Roland SH-1 Monosynth & RS-202 String Synth
video upload by DreamsOfWires
"Simple melodic ditty. just dusting off some oldies. SH-1 sequenced by a Korg SQ-1 in random mode. Initial drone sound is SH-1 (overdubbed), then following drone is from a sustained note on the RS-202 using the Vintage Synth Automatic Key Sustainer (electricians tape). Some verb in the mix, and delay on the SH-1.
I love vintage analogue synths, they often have a lot of character, but they also have their practical drawbacks, such as maintenance! My SH-1's sliders need some love, but the keyboard tracking's gone haywire (or should that be J-wire?) and the unfortunately named 'Bender' has transformed itself into a 'random source of uncertainty''... or a garbled note generator.
The RS-202 is working well though... so far, but changes in circumstances mean it's probably destined for the great online auction in the sky... or 'cloud'... whatever. It's a lovely-sounding thing, but like most vintage string synths, it's huge and doesn't do a lot. But, what it does do, it does well, and that chorus... Roland have a great lineage there.

Roland TR-1000 "Melodic Mode"
video upload by Maffez Synthmods
"So the idea is to fake a chromatic mode by making a sound and copying it across all instruments, then tuning these chromatically. Kinda roundabout workflow and not quite as easy as yours truly in front of an ice cream vendor, but this way the TR1000 can do polyphonic VA, FM, PCM, and even Cowbell Synth :) trwo in some morphing slider action and you get realtime sound control too!"

Roland Jd08 Psychedelic Techno Set (Multitimbral Performance)
video upload by Dylan Ferno
"I used the key range feature on the Roland Jd08 to independently sequence each Tone. As such, I was able to make drum kit presets and use it as a multitimbral 8 track groovebox to make full songs to perform in a DAWless atmospheric psychedelic acid techno live set. A brief tutorial is included in this demo as well.

This box turns sound into magic: RODEC Ministyler Demo
video upload by mylarmelodies
"Being a demo video I was very gladly hired to make explaining the RODEC & Sherman Ministyler filterbank. This is one of the best pieces of hardware I tried last year and I approached them to make this. Ministyler is like a baby stereo Sherman filterbank (yes, the '96 classic desktop filter) in a 'RODEC One' box with two slots for other 'RODEC One' modules, and is deceptive in depth despite how simple the panel looks. You'll hear it here mostly on drum machine - my favourite use I found - but also on Tenori-on & Nord Lead 2 with CV input used. It's nuts."

"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…"
