Stylophone CPM DF-8 - What is a "Dynamic Multi-Filter" anyway?

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"The Stylophone CPM DF-8 is the follow up to the well received (and for good reason!) DS-2 drone synth. Rather than being a synth first, the DF-8 is a dual/stereo filter at heart, but it has a good few tricks up its sleeve that might elevate it from being 'just a filter'.

The DF-8 will be released 20th November 2025 and the RRP is: £229 | €269 | $299

Transparency notice: I was sent the DF-8 prototype as a beta-tester, and was allowed to keep the unit to make videos about it. I wasn't otherwise paid, and Dubreq have had no editorial oversight on this video.

This Makes Anything Sound Amazing// Stylophone DF-8 Filter / Mutator and then some... Filter Demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Ever wondered what happens when Stylophone — the quirky British maker of those pocket synths from the ‘60s — decides to build a serious analogue filter with the remake of the classic Mutronics Mutator filter chip and the screaming madman from the *Stylophone GenR8*? Meet the *Stylophone CPM DF-8*, a gritty, super flexible and occasionally unpredictable beast that turns any signal into pure lo-fi magic.

THE STYLOPHONE CPM DF-8 ANALOG DYNAMIC MULTI-FILTER
RELEASE DATE: 20TH NOV '25
PRICE: £229 | €269 | $299

In this video, I dive into the DF-8 showing how it reacts to drums, synths, and even full mixes. Expect sweeps, growls, distortion, and plenty of Character. This isn’t your average boutique filter — it’s dirty, chaotic, and full of charm.

You’ll hear:

The raw filter tone and resonance range
How it shapes synths and drum machines
Drive, envelope and modulation tricks
Whether it’s worth adding to your studio or live setup

If you love sound design, modular gear, or just discovering weird musical devices, this one’s for you."

Jam - Arturia Minibrute 2S and Eurorack w/ Scrapcode Modules

video upload by Scrapcode Modular

"A little jam making use of my new @ArturiaOfficial Minibrute 2S and Eurorack rig.

Kick and bass are being generated and sequenced by the 2S, while pad and bleeps are a mixture of @scrapcodemodular AXIOM, WONK and (prototype) QUORD, running through a Doepfer Quad-Filter and @Dreadbox-synths Psychosis.

All sounds created live and recorded directly from the rack - the only post-processing is a gentle limiter and level boost."

Control Synths from Your Phone: Piano Improv on Blade Runner Riff | iOS MIDI (Beta)

video upload by Cristián R. Villagra

"Live piano improvisation over synth riffs driven by my in-development iOS MIDI control app (no name yet). The app sends MIDI to my computer to play arpeggiators and tweak sound parameters in real time (filters, tone, mix, FX) using on-screen faders, knobs, XY pads, mini keyboards, and pitch bend.

Session routing (Kontakt):
• CH1: Noire Piano — played from Arturia KeyLab 88 Mk3
• CH2: Two synths — driven by the app’s Bass Arpeggiator (riff inspired by Vangelis’ Blade Runner theme)
• CH3: Lead synth — performed from the app’s mini keyboard
• CH4: Minimal electronic drums — driven by a second arpeggiator

Why this app? Many keyboards I use on stage have few (or zero) surface controls—sometimes not even pitch bend—so I built a mobile controller to unlock hands-on control: shape filters, automate movements, morph textures, balance layers, and keep playing fluidly. If this helps me, I know it can help other players too.

This video is a 6-minute+ live jam to show the workflow: arpeggiators keeping motion underneath while I improvise on piano and ride parameters on Page 2 of my scene (faders/knobs/XY). The app is still in development and I plan to release it as soon as possible.

If you’re into MIDI control, live keys, or sound design, tell me what you’d like this app to do next—your feedback will shape the release.

Additional Keywords: iOS MIDI app, mobile MIDI controller, live arpeggiator, synth arps, Kontakt Noire, Native Instruments, Arturia KeyLab 88 Mk3, phone MIDI, DAW performance, synth filters, XY pad, faders and knobs, pitch bend on mobile, live improvisation, Blade Runner inspired, Vangelis, sound design workflow"

Looking Outside: Synthesizer and Eurorack Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"Three tracks created by using standalone synthesizers and eurorack modules. Sequenced from the Squarp Hermod+, I thought about recording everything simultaneously, but I decided to record it in groups to allow for more hands on manipulation of the equipment.

For drums, samples were loaded into the 1010music 'Bitbox Micro' with the following modules also used for processing the summed samples: Make Noise 'QPAS', Xaoc 'Koszalin', Qu Bit 'Mojave' and 'Nautilus', Erica Synths 'Blackhole DSP 2', Qu Bit 'Data Bender' (triggered/modulated using the Make Noise '0-CTRL'), and Noise Engineering 'Librae Legio'.

For synthesizers, the following hardware was used: Sonicware 'Evoke', Korg 'Arp 2600m' and 'Minilogue XD', Sequential 'OB-6 Desktop', Novation 'Peak' and 'Circuit Mono Station'.

Korg PS-3200 (1978) - Professionally Restored Full System

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

via this Reverb listing

"Korg PS-3200 - A fully configured system that's been fully cosmetically and operationally restored.

One of the finest fully configured surviving examples of Korg’s iconic PS-3200 — a true masterpiece of 1970s analogue engineering, fully restored for the modern collector.

