"HOW TO: Connect an Analogue Solutions Telemark Semi-Modular synthesizer (www.analoguesolutions.com) to an AS Oberkorn Analogue Sequencer.
This video covers basic connections from the Oberkorn sequencer to the Telemark synth (connecting: pitch x 2, filter, and EG/Trigger).
Another great feature of the Telemark is the integrated MIDI control, which can be used to transpose live sequences as they play back from the Oberkorn (shown in the video). This means that you can sequence the transposition via MIDI in your DAW of choice - control those analogue basslines!
Synths in video: Telemark, Station X/Y, TBX-303 [Analogue Solutions]
Sequencing the TBX-303: AS Europa
*Simple drum pattern provided by a Machinedrum."

Magic Echo Music PALette V2 Pre-Order Now Open
via Magic Echo Music
"We are thrilled to announce our new PALette V2 semi modular! It is an important addition to our product line as we have greatly refined and improved upon the original design of PALette.
The functions are mostly identical to the original PALette, the synth we love to make.
The changes in V2 are realized through the notable improvements in circuit board design and manufacturing.
We are proud of the improvements, as all PCB mounted hardware are quality parts and the build is durable and reliable for touring. We added internal compensation for room temperature, so that the voltage controlled oscillators are in tune wherever you are.
PALette V2 uses matched transistors so that you get improved tracking with external 1v/octave CV keyboards, and we moved the patch panel to the front, making an accessible interface with 1/4″ cables.
Lastly and importantly, we maintained the original sound design of the PALette that we are passionate about!
(Have you heard some of our demos from V1? They are here on Soundcloud.)
Dimensions:
Panel, 16″ wide x 9″ high; Height, 3.5″"

See the seller's other items for more.
"This is your chance to own a one-of-a-kind piece of music history!!! This is THE Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 vintage analog synthesizer owned and used extensively in studio and touring by Paul Humphreys of OMD during the 1980's. It has been used on many of OMD's greatest hits. The memory patches are loaded with original sounds created by Paul and show the virtuosity of this synth pioneer. You will never see or hear another one like it!
This synth was acquired directly from Paul Humphreys' ex-wife at the Southern California home where he lived and worked during the 1980's. It is version 3.2 and has recently been restored to perfect working condition by Audio Rehab, a top vintage synth repair shop in L.A. Cosmetically, it shows the wear you would expect from a work horse of the 80's OMD sound."
