Official Demo - Microkorg 2 Soundset by Jexus

video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)

"Thoughts & info: https://sounds-for-synths.com/korg-mi...

I did not use any external FX in the demo, no layers, no loopers, etc. All the delays and reverbs are part of the Microkorg-2 engine. My presets are single-timbre so you don’t lose your 8-voice polyphony. The presets come as computer files in “mk2prog” format. Just load them into the Microkorg-2 by using its flash drive feature (boot your Microkorg-2 in “disk mode”, and when it appears as a new disk drive you can just open / explore it and copy + paste the files). You will have the freedom to import my presets into Bank CLASSIC or MODERN or FUTURE or USER on your Microkorg 2."

Oscillation Drift | Korg MS-20 Patch Walkthrough | MS-20 Patch Discussion

video upload by Dr. Synthy Pants

"This video presents a short improvised piece evoking a simple, melancholy, lullaby-like atmosphere, realized on the Korg MS-20 analog synthesizer. Greg outlines the sound design process which starts as a simple triangle wave and is transformed via ring modulation from a second oscillator, which is itself dynamically pitch-modulated by an external CV sequencer (Korg SQ-64). The result is a dynamic and slightly unpredictable texture that creates a sense of organic movement and showcases an inventive method to extract an unusual sonic character from a vintage instrument that lacks extensive built-in expressive controls."

PRESS RELEASE -- April 22, 2025 --

Cherry Audio is proud to introduce Yellowjacket, an innovative virtual synthesizer that pays tribute to the legendary 1978 EDP Wasp synthesizer. Yellowjacket perfectly replicates the Wasp's distinct buzzy tone and its hybrid analog/digital design, while incorporating modern features that enhance its creative possibilities. The outcome is an affordable synthesizer plugin that combines a rich historical legacy with cutting-edge functionality for today's musicians and producers. Yellowjacket synthesizer is available immediately for only $49. Additionally, Yellowjacket can be purchased as part of Cherry Audio's "Build Your Own Bundle" value options, Pick 3 (on sale for $99) and Pick 6 (on sale for $149), for a limited time.

Yellowjacket perfectly embodies the appearance and charm of the original Wasp, as well as the distinctive sound of its unique oscillators and signature state-variable filter. At the same time, it pushes the limits with Cherry Audio's characteristic innovations to bring this cherished classic into the 21st century. Highlights include:
16-voice polyphony alongside monophonic, unison, and cycle modes
Two oscillators with options for sawtooth, pulse, or square waveforms, as well as the enhanced modulated pulse-wave based on EDP's Gnat synthesizer
Innovative multi-voice modes that provide per-note variation with "chained" mini-synth panels, each featuring its own settings for dynamic tonal options that can create subtle or extreme timbres, single-finger chords and arpeggiated patterns, and more
A new advanced arpeggiator featuring probability and humanize controls adds randomness to patterns. When combined with cycle modes it can create transposable and even unpredictable four-note step sequences with the touch of a single key
Enhanced performance features, including support for polyphonic aftertouch, diatonic scales, transpose functions, and more
Studio-quality integrated effects, including reverb, delay, phaser, chorus, and a new Octafuzz distortion
A vintage-style onboard speaker emulation with adjustable hiss and hum for nostalgic, lo-fi tones
The original Wasp, developed by the late Chris Huggett and Adrian Wagner for Electronic Dream Plant (EDP), was a groundbreaking instrument that combined affordability with innovative design. Introduced in 1978 for just £200, it made electronic music creation accessible to a whole new audience and influenced the sound of artists such as Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran), Dave Greenfield (The Stranglers), Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), and Thomas Dolby.

Considered Britain's foremost synthesizer designer, Yellowjacket is a celebration of Chris Huggett's pioneering spirit. Cherry Audio has incorporated its latest features into Yellowjacket inspired by his innovations, ensuring his legacy resonates with new generations of musicians.

