BOSS SDE-3 Dual Delay Demo with Synths (no talking)

video upload by Bonedo Synthesizers

"In this video we check out the BOSS SDE-3 Dual Delay — a classic digital delay pedal that’s equally useful for synth rigs as it is for guitars. With two independent delay lines and intuitive controls, it lets you craft everything from tight slapbacks and dotted rhythms to lush, ambient repeats that enhance your synth textures.

We take a look at how its routing options and flexible timing settings can add depth and movement to pads, leads and sequences, making it a great creative tool for sound designers and live performers alike."

Korg Prophecy VST Plugin (Korg Collection 6) - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hi, everyone!

In the 1990s, PCM synths were at their peak, but club scene artists were already searching for a more flexible, analog sound, hinting at the coming analog revival of the 2000s.

It was in this context that the Prophecy was announced in 1995, offering more flexibility and timbral capabilities than ever before heard. Defined by the cutting edge digital signal processing technology and a DSP chip formerly used exclusively for effects processing, the Prophecy Solo Synthesizer is now available as a software plugin, with the ease of use, polyphony, and modern features necessary for today’s music production.

KORG Collection - Prophecy, a legendary physical modeling synthesizer developed with the aim of offering freedom of expression beyond analog synthesizers and unprecedented sound creation possibilities, has evolved even further in its expressive capabilities. In version 1.5, the quirks of the hardware Prophecy can now be expressed even more precisely thanks to deeper creative input from the brilliant minds in the original Prophecy development team.

Version 1.5 also adds 180 new programs. This unique sound collection brings out the individuality of the Prophecy, ranging from fresh, software-only sounds to those that pay homage to the original Prophecy and pushes monophonic sound design to all new levels.

Prophecy for Mac/Win uses software to fully reproduce the original Prophecy’s MOSS (Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System) and is equipped with five of the seven total oscillator types:

Standard Oscillator for Analog Synth Sounds
Noise + Comb Filtering
VPM (Variable Phase Modulation)
Cross / Ring / Modulation and Sync
Physical Modeling (Brass Model Oscillator, Reed Model Oscillator and Plucked String Oscillator)


The sounds from each oscillator model can be processed using a nonlinear wave shaper. In addition to the oscillator and wave shaper sections, there is also a sub oscillator and noise generator.

Grab it! You won't be disappointed.

Absynth 6 by Native Instruments - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hi, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the stunning Absynth 6 by Native Instruments.

Absynth 6 marks the return of a legendary semi-modular synthesizer. Built for textures that transform and breathe, it invites you to shape sounds that are entirely your own. Deep enough for complex sound design, and intuitive enough for newcomers, it opens up distinctive, living sounds for cinematic cues, ambient soundscapes, and electronic productions.

Absynth has a long, storied history of surreal sound. The strange textures and dreamlike tones return with Absynth 6, the latest in this prestigious line of semi-modular synths.

This version keeps the heart of the hybrid engine you know. It combines subtractive, FM, wavetable, and granular synthesis into one flow that makes unusual sounds feel natural to create. A refreshed interface, a new waveform editor, and an intuitive visual browser make it easier than ever to craft otherworldly soundscapes.

The launch of Absynth 6 is the story of rebirth. It honors the strange beauty that defined the original, while bringing it into a new era with a new suite of tools and accessibility features.

Truly a sound-designer's dream, opening up endless creative possibilities!"

"THE FLORIAN SCHNEIDER COLLECTION

Auction to be held at Musician's Hall of Fame & Museum, Nashville, on November 19

An incredible collection of more than 450 artifacts from the life and career of Florian Schneider, co-founder of the pioneer electronic band Kraftwerk."

Pics and videos featuring some of the gear below, and his Lederhosen for good measure (thanks greg!).

