"Black Corporation ISE-NIN Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer, expertly crafted and inspired by the iconic Roland Jupiter-8. This 8-voice synthesizer offers the same lush, warm analog tones that made the Jupiter-8 legendary, with advanced modern features to take your sound even further. It boasts polyphonic aftertouch for expressive, nuanced performances, MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) for cutting-edge articulation, and microtuning capabilities that allow you to explore non-traditional scales and harmonies. This unit, the 38th ever produced by Black Corporation, was professionally assembled from a DIY kit by a technician. It remains in brand-new, mint condition, having never been used. If you’re looking for a synthesizer that delivers the best of analog warmth with the flexibility and control of modern technology, this is the instrument for you. With its rare production number, it’s not only a powerful creative tool but also a valuable collector’s piece. Don't miss the chance to own this stunning combination of classic and modern synthesis."

"Eight-voice polysynth from the wonderful Black Corporation, inspired by the Elka Synthex, but going on its own journey from that start point. Boxed, virtually mint, with it looks like all the paraphernalia that came in the box (no manual - available online of course). UK and other power adaptors. We missed out photo-ing the box, but it is in excellent shape. We'll cover it with card to keep it that way: 3GBP."

Modulation 'Masterclass'


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"First of all, I put 'masterclass' between quotes because I am not a master. I can call myself an 'expert' after +10.000 hours of patching but that's no guarantee for good information. However, you wouldn't be interested in watching modulation basics either. So my 'masterclasses' are more like sitting around the campfire, telling ghost stories, and we're all equal.

I've been inspired by a subscriber, who pointed to his beloved Rossum Trident/Triton as his/her/their favorite VCO. I looked it up, decided there's too much overlap with my THREE-BODY VCO, but noticed something interesting called 'Zing modulation'. It's a recipe based on ring modulation, with the simple trick of syncing the carrier and modulator. Dave wrote he may have been the first person who ever used the term 'hard-sync', but credited the technology to Serge Tcherepnin. Suddenly I was lost and inspired in a new world of modulation I did not know about. Since it's a recipe instead of a circuit, we can all use it as long as your VCO has a Sync input, and you have a ringmod in your case. If you don't, get one. It's an essential piece and it costs nothing.

I can't explain Zing modulation (ZM) without Ring modulation (RM) without thru-zero amplitude modulation (AM) and when the bloody TZ comes along I am aways reminded that I am still clueless about thru-zero FM. I've seen good, bad and no explanations about TZFM. I know it preserves pitch, it's been restricted to digital - but now it's also possible with analog - and it needs to be supported by the VCO. You can't seem to patch it up, the VCO should do it. I have a problem with things that can't be done. It's not that I am stubborn, an important aspect of creativitiy is to never give up. And to be confident you'll figure it out eventually. Thanks to Dave Rossum's recipe, I wondered if I could ringmod my modulator VCO before it goes to my principal VCO's LIN-FM. It can't possibly be amplitude modulation anymore.
I experimented with ring-modulating the modulator with an inverted version of itself, so it would flip polarity and go thru-zero. I don't know if this qualifies as true thru-zero so I call it WTFM.

Anyway, this video can keep you busy for weeks. Happy Patching!
Robert.

Ambient analog jam w/ Prophet Rev2, Deckard's Dream, Moog Minitaur, Mother 32


video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

It had been a while since I had a bunch of synths on the table all at once. This one took a few different approaches before I got it. In particular, I spent a lot of time trying to find the right sequencer. I thought this would be a semi-generative piece, and tried a couple of hardware sequencers to that effect, but ultimately I found myself wanting more control. With much more time spent playing piano these days, maybe my days of generative sequencers are slowing down?

So in the end, with only a day before I was heading out of town, I decided to compose a piece in my DAW instead. And you know what? It was the right choice. Sometimes working in the box is the better way to go.

The other obstacle was my arpeggio synth. At first I had the MSW810, which is a sort-of SH-101 clone. But ultimately it was either too bright or too dull, and I couldn't get the envelopes right. I put the Mother 32 on the table and was immediately struck with how beautiful and perfect the sound of this synth is. It's such a beauty for arpeggios, and struck that perfect balance for filter and envelope, brightness and darkness. I just love the Mother 32.

Ultimately this came out sounding like a remix of the theme song for an 8-bit video game, which makes sense since that music fostered my love of synths.

Thanks for listening.

Deckard's Dream and Ring Mod


video upload by Mostly Synths and Keyboards (Logan)

"Some clips of my Deckard's Dream synth using 4 different ring mods (Rachael, Moog MF-102, Behringer 2600, and Melda Production M Ring Mod). My favorite overall is the Moog but the Rachael is better suited to this since it has a built-in envelope.

I tried to use some performance aspects to modulate the ring mod such as velocity, mod wheel, aftertouch, and pedals. This is an area I'd like to explore further. It's a challenge to get ring mod to sound good past the AM settings but I tried a few different things here."

Black Corporation Deckard's Dream soundscape - Where electric dreams escape imagination


video upload by MIDERA

"The Black Corporation Deckard's Dream. Sometimes, you may hear something cut in and out. That is MIX I, which, for whatever reason (one that evades me) I cannot figure out the source of this issue. I think it happens twice, so my apologies for that.

This was really the first time I played with this. You should understand that this is not really a simple synthesizer to figure out. I know it is based on the CS-80, but whoever designed that had some interesting ideas about how to name and how to make sliders function (sometimes down is up?). I don't know how to feel about that.

The sound from this thing is quite interesting - but I'll let you judge for yourself on what you think of it.
