PlantsSystem-Prophet-5&PolySeq


video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem performed live in the intimate space of a single room using the Prophet-5 and Poly-Seq.

Performer and audience shared the same space, and in a seamless environment, the Prophet-5's rich analog tone and the Poly-Seq's quietly pulsating sequences resonated with each other.

The act of performing itself blended into the living space, resulting in an intimate and immersive performance where the listener could experience the sound-creation process in its entirety.

PlantsSystem-Duos&PolySeq ChaosSync

video upload by plantssystem



"PlantsSystem performed using Hikari Instruments' Duos and Sequential's Poly-Sequencer, linked via ChaosSync.

The multiple sequencers interact and influence each other, generating music through a struggle between regularity and chance. The delicate yet sharp modulations of the Duos and the phrase changes made by the Poly-Sequencer overlap, keeping the development constantly fluid.

This experimental live performance, unique to PlantsSystem, showcases the process in which intention and chance emerge simultaneously."

Details:

"A Streamlined Classic! Mäander-M Wavetable Synth with Analog Filterbank & Sequencer

The Flame MÄANDER-M is a compact reimagining of a well-regarded classic from the Flame lineup — now more affordable and streamlined, but still packed with the same sonic depth. At its core is a wavetable synth engine, fed into the 12-channel analog bandpass filter bank, controlled by the internal pattern sequencer.

Sound sources include a polyphonic wavetable and FM oscillator, an analog white noise generator and an external audio input. The internal sequencer offers one polyphonic note track (up to 4-voice chords) and 14 mono tracks. The latter are dedicated to the filter channels, the audio input, and the noise source. Each track has its own VCA with individual envelope control and is accessible via MIDI notes.

Patterns can be created and saved as patches, and played live with ease. The built-in arpeggiator and keyboard scaler make the MÄANDER a powerful tool for live jamming and generative sequencing. Updates, patch management, and wavetable loading are handled conveniently via MIDI SysEx.

New in this version: direct oscillator output, stereo noise output, and stereo audio input. Mäander comes fully mounted in a powered 56HP wooden skiff to get started right away.

The Mäander module comes with a custom-made 56HP Eurorack case. Consisting of black anodised aluminium half-shells with wooden side panels, the case has a desk-style design. It includes a built-in power supply (+5V, +12V and -12V, each with an output current of 500 mA) and a plug-in power supply (9–18 V, 18 W), and can therefore also be used as a separate Eurorack case with other modules. The case is manufactured entirely in Germany, and the elegant wooden side panels are crafted from locally sourced wood, including cherry and elm."

Game Music's Secret Weapon - Roland Sound Canvas


video upload by SoundFontGuy

"Video game music from the 90's and 2000's is special. The limited tools that composers had to work with made for some creative applications of software and hardware of the time. One of the most commonly used pieces of music hardware in all of video game music was Roland's SoundCanvas line of MIDI Module synthesizers. Everything from The Legend of Zelda to Final Fantasy!

Roland’s Sound Canvas is a line of sample-based MIDI sound modules that became the de-facto General MIDI/GS standard in the ’90s. It’s basically a ROMpler box full of “bread and butter” instruments (piano, strings, brass, drums, etc.) with built-in effects, and it was used heavily in PC games, console dev, and MIDI playback as the reference sound for GM/GS music."

Kawai K3m w/ Original Box

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


via this Reverb listing

"For sale is a collector-grade Kawai K3m in excellent condition, the iconic 1986 hybrid rack synthesizer known for its unmistakable blend of digital additive waves and warm analog filters and this one is among the nicest examples you’re likely to come across.

This unit has been exceptionally well cared for. The front panel, buttons, and display are all clean, responsive, and in excellent shape. The chassis shows only very light surface scratches consistent with normal aging and nothing that affects performance or presentation. No rust, no dents, no rack rash. Everything functions exactly as it should. This K3m includes the original box, which is extremely uncommon and makes it especially appealing to any collector who values originality and provenance.

If you’ve been waiting for a near-mint, investment-worthy K3m that has the look, feel, and reliability of a top-tier example, this one checks every box.