Yellowjacket features more than 270 professionally designed presets across a dozen categories, providing limitless creative possibilities right from the start. Yellowjacket also supports velocity, channel and polyphonic aftertouch with compatible USB/MIDI controllers, and seamless DAW integration for any studio environment.

Alongside the launch of Yellowjacket, Cherry Audio is introducing the Hive Mind Preset Pack for just $9.99. This pack features an additional 100 presets designed to further showcase Yellowjacket's advanced capabilities, with a deeper dive into arpeggios, effects, modulation, and aftertouch.

Yellowjacket exemplifies Cherry Audio's commitment to providing high-quality sound at an unbeatable price. At just $49, Yellowjacket is an excellent choice for synth enthusiasts who appreciate both exceptional tone and affordability. Additionally, until May 5th, Yellowjacket can be purchased as part of Cherry Audio's "Build Your Own Bundle" options.

VEMIA is Peter Forrest's auction house. He is the author of The A-Z of Analogue Synthesizer Books.

"SCHOBER TUNESMITH (new start price to allow bids from outside the seller's tax region) Very rare monophonic transistor synth, single oscillator, circa 1968, sold as a kit or pre-assembled. The voice switch activates different static filters, providing 6 markedly different tones from bright sawtooth to mellow triangle. This short video [posted here] of the same model clearly shows the sounds ---- I read that the keyboard is a Pratt-Reed that uses series resistance rather than a matrix. This model for auction has clear strong sound with almost no hum whatsoever. The main problem is the tuning is way off, and some notes glitch a little. Not difficult to repair, I would think. Also the vibrato is not working, probably just a bad resistor, should be easy to fix. Body is solid and in good condition for a 57-year old instrument, so it hasn't been knocked about. Keyboard and control panel are very clean, almost no scratches. Mainly home or studio use, probably. The three tools contained inside the lid are a complete mystery, which may be solved once you look inside the unit! While this is offered as a 'project' the encouraging thing is how bright and clear it sounds, and once tuning and vibrato are fixed, you have a very playable instrument similar to a Clavioline. It's a worthwhile project, I would say. Power is 105-120V 50/60 cycles, with a 2-pin US-style mains plug. I've given it a very low start price. SHIPPING: This Tunesmith is located in Japan, and weighs (packed) approximately 7kg. Discounted shipping to UK/Europe/USA will be £30 surface, £80 air. For other countries, please enquire."

The real treasure of this listing is the complete set of 6 FUNCTIONING original Soviet pentagon-shaped drum pads in very good condition. These pads are highly sought after and difficult to find as a complete set. All 6 pads are responsive and in proper working order.

The Module - For Repair/Parts

The main Marsh UDS analog module powers on (produces hum through Line out) and detects pad strikes, but does not produce sounds. The unit responds when striking the pads but no audio output is generated. The module requires professional diagnosis and repair."

1972 Moog MuSonics Sonic V Super Rare Synth #96/100 Made

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

You can find a video covering the Sonic V previously posted here.

"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"

Otherwise everything appears to be working but because of the issues mentioned, I'm selling this AS IS to be used with some servicing/adjustment."

Behringer Model 15: 50 Experimental Patches. No Talking Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Welcome to the soundset for the semi-modular synthesizer Behringer Model 15. "Explorer" is a collection of 50 experimental yet usable patches: 12 Leads, 10 Basses, 9 Plucks, 10 Arps, 6 Drones, and 3 Chords.
💾 This soundset offers aggressive, bright, detuned, freaky, noisy, atonal, metallic, generative, evolving, and rhythmic timbres. It stands in contrast to my previous release, "Analog Classics," where I focused on more regular, basic, and classical timbres.
In the "Explorer" bank of presets, I aimed to dive deeper into the modular nature of the Model 15, pushing its boundaries to achieve the most interesting and exciting results.

📦 Get this soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/behr...

🎨 Some timbres are designed to take the lead in a track or jam session, while others work perfectly as complementary elements. While the patches are ready to use as they are, I highly recommend tweaking the knobs during your performance to further develop the sound and enhance your creative experience.

