"Super-rare Moog MuSonics Sonic V synthesizer from 1972! This is #96 out of only 100 made and the only one I’ve seen with a front panel overlay that differs slightly than others I’ve seen (which, admittedly, is not many and not at all in-person). It’s actually more in the aesthetic style of a VI, as far as that particular detail is concerned.
The elusive predecessor to the Sonic VI was designed by Gene Zumchak, who also designed the 960 Sequencer, 961, and 962 modules. According to advertising literature, it was “designed for the music educator” and features “ring modulation, microtonal keyboard scaling, two-note keyboard capability, and extended modulation resources”.
The sounds this thing can make are absolutely insane. For those of you who are in to noise, sound effects, and sound design — this is a formidable and wildly entertaining beast. It is capable of some really beautiful, melodic sounds, as well, so it’s not just for pure craziness. It’s a unique instrument not often seen out in the wild and only in the collection of distinguished collectors, studios, and synth aficionados. A rare chance to grab an incredibly rare instrument!
Just serviced with the following:
- PSU recap - all pots cleaned and a few jacks replaced - ground hum eliminated - 741 op-amp replaced in Oscillator A - full calibration"

"Muro Box-N40 Standard music box track with an Onde from La Voix du Luthier, a Continuum and an Eagan Matrix Module from Haken Audio and an Osmose from Expressive E
The N40 is an enhanced version of the N20, the main additional feature being a chromatic scale and internal piezo microphone, both being huge improvements !
The Muro Box-N40 s controlled via MIDI by a Korg SV1.
The voice is built from and analysis of the voice of Khatija Rahman and resynthesised by the Continuum. The pitch and shimmer effect on the Murobox are done by an Eagan Matrix Module. Both are done thanks to the new 10.40 features of the Eagan Matrix.
The murobox is recorded with 3 internal piezo and an IQ7 microphone.
The piezo are connected to a small preamp (TubeMP from ART, but multiple others will work).
The output of the preamp goes to a Eurorack (in an Eagan Matrix Module). I then a processing chain with a notch filter cuting a frequency band aroud 280/300 Hz, and a noisegate in order to lower the motor noise. The Eagan Matrix module then adds shimmers and pitch effects."
"Muro Box sent a prototype of their upcoming N40 midi music box to test out. This new unit can also do the black keys on a keyboard! (the original N20 version is limited to the C major scale)
Here, I'm controlling the plucking of the music box's tines with the OP-1 Field's keyboard by MIDI over USB-C, while sometimes adding in soft sine tone synth sounds coming out of the OP-1 at the same time. Soft sine tones and music boxes have been the Lullatone dream team since the early 2000s : )"
See the Muro Box label below for additional posts.
"Which Music Box Has the Best Sound?
The Beautiful Sound of a Music Box Comes from these key components: Comb, Metal Base, and Wood Box
The N20 and N40 Standard models share the same material and design, differing only in the number of notes and the inclusion of semitones. The N40 Sublime is our flagship model, featuring a four-comb configuration, an acacia wood box, and pure brass base that adds a unique character to its resonance."
"Since its inception, the Muro Box’s external MIDI functionality makes the dream of using a music box as an instrument a reality. Especially with the N40’s 40-note scale, which includes semitones, it meets the arrangement and composition needs of musicians!"
"A few years back almost all my hardware was modular gear. A beautiful 15u all-black monster. A wondrous thing it was with a most fetching array of clock-synced lights. Problem was I never made any music with it. It was lots of fun arranging the modules though. I still have about 80hp left of a few favorites I couldn't part with: Interstellar Radio, the Erica LFOs and some utilities.
I mention this because the Syntrx II is often described as a modular system in a box. Sections are "patched" via the matrix. I've had the Syntrx for an embarrassingly long time and never done anything with it other than admire its good looks. In fact I sold my OB-6 to help pay for it. Yet somehow it just hasn't called.
