"I had to open the synth to do some maintenance, so i made this movie to show you what there is inside the box.
Bass & Noise kindly provided by the synth itself
Drums made with Ns_kit7"

"Using the Suit & Tie Guy 3 pole diode ladder low pass filter (namely the Sea Devils Filter) along with a Synthesizers,com portable modular to lay down a backing rhythm track for a song I was working on. This video was put together to demonstrate the playability of the Q960, Q961, Q962 and Q963 sequencer modules as well as a first audio example of the Sea Devils Filter."
Roland SH-2 Vintage Analog Synthesizer
"Features:
2 VCOs + 1 Sub oscillator (waveforms: pulse, square, sawtooth, sine, noise)
Resonant, self-oscillating 24dB lowpass filter, mod by EG, LFO and Keyboard tracking.
External audio input
37Keys
CV/GATE CONTROL"
KORG MONO/POLY
"Features:
4 VCOs: triangle / sawtooth / PWM
VCO sync / x-modulation
44Keys
CV/GATE CONTROL
The SH-2 has been used Hardfloor, Tangerine Dream, The Orb, 808 State, Juno Reactor,
Megaton Matt Haines, Freddy Fresh, and the Chemical Brothers.
It has 4 VCOs which can be shared in 4-voice Polyphonic mode, or linked in Unison for a versatile monophonic lead.
TI SN76477 DIY Synth
"The SN76477 is a fully loaded synthesizer on a chip. Within its silicon boundaries lie the following functions:
* A Voltage Controlled Square Wave Oscillator
* A Super Low Frequency Oscillator (a fancy term for LFO)
* A VCA-like 'modulator'
* A Sweepable Digital Noise Generator (shift register based)
* A Filter for the Digital Noise Generator
* An Envelope Generator (Attack/Decay)
* A programmable Mixer
Thomas Henry published a design for a controller module, dubbed "The SuperController" based around the SN76477. In this application, the SN76477 was primarily used as a source for syncable gates, triggers, and LFO signals, but it did also feature the sweepable digital noise generator as a signal output.
John Blacet brought the SN76477 into the commercial synthesizer world with his excellent "Dark Star Chaos" module, a discontinued and still much-sought-after design produced by his company, Blacet Research. The DSC2000 took great advantage of the SN76477's capabilities. Its application was for creating sounds ranging from the sublime to the monstrous. One can still read about its functionality on the Blacet history page Blacet Research Cool Old Stuff Page. The SN76477 is also detailed in Wikipedia and many vintage synth sites."
ARP 2500 Modular Synthesizer
"Matrix working and sliders are moving smooth, just like you would expect.
All modules have their Matrix slidercaps, only the blank panels don't. This system requires 110V so the buyer has to use a voltage converter, if the system stays in Europe or if it goes to Australia. Rest of the world is 110V, so no voltage converter needed. This system has serial#75-023. So this one was built in the year 1972.The cabinet is complete metall with wood attached to the sides. The modules in this system are: Dual VCO 1023, Osc 1004-T, Dual Noise/Random Voltage Generator 1016, Dual Envelope 1033, Multimode Filter 1047, Dual Envelope 1033, FiltAmp 1006, Dual Envelope 1003a, ModAmp 1005, Multimode Filter 1047, Power Control 1002. The system does not have a keyboard,but it does have a midi kit installed by a professional, the midi is from Doepfer, model MCV-8. So as this system has midi,you can use any midi controller, or the good old cv/gate."
1977 KORG PS 3100
Yamah VL1

"Yamaha VL-1 Physical Modeling Keyboard (Rev 2). It sold for $6000 when it was first released by Yamaha in 1993, and only a couple thousand units were ever made. Here are some articles on the keyboard if you're not already familiar with it: Article One Article Two "
