After October - Panharmonium/Metropolix

video upload by davidryle

"The Intellijel Metropolix sequencer making a dual pattern to a pair of Q206 VCO's. The filters were the Dove D502 Multi-Mode VCF and the Corsynth C110 2044 VCF. They go into the Lower West Side Studios (Yusynth) Panning Mixer then into the Rossum Electro-Music Panharmonium Mutating Spectral Resynthesizer.

The Panharmonium splits the signal to two destinations. The main voice is sent to the TipTop Audio Z-DSP with the Halls of Valhalla plate reverb. The FX voice is sent to the Make Noise Soundhack Erbe Verb reverb.

The Bass part is the Q960 sequential Controller into a pair of Q106 VCO's and The Oakley Sound Systems Diode Super Ladder filter. The on to the Synthetic Sound Labs Digital Delay and Tube VCA.

The fluttering noise effect is the Dove Audio WTF Oscillator in noise mode to the Moon Modular 517S in High Pass on to the Modcan 73B Dual Delay and the Echo Fix tape echo/reverb."

PlantsSystem-SpaceEcho

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem self-cover 'Space Echo' is an electronic track that reimagines a past work from a new perspective. Produced solely using Korg music production app 'Gadget' this track is characterized by the depth and floating feeling of sound born in a digital space.

While preserving the original's melody and structure, the track redesigns the rhythm and texture to create a new soundscape that seems to float in zero gravity.

The 'echoes' of reflective electronic sounds exude PlantsSystem's signature delicate sound creation and spirit of exploration."

Sequential OB 6 Custom sounds (another one)

"I recently started to love the OB6 a lot. I think it has a nice sound for the electronic chill out and EDM. Anyone wondering why it's so overexposed in the video, thats because I messed up with the HDR on post editing."

EMS Universal Sequencer driving Roland MC-202 and SH-101

video upload by analogia pl

"One 'layer' of Universal Sequencer sequences the MC-202 and the other 'layer' is used to play the SH-101 live.

I don’t know what it is with EMS, but each time you get to play one of their quirky and unusual designs, you get a new kind of feeling — as if these sometimes bulky and obsolete electronics are very much alive.

Let’s be frank: there are a million simpler ways to play an SH-101 or an MC-202. But somehow, using the Universal Sequencer makes those classic synths feel completely different."

EMS Universal Sequencer externally triggered

video upload by analogia pl

"Let’s get nerdier. Someone asked if the Universal Sequencer can be triggered from the outside world. Of course it can! What I did here was a recording a sequence into the Uniseq that would play the MC-202, switched trigger to external, then recorded a sequence into the SH-101 and use gate out from 101 to externally trigger in of the Uniseq. It works like a charm."

Serge’s 1979 ÷NCOM - It Compares, Counts, Waits, Fires and It Always Rises

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I bought the #Serge #NCOM in the blind because a) it's the work of a living legend, b) I had no idea what it did, and c) after reading the manual and looking on YouTube I still had no idea how to use it in real life music.

The ÷NCOM is short for pulse divider (by N steps), a comparator (gate goes high where +IN is higher than -IN) and last but not least, a staircase CV is raised one semitone when the compare goes high and the max steps N is not reached. So now you know, and just like me, it still remains a mystery how it can play a role in modular music.

÷NCOM is from 1979, and quantized CV was rare, especially when it's derived from any two compared voltages. It's using two CMOS chips, but only 5 of 8 bits were used (step 0 to 31 = 32 values). So is it early digital? Yes, but without a CPU or code and state of the art precision - for 1979. Is it still relevant in 2025? I am not sure how many voltage comparators are around in eurorack, and you probably never needed one. A staircase CV waveform is simply a matter of running a ramp through a quantizer, and you may be able to use an END of RAMP event on a Maths clone. The ÷NCOM circuit is often used for rhythmic patches, and the staircase is super useful to make synchronized ramps you can use to open a filter or wavefolder. Not to mention arpeggios. It's the opposite of high-tech, it's low tech. A circuit you need to learn, discover and find use for. It was special in 1979, and today it's part of the joy of owning a true Serge module that can always do more than you think."

