Video re-uploaded as ellitone - lil’ dream organ - walnut and wenge *limited edition*

"*small batch - only 8 available - made from wenge/walnut/oak wood

ellitone.com

The ellitone lil' dream organ is a limited edition battery-powered polyphonic digital synthesizer with built-in amplified speaker.

Featuring 8 wooden Touch Bars, 16 oscillators, 8 selectable musical scales, and a collection of 50 waveforms to explore and blend using the ‘infinite tone’ knob. the lil dream organ is a fun and powerful electronic instrument capable of many tones and textures, simple enough for a youngster or beginner to operate.

Controls:

-‘infinite tone’ knob blends and mixes 2 separate layers of waveforms together. Each layer consists of 8 oscillators and each layer has its own unique selected waveform. As you turn the knob fully clockwise or fully counterclockwise, a new waveform is chosen from a collection of 50 waveforms and applied to one of the 2 layers. This means that you are infinitely blending in-between new combinations of waveforms continuously.

-musical scale select switches. 3 toggle switches at the top of the device are used to select one of the 8 musical note scales. These three switches operate using binary logic. With 3 switches, we have 8 unique combinations of switch positions (on/off/on…off/off/on…etc). Each one of these 8 possibilities selects a different musical scale to explore using the wooden Touch Bar keyboard notes.

video upload by Hispasonic

"At Superbooth 2026, Buchla unveils Ziggy: their most portable and accessible analog desktop synthesizer to date. Filmed at the Buchla booth in Berlin, this video walks through the instrument's main features and includes a full sound demo.

Ziggy distills the DNA of classic Buchla instruments into a compact, immediately playable format: complex oscillator, modulation oscillator, Cycler (envelope + pulser, à la 208c), lowpass gate and a stereo digital effects section with a brand-new ping pong delay. All modulation routing — normally done with patch cables on a Buchla — is handled through flexible assignments from the panel and the oscilloscope screen.

KEY FEATURES
Fully analog signal path + digital stereo effects True analog bypass (voltage divider) when dry is at zero "Programs" designed as a starting point, not as closed presets Fader quantization to scales (pentatonic minor, etc.) Oscilloscope screen doubles as the programming and mod-assignment display

CONNECTIVITY
USB-C (power + MIDI) plus a second USB-C dedicated to power 3.5 mm TRS Type A MIDI and 5-pin DIN MIDI
Eurorack patch points: gate, modulation, pressure and 1V/oct

Melodic Microtonal Sequencer
Berlin-based synth makers KOMA Elektronik reveal Monoplex, a performance-driven Eurorack sequencer built for evolving melodic control. Inspired by the Komplex Sequencer, it distills its hands-on philosophy into a focused, single-channel design packed with features. Patch everything into everything and let the melodies evolve.

Every core parameter can be voltage-controlled, opening the door to endlessly shifting yet fully deterministic sequences. From tight Berlin-school patterns to generative melodic systems, Monoplex encourages experimentation.

At its heart is a significantly expanded quantizer. Beyond chromatic, major, and minor modes, Monoplex allows you to upload your own scales via MIDI SysEx using our browser-based tool. Choose from thousands of microtonal scales or create and audition your own instantly.

A dedicated MIDI-note capture mode lets incoming notes define the active scale on the fly. Microtonal scales can also be played on MIDI Synthesizers via Pitch Bend information.

Compact and hands-on, Monoplex delivers an endless supply of melodies and modulations inside your Eurorack system.

"Get my new DX7 Patch Bank now — a premium collection of 32 of my best Electric Piano voices for the Yamaha DX7, DX7II and TX802, and for software or hardware that can import or load original Yamaha DX7 / DX7II voice data.

Price is only $12USD for the bank. You can get the bank from me directly through email here: espenkraft69@gmail.com You can also get the bank here:

https://thepatchbay.io/product/yamaha...

This is not a random bank put together overnight. These sounds have been with me for decades — some of them all the way back to the 1980s. They have been carefully selected, edited and refined over many years, and used by me on my own albums as well as in commercial music productions. Every sound in this collection earned its place. There is not a single filler patch here.

All 32 voices are Electric Piano based, but they sound much more varied than that. The have a wide musical range inside their category: some are glassy, some bell-like, some harder and more cutting, some soft and smooth, and some have that extra glossy, polished sheen that makes a part instantly sit right in a track. Some are more like pads, while others can be used as leads or bass depending on where you play it on the keys.
They are polished for maximum musicality and usability, and they work especially well either on their own, layered with other voices from this bank, or combined with other sounds in a full arrangement.

