"***has some issues. Please read fully before purchasing.

I'll start by saying the ENSEMBLE section of this synth sounds incredible and works 100%. The ENSEMBLE section is where the Brass, Strings, Chorus (think synth choir, not a chorus effect), and organ sounds are found. These are the bread and butter of this synth. Huge, fat sounds found in this section, and they all work excellently.

The PERCUSSION section is where the more "transient" sounds are found and they all work on each of the 4 settings (Electric Piano, Clavi, Piano and Harmonics). However, the "B" key in each octave either doesn't sound at all, or just makes a faint sound that is not at all like the others. The "TREMOLO" effect in the PERCUSSION section does not work at all, and if you select it, it effectively mutes all the sounds in the percussion section.

The Chorus modulation on the stick is very very faint, and sometimes not really audible at all. The pitch bend however works flawlessly, and the spring to return it to center is in tact and working 100%. The "CHORUS/PHASE" effect buttons work but the effect sounds underwhelming, but it does work. I don't know enough about the architecture of this keyboard, but I'm assuming the CHORUS/PHASE effect buttons and the CHORUS PHASE control on the stick are related.

Everything else works like it should. And even with these "issues" named above, this is still a very functional synth with some killer sounds that just don't sound like anything else.

Fully polyphonic! ALL notes. Its wild.

Cosmetically it is in very nice condition. There is one light colored scratch down the left side of the wood case (pictured).

I have not made any attempt to service this keyboard. Therefore, this could be a simple contact cleaning for some of these issues to restore some, if not all of its original functionality."

A COMPACT ANALOG COMPRESSOR

Messor is a fully analog stereo feed-forward VCA compressor designed for studio, modular, and live systems. The architecture is derived from the original Cosmotronic eurorack module, with extended headroom, improved channel matching, and a revised sidechain topology optimized for wide dynamic ranges.

HIGH HEADROOM

The internal ±12 V regulated power rail provides substantial headroom and consistent operating conditions for both line-level and modular-level sources. It reliably handles high-transient material from synthesizers, drum machines, and percussion-heavy sources without premature clipping. High-impedance inputs and balanced outputs simplify interfacing with modular systems, samplers, and balanced studio equipment.

Signal flow begins with a low-noise stereo preamplifier offering up to 18 dB of gain, followed by a pair of matched VCA control blocks. The feed-forward topology provides predictable transient behavior, accurate envelope shaping, and stable stereo imaging. A post-VCA conditioning stage adds tube-like saturation, introducing controlled harmonic content when driven into overload.

WCS-X – Firmware Update | New Patches & New Features

video upload by EMW Synthesizers

"The WCS-X has received a major firmware update, introducing a wide range of new features and sonic improvements that significantly expand the synthesizer’s capabilities.

Among the highlights are Oscillator SYNC, PWM and Wave Folding, independent Attack/Decay generators per oscillator for pitch modulation, and a new Vintage parameter that adds warmth and character to the sound. Patch memory has now been implemented, allowing up to 128 patches to be stored directly in the instrument.

The update also introduces a new LFO with 15 waveforms, as well as new modes for Glide and Gate type, offering more expressive control and flexibility in performance and sequencing.

This short video showcases some of the new patches, demonstrating how these new features can be used in real sounds and musical contexts.

We believe this marks the final firmware version — and more news is coming soon 👀 Stay tuned and enjoy the sound! 🎶✨"

Made a synth for $75* ! (*excluding tariffs/postage...)

video upload by Guinan

"I made an open-source Raspberry Pi based DX-emulation synth for around $75 and hooked it up to my Novation Circuit Tracks.

MiniDEXED is the open source DX emulation project,
https://github.com/probonopd/MiniDexe...

I used the following open source hardware Raspberry Pi HAT which delivers a DAC and DIN MIDI in and out, https://github.com/tebl/BulkyMIDI-32

Build is also here, https://www.pcbway.com/project/sharep...

I ordered mine pre-built from Ebay - but that's just a reflection on my soldering skill!

To run the software it also needs a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 (buy one with a 'GPIO header' as then it's just plug and play once you have loaded the software from the above link). Make sure it's a 'Zero 2' as the older model is much slower.

Much more detail and slicker presentation here....
• MINIDEXED - honey, I shrunk my DX7 collection [posted here]

All of the above work was inspired by the very excellent and similar MT32-pi project by Dale Winham which emulates the Roland MT-32 synth and others. I've got a 2nd Pi Zero 2 and some parts in the wings for a further video...."

System Lizard - Iguanamente

video upload by John Schussler

"I'm a sucker for anything with lots of cross modulation. The Iguanamente has that in spades, plus it's got a unique delay built into the audio path that makes for even more craziness.

