"This is a unique opportunity to buy a monster synth, that is also a piece of synth pop history. Two cabinets plus the original keyboard, all lids, interconnection cables and original manual included. The first cabinet is a Roland System-700 Lab is one of the rarest and most sought-after modular synthesizers ever built.
Introduced in 1976 as part of Roland’s legendary System-700 series, the Lab version was designed as a compact, self-contained modular laboratory for advanced sound design, research, and education — but with the same discrete analog circuitry, massive sound, and build quality as the full studio system.

This one was owned by Bill Vorn, keyboardist of the synth-pop band Rational Youth, used in the following albums dated 1981 to 1983 : Rational Youth, Saturdays in Silesia, City of Night and I want to see the light, as reported in the certification signed by Bill Vorn himself, provided in the item. The second one is another original SYS 700 one, connected and internally cabled to the main one by means of the original cable, with the super rare modules that you see in the picture: an additional, multimode filter, the great output module and… a professionally custom module with a perfect ARP 2600 VCF clone… plus other stuff.

All the best Sys 700 modules, featuring the iconic vintage Roland tone — warm and incredibly dynamic — and offers an extraordinary range of sonic possibilities thanks to its flexible patch architecture. Perfect for collectors, professional studios, or synth enthusiasts looking for a centerpiece instrument with historical and musical significance. The system sports a comprehensive modular architecture with 3 oscillators, 2 filters, 2 VCAs, 6 envelopes (!), mixer, phaser, spring reverb (HUGE) and …utilities.

Legendary System-700 sound — powerful basses, evolving textures, experimental tones. What to say more? Fully functional and in very good cosmetic condition with minor signs of use. You will never find another in such condition. Last call…"

NE555 Counterless sequencer - 3: Radio buttons, transpose function, final assembly, and a demo video

video upload by organfairy

"The demo is in 3 parts: Manual mode 4:15, Sync mode 9:46, and external mode 14:07

'Radio buttons' is an expression used for a row of buttons where a button stays down when you press it. You press another button and the first one will pop up again while the other button stays down.
It is possible to make such a device with simple pushbutttons and a few logic gates instead of the complicated (and expensive) mechanical locking switches. This is what I explore in the beginning of this video - and it is actually exploring since I haven't used the concept before so I didn't know if it would actually work. I do know that the old Moog Taurus bass synthesizer used a similar idea for its preset buttons.

The music is also a kind of exploration project since I decided for the first time to (over)use the portamento function on my Elka X-30 organ in an arrangement. Apart from the organ I also use my Roland JV-35 for some of the parts"

Darkwave Futurepop Trance | Peak + Minilogue XD + Micromonsta 2 + Blofeld | Dawless Live Jam 19

video upload by STEHRÆON

"Live jam performed on my full hardware setup.

This one moves between darkwave futurepop, trance and a slight EBM edge, with a melancholic atmosphere and a strong forward pulse.

I was inspired by artists like VNV Nation, Covenant, Angels & Agony, Apoptygma Berzerk and Assemblage 23.

The Novation Peak really shines in this jam, carrying much of the emotional depth, harmonic movement and overall character of the track.

Rig: Novation Peak, Korg Minilogue XD, Micromonsta 2, Waldorf Blofeld, Roland TR-6S, Novation Circuit Tracks (sequencing only), recorded raw to Tascam Model 12.

Full uncut take.

All performed live, no DAW, no edits."

Not Just an Update… JE-8086 Keeps Getting Better

video upload by Autodafe

"JE 8086 by The Usual Suspects just received a new update… and this is not your typical 'couple of presets and done' kind of release.

In this video I take a closer look at version 2.2.2, focusing not only on the obvious new features, but also on the many improvements happening behind the scenes — the kind of work that really makes a difference when you actually use a plugin every day.

From the new centralized Settings panel to the redesigned MIDI Learn system, this update brings meaningful workflow improvements, including:
🔹 A new centralized Settings panel (MIDI, DSP, Audio, GUI)
🔹 A completely reworked MIDI Learn system with auto-detection (absolute/relative)
🔹 A visual MIDI Learn overlay mode for faster mapping
🔹 New high-quality and lo-fi resampler modes
🔹 DSP optimizations for better performance and efficiency
🔹 Improved parameter linking with safer behavior
🔹 Enhanced patch management and MIDI integration
🔹 A wide range of bug fixes improving stability and usability

If you had issues with previous versions, this might be a good time to give it another try.

Also worth keeping an eye on the bigger picture: many of these improvements are happening at the framework level, which means we’ll likely see them extended to other instruments from the same project in the future.

What I like about The Usual Suspects approach is the steady, continuous development — not just adding features, but refining the instrument over time.

FREE SYNTH: ULTRAMASTER KR-106 (Roland Juno-106 and Juno-6 emulation) - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing ULTRAMASTER KR-106, a FREE software emulation of the Roland Juno-106 and Juno-6 which brings back to life these iconic synthesizers!

The KR-106 is more than just another emulation — it’s carefully crafted by reverse engineering using hardware measurements, firmware analysis, and original factory schematics to deliver an authentic Juno-style experience.

The architecture, signal flow, and character closely follow the original hardware, making this one of the most faithful Roland Juno-106 and Juno-6 recreations currently available in software form.

More info here:
https://kayrock.org/kr106/

GitHub page:
https://github.com/kayrockscreenprint...

In this demo I will just let you hear what the developers have made for this stunning plugin simply by scrolling and playing some of its 128 beautiful presets.

Some specs:
1984 Mode: all parameters calibrated from firmware analysis and factory schematics;
1982 Mode: analog CV path modeled from circuit analysis and hardware measurements;
6-Voice Poly: per-voice DCO, VCF, VCA, and ADSR envelope. Shared LFO, HPF, chorus, and arpeggiator. Mono, Poly I, and Poly II key modes with portamento;
128 Factory Presets: all original patches decoded from factory SYSEX data, no hand tweaking;
IR3109 VCF: 4-pole TPT OTA cascade with expo converter saturation and resonance self-oscillation .2x oversampled;
MN3009 BBD Chorus: bucket-brigade delay modeled with Hermite interpolation, charge-well saturation, and modulated bandwidth filter;
Analog Variance: per-voice component tolerances model the subtle differences in pitch, envelope timing, VCA gain, and pulse width that give analog polysynths their character;
Free & open source;
Available as AU, VST3, CLAP, LV2, and standalone;
And much more...
