Oberheim TEO-5 does Tangerine Dream style sequences

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"Oberheim TEO-5 being sequenced from a Behringer 960 sequential controller with ratchets added using a Doepfer A-160-5 and the CV/Gate converted to Midi using Tubbutec uTune module. Eventide Timefactor Delay added in mixer output."

Oberheim OB-8

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"Quick demo of the over sized , great sounding Oberheim OB-8 with the cheap non velocity keyboard implementation that everyone used at the time compared to the sequential T8 that had a great keyboard but didn't sound as good as the prophet 5! I prefer my TEO-5 or the OB6 I had before but I still have the rev4 Prophet 5 desktop."

"First improvisation with the TEO-5 in the mix. The only sequencer used is the one in the TEO. I know it's the same sequence I always do and there are some bum notes..."

Doepfer A-101-8 Photo Phasing slimline Krautrock Phaser - first test

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"A-101-8 top right in rack. Putting various sound sources through this very compact 8 stage version of the Krautrock phaser which is a clone of the Compact Phasing A. A-143-3 quad LFO provides the CV."

Teenage Engineering EP-1320 Medieval sampling beat machine

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"First try of this unique medieval style sampler. Comes without any leads so this is recorded from the small on board speaker. I haven't read the manual yet..."

Desert Deployment

"Improvised electronic music in the old 1970s style. Gets nice and dirty nine minutes in..."

Studio Electronics MidiMini

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"As these are quite rare I thought I would make a video while I was testing this one after a repair and service. It is basically a minimoog in a rack with midi and more features - sounds great... played from my trusty and rather dusty Arturia Keystep. Please click thru to get the various tones as this is quite a long video for Minimoog fans and nerds."

Oberheim OB-8 polyphonic synthesizer

"Making sounds in manual mode."

Waldorf micro Q keyboard internal demo songs

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"Just replaced the (laptop type) power supply in this one and thought I would upload a video as they are quite rare. Silly choice to have a laptop power supply fitted internally, external like the modules would have been more easily serviceable. At the end of the video I show the nearest equivalent power supply I was able to get that would fit nice with a little metal bending. Beware the after touch connector that will always pop off if you open one of these up... not an easy service but sounds good."

Behringer Bi-Phase pedal (newer pedals are labelled as Dual Phase)

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"First test of this pedal with a sequence from a vintage Korg MS20. The CV input to the pedal is coming from a 960 sequential controller with an 8 note sequence to control phase or gen 1 rate."

Winds of Time

"Improvisation in the style of the much missed Klaus Schulze. I have just acquired an Elka Rhapsody 610 in lovely condition and thought I would use it in a Berlin School piece. You can clearly hear how it was used by Tangerine Dream on albums made from 1975 onwards."

Behringer System 100 with two 182 sequencers

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"Just rearranged my modules and added another 182 sequencer and 172 phaser/delay. Put the sequencers on the side so there would be less cables in the way of the pots."

Minimoog with old type oscillators playing and making sounds demo

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"The first versions of the minimoog oscillator were prone to drifting with temperature changes so were a pain to keep in tune at gigs and outdoor events. I have found however, that they can work perfectly well in a studio if calibrated correctly. This one has a serial number in the 8000 range and had multi turn pots fitted to the master tune and osciliator 2 and 3 tune probably in an attempt to make it more useable live. I have just finished servicing it. Now over 50 years since they were introduced it still sounds marvellous."

Minimoog Special Edition serial number 01 of last batch of 25 built by Moog Music.

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"Testing and making sounds on the Special Edition serial number 01 of the final 25 minimoogs made by Moog Music which belonged to the late, great and much missed Jon Lord of Deep Purple. This one has the later more stable oscillators and has a scalable CV out jack which adds mod wheel CV to the pitch CV so you can play another synth from the minimoog."
