FARFISA POLYCHROME - vintage synthesizer / string machine HQ sound demo

YouTube via AnalogAudio1

"This video shows the Farfisa Polychrome played with a Roland DEP-5 FX processor for delay effects.

The Farfisa Polychrome from 1979 is one of the rarest Farfisa keyboards. It is a flexible string synthesizer / string ensemble with a very characterful, musical sound.

It has a PERCUSSIVE section, a STRING section, a ENSEMBLE section and a VOCAL CHORUS section. The most sections have VCF cutoff / resonance controls. It has a great phaser (with SPEED, EMPHASIS and TREMOLO controls), a noise generator, single outputs, an external input jack (for external signals, which can be treated with the Polychrome's chorus and phaser) and a lot more... It even has aftertouch! And it's fully polyphonic, too..."

"Awesome vintage drum machine. Commonly used in early hip hop...also, bass drum easily recognized from "Blue Monday" by New Order (they used a DMX, slightly more advanced version of the DX). This guy is currently for sale on eBay."

How to program a Roland TB 303 and TR 909

YouTube via klausito1970
"Another howto, this time for a Roland TB-303 Bassline and a TR-909 Rhythm Composer. For the 303 I used the pattern from Fatboy Slim's song: "Everybody needs a 303". The 909 pattern is a quite simple Kick, Snare and Hihat pattern.
Future Retro Mobius sequencer is master midi clock and the 303/909 follow as slaves. The 303 is connected via a Doepfer MSY2 converter.
Thanks for watching and have fun with your Roland stuff."

Korg Vintage Analog Synth MaxiKorg 800dv

via this auction
"he wonderful Korg MAxiKorg or 800dv is one of a kind. A unique analog synth from the pre-chips era. 4 VCO capable of producing FAT 4VCO monophonic leads or Dual 2-VCO duophonic chords or sequences. Upper VCO has coarse tuning, fine tuning, Octave 64-32-16-8-4-2, Waveforms Triangle-Square-Saw-Pulse-PWM (chorus)-Pink Noise. Plus Mixer with Ring-modulated 32-16-8-4-2 Sub-Oscillator.

Add to that PWM, Vibrato Speed and Depth with Delay, Pitch Bender Delay and Time and Portamento.

The lower VCO has about the same functions, but with White Noise instead of Pink noise (also has a Ringmodulated Saw with Octave Select). On top of that, you get Two VCA with selectable range Mod Source, and Hold, AR or ADS mode, one for each VCO pair.

Add also the famous 4 VCF filters sliders controlling 2 Highpass and 2 Lowpass cutoffs, with 3 steps selectable resonance and VCA mod. On top of that, you have a Pulse LFO allowing to repeat triggers in 5 different modes, like two voices at the time, voices alternating for pulsing leads, ajustable speed and Decay.

You also have two switches for controlling the playing mode, choosing which voice plays when one key pressed, or two key pressed.

You have access to individual voice volume control and independent audio outputs.

The keyboard is extremely stable, without drifting over time, and easy to tune."
