ARP Explorer 1

via this auction

"This was made somewhere between 1974-78 so it's at least 32 years old and for it's age it is in remarkable condition really! There is one small chip on the wood of the left-hand side end cheek as you can see from the pictures. Other than that all knobs and sliders function with a small bit of crackle on the frequency. I think a bit of a clean with some switch cleaner should sort it out but I thought I'd better mention.

It sounds great, very organic and 'real' like analogue synths of this era do. It comes with all the music stand, original sound cards, also in great condition, the manual and service manual. This synth is perfect for a collector really.

Future Retro Revolution

via this auction

"The Revolution is true analogue and all its sound is analogue generated except obviously the effects processor which is DSP based. The sequencer is just brilliant and once mastered you'll wonder how you ever did without it. (It really is that good). The CV and Gates allow me to control my Moog Rogue (also for sale) to get all the beeps and blips I ever needed. Imagine a 303 sequence but with a powerful Moog bass sound and you'll get the idea! … Now add some distortion! You can also route the signal from the headphone output back to modulate the filter's cutoff for some unusual self modulation effects. Experimenting with the ports at the back can lead to some crazy sounds indeed."

In doubt

YouTube via attorks | August 24, 2010

"Made this improvisation last evening. I was in doubt whether to share this video with you because I think the 'magic level' of the music is not that high. But maybe you think otherwise so here it is for you to judge. Row 1 of the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer drives the Synthesizers.com Modular. The Q963 trigger bus is used to mute individual steps for row 1. Row 2 drives the self-made Modular which 2 VCO's are set to an interval in the beginning of the video. Row 3 drives the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO which in its turn provides a triangle waveform to the Ian Fritz 5Pulser and a sawtooth waveform to the Blacet MiniWave. The outputs of the 5Pulser and the MiniWave are fed to the Resonant LoPass Gate which is modulated by the Ian Fritz All-In EG. The Roland XP-80 is used for the Mellotron strings sound. The Waldorf Q Keyboard is programmed with 4 different instruments. The solo's are performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 with some different voices.