Update: the post has been fully updated with all the synth related gear. This may just well be the longest post to be featured on the site. I wanted to capture all the pics for all of the details including notes, scuffs, and of course serial numbers. It's an interesting look into what he used, the condition he keped his gear, in some cases, how he actually used his gear. Note the phonetics on the keys of the Casio CZ-101 and DX-100. Note the Midi Switch Box with a built-in speaker? What's that about? Note the camouflage key strap on the Korg RK-100 Remote Keyboard. Did he pick it out himself or did the keytar just come with it? Note the repeat midi controllers and the MIDI saxaphones. Wind was his primary instrument. You'll find a ton of the acoustic gear he used in the other listings. This is a fascinating insight into both what and how he used his gear.

Rack Mount Sennheiser VSM-201 Vocoder

Starting Bid $5,000

Estimate $20,000 - $40,000 USD

A late 1970s Sennheiser VSM 201 Vocoder with no serial number from the personal studio and collection of Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk (see images). While it’s said that only a few dozen of these Vocoders were produced, a few examples made it into the hands of forward-thinking musical artists including Herbie Hancock, Daft Punk, and of course, Kraftwerk, who used a VSM-201 like this on their albums Man Machine (1978) and Computerworld (1981). The VSM-201 has an intelligible sound that has not yet been bested by modern gear. Includes power cable. This VSM-201 has been removed from its wooden enclosure (which bears the serial number plate) and modified with a metal rack mount casing, presumably for live use. Requires 240v, IEC power cable not included.

Dimensions: 19 x 9 x 9 inches

Category: Kraftwerk, Equipment

Provenance: PROVENANCE From the Estate of Florian Schneider

The Analog Eclipse | KORG minilogue xd | Dark to Rock One-Synth-Jam

video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"Even though I’ve got dozens of unfinished projects on my trusty Teenage Engineering OP-XY (some of them almost ready) I felt the need to break the cycle. I had the sense I was starting to repeat myself. So I turned to one of my favorite analog synths, the KORG minilogue xd, looking for a patch that could spark something new. And from that came this track… though I’m still not sure what exactly it is.

As usual, the atmosphere is dark, but halfway through it unexpectedly takes on a rock-inspired twist before returning to its original mood. I even tried reworking the idea on the OP-XY to make it more polished (and complex), but in the end I decided to record it raw—exactly as it came to me.

Hope you enjoy it. I plan to explore this same process on other synths as well. Let me know in the comments if this journey through analog synth sound design intrigues you.

How do you feel about modifying vintage synths?

video upload by Soundgas

"How do you feel about modifying vintage synths?

Just got my EMS Synthi AKS back from a thorough overhaul and with a stack of mods added (it’d already had some historic and less than pretty ones installed).

People often ask whether modifying a synth like this affects value. While there’s no denying it can feel sacrilegious when you’re talking about an exceptionally well preserved example, I am 100% for anything that means old gear will get used more.

One of the worst things you can do with old gear is put it on a shelf and not use it. We regularly get contacted by collectors (or people who no longer use their now valuable vintage synths) expecting top prices for their precious instruments which come ‘serviced’ and ‘working perfectly - last time I used it’. A little digging usually reveals this to have been a decade or more ago and the service work is ancient history.

So if modding that classic synth means you’ll play it more and enjoy it, that to me is a no brainer.

I understand that this puts us at odds with many vintage synth collectors, but the majority of our customers - who want to use them (shock horror) for making music - seem to agree.

What do you think? Modify old gear or not?"

My Head's About to Explode! // OB-6 vs TEO-5

video upload by Starsky Carr

"More choices.. too many choices? So many great synths from the Sequential/Oberheim folks alone. Now I've finally got the Oberheim OB6 and TEO-5 together and loads of you have asked if I've ever demo'd them both and which one would I choose... here's an in-depth look at the differences.

The TEO-5 has a more modern and flexible approach, whereas the OB-6 gives more of the vintage experience. Full mod matrix vs Poly-Mod style section should give a good idea of what I'm talking about. But other additions to the TEO-5 like DADSR and loop-able envelopes, LFO skew, LFO retigger, all give a more comprehensive sound design tool.

Sonically they are very close. The OB-6 is a brighter, the TEO-5 has more resonance if you want it. The FX on the TEO-5 also outstrip the OB-6. SO on paper it's a no brainer... the TEO-5 specs win the day. BUT what are they like to use, and which. would you pick if you had the choice?"
