The Joy of Adding A Compact Analog Synthesizer To Your Setup


video upload by EZBOT

"In this video, I explore the pure joy of adding a compact analog synthesizer to a modern Elektron setup. Pairing the Digitakt II and Digitone II with the Sequential Take 5 desktop unlocks a whole new level of warmth, depth, and character. I’ll show you how this small but powerful analog poly integrates seamlessly with your grooveboxes, bringing lush pads, punchy basslines, and expressive leads into your workflow without sacrificing portability. If you’ve been wondering whether an analog synth can really elevate your hybrid setup, this video will show you exactly why it’s worth it."

DARK AMBIENT | SOLAR 42


video upload by ELTA music

"SOLAR 42f is a unique experimental electro-music instrument, an analogue microtonal ambient drone machine. It will inspire you to find a new and spontaneous approach to composing music.

The instrument is oriented for live performances, creating film soundtracks, theatre soundtracks, atmospheric sounds, microtonal and background music. The instrument was inspired by early electronic musical instruments of the 1920s and 1950s, notably Leo Theremin's «Harmonium» instrument, as well as science fiction film soundtracks."

HOW TO FIX Sticky Rubberised Paint issues on a synthesizer


video upload by ranzee

I wonder if these wipes would work.

"Rubberised paint coated many synthesizer knobs, sliders and other components and were widely used in the early parts of 2010 - 2020.

A lot of these parts are degrading and a sticky surface emerges as the chemicals break down.

This video shows a temporary, quick and inexpensive solution to get you going by using talcum powder (baby powder)."

MOscar fully restored (except knobs)

"First test of the restored MOscar synth. It came to me quite dead with a loose MIDI board and a dead -5v rail, along with quite a few weird pots and strange wiring. Anyways I think it's back to normal now with a Tauntek MIDI upgrade as well."

Akai S2000 Sampler NEW OLD STOCK with Extras Including Original Box

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


via this Reverb listing

"New old stock Akai S2000 classic sampler with extras. Opened just to take pictures and to be turned on.

Includes original set of Floppy Disks (OS 2.0, MESA, Sounds Disk, Demo Sequence), SCSI, Manual in German, the Optional Original Akai 32 Mb memory expansion SIMMs, a 16 GB SD Card with preloaded 7 of the original Library Discs (vol. 1-7 ) in Image Files format ready for eg. ZuluSCSI readers. This images were created from my original Akai CD library vol. 1-7 with a Plextor Drive and are not from any uncertain web source.

Unit comes new as it was sold back then, so NO optional output expansion is present. The unit has the standard 2Mb memory fitted, the buyer will expand its memory to its maximum (32 Mb) with the new Akai SIMMs provided as pictured.

For any Akai Sampler Collector the oppurtunity to own a new unit directly from the past (so no yellowed knobs or buttons or any other sign of use)

Due to the almost-vintage nature of the item it listed in Reverb as used-mint but it is actually NEW."

Pic of the inside below.

"Clavia Nord Lead 3 with Full Pro Restoration + Custom Line Out Mod. This one has been completely rebuilt. Studio-ready, sonically enhanced, and future-proofed. 1 year warranty with Invoice.

Full PSU rebuild, including replacement of X2 safety caps (RIFA issue permanently resolved)
Complete recap with high-grade parts: Panasonic FR/HD, Kemet PEGH, Nichicon MUSE, ELNA Silmic II
Unique Line Out Mod, deliberate hardware-based character shaping at the analog output stage:
• Outputs 1–2: Silmic II – warm, smooth character

Factory-original AD1865R R–2R multibit DACs and pure analog output signal path, no oversampling, no digital filtering. Fantastic transient response, vivid mid-range, deep and punchy low end.

100% working, clean condition. This is one of the very few NL3s on the market that has had its PSU, caps, and audio path completely upgraded with longevity and sound quality in mind."
