Africa on the Prophet '08

"Me playing Toto's Africa on the Prophet '08 through the Korg miniKP. A dual brass patch with 4 note polyphony. Nothing great but enjoy it anyway. Read more in Shepit.blogspot.com"

Roland D-50 & Alesis Andromeda


YouTube via Hossinfeffa
"Little experiment done in a style similar to RetroSound. I made a choir patch on the D-50, and MIDI'd the D-50 to the Andromeda's analog pad sound. These two combined shocked me as it was a heavenly combination that seems like something from a JD-800."

Quad LFO and Wave Multiplier Demo


YouTube via boobtube356
"Doepfer quad LFO modulating an A-137 wave multiplier to demonstrate what can be done with these two modules alone. One of the LFOs is providing audio to the A-137. The other modules involved are not altering the sound."

Quad LFO Audio Drone Demo


YouTube via boobtube356
"This is just a simple demo of the Doepfer quad LFO operating in audio range. The other module involved is the A-138 exp mixer."

Roland System 100m 184

"For those unfamilair with the specification, there is a built in arpegiator with 4 modes (up, down, up & down or random) which can run from the internal clock, or can be sync'd to external audio.
There are also 2 monophonic and 2 polyphonic modes, depending on how you want to use this in terms of how the notes are assigned out. Also allows for portmento, and use of the classic roland 'bender'

The polyphonic 4cv can be used to control system 100m modules, or any other compatable modular synth system (doepfer, analog solutions, analog systems etc). There is no reason too, if you really wanted to, that you couldn't use this to control one or more monophonic analog synths as long as they have appropriate cv/gate inputs."

Polivoks

"The Polivoks is the most popular vintage Russian synth made in the early 80's - it was among the first synthesizers produced in the USSR. It had 2 oscillators with pulse or triangle waves, and 1 noise generator, the levels of which were controlled via the internal mixer. You could also connect an external input (guitar, electric piano etc) for mangling with the Polivoks' switchable high/low pass filter and LFO.

Polivoks had been produced since 1982 by Formanta electronic factory (one of the biggest at the time); it was sold exclusively in the USSR. Polivoks has its own particular electronic parts, reliable keyboard (49 notes F to E) made in magnetically controlled contacts; synthesis modules consist of independent boards, which is convenient for maintenance. The synthesizer has 2-voices polyphony; each oscillator works with a keyboard note independently; two types of filters - bandpass/lowpass and external input for cutoff control. In addition, Polivoks is housed in an original body of uncommon design with handy controls. Being closed with a cover, the synthesizer turns into a strong aluminum case.
