but APEX in their own field. I also didn't include any analog/BBD delays because I have no experience with them. This is not a competitive review, it's a lab tour.

Please comment if I overlooked a delay that beats everything else, I don't have/know all of them. It's also cool if you'd share your personal favorite!

Cheers,
Robert"

Minimal Ambient w / Tenori-on, OP-1 field, volca fm | Herbal Gathering 2025-04-27 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the YAMAHA TENORI-ON, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@KORG_INC‬ volca fm2. Repeating harmonies are washed in effect-laden electronic tones.

TENORI-ON: A phrase is looped with the RANDOM sequencer, then processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II and GENERATION LOSS MK II.

OP-1 field: I first record a harmony loop, then overdub parts with the internal synth. The output is routed through ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY for modulation, reverb, and filtering.

volca fm2: A slow-attack patch is played and further degraded into lo-fi textures with ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY."

Analogue Solutions AS500-SEQ Driving a Vintage ARP Odyssey | 64-Step CV Sequencer Demo


video upload by rezfilter

"AS500-SEQ connected to a vintage ARP Odyssey.
It’s sending gate and CV to the Odyssey and clock to the Arturia DrumBrute. Tempo and start/stop are controlled directly from the sequencer.

X, Y, and Jump switches are triggered live to modify the sequence. CV is also patched into the Odyssey’s Pedal input for subtle shifts.

Glide from the AS500-SEQ is active throughout.
The DrumBrute’s audio is fed into the Odyssey’s External Input."

Ample Synthesizer: Sweeping Cutoff with Built-In Echo
video upload by rezfilter

"This patch on the Ample Synthesizer features a multi-oscillator sequence running via its onboard sequencer. The resonance is set high to highlight the harmonic character of the filter as I sweep the cutoff frequency. You’ll hear how the onboard echo effect adds depth and movement to the sound. I’m also using the touchpads, each preset to a different cutoff value via its dedicated pot, allowing for quick and expressive tonal changes throughout the sequence."

"A little demo on using the Moog Mavis with the MidiVolts Desktop. The LFO rate CV response is good for only a couple octaves. Nonetheless, you can still get some cool results. Thanks for watching!
