video upload by Mystic Frequencies

"There is nothing better than CME's Wireless MIDI devices known as WIDI!
I truly wish I had more of these or a multi channel WIDI setup as these are awesome! I also use a CME WIDI between my AZ-1 Keytar and Kawai SX240 making my Keytar completely cordless, no wires! A truly great product!"

Arps and acid with Midicake ARP, Arturia Minifreak, TT-303, Dreadbox Erebus, Roland TR-06, Meris LVX

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live, semi-improvised synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

Important note: Midicake sent me over the ARP for free. I rarely get free gear, though I'm very grateful when it happens. There was no expectation for me to put it in a video, and no request from Midicake other than to share my thoughts with them. That said, I really enjoyed using it and I'll be keeping it around, as it strikes a nice balance between the "plug-and-pretty" of the NDLR and the "depth and detail" of a traditional sequencer. I've still got plenty to explore with it. Thanks, Chris!

I started with the ARP, because I wanted to see what it could do. I didn't want to overload the table at first, so I took out the Minifreak, which has voices to spare. Very quickly I was creating arpeggios and sequencing lines I really liked, and easily able to customize the lines to what I was looking for, from rhythms to polymetrics to inversions etc. I started with just standard major and minor chords, but it was extremely easy to customize the chords on the eight chord buttons once I wanted some 7ths and 6ths. And to have a chord sequencer built in was extremely helpful, as it reduced the amount of gear I needed on the table.

Once I had the bones of the song structure, I filled out some more parts, with Erebus on bass and the TR-06 on drums. Finally, I felt it needed something a little gnarlier around the interlude, and luckily I'd just picked up the awesome 303 clone from Cyclone Analogic. Once that was in place, it was just a matter of shaping the song through performance parameters. The final result is pretty cool, and adds some tones, timbres, and textures I haven't been getting as much these days.

Thanks for listening.

Midicake ARP - most sequencing (i.e. for Minifreak and Erebus)
Arturia Minifreak - three synth lines
Dreadbox Erebus - bass synth
Cyclone Analogic Bass Bot TT-303 - acid bass (using its own sequence)
Meris LVX - drive and delay for TT-303
Kenton MIDI Thru - MIDI splitter/thru box"

Depeche Mode cover - live composing the TR808

video upload by Analogue Solutions

"Son's Uni project - all synths are vintage, already recorded using MC4 and live playing. Roland 100m (x4), Jupiter 8 and others. Last stage is to record in the TR808. This is synced using a Pro Solo with Sync24. Battles with old gear as usual - the Fill button on the TR808 is temperamental and sometimes doesn't trigger the fills."

Yamaha CS-15 Controlled by Kenton Pro Solo MK3

video upload by Bata

"Some noodling using the Nord Wave as a midi keyboard and a Kenton Pro Solo MK3 to control a Yamaha CS-15. This allows you to set the note priority, portamento type, and bend range as well mix an LFO in with the pitch CV for adding pitch modulation from the Nord's aftertouch. Overall it makes the CS-15 way more playable and works great for sequencing."

"Korg PS-3100 analogue, polyphonic semi-modular synthesizer

Thoroughly and carefully restored to its original glory in solid Walnut case.

Two small scuffs on the top of the case (see photos) but as it’s actual wood and not a veneer, it’s easily buffed out if you’re particular about such things. Otherwise in excellent condition, clean, working perfectly.

Kenton MIDI installed"

Yamaha CS-70M Polyphonic Synthesizer SN w/ Kenton MIDI & Book of Voice Strips SN 1223

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

via this auction

"All photos are of the actual synth, the first couple are professional photos, the later ones are what I took.

It has Kenton midi and an original book of voice strips with spares. Some of the factory strips no longer have the data, just too old I guess. See the image for which ones are intact, green is good, red is dead.

The voice card wave shaper chips were hand-selected for perfect sine wave tone color-matching. It has a rebuilt power supply, new copper EMI shielding, an added cap mod that eliminates digital noise during certain operational modes, Key Code cable, updated CMOS proms from the old NMOS, new processor, new envelope timing film caps and more. The battery holder has been replaced with a new unit as someone didn't change the cells frequently enough. The midi output cable was adapted the Key Code connector using spare pins so no holes were drilled into the synth for the midi interface (horrors). Fully calibrated, looks and sounds glorious.

There are three blemishes to the finish shown in the last three images; a "rub mark" on the upper left shoulder (can only be seen in the right light), a small chip in the front veneer underneath the right top shoulder, and a small nick in the paint. Other than those three dings the synth looks like it's new. No paint issues or other wood issues."

Roland MC-202 Micro Composer Analog Synthesizer with Kenton Socket Mod

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

via this auction

"Fabulous analogue sequencer and synthesizer. For me its main strength is as a desktop SH101..LFO not quite as featured and no noise but it’s effectively a SH101 with a MC4 2 channel sequencer added! This has the added Kenton MOD which adds CV & gate (& filter) that bypasses the internal sequencer. Why is this important seeing as the MC202 already has some CV/gate sockets?? Well, the factory CV/Gate sockets are great for connecting to other synths in order to control them with the MC202 Sequencer. However, if you want to use the MC202 synth with an external sequencer it doesn’t; work so well and it is a little laggy as everything has to go via the MC202 in built sequencer brain which is probably 1kb! Kenton made this mod specifically so you can controller the MC202 synth engine from an external source. I used it with a SQ1 and Analogue Solutions Mega City step sequencer - much easier than the in built one!!!! Having said that the inbuilt sequencer is powerful once you get your head around it - 2 channels of CV/gate out and clock out and DIN sync out."

"This Jupiter 8 is in great working condition and was just serviced and calibrated.

New Kenton midi kit freshly installed, pro job by our in-house tech. However, the previous owner attempted the midi mod and hacked out the rear panel in the process (hence the large metal plate and missing ROLAND logo). DCB port has also been removed.

Cosmetically the synth is in very good condition despite the rear panel. The keys are in great shape and are very white. All buttons are functioning fine and it sounds incredible as usual!

Includes original manual and flight case."

"Tom Oberheim SEM with Patch Panel. Also included is a Kenton Midi to CV Converter so that you can use any synth, controller with Midi, or DAW to connect into the SEM. It is in full working condition, No issues, looks great as well. These are very hard to find used, Tom no longer makes these. They are every bit as awesome and authentic as a classic 70s SEM. These new versions are obviously more reliable and dialing in settings is more accurate than the originals."
