ASM Hydrasynth TouchOSC Bidirectional Editor v5.0 & 64 Patches by synth_nyc

via synth_nyc

"Please find here 64 ASM Hydrasynth Custom Patches [Bank 1] created from scratch with my editor"

You can listen to them in high resolution (24bit 96kHz PCM WAV masters, FLAC encoded) on my site (optimized for Chrome on MacOS and Windows).

or in low resolution on my bandcamp. [embed below]

All recorded at 24bit 96kHz PCM on UAD Apollo X hardware with mainly UAD FX.

I have 4 fully digital synthesizers and I crafted patches for all 4:
Beetlecrab Audio Tempera
Waldorf Music Iridium desktop
Fred’s Lab Manatee
ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe

The Hydrasynth is the most challenging (IMHO) to find a sweet spot; however I’m pleased with this bank and I think there are some unique sounds in it."

Additional Analog U.S. Listings

"This set is in very good condition and working 100%. It has just been professionally serviced and with some restoration. It has a custom foot-switch installed so you will never need to clean the pedal contacts again. This modification (not visible) uses the original connector and has no ugly, irreversible holes drilled into the unit. It is completely reversible if you want to put it back to stock. It will be properly packaged when sold and will arrive in the condition as stated. Not sold as-is! Proof of the actual shipping cost will be provided if needed. Although this listing is marked as a US sale only, I will ship to most countries. If you're overseas and interested, please send me a message.

Cosmetically- Nothing is mint in my opinion and this one is no exception. Apart from chassis and pc boards being cleaned up, all of the black anodized screws have been replaced and the pedals have been cleaned/ polished.

Internally- Apart from any repairs, the unit has been disassembled and cleaned, all sliders, switches, jacks, and potentiometers have been cleaned (no scratchy sliders or knobs when moved), all electrolytic capacitors replaced including the power supply, the power supply voltage regluator & power transistors replaced, all screws and hardware tightened, has a new custom foot-switch assembly installed, and its been completely scaled & calibrated. I might be forgetting a few things so this may be updated."

X1L3 - THE WRETCHED - circuit bent drum machine - eurorack module - final rev test

video upload by X1L3

"Testing the first complete unit of the first build run.
Placed in my rig as my personal unit to replace the solder bridged and wires around the back mess that i used for fault finding and tweaking that's lived in my rig for over a year.

No frills demo cycle - just the machine lazily cruising along doing a good impression of a circuit bent Yamaha DD drum machine without using the resonant filter and ruiner sections that were a part of my old circuit bending works. Using those things are where you can really go dark and mess things up, but you don't necessarily need them to do the whole 90s drum rompler bent thing.

You could probably do a lot worse than use this as your go to circuit bent drum machine, but to use it as your main driver in a track is i think a matter of taste. If you don't mind your drums sounding like they're done on an Amiga tracker, which i don't, then it works. If fidelity is your thing i'd probably pair it up with something a bit more hifi to pin down the 8 bit cronch.

Anyone familiar with a circuit bent and midi retrofitted Yamaha DD will know how close this thing is at recreating the sound of one. Except it does what they do better, with more control, more finesse, and without the annoying toy footprint of one of those machines. A circuit bent Yamaha DD14 was used heavily in the creation of what this module has become.

I'd go head to head with a flag ship bent TR505/707 with this thing and feel pretty confident in coming out the other side on top. It takes all that is good about a bent drum machine and leaves behind the compromise that's often inherent to them.

Will be released when the Alleykat SID module is complete. Alleykat, the AY/YM chip module and this will all come out at the same time. I'm taking time out to have a break and chill before i put these new machines out there."

"I don't know what I was doing making this - honestly, I just sat there and played some stuff. Whatever it is, I hope you enjoy a little bit of it.

The first thing I play is a (poorly done) version of "Bone Bottom" from Silksong. Everything else is just messing around."

"This is a very rare silver Revolution rev2 limited to i think 9 made. Hand signed & numbered by the creator of Future Retro himself, Jered Flickinger & it was sold exclusively through Nova Musik at the time. Additionally, this specific one was previously owned by Chicago House DJ Derek Carter, a certificate of authenticity is included in the sale. As for the synth itself, the resonance, cutoff & volume pots are a little bit scratchy sounding & probably need a good contact cleaning at best or replacement at worst. Everything else functions perfectly..."

"The Yamaha QX1 is one of the most advanced and rare digital sequencers from the early 1980s, designed for professional studio use.

It features eight independent MIDI tracks, precise timing, and an exceptionally stable clock, making it a benchmark in early MIDI sequencing. Even today, it is valued for its reliability and straightforward, hands-on workflow.

The unit has passed all standard system tests, including a fully functional floppy drive.

Very good cosmetic condition: one small dent on the front panel (see photos) and a few minor scratches.

The display glass and screen are perfect, as are the keyboard and keypad.

Internally clean, with capacitors in excellent condition and very limited use over time.

Includes two floppy disks as a bonus.

A rare, well-preserved, and fully working piece of gear."

Tre Modular - Replicant RM Demo

video upload by Tre Modular

"Replicant RM is a ring modulator based on the legendary Yamaha CS80. At its core is the same analog architecture that gave the CS-80 its character. We’ve built it around the MC1496 IC, a modern alternative to the original uA796 used in CS80.

Just like the original, Replicant RM includes its own dedicated VCO. It offers both sine and square waveforms. Sine delivers a clean, pure tone that defined the CS80’s ring mod sound. Square adds grit and harmonic complexity. The oscillator features two speed modes and a dedicated output.

We’ve also included a built-in Attack/Decay envelope generator, another key part of the CS-80’s ring mod section. It can be gated or looped, and has two speed modes for shaping everything from bell-like tones to rhythmic pulses. The envelope also features two speed modes and a dedicated output.

If you want That sound that`s part of what made CS80 legendary, now you can have it.