So here's my first attempt at coherent sound. It took a day to get going. Figuring how to clear the matrix and patch anything took several hours. A couple of hours after that and we have this. It's not much. I tried to get a stereo field happening - and succeeded briefly - then somehow lost it. I was also getting excellent low rubber resonance swells but somehow lost them as well by the time I was ready to record. I battled for quite a while to stop overloading the filter and that seems to have worked.
So I certainly wouldn't say it's easy to get going. Of course that's just me. So far there's nothing here that other reasonably deep synths couldn't do. I know the Syntrx can go way deeper, but I don't want to just make random complex noise. Perhaps the question is how complex can you get while staying somewhat musical? And where is your own subjective boundary of music?
I wasn't going to upload this as I wasn't very happy with it, but then I thought its value is as an example of a 'first try' with a complex machine.
As usual there is no processing or effects other than what you see - the Syntrx itself. The only other element are the vocal samples which are taken from one of my favorite B-grade sci-fi movies: The Time Travellers (1964). It has an excellent score btw.
"A RadioPhonic Real-time Performance, All-analogue sounds, all AJH Synth Eurorack modules. Inspired by the electronica of the 1970's and comprising 3 voices: A 3-VCO drone/chord using the Gemini 2412 as 2 separate filters being cross-modulated. A single VCO sequence, using the Ring SM to add a sub-octave/sub bass to the sawtooth wave of the oscillator. A voice-like sound, using one, then two oscillators into the Transistor Ladder Filter (VCO and VCF both based on the original R.A Moog version of the Minimoog). A choir-like sound created by running 2 VCO sawtooths into the Wave Swarm and then the Fixed Filter Bank 914 (based on the original Moog modular). Then, both the previous 2 sounds combined in the Next Phase 12-stage analogue phaser, swept by its own internal LFO.
Two additional sound effects created by using the random voltage mode of the Tap Tempo VC-LFO to modulate the self-oscillating Sonic XV diode filter, it's frequency also being affected by the Contour Generators to create descending pitches. Finally, a DH-ADSR envelope generator controlling the Entropic Doom. Both envelope modules are manually triggered.
The RadioPhonic is a Eurorack modular synth commissioned by Hans Zimmer, recreations of which are now available to pre-order at https://ajhsynth.com/Radiophonic.html.
The RadioPhonic features 48 AJH Synth modules, including 8 envelopes, 7 VCOs, 6 LFOs, 6 VCFs, up to 7 VCAs, random voltage generators, random gates, phaser, fixed filter bank, dedicated noise oscillator, wave-folder, wave multipliers, audio and CV mixers, ring modulators, sub-octave generator, glide/slew, octave/semitone switching, multiples... and in a beautiful hardwood, well-powered Eurorack case. All modules are also available separately, or as part of pre-assembled, ready to play systems.
Chris Lody (@ChrisLodyMusic) , a sound wizard I genuinely trust, created an amazing sound of the Indian instrument, Tanpura. It was so beautiful that I had to jam with it today. I thought the tanpura sound would also fit perfectly with the world of LIVEN Ambient Ø.
In the second half, I got creative by grouping every 4 steps and making the sequences trigger randomly.
"Beware the title: 'First day noodlings'. This isn't a collection of pristine patches or sweetly controlled tone-perfect spaces. It is literally me with the Nightverb on day one twiddling the knobs trying to understand the various interactions and calibrations. But I figure that will be of interest to some. And since my daughter always laughs at how "incredibly niche" my channel is, well, surely it can't hurt.
I'm honored to have Nightverb serial number 0006 sent to me gratis by Erica Synths. Technically that should earn the "paid promotion" tag, and yet, saying that on this random hodge-podge doesn't seem quite right. And since I'm almost qualified as a member of the Erica Synths 10% discount club I think I've earned a pass on this one. Of course the truth is I would have bought this anyway if Erica Synths hadn't sent it to me, so at least this way I didn't have to sell anything - yay!