DRONE MUSIC / Make Noise STREGA / Universe Zen TESSERACT / Pro-Ject Elemental / perform by GIPNOZER

video upload by G I P N O Z E R

"In the beginning, there was only the Void, and within it were born the Shapers—beings of pure energy whose thoughts shaped the universe. They wove galaxies like webs, breathed life into stars, and created countless worlds inhabited by wondrous creatures. But in the very act of creation, a flaw was born, a disharmony the Shapers failed to foresee. Their creations, imbued with a spark of self-awareness, began to deviate from the intended plan, evolving in unpredictable directions. At first, these deviations were minor, but over time they gained momentum, giving rise to chaos and destruction. The Shapers tried to intervene, to direct, to correct, but their control weakened with each passing moment. The universe, once their perfect creation, became a rebellious force, devouring itself. Stars faded, planets disintegrated, and life, once so vibrant and diverse, died in agony. In the end, the Creators, exhausted and broken, watched as their universe collapsed into a point, returning to the very Void from which they had once emerged. And with it, they themselves vanished, leaving behind only a silent nothingness, an eternal testimony to the futility of even the most powerful plans.

"Greetings and awesome day to everyone. I am letting go my Roland CSQ-100 digital sequencer. If I recall correctly, the first instrument of its kind by Roland. I bought it last year full of thoughts how inspiring will it be for me and well... that hasnt happened much and I have used it for serious music only few times, so it is time to let it go. Optically in very good condition (only really minor wear and tear). Technically perfectly working and serviced (all electrolytic capacitors replaced, all faders/knobs/switches cleaned). It is a 100V Japanese voltage model and convertor for European use is needed (I can include it for additional 15eur)."

angine de poitrine - sarniezz (modular synth cover)

video upload by Jonathan MacKenzie

"angine de machine?

all sequenced from logic, lots and lots of pitch bend automation... midi cv mostly coming from expert sleepers fh-2, including one converter that's just velocity information for the hihats and one that's just a monophonic gate with no pitch (for the dfam). the configurability of the fh-2 is astounding

drums:
squid salmple with mostly linn samples, swapped in a 909 ride and 808 cowbell. gates from beatstep pro with aforementioned hihat velocity from the fh-2

bass:
mb2s all by itself (including midi conversion)

riff that mostly follows bass:
plaits (waveshaper algo) through tiptop forbidden planet though obne screen violence (disabled at first)

minor 2nd thing:
qu-bit surface in one of the e piano modes

riff 1:
qu-bit chord v2, a fair bit of malarky going on to get the right flavour of duophony. everything's kinda duplicated so at first it's just the first two oscillators then it gets doubled

riff 2 (first new riff in 4/4):
surface again, i switch it to monophonic during the stabs

riff 3:
qu-bit aurora running a dumb little oscillator firmware i wrote a few weeks ago (my first and so far only foray into writing dsp). ran it through after later stairs (stereo filter) with different lfos modulating left and right to move it around a bit. midi from beastep pro (this was the last voice i added and had used up all the outputs on the fh-2 and expander. still had the other sequencer on the bsp so i guess i could've added one more voice)

klek de machine:
dfam

--

the arrangement is slightly shorter, where everything's live rather than looped i can only add layers as long as i can add voices so i focused on what seemed like the more important ones. and while i spent a long time trying to figure out all the parts i'm still not quite sure what the bass (and guitar part that mostly doubles the bass) in the last section is doing. pretty sure i'm pretty close though.

"This is a unique opportunity to buy a monster synth, that is also a piece of synth pop history. Two cabinets plus the original keyboard, all lids, interconnection cables and original manual included. The first cabinet is a Roland System-700 Lab is one of the rarest and most sought-after modular synthesizers ever built.
Introduced in 1976 as part of Roland’s legendary System-700 series, the Lab version was designed as a compact, self-contained modular laboratory for advanced sound design, research, and education — but with the same discrete analog circuitry, massive sound, and build quality as the full studio system.

This one was owned by Bill Vorn, keyboardist of the synth-pop band Rational Youth, used in the following albums dated 1981 to 1983 : Rational Youth, Saturdays in Silesia, City of Night and I want to see the light, as reported in the certification signed by Bill Vorn himself, provided in the item. The second one is another original SYS 700 one, connected and internally cabled to the main one by means of the original cable, with the super rare modules that you see in the picture: an additional, multimode filter, the great output module and… a professionally custom module with a perfect ARP 2600 VCF clone… plus other stuff.

All the best Sys 700 modules, featuring the iconic vintage Roland tone — warm and incredibly dynamic — and offers an extraordinary range of sonic possibilities thanks to its flexible patch architecture. Perfect for collectors, professional studios, or synth enthusiasts looking for a centerpiece instrument with historical and musical significance. The system sports a comprehensive modular architecture with 3 oscillators, 2 filters, 2 VCAs, 6 envelopes (!), mixer, phaser, spring reverb (HUGE) and …utilities.

Legendary System-700 sound — powerful basses, evolving textures, experimental tones. What to say more? Fully functional and in very good cosmetic condition with minor signs of use. You will never find another in such condition. Last call…"
