Korg PS3300 Exploration

"The Korg PS-3300 is one of the rarest and coolest sounding synths ever made. Which is why when Korg announced a limited edition 1 to 1 recreation of this legendary machine, synth enthusiasts around the world got seriously excited.

We were lucky enough to get one in the shop for a few days and had the chance to take it for a spin - and it did not disappoint!

It's basically 144 synthesizers in one. 3 full synth voices per key, with 48 keys. Each of the three sections can be fully edited and articulated independently to give a massive, complex and spacious sounding palette. Truly a synth that has to be played to fully understand it's potential.

While this may now be out of production again please get in touch with us if you'd like to pick one up - we're always on the tip when it comes to sourcing the hardest to find equipment for the shop."

"The Roland SH-5 is possibly the most feature rich vintage mono synth ever made by the legendary Japanese company. With 2 LFO's, 2 VCO's, 1 variable state VCF, 1 bandpass filter, 2 Envelopes, 1 VCA, S&H, Ring Mod and a simple but powerful switch matrix for routing modulation this synth is more than capable of making some of the most incredible tones and textures you can imagine!

Made in the late 1970's 'green face' Roland era, when their synths had a certain magic sound that is hard to describe. Fizzling and alive with electricity!

A handful of patch points on the back give you access to all the essential controls via CV so that this can play along nicely with a modern set-up.

This particular SH-5 has just been fully serviced in our Synthesizer Rejuvenation and Wellness Centre and comes with a 90 day warranty of good health. Original lid included."

Koma Elektronik Chromaplane with Oto Machines BIM

video upload by Nightlife Electronics

https://nightlife-electronics.com/

"The Koma Chromaplane has just landed in the shop and we just had to take it for spin!

Chromaplane has 10 independently tuneable analog oscillators that pass through a resonant low pass filter and a lo-fi PT2399 based digital delay.

The unique thing with the Chromaplane is in how you control and shape the dynamic output of the oscillators. Using two electromagnetic pick up coils positioned over the top of the instrument you can explore the blurred lines in the ether floating above and around the machine. From subtle and quiet drones to resonant and dynamic melodies.

Paired in this video we have the Oto Machines Bim to give some spatial ping pong effects. A super fun set up!"

New ULT-SOUND DS-4M Drum Synth Demos

video upload by Korablove Roman

Available at Nightlife Electronics

You can find additional demos in previous posts here.



"The DS-4 drum synth, which was released by Toyo Gakki in the 1980s under the "ULT--SOUND" brand and was used by the drummers of Japan's leading techno-pop group, has been revived in modern times. An inspiration for many modern drum machines, the DS-4 is heavily sought after for it's immediacy and ease of programming. As a 45 year old drum synthesizer, finding an original for a reasonable price without needing a complete restoration is not the easiest task. This is why the DS-4M project was brought into existence. Using all original schematics as well as original components, many of which are incredibly rare to find, the DS-4M is meticulously built by hand using thru-hole components. Physically, it is built like a tank to last for decades of enjoyment and creativity. What's more, modern MIDI and CV/GATE inputs have been added along with individual outputs and a high quality, balanced MAIN output ready to take the legacy of the Ultimate Sound DS-4 far into the future. The new functions also add an exciting twist: using the SINE or SQUARE waveforms, DS-4M also works as an up to 4 voice synthesizer, or any combination of drums/percussion with synths with accurate tuning as well"

Moog Muse Sequencer Arpeggio Combination

video upload by Nightlife Electronics

"The Moog Muse has a very complex and fully featured step sequencer. It also has a really fun arpeggiator and the great thing is that you can use these at the same time to create interesting interactions and variations to your sequence. You can even record directly into the sequencer from the arpeggiator!

Here the Muse is playing a simple patch that is given some help from the amazing sounding stereo diffusion delay.

You can check out Moog Muse (and a ton of other amazing synth gear) at Nightlife Electronics in Vancouver BC or right here on the world wide web: https://nightlife-electronics.com"