But about the Nightverb. It's armoured, beautiful and alive with grippy knobs. Reverb has never been so much fun or so fast to program. About halfway through the video I learn that 'late reflections' combined with 'infinite feedback' equals noise - but that's what day one gets you. Give it a few months and I'm sure all this will look painfully awkward. I also had the gain quite high and neglected to touch the low and high damp controls at all, but there's only so many parameters I can deal with fresh at one time. More videos to come of course.
I'm looking forward to pairing the Nightverb with the Zen Delay and Acidbox III though for this first outing I thought it should stay pure. Of course there are absolutely no DAW effects, EQ or limiting. I can certainly see cases in the future where a delay after the reverb could make for some interesting creations. Even so, just with the trusty DB-01 I did enjoy the pseudo poly-synth effect going 100% wet. Likewise the pre-delay with early reflections and feedback gave a good industrial delay. So much more I could say but I'll leave that for a talkie video.
If there's anything specific about the Nightverb I can answer, or a particular sort of audio demo you'd like to hear, let me know and I'll try to cover them in a second video.

"Step up to the legendary warmth and brilliance of classic Oberheim, reborn in the compact, powerful TEO-5. Dive into authentic analog tones, push boundaries with modern modulations and effects, and create like Thomas Elroy Oberheim always dreamed. TEO-5 is more than a synth, it's your sonic legacy, waiting to be written.
"Today, I unbox and demo the incredible Oberheim TEO-5 synthesizer. In the video I also discuss TEO-5 with the man himself Tom Oberheim who graciously gave me an intimate introduction to his latest and greatest synthesizer. 🚀"
"Today, Oberheim Electronics has just announced the release of their new synthesizer: TEO-5 -- a five-voice analog synthesizer. In this video, Julian "J3PO" Pollack reviews the synth and performs numerous sound examples.
"Following up from my work on the beta development and sound design on the Oberheim OB-X8, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the next Oberheim synth would be the TEO-5. Unpacking the beta unit revealed a beautiful and cleverly designed 5 voice analog synth that simply sounds amazing.
The size of the TEO-5 is absolutely perfect for world wide gigging and the sound is a sort of best of Oberheim with a modern twist. That modern twist doesn't exclusively come from the excellent FX processor on board, but also from the interesting modulation options and ranges. While you can push the synth into harmonic and saturated zones, it still, like all Oberheims remains one large sweet spot.
Don't be fooled by the smaller size and voice count, there is nothing small about the sound and capability of the TEO-5. Not to be missed.
Please note this recording is of a beta development unit running an early firmware. The sounds featured here are the patches I made for the shipping factory bank that comes with the synth straight from Oberheim.
Recorded at Infinite Power Studios, Los Angeles. All patches by Matia Simovich/INHALT. Video edited by Grover Greenberg."
"At Superbooth 2024 we met up with David Gibbons from Oberheim who introduced us to the new TEO-5 synthesizer. Named after Tom Oberheim with an exclusive reveal of Tom's middle name, the TEO-5 has a SEM filter, two oscillators and a sub giving that classic Oberheim sound, but with lots of features to bring its capabilities right up to date.
Chris Calcutt then stepped up, and gave us a demo of the sound of this synth. TEO-5 gives us 19 mod slots with tons of destinations, both a mono and a poly LFO, two envelopes and a capable twin FX section. Uniquely there is a cross-mod section with thru-zero capabilities, which allows FM modulation that stays in tune up and down the keyboard.
With a similar form factor to the Take 5, the TEO-5 has a 3 and a half octave Fatar keyboard with aftertouch, and is designed to give the Oberheim sound in a more portable and affordable package
"A Quick Look any the new Oberheim TEO-5 - named after Tom Edison Oberheim - there was a leak a few weeks back but it's here in the flesh.. and nice it is too.