Servicing Status

KSR has undertaken an extensive cosmetic and operational restoration of this PS-3200, a project spanning several years but largely completed by the end of 2024 — thanks to the exceptional work of Kent Spong of KSR. The Korg has been held in our secure facility throughout 2025, so post-sale, we will have the instrument and all accessories fully checked before shipping or delivering to the new owner. This process will add approximately 10 to 14 days to the post-sale completion time.

Remarks

We have decided to offer for sale our complete Korg PS-3200 System, which forms part of the RL Music Vintage Synthesizer Collection. Over the last 22 years, we’ve retained a small number of the finest vintage synthesizers to pass through our hands — instruments we found particularly inspiring or significant. This PS-3200 is one such example and has been the subject of a full and detailed cosmetic and operational restoration by our trusted vintage synth technician, Kent Spong of KSR.

It is generally accepted that Korg produced only around 200 units of the PS-3200, although the exact number is difficult to verify. Whether 100 or 500 were made, production was certainly very limited, making this an exceptionally rare, hand-built instrument by any measure.

Due to the rarity and individual nature of instruments like this, we’ve taken great care to provide a comprehensive and honest description of this PS-3200. We encourage any prospective buyer to ensure they have all the information needed to make an informed purchase decision — and of course, we are happy to answer any questions directly.

Provenance

We purchased this PS-3200 from a UK seller (an experienced user) in 2015 and collected it personally from their studio in the South of England. At the time, the instrument was fully working but had not been professionally serviced, so we decided to retain it within our PS-series collection — completing the full lineup — and plan its restoration later.

The overall condition was original and very good but showing signs of cosmetic age typical for a 35+-year-old synthesizer. We therefore elected to undertake a full operational and cosmetic restoration. While the market for highly restored vintage synths has cooled in recent years — as values for unrestored examples have climbed — our motivation for this restoration was personal rather than commercial, as the PS-3200 has always been part of our private collection.

System Configuration

PS-3200 Main Frame
PS-3010 Keyboard Controller
PS-3001 Interconnect Cable
PS-3030 Remote
PS-3001 Interconnect Cable (second)
PS-3040 Dual Pedal
Kenton MIDI Retrofit Kit fitted
This particular PS-3200 includes the extremely rare PS-3030 Remote, a unique device allowing live performers access to the patch memories — a groundbreaking feature for 1978.

"Original Sequential Circuits Pro-One synthesizer in very good condition. Only one owner since new, the Norwegian synth band Fra Lippo Lippi. The synth is considered by many as one of the best mono synths ever. It is in original form, only the power had has an upgrade (new caps), and it has been cleaned inside and outside, fully calibrated and ready for use. All knobs are original, and all functions work as they should. One slider knob has ever so slightly contacts problems, but it has been cleaned and re-lubricated, so it works fine, but care might be needed. Or it could be changed to a new one. We choose not to do that to keep the complete synth original. The keyboard is original too, and might need new bushings if you are a keyboard player. All interfaces work, and of course it sounds brilliantly!"

Erik Norlander's Roland JX-3P Synthesizer with PG-200 Programmer SN 301533

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by moogfoundation



via this Reverb listing

"The Roland JX-3P is a powerful, versatile analog polysynth that blends vintage warmth with early digital control. This unit includes the essential PG-200 programmer (with cable) for full hands-on access to the synth’s architecture, bringing out the instrument’s real potential for sound design.

This example is in excellent condition, includes the original Roland cases specifically designed for the keyboard (hardshell carrying case with Roland logo) and the programmer (original vinyl slipcover with logo), and has been professionally converted to US voltage internally. Everything functions as it should, with a clean panel and smooth operation.

Key Features:

6-voice analog polyphony with 2 DCOs per voice
Classic Roland chorus effect
Oscillator sync, cross-mod, and LFO modulation
Built-in 128-step sequencer
Includes PG-200 programmer for real-time control
MIDI input/output
Condition Notes:

Converted to US voltage
PG-200 and synth are both fully functional
Cosmetic condition is excellent
Original Roland case included
The JX-3P was one of Roland’s first MIDI-equipped analog synths, used by artists like The Future Sound of London, Astral Projection, and Orbital. With the PG-200, it transforms from a preset machine into a true performance synth, with rich modulation, powerful sync tones, and that unmistakable Roland polish.

Evolving Riddle-4

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Yesterday a new part of the riddle arrived in the post - a beautiful Ensoniq SD1!

The SD1 is a Transwave Rompler workstation from 1990

Did you know that Ensoniq founder Bob Yannes invented the Rompler as we know it (and also the SID chip)? The very first one was called the ESQ1 and came out in 1986, the year before the Roland D50, and then all the other ones from Korg, Yamaha, Kawai, Emu, Alesis, and Kurzweil, each quickly developing their own digital rom chips. Actually Bob used single cycle waveforms stored in rom, but the basic structure and concept of the ESQ1 is what became the rompler. It had 3 simple rom-based VCOs that could be layered and sent through an analog filter. It is a wonderful, epoch defining synth - totally underrated IMO

It was enhanced and repackaged as the SQ80 in 1988 as a fully realised Rompler with more memory for the read-only samples

Their follow up was the VFX which added Transwave synthesis - a bit like the PPG wavetable idea where you can move through the waveform and modulate it. However the VFX had some reliability issues and was replaced a year later by the SD1 which also added a sequencer, and more voices and memory

And this is what we have here - mixed in with the other synths - Quadrasynth, TG33, Waldorf Microwave2 and the Roland JV1080

The reverbs are the Lexicon 224X and the Quantum Room Simulator

There is one part of the riddle left to make - I'll try and work on it tomorrow. Then I will release them all as an album - 'Evolving Riddles' by Benge 😀"