LFO, Sequencer, Keyboard, Controller in a very small form factor: "Phantasmal Force"

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"Distropolis Goods ( https://distropolisgoods.com/ ) sent me the Phantasmal Force MIDI controller and the Great Conjunction FM synthesizer/sequencer for review. In this video, I walk through the build process, explore the UI, and demo each mode in detail. Spoiler alert: the PF controller is worth a closer look.

Whether you're into modular MIDI setups, CC sequencing, or FM synthesis with a twist, this hands-on overview covers both devices in depth—without the hype.

Roland SH-3

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

via this Reverb listing

"A special early synth from Roland in overall great functional condition, with two exceptions note below. Cosmetically the control panel and keyboard area are in nice shape, but the case is pretty beat up, with bad latches, missing metal piping on one side, bent piping on the other side, and a missing power cord door. According to the previous owner, this unit actually went out on tour with a pop band in the 70's, and it shows. As you probably know, the SH-3 gave way to the more common SH-3A, with the most noticeable change being the switch from the SH-3's diode ladder filter to the the SH-3A's transistor ladder filter.

I've thoroughly tested all functions, pots, sliders, and jacks and here are the two functional issues I've observed:

The output and headphone jacks are scratchy and presumably need to be cleaned. It's easy to get an output cable or headphones seated and working, however you may have to twist the plugs in the jacks or reinsert them to get a good contact.
There is some bleed-through from the square/sine LFO that's present in the audio path, most noticeable at quieter volumes or at higher registers. It's not difficult to set up a sound where the bleed-through is either not noticeable or barely noticeable, particularly with everything running loud and with lower waveforms engaged. I have access to another SH-3 that has the same problem (but worse), so I suspect this may be a problem that Roland engineered out of later the SH-3A circuitry, but I can't be sure. Regardless, this is something you may want to attend to at some point should you find it bothersome.
In addition, the 8' "chorus" setting on this and the other SH-3 I've played is noticeably more intense than the SH-3A's I've played, so I suspect this is another feature that Roland tweaked when shifting to the SH-3A circuits.

I recently put $730 into having the synth partially serviced by a noted synth tech, which included:

Fixing an issue whereby the waveform sliders were interacting with each other and significant bleed-through of some waveforms was present.
Cleaning the keyboard and eliminating some squirrely notes and double triggering that had been present.
Replacing some capacitors.
Better securing base of the power cable.
Cleaning a scratchy sider.
So in selling this I'm mostly trying to break-even on those repairs, plus make a little to cover Reverb's fees."

Black Corp Kijimi MK2 sound exploration no talking

video upload by Ken Flux Pierce Fluxwithit

"Kijimi MK2 has landed in the studio and I am enjoying exploring its capabilities, quirks and raw analog sounds. This video is a no talking pretty raw exploration. exploring modulation and creating custom presets. All sounds were created from INIT to give a fresh slate.

Kijimi MK 2 is an 8 voice analog synth inspired by the RSF Polykobal from Black Corp's website

DEEP 8-VOICE ARCHITECTURE
Each of KIJIMI ’s 8 voices features 2 analog oscillators each with a square sub-bass oscillator, for buttery timbres with extensive sound design options. The sub-oscillator produces an octave lower than the combined VCO1 and VCO2 outputs, meaning you can tune two sub-pitches. Hard sync is available in VCO sync and VCO1-2 and 2-1 configurations for maximum flexibility. There’s also a noise source for adding bite and percussion components. A rich lowpass filter is built around the legendary 2140 chip and the ability to frequency-modulate it via VCO2, creates a full range of sounds from metallic and aggressive to subtle. Both filter cutoff and resonance are available as modulation destinations."