Its got the same form factor as there Sequential Take 5. The big addition is obviously the Oberheim filter, and a through zero FM - so it looks like it has the new SSI chip.
Anyway.. just a Quick Look.. enjoy:)"

Introducing the New Oberheim TEO-5 Polyphonic Synthesizer
TEO-5: The Legendary Oberheim Sound Reborn in a Compact Powerhouse
San Francisco, CA – [May 16, 2024] – Oberheim, the venerable brand synonymous with the golden age of synthesizers, proudly announces the TEO-5 polysynth. This powerful instrument features the visionary craftsmanship of Thomas Elroy Oberheim (TEO), offering a perfect blend of classic analog warmth and modern versatility for today's musicians.
“I’m so proud to be able to make a synth like this... compact and affordable, the Oberheim sound for 2024,” says Tom Oberheim, the company’s founder. TEO-5 is designed to make the classic Oberheim tone palette widely accessible, encapsulating decades of analog engineering experience in a forward-thinking and innovative musical instrument.
The TEO-5 boasts a five-voice architecture with genuine analog VCOs and VCFs, capturing the distinctive warmth and depth that defined countless hit records. But TEO-5 isn't just a tribute to the past. Additions like through-zero FM, which adds a contemporary twist to its oscillator X-Mod feature, allow for the exploration of entirely new sonic textures. And the legendary Oberheim SEM filter returns, offering the versatility of morphing between low- pass, notch, and high-pass configurations, along with a switchable band-pass mode for extensive tonal shaping. Beyond its core synthesis architecture, TEO-5 features a comprehensive modulation matrix, opening a world of possibilities for sculpting and transforming sounds. Digital effects processors provide classic chorus, delay, reverb, and more, alongside faithful recreations of the revered Oberheim Ring Mod and Phasor effects. A 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator further fuel creative exploration, while a premium Fatar keybed ensures a responsive and inspiring playing experience.
“There was a huge surge of interest when Oberheim returned in 2022 with the historically inspired OB-X8,” said David Gibbons, CEO of Oberheim. “But Tom and the design team were keen to show that the magic of Oberheim can be within reach for everyone, and can bring a distinctive modern flavor. TEO-5 is an exciting addition to the Oberheim legacy.” Whether you're a seasoned professional seeking a powerful new sonic tool or a budding artist embarking on your analog adventure, TEO-5 is your gateway to unparalleled musical exploration.
DRONES MAX is a WAVE TABLE SYNTHERSIZER for sustained sounds. It has three WAVE TABLE OSCs and two POLE FILTERs, which can be modulated by two LFOs. Powerful effects include stereo delay, reverb, and crusher with a wide range of parameters, allowing for a variety of expression from aggressive and intense sounds to beautiful cosmic harmonics.
WAVETABLE
Over 200 waveforms are recorded, and you can change them smoothly. Also, at the end of the knob is a sawtooth waveform, a sine waveform, and a frequency-varying noise generator. WAVETABLE has a mixture of waveforms that contain different harmonics, and when combined with an LFO, it can create the effect of gradually changing musical scales.
OSC MIX
You can set the volume ratio of the three oscillators.
NOSIE
Adds noise to the oscillator output.
FILTER
DRONES is equipped with a 2POLE low-pass filter with resonance. Turning the CUTOFF knob to the left attenuates the high notes, and when turned all the way, no sound is produced. Turning the RES knob to the right will cause a peak to occur at the pitch at the cutoff point.
LFO
DRONES has a built-in LFO that can output sine, sawtooth, square, and sampled and held random waveforms. The LFO knob sets the LFO frequency and waveform. Turning the knob to the right will speed up the frequency, and when it reaches the highest frequency, it will switch to the next waveform.
STEREO DELAY / REVERB
Equipped with stereo delay and reverb for drone sounds.
Feedback can be set to no attenuation, adding even more depth to the sound.
