The “Thing” The Great Seal Bug.
video upload by Behind Designs
This one is in via John L Rice.
"WW2 & Cold war weapons and spy gadgets were truly amazing! Have you ever wondered about the history of RFID and how it works? It was originally developed and first used as a Soviet cold war spying device. The Thing or The Great Seal bug as it was known, sat on the wall of a US ambassadors office for 7 years completely undetected listening into American secrets. The technology behind this revolutionary device now resides in your pocket in the form of Radio Frequency Identification. or RFID. Thank you so much to everyone who has subscribed and supported the channel so far.

ARTEMIS, un polifónico ANALÓGICO compacto y completo
video upload by Hispasonic
"El buen sabor que acostumbra a dejar Dreadbox con sus analógicos está presente en el sintetizador polifónico Artemis, que ofrece seis voces sustractivas y las completa con 4 efectos para llegar, pese a lo compacto del formato en módulo, a sonidos a través sus salidas estéreo.
No habíamos traído a Hispasonic este modelo que recientemente ha pasado a estar disponible en tiendas, así que hemos aprovechado la visita a Superbooth 2025 para daros a conocer sus características y mostrároslo en acción en varios de los primeros presets de los hasta 512 que puede alojar internamente.

00:50 Demo de sonido

Googlish:
"The good taste that Dreadbox usually leaves with its analog synthesizers is present in the Artemis polyphonic synthesizer, which offers six subtractive voices and complements them with four effects to achieve sounds through its stereo outputs, despite the compactness of its module format.
We hadn't brought this model to Hispasonic, which has recently become available in stores, so we took advantage of our visit to Superbooth 2025 to introduce you to its features and show it in action with several of the first presets of the up to 512 it can store internally.

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
"The first sampler from AKAI - 1985
4khz to 22khz frequency sampling (1 sec. to 8 sec.)
6 voices polyphony
Analog lowpass filter
In good cosmetic condition, with many light traces of rust on the cover, but all other parts are free form rust or humidity traces. Inside is perfectly clean.
Everything works perfect.
This unit have the rare custom Firmware 1.3 from Florian Anwander allowing multi slices, velocity to filter and amp + more.
Some of these features need to be loaded from disk at start, but this disk is missing.
However, the velocity functions are available
The sampler have also been modified with 6 individual outputs. It allows to output each slice to individual output, but also to pan each of the 6 voices individually.
The MD280 disk unit have a new belt and head cleaned
It comes with 6 rare QDD 2.8 inch sample disks, including original AKAI library disks.
Works on 220-240 AC"

Zen Synth? Thinking through the Kodamo Mask1
video upload by j bowman
"Is the Kodamo Mask1 the most Zen-like synthesizer on the market today? In this video, we take a deep dive into the bitmask-based sound engine of the Mask1 and explore its groundbreaking approach to sound design on synths. Whether you're a seasoned synth head or just discovering the unique potential of the Kodamo Mask1, this video walks you through the philosophy, workflow, and sonic capabilities that make this synth stand out.
🧠 We'll unpack what makes the Mask1’s bitmask synthesis architecture different from traditional subtractive and FM synthesis, and why this could change how you approach creative sound design synth work. From clean digital textures to gritty harmonic layering, the Mask1 offers a truly original toolkit for crafting viral-worthy sounds.
Perfect for synth enthusiasts, sound designers, and anyone hunting for deep-dives into rare or underrated instruments. This isn’t just a review—it’s a journey through a meditative and highly programmable machine built for sonic sculpting.
🔍 Keywords: Kodamo Mask1, bitmask, sound design synth, sound design on synthesisers, viral synths, unique synth engines, experimental sound design, Zen synthesizer, synthesizer review, digital synth exploration."