They say: 'Iguanamente is a chaotic oscillator designed to provide a Eurorack modular synthesizer with a unique and creative sound source that is suitable for percussion, noise, leads, basses, drones, and everything in between.'

Sounds about right.

This is pretty much all just the module. There is some reverb there for space, but that's it.

00:00 Intro
00:20 Main out
06:00 Main + Aux
19:43 Sequence"

This is the first post to feature the Iguanamente!

via Perfect Circuit

The Iguanamente from System Lizard is a chaotic dual oscillator built around a cross modulating oscillator and delay network. Thanks to a keen and comprehensive array of timbre and modulation controls, Iguanamente readily stretches across musical terrain, wagging its reptilian tail between percussion, texture, and melodic applications alike. At the top of the panel, Coarse frequency control sets the fundamental frequency of the system, with dedicated 1V/octave and FM inputs for adjusting frequency via CV. The Radius control manipulates the spread of auxiliary oscillators, allowing for a wide range of inharmonic and harmonic timbral expansion. Shape controls the waveshape of all oscillators, hard clipping into a square wave to the left of center and wavefolding to the right.

These oscillators are then processed through a delay network, with controls for Feedback, delay time or Frequency, and a Mix control. At the bottom of the module, cross modulation controls and CV inputs for oscillator frequency modulation, oscillator amplitude modulation, and delay time allow you to introduce nonlinear modulations into Iguanamente, sparking unique and chaotic changes in timbre. At the top right corner of the module, independent outputs for the Main and Auxiliary oscillators offer independent post processing potential or serve as a pseudo-stereo output. If you're looking for a flexible oscillator with unique character and a taste for chaos, Iguanamente from System Lizard is a righteously fun reptile for any rack.

IGUANAMENTE FEATURES

Chaotic oscillator
Dual oscillator design with integrated delays
Coarse frequency control
FM input and attenuverter control, knob acts as fine pitch control when no FM source connected
Radius control adjusts auxiliary oscillator frequency spread

Fieldtone Weaver Eurorack // The Happy Accidents Module // Full walkthrough and patches

video upload by Lesjamusic

Pedal version previously featured here.

"The Fieldtone Weaver is a two-second sampler with a single knob, no undo, and no going back. Now it's in eurorack.

Weaver captures two seconds of audio - via the built-in microphone or audio input - and instantly randomises it into evolving loops, rhythms, and textures. Every turn of the knob generates a completely new variation. Nothing saves, nothing recalls. It's the ultimate happy accidents machine.
The modular version adds individual level control for three loop elements, trigger outputs that double as a random rhythm generator, a pitch switch, clock sync, and CV control - which works differently to what you might expect. I go into detail on all of this.

Tony and Hugh discuss the joy of sonic adventure and gear designed to produce happy accidents and the experiences of bringing new creations to the world."

A few pics and details on Weaver Eurorack:


Weaver Modular from Fieldtone is a Eurorack format version of the highly in demand Weaver handheld sampler that featured in music tech tastemaker Andrew Huang’s year round up as his Favourite Desktop FX module of 2024. The modular edition builds on the functionality of the original by adding a variety of additional control.

The Weaver is no ordinary audio sampler, it is a meditation on impermanence and chance. With a single, enigmatic knob, it embraces randomness as an artistic principle, reconfiguring two-second sound bites into hypnotic loops and evolving textures. There is no undo button, no way back once a sound is captured; the Weaver insists that you move forward, shaping the unpredictable into rhythm or texture with nothing more than a twist of the wrist or control voltage change.

New functionality on the device includes separate level controls of different elements of the loop, as well as 3 x trigger outputs which turns the device into a random rhythm generator for which you don't even need to be using the sampling capabilities. You can trigger the Recording start via CV, allowing you to keep replacing the sample whilst the loop continuously plays - something that works beautifully with acoustic sound sources such as guitar or voice, as well as electronics. A switch has also been added to select between Random or Root note sympathetic pitch playback.

Features:

Single-knob audio sampler focussed on randomness and exploration

Capture sound via built-in microphone or input jack

Fixed two-second sample time

No undo function, every knob movement generates a new loop

External sync via Clock input

Stereo output on separate L&R sockets with rich spatial movement

Separate level controls for 3 different elements of the loop

3 x gate outputs for triggering other sources

Toggle to switch between Texture and Rhythm modes

Toggle to switch between Root or Random pitch

Gate/trigger input to control Recording start

Gate/trigger input to control Weaver knob

Can be used as random rhythm generator without needing to use the sampler