CRUSHER
By lowering the resolution of the sound, you can create harsher expressions.
"This video demonstrates the final version of a 4-bit Linear PCM synthesizer that I have designed and built over about two months. It makes use of mostly Soviet clones of 7400 and 74LS series TTL chips, with no microcontrollers involved. It has a 256 x 4 SRAM chip that allows the user to program whatever waveforms may be desired, with looping capability, and starting at whatever point desired. Most importantly, it is able to be controlled by an external source, for example a keyboard instrument. It also has a frequency doubler circuit. This video is part 2 of 2, showing the finished product.

"Please support my work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jayhosking A live, semi-improvised synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.
I went to the store to try out the Sequential Prophet Rev2 for fun, but they didn't have it set up on the floor.
"You should just take it home," the rep said. "Bring it back within 30 days if you don't want it."
So here we are, with the Prophet Rev2 at home. I love having so many voices that so easily can be panned into a binaural sound. The keybed and layout are fantastic and I just like playing it. The sound is great except when it isn't; something about the full-open filter or resonance is displeasing in a mix, though I often don't mind it on its own. Here, I made a binaural patch, with the same synth sound hard panned to left and right sides, but slight variation in the DCOs and "slop" (terrible word) leading to a very rich stereo feeling. One of those rare beautiful things you can do with only some polysynths (and software, of course).
In short, the Prophet Rev2 is a wonderful synth to explore with something of a frumpy sound, for better and for worse.
I was noodling on some chords and wanted accompaniment, so I started with the Cosmos (for some asymmetrical looping), and then took out my melodic eurorack skiff. It's been a while since I had it on the table, so it was nice just to hear these sounds again. Eurorack just leads me to places and sounds I might not otherwise find.
Ultimately, this jam came together in a day, and I'm always a little worried about those ones, because you might not like them as much the next day. So far, though, I'm pretty happy with it.
Thanks for listening.

XERXES delivers an unmatchable level of warmth through its two digitally controlled analog oscillators. A multimode analog filter, white and pink noise generator, 2 ADSR envelopes, 2 sync-able LFOs, unique analog BBD chorus with 3 modes, full MPE-based polyphonic aftertouch, and complete MIDI control including polyphonic aftertouch and MPE work together to bring a classic analog sound ready to integrate into modern times. MK2 features an updated VCA section, and balanced outputs.
Xerxes produces triangle, saw, square, and PWM waveforms with variable drift controls from each oscillator, sync with variable phase shifting, and ring modulation allowing for complex cross-modulation effects. Each oscillator features an octave switch, bipolar transpose potentiometer +/-7 semitones, a master tuning pot affecting both oscillators, and a detune knob for subtly detuning Oscillator 2 to Oscillator 1. Portamento/Glissando or Glide can be programmed to affect Oscillator 1, 2, or both.
The analog multimode filter on XERXES offers 24db/oct low pass, 12db/oct high pass modes and a band pass filter mode switchable between 6db/oct & 12db/oct for all kinds of filter characteristics. The filter can also be modulated by the dedicated ADSR envelope, LFO, velocity, and aftertouch (MPE and Polyphonic Aftertouch) allowing for incredibly expressive performance and programming.
XERXES features 6 LFO waveforms: Sine, triangle, saw, ramp, square, and random, plus a dedicated delay control to fade the LFO to the full amount set by the depth knob. Two LFOs are selectable with an A/B switch, each of which can be used to control multiple parameters set by the button switches to control oscillator tuning (A/B/Both) filter cutoff, and amplifier levels (VCF/VCA/Both.) Each of these LFOs also includes a Sync on/off switch.
XERXES features a beautiful, fully-analogue BBD-based chorus with 3 selectable modes, similar to the chorus effect found on the vintage Elka Synthex synthesizer. XERXES MK2 is equipped with stereo 1/4” balanced outputs to take full advantage of the stereo chorusing effect.
