"Selling my Wave Waldorf (the standard 16 voices / 61 keys / blue model), with usual hydraulic cylinder failure, and, sadly, paintwork also started to deteriorate seriously (especially on the right side). Apart from that, Synth is perfectly functional, with fan replaced by a silent one (noctua), floppy drive replace by a HXC floppy simulator."

"This classic synth has been extensively serviced, and is ready to be delivered or shipped to you as soon as the auction finishes. The bad point: it has one nasty mark on the front panel above the VCO-1 control section and two or three marks at the front of the modulation section, which ought really to be re-furbished sometime.
Apart from that, it is very good. Everything sounds great and works as it should, including the MIDI conversion. [VEMIA note: I used to have a JP-8 with Groove MIDI, and I thought it was the absolute best.]"

"New old stock, basically: a rare Oberheim DX and Stretch combination. Check out the internet for more info: briefly the DX was a slimmed-down but also in some ways improved version of the classic DMX - and the even rarer Stretch was then made available to add a lot more versatility and power. Incredible condition - unused since new. Provide your own IEC lead."

"Deft Audio Luma 1 Drum Computer. This is from the first run of 100 units from Deft Audio. Serial number 073. An incredible and faithful reproduction of the Linn LM1 brought back to life by Joe Britt. It has the same DACs and filters, but has a few new features to make life easier such as the ability to load your own samples via USB. Absolutely beautifully built and sounds completely authentic as you would expect from Deft Audio. Also comes with a rather huge protective case that will survive anything."

'Roland TB-3 Acid Breakbeats TB-303 Bassline' This fantastic synthesizer was a gift from my friend David Lovering of The Pixies! David has given me the POWER OF ACID! And I shall use it! In abundance! This "Touch Bassline" is the Roland AIRA version of the legendary TB-303 Bassline! And you use it with your fingers! But in this little synthesizer demo I play some preset patterns linked via Ableton LIVE to a funky Breakbeat at 120BPM."
For a long time now we have tried to live by the words of the great Michael Bolton from the movie Office Space, "why should I change when he's the one who sucks?"
But language evolves, and unfortunately, the word “grok” has taken on associations that are problematic. Oddment has evolved too. Starting from one quirky product idea, in 3 years we have grown and are now ready for manufacturing and fulfillment of this product, with ambition to make it the first among many.
So with much consternation, we have decided to drop the name groc. When we thought about a new name, we thought that what we have is a little unusual, perhaps a little outside the norm...you might even call it, the ODD-1.
This is the first in a series of videos to show all of the ODD-1's functions in more detail. In this one we show off half of the encoders that control the granular synthesis engine - the PLAYHEADS function. Here you can control the level, starting point, tuning (aka pitch adjustment) and playback speed for up to 4 different granular playheads. The auxiliary functions available on the touch screen introduce random variability in different ways.
2. ODD-1 Overview: Grains
This is the second in a series of videos to show all of the ODD-1's functions in more detail. In this one we show off the second half of encoders that control the granular synthesis engine - the GRAINS function. Here you can control the size, spacing, left-right placement, and grain window shape. Each control also has a related function, introducing grain size variability, spacing jitter, binaural scatter, and a front-back bias for the window shape. The auxiliary functions available on the touch screen control a bandpass filter that can be randomized per grain and adjust whether grain size is regulated in the source sample or in the output signal, which can have a big impact on sound characteristics.
3. ODD-1 Overview: 03 Envelopes & Time Path
This is the third in a series of videos to show all of the ODD-1's functions in more detail. In this one we show off the ENVELOPES function. Here you can control the note amplitude envelope and timing, access 3 envelopes that can be used as modulation sources, and use our unique TIME PATH feature to dynamically adapt the playback speed.
4. ODD-1 Overview 04: Sample
This is the fourth in a series of videos to show all of the ODD-1's functions in more detail. In this one we show off the SAMPLE function. Here you can choose a sample from the factory library or user-uploaded samples, control the playback mode and the section available for granulation, play and hold notes, set loop points and interact with pitch, tempo and channel information of the sample. We also show the auto pitch and tempo alignment features.
5. ODD-1 Overview 05: LFOs, Macros, Patching
This is the fifth in a series of videos to show all of the ODD-1's functions in more detail. In this one we show off the LFOs, Macros and how to create modulation connections. There are 4 LFOs, 3 Envelopes, 4 Macros (assignable knobs), 4 Control inputs and MIDI information that can all act as modulation sources. Any parameter on the device is a parameter destination. Unlimited connections are made by holding down a destination parameter and then pressing or twisting a modulation source.
6. ODD-1 Overview 06: Filters, Saturation, Echoes
This is the sixth in a series of videos to show all of the ODD-1's functions in more detail. In this one we show off the Filters, Saturation and Echoes modules. Two filters and two saturation modules per voice, both with multiple types of processing and modulatable parameters, allow for transformation beyond the granular engine. Two echoes sections with filtering and distortion in the feedback loop and fully modulatable parameters make ODD1 worthwhile just as a modular effects rack!
7. ODD-1 Overview: 07 Layers
This is the seventh in a series of videos to show all of the ODD-1's functions in more detail. In this one we show the dual Layer functionality. Essentially the entire system is duplicated so the ODD-1 is like having a dual modular systems, each with a polyphonic granular engine feeding two filters and two non-linear processors per voice, with 3 envelopes, 1 time path, 4 LFOs, 4 Macros and a independent modulation matrix per layer. In these examples we also remind that granular can easily do subtractive-style synthesis when using a basic waveform as the source sample.
8. ODD-1 Overview 08: Reverb & System
The final video in our eight-part series on the ODD-1's functions focuses on the upper-left row where we have global volume, system-level reverb and can work with banks of patches.
The reverb is a classic matrix-style parametric reverb. Think of it like a whole set of interacting delay units with slowly modulating delay times. Ok now that you have that in mind, that's it, that's what it is. It sounds sweet.
If two layers of modulating, granular goodness with a fantastic reverb on top wasn't enough, how do banks of patches to store every twist and connection sound?

