Oberheim TEO-5 vs Sequential OB6 (Tone and filter focus, no talking no fx)


video upload by Infested Alien

"Just a super simple comparison trying to match them a bit to each other. The matching is oriented more towards OB6 since it has least modulation possibilities compared to the TEO5. When it comes to the tone character I've to say OB6 is more in my taste but we are limited with modulation on the OB6 so if you love modulation then TEO-5 is the king :)"

This one was spotted and sent in via
M Me.

From the listing (Google translated):

"The case shows virtually no signs of wear.
As far as I can tell, nothing appears to be damaged.
This is an absolute rarity!

Please note - Unfortunately, I cannot technically test the device, as I don't own a Commodore 64.

For this reason, I must sell the SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS Model 64 as 'untested' or 'unreviewed'! This sale is non-returnable!

There is some information about this device online - for example - https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/sci-model-64-sequencer/7891"

Similis - Chords


video upload by DecadeBridge

"Similis is a lofi synthesiser that has 6 different presets.

This is an example of the 'chord' preset.
The first control sets the root note of the chord. The second selects 1 of the 10 chords available (5 major variations and 5 minor). The third control sets the volume of the notes that make up the chord except the root. Each of these controls has a CV input.
Here the root note is controlled by the keystep pitch. The VCA is being gated by the keysteps gate out. The volume of the chord notes are controlled using the mod wheel."

https://decadebridge.etsy.com/



"Similis is a lofi chip tune synthesiser that uses basic waveforms to generate it's sound.

Features:-
6 different settings (TYPE) from stacked oscillators to chords to self sequencing.
The setting selection can also be stepped using a trigger/gate signal for some odd patch skipping.

Each control can also has a CV input for connecting external gear.

Settings 1-3 deal with stacked oscillators.
3 oscillators with independent pitch. Sine, Saw and Triangle waves.
3 stacked oscillators. The first sets the root note and the other two are detuned plus and minus from the root.
The two detuned oscillators can be faded in.
Chords. The first oscillator sets the root note. The second control sets the chord (5 major chord variations and 5 minor) The amount of voices in the chord can be altered using switch C. The chord notes can be faded in to give a swell effect.
Settings 4-6. Simple sequencing.
The last three patches are random sequencers. The first is free running. Select between, chromatic, major and minor scales. The range and rate of the sequence can be altered and a second oscillator can also be brought into the sound.
The last two patches substitute the rate control as a mix for other voices. A short trigger signal is needed to tell Similis to choose a new random note/s within it’s selected scale.

The output is run through a 3 position passive LPF which turns into a Low pass gate when the VCA switch is down and a CV signal is connected to the VCA input."

Dreamy Soundscapes: Prophet Rev2 Meets Hologram Microcosm


video upload by Le Code

"The Prophet Rev2 produces such organic, warm sounds that it only needs a few effects to transport us into space. The notes are multiplied by the Hologram Microcosm, while the Strymon Big Sky adds depth to the whole : it's an ambient melody.

Yamaha ED20 Sample Pack Demo - Lovingly recorded from a rare drum pad synthesizer


video upload by Edward Jones

"You can buy a sample pack of all sounds recorded dry and lowest pitch from the unit. The samples are possibly 12 bit internally. I cannot work out how to open up the machine without destroying it (hence that small tear on the drum head)/

https://loscha.bandcamp.com/album/yam...



Each sample has been normalized. The actual sample playback volumes on the machine were erratic. They were triggered using the PAD IN terminal at the back and triggered from the DAW so the samples would be time aligned and sightly easier to chop."

1010music bento ~ The Sampling Synthesizer and Sequencing Workhorse


video upload by RetroSound

"supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

Last week arrived my prize from the Keyboards Synthesizer competition. 🙂 Some of you voted for me. Yes, no vintage synthesizer. :D I promised I would make a demo. And here we are.

Call me crazy, but I couldn't tear myself away from it all weekend. I loaded all my drum machine samples from the last 30 years into the box, along with waveforms from my synthesizers. This thing is a sound and performance monster. Even as a sampling drum machine alone, it's worth its weight in gold. Sampling with extensive editing options such as slicing, chopping up samples, multi-sampling , real-time and step sequencing, granular synthesis, etc. Everything under one roof. Bento works scene-based like Ableton Live, for example, which means you first build the individual components and then put everything together into a song at the end. The advantage of this is that you can rebuild and rearrange the song in real time over and over again.
It's still in the early stages of development and updates are coming out all the time, but even in its current state, Bento is super awesome.

here is the bento:
0:06 Intro
0:18 Sample Processing
1:08 Granular
1:36 Track Programming
2:47 RetroSound Demo Song 1 (Electro)
3:56 RetroSound Demo Song 2 (Synthwave)
5:29 Drum Sample Processing

RetroSound synthesizer demo videos since january 2007.
Everything is free. If you like my work, you can also support me with the purchase of my merchandise stuff or my music.

"Rare and interesting percussion synth from Waldorf, made in Germany in the 90s, and not very often seen anywhere else but Germany. Very good condition, with UK power supply. VEMIA can collect and pack: 12GBP."

Jellinghaus DX Programmer - super-rare but n/w

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


via this VEMIA listing

"This is a beautiful original DX Programmer - one knob pointer bit missing, and a little messy round the mains inlet, but otherwise lovely. Unfortunately like one or two others we have had, non-functional. In our experience, pretty easily fixable - but you then have to make sure that it has a firm base to sit on, so it can't flex. UK/Euro mains. Provide your own IEC lead. VEMIA can collect and pack: 30GBP."

Crumar Bit One

via this VEMIA listing

"Rare MIDI polysynth from Crumar with, for the time (1985), revolutionary styling - very sleek, minimalist and elegant. Recently serviced and sounding great. In very nice well-looked-after cosmetic condition. These early versions are missing some of the features of the Bit 99 but are generally considered to sound better - surprise surprise. This machine is 110V, so you'll need a simple external US transformer if your voltage is different. ***PLUS VAT FOR UK BUYERS*** Packing 15GBP to include a US mains lead."

Alien Intercomm x0xb0x xoxbox TB-303 clone + mods

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


via this Reverb listing

"This is an xoxbox built poorly by Alien Intercomm. The sequencer seems very buggy, patterns self-erasing, self-changing & sometimes patterns cannot be created, seems like a problem with the O.S.?.. but i'm no expert at either using a 303 sequencer or building 303 clones. The Headphones output is messed up, it has a lot of crackling, random & sudden volume changes & frequency changes so it will most likely need to be replaced. The Main output sounds good. All knobs and buttons function properly but the buttons are recessed lower than they should be. All parts of the synth engine function as they should. I have not tested the MIDI/DIN sync/gate/cv ports. Includes the original power supply. This is a great repair project for anyone with the ability & knowledge to do so or to use for parts for other x0xb0x's."

Minimal house session with CyDrums, Moog One & Nord Lead : Put up 2025-10-13 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SONICWARE‬ CyDrums, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, and ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead — a hand-played minimal house track built around an even kick groove.

CyDrums provides the even kick, short-decay hi-hats, and toms. The sound is processed with filter and reverb using the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, and compression is added via the ALESIS 3630.

The Moog One performs the bassline, while the Nord Lead handles the harmony. The Nord Lead runs through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for reverb."
