Can a sampler eat itself? (recursive sampling into oblivion)

video upload by djr brunstein

"Patch Memory 7. Patching the Venus Instruments Veno-Orbit back into itself to see what chaos ensues!

Output feeds back into input, via a reverb (my micro Dervish); Pamela's New Workout sequences record, play, pitch, reverse, start position and length across both channels. The module becomes its own sound source. I wasn't sure if I should try and make a sample pack from this one. If you want that, let me know in the comments!

Price is $15USD.

64 original patches with focus on dreamy, ethereal sounds in the tradition of David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti. All the patches have names taken from Twin Peaks.
In the demo video I play through some of the patches. I've added a touch of reverb to the patches.

This is a sysex download and you must transfer this bank from your computer to the synth. Check the manual for more info or see my first Alpha Juno patch bank video for how to do this."

Learn More → https://www.minimal.audio/products/lucid

Unlock sounds that couldn’t exist until now with Lucid—our dream granular effect built for creating vivid textures, harmonies, rhythms, and transformations that stay in key and in time.

Explore over 350 presets across 13 packs, covering everything from harmonic layering and synced rhythms to shimmering spaces and total transformations—each built to get bold, track-ready results fast.

Check out the manual → https://www.minimal.audio/lucid-manual"

"Lucid is a next-generation granular effect that rebuilds any sound grain by grain into musical textures, harmonies, and rhythmic effects—always in key, in time, and fully under your control.

Lucid provides complete musical control over time and pitch, producing vibrant sounds that couldn't have existed before, always in key, without breaking creative flow.

Industry-first grain scale-locking automatically tunes every grain to your chosen scale, while timeline sync keeps stretching, freezing, and playback locked to your session. Together, they let you reshape pitch and time freely without losing the musical foundation, while additional per-grain effects provide detailed granular shaping capabilities.

With a music-first workflow, Lucid can be dropped onto any source and shaped immediately. From subtle layering to complete transformations, its presets, per-grain processing, harmonic tools, and deep modulation make it easy to start quickly and go as far as you want."

The Strangest, Most Interesting Synth He's Played This Year (Morphor Echon6)

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Morphor Echon6 is the world's first analog modal polysynth — a genuine departure from the wall of subtractive synths flooding the market right now. In this review and demo I dig into its Karplus-Strong-based exciter and resonator, six voices you can split into six independent monosynths, and a modulation system so intuitive it doesn't need a menu. Full raw demo at the end so you can hear it completely unprocessed.

WHAT IS MODAL SYNTHESIS?
Modal synthesis uses a Karplus-Strong oscillator — an exciter (like a pluck, bow, or hammer) run through a resonator (like a string or instrument body) — to fake physical, plucked/struck sounds. First proposed by Kevin Karplus and Alexander Strong back in 1982, you'll recognise the concept from modules like Mutable Instruments Plaits, Rings and Braids, and digital oscillators in synths like the Arturia MiniFreak and Korg Minilogue XD. The Echon6 takes that same idea and builds it entirely in analog circuitry — as far as I know, the first synth to pull that off.

MY TAKE
The Echon6 is a genuinely fresh alternative to the current glut of subtractive synths — your Jupiters, Junos, Prophets, and OB-style clones. It felt natural within minutes, the modulation is some of the cleverest I've used on any hardware synth, and the build quality is excellent. Compared to the Erica Synths Steampipe (digital modal synthesis), the Echon6 is easier to learn, while the Steampipe can get more chaotic, faster, thanks to its distortion and reverb. Both are worth a look if experimental modal synthesis is your thing — but the Echon6 gets a big thumbs up from me.

Electronic Music Laboratories Electrocomp EML-101 SN 475

via this Reverb listing

"This is a very rare Electrocomp 101 (Serial # 475) in a very good condition. It has been fully serviced and has no issues whatsoever.

I'm the third owner of this unit. Some mods were done in the 1970's by John Phelan, one of the engineers @ EML which makes this unit totally unique. Here's the functionality of the added 3 switches:

The switch near the Glide Control, multiplies and lengthens the glide time as the pitch slides from note to note. The switch below the filter turns the BP (bandpass) filter setting, into band reject (meaning it provides highpass and lowpass filtering simultaneously).
The switch next to the mixer changes the character of the noise (from white to pink)
I took great care of the unit and used it only in my studio. I'm selling it because I'm simply not using it at all. This 101 comes with original manual and documentation."

Note SN 475 was listed back in 2014.

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

"This monstrous synth is in great shape and sounds fantastic. There are eight analog voices which can be panned individually for some really interesting stereo sounds. The keyboard can be split or doubled and there are two oscillators per voice. It is a very warm sounding synth great for massive chords, basses and leads. This model has MIDI in out and thru.

It is quite a beast, with all the great 80s vibe and that classic Oberheim sound. In fantastic working and cometic condition overall. Serial No. 050516

Service notes:

-Replaced firmware IC
-Replaced several failied CMOS logic chips
-Recapped bend assembly and processor pcbs
-Repaired D/A converters on voice boards
-Cleaned panel controls
-Fully calibrated
-Repaired autotune circuit
-Replaced missing hardware"

Steiner-Connolly Synthacon SN 0010

"Am extremely sad to sell my Steiner-Connolly Synthacon

This was handmade by Robbie Connolly (The Killers) and his team under the direction of his neighbor Nyle Steiner who built and designed the original Steiner-Parker Synthesizers in the 70's. Made with real through hole circuitry and manufactured by a small team in Provo, Utah these are as luxury of a synth as you can get.

I had the pleasure of working on their team which is where I earned this, but now must part ways with it to pay off some debt.

I am really not eager to part with this, so it's priced accordingly...

Everything works, no visible imperfections I am aware of. Been kept in my home studio.

This is serial number 10, and I am unsure as to whether they're making more of these or not..."