The K3m has gained significant interest in recent years thanks to its unique voice architecture: additive digital waveforms running through warm analog filters. It occupies a sonic space very few synthesizers, and certainly no plugin, can convincingly emulate. It’s pure mid-’80s character, from shimmering pads to darkwave textures to cutting synth-pop leads.

Collector Highlights:
• 1986 original in exceptional condition
• Very minimal wear
• Fully functional with no operational issues
• Includes the original box
• Original buttons, screen, and panel components
• Hybrid architecture: 32 digital additive waves → analog low-pass filter
• A historically significant Kawai design with growing collector interest
• Perfect for studios, synth enthusiasts, and vintage rack collectors"

Casio FZ-1 – Installing the New OLED Display Kit


video upload by EMW Synthesizers

Addtional EMW Casio posts

"INFORMATION

The project works perfectly for normal use of the FZ-1, FZ-10M and FZ-20M. All menu screens, editing pages, sampling functions, parameters and general operation display correctly. Only a few fully graphical screens, such as Hand Drawing, Sin Synthesis and Graphic Envelope, may show minor pixel irregularities. This does not affect usability in any way; these functions continue to work normally and the issue is purely visual.
As I no longer have time to continue development, I do not plan to refine these small graphical details. Even so, the kit leaves the FZ fully usable, which is exactly what allowed me to bring my own FZ-1 and FZ-20M back to life and use them normally again.

FZ-1 Kit

For the FZ-1, we supply a complete kit, including:
A dedicated support with the logic board.
A second support with the new OLED display that fits perfectly into the original display mounting position.

Installation requires no soldering and no special skills. The kit uses the original FZ-1 mounting screws, and the entire installation can be completed in under 20 minutes.
Please watch the FZ-1 installation video on our YouTube channel for a full step-by-step demonstration.

FZ-10M and FZ-20M Kit

For the FZ-10M and FZ-20M, we supply a single integrated assembly including the support, logic board and display. This assembly fits perfectly into the original display location of the module.

Installation is very simple, requires no soldering, and typically takes around 15 minutes. The process is also demonstrated in the installation video available on our YouTube channel.

Pricing and Ordering

The price for the kit (logic board, display, supports and cables) is US$249.00 + shipping.

Turismo - Iterative Drone Composition


video upload by ALM TV

"Our Eurorack modular workstation the 'Turismo' is well suited for sequencing beats and groove box style patching but the versatile system can fit equally well into less structured environments. In this patch we explored using the Turismo for iterative drone composition, making use of the system's stereo line input and output and flexible set of modules to generate, record and reprocess sound in combination with a 4 track cassette recorder.

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

Our Eurorack modular workstation the 'Turismo' is well suited for sequencing beats and groove box style patching but the versatile system can fit equally well into less structured environments.

In this patch we explored using the Turismo for iterative drone composition, making use of the system's stereo line input and output and flexible set of modules to generate, record and reprocess sound in combination with a 4 track cassette recorder.

To start we connected the line out of the Turismo to the first 2 tracks of the 4 track, to capture our patch. We inserted a cassette tape and began recording a prepatched droning ambient soundscape to tape. The patch took full advantage of the system's collection of modules to generate and process the sound. Over the course of recording, we made some tweaks to the patch to subtly evolve our sounds. After a few minutes of recording we faded the sounds out and stopped the tape.

Reprocessing
Next we reset the system and rewound our tape, then repatched the output of the 4 track directly to the stereo line input of the MEGA MILTON utility module so we could reprocess our original patch back through the Turismo in a unique iterative compositional process.

We connected the amplified left and right outputs of the MEGA MILTON directly to channels 1 and 2 of the MEGA-TANG mixer and VCA, increasing their levels and hard panning them left and right. We set the tape to play at half speed, then began playback. The full system was then available to process the recording.

We connected the FX send of the MEGA-TANG to the record input of the Squid Salmple and returned the output for channel 6 back to the MEGA-TANG. Outside of conventional sample playback, the flexible Squid Salmple can be used like a live processor similar to a delay. To set this up, we started by creating a record buffer. We entered the record menu and locked recording to channel 1 by holding the Chan button and pressing the Rec button. We also set the record mode to 'overdub' for a smoother sound. Next we connected a x1 clock output from Pamela's PRO Workout to the record gate input to continuously trigger recording.
