"Another custom mK drone patch. Again this is the mK alone no other effects were used but the reverb on the mixer.

The batteries went dead on my camera, so you get an extra long ending banner, lol. The missing video would have show me kranking up the resonance on the layer 2 patch."

FIRSTMAN SQ01 SYNTH/SEQUENCER

via this auction
"Originally manufactured by multivox corporation (an american company i believe), manufactured some high quality synthesisers. Not to sure of the year, i think 1975-1981??... There are articles around on the web that state the filters to be moog like,and sounds alot better than the TB303, this is a matter of taste... CV and GATE connections for syncronization with other devices (CV &GATE IN,CV& GATE OUT). Two selectable waveforms, single ocillator. 4X4 memory locations for sequences."

Firstman BS-999 Bass Synth pedals

via this auction

"It’s a great sounding analog bass pedal system manufactured in Japan around the same time period that the Taurus 1 and II models were being marketed. It’s a great sounding instrument, giving you the type of sound that brings to mind that crazy fat but expensive Moog Taurus pedal sound. So just what is a Firstman BS-999? I would call it a poor mans Moog Taurus I. It’s made well, and is a completely 100% pre-midi analogue bass synthsesizer with real time performance controls. The mono bass sounds can range anywhere from being short and muted all the way to being real fat, with that VCA type mono synth sound so familiar with early analog synthesizers. A variety of sounds can be realized with this unit. There are three sections labeled Octave, Effect and Attack. There are 5 control pots above that section which fine tune the sound to the desired rate.There is a master tune knob that changes the pitch to a full half step up or down in either direction. There are also two pots that control overall tone and overall volume. There are two small red colored LEDs that are located above the Octave switches. The “hold” switch also has a corresponding red LED when activated. Both of the “Attack” switches labeled “percussion” and “Mute” also have red LEDs above them that light when active. In the Effect section, there is a hold button, a sustain button, and an “expand” button. The hold button holds a note until another is depressed. The sustain of the note can be turned on or off, and the sustain length is determined by the sustain rotary pot located on the top row of 5 pots. The “Expand” button, when selected, really has a dramatic effect on the sound. You immediately get that familiar single oscillator synth type sound so familiar with the mini Moogs and the Taurus pedals of the same time period. if you turn the rotary control knob back and forth while in the expanded mode, the sound is a classic VCF mono sweep! Very 70s! There is not much information out there on the internet about the Company Firstman International. How many were actually produced is anybody’s guess! I’ve read on one museum page for analog synthesizers that it was possible that the company was loosely associated with Univox."

"Doing a little not too serious side by side-comparisson between two selfsourced x0xb0xes and a TB-303.
Both of x0xb0xes uses the orginal Roland BA662-VCA but the blue one has a SK30Y-type transistor in the oscillator where the other one uses SK30-AO.

Unfortunatly the soundcard distoreted a little while recording. :)"

MicroKorg Space Drone b81

"A 4 oscillator + noise space drone using the microKorg.

This sounds like something that belongs in a sci-fi movie soundtrack or on an early Tangerine Dream album. It is one of my favorite patches on my microKorg (I've overwritten nearly every preset on it) and I thought I'd share it.

The VCA on the microKorg can't be opened up on its own so I created an arpeggiator to make the sustained droning without having to hold down the key (just set a slow attack and very slow release on the VCA). By setting it up in layered mode , you can have all 4 oscillators running at once + noise, a total of 8 virtual patches, and 4 LFOs."

ROLAND TR-55 VINTAGE DRUMBOX 1973 Also called RHYTHM 55

YouTube via AnalogAudio1
"The Roland TR-55 was one of the first Roland products - it is a compact rhythm box with excellent analog drum sounds - in fact, the typical Roland analog sound. A great feature is the BALANCE knob, which allow you to cancel the hihat sounds on every pattern - or to mix them to the pattern as loud as you want.
Patterns can be combined - so let's be creative! ;-)"