What’s in a name?
For a while now we have tried to live by the words of the great Michael Bolton from the movie Office Space, "why should I change when he's the one who sucks?"
But language evolves, and unfortunately, the word “grok” has taken on associations that are problematic.
Oddment has evolved too. Starting from one quirky product idea, we have grown in three years and are now ready for manufacturing and fulfillment of this product, with ambition to make it the first among many. And with much consternation, we have decided to drop the name groc.
When we thought about a new name, we thought that what we have is a little unusual, perhaps a little outside the norm...you might even call it, the ODD-1.
And we plan to keep that off-beat attitude. We hope that brightly-colored friends, ODD-2 and ODD-3, will be along to join ODD-1 after not too long.
Build Updates
We have a lot of exciting progress to report since the last time I wrote. Hop over to our YouTube channel to check out a build update video and some in-depth functionality demos.
We debugged and fixed several problems with the circuit board including the power-up, line input and output, and noise on the control signal inputs.
We got several bids from contract manufacturers in the U.S. and around the world and selected Soldered, based in the E.U. They came highly recommended, and we think their experience will be a huge asset as we go into production.
We worked with Martyna Alexander to tweak the graphic design of the front and back panel. We are thrilled with the updates, including our new company and product logos.
We have first iterations of our custom firmware, enabling full functionality of the device and full USB connectivity to a host computer.
We have completed first versions of the software that include all audio, MIDI and system functionality we intend to support for the release. After many months of playing and testing we re-organized a few functions to expand both the number of concurrent grain “playheads”, and to support banks of patches intended for convenient switching and management in live performance.
"[A New Dimension of Sonic Experience] Granular Looper 'cyan/n' Demo by PlantsSystem.
PlantsSystem demonstrated 'cyan/n' the revolutionary granular looper developed by sound designer Katsuhiro Chiba.
'cyan/n' is a powerful sound tool that freely manipulates short sound particles (granules) to reconstruct existing sound sources in unpredictable and organic ways. In this recording, PlantsSystem uses 'cyan/n' to create an improvised, experimental techno groove.
We explore its possibilities, from noisy, psychedelic textures to deep, ambient sounds."
"Released in 2003, this Mac app (now discontinued) was developed using Max for sample loop-based improvisation. It combined a sample slicer, granular looper, rhythm box, multi-effects, master effects, and more, allowing for real-time processing without stopping the performance. Software like this was rare at the time, and its cutting-edge concept, including its user interface, received an overwhelming response both in Japan and overseas.
release: Dec 26, 2003
last update: Sep 3, 2008
Standalone app (OSX 10.4)"
Note, this appears to be the first post to feature cyan/n.

"***notice that the theremin needs service*** Up for sale is my R.A. Moog Co. Troubador Theremin with serial number 1001. Which means it's the first one made, probably by Bob Moog himself on 3 October 1969. Unfortunately it's not working. One of the coils is broken and the power lead needs work. It's sold as-is, untested. I've been looking years for a second example to fix this one, without result so far.. Optically there are signs of use, some screws are missing, some wear and tear at the front panel and bottom plate."

