Pics of the inside below.

"This unit was professionally serviced. The Synergy II+ is a digital additive/FM synthesizer that sounds like no other. Somewhat similar to the extremely popular Yamaha DX7, it's tone is mellower and warmer. A popular website states 700-800 were made and estimates less than 100 are in operation today. We don't know how they came up with this estimation, but this one's working great, as we just fully serviced it. Famous users include Jay Wires, Wendy Carlos, BT (crumar gds), Junkie XL and Steely Dan. Carlos used it on the Tron soundtrack and other recordings.

Previously, one needed an old Kaypro computer with special software to edit sounds, but someone recently developed an editor that can be run on a modern computer. We haven't used it yet but are really excited to. Please buy this now, before we decide to keep it!

This particular example includes the circuitry of a Kaypro or equivalent computer's CPU. (See pics) Connections were added to the back panel for the accessories, but they were not included when we purchased this item, so we were unable to test this additional computer and disconnected it during restoration, though we left it in place in case a future owner has access to accessories and wants to try to get it running (no guarantees about that though since we didn't test it). The ports on the back have not been tested as we don't have anything that hooks up to them.

There are currently a few patches that are silent, and the first one is low volume and voices change octaves in a seemingly random fashion. We suspect these patches just need to be reprogrammed. At some point, we hope to find time to download and learn the modern editing software mentioned above so we can reprogram these patches, but time is limited, so we may just leave this up to the next owner who we assume will want to load in their own patches. The patches currently in memory are a mix of organ, piano and what seem to be orchestral type sounds."

Oberwave firmware for M-Vave SMK 37 by Zvenson - ‪@sonzven‬


video upload by Stefan Dahl

You can find the M-Vave SMK on Amazon.

"A sound demo of the Oberwave firmware for the SMK 37. Early beta, but sounds very, very nice, with the exception of a few presets where the decay seems to be set to zero by some bug. Both pitch and modulation wheels work as they should. A few patches with high CPU usage have a slight input lag. In this version the last four knobs duplicate the four sliders. This firmware has amazing potential!"

Midicake UNA Sart MIDI Arpeggiator - SonicLAB Presentation

video upload by sonicstate

"Chris joins us in the studio to show us the new *midicake Una*, a compact MIDI processor and sequencer that takes ideas from MIDI Cake ARP and puts them into a smaller keyboard-focussed format with three intelligent parts driven by MIDI input.

Note: UNA has gained a number of new features and UI improvements since this was filmed, including the Patch Chain and Program Change features mentioned in the video. Head to https://midicake.com/una for what's in the shipping firmware.

UNA is designed to be a musical idea capture device. It uses incoming notes as a harmonic source for three parts: chord, melody and bass. The chord track drives rhythm and harmony, the melody track works as a more complex arpeggiator/sequencer, and the bass track adds generated or edited bass movement. It reverse-engineers played ideas into its parametric sequencing engine rather than simply recording MIDI. It can also be attached to a low cost Android tablet directly for a larger interactive UI to expand control options.

Key features include per-parameter sequencing for pitch, gate, velocity, slice, octave, MIDI channel and delay. It supports ratchets, trills, swing, Euclidean-style mutes and accents, probability-based variation, chord chains, chord suggestions and live play with sustain. Luna also has two MIDI outputs and can route or sequence across multiple MIDI channels.

Una early bird launch offer £399 / $519 / €479 for the first 150 units and sells direct from https://midicake.com"



"Meet Midicake UNA, a hands-on hardware composer for keyboards, synths, and the people who play.

Capture a melody, then play the keyboard. UNA's rhythm, melody and bass tracks follow your chords. Every sequence is parametric and deterministic, so you shape it hands-on and the same settings always give you the same pattern. A pattern is only yours if you can repeat it.

In this video:
• Capture melodies by step recording or in real time
• Change mutes, steps and direction without touching a note
• Step-sequence every main parameter and slice notes
• Chain chords into progressions, and UNA keeps every track in harmony
• Mix tracks and pick from the factory patterns
• Add controlled variation to the bass with probability
• Modulate internal parameters and MIDI CCs with waveforms and step sequences
• Solo over the top with pitch quantisation
• Switch patches on the fly and chain them into patch progressions

Reliq - Rlx 1.10: Reliq, Your DAW and Your Hardware on One Grid


video upload by Reliq Instruments

"Reliq, your DAW and your hardware, all on the same grid. Rlx 1.10 comes with U-SYNC 2.0: tighter, more stable sync between Reliq, DAWs and hardware, automatic latency compensation, and U-SYNC is finally available on Windows. The Bitwig integration goes much deeper, with track creation, plug-in loading and Bitwig clip sequencing directly from Reliq. The USB Host port now connects up to four USB devices through a standard hub. On top of that, there are refinements to Track Speed, the Euclidean generator and much more.

Undersong, a walkthrough: turn audio into tuned particles (Max for Live and iPad)


video upload by ijo audio


"In this video I walk through Undersong, my audio effect that acts more like an instrument. It's out now as a Max for Live device and for iPhone and iPad.

Undersong is based on an idea I had for a live performance that ended up taking on a life of its own. Some of my past devices have been pretty immediate. You drop them on a track and they do the thing you're expecting. But this one really feels more like an environment that you have to get to know a little bit, kind of like a modular workstation full of ideas I like. They're often ambient leaning, but I think it's open to other types of music as well.

Antonus 3620 with E-mu Modular (By Mos-Lab) Session 2


video upload by Antonus and MOS-LAB

"The Antonus 3620 was released just a few weeks ago, and we wanted to share one of its many powerful applications in action!We recently had the incredible Mos-Lab Synthesizers E-Mu Modular replica in our studio, and Toni patched a demo that you definitely need to hear. This is the second of two session, living impro with no multitrack o pre-recordings. Now more experimental and abstract. Just to show the power of the two elements, the Antonus 3620 with the modulations and complex arpegiator patterns with many real time tweaking possibilities, and the Emu Modular from Moslab for all the powerful and living sound."

Who is 'Inspector Norse'? (Circuit Tracks Remake)


video upload by Guinan

"I love the classic 70’s electronic disco/hi-energy vibes to this 2012 track from Norwegian DJ and producer Todd Terje. I thought it could sound great on the Tracks. I think it turned out well but let me know if you think it could be improved. I’ll put a link in the comments below to download the pack, so show me your remixes….

I’ve read that ‘king of Norwegian disco’ Terje Olsen (and it’s pronounced TAR-YEH i think*) produced this just using an ARP-2600 for all the sounds. I thought I’d set myself the challenge to only use the Tracks for this one so everything, including the drums and sound effects, had to be produced by the Tracks and playable on just this box.

Why? I like a challenge!

Everything you hear therefore was programmed, sampled and ported back to the tracks and then sequenced to be played live and recorded direct.

If you are wondering who Inspector Norse is, watch till the end of the video, (obviously partly a pun on UK TV detective 'Inspector Morse') but this excellent video might give you some further clues as to his identity..."

First Test of the 4X-64-DS Drum Sequencer – Experimental Noise Breaks


video upload by Vitamin AH3PCm

"A spontaneous synth jam in which the first prototype of the VITA SYNTHS 4X-64-DS drum sequencer was tested for the very first time. The music was created completely on the fly, with no preparation, using the trigger sequencer mentioned above and several other synthesizers.

Hard to pin down stylistically, so I’d call it Experimental Lo-Fi Noise Acid Breaks."
