"Up for bid with No Reserve is a used working Prophet 5 Synthesizer, and Anvil Road Case. I purchased this item as part of a delinquent storage unit. When I opened the case the foam padding was rotten and all over the synthesizer. Carefully I vacuumed, and blew the foam loose with compressed air. I removed the bottom metal cover and cleaned the inside as thoroughly as possible. I then slowly warmed it up with my variac as shown in the first picture. Actually I let it cook at 40 volts for 30 minutes. It slowly came to life at about 80 volts but was intermittent. The more I played with in the better it sounded. At first only about half the keys worked, after an hour they all work and sound strong.

Just because I got it to work, does not mean it will work properly for you. I am an ebayer, and not a keyboard player or electronic technician. This synthesizer needs to be serviced by a professional. I only tested for output sounds into a guitar amplifier. No recording or programming features were tested."

"Manufactured by SIEL of Italy for SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS of California in 1983, the Prelude outperforms its rivals. Sonically, it's arguably more powerful than its older twin Siel Orchestra II, older brother Siel Orchestra I (aka ARP Quartet) and period imitations by Roland and Korg. Visually, its red and black design invokes the power and glory of SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS at its Prophet-era peak."

Serge - Patch 07

Serge - Patch 07 from batchas on Vimeo.

VARIABLE Q VCF (VCFQ) used as main voice (gets different pulse signals/divisions from PULSE DIVIDER to variate the simple 4/4 rhythm).
The oscillators are used only as percussive background (modulated by DTGs and DUAL ADSRs and "cut" via VC GAIN on X FADER to keep only the higher signals).
Output amplitude of X FADER on WAD panel is being modulated via VC GAIN for higher dynamic (for VCFQ + WAD to be more percussive too).

MIDI Fighter 3D + Tekken Tag Tournament Mix

YouTube Published on Jul 21, 2012 by Mattias Häggström Gerdt

"With some of the new Rack Extensions in Reason 6.5 I thought I'd try some good old triggered effects! Buffre and the Sugar Bytes stuff are especially good for this.

Light buttons trigger Buffre
Blue buttons trigger Slice Arrangers, Filter Pattern, Spectralizer and The Echo

The track is a Tekken Tag Tournament remix I made for a competition, originally by Akitaka Tohyama and Sanodg.
Remix can be heard here: http://soundcloud.com/anosou/school-drinking-fountain-mix"

SubCon Model 15 Ghost Bassline Disappearance

YouTube Published on Jul 23, 2012 by kuxaansum

"Don't really recall everything in this patch but I wanted to use most of my Plan B stuff. (including the SubCon modules)

I basically had the A-143-1 providing the main envelopes/clocks providing a base for the Model 10, B-logue Serge VCS and an Envelator to chew on. Rene sends CV to SubCon Model 15 with modulatio provided by Model 37.

Filters used were an MFB 24dB, Optomix, Manhattan Analogue MA-35. and Plan B Model 13. The MakeNoise Wogglebug provides modulation, gates to various modules and also ring modulation for Modcan FMVDO (which is also providing FM for Model 15)

MakeNoise Echophon provides some tasty delay for Model 15 path while the secondary output of the Modcan (90 degrees out of phase) is sent to Model 13/Serge VCS and Model 10 with dry output."

Better have a Plan B...

"Love takes time" - on Elka X-1000

YouTube Published on Jul 23, 2012 by organfairy

"I have known this melody since the early 1980's when it came out. But it is only recently that I found out who sang it. I assumed that it was the Swedish band Secret Service. But I found out that it was a German guy who performed under the stage name Steve Benson. I also found out that his real name was Dieter Bohlen - that guy who later formed the band Modern Talking with Thomas Anders.

This time I am playing live - no MIDI or multitracking - though I did a retake to be able to switch camera angles. But the sound is all from the same recording.

Most of the sounds are the standard presets on the organ. Some of the organ sounds are from a preset disc I got when I bought it. And I also programmed a new arpeggio specifically for this song."

Jupiter-8 Patch- "Bright"

Jupiter-8 patch edits: LFO waveforms and the VCF

Published on Jul 23, 2012 by TheSynthFreq

"Hi! :) Here are several examples of Jupiter-8s VCF (voltage controlled Filter) with different LFO WFs routed to the VCF for (modulation). I used LFO sine, square, triangle and random waveforms offered on Jupiter-8. These are very typical waveforms offered on most synths. Note: if a synthesizer does not offer multiple waveforms for the LFO, then the LFO is most likely modulated by a SINE.

LFOs are in most cases used for adding vibrato, tremolo and other commonly used modulations, but every waveform can be used to modify the VCF and the VCA rather than pitch to get some interesting synthy textures.

LFOs are used to introduce a repeating change in pitch (vco/ oscillator), or timbre/tone color (vcf/filter), and or volume (vca/amp) or any combination within.

I use the LFOs to VCF (LFO mod) to create an 'arp' effect as if an arp was being used but instead of running the arpeggiator (which has a rate of 1-20hz), I used the VCF LFO (saw waveform).
LFO on the Jupiter-8 has a rate from 0.05hz to 40hz. An LFO rate from 20-40hz range is into the audio range (normal human hearing is about = 20hz to 20kHz.
So, the LFO offers a very basic effect of an "arp" but is capable of faster rates than the arp itself.

LFO Waveforms -
Sine= smooth increase and decrease in pitch, timbre or volume/amplitude.
Saw= Types: Positive ramp (rise in value) /Negative ramp (fall in value). Saw creates a repetitive fall/rise of pitch, timbre or volume/amplitude.
Square= repetitive "on/off", "high-low" variation of pitch, timbre or volume/amplitude. Rand S/H= random signal, variation of pitch, timbre and amplitude/volume.

Jupiter-8s LFO can also modulate PWM (not shown).