Finally, XERXES features full MIDI control and ability to store 128 user presets per bank across 11 banks (Factory, Vintage and 9 user banks) integrating this classic synth concept seamlessly into any studio setup."
"In this Signal Colors: Primer, I'm taking a look at the Beautiful Noise: When The Sun Explodes, paired up w/ the Moog Werkstatt-01. A fun combo! Check out the sounds I'm getting with some great drive/distortion and spring reverb and an added trem effect."
"When The Sun Explodes is the ultimate tool for creating long ambient swells of atmospheric reverberation, to stuttering, chaotic feedback oscillations overloading your amplifier.
The core reverb emulates a classic spring tank, with a variety of controls to further shape the tone and length of the signal. The feedback footswitch engages a linear rising or LFO/tremolo controlled feedback loop, which forces the wet reverb signal back into the input creating some over-the-top noise effects, with a boost footswitch instantly doubling the amount of reverberation for an instant wave of sound. The output gain, with the additional clipping options of symmetrical, asymmetrical or no clipping selects between a range of gain shapes and amplitudes.
Plug any and all instruments into this box of utter sonic dystopia, for an endlessly reverberant, fuzzed out noise experience no effects pedal has yet to reach."

Playlist:
Novation Summit - A playing attempt at Brian Crain's "Imagining"
One of my favorite piano artists Brian Crain, his song 'Imagining' attempting to play it. IIt definitely takes some muscle memory, but I love this song, love to hear it sound on the Summit.
Novation Summit - "Morning Stroll" SM Plucked Keys
Took a walk outside with the family in our new neighborhood... beautiful sunny day. Much to be thankful for. a short inspirational piece from that played here. I hope wherever you are you will find an enjoyable stroll for yourself.
Could pass for a guitar sound, do you think? Credit to Orano's patch again, some reverb from the flashback and hall of fame, subtle reverb and delay on the Summit, I know I know.. why not just use one or the other. Well, it's convenient to alternate, the HoF and FB pedals are primarily not adjusted as it's also sent thru my mixer as an FX channel for other instruments. Enjoy.
Novation Summit - "Aisle" - Multi Mode - 1. SM 5th Sense 2. Sm Who's Afraid (Orano's single patches)
Credit to Orano's Novation Summit single patches, I split them in multi mode, as you'll usually see me do. In this improvisation I'm playing with the delay timing effects on the #2 patch while playing pad on the #1. The onboard delay and reverb effects gives instant breaths for your creative atmospheres.
Novation Summit - "Crystal Falls" Multi Setting (SM Leviathan and SM Popcorn Arp)
Patch creation credit to Orano Music @ https://www.orano.co.uk/shop. Just having fun with blending his patches, very lush and enjoyable, highly recommended!
Novation Summit - SM Leviathan (patch Created by Orano Music)
This patch (along with many others) was created by Orano Music
Novation Summit - "Legendary Keys" - Solo Piano - Multi Mode
I like taking the same single patch and splitting them between both the A and B sections. There are a few minor tweaks between the two sections of course, the A section I'll use for solo piano playing with some slight filter manipulations while the B section is mainly conducting the arp in the play tick on the arp knob, this basically follows the key strokes and does a catch up, so to say, as there is also delay and feedback being added for dynamic effect. I like being able to create an immersivity effect to keep me going in my solo playing. The Summit never fails to conveniently produce this very basic task.
Since OBS has fixed their NDI plugin, it's less work around for me to set up these recordings again. Thanks for listening. appreciate any comments or tips for solo piano playing and any other recommendations to help me along this Summit playing journey.
"Analog synthesizer with built-in echo and overdrive effects. Truly an evil and thorny beast, it will pump with a powerful drone and an icy wind piercing to the bones. Can be used as an effect to process the incoming signal.
Functional:
- Oscillator with two waveforms (saw, rectangle).
- Low pass filter.
- LFO with three waveforms.