"I was always a little surprised by how valuable these Simmons SDS3s are, and put it down to their extreme rarity and the wow factor of owning something from the Musicaid Simmons era. But I've been listening to what this machine can do, and I begin to see there is so much more. It is simply a genius design. The variety of sounds is stunning - it's almost like a fully-featured four-voice synth as well as a great drum synth. FM is brilliant, and the whole design (using permanently running ladder filters for the oscillators?) is mind-blowing.
This example, serial number 0072, is in perfect working order, after literally days of restoration by nLi. Cosmetically, the SDS3 itself looks great. The knobs are not original but look pretty nice, there are some small scrapes and marks on the panel and wood endcheeks, but overall it could be 8/10 especially given its age. The pads are very well used, but have been thoroughly restored and are totally functional and original.
To get more info about the SDS3, check out where Alex Ball has done his usual excellent rundown:" [posted here]

"This is a heavily modified and circuit bent Alesis HR 16. The basic idea is that you can change the eproms and then mangle the sounds into oblivion by way of the knobs and switches which create all sorts of unpredictable and fairly brutal noises. The result can be anything from utter industrial magic to unusable garbage. Comes with a number of eproms incl. Korg, Linn DMX, Roland The machine is very unstable. Sometimes it works sometimes it just doesn’t. I have no idea how to make it more stable and when it comes on and produces sound, it’s absolutely random and unpredictable. The best way to think about this is as a sample source in that you have a tape running all the time and then pick and choose the best noises that come out of it. The great thing is that you would never ever come up with these sounds if you were to program them in a targeted and controlled manner. But on the other hand, it’s of course frustrating when it doesn’t come on at all. The starting bid is set accordingly. The buyer may wish to have a technician take a look at it."

"Rare 808 drum machine clone https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/acidlab-miami An analogue clone of Roland’s TR808 for much less. Generous pattern capacity. Can switch seamlessly between pattern selection and programming. Syncs to MIDI or Roland’s Sync24 protocol. Individual outputs for every voice. COMES WITH UK 3PRONG ORIGINAL POWER SUPPLY as sent by KLAUS small print in panel has faded in places . But its not apparent much. a small scratch here and there (the one looking like a hair scratch on one pic under step 14 is actually hair and not a scratch!!) But if you look closely on the bassdrum decay konb the lettering has faded slightly. There is also an actual scratch on the LT/LC switch. things like that make it a 'near good' condition but not perfect. Its a 15+ old machine so I guess little things like that can be expected and are described upfront so no surprises. These have become quite expensive on ebay so this is a chance to get yourself a nice 808 for no primetime $$$$"

"Let's go for a 5-Minute Warning video, with some real-time guitar-like sound solo playing! 😊
0:00 - Scene 1: Intro starts with the STRINGS (JD-08), ARP (SE-02) and DRUMS (TR-6S)
0:46 - Scene 2: DRUMS knob reload for big sound + BASS (DB-01)
1:17 - Scene 3: SOLO 1 improvised (JD-08)
2:02 - Scene 4: Bridge
3:04 - Scene 5: SOLO 2 improvised (JD-08)
3:50 - Scene 6: Outro
Some tips used here:
TR6S (DRUMS): I used the 'KIT KNOB RELOAD' feature to get back to the big drum sounds as it was saved in the kit (I previously moved the knobs to pitch up/down and reduce the decay of all the sounds for the intro)
TR6S (DRUMS): the VINYL SIM effect is used on the TR6S' master bus to heavily compress the DRUMS
TR6S (DRUMS): I used the internal LFO to modulate a few parameters on the DRUM tracks to add some subtle variations
KEYSTEP PRO (Sequencer): I used the Chain feature to chain 2 patterns in order to have an 8-bar pattern for the ARP sequences
KEYSTEP PRO (Sequencer): I used the Scene feature to load different patterns and mutes in one time (to switch to the bridge for example)"

"My name is NOZ, and I was in charge of all the background music and sound effects for the FC action game "Konomi's Monster Party," released by GAME IMPACT on April 28, 2024.
This time, I arranged the game's STAGE 5 background music using an FM synthesizer.
The FM synthesizer is a YAMAHA TX816.
The TX816 is sequenced using a YAMAHA QX1.
The drums are a YAMAHA RX11.
I filmed myself playing on the actual machine before recording.
When I press the START button on the YAMAHA QX1, the YAMAHA TX816 and YAMAHA RX11 play in sync.
This music equipment, which was released in 1984, is still in use today.
The recorded sound source will be included in "Konomi's Monster Party ORIGINAL SOUNDTRAK," due for release in March 2026."
