Beat w/ TR-707, OP-1 field, NTS-1, Prophet-10 | Closed Door 2025-05-29 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the ‪@rolandglobal‬ TR-707, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-1. Over a steady beat, two contrasting melodies appear in turn: one shaped by a looping envelope, the other a whistling tone rich in modulation.

Rhythm: The TR-707 is triggered from the DAW over MIDI, its output sent through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY for lo-fi processing.

Bass: Played on the Grandmother.

Chords: Performed on the Prophet-10.

Melodies:

NTS-1 runs an envelope generator in loop mode to create a modulating line.

OP-1 field delivers a whistle-like lead, modulated with the CWO effect."

Clever Mutating Melodic Patterns with Patience // PROTEUS from Seaside Modular (Generative Eurorack)

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the fantastically musical, generative Eurorack pattern maker PROTEUS. It’s the first module from Seaside Modular and is an impressive melody maker with lots of controls to go from simple rhythmic riffs and hooks through to complex melodies. With unique parameters like sleep and patience Proteus offers lots of ways to make, store, recall and vary patterns. Proteus has been fun as a smart band mate (that doesn’t turn up late and hungover) and as the centrepiece and main element on a patch or in a more supporting role. Loads of patches, loads of music, ace!"



Check with dealers on the right for availability.

Priced at $325.00

"Proteus is an algorithmic sequencer with a short attention span.

Proteus creates a melody, then repeats that melody over and over again. Each time the melody is played, there’s some chance that Proteus will get bored and scrap the melody in favor of a brand new one. How fast it gets bored is up to you, and depends upon the PATIENCE parameter.

Proteus’s melodies aren’t simply random; they are generated by an algorithm designed to make sequences that are more humanlike and musical. You can save and recall melodies that you like using the Pattern Bank.

Play with Proteus to explore the balance between repetition and variation, to inspire you and accompany you in your own musical improvisations."

GENE GX

video upload by LA Priest

"GENE GX is an all analog, polyphonic synthesizer with a class A audio path.

Inspired by the earliest polysynths of the 1970s, it is multi-timbral and completely touch sensitive.

With 7 tuneable keys on each of its 3 touch sensitive keyboards (6 main keys plus one higher octave key on the right and also a silent filter envelope trigger key on the left), Gene GX can be tuned to a huge number of standard and microtonal scales using the two independent tuning, modulation and pitch bend sections, allowing you to articulate the pitch and timbre of each group as you play.

The unique all-analog oscillator design allows four different waveform harmonics to be controlled and modulated, creating shifting waveshapes and frequency ranges.

All of this is topped off with a lovely class A transistor ladder filter."

"Here’s the last EML-200 and EML-300 we fully refurbished. The EML-200 took 25 hours and the EML-300 took 13 hours so far but needs what could be several more hours of work because a couple of the keypad contacts are still malfunctioning occasionally after the first cleaning. Refurbishing 50 year old electronics to work like new again takes a lot of hard work and attention to detail.

Music of the wind: a modular Aeolian harp

video upload by Electrum Modular

"Combine a modular synth with a wind gauge and you get what we might call an electro-aerophone: an electronic instrument that can transform the wind into music … and, in the process, reconnect us to our environment.

On this second trip to the park, I simulate an Aeolian harp with the help of an eight-band, resonating filter bank, a comparator, and an addressable sequential switch.

Kurzweil K2000 digital synthesis

video upload by Collector Current

"We use the Kurzweil DSP to transform a sine wave into different sounds. First a classic PWM sound using asymmetric clipping, then a harsh digital using the 'WRAP' and 'SHAPER' DSP functions.

