Akai EWI3020M Modifications

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"Came across this lovely module by chance - CEM3374 and CEM3378, wow! Easy to mod as well :) gave it some more filter responses, more FM/FFM depth, and bumped the signal level up a bit. Micro-mono-xpander-light, heh..."

Waldorf Pulse Modifications

"Toying around with Filter FM and Minimoog-style Feedback."

Prophet 5 and Moog Muse

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"Little fun 'comparison' between Moog Muse and Sequential Prophet 5, Rev4. Some sounds are not super well matched, but you get the drift. Rev 4 filter is set to SSIi2140. The Muse is always on one side of the panorama and the Prophet 5 on the other. This is not meant as an 'whats better?' or 'can x replace y' thing - I was just interested in how close they can get for some basic sounds. WAV file can be downloaded here (scroll to teh very bottom of the page): https://maffez.com/?page_id=4776"

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"This is a simple clip of my modded MSW-810 synth, an awesome recreation of a Roland classic. What you hear is the MSW only (with a little reverb added), though my unit is modded quite substantially. More info: https://maffez.com/?page_id=3404"

Waldorf M - QCOMP Board Demo

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"This showcases some sounds of my Waldorf M with a passband level loss modification board for the analogue VCF. This simple board reduces some of the level drop on higher resonance settings and accentuates the coloration of the oscillator MW1 Mode. More info here: https://maffez.com/?page_id=4003"

MFB522 modded drum machine

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"This is an ode of sorts to the MFB522, IMO one of the best 808 derivations. Small in size big in sound and sporting such great cymbals and hats. I documented the insides a little for folks who want to do modifications or need service info. Check this link for more details and sounds: https://maffez.com/?page_id=4095"

MSW SY-1 / Pearl Syncussion Modifications

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"Got the Syncussion recreation by Michigan Synth Werks recently and could finally go fully in with modifications, something I would have never dared to do with my old Pearl SY-1. On this page here you find a documentation of DIY modifications for this iconic drum synthesiser (including filter resonance, vco hard sync, and oscillator mode switching at audio rates): https://maffez.com/?page_id=3864."

Sequential Prophet 5 REV4 MODS by Maffez Synth Mods

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"This is a dry recording of two modifications on the REV 4 - switchable Triangle Wave on OSC A and switchable Bandpass mode for the REV3 filter. Check my other REV 4 demo for single voice outputs. More on this IDY project here: https://maffez.com/?page_id=3556"

Prophet 5 Single Voice Out Mod - Maffez


"This is a demo of my DIY Prophet 5 Rev 4 expansion board which features, besides TRI Wave for VCO A and Bandpass Mode for the 3320 VCF, Single Voice Outputs. These are not your classic panorama mod but dedicated voice outputs with automatic muting (when the tuning routine runs) and main level control."

---

"These are some demos and a link to instructions for modifying your Prophet 5 Rev 4. What you get is a switchable TRI wave on Oscillator A and a funky bandpass filter option of the REV 3 filter. There's a whole extension board PCB setup at the bottom this page that gives you Single Outputs per Voice (including auto-mute and volume control) too! - https://maffez.com/?page_id=3556

This is a non-commercial DIY project, so tinker at your own risk."

Minilogue modifications (maffez)

video upload by Maffez Synthmods

"More info: https://maffez.com/?page_id=2471

Aside form some very spectacular case modifications, I did not find much in terms of modding the Minilogue, so hey... here we go. In this quick and dirty vid I show some mods only, more on my Minilogue page linked above. What you see and hear is the delay modded for more feedback, an entirely new bandpass filter mode, and some bonkers modification of cross mod and ring mod, where VCO one of one voice can modulate VCO of another voice, so your XM or RM sounds different per note/chord you play!"

MFB Dominion 1 Mods

Maffez Synthmods

"More info: https://maffez.com/?page_id=459

Demoing a couple of modifications for the Dominion 1 synthesizer, by means of which you can implement some nice pre-filter overdrive and more. Descriptions, pics and more (nicer) sound demos on the webpage linked above.

Live long and mod stuff!"

Also on the page above: "Apart from some technical analyses, this page contains a free sample pack for the new MPC series (X, Live, One), some fixes for a couple of shortcomings (such as clicky envelope outputs), and modifications for filter drive, different types of FFM and more."