- White noise generator.
- Envelope Attack and Release, button for manual start of the envelope.
- Voltage controlled amplifier, Attack and Release knobs.
- Echo effect on PT2399 chip
- Overdrive with two modes Hi and Low (more / less treble)
- CV input for modulation of the oscillator.
- Plus two additional CV inputs installed using the "intuitive synth building" method
Power supply: 9 volts, 250-500mA, minus in the center.
These rack extensions offer the power of our Eurorack modules with the ease of use in Reason. As Bundle 1 is to classic sounds (percussion, gorgeous synths, reverb), Bundle 2 is to sound design and experimentation.
Imitor is a delay designed for experimentation. With up to 32 delay taps and tons of time and tone parameters, Imitor is perfect for creating unusual echoes and experimenting with different delay shapes and patterns. We love Imitor so much that we use it for everything, from long, evolving echoes to effects like comb filtering, chorus, and flanging. Ask your doctor if Imitor is right for you.
Loquelic Vereor is a complex oscillator built around our interpretations of three classic synthesis algorithms (VOSIM, phase modulation, summation synthesis). Like the Loquelic Iteritas module it’s based on, this Swiss army knife of a synth is capable of a range of sounds that are sure to cut through your mix. Loquelic Vereor opens up incredible sound-design possibilities. Its two oscillators modulate each other for sounds you have never thought possible in a DAW. From outrageous, chaotic sounds to wild drum sounds to drones, basslines, and leads, with Loquelic Vereor, you can have it all.
Manis uses saw waves to realize its unparalleled sound. It can go from gritty and dark to smooth and beautiful with the tweak of a couple of sliders. Use Manis for almost anything from alien percussion and industrial grit to unique melodic parts and otherworldly sounds and sound effects."
"One complete Folktek Mescaline with frame power supply and collection of duPont patch cables. This is a hybrid of V2 Channel and V1 Motion and V1 Mental.
This unit is in great shape. The only blemish of note is 1 patch point that shows some wear but is fully functional. See pics for detail.
The power supply has a 3 part pigtail that powers all three modules from a single wallwart rated at 1500ma.
Includes original manual and some other info.
Mescaline is one of the finest times you'll have. It might seem intimidating at first but ultimately once you dive in, you realize there was nothing to fear and it's only here to help open you to extreme possibilities. It's capable of creating entire compositions and the possibilities are vast. -
Each of the 3 boards are eurorack compatible and can be installed in a eurorack system individually or all together. Each has its own eurorack power plug on the back. Each module is 44HP Each of these boards is capable of being powered on a standard 12v adapter. Each has a 2.1mm jack on the back. When used together, all power can be jumped to power all three boards off the same 12v power source or eurorack power source. A 12VDC power supply and 3 way jumper is included in this sale.
CHANNEL A 10 note polyphonic synthesizer with a sweet, warm sound and a huge custom designed reverb which also has an audio input and can be used to process external sound. Channel becomes a powerful effects processor with some very nice DSP designs we've been working on for the past year. -A touch-based synth which provides a sweet sounding 10 key oscillation based 10 filtered and reshaped analog square wave oscillators, each with a decay on the amp. -Each key is tuned individually and can be tuned to specific notes on the back via tuning trim pots so you can create intervals or pitch arrangements as you like. -Master pitch control (with control voltage) lets you change the tuning of all notes simultaneously. -10 note polyphony and all notes can be triggered. -Synthesis passes through any of 4 selectable custom DSP effects - reverb which is huge and near infinite, notated tight delay, pitch shifter delay and palindrome reverse delay. Each effect has mix, two controls over effect changes and a low pass filter or damping.
V2 has Gain stage adjustments on Channel V2 Noise filtering on Channel V2 pitch range trim pot added to allow for great control of the master frequency
-3.5mm jacks represent audio in, audio out (x2 = right and left), cv in. -Jumpable headers for all functions as well as power.