Although there is a lot of intentional clipping in this video there is also some unintentional clipping, sorry about that. This easily happens with K2000 DSP." Soundcloud: / collector-current

John Bowen Solaris SN 00113

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"It's a monster! ..yes, it's digital.. but, when you hear a 96kHz synth.. you quickly realize.. if there IS to be a digital synth.. then 96k is where it should be.. at that frame rate.. it's not 'steppy' and a lot smoother than the 'others', IMO. I'm the only owner of this 'lonely heart'. Bought it new, back when Awave was in a tiny arcade next to South Yarra station. It was the only synth that's ever 'tricked' me.. I thought it was analog 'something'. It just sounded too 'pure'.. so, I had to have it.. unfortunately, I haven't used it as much as it deserves.

This Solaris has resided in my smoke free studio since it was purchased new. Never toured, original PSU and manual (not that the manual is much use to anyone anymore.. that is.. with the advent of the newly developed V2 OS). For those that don't know, John was instrumental working alongside the late great Dr Robert Moog, in fact, he was there, in the early 70s, working alongside Dr Bob on the original MiniMoog.. fast forward a few years.. and there he was working alongside the late great Dave Smith @ Sequential Circuits. John worked on the Prophet 5, the VS and the Sequential Sampler, the Prophet 2000.

This was shortly before Yamaha acquired Sequential and retrenched the staff, yep.. that old chestnut.. and John went on to work at Korg where he was behind the WaveStation (basically he took his knowledge of the Korg VS and threw it into the WaveStation, as some might already be aware of). So, with all that history under his belt.. when it was time for John, whom I refer to as 'synth god', John started development on the Solaris.The Solaris is the culmination of all his passed work and synth experience, despite the panel often likened to the Oberheim Matrix 12, John had implemented Filters, Wave shapes, Step Sequencers, and not to forget 'Wave Sequencing' that've appeared in all his passed projects on those aforementioned classic synths, that he worked closely on with 'other' synth gods such as Dave Smith and Dr Bob Moog.

So, you could say.. the Solaris is what a 21st century synth-classic 'ought' to be. And, ultimately, that's why I wanted it, but.. I'm afraid, as good as it is.. it's more synth than I've ever needed...x10! It would be much more suited towards professional sound designers than someone who messes around with Samplers more often that not. Therefore, I'll let it go to another enthusiast.. other esteemed 'registered' owners in the Solaris forum are Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, JJ Abrams, Jean-Michel Jarre, Matt Johnson, Ty Unwin to name a few.

In a nutshell, if had a paragraph to sum it up.. it's like a Matrix-12 integrated with a WaveStation and then there's CEM, SSM, Moog and Prophet 5 'mimicked' filters and oscillator shapes... basically, loads of features and 'flavors' from every 'beast synth' before it.

Main features:
10 Voice Polyphony
4 Oscillators
4 Filters
6 Envelope Generators
4 LFO's (+1 for Vibrato)
16 Step Sequencer
Arpeggiator
8 analog outputs (4 stereo)
Digital (ADAT) Output
MIDI over DIN & USB
15 kg / 33 Lbs
Comes with the original Australian 240v external PSU"

"In this video we go trough all features of Liminal Space. In this video no audio post-processing has been done. It is as recorded.

Liminal space is Eurorack delay module that has two parallel cores that share the same repeat line. Both of these cores are based on PT2399 IC. Even though PT2399 is not an analog IC, we have made sure that Liminal space sounds and feels like classic analog delays of the past. Each of the cores has different supporting circuitry. This changes what sounds get passed through the delay and how fast they fall off. This results in unique interaction between both of the cores. We have also added Modulation input that lets you modulate both channel speeds in an eerie way that produces That nostalgic sound.

Colossus Slim | All Parts from the Slim, Live Mixdown

video upload by rezfilter

"Every sound in this session comes from the Colossus Slim. It's an older video, not high-res, but the tone comes through.

Each part was created on the Slim, then brought in and out using the built-in stereo mixer and on/off switches. No overdubs, no layering. What you’re hearing is a live balance of voices, sequenced and performed in real time.

The Slim takes up less desk space than the full Colossus Classic, and it’s designed to stack right on top—forming the Colossus Double. A serious setup if you're short on width but still want full power."