🥁 These presets are versatile and suitable for a wide range of genres, including ambient, electronica, IDM, deep techno, house, progressive, trance, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, cinematic, breaks, synthwave, retrowave, dub, and more.

📚 The soundset is provided as a PDF document, with each page containing detailed notes that explain how each patch works, which parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to evolve the timbre during a performance. By following these notes and making adjustments consciously, you’ll not only get the most out of the patches but also gain a deeper understanding of the synth itself, uncovering its full potential and creative depth.

🎧 Each patch comes with an audio example to help you understand how the timbre is intended to sound, making it easier to integrate into your productions.
To recreate these patches, you will need up to 8 patch cables.

💡 I added pads and drum loops for the video demo to place the presets in a musical context.
These drums and pads are not included in the soundset. I added third-party delay and reverb to the video demo."

Templo Devices T2 - Recreation of the Maestro G2 Guitar Synth Effects Pedal

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by 60 Cycle Hum

"Back in the late 60's Maestro came out with a multi effects unit that was super weird. Fuzz, tremolo, envelope filter, low octave and even percussion settings all mashed together into a playing dynamic triggered, creativity inducing fever dream. Half a century later Templo has recreated that experience with pedalboard friendly modern convenience."

You can find some pics of the original G2 here.

via this listing

"Templo Devices T2 Multi-Effect

Based on a classic coveted Maestro Rhythm N' Sound effect console from the 60's, this unit has kept the original analog flavor, while adding some much needed footswitch functionality.

Combining many unique effects in a handy, pedal-board friendly version, the Templo T2 has the following features:

PERCUSSION

-A percussion synthesizer with 4 different sounds that are triggered by the instrument attack

BASS STRINGS

- A sub-octave generator with quick decay on initial pick attack


FUZZ

- A fuzz effect with parallel dry-blend option (Natural Amp)

WOW WOW

- A triggered filter effect with two fixed (cocked wah) color tone positions

ECHO REPEAT

- A percussive tremolo that resets with each note played giving the illusion of a delay effect.

The main advantage to this unit over a vintage unit (besides availability and price) is the handy footswitching arrangement:

The CANCEL footswitch true-bypasses the entire pedal.

The FUZZ footswitch toggles the fuzz effect, and:

-When the fuzz is bypassed, the Natural Amp setting is always on.

-When fuzz is engaged, the Natural Amp rocker switch toggles a dry blend in parallel with the fuzz

The WOW footswitch bypasses the modulation section, comprising the WOW-WOW, ECHO REPEAT and COLOR TONES 1 and 2 effects. These can be selected for use with the rocker switches and then bypassed using the footswitch.

This pedal is very fun, funky and colorful, imparting a vintage, somewhat lofi vibe to your sonic signature.

The T2 operates on a standard 18V DC center negative power supply.

We recommend running it from a dedicated power supply, as it may sometimes have issues with a multi-output supply.

All analog construction, with mechanical true bypass switching."

Modular Sound Quality

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"It can be a real drag if you're starting with modular and get a noisy signal from your case, even when you don't run any sounds yet. It can be an even bigger drag if you still encounter these problems years later. It doesn't have to be just hum and interference, it can be your mains, too many USB loops on the same PC, etc. In most cases, these problems are about bad power and your modules may be in survival mode. And how about output modules? Does a cheap output sound worse compared to an expensive one?
I had no idea where to find the low hanging fruit in our quest for best possible sound quality."

"00% working and currently has the original preset bank loaded. The membrane switches are all working. Over the years the unit has had a few repairs, including one of the pot muxes and replacement of all of the VCO tuning caps (Believe me, you want this done on any Polaris you find) The headphone out circuit on these is a rather poor design, which causes a good deal of hum. I have disabled this, as I want the cleanest sound I can get from the Hi Z output jack. (The Hi impedance output is the one that sounds the best) All of the keys are working perfectly. One key has a slight wiggle, which is very minor and doesn't affect playing."