MOTION Motion is made up of two sequencers with simple but fully-capable function and some added function that other things don't/can't perform that help Mental to really shine. Both sequencers have clock division to break the rhythm but perhaps most important is how the trigger sequencer works - using opto-couplers (switches) to trigger parts within Mental to create sounds, textures and rhythms that voltage sources simply can't. It does this by directly connecting multiple parts within Mental. The CV does a great job of synching Channel.
Motion also has sine modulation (vactrol or cv), gate triggers, resets for the sequencers to determine sequence length, and can got into chaotic territory but jumping voltages into the clock inputs. -8 part CV Sequencer -8 part trigger sequencer with multi-add functionality -5 part clock division for each sequencer -vactrol-based sine modulation -3.5mm jacks represent clock in, cv sequencer clock out, cv sequencer cv out, modulation out, trigger sequencer clock out. -Jumpable headers for all functions as well as power.
MENTAL Capable of so many things. It's an incredibly unique drum synth that will create odd and beautiful beats for days. It's a Drone synth that's generates some incredibly rich drone with multi-oscillation and in-circuit filtering. It's an audio processor that can take any incoming audio and chop it into place, filter it, distort it and screw it in ways that nothing else does. -Based on the root synthesis of other Folktek instruments Materia, Mentalis and Matter. -17 input points to control synthesis and filtering via the sequencer trigger or cv points as well as the clock division points. -removable breadboard to allow for development and experimentation. -4 patchable pots to attenuate signals and gain more control *and/or* create direct patches to create drone scapes or use Mental as an audio processor. -volume control -3.5mm jacks represent audio out and two vacant with representative headers to input voltage or audio signals from external modules or audio sources. -send Mental to the input of Channel to add reverb to the signal. -Jumpable headers for all functions as well as power."

"Get Manis Iteritas individually or as part of Bundle 2 which includes Loquelic Vereor and Imitor: https://bit.ly/3LynNDF
Manis Iteritas uses saw waves to realize its unparalleled sound. It can go from gritty and dark to smooth and beautiful with the tweak of a couple of sliders. Use Manis for almost anything from alien percussion and industrial grit to unique melodic parts and otherworldly sounds and sound effects.
All Noise Engineering plugins feature an extensive modulation system so you can get your patches moving with LFOs, envelopes, and step sequencers – plus, modulators have adjustable randomization for easy humanization. Plus, loads of presets and a handy randomize button to get you started. More info on the LFO modulation controls: [posted here]"
These plugins offer the power of our Eurorack modules with the ease of your DAW. As Bundle 1 is to classic sounds (percussion, gorgeous synths, reverb), Bundle 2 is to sound design and experimentation.
Imitor is a delay designed for experimentation. With up to 32 delay taps and tons of time and tone parameters, Imitor is perfect for creating unusual echoes and experimenting with different delay shapes and patterns. We love Imitor so much that we use it for everything, from long, evolving echoes to effects like comb filtering, chorus, and flanging." Ask your doctor if Imitor is right for you.
Loquelic Vereor is a complex oscillator built around our interpretations of three classic synthesis algorithms (VOSIM, phase modulation, summation synthesis). Like the Loquelic Iteritas module it’s based on, this Swiss army knife of a synth is capable of a range of sounds that are sure to cut through your mix. Loquelic Vereor opens up incredible sound-design possibilities. Its two oscillators modulate each other for sounds you have never thought possible in a DAW. From outrageous, chaotic sounds to wild drum sounds to drones, basslines, and leads, with Loquelic Vereor, you can have it all.

"Super-rare Moog MuSonics Sonic V synthesizer from 1972! This is #96 out of only 100 made and the only one I’ve seen with a front panel overlay that differs slightly than others I’ve seen (which, admittedly, is not many and not at all in-person). It’s actually more in the aesthetic style of a VI, as far as that particular detail is concerned.
